Sd ,when we check'.Ui everything this Xmas. is -&inist tht samess tb- pistfoifty or eighty that it has been i.g pleasure .to observe and celebrate, though the things that made a boy happy fifty years ago will not make a boy happy today. The old cap pistol and the muzzle lo.,ding gun were all a boy wanted then, but now it would bankrupt Germary if she had no war debts to pay to fu nish enough fire-works to satisfy the kiddies. As we look back over the year that is so fast slipping by we realize that there are many things that we shouhi b'e thankful for. As to myself, 4the chief among them all is that I don't live any closer to Beckham than I do. I never have been ready for Xmas when it comes, and this boy of mir' .~ says that I will not be ready for the Sjudgment when it comes. But thi:s boy is no preacher. However, I do not wish to test the matter now. The Xmas wood has to be hauled and the hogs have to be killed and corn sent to the mill, and a stove put up for the little grand-baby thai is coming, and the kitchen has to be covered to keep the custards fromr 'getting wet, and the old rooster thai . is to impersonate a turkey has to e fattened; andi I rekon that I will have to divide my surplus money with' my darned poor neighbors, and thai will take some time. Oh, I have lots to do before I car sit down in the corner and hold our baby and "chaw" my Red J tobacco. I wish that there were no law breakers in the world and that every body lived in peace and gave their neighbors no trouble. Then I would not have to trudge through the rair to keep cattle and hogs off my oats. It is a pity for good people who never break the laws have to be taxed to pay the expenses of criminal courts -to try people who are never satisfied only when they are hanging around the courts house being prosecuted or persecuted. I wish for everybody a Merry Christmas, and especially our able and much beloved Editor, and each and every one of his correspondent;s And Mr. Editor, when you go to your Xmas dinner let prudence and moder ation be your guide-for you kn~ow that doctor's bills are hard to pay. With best wishes for all of the "Dees-es," I have the honor of sub scribing myself your obedient servant. Ali P.

Christmas is here again and people seem to be getting the Christmas spirit in their bones, especially the children, who are eagerly looking for ward to a visit from ,Santa Claus. Unless he comes by airplane thru this community, I am afraid he will not get here, if he has any kind of a heavy lead, for fhe will be sure to get stuck in mud which at the present time is something terrible. But we are hop ing the weather will take up by the time he makes his visit and the roads! may be a little better.

I want to see women on the penitentiary board. There are men in the penitentiary who ought not to be there, they are not criminals at heart, but what do you do for a man when you put him in the penitentiary? You punish him, but you don't reform, and he comes out a hardened crimi nal. "Out in the so-called wild anel woolly west, they have some regard for the boys and girls. They put their hands in their pockets..and take out money for the education of their chidren. Get busy, women of South Carolina, and tell them that you demand a fair chance for the boys and girls.

Forbes, director f the veterans bureau at Washington before a joint conference of national and state executives of the veterans f foreign wars. ' In the coiference were the members 11I ,f the national council of administra tion 'and the department commanders f the veterans' organization. Immediately following Forbes' ad Irss and a discussion which resultedr In strong approval of a sales tax, the axecutves unanimously adopted a res olution, endorsing a sales tax with foodstuffs exempted, as a means of raising the necessary revenue to fi- j nance the bonus. C. Hamilton Cook, Buffalo, N. Y., t national commander of the Disabled American Veterans 6f the World War, ib who was attending the conference by r Invitation, said his organization would je take immediate steps to support the resolution.
