JUSTICE SET AT NAUGHT.

Among the batch of fifty-odd par
dons of manslayCrs recently grant
ed by Governor Blease as a
thank Offering to the people
Of South Carolina, were two for
which he can show no justification
or excuse, except maybe a petition
more or less numerously signed, ask
ing for clemency.
One of the cases was that Of James
G.. Seigler. prominent farmer, who
little more than a year ago. upon
the streets of Aiken, shot to death a
policeman named Patterson because
Patterson was eXpostulating with
him for transgressing one of the city
ordinances.
The other was the case of blind
tiger, who near Dalzell, In Sumter
county, shot to death a rural police
man after the officer had taken a keg
of his Illicit whiskey and was putting
it in his buggy. The officer was shot
when his back was turned. AL
| though these two cases were so cold
blooded as to shock the people of the
entire state, the governor granted
pardons to each when the men had
served less than a year of their
terms in the penitentiary. From the
wholesale manner In which the gov
ernor is turning murderers out of the
penitentiary 1t is clear that he be-
lieves the majority OF the white peo-

Who Buys Red Cross SeaIso

'In selling Red Cross Seals, looks
are deceiving," says weIl-known
Washington society leader who each
year has charge OF a booth in a large
department store. "Aristocratic-look-
ing men, or elegantly dressed women
with diamonds on their fingers, buy
five cents worth OF seals, while little
children empty their pocketsbooks Of
all their pennies. Only the other day
a little boy came up to the table with
his mother. Mother, how many
stamps shall / buy?" he said. "As
many as you have pennies for, she
told him. and he turned ris pocket
book upside down and gave forty
five.
At one OF the other stores where
the booth is near the door on the
first floor, the little boy who leaves
the evening paper stopped to examine
the pictures hung above the Red
Cross table. There was one of tuber-
culous children taken at the hospital
which the Red Cross Seals help to
support. Seeing some little colored
children in the group, the paper boy
OF informal applications from all
doin'?" He was told that they were
sick. Then, spying the seals, he asked
what they were for. She told him they
were to sell to help the sick children
in the picture. Digging a penny from
his pocket, he put 1t on the table and
started to take p0ckage OF twenty
five. He was told that the stamps were
a cent each and he could only have
one for his penny. Crestfallen for
only a minute, he took the seal and
stuck ii on one OF his papers. Start
ing out the door he turned and said
as a parting shot: THE next paper
! sell is going to bring two cents"

The greatest accomplishment for
the city OF Florence that we know of
has been the union in interest and in
endeavor Of the City Federation of
Women's Clubs and OF the chamber of
commerce in the work for Florence.
If we could have been asked to sug-
gest something that would be of the
most practical benefit, the most far
reaching in its effects, we would have
suggested that. The woman make
the business OF the town and they can
do wonders for Florence. It is their
interests just now that is particu-
larly needed. The future will open
up so many more avenues for con
structive work that we get dizzy
thinking about them.-Florence

HOUSEWIVES LEAGUE NOTES.
Its Aims and Objects are Essentially
i'm the Interest of Home Life.

That the National Housewives
League, of which all branchtes are a
part, was organized to meet very
real need of the present day. and
that its aims and objects are es
sentially in the interest OF home life,
is fact that should recommend it
to thinking people everywhere.
In former days much that the
Housewives League is now striving
for was under te careful SUPER
vision Of the MI. ess of the house
whether il was of the thrifty New
England type or on the lavish scale
OF Southern life.
The supply of meat came from
home-raised and ome-butchered
stock, and everything, from bread to
the most elaborate dishes, was made
at home.
Now that we are, at the present
time, depending so largely upon
canned goods and delicatessen pro-
ducts, il behooves the wife and moth
er to read labels carefully, to see
that the food stuffs she buys are
screened from the deadly fly and pro-
tected from handling, that bakeries
and dairies are sanitary, and in the
interest of the family purse, that
weights and measures are correct.
The endeavor to make possible a
classified and trained household GER
vice and an effort to Dring about CO.
operation between the women of
cities and country places, to put
wholesome country produce at the
disposal of city consumers, at a fair
price, would all seem to be objects
which would excite the interest and
recognition of all people who are not
satisfied to merely exist.
With such purposes as these In
view, il would seem that every city
and town In the state would desire
to form a branch OF the league.
The criticism has been made that
the work undertaken by the leag
was too diversified, that too many
things are attempted, but IL one will
consider that they are but different
lines or radii, of activity leading out
from one center-which Is the home
1t will be found to be consistent
on the whole.
The work OF the housewives
League has nothing whatever to do
with the enfranchisement of women,
but is in every particular concerned
with domestic interests and raising
to a higher level all the various
branches OF home building, which
means a pleasanter and more health
full life for families of all classes.
Inquiries regarding the formation
of branch leagues will be promptly
answered by Mrs. r. NJ. Masters,
state secretary, Housewives League.

Washington, December 22.-T. L.
Vaughan, a preacher formally in
charge of the Odd Fellows Home for
Children, at GreenvilIe, S. C. appealed
to the Supreme Court today TO set
aside his conviction of assault upon a
l4-year-old girl at the Home. The
Court will review the case.
Vaughan. who was sentenced to be
electrocuted, claims that this sentence
cannot be imposed upon him because
electrouction was authorized by a law
enacted after he had been indicted
He also claims that the trial Judge
erred in charging the jury that he
confessed to the technical charge
Naughan's attorney claims that he
merely confessed to great moral
wrong.

should be punished four-fold more
than the negro.
Well, we will hope for the better.

4 CHRISTMAS HYMN.
NO tramp of marching armies,
y banners flaming far,
4 lamp within a stable,
And In the Sky a star

NO tramp of marching armies,
y banners flaming far,
\ lamp within stable,
And in the sky a star.
Their hymns of peace and gIadness
To earth the angles brought;
Their Gloria in Excelsis''
To earth the angels taught.
When in the lowly manger
The holy mother maid
In tender alteration
Her Babe of Haven laid.
Born lowly in the darkness,
And none so poor as He,
The little children Of the poor
His very own shall be.
No rush of hostile armies,
But just the budding sheep,
The angels singing of the Christ
And all the world asleep.
No flame OF conquering banners,
No legions sent afar;
lamp within a stable,
And in the sky a star.

Christmas Spirit Gone?

Chicago Daily.
Il wonder sometimes If enough Of
this Christmas spirit is left in the
Christmas celebration. Would IL not
he a good thing to begin weeks ahead
OF Christmas to preach the doctrines
of Christ in the homes as we'll as in
the churches? The mothers OF the
household have this task 1t is theirs
by virtue of loving motherhood. If
they would appeal to husbands, sons,
and daughters along this line of love
and fear of God. how much would it
mean To Christmas? a big dinner or
an expensive present might be given
at any time, and the receiver of them
would be hungry again, and would
want another present in little while
But in the teaching of the Christmas
spirit as a remembrance of the birth
of Christ and of the Christian re-
ligion something is given which can
not be taken away"
