Increase in Taxes of County.

The county tax paying season opened
last Tuesday, and Treasurer Hinton re-
ported that the total payments on the
first day amounted to about 5000, which
if taken as a barometer, indicates that
the collections will be paid in early this
year. Mr.. Hinton attributes this to the
fact that money is more plentiful in the
country. lie anticipates few delinqucnts
this year compared with former years.
The taxes in Pickens county this year
amount to 5000, 600 AZ compared with
$3.50, 0oo last year. This increase is due
chiefly 10 the increase in assessed
values of property and to the advance
in taxation OF railroads and cotton mills

The first part of the production, Min strelsy of 191S," to be presented at the Jefferson theatre Friday and Saturday by the Twenty-ninth Divisional Minstrels ot Camp Mcclellan contains charming ar ray of musical hits, both song and in strumental.
 One of the big features in this respect is Mickey Fox's Wild Wild Women"
 The inimitable Mickey, who has the reputation of being the funniest man in Jersey, has always proven one of the star numbers in the production and q treat is in store for those fortunate enough to see him. Supplementing Mick ey's feature is ''The Divisional Quartet the finest soldier quartet in the world, being composed of F. J. Murray, Robert Tillery, William Holt and Herbert Sears.
 This quartet which has been recog nized by one of the largest photograph companies in the world, for whom they will make records in the near future, will render selections dear to the ear of the enlisted man. As they are themselves enlisted men their interpretation of these songs is certain to be melodiously vivid and accurate.
 Other song hits responsible for the high standard of the entertainment are furnished by Earl Grimes, '.the sweetest

There's only one little girl lives here

And measured sock with a sober
face.
Just then a wee little note fell out,
And fiuttered low like bird about
Aha! What's this?' said he in sur

And he pushed his specs up close to
his eyes,
And he read the address in child's
rough plan:

She is poor little girl. but very good,
So thought perhaps you kindly would

the tradition that on the night of the
birth of Christ, a wall went through
the pagan lands, and voices were
heard crying out that the great god
Pan is dead"
Perhaps one of the most suggestive
legends associated with the scene in
the stable of bethlehem is the repre-
sentation, in northern art, of Saint Jo-
seph with a candle or torch in his
hand. This, at first sight, might APP
pear natural as the scene is in the
night. It's repetition in the daylight
shows that the lighted candle sug-
gests Enthusiastically that Christ is the
Light of the World. E@
An old sixteenth century artist rep
resenting the Nativity in the stable
has committed the strange anachron-
ism of placing a crucifiX over the en-
trance, such as he had so frequently
seen in his own Catholic land!
Most readers will remember how
the Catholic minded Shakespeare has,
in his Hamlet" spoken of the sacred
ness and holy influences of the season
wherein our Saviour's birth is cele-
brated," in which:
No fairy takes, nor witch hath power
to charm;
So hallowed and so gracious is the
time"
The very remarkable legend of All
gustus and the Sibyl is associated
with Christmas. 1t was an old story
in the twelfth century when it was
presented to pilgrims in the Mira
bilia," or medieval Guide-book to
Rome John Capgrave, the Augustin
ian Friar, who travelled to Rome
about the year 1850, repeats it in his
own style. The same author tells us
that he read that with the. star which
appeared to the three kings there was
a Child with a cross and said to them
| that they should seek the new King
born at Bethlehem.

THE CHlLDREN'S HOUR.
A cH,LD's CHRISTMAS SONG.

Lord. I'm just little boy,
Born one day like You,
And I've got mother dear
And birthday, too.
But my birthday comes in spring,
When the days are long.
And the robin in the tree
Wakens me with song.
Since the birds are all away,
Lord, when You are born
Let your angels waken me
On Your birthday morn.
Lord, I'm just little boy
Hidden in the night.
Let your angels spy me out.
Long before it's light.
I would be the, first to wake
And the first to raise
In this quiet. house Of ours
Songs of love and praise.
You shall hear me first, dear Lord,
Blow my Christmas horn;
let your angels waken me
On your birthday morn.
