E. 1. AULL. EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New berry, S. C.. as second class matter. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 23. Presi,dential Timber. Now that the smoke of political battle has rolled away and things have settled down to their accus tomed quiet, it is found that the re cent "landslide," "tidal wave," "dis astrous defeat," etc., etc., before which the democratic party went down in November was not so veryl "disastrous" after all. In the words of the Literary Digest, "a luxuriant growth of democratic presidential timber was seen rising majestically above the waters of the republican deluge." Prospects are not nearly so sombre as many good democrats at first believed. Five sta,es which choose Roosevelt electors were cap tured by democratic candidates for governor, a result that even at the time startled the newspapers and set them talking about the causes of this interesting result. In Massachu setts 'William L. Douglass, despite a Roosevelt plurality of 86,ooo, rolled up a plurality of 37,000 for himself; in Missouri, Joseph W. Folk, stands almost, if not entirely, alone among the democratic candidates of that state as victor; in Minnesota, John A. Johnson, by reason of a campaign slander directed against him, but which operated, in boomerang fash ion upon his opponents, wo% a vic tory in an election in which every other candidate of his party went down in defeat; in Colorada, Alva Adams defeated Governor Peabody, whose handling of the recent strike troubles brought him into national prominence: and in Montana Gov ernor Joseph K. Toole was return ed in an election that gave Roosevelt a substantial margin. Governor Garvin, of Rhode Island, whose elec tion and re-election in a republican state have brought him into promi nence, was defeated this year by a plurality of 6oo. "Newberry Has Electric Lights." The'. Pickens Sentine-Journal in forms its readers, in a recent news f!4ante,. that "Newbetry has electric lights.' Quite correct.'. We've had 'em for the last twenty years or so. There . nothin~g like keeping abreast of the news of the day. * The editor of the Rock Hill Ricord is desirous of "swapping a first class refrigerator for dry pine wood." We would like to make a trade with him -about the middle of next July. The newspapers are literally filled * up with advice to the farmers to hold their cotton. Many of the articles emanate .from experienced and trust worthy men, southerners who have the interest of the south at heart, and the arguments advanced, backed by figures, are strong. What about the alleged promise of President Roosev.elt to visit Georgia and outline his negro policy in a speech for the benefit of the misun derstanding south? The Newberry Evening Telegram, one of the brightest and best of the afternoon dailies in the state, has been forced to suspend for lack of patronage. We shall miss its visits, as Editor E. H. Aull was giving his city a paper worthy of generous sup port.--The Sumter Herald. Large Hog. Rock Hill Record. To Andrew Hall, colored, a black smith in the employ of J. M. McFad den, must be awarded the distinction of being the premier hog raiser of this section. He recently killed a porker that was the largest ever seen in this community-so large, in fact, that the oldest inhabitants thought it wise not to mention others that they had seen in by gone days and in com munities far away. The huge creature was exhibited on the streets Tuesday morning be fore it was killed. The scales show ed a weight of 693. Much larger hogs have been raised, but it is a rare thing nowadays to see one of SUNDAY IN THE CHURCHES.

This is the happiest heart in the prt)mise of God. v xirtue of His mediatorial king shipl he entrus:s every one of His people with "talents" to be employed in the positions in which he has plac ed them. In recognition of this fact that their talents are thus en trusted, His loyal subjects faithfully render service of the same nature as His was while He tabernacled in the flesh. Even when their service re quires self-denial and overbearing. they are actuated by the same mo tives with which He was animated. On this anniversary of his birth let us get clearer conceptions of his character and work as inspiration to greater activity in His service and a broader basis for the hope of heaven.
