Congressman Cruinpnckerof Indiana announces that he will again introduce in Congress a bib to reduce the Souths repr?sent?t ion. lie iinds it necessary to do this nt every session, otherwi.se Iiis own obscurity would be complete. Scarcely a day passe? during the hunting season that the news report? do not tell of one or more persona shot for game by careless hunter*, hut sel dom cr never is there any ment ion that the gunners have been arrested. I? it not time to make an example of some of theso people, by way of teaching others to exerei.se :i little prudence? The Georgia Legislature.has at last passed the hill to provide for the main tenance of the Confederate Veterans' Home, and in doing so lia? done a noble and grand act for fie-Veterans of that State. Through the ?'Horts of the lamented Henry Grudy this llotno was built by private subscription pre ceding his death, und now that (In state government has taken control of it the Veterans who nie compelled to I make their homes in the valions ! County Pauper's Homes will he re moved to the State Home und cared foras they should be. We would be more than pleased to see such a Home established in every one of the late Confederate States. A corporat ion has been formed which announces in its prospectus that it will operate a mammoth egg farm on which 150,000 laying hens will be kept. This number will serve merely as a starter. It is further hinted that, whereas or dinary inv. stments cannot be con trolled, the output of the hens may bo counted upon absolutely. We rather think the gentleman who prepared the prospectus has never hud much expe rience with a certain class of hens which, perhaps because of some organi zation among their feathered eompn tiiots, go out on strike, so to speak, and stiiy out for months at a time, in spite of the most seductive blandish ments of their owner. Judge Thomas Ii. Priiscr died at his home in Suinter last week, after n brief illness, in the 75th year of his age. lie was a native of Suinter County, was admitted to the bar in 1847, served four terms in the Legislature, was n staff otlicer under Kershaw and Blnndiug in the Civil War, was chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee of his County for a number of years, and is said to have first suggested Gen. Hampton for Governor iu 1870. In 1878 ho was elected Judge of the Third Circuit, which position ho nbly filled until 1804. He was a member of the Constitutional Convention in 1805, and was made chairman of one its most im portant Committees. South Carolina never produced nn abler jurist or a more patriotic citizen, and the entiro State mourns his denth. The Census Department in Wash ington has issued the bulletin for the towns in South Carolina that havo a population of over 2,000. Thero oro now twenty-three towns of over 2,000 population against seventeen in 1800, and that is not counting unincorpora ted towns like Piedmont, l'elzer and other mill towns, of which there are at least ten or twelve. Some of these in corporated towns have grown very rapidly. Anderson has a population of 5,408 ngaiiiBt M,018 in 1300; a gain of 2,480, or 82.3per cent. It wns generally believed that we would reach at least 0,000, but our people are satisfied wi*h the showing we make. Anderson's limits aro only one niilo in circumfer ence, and does not include the Orr Mill, the Cox Mill, tho Riverside Man ufacturing Co. or tho Anderson Fertiu eer Factory, all of which are in our suburbs, With our limits extended one-half mile each way we would easily show a population of nino or ton thousand. Tho present census puts Anderson tho sixth towu in the Stot as to population, and in the census of 1010 we will move n few points higher. Wo have a good solid town and a live, progressive County to back us. Christmas is only a few days off, which makes us conscious that another year has passed awoy. It seems but a short timo ago when wo wore all enjoy ing the Christmas festivities of '00. Wo should all seriously nsk ourselves the question whether, during tho past year, our lives have been emulative Of. the puro character of Him in whoso honor Christmas day has been set apart to briuj? gifts to Him as tho Saviour of the world. Christmas day is a day of giving, and it is our duty to givo such gifts and for such purposes as was tho original intention. The popular idea now with many pcoplo is that it is a day set apart for carousals, horse racing, etc. The great fundamental idea that wo should all rejoice and bring gifts because a "Saviour has been born" has been forgotten. Be cause the "Star of Bethlehem" no lon ger shines in tho East, tho original intention of bringing gifts is about obsolete. How much more acceptable to the "Son of man" would be tue pure gift of a noble and exalted life, whose mission is to do good, to elevate man kind and to strengthen His Kingdom upon earth. Tho keynote of Christmas joy is "Peace on earth, gond will to men." The first Christmas day that over dawne? brought rejoicing in its wake. On that day there was born in Bethlehem a Saviour, who is Chrbt the Lord. For thoso weary with M'n, for thoso oppressed with sorrows, fur the troubled in mind, for tho weak and / helpless He came, lint not to those alone. To the joy lui and happy ones, to those rich in this world's goods, to the successful nud prosperous 11?- came. To the whole world He appeared. None was forgotten by him. And now to the outcast and to the weary one, to tho rich man and to the joyful child He say3 tho words, "Learn of mo." On Christinas day at least "let ?11 wrath and clamor anil evil speaking be done away,'1 and let every ono sing, with the heart, "Glory to God in the highest." Denver Steins. MissMattie Eskew gave a musicale on tin? evening of tho 15th, which was greatly enjoyed by the ciowd of young people, who were present.
