_
The State Legislature will assemble
in annual session in Columbia on
January lOfcb. and during this session
a Superintendent of the Penitentiary
will be elected to succeed the present
incumbent, Col. W. A. Xeal. For
this office there are numerous candi
dates, coining from almost every
section of the State, and in the
result of which, this county is
directly and deeply interested: be.
cause, for the first time since 1876,
she will present to the Legislature a
worthy and honored son?one who has
proven true to his State and country
in times of war and peace?for this
position and ask for him the support
of her sister counties.
We have nothing to say against
the other candidates who aspire to
this office. They doubtless are good
and true men and if elected would
prove competent to discharge its
duties with honor and credit, but
we dc contend that when all has
been and can be said in their favor,
they cannot surpass the ciaims of
Col. D. J. Griffith, JLexmgton county's
candidate for State Superintendent
of the Penitentiary.
Col. D. J. Griffith, the present
Senator for Lexington county, was 1
born in Newberry county, near Hele- 1
na. At the tender age of two years !
his parents moved to this county, 1
where be has.ever since resided, and '
by his upright walk, affable manners
and kindness of hand and heart has '
won his way to the love and esteem '
of his fellow citizens. / 1
His early days were spent on the 1
farm, where the foundation of his (
Doble characterwa3 laid and through 1
the privations and struggles and (
hardships incident to" farm life in ?
those days he acquired a business
knowledge which in after years was
destined to crown his undertakings (
with success and marked mm as* a
man among a thousand, and one to
be trusted and in whom the utmost
confidence could be placed. A man
of sound judgment, unsurpassed
business qualifications and fine executive
ability, he is pre-eminently
fitted to discharge the duties of the
office to which the people of this and
other counties desire to have him
elected..
At the breaking out of the civil
war, he williDgly sacrificed himself
and his interest upon the altar of his
State and offered his services in the
defence of the honor and integrity of
bis beloved country and^at the age of
16 years he entered the Confederate
service as a private in company C,
- (Col. W. D. DesSausure's) 15th regiment
S. C-. Ym General Kershaw's
brigade. For conspicious bravery
and gallantry on the battlefield in
the presence of the enemy, he was
elected Lieutenant of bis company
in 1SG2, and was often detailed to :
enmmand different comnanies and
acted as Adjutant in tbe absence of (
the latter. Such was his faithfulness, ^ j
promptness and bravery that when (
^ . the Tth and loth regiments were 2
consolidated, he was appointed Cap- j
tain of his company, in which posi- <
tion he served until, over powered by \
numbers, the stars and bars were ;
furled and the sad words ''Lost ]
Cause'* were written upon the pages (
of history. His men loved him as a t
brother and followed him uncom- ]
plaingly wherever he lead them \
counting no peril too severe, no {
danger too great nor no hardship
too trying when he was in command.
During his military career he
served with great distinction gal- 1
lantry and bravery in the battles of j
Second Manassas, Sharpsburg, Boons- ]
borb, Fredericksburg, Chancellors- j
ville, Gettysburg, Chicamauga, Knox- <
ville. Bean Station, Wilderness, j
Spottyslvania, Cold Harbor, Deep
Bottom, CharlestowD, Strasburg, Ce- ,
dar Creek, Petersburg. Avervsboro
and Bennettsville, in all of which his
fearlessness and brilliant dashes
, claimed the admiring attention of his j '
superior officers. At the battle of ! <
Charlestown his presence of mind and i (
promptness saved the life of Captain ! (
Press Brown, who was engaged in a j
hand to hand encounter with a
Yankee CaptaiD, and captured the
Yankee officer's sword.
When the bloody conflict was over j i
*" j J
Captain Griffith returned to his deso- j 1
late home, made so by the ravages of I ]
war, to again take up the broken j
threads of his private life and with in- j
domitable will, undaunted courage ,
and unflinching energy he resumed his : j
farming operations; but he was not ; {
to remain long in the shades of pri- j ,
vate life. His people had learned to j <
love him and as a token of their love ; (
and confidence and in recognition of j ^
his executive ability, they pressed \ t
him to serve them as Clerk of Court i
- i i
for Lexington couDty. After serving ! :
as such for two years, he was again j ?
nominated by the County Democrat- j
ic Convention for the same office, but j
much to the regret of the people of ?
the entire county, he declined the i
Domination on account of his private
business together with his love for
farm life and resumed his farming
and mercantile businesses at Summit.
He continued in these pursuits
until 18SS, when he was induced
to accept tho cfnee of County
Treasurer in which capacity he satisfactory
served for four terms, being
nominated each time in primary j
elections in which he received about j
3 votes to 1 for bis opponents. In i
1897 be resigned Ibis office to take
bis seat in the State Senate. Tuis j
is the incomparable war and politi- J
cal record of the man whom Lexiog- !
ton county puts forward for tbe j
office of Superintendent of tbe State i
Penitentiary and confidently appeals
to her sister counties for their support
in his behalf.
When enough camps of Confederate
Veterans had been orgauized
in this county to form a regiment
the old gray haired veterans turned
to him for their leader, and he was
practically unanimously elected Colonel
in which capacity he is now serving.
Lexington county has heretofore
asked no favors at the hands of the
State Democratic party. She has
been contented to give handsome
Democratic majorities and has uncomplainingly
given her earnest and
undivided support to the nominees
of that party. She was among me
first of the counties to throw off the
yoke of Radicalism, and thus earned
the name of "The State of Lexinton*',
which name she proudly bears
until this day, and put herself in
in a position to assist other counties
bo redeem themselves. But now the
birae has arrived when, according to
ill the principles of fairness and
justice, she asks*at the hands of the
State Democracy a favor, not as a regard
for what she has done or hopes
to do, but as a fitting recognition of
tier devotion to Democratic principles,
and that favor is the election of
Senator D. J. Griffith as Superinten3ent
of the State Penitentiary, and
n doing this the Legislature will not
)nly honor us but honor the State of
South Carolinas as well.
