NEW A GIFT

What has become of that good old
greeting once so familiar to us here i'll
the South, especially here in the south
west, New Years Gift" For in those
good old days it was the custom to say.
New Years Gift" quite as much as
"Christmas Gift" True, the expectation
of a gift on New Years Day was not
so often nor so abundantlv realized as
at Christmas. hut failing the first there
reason to hope that the second would
not fail. Probably there was a feeling
that the hearty liberal Christmas spirit
could not die so close to the Christmas
time. Hence the New Years gift. Pos
sibly the New Years present was even
more ancient as a.custom than that OF
the present on Christmas morn though
the latter is quite evidently linked tC
the visit of the wise men to the babe in
the ranger.
We suggest that this is q good time
to revive the old New Year custom. This
year the high waters have delayed the
receipt of Christmas goods for the PEG
pie who usually deal in them. The delay
has shortened the time in which The
merchants may expect to realize OF
their investments. We suggest that the
buying might very appropriately extend
over a few days-through the holiday
into the New Year. Let us remember oul
friend-the friend whom we cannot
reach on Christmas dar-with an ap
propriate New Years eift.tT 49,

FLOOD VICTIMS.

The Herald is glad 10 call attention
to the offer Of the express company to
transport free Of charge donations Of
food and clothing to food sufferers in
the places which have asked for relief.
1t is also a pleasure to announce that
Mrs. j. W. Holt. aud>AIrs. j. J.. Cooke
of Brownsville Will receive donations of
clothing or food That NAV be offered for
the fOod victims .and will see that they
are sent where directed. Let us remcm-
Der that the need of those destitute PEG
pie is not only great but imminent. Lose
no time in reaching them with your
benefactiOns. This is an oppOrtune time
to quote the following able editorial on
the subject fom the Houston Post of Dee
ember 10.
There are in Houston thousands
of cast off garments that would be
of service to the flood sufferers i'm
the submerged river valleys and
these promptly sent would enable 4
much larger measure of relief to be
procured by money contributions.
The larger number of sufferers.
perhaps, are negro farmers and
their families who occupied cabins
in proximity to the rivers. I'm most
instances they have lost practical
ly all of their household effects. and
this clothing would be acceptable
to them and enable the relief com
mittee to utilize some of the money
to set these people up again.
The Post suggests. therefore. that
every housewife in Houston bundle
up such clothing as she is willing
to give, and send ii to the Auditori-
UNI at once. Mems clothing Of all kind
women's clothing. children's cloth
ing. shoes. hats. blankets. quilts
all these things are in immediate
demand. There are thousands of
people 70 he supplied.
In good time. also. donations of
unused furniture of every descrip-
tiOn-tables. chairs, beds. etc.-will
be serviceable to the sufferers.
1t is of the highest importance to
get the sufferers back to work at
the earliest practicable moment
The floods have caused much dam
age to be repaired, and it will be
all the sufferers can do to get in
shape for next seasons crop IT
would be unnecessary waste to permit
the submerged farms to Law idle.
The land has been greatly enriched
by the silt which has come down
with the water and if it can be pre-
pared in time the probability is that
the crop yield of 1911 will be one of
the largest in the history of the af-
fiicted area. We must help the PEG
pie to grasp this one blessing that
has come with their misfortune.
If it be true that the legislature
is TO convene in special session soon,
as has been reported. this disaster
is one that will warrant the legis-
lature i'll extending aid, which the
constitution authorizes in time of
public calamity. The taxes of The
sufferers can be RENTED and IN an
preparation made hat will enable
them to begin work at once.
The work of rehabilitation is s~ssaa
necessary as the work of reliefand

The announcement that after March

from the great mail order houses, many
of whose catalogS weigh two or three
pounds. These people are receiving en-

of the parcel post system and it is no
more than fair that they should also feel

WIND BLEW FRIDAY.
Storm Friday Morning Accompanies
by High Winds. Followed
by Celd.

speaking of the weather-everybooy
was doing it Friday. There was so
much weather that it crowded out eV-
erv other thought and interest, ana
people could scarcely do any work for
discussing the storm and relating
their experience of the night before.
Those who live in frame houses tolo
how the structures rocked and shook
until the very beds swayed, and every
hody could relate tale OF banging
blinds and smashing panes and creak-
ing and groaning trees.
1t was a very severe wind storm ana
verv unusual one, so said Mr. Geren
of the Columbia weather bureau. 1OS
un,,sual feature lay in the fact that
If was not one of the customary west
Indian hurricanes but was an lntano
hlow and for such a storm was very
intense. In Columbia the wind aver
aged 40 miles an hour Thursday from
a. m. until daylight, the h1gnese
velocity being So miles An hour, main
tanned for five minutes.
1--WE do not measure less than a
mile Mr.. Geren explained, "and so
we do not get each gust, of course
and I am sure some of tthose Thurs
day night easily reached velocity
of 20 miles an hour"
Height of Storm.
The height of the storm in Colum-
bia was reached at about $3.50 o'clock
Friday morning for the barometer
stood still during that quarter of an
hour and then began to rise. The Wlno
however, did not lull perceptibly al
ter that but kept up the furious howl
through the remaining hours OF dark
ness # rained considerably too, the
downpour adding at times to the gen.
eral bedlam. However, only .1S OF an
inch fell.
The temperature Thursday night was
eu,te moderate until between ana
o'clock when there was short drop
Of several degrees. From that time
nnfil O'Clock in the afternoon
the highest temperature was Al and
the lowest 3S.
This storm was central Thursday
night over Alabama and moved north
east, increasing considerably In
intensity as it advanced. Calculating
roughly its centre passed about zoo
miles from Columbia toward the north
western part of the State. COLUMBIA
was Just about in the eastern qua
drant of the storm and as the winds
of generally highest in this quadrant
it is probable that it was in this Sec
ton that the storm was at its sever
