In thinking about Christmas during
all of this beautiful day my mind
somehow has gone back to the Christ
mas of the long ago, when / was boy
at the old home down on the Aull
hills, not far from Jolly Street, and
the kind of Christmas we had then,
and while I believe tnat al families
should spe.ld the Christmas in their
own homes, I have about made up ny
mird to go to the old home now over
in Greenwood county and spend the
Christmas eve there ard hang up my
stocking again as I did down at the
old home in this county many years
ago. wish could go back and hang
it up at that big old fireplace in the
old house at the hills, but that house
is now unoccupied. Somehow in those
days of the long ago Christmas and
snow were thought of together, and
so far as my memory can recall we
always had a beautiful snow on
Christmas day. And remember that
my stocking generally contained few
pieces of stick candy, generally red
candy and peppermint, and an apple
and an orange and bunch of raislns,
and always package of red tlre
crackers, and that I always valued the
fire crackers more than anything that
old Santa would bring me. And that
as soon as could get out in the yard
/ would be with the negro boy VINO
was my pal, and we would shoot hre-
crackers and have big lot of fun.
They were the small kind of frecrack-
ers and did not do any harm, and
really did not make great deal OF
noise. And then we would go rabbit
hunting on the snow and you couii
track the rabbits all over the hills.
And sometimes we would have RABBIT
gums set at the fences where the rag
bits had gnawed the rails ard thus IN
dicated that their path went that way.
Sometimes we would get a live rabbit
in the gums. In those days there were
rail fences around all the fields that
were in cultivation. AS for ChrlS';-
mas without good snow why it seems
IN me row that such thing was un-
known. Now we are having almost
beautiful spring weather right up to
Christmas, and jus. enough rain to
keep the soil in good shape to be
plowed and the roads from being dus,
ty. 1t is really the most beautiful
December weather have ever seer
While 1 do not recall ever to have
been absent from my own home on
Christmas eve since l set up house
keeping, l am persuaded that l Will
take my three American boys and
their mother and go over to the CO
home and let them, along with me
hang up their stockings there on TINS

WOULD PUT CLAMP
ON LONG W|NDED
DEBATES IN SENATE
Republican Members Confer
With President About
Proposed Resolution.

Wa shington, Sept. 2S.-A movement
to curtail senatorial privileges of prac-
tically unlimited debate reached such
proportions Wednesday that an unoffi-
cial committee of Republican senators
went to the White House and conferred
on the question with President Hard
ing.
While the proposed rule has not vet
been drawn up, it was understood that
the plan contemplated a change in the
senate rules so that cloture would be
invoked by a. mere majority vote in
stead of by the two-thirds vote now
required. After invocation Of the rule,
each senator's time for debate would be
limited to one hour. it was said.
Sudden as was the movement to def
initely restrict the ancient rule permit
ting senator's to speak at length, those
behind the plan declared that for the
first time in the senate's history the
adoption Of a real majority rule i'm
pended.
The formal committee who discussed
the matter with the president, consist
ed of Senator's Lenroot, Wisconsin;
of New Jersey and Kel-
logg of Minnesota, and who is said to
have received assurances that the ex-
ecutive would not interpose any OBJ
jections to cloture plan.
The movement so far has been con-
fined to a number of Republican SEN
ators, having been initiated actively at
q conference of about dozen Repubi-
cans Tuesday night. The Charter
members" comprise mostly Republicans
Of the younger group, including, how
ever, senators from both eastern and
states.
Obstruction Of the anti-beer bill re-
Gently in the senate was said to have
been the immediate cause Of the move
ment. 1t was said in addition, how
ever, that during the recent recess Of
senator's had heard many
of delay in senate business
because Of filibustering and other
Of protracting debate.
