Gilbert Items. . j Christmas has been very good. Everybody seemed to have enjoyed themselves. The Xmas tree given by the Lite- ! rary Societies of the Academy was a grand success?heavily laden w:th ; costly presents.* The building hod been neatly decorated with evergreeo , and lighted by pretty little Japanese j lanters. The exercises gotten up for tbe occasion reflected much credit on the youthful performers, both in * music and speeches. Among the ! many visitors at the tree the pres- j ence of Rev. Wessinger was noted. He opened .the exercises with a most earnest prayer. Messrs. Thomas and Hawee, of New Jersey, and Mr. Darby, of Maryland, are now taking a pleasure hunt around Gilbert. They are very clever gentlemen and are lodging with our jovial mail carrier, Mr. R A. Barr. Miss Cora Balleniine and brother, Mr. Heber, visited friends here yesterday and last night. Messrs. John and Wood Inwmar, of Baxter, Irenius and Lawson Warner, of Adair, were also among friends here last night. Messrs. Kirk and Archie Djnly, sons of Mr. W. H. Donly, are spending the holidays under the parental roof, after which they will return to Wofford to continue their studies. Our merchants are well pleaeed with the extensive trade they have been haying. S. December 26,1905. Batist Zaas Tide. The Baptist Sunday school cf this place held its Xooas tree exercises in Boot's Hall on Xmas night of this week. The program was most interesting, and the happy faces of tfte little ones as they walked forward to receive the presents of Old Santa Clans, made one feel that there is yet much real good in this old world. Their happiness was contagious, and not a person in the large audience ; went away without reeling better, : happier and more content with life ! and its responsibilities. The exer cises were first class, and all the iit- | tie performers did their parts exceedingly well, and reflected credit alike j upon themselves and their wcrthv and painstaking superintendent, Cipi.

Last year Mr. Wingard won the j declaimed medal, and be has the i credit of being a close student of the societie's work. He is bright and will make a useful man. Russian's Troubles. Russia is on the brink of Civil War. The 6trike which has been going on in a desultory kind of way for weeks has at last taken in the proportioned of an around rebellion The very government its self is threatened and nothing but the most radical concessions from the govercnnAnf frv r<?T7r?lnfrinniafn r?an cnun luuuu vi/ va4v aviv/?mv*s/m?wvw ? v the throne to the man who now wears it. The workmen are being joined by the soldiers, who ordinarialy are the support of the government and these with a vast public opinion in favor of radical changes, make the situation the most critical in the history of the Empire. The situation grows more serious each hour. Already the losses resulting from riots, reaches over five hundred killed and wounded and the fever of rebellion is breaking out in new quarters each day. Civil war seems j to be imminent and bloody revolu- ! tion raises its bead and promises i the destruction of an Empire. Xmas at Nation's Capital.

Governor Heyward his been appealed to to prevent a big cock fight near Rock Hill, which was scheduled to take place this week. The Gov- j ernor does cot have the power to I interfere in such matters so long as j the local authorities can handled it. and hence be wired the sheriff cf the county to make every effort to prevent the fight. The law imposes a fine of $100 or imprisonment not exceeding thiity days for every one adjudged guilty of this offense, and we trust that, in I the interest of decency and id the j prevention of cruelty, the law may be severly and rigorously enforced.
