Santa Claus has to fill up Mr. Tail s stocking he may be a little slow on his Washington dates. Strange to say, congress has been in session two weeks and, not a case eo far of assault and battery is reported. Can you imagine our ex-president doing anythiug so domesticated as going to New York to buy Christ mas presents? Santa Claus seems to have been the original forest conservator, in substituting the stocking for the Christmas tree. Before intervening in Nicaragua, we must figure that the pensions will cost ten times the original xe pense of the scrap. Mr. Hearst predicts a third party. Onr polkicail h)istoi<y itells of (in numerable sideshows but only two or three real circuses. The fellow that has been lyine alwul Or. Cook and that mountain trip should now make a confession for the good of his soul. Congressman Gardner, insurgent, says tbat although he has sore paws, he will nut lick them in public. A dogged way of looking at it. We j believe that Cook discovered the north pole, it makes no differ enco what the. so-called scientific societies may say about the matter. There is a controversy as to which kind of pork shall be dis tributed by Congress, rivers and har bors or public buildings. The de bate should he in hog latin. Better trade at home! Every time you patronize some dlsctin; mail order house you encourage oth er people to send money to hetn 'be^ big city grow at the expense of the home town. in spite of incessant preaching about buying presents early, the ti dal wave of belated shoppers con tinues to dash itself agalust -.h* store counters with its usual de structive l'ury. This man who says he has run an air ship from Worcester, Mass., to New York and back in the night.' should delay no longer before sub mitting his proofs to the university of CJpehhagen. , Omrr .^.s adjourns December 21 until Jan. 4. If anything has been done in this month but punch in the register in the time clock to show that cngress was there, the country hasn't heard of it. George Gould was iu a railroad wreck on the Southern railroad. If every railroad magnate could be given an object lesson of this kind, railroad travel would become safer for the great unwashed. William Jennings Bryan is too sirrere a Democrat to hobnob with a Republican President to laud any cousin of his in a fat office. Some of Bryan's so-called Democratic traducers can't say as much. Few American editors will appro'j of the Russian government impris oning Tolstoi's publisher. But in view of the coming onslaught of spring poets, there seem *o be re deeming features about despotism. The investigation by the so-called 'scientific socuies of the proof of Peary ami Cook is one of the roar ing farces of the times. They know no wore about the matter than tin editors Of the Augusta Herald and the Newberry Observer. Four of the 12,50? .Southern boy who raised an acre of corn get diplomas from the department of agriculture.

It 'ook.; as if Bill Taft went because he vvuLi-j ed to. ! J If Mr. Taft is depending on The News and Courier to commence the breaking of the solid South by land ing South Carolina in the Republi can column, ho is depending on a broken stick. The News and Cour ier has absolutely no political In fluence in South Carolina above the ten-mile. hill. ! Salaries of Preachers. Recently the editor of the Union Times was talking with one of the country pastors of Union county, who. he says, is a good man, serv ing faithfully as a minister of the Gospel. He is, also, says the editor, a man of ability, industry and pleas ant personality. He serves church es, the aggregate salary from which, amounts to $600. He keeps a horse and buggy. He admit'.ad, when nutpstione 1. that it cost him $ 1 SO a year to feed the horse. In other words, he pays more than 32 per cent, of his entire salary in providing 'the necessary means ?f reaching his work. With the necessities of life 50 per cent higher than they were ten years ago, and with a meagre salary, the country pastor is, to express it mildly, in a very difficult situation. It is almost an impossibility for him to maintain himself and family. It must also be remembered that the pastor is expected to lead in all the benevo lent and missionary contributions. He must dress carefully; he is ex pected to do most of the entertain ing of the visitors that come along jrepoesenting the various interests fostered by his denomination. It is true, these men are making no complaint. They are quietly should ering the heavy burden. With a spirit that is truly heroic they are "serving others." It would be a commendable thing if every country church in the county would raise the pastor's salary at least one-third what it is now. It is a day when the mail of industry and business j is making money, buying lands, im proving his farms and spending mow money upon himself and family thau he use to spend, and he should see to it that the minister of his church is paid a salary on which he can live. The Southern War Cloud. The American people do not get greatly stirred over the row with Zelaya of Nicaragua. The comic farce of South American government has been played a good many years, and the only thing that interests us is the question whether Americans are getting the square deal. It is a shame that these toy republics so throttle their own future by mak ing it next to impossible for Amer ican business men to develop the country. Hut that is their own fu neral. It does not pay In the lone run, either, for Americans trying to do business down there to mix too much in their dirty politics. Such 'nterference involves our govern ment to an extent that does not pay for what there is iu it. It will be a great many years before there will be a stable government in Central and South America. We could main tain it all right, but the tax bill would not be accompanied by cor responding returns. It's all right to overawe the play armies down there by a sight of our war ships and marines. A practice trip in Southern waters will do them as much good as anything else that might take up their attention. But there are ways and ways of spanking tin presidents without going to war about it. Zelaya has stepped down and out, but an example should be made of him as a warning to other tyrants that may attempt to imi tate him. Sunday Sanitary Plan. Newspaper clippings received by Dr. L. W. Dunn of Asheville, N. C, show the thought of the people in both the Carolinas and adjoining States to be strongly in favor of the "Sanitary Sunday plan. This lay of preaching and teaching the tight care of the human body was .suggested "by the Nonth Carolina Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis, of which Dr. Dunn is president. "The pres.- and the pul pit, supplemented by the teacher in the Sunday school and the week-day school, must do a large part of the missionary and educational work which is necessary to rid this city of tuberculosis or consumption. During the last few weeks many of the leading newspapers in the South ern States," according to Dr. Dunn, "have been cordial in their supporr of the plan for Sanitary Sunday and have been intelligently apprecia tive of its real significance. The newspapers in their editorials have shown that the campaign against tuberculosis must largely be foster ed by those agencies which influence the judgment and arouse the con science of the average people. Hence this first step to enlist the active co-operation of the pulpit and the preacher. Help the Good Work. Every club, every society, every lodge, every school, every official, every farmer, every teacher, every mlusteir, every doctor and all other interested persons in the "Palmet to State" are invited to write to Dr. C. P. Williams. Columbia. S. C, offering to help sell the Christmas stamps. These are the little stamps whicb carry a message of Christmas joy. each one of which contributes a cent towards fighting the chief cause of sorrow in all of this Statt;. Every cent paid for a Ohristmas stamp, helps to fight consumption in South Carolina. One of the most scientific men of his day felt called upon to write a hook to prove that the phonograph was a fake, and that it was an utter Impossibility to phonato the human voice. The success of Edison shows j how much this learned scientist knew about the matter. Since then our confidence in so-called sci entists has been badly shaken. i The \\*asliintr:on Hulletion asserts thai Editor .). C. Hemphill, of The News and Courier, "is yearning for an excuse to help send some Taft delegates to the Republican Nat ional convention." This may ac count for the many unkind things said about Bryan In the editorial columns of The News and Courier. CLASSIFIED COLUMN One-half Cent a Word Found Notices Free.
