( Christmas, toe natal day of the Saviour of the world, has come agaio, briDgiDg with it the season oi joyous festivities and the glandsome tune of good cheer, the yuie iog, the mistletoe and the holly berry. Siuce the time when the angelic m j host announced with great re joiciDg, to the startled shepards on Jude&'e rugged bills, while heaven resounded with hallotiah9 of praise, that the fulloess of time had come, and that uoto you is born this day in the City 1 of Divid, a Ssviour, which is Christ the Lord, the celebration of the Cori-tuias festival is regarded with 1 peculiar interest by Christians of 1 every came and every denomination. 1 To them ic means the time when ] h >pe cf the glories of God dawned upon the wurld which was spiritually dead by reason of a want of faith 1 i j the existence of a Supreme Being who ruled the heavens and earth as ( to him seemeth b^st By the birth of - the Child JesH?, the rites and ceremonies and the habits and customs of , the Jews under the Mosa c dispensation were to be done away with sud all outward religious forms and and ceremines, in so far as to their beiug the only approach to God by fc'.s children cn earth were no long?r to be essential to salvstior. Bebold, old things were to pass away and all things were to b?cooie new. The veil of the temple was to be rent asunder and man was to hereift.er hold sweet communion with God through fhs medium of Faith. In it any wonder then th-tt to the Christie n pilgrim as be journeys from earth to heaven beholds the Star of Bethlehem which hung like a b^con star of hope over the Child sweetly sleeping in the lowly imng*r. with rapturous wonder and unutterable reverence. To him this is the day of all days and in sacred remembrance of the momentous incidents transpiring in the City of David centurie3 ago keep the day in a manner befitting the memory of the Prince of Peace and the Lord of LtcIS. But man, in his unregenerate state, has made it a day of the wildest extravagance Forgetting the hallowed memories which cluster around the day like holy incense, their only conception of the manner in which the day should be observed is to see which can make the biggest hog of himself. Too many spend the day in drunken caro>a's and midnight orgies tending todebise rather thau ele-vate and ennoble fallen humanity. L?t us see to it that each one of us spend this day as God would have us and it is certain that we will spend jt right. The question of compulsory educition will be discussed by the Leg- | islature at its next session. . This { is one of iiie 1 faints that is like a two-edged sword?it cuts both ways, and should be handled gingerly by the members Without going into the merits of the question, we are of the opinion that the people are not 1 well enough informed on this subject at this time to come to a decis- 1 sion, and for this reason the measure should be defeated. The Spartanburg Journal is au- i i * i i- < thoritv for the statement mat mere is another fake of ihs endless chain 1 variety. This time the headquarters of the concern is alleged to be in Columbia, aud the promoters pro- i pose to deal extensively in ro6e bushes. The circulars are couched in the usual language to catch the gullible. The resources of diplomacy have been exhausted in the effort to settle the dispute between Chile and Argentina, and diplomatic relations have been broken off through the withdrawal from Chile of the Argentine minister. Both governments have agreed to submit their differences to arbitration aud have asked the good r.-fficers of King Edward cf Eagland to meditate. Secretary Long has affirmed the findings of the majority of the Schley court of inqury. He has refused to reopen the case and has dissolved the court. A congressional investigation will likelv follow and then civil pro I ceedings will be instituted. The resignation of Manly, the so-called historian has been called for and if not sent, he will be removed. Hugh McE'.rone, a centenarian of Columbia, died in that city Friday. His was a remarkable life in that be lived to the age of 103 years and that he lived in three centuries having been born on November 2,1798 and died December 20th, 1001. iu memoriam of him the city bell was struck 103 times?once for each year of his life. Admiral Sampson's lawyers have filed a protest with 'Secretary L^ng gainst the findings of Admiral rx A.1? ei l .x L/-}wey : me ouuiey court ui iuijuhj Lemly and Hanna have also filed their report on the bill of exceptions made by Schley's counsel, in which they claim there is no reason for reopeniDg the case. It is rumored that Secretary Gage will resign the Treasurer Portfolio as soon as President Roosevelt can find an acceptable person as his successor. The Sunny South has been in the grip of the ice king and great damage to life and property has been dnrfl Ktt liia rnlo l?V'U v WJ Mk J * The Hay-Pauuceforte canal treaty has been ratified by the Senate by the decisive vote of 72 to 6. The liberty bell will arrive iD Charleston from Pniladelphia on January 9th. Exposure to Wet, Dampness and cold, invariably results in a sudden chill, which if not attended to immediately will cause a cold. By mixing a teaspoonful of Perry Davis' Painkiller in half a glass of warm water or milk, the whole system will be heated and the danger of cold avoided. Avoid sub st.itutes, there is but one Painkiller, Perry Davis'. Price 25c. and 50c. _____ Obituaries. Essie Oxeda Hallmax was born April 19th, 1900, and died December 8th, 1901, making her stay on earth one year, 7 months and 19 days. This 6weet little girl had such a sweet and loving disposition about it that it drew forth the love and admiration of its parents which was wonderful to behold. But sorrow not, fond parents, as those who have no hope, but rejoice that your sweet hftha lives forever. She was laid to rest in the family graveyard in the midst of sorrowing relations and friends. "Go to thy rest, my child, Go to thy dream less bed. Gentle and nndefiled, With blessings on they head. Because thy smile was fair. Thy lips and eyes so bright; Because thy cradle?care, Was such a fond delight. A. R. T. Martha Elizabeth Lever was born to Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Lever in Lexincrtrvn r.nunfcv. S. C..

''Mafctie" as Ehe was called, was a great care to ber parents, all of which was tenderly and lovingly bestowed. Bat she has now been transferred to that brighter and better land where a kind heavenly Father will heal all her diseases and admit her into his own immediate fold. We laid her to rest in Shady Grove cemetery while we sang her favorite hymn: "There is a liappy land. Far. Inr away Where saints in glory stand, Bright, bright as day." S. C. B. ? Wood was in demand Thursday. Judicial Vacancies. Some very important elections will be bad by the Legislature. AmoDgst others the judicial elections will probably create the greatest interest. There are several euch positions to be filled. The term of Associate Justice Jones, will expire and a successor will be chosen to succeed him. j Judge Jones will have no opposition and will likely be uoanimouhly reelected. The following Circuit Judges will also have their terms to expire at the end of the year: Buchanan, B-ntt, Watts, Aldricb, Gage and Klugb. The first two will not stand for reelection, and there are many lawyers in their respective circuits who would not mind being selected. So far as known none of the other Circuit Judges will have opposition. Dr. Bull's Baby Syrup for Teething Babies. Price, 10 cts. Cures Wind-Colic. Dysentery, GripiDg Pains, Sour Sromacb. F'-'ver.

Washington, December 21?President Roosevelt while walking in Massachusetts avenue on Thursday evening was approached by a stranger who laid his hand on his shoulder. The President is )eported to have felled the man with his fist and passed on with his friends. Secret ser vice police deny any knowledge ol the incident.

J. E. Steele. Stop.the Blight r It is a sad thing to see fine fruit trees spoiled by the blight. You can always tell them from the rest. They never do weil afterwards but stay small and J sickly. It is worse to see a blight strike children. Good health is the natural right of children. But some of them don't get their rights. While the rest grow big and strong one stays small and weak. Scott's Emulsion can stop that blight. There is no reason why such a child should stay small. Scott's Emulsion is a medicine with lots of strength in it?the kind of strength that makes things grow. Scott's Emulsion makes children grow, makes them cat, makes them sleep, makes them play. Give the weak child a chance.
