The Community Christmas.

The Community Christmas tree
this year was success in the many
cities where they were set up. and in
every particular reflected the true
spirit of the season. In the larger
cities Of this nation the community
tree was set up in central place and
was adorned with Christmas for the
community. There is about the Com
munity Christmas Tree the much of
the original Christmas spirit--the
first principles Of humanity-and the
result of pleasing and refreshing.

was scrip and nothing but scrip, and
consequently the bank was short-lived.

SMITH DISCUSSES
HIS SENATE WORK
Very Glad Farmers Are Aided
by the Currency Law.
PLANTER is BUSINESS MAN
Farmers Business is Such That He
Needs Time i'm Which to
Square His Debts.
Charleston News and Courier


Il have certainly enjoyed this op-
portunity of meeting the planters of
Charleston County and of seeing what
intelligent efforts they are making to
improve agricultural conditions
In this section" said United States
Senator Ellison Durant Smith to re-
porter for The News and Courier. SEN
ator Smith was here in attendance on
the annual meeting OF the Sea Island
Cotton Growers Association, at which
he delivered an address. He was in
terviewed at the Commercial Club,
where he was the centre of a large
group of planters, all of whom were
interestedly making inquiries of the
Senator concerning the various meas
ures he has introduced in Congress re
Gently for the improvement of agricul-
tural conditions in the country and es-
pecially for the improvement OF cotton
conditions.
DISCUSSES CURRENCY BILL.
Senator Smith did not discuss poll
tics. He remarked that he had not
come here for the purpose. He discus
sed the currency bill fight interestin-
gly and said that the thing which had
probably given him most pleasure
during the last few months was the
adoption of his resolution by the De-
morcratic caucus TO endorse the
amendment to the currency bill MAX
ing farmers notes running as long
as six months basis of the new cur
rency, and also the amendment to five
years the life Of loans on farm lands.
South Carolina represented by Repres
entative Lever in the House and by
q. IA n.
this way was instrumental in per-
forming what is considered a great
service TO the farmers of the whole
South.
FARMER A BUSINESS MAN.
Respecting embodiment of these
items in the currency bill, Senator
Smith said:
"They recognize the man engaged
in agriculture as a business man as
well as a farmer. Their effect is to
give the farmer six months time on
his loans instead OF nienty days. The
nature of the farmers business is
as collateral in national bank loans.
before six months after negotiating
his loans"
He said that his aim had been to
put Hnto the currency system of the
Uullcu " ndo DCCh III
1t before, the recognition OF real
estate and the products OF real estate
as collateral in national bank loans.
Senator Smith is so pleased with
the result Of his efforts in this matter
that, exhibiting the original draft OF
his resolution. containing the sigma
turers OF twenty-seven Democratic
Senators, he said he intended having
1t framed and keeping 1t permanently.
He said that though he has devoted
the major portion of his efforts while
in Congress toward the betterment OF
agricultural conditions, especially in
the South, and has had several i'm
portant measures toward this end
adopted, he was perhaps as highly
pleased over this piece of work as
over anything else he had ever done.
Senator Smith left the city on an
afternoon train for Florence.

Flight Of Files.

That the fly is a peripatetc and
what the politicians call a good mixer
Is well known. The linear extent OF
his peregrinations is, however, still
matter OF dispute And as he certainly
carries with hir. and distributes infec-
ton, whenever there is any to be had,
the more or less exact determination
Of his maximum range is of great prac-
tical Importance. AT one time he was
thought to be very much of home
body" never wandering more than a
few hundred or a thousand feet from
his birthplace. Then observations
made in England and elsewhere threw
doubt upon this conclusion, and 1t was
finally proved that he may travel at
least mile from home.
Now comes along Prof. G. f. Hodge
with a 500 per cent. extension of the
record, and the opinion that flies are
able to travel much farther than is
commonly supposed New York Eve

BANK. HEARING ENDS
IN NEW YORK CITY
McAdoO and Houston Will Visit
Boston Next.
N. Y. WANTS BIG BANK
Baltimore Fayorite City III Plan is
Adopted to Establish Several
Banks on Seaboard.

New York, January THE FEEDER
al reserve organization committee to-
day concluded it's hearings in New
York, having devoted three days to
ascertaining the views Of New York
bankers concerning the task with
which the committee is charged CT set
ting up the regionalreserve districts
provided in the new law and selecting
the cities in which the banks are to
be placed. The committee consisting
of Secretary McAdoo of the treasury
department and Secretary Houston of
the department of agriculture Will
proceed to-morraw to Boston.
After the hearings here had been
concluded Secretary McAdoo was
asked whether he had been impressed
by the arguments advanced almost
unanimously by the New York bank
ers who have appeared in favor of
establishment here of a regianla bank
OF such size that it wauld overshadow
all the others.
81 hope" said the Secretary smil-
lingly, that am not as green as
look"
NO CONCLUSIONS REACHED.
Mr. McAdoo would say pothingmore
futher than that the committee had
reached no conclusions. Those who at
tended the hearings and listened to
the objections raised by the commit
tee to the proposal for a huge New
York bank believed the most probable
solution of the question in the light
of evidence so far adduced was the
placing of three or four regional
banks on or near the Atlantic sea-
board instead of having one large dis
trict Centring i'm New York and inclu-
ding New England and part or all of
the Middle Atlantic States.
The cities most frequently mention
ed in this connection were New York,
Boston Baltimore and Atlanta. Wash
ington and Philadelphia were also
alluded to often but it was the opin-
ion of majorityyof the witnesses that
Baltimore was entitled to preference
over either of these cities. Washing
ton was objected to because no large
commercial intrests center in that
city, although some of the witnesses
said it would be Of advantage to es-
tablash a bank there to be in close
touch with the Federal board.

FLAG DAY TRIBUTE

The patriotism of a nation in time of war is proved in the manner in which that nation fights. The patri- otism of a nation in time of peace is proved by the way that nation lives ana honors itself. But the patriotism ' me times of war and the times of sssee is always exempIifled by it's ~0'snip of the flag which represents the nation.

began to look about for banner of our own.
 From the first the number 13 was conspicuous on whatever was adopt ed by individuals or by companies of soldiers. There were lS seceding CO., loaies, and so the mystic number was fastened upon us.
 The "rattlesnake flag" had the snake broken into l9 pieces on one side of 1t, and on the other the pieces rejoined into a fighting whole.
 It was not until the revolution vas we'll on it's way that the stars and stripes was regularly adopted by Con gress as the official banner; the date being June IA, TIT. The design was l3 red and white stripes, with l3 stars in a blue field in the upper left hand corner.
 Ht iliHA NhahEe hiauc III NAt AA~b was by the addition of two stars and two stripes when Vermont and Ken lucky were admitted to the sisterhood of states.
 Later it was decided to reduce the number of stripes to the original 1S and keep them thus, adding star only for each new state. This new star is placed on the flag the first Fourth of July following the admis- sion of the state.
 At first the stars were in a circle but the increasing number of states made 1t necessary to spread them It over bigger space and now they are in rows.
 The affectionate name, "Old Glory was bestowed upon the flag in 1851 by William Driver. a deep sea cap tain of Salem. Mass. A friend pre- senting his brig with a new flag, he ran 1t to the masthead and saluted 1t as "Old Glory" and so the flag has been called from that day to this.
