Christmas Shopping The stores and the banks, the cotton buyers and the keepers of the warehouses, the husbands and their wives, are all busy making arrangements for Christmas in Abbeville. The children during the day are looking up their biggest stockings and stopping all the holes, except the opening at the top. At night their dreams excel in beauty and sweetness, the most charming scenes that could be imagined ol fairy land. And those with hearts of stone, may be seeking to buy their way into heaven by making loud acclaim of their Christmas offerings to the Catholic cbrildren in far off lands, instead of manifesting anxiety about the possibility of gome of our own Christian children hanging up stockings that may be found empty on the natal day of him who loved little children and took them into His arms and blest them. In some of the big cities big hearted men and noble Christian women are al ready beginning to look after the empty stockings. If some of Abbeville's good women would give a thought to this matter there would be no empty stockings on Christmas morn ing' There are plenty of men who would gladly furnish the wherewithal for minis tering agels to bless the wearers of the lit tle empty stockings. A smali toy, a little gift, of any sort, accompanied by. a kind word would make the parents happy In the thought of the kindly remembrance, while it might make a child rich for a whole year. \ If any child is neglected in this Chris tian land, it must be from over-sight and not from a lack on the part of this people of a kindly heart or a generous hand. Be neath many a rough exterior there beat hearts which are warm and true, and which only need to see the opportunity to contribute to the empty stocking which act would maks a childish eye brighter and give to its heart that happiness which could not come to it in after years when the stern realities of maturer years must come to every heart. - Forgetting our own troubles and casting aside our own heartaches, let us try to make the little folk happy while we may. By Sheriff or Mob ? Some people protest against lynching negroes by a mob when the same result could bo so easily obtained by taking the norrrn fn {all onrl nolUnrr nn IKa uvgtv wv JHU UIUU VUVii Vs<&UllJ? VU bUU UUV ernor for a special term of court. The court could then appoint counsel to defend the prisoner, which appointment generally being equivalent to ordering the Sheriff to hang the negro. In case, however, the 'negro in the case should not be found guilty, then ^he Judge ought to lecture the jury for non-performance of duty and then dismiss it. A new trial should be or dered. The new jury should be sworn to convict. Walter Allen it would seem that the State Peniten tiary is little less than a breeding pen for consumption. Walter Allen, of Greenville, has just been paroled from that State in stitution. As his reasons for so doing the Governor says: It would seem from various reports that sentence to the penitentiary only changes the form of death penalty on the gallows to a slower death by consumption in the penitentiary. He Didn't Find It And now it is said that Arctict Explorer Cook is not certain that he found the pole. This reminds us of something that happen ed many years ago on the Savannah side of the county. A neighbor went to Joshua DuBose one night and in great agitation said: "Mr. DuBose, I am afraid I have killed Moses." [Moses was a slave be longing to DuBose.] Mr. DuBose replied: "Mr. Jones, [that was not his name, how ever,] if you are afraid that you have kill ed Moses, I know that you have killed him." If Cook has any doubt about finding the pole, we all know that he never found it. Are They Condemned to Die of Con sumption ? One white man and three negroes from Lexington have just been sentenced to the penitentiary for life. Or,#may it not'be said that they were sentenced to die of consumption ? The Tariff Question to be Definitely Settled. Vffrioua girls, and possibly some boys, in the graded or high school are now writ ing able essays on both sides of the tariff question. These children, no doubt, will prepare papers that will settling the vex ed question. The tariff, like the plan of salvation, is perfectly plain, but there are always some cranks who affect not to see it as their neighbors view it. You must read this If you want the benefit J. W. Greer, Greenwood. La., suffered witb a severe case of lumbago. "The pains were ro intense I was forced to hypodermic injections for relief.
