81 don't believe that in all my trav-
els | have ever been in city the size
ofsPalatka where the merchants made
finer exhibit of merchandise, espe-
cially Of merchandise suitable for the
Christmas trade"
This is a remark made to The News
by gentleman of middle life, evil
IDENTIFY man of cosmopolitan habits
and culture, who was sitting in the
office of the Hotel James one evening
this week. He continued:
81 have just come from a stroll up
and down your business street and
have been looking in at the window
displays and have been in some of the
stores.
"Not only are the goods as choice
as in the larger cities, but there is
the variety as well. You have some
wonderful stores, and some of them
certainly have artistic window dress
ers.
"The people of this city and the
country are certainly
blessed with a choice of selection
when it comes to Christmas gifts"

SEVERAL THOUSAND
DOLLARS SCATTERED
For Holiday Season Among
Dep0sitors of State Bank
of Pa]atka.

The problem of what to do for
Christmas spending money isn't both
ering the many people in this city who
had the foresight to start in the reg
ular, every week savings plan offered
early in the year by the State Bank
of Palatka.
The scheme was first tried by this
bank a year ago, and was so success
full that it was repeated this year,
with the result that some $4,000 is
now being mailed in small checks to
these Christmas savers.
Of course some will not spend the
money, but will use it as the neucleus
for a permanent savings account. But
the many will regard their checks as
an account specially accumulated for
this season.
"No, it don't pay the bank" said
one of the officials, except it be re-
garded as advertising, and then l rec
kon it does. 1t requires an immense
amount of work and at this time one
of our accountants will be kept pretty
busy figuring interest and writing
checks. There is a great number of
these accounts, and l expect it will be
Monday or Tuesday before we get all
the checks mailed. Of the number
who began the accounts, a very large
per centage have kept them up to the
end. No, these accounts do not re-
main until called for like other saw
ings accounts; we send each depositor
a check for his account witt. interest

cations were each to receive bequests
of $1,000 or more, and like be-
quests were to go to cid friends,
among whom were Mrs. Gov. F. Peek

Smith of Jacksonville. That Mr..
Strunz intended to make another will
since his return from New York sew
eral weeks ago is certain; he had so
told friends here. and the fact that
the old will, stripped of its sigma
ture remaining in his safe is evidence
that he retained it simply for guild

will go to his nephews and a niece.

see these people leave this section
through fear, when they have mo-
Tested no man, given offense to no
man, and have only quietly filled
their modest places in the world.
If we are correct in this we would
have every good citizen of this coun-
ty give these harmless negroes as
surances of safety and of the good
will of our people to the end that
they may enjoy the small amount OF
property they have purchased from
the white man, and that their proper
ty may not be confscated on account
of their deserting it. In times OF
disorders such as we have had there
is always more or less excitement,
and a good amount of wild talk,
which does a great deal of harm, but
which in reality is not seriously spo-
ken.
And it is so now. There is no
reason for any law-abiding negro to
feel that he may not live here just
as he has always done. AS long as
he lives within the law, and attends
to his own legitimate occupation, and
does not meddle with other peoples
affairs, even those who are called
lawless will have nothing against
him. It is only the vicious among
the negroes, as it is the violent
among the whites who make trouble
and get into trouble. ."-Spartanburg

A SENSIBLE VIEW.

The public generally is more or
less familiar with the conditions
which have existed at Abbeville dur
ing the past several weeks growing
out of the lynching of a negro for
cursing a white man and the exodus
of negroes from that country which
followed a demonstration against
them following the lynching.
In this connection the following
article from Hon. William P. Greene,
editor of The Abbeville Press and
Banner, is very timely and very
sensible:
'From all over the South we hear
reports that the negroes are gong
away, and that the farms are being
deserted. It is true all over this
state that they are going. And they
are going from Abbeville county too.
And some of them are going, not be-
cause they want to 60 but because
they are afraid to remain here, we
very much fear.
It has been only few years since
we went to Calhoun Falls on an
early train on which was a military
company going to keep negroes from
leaving this county. It was claimed
that they were under contract to
labor for this or the other man, and
that they were violating the con-
tracts by leaving after having re-
ceived advances, and the strong arm
of law was invoked to keep them
here. The people then wanted the
negro to stay.
And we believe that the people
still want the negro to remain in the
South-the well behaved, Industrious
negro, who does no one any harm,
and who is always ready to do good
turn to 'ehis white people," Some of
these faithful old negroes, after be-
ing set free from slavery have Ia
bored here faithfully, and by their
labors have accumulated little pro-
perty. Some Of them own their
homes here. We cannot think that
there is any man in Abbeville county
30 nearly a barbarian that he would

GOVERNMENT REPORT
SETS MARKET WILD

New York, Dec. 11.-One of the
most widely excited selling move
ments in the history of the cotton
market followed the publication of
the government crop estimate her
today. There had been heavy iqui-
dation before the report was pub
lished and when the official figures
of the. yield were received the mar
ket was ruling around 1890 for
March, which represented a decline
of nearly $12 a bale from the high
record established just before
Thanksgiving.
Within less than twenty minutes
after the report was published March

mately 162 points below the high

EVER SALIVATED BY
CALOMEL? HORRIBLE!
Calomel is Quicksilver and Acts Like
Dynamite On Your Liver.

