Each character presents some Of his
best writings or speeches Just as he
in real life would have given them.
OF course all these can not be given
in one evenings entertainment. for
some characters Of every day life also
are presented.
1t is urged by the committee In
charge that all high school pupils, all
teachers, all members Of literary soci.
eties or clubs. should attend this en-.
tertainment, for they will hear much
of interest and be delighted with the
literary quality that is 30 dominant in
Mr.. Landon's selections. He uses
nothing trivial, only things that are
worth while, yet his entertainment is
universally successful, proving that
all people. whatever their station, can
appreciate the best.

There are only two more days and
the old year will have gone. If we
people knew that there were cnly two
more days for us to live, there sure
would be great change, NO doubt in
some Of US.
/ am proud to report that | have
not seen any one drunk nor have I
heard Of any one spelling the fun
or Joy of any noe in that way in this
section.
The Christmas tree at the Gault
school house was we'll attended, IL
it was raining, and every one pres
ent got a present OF some kind. The
tree was mostly for children of the
Sunday school, and also for the chill
dren who attended the every day
school. The Sunday school was we'll
attended yesterday, IL 1t was Christ
mas. 1t seemed the same interest
was manifested and we bad many
visitors.
I have heard of only one accident
so far and that was to Mr.. James
Mckinney, his horse throwing him
Off and spraining his ankle SC he had
to 60 on crutches. This kept him
from seeing much Of the fun as he
could net 20 about as he would like.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 2, 1914.

The result of the attempt at recall
in the municipal election in Orange
burg this week is gratifying to the
moral and law-abiding element in
this tSate. The mayor and one coun-
Gilman of the city of Orangeburg
were but the target for the lawless
element in that city. That the peo-
pie have vindicated both men by
overwhelmingly re-electing them is a
cause for sincere rejoicing.

Buffalo News Letter.

Christmas has come and gone with
it's pleasures and sorrows and tonight
as the old year is fast dying, memory
goes back to childhood and refreshed
with the thoughts of bygone days,
fingers over happiness and JOY that
can never be recalled:
Roll backward, roll backward,
Oh, Time in your flight.
Make me a child again,
Just for tonight"
All! If we could hear in chilllsh
innocence the stories related of old
Santa Claus, and believe in the WIS.,
its of ST. Nicholas, the mythlcai
Saint of years ago. Happy, happy
days. The veil has been lifted and
we know in reality Santa Clauses
are at work everywhere on Christmas
night, making happy the hearts OF
children the worll over. Yes, chill
dren there is real Santa Clause in
every home. Look for aim every
Christmas.

YE MEN OF ACTIONi

Our admiration goes out to the men
and women who carry on the worlds
work. In shop. in field, office and
mine, on land on sea-where men and
women toll, the great work of the
world goes on. 1t is something to
stir the heart to be part, although
very small one, of the great world
of activities. And the beautiful thing
about it all is that the honors are
about equally divided. The humble
toiler in the mill, if he be doing good
work faithfully, is as worthy of COM
mendation as is the bank president.
He is just as necessary as is the man
of prominence. Indeed, it is upon the
shoulders of the humble toiler that
the men of large activities must
stand. 1t is true that histry, in re-
cording the life Of the great general,
often overlooks the private soldier.
But it would be feeble army were
there no soldiers. but only captains
and leaders. 1t is thus in the field.of
human action everywhere. And each
man and woman who is honestly fill
J. y
ing the place God has given, is as
worthy Of honor as any living man.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

We extend to all our readers best
wishes for prosperous and happy
New Year. May blessings abound
and may hearts be glad throughout
the year 1914.
The Times has reason to be thank
full. The past year has been one of
prosperity for US. Our circulation
climbed from 225O to 275O. Our out
look is most encouraging. To the
many friends who have helped us to
climb upward, to the old and tried
subscribers, to the men and women
Of Union county. we extend our sin
cere thanks. We expect to reach for
higher things during this good year
of grace. We purpose improving the
paper in it's editorial and news de-
partments. We have, heretofore,
been so absorbed in improving the
mechanical department, that we have
not been able to meet our own ex-
pectations in the matter of producing
a, newsy and we'll edited paper. We
have before us only a few months
more of struggle and we will then
have paid in full for one of the best
plants in the State of South Carolina.
We do not see how we could we'll i'm
prove upon our present equipment.
But we are now reaching forth to
the making of a better NEWSPAPER.
We earnestly desire to give to the
people of Union county a first-class
newspaper. And we firmly believe
we can do this.
We look into the future with heart
unafraid, with abounding hope; with
good will to all men; with faith in
our fellows; with trust in the living
God.
A Happy New Year to one and all.
