Dial and Smith are holdovers this

The chief ATTRACTION at the cir

Cole L. Blease, twice elected governor.
twice defeated for United States SEN

vate life. again seeking the governor
ship. Mr.. Blease is making an en-
tirely different type of campaign from
those carried on by him in previous
years. Instead of haranguing his au-
diences with denunciations of his
enemies" couched in vigorous and
picturesque language, Mr.. Blease is
appealing for peace and harmony"

whatever might come ne would stand
by his friends" Now he claims that
many of his former political enemies
are supporting him in his present
to be governor "of all the people"
Thomas G. Mcleod. former lieu

strougest candidate against Mr..
Blease, and while three other aspir-
ants for the ONCE are in the race it

chances at present favoring the lat

ufacturer: George K. Laney, promi-
nent member of the state senate. and
John T. Duncan of Columbia, who has
than a dozen years without receiving
more than a few hundred votes at
any time. are the other candidates.

of the late Senator B. r. Tillman and
for four terms superintendent of edu-
Gently for the governorship, but re-
considered at the last minute and en-
tered the race for Reelection to his
present ONCE of superintendent of

posed by two women, whose political

taken part in a statewide campaign
IN South Carolina.
Representatives Byrnes and Nc
Swain are without opposition. Other
members of the House have contests
on their hands. but the campaign has
not yet proceeded far enough to in
,dicate the probable defeat of any
one of them. Issues are scarce, the
people are downhearted because Of
probable serious damage to the cotton
crop by the boil weevil. and the cam
paiKn has not yet developed the usual
degree Of public interest. The news
papers Of the state are giving
unusually brief accounts Of the

also bear on the possibility of the
disuse Of the natural tree.
The Yule log succumbed to the
greater attractiveness of the Christ
mas tree. And the Yule log had it's
predecessors in the various celebra-
tions that occurred at the close of the
old and the beginning of the new
year during the first centuries of the
Christian era.
The Christmas tree is believed to be
a German institution, but the Romans
celebrated the birth of Christ about
the middle of the Fourth century by
the display of tree decorations, and in
som sections Of Europe the festival
was observed by the employment of
pyramids decorated with green twigs
and ornaments. Christmas trees should
not be cut except from dense growths
where thinning of young trees can be
made with benefit to the forest. The

In the interest of conservation of the
forests urges the adoption Of artificial
substitutes for trees in the observ-
ances Of the Yule-tide festival.

Human Nature
VS.. the
Christmas Spirit
By Mary Graham Bonner
10, 1922, Western Newspaper Onion.

WE WE'RE full of the Christmas
~ spirit. We were going to be more
kindly, more charitable, more friendly
with the whole world. The Christmas
spirit had penetrated. We could feel
it's warm glow. And SCATTER a glo-
rious Christmas in the old homestead
we were on our way back to the city
where lately u work had taken us.
The travel was heavy, of course,
and we found ourselves waiting at
the end of a long line to get into the
dining car. We waited for an hour by
u watches. We were exhausted from
having stood and from annoyance at
the slowness of others and because we
were very hungry.
Finally the line grew shorter. Soon
our turns would come. But it seemed
not. For those who had gone into the
about it even though their absence
made the waiting line a shorter one.
At last we were at the head Of the
line. 1t had been a long process to
work up to this point and we smiled
at n another.
"Only a moment now and We'll be
eating" we fairly beamed the words.
But again it seemed no so. For
those at the tables were eating and
eating and eating. They would never
finish, it appeared. When they ap-
preached the end of their meal and we
v~,0r hoy,DlnI 81 a.. 40. Il, ,-, 4, -
table we discovered they were taking
their time over their coffee.
How selfish people are" we said to
each other. How much they lack the
unselfish Christmas spirit. 1t means
nothing to them. They know there is
a great line waiting and they don't
hurry in the least. Why. just think of
the length of time we've waited and
there are more to follow US. And yet
those people can be as leisurely as
though they were in their W homes.
It's outrageous. simply outrageous,
how utterly selfish people are.
And you would think at this time Of
the year they'd be a little more
thoughtful"
And TO u exhaustion vas added
the sorrow we felt in the thoughtless-
ness of human nature.
And then-the head waiter sum-
moned US to a table. Two persons had
at last arisen and at last our turns
had actually come.
We sat back and l~uxuriously perused
the menu, Well, we were hungry. We'd
have a good meal!
And we began to order.
and I'm just going to take my
time about it, too" l said. "Just be-
cause people stand there and glare at
US, as though we almost had no right
to be eating our meal, isn't going to
make me hurry"
II should say not" said my COM
panion. "Well take all the time in the
world in spite Of their ugly looks y
1t was some time later that we re-
membered the Christmas spirit we had
been SO full of before!
Human nature VS.. Christmas spir-
It," we said sadly to each other.

A FABLE FOR statesmen

The apple tree holds a fable for
the young salesman. Just as ripe
fruit falls into the hand, so when a
prospect is ripe he may fall for what
the salesman hands him-providing
the salesman is on the spot at the
right time. But if the fruit does not
fall, or is too high on the tree to be
easily reached, the next best thing to
do is to climb. Moreover, handpicked
fruit is always the choicest.
So the moral of this fable is: not to
wait for the fruit to fall, not to wait
for a favorable wind to loosen it, but
to spot the rosy prospects and get
after them.

CHRISTMAS LETTERS

SOMETIMES a letter means
~ more than all the cards and
gifts in the world. Why not send
a Christmas message by letter
this year? A bright holiday seal
stuck at the top will introduce
your remarks in a jolly fashion,
and then you may continue with
whatever you think friendly and
suitable. This is a cheap method
in the actual expenditure OF
money, but a rich outlay Of
thought for those you love.
Have you not discovered that
something somebody does just
for you Is more precious than a
present bought in a hurry?
Christmas letters bring great
Joy. Try some and see!