Calomel is Quicksilver and Acts Like
Dynamite On Your Liver.
Calomel loses you a day! You know
what calomel is. It's mercury; quick
silver. Calomel is dangerous. It
crashes into sour bile like dynamits,
cramping and sickening you. Calomel
attacks the bones and should never be
put into your system.
When you feel bilious, sluggish,
constipated and all knocked out and
believe you need dose of dangerous
calomel just remember that your
druggist sells for so cents large
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is entirely vegetable and pleasant to
take and is a perfect substitute for
calomel. It is guaranteed to start
your liver without stirring you up in
side, and can not salivate.
Don't take calomel! 1t makes you
sick the next day; it loses you a days
work. Dodson's Liver Tone straight
ems you right up and you feel great.
Give it to the children because it is
perfectly harmless and doesn't gripe.

ONLY ONCE.

Through this toilsome world, alas!
Once, and only once, I pass.
If kindness I may show,
Or a good deed I may do
To my suffering fellow-man,
Let me do it while I can;
Nor delay it: for tits plain
I shall not pass this way again.
Father in heaven, who lowest all,
o help Thy children, when they call ;
That they may build from age to age
An undefiled heritage. -
Teach US to rule ourselves alway,
Controlled and cleanly night and day;
That we may bring, if need arise,
No manned or worthless sacrifice.
Teach us to look, in all our ends,
On Thee for judge, and not our
friends;
That we, with Thee, may walk un-
cowed
By fear or favor Of the crowd.
Teach us the strength that can not
seek
By deed or thought to hurt the weak;
That, under Thee, we may possess
Mans strength to comfort mans dis
tress.
Teach US delight in simple things,
And mirth that has no bitter springs;
Forgiveness free Of evil done,
And love to all men meath the sun!

, A CHRISTMAS CAROL

In tho stiffness Of the midnight,
In the silence Of the Star,
In the slumber Of the white lambs,
On tho hillsides, near and Tar,
Came the Christ Child to his mother;
To the humble oxen's stall;
He, the Babe Of Paradise, sweet;
Lord Of Christmas, King Of all.
Hush, let not q word be spoken
OF his sacrifice for men,
Htooping from his world Of glory.
To be woman-born; q pen
OF sweet straw to be his cradle,
He IL ours, Just ours, today,
Mark that mortal smile, that shining
OF the halo In the hay!
While the palm trees rustic softly,
While his lullaby, the breeze,
Croons amid the angels anthem
Which the star-lit heaven cleayes,
We will claim him ours, our treasure,
Christmas Babe, and Babe divine.
Hail, thrice hail, o mystic stranger,
Nesting in thy straw-fllled shrinel

BOY DESCRI
''NICHT RIDERS"

An attempt to break down the
identification of the IS alleged
North River might riders who
ran Mrs. Margaret Ross and her
two sons off their homestead and
burned their cabin on the night
OF Jan. IL, 1914. was made by the
defense Tuesday in the lengthy
cross-examinatfon of Earl Ross.
Although the might riders"
wore masks of black cloth fasten-
ed under their hats and extending
down over their faces to their
shoulders, young Ross insisted
that he had recognized and talked
with the defendants, Ralph How
ard, Homer Blaine, Ernest Burke
and Claude Vanderpool.
Earl was compelled to recount
all the incidents of the visit of
the might riders"
Fire Shots at Cabin.
MY brother Frank and | had
gone to bed at s o'clock. An hour
or so later we were awakened by
the shout of Ralph Howard, who
said, Come on out; you've been
there long enough
I'VE asked time to dress and
he told us to take our time"
Just then, Earl said, at least a
score of shots were fired into the
Ross cabin from rifles and shot
guns.

mother went outside and called
out to Homer Blaine, asking him
what they wanted
He told us We had to get out,
that we weren't wanted. / think

Vanderpool | would hold him per-
sonally responsible for the prop
erty on our place. He told us
there wasn't room for two cabins,
the Vanderpool cabin and ours, on
that one quarter section"
The witness declared young
Vanderpool made the threat that
the Ross cabin would be burned.
Earl was questioned closely as
to how he could have recognized
Vanderpool. He replied that he
knew him by his voice, by his
build and by the blue logger shirt
and felt hat he was wearing.
