ANOTHER JOYOUS CHRISTMAS.
St. Nicholas Makes His Usual Visit, and
Everybody is Happy.

ST. Nicholas Makes His Usual Visit, and
Everybody is Happy.
Santa Claus made his annual visit
te Kingstree and Williamsburg Mon
day night and his presence was felt
Tuesday morning in every home in
the county, it is believed, especially
wherever there were children.
1t was sane, happy Christmas to
most of our dwellers. because the
year has been a successful one from
business standpoint; the farmers
harvested abundant crops. and re-
ceived high prices for the product
of their labor. They had more
money to spend on their homes and
families at this festal season than
they have perhaps had in years, and
as a result many homes have at last
been provided with useful house.
hold articles that had before been
only visionary. This conclusion is
reached on account of the volume
of business enjoyed by local mer-
merchants and dealers. The town
was better equipped, perhaps, than
ever before to handle the trade,
considering the scarcity of many
lines of merchandise, the shipping
embargoes and freight congestlons
that every part of the country has
recently experienced. Now, making
liberal deductions for these incum'
brances it must be admitted that
Kingstree's merchants did their part
we'll in providing for the demands
of their patrons.
So far no one here has suffered
from the shortage or entire lack of
certain articles of commerce that
our merchants are looked to to sup
ply, at times, however, they have
had no little difficulty in obtaining
some of these and found it neces-
sary to limit the sale so as to allow
all to get small portion this has
been the case particularly. with
sugar, and as result, doubtless,
less sugar was consumed for cakes
and pastry this season than ever be-
fore. Where it has been the Gus
tom of the good housewife to bake
four, five or six handsome big cakes
and dozen or so pies of different
kinds. one or two cakes has been
made to serve and pies-well they
were practically cut out entirely
save for the delicious old sweet
potato variety which requires little
or no sugar, as syrup may be SUBJ
stituted.
Turkeys were plentiful, though
high, and adorned many tables at
Tuesdays dinner. Geese, ducks and
chickens were also to be had for the
price and many of these less honor
ed birds were served to appease the
hungry hordes that look on Christ
mas day chiefly as day of feasting.
Yes, it was happy occasion. The
son or daughter who has been Oft at
school was present to make up the
missing link IN the family chain.
But in many homes there was a boy
or two, perhaps three, missing from
the family circle. His absence
brought the fact strinkingly to mind
that this grand country of ours is
involved IN a terrible war and he
has been called to the colors to do
his bit toward the establishment OF
universal peace and happiness.

CALLING THEIR BLUFF

~ HE I. W. w. threat of a
VI general tie-up of north
west industries, if GER
tain of its members were not
released from jail. vanished
into thin air like a bursting
soapbubble.
The failure of the threaten
ed strike proves that the l. W.
w. leaders are principally
noise and bluff and that, with
their influence snuffed, the
rank and file of the organiza-
ton are sane enough. 1t also
shows the efficacy of prompt
and energetic action. The sci
zure of the leaders by military
authorities was an answer to
blatant bluff that spoke elo-
quently of the fact that Uncle
Sans patience is exhausted.
Had such measures been taken
at Butte there would have
