"In men whom men condemn as ill, I find so much of goodness still;0 Inmen whom MEN pronounce divine, I find so much of sin and blot? I hesitate to draw the line Between the two?where God has not." THURSDAY. JAN. 9.1913. ? . . ? A woman's just cause is often "just because". During the entire year of 1H12 'only one white man, Samuel Hyde, of Anderson county, paid the death penalty for murder. Probably he would have gotten off, too, but for the fact that he not only \ made no effort to save himself. l -x -? ftr arl_ OUt, Oil Hie vuiiiiai^, ntvjj niittecl hits guilt and actually . begged to expiate his crime in the electric chair. With sincere regret we learn of the death of Editor J M McXaull.of the Winnsboro News and Herald, which sad event' occurred Tuesday night, December 24, after an'illness of ten days of pneumonia Although comparatively a new recruit to the ranks of newspaperdom, Mr McXaull had sh vn lx>th energy and ability arid the improvement in every department of the News and ' Herald was st 'ikingly noticeable under his management. The attorneys of T U Vaughn, the former superintendent of the Odd Fellows' orphanage at Green ville.who by his own confession was guilty of shocking immoralities , while in charge of the orphans' 1 home, have appealed for a new trial J for their client. To read the "ex ceptions" on which the plea is y 'v based one not familiar with the 1 circumstances of the case might be 1 led to suppose that the little orphan ^ ? girls had seduced the pure and immaculate Mr Vaughn. # A Pleasant Entertainment. 1 On Thursday evening, January 2, ( Miss Carrie Scott entertained some f of the young folk of the town with . an "At Home" given at the resi- j dence of her aunt, Mrs M F Heller, in Academy street. The lower floor was most tastefully decorated with j holly, smilax and the new year bells. The evening was spent mosjl pleas- ^ antly in music, laughter, small talk and a "riddle contest". Miss Re- f becca Nettles and Mr Robert Kirk, J ' Jr.won the prizes. Before the "hour \ of departure the guests were ushered into the dining-hall,where a dainty course of sweets was served.

Dulles for the New Year* Jditor County Record:? Our duty to cur Maker and our ?llow-inan? "Blest be the tie that binds Our hearts in Christian love, The fellowship of kindred minds Is like to that above." # The new year has come, bright nd beautiful, and may the Sun of ighteousaess shed abroad His light pon us and grant that 1913 may be year blessed to us with good joughts and deeds. This article is i forgiveness and giving. How ;glectful are we in obeying the >mmands of our Creator! Satan ie3 to keep us from seeing our mdition and, alas! succeeds too ofin and lulls us into a state of selrity, whereas, if we could .see ourlves as we really are, we would ideavor to arouse ourselves from lr lethargy. We sometimes seem to follow the ecepts of the dark ages, "an eye ir an eye and a tooth for a tooth.,' lere are some churches in our land | whirK snmp nf thp mpirihers are i much at variance that they have riously injured the church. I link it would be far better to let ir grievances be passed over rather an that they should reflect on the lurch. If we would view these matrs in the light, of eternity they ould appear trivial indeed. It rely makes very little difference what said about us so long as we our- ' Ives are living such lives as we e not afraid for the bright sun to ine upon. It does seem wonderful ' at we, called after the name of irist, and even taking the holy sacment, can harbor such feelings in I ir hearts towards our felbw-man. 1 le religion which we. profess to llow is not strife and confusion, it peace and joy. Even Abraham, avid, Peter and Paul had many ults, and we must not therefore hasty in judging our neighbor. Can we blame the world for offing at the church? Far better J auld it be to remove our names om the church book than to bring * i j shame upon it; erase our names from the roll if we will not erase envying, jealousy, backbiting from our hearts and tongues. A certain gentleman,high'in church and State, ViorJ onirr-jvorl in tho woodwork of ... _ the table at which he sat to transact business the words: "Speak not evil of tne absent." We often hear, "I don't speak to this one or that one." Let us look at these things as they are reflected from eternity's light and from "beyond the sunset's radiant glow." Really the prize which we would all like to receive is worth too much to be thus lightly set aside. "And hereby we do know Him, if we keep His commandments,"?I John ii, 3, I will now proceed to write about giving, or expressing it in the exact meaning, in a |mall way returning what has been so lavishly poured out upon us. The Jews in ancient times gave a tenth of their posses [ sions to the Lord, and I believe a Rood many Christians in our times keep up that practice, but some of our people seem to think it a great hardship to give of their means to the church. Before going any further let us imiflress this upon our minds, that "the earth is the Lord's and the fullness * thereof," and that Christ loves the church and gave Himself for it. We are admonished throughout the Bible to give liberally, and I think where there is a dearth of giving there is a dearth of religion. It has-pleased Him to ac* cept our offerings as a part of our worship, and we should feel it to lie a privilege indeed that He lets us help to extend His kingdom on earth. The influence of" the church is so I far-reaching in its inspiring and civilizing power for good that we should consider it not only a duty but an honor to contribute to its support.

Think of the missionaries in those far-off lands,who have done so much towards giving them the light of civilization. Think of Japan, China and other countries. Can we find better examples of the work of the church? "Honor the Lord with thy substance and with the first fruits of thine increase."?Frov 111, y. A Citizen of Williamsburg. \ Reward Ottered!
