Strange to say, congress has been
in session two weeks and, not a

reported.
Can you imagine our ex-president
doing anythiug so domesticated as
going to New York to buy Christ

Santa Claus seems to have been

substituting the stocking for the
Christmas tree.
Before intervening in Nicaragua,

The fellow that has been lyine

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

societies may say about the matter.
There is a controversy as to
which kind of pork shall be dis

George Gould was iu a railroad

If every railroad magnate could be
given an object lesson of this kind,
railroad travel would become safer

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

view of the coming onslaught of
spring poets, there seem *o be re

The investigation by the so-called
'scientific socuies of the proof of

If Mr. Taft is depending on The
News and Courier to commence the
breaking of the solid South by land

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.

The \\*asliintr:on Hulletion asserts