A small pox epidemic has broken
>ut at Mayesvillo, in Sumter county.
Governor Ellerbe has been notified of
the outbreak and has ordered the
State Board of Health to take
:harge and to use all necessary
neans to stamp out the disease. The
i'ery first step that should be taken
is a means to this end is to isolate
md confine patients and suspects so
is to prevent them from roaming all
)ver creation, carrying the loathsome
lisease on their persons and in their
ilothes and spreading it wherever
they go. This itineracy of persons
iffiicted with contageous diseases is
i fruitful vehicle of conveyance of
the germs of epidemics which contaminates
whole communities, coun
;ies and States, populating the silent
lities of the dead with victims of
:ontagion whose earthly careers have
neen ended frop causes directly traceable,
in many instances, to the criminal
carelessness and supreme indif?erence
of municipal authorities,
nealth officers and physicians.
The Confederate Memorial Tablet
ivas unveiled in Columbia last Monday
evening. This tablet is erected
n honor to the signers of the ordinance
of secession. The ceremonies
of unveiliDg were very impressve
and touching. All the Confederate
Veterans, the Sons and Daugh;ers
of the Confederacy, and the citizens
of Columbia were present. Gen.
M. L. Bonham was the orator of the
nccasion and his remarks were beau:iful,
chaste and eloquent. The tabet
is placed in the State House at
;he entrance of the office of the State
Superintendent of Education.
In every Southern city visited by
President McKinley and party, they
were received with the wildest enihusiasm
and the most generous
hospitality. The barriers of sectionalism
have seeiniDgly been broken
Sown by the President's visit to the
South.

CHRISTMAS.
The origin of the day that Chiist
j mns celebrate in noiy rememurauce
j of the nativity of the man of sorrows
and who was acquainted with
grief, is lost in the musty archives
of impenetrable antiquity. There i3
a wide divergence of opinion among
chronologists and historians as to the
actual time of the advent t:f our
blessed Lord and Saviour into this
sin cursed world; and, indeed, there
was a superstitious dread and unreai
sonable awe on the part of primeval
! man in the early dawn of our Chiisti
ian enlightenment to observe the Da|
tivity of Christ as a church festival,
contending that the feast of
Good Friday and the festivals of
Easter, Ascension and "Whitsuntide
were the only institutions *of this
character which were of Apolistic
origin and warranted by the ordinances
or traditions of the early
Church, and the sanction of the
general council for its observance as
a festal day by tho Church was
"deemed of later origin and lesser
authority,"' and regarded as an innovation
on orthodox Church doctrine,
and these early Christians were slow
to accept the day as one that should
be celebrated with supplication and
prayer to God, the Father for the inestimable
gift of Christ, the Son *8
a mediator and reconciler between the
purity of the one and the sinfulness
of the other. While not so much opposed
to the idea that the natal day
should be fittingly commemorated by
the true believers in and followers of
the King of Kings and Lord of
Lords as the most important event
in the world's history since the creaation
of man, they resisted the early
efforts to make it a Church festival.
After the festival had become a
f xed institution of the then orthodox
Church, there was a considerable
discussion to fix the date on which
the earthly mission of the Prince of
Peace commenced, and the work for
which he left the shining courts of
heaven to pursue his tortuous and
thorny path to physical death that,
though the sufferings and agonies of
that death, the demands of a broken
law might be filled and the wrath of
a justly offended God appeased and
the way opened for a perfect reconciliation
between God and man, was
%
really commenced. There were several
sects in those days, as we learn
from the writings of Clement of
Alexandria, who contended for different
periods of the year. Some
held to Ihe belief that the 20th day
of May was the actual nativity of the
child Jesus, while others were as
equally sincere in their belief that
the 20th or 21st of was the time of !
the advent. Some held to the belief
that the birth and baptism of
Jesus occurred on the same day,
namely, the Gih of January. It was
not until something over 300 years after
the birth of the Saviour, in the
time3 of Julian I, that the Eastern and
Western Churches settled on December
as the day of days, as a "subsitute
to the customs of the various nations
\
* * i i / -i? i f ^_r^
who iiaci ooservoa a iesuvaioi rejoic
ing that the shortest day of the year
had passed, and spanning the great
interval between Whitsuntide of the
one year and Good Friday of the
uext.'" The 2oth of December has
since been observed as the festival
of the nativity of Christ.
It is enough for us to know that in
the fullness of time the infant cries
of the Cnrist-child were first heard
in the mauger at Bethelhem, as foretold
by the Prophets; that the glorious
news of the advent of him who
had come to save the world from sin
was made known by the glorified and
shining messengers of heaven to the
shepperds on Judea's rugged hills,
and it is fully enough for us to know
that he fulfilled all the requirements
of the law; that he won the approval
of the Father in the expression,
' This is my beloved Son in whom I
am well pleased;" that he suffered the
pains of physical death; conquered
death and hell, ascended into heaven
and ever liveth and sitteth on the
right hand of God the Father to
make intercessions for us. In the
days of this Christmas-tide let us
all with grateful hearts for the bestowal
of these unpurchaseable blessi
ings exclaim
' All hail the pover of Jesus' namo,
Let angels prostrate fa!!.
Bring forth the royal diadem.
And crowD him Lord of all."
