Ed?ef ield Advertiser J. L. BUMS, - - - EDITOR. WEDNESDAY DEC 31, 1902. - Murder and Lynching. On Saturday afternoon last Mr. William Jay, a prominent farmer, was brutally murdered at Jus home near Troy, in Greenwood county, by a ne gro tenant and his wife. As soon as the citizens of the community learned of the at rocious . crime ty?Arsb??i for the assassins who were caught and made partial con fessions of their guilt. They j were summarily shot to death by scores, of enraged citizens at Winterseat bridge overl Hard Labor creek, very near] the same spot where seven negroes were killed fdr the murder of Mr. and Mrs. Har mon in'1876. s _____ Orphans Made Happy* : An act worthy of all com-j mendation was that of Mr. ? R. Goodwyn Rhett, the chiefest among Charleston's bankers! and one of the J. P.Morgan's] of the south, in throwing open thc doors of his palatial resi- j dence to the 229 inmates of the Charleston orphan nous*, bidding them come in and . partake of the Christmas tree that he and Mrs Rhett had prepared for them. Mr. Rhett, as lawyer, banker, politician . (not of the vulgar type, how ever) has as great demand j upon his time as possibly an]r j other man in the state yet he counted it joy to lay aside all in order to brighten the lives of these homeless and father less little ones. Althoush pres ident of one of the largest banks in the state and aspiring . to the exalted position ?Tmay or of Charleston^' hethought himself not too great to play Santa Claus for the delecta tion, of the orphans. "In as 5 much as ye have done it unto 'the least of these my" breth- j ren, ye have done it unto me.5 To be a truly great man in this world* does not consist; merely in the possession of wealth, or in occupying an exalted position, or being clad in costly apparel stalking the earth with a pompoWair.Only the .magnanimous . are truly great. If one wqiild be ex ??ed at the final df.y let him ^P^:-himself arid seek to Bead lise Cemmanleatioa. We direct the attention of : the fathers and mothers 0 Edgefield to the timely and ; admirably written communi cation,signed "Parent,''which appears elsewhere in this is sue. It i? .not our purpose tQ discuss vin t?f?s connection the merits\or demerits of dan - cing, but, as the subject has been broached, wc do assert that the excessive dissipation incident to many of the public dances, notably the lateness ' of the hour of leaving the dance hall-4 o'clock a. rn. is indiscreet and improper and ? it behooves the parents of Edge fi eld, who alone can do it. to restrict the participants in these functions to the ob servance of more reasonable . hours. ; Theres is not a home in . Edgefield whose parlor would be thrown open to our young people to engage in the dance till the 4 o'clock hour. It would be considered improp er, out of taste. If this un seemly hour is improper or _out of taste in the home r should it not be considered all the more improper in the pub- ! lie hall where more license | or latitude is permitted and where, too, possibly some participate "who would not be invited to tne private home ? . We are not disposed to up braid those whose views may not coincide with ours wc respect their opinions but we confidently believe that such immoderate and ex cessive social indulgence* is demoralizing and baneful in its tendency, conducing not infrequently to spiritual ruin, physical wreck, social ostra cism . Shakespeare truly said, "Violent delights have violent ends, and in their triumph die ; like fire and gunpowder, which.as they kiss, consume." Some parents of our town who have promising sons and queenly^ daughters will yet, we apprehend, find ithem selves in the "gall of bitter ness" because they kept not their children from the "bonds &f iniquity." ba] ai 1 i tr ti tr P< ee E fe G.

Nineteen mil lions hts been raised and a millionaire, whose name has not yet been announced, has promised one million. Rainsford for Speaker. A Speaker of the House will have to be elected when the legislature convenes cn Tuesday, the 13th proximo. There are three candidates for 't&? -^Dlace, Representatives Smith, of Kerenawy J&ttUAWf, of Lancaster, and our own Tho?. H. Rainsford. Mr. Rainstord would make an ad mirable presiding officer, rui ing impartially and conducting the business with dispatch and we trust that when the election is held he will be chosen. CLARK'S HILL Tus ADVIRTISI*: As it is Christmas time I fear my letter will be late, but hope not. Everything is very quiet here for the Christmas season. One can hardly realize that it is Christmas. A fine Christmas tree was given at the hospitable home of Mr and Mrs J A Butler. It was enjoyed by both old and young. "Old Santy" had a present for all. After the presents were distributed, games were enjoyed by the young people, then music by Miss Myra Butler, Old "San dy" then left, carrying his tree with him. He said that he had to go three thousand miles by half past seven." Cadet W O Scott, of Clem son, is at home enjoying the holidays, and it seems that he is having a gay time A pound party was given at the home of Mr and Mrs J L Crafton, of Morgana, last Tuesday night. Music was furnished by Mr Joe Morris, of Augusta ; Mrs Emily Meriwether has been very sick " for several days, but is now much better. We are having some very cold weather, with plenty of frost and ice. Some snow fell Friday. Mr J B McKie is spending Christmas week with his family in Edgefield. Some of our boys intended Wish the ADVERTISER a happy New Year. INCOGNITOS. Christmas Tree at Mill Chapel. The Christmas tree that was provided by the Sunday" school for the little folks of the mill was hel l in the chapel on Saturday night last. It waa an ideal occasion. The room was well heated, well lighted and well filled with bright ind happy little ones, smiling lads ind lasses and grown people whose faces indicated that they entered into tho spirit of the occasion. The, tree a beautiful bolly, was 1er len wit* presents for all ages. The Sunday school had provided for the little ones, and friends of nany of the older people bad pro dded suitable gifts for them. The ?resents were taken from tn? tree md distributed by Mesar?. Thomas tarn and y ethe w Howard. The ormer in cornie dress pe; Donated Irs. Santa Claus and the latter epresenting old man Santa. The lownish costumes, tricks and an ios of these two heightened the air th of the occasion. The whole chame or programme was carried ut without a hitch or a ripple to lar the occasion. We commend lost heartily the officers of the unday school for providing this olightful occasion for the little oes. May this Sunday school row and prosper as never before. [any Happy Hearts. Tbe most delightful occasion for te children of Edgefield during ie holidays was the Christmas ee reception.gi ven for the young ?opie by their little friends, Eil n, William, Peicy, Watson and di th Ouzts. Ono of the pleasnt atures of the afternoon was sorge Wash ington's oherr.v tree j which each child^blind folded i*d to pin the hatchet in the cen 9 of the tree. ' A prise was given ? e two who came nearest the al. The most enjoyabli tim? we ver wai the hom for the first (ht of the Christmas tree, wheo i Santa Claus made his appear ce, and did the honors of the or. sion, with an adeptness which s real Santa Cllau.i himself old not have surpassed, If ra tion of office is ever in order th the old gentleman, his mau should fall on the shoulders of es Watson, Remember this ildren and let him ree how good 0 can be DOW, before bis official we are donned.
