A Dream.

81 stood on the banks of beautiful
river,
The sands of it's shore as of goh;i
My soul was enraptured by the
thought Of the Giver $50
Of all this glory untold.
AS 1 gazed on that shining river
With eyes that looked from my soul,
The sight made my very heart
quiver,
AS wonder 'lpon wonder did unfold.
At last the silence was unbroken
By music I'd ne'er heard before,
And I saw that this was a token
To look on the opposite shore.
I heard swift wings near me, too,
And a voice whispered softly, "Be-
hold
Gods. angel band before you;
This the city of which you've been
told"
In the midst my dear Saviour was
standing, =
There were marks of the thorns on
his head;
On His hands l saw scars, as uplift-
ed commanding,
He said, "It is I, be not afraid"
One by one, they al, took their
places,
AS the procession moved on in re-
view;
saw hundreds of familiar faces,
That in days gone by I knew.
Then behold I saw there one other,
Fer face to me brightest did seem;
My heart leaped with joy, twas my
mother!
Overcome, I awoke, twas dream.
But dreams like this will come true
some day,
If you act we'll your part.
For Jesus will give you home with
out pay,
If you'll rent Him home in your
heart!

Where there is no Christmas jug
there is no Christmas jag.
"Make more and buy less" should
be the slogan for 1921.

Recipe for Christmas happiness:
Urge the children to hang up as large
stocking as usual and then do your
best to fill it.
Do you read anything these long
evenings? If not, you are losing
good opportunity to derive much real
pleasure from good books.
Let the children's stockings be just
rs large and as well filed as usual
this Christmas. They are children but
once.
If Christmas candy has declined in
proportion to sugar, a fellow can give
his best girl larger box than last
Christmas.
Isn't it fine thing that we can
be happy even if we have no money
in our jeans. 1t is not what man
has that makes him happy.
Great is Che pity that the acreage
of grain in the county is small-much
smaller than usual, with the need
greater.
The question right at this juncture
with most of US is, "Where will I get
the money with which to pay my
1taxes?"
Almost everything for which mon
ey has to be paid in Edgefeld is
marked down, except taxes. We have
not yet heard of taxes being cut in
half.
The sausage season is more well
come than usual. Nothing is compar-
able to homemade, all-pork,' we'll
seasoned sausage for the breakfast
menu these crisp mornings.

The Lord will not look lightly upon
the wave of crime and unprecedent-
ed shedding of human blood now pre-

enough to call down His wrath upon
SO wicked a people.
Are you not glad that whiskey is
not shipped to Edgefeld now by the
carload as in the old dispensary
days? But to go a step further, are
you not glad that the gallon month
law is not now in operation? and let's
all go still another step and say we
are glad that even a quart a month
is prohibited. We are all getting
along better without it.
FGongress ever expects to do any

preceded an election year, instead
of following one, something would be
done to relieve the masses of the
people of the country.

More Drastic Law Needed.

More Drastic Law Needed.
Hotels and merchants in cities are
suffering from the passing of bogus
checks, an evil which is tremendously
on the increase. 1t is very rare that
an honest man draws checks on a
bank that are not. cashed. He eth
er knows his balance in bank war
rants the drawing Of the check or he
feels confident that the bank will in
dulge him for short season in, a
small overdraft. But the dishonest
man, one who knows that he is is
suing worthless check, is concerned
about nothing at the time except OBJ
tanning the cash or merchandise from
his victim for the check. There is now
law on the statute books bearing
upon this phase of dishonest dealing
but it is not drastic enough. The law
needs teeth in it that will make it
terror to evil doers of this class.
Victims of worthless checks will
agree with us in this position.
Japan Preparing For the Future.
1t is reported that Japan has Sc
cured an option on tract of land in
Lower California for naval base,
which is but another step in the pre-
paration fer war against the United
States. Mark our prediction, not
many years will pass before there
will be open conflict between the
United States and Japan, and unless
war is averted through the interven-
tion of the League of Nations or
some other peace-making promoting
agency, there must be resort to
arms, if our national honor and in
tegrity are preserved. Such situa-
tion is not pleasant to contemplate
but, if Coming events cast their shad
ows before them" some of the shad-
lows are already discernable.
| If it be true that Japan has secured
an option on tract of land in Lower
California as a base for naval opera
tions, some means should be devised
for thwarting her plans.
Banks Have Dealt Generously.
We believe the worst of the fnan-
cial stress is over and the banks of
South Carolina, particularly the
banks of Edgefeld county have wealth
cred the storm well. Wherever and
whenever possible banks have in
dulged those whose notes they held.
Had banks not adopted so liberal
policsy the blow would have fallen
heavier on our people. Possibly many
persons would have profted however,
if the banks had forced them to sell
their cotton when the staple was SELL
| ing around twenty-five cents, instead
of permitting them to store it. Our
observation has been that the banks
of Edgefeld county have all along
been disposed to meet the people
half way and more. While there may
be some cases in which they have
urged and forced payment, sound
business and policy requiring it, yet
in the main the bannks have dealt
generously with their patrons.
