THE CHRISTMAS MESSAGE.
The Christmas message to the
world, above all others the sweetest,
and among all the most important
and most practical, is (he message of
peace; ti<>( only of that peace bottween
man and his God, of which the
theologian speaks, but peace between
man and man, peace among the nations'.
Ho. whose birthday is celebrated
at ('hrjstmas, is preeminently Prince
of Peace, and it is a wondrotisly
(significant fact of history that I ho
angels' song of "Peace mi earth"
perfectly described 'lie condition of
the world ;ii the time of I lis coining'.
Then over nil the earth was pence.
I lie vales ol tlii* temple of danus, ;it
Koine, were (dosed, there being as lire
l'.ni|tire supposed no need of the presence
of their god to lead their conquering
armies in victorious battle.
" No roar of bat l le sound
Was heard the world around,
The idle spear and shield were high
uphung,
The hooked chariot stood
Unstained with hostile blood,
1 he trumpet spake not to the arme 1
throng,
And kings sat still, with awful "eye,
As if they surely knew
Their sovran Ivord was by;
And peaceful was the. night
Wherein the Prince of Light
His reign of peace upon 111-.' earth began.
As then, so at this Christmastide,
there is peace among (he nations. Nowhere
in all the earth arc nations as
nations eugaired in warfare. In tin*
year l!)(N), Minister Wn, of China,
made an address in New Lock. o:i
Confucianism, in which he declared
that the principles of peace enunciated
by the Pounder of the Christian
tclivien are visionary and impossible
of attainment. Tims,-, to whom that
old. old ( hrist imis story is not a invlli,
but th grandest event in (he worl l's
bi<t?,rv. do not believe that these
princip es are "impossible of attainment."
Once war and compiest was
the tidiest ambition ;.j' the nations.
Now. wherever men have heard the
I hi i-1 mas luessnyv, <var is no longer
the ruling passion. Where men have
Mi the power <?I" the Prince of
Peace, there is n<i longer war fo:*
wm; s sake. I'oday, a state of war is
the exception ami no| |!i.? rule. AI.mi
Ihink of armies ami the. horrors of
war with dread. Loud c ami louder
grows the demand for peaceful arbi'. a'io.!

The 1 Tern Id and News has thought
it would be fitting to appropriate Ibis
Christ ma s message with the proper
acknowledgment, of course, to I ii)e
author and thus give its readers a
Christmas greeting from one who is
remembered and loved by many of
our readers.
"Peace on earth" is the pean
which should resound throughout t'lic
world at this happy season. Not only
peace among the nations but peace
among individuals.
The Herald au l News extends the
compliments of the season to all of
its readers and wishes (hat there may
be peace and happiness around all
their firesides.

SOME OBSERVATIONS.
A lew observations on a recent trip
to Washington may not be uninteresting
to ||,(. readers of The Herald
and News. It was purely a business
trip and necessarily very hurried. II
might be said in the beginning, also,
t'hat it was without political significance
a<ud with :io purpose or desire
!o secure poitical oltiee of any kind.
^ W e tra\ el Ted over the Southern.
I' rom Newberry we had the pleasure
of the company of Mr, Rdwiii C.
Ifa.y, ol New \ ork, who had been on
a visi: to friends i.i Newberry, and
at Columbia we were joined by Cenei.il
\\ ilie .Jones, who was going to
New York to attend a meeting of the
lioard of directors of Olvmpia
cotton mills.
The Southern put us into Charlotte
practically on time. From Charlotte
to Washington the train was delayel
and when we reached Washington it
was nearly three hours late. The
same idling was true on the return
trip and we reached Charlotte some
''" n- hours late. This train is known
as (he fast mail and express and since
the railroad war with I'he stale in
North Carolina and Yiringia as to
passenger rates it has been required
to do local work from Chariot te to
Danville and the loeal train lias
been discontinued. A sa result it is
usually from !w0 to three hours lata.
I pon arrival in Washington we
sought the residence of Congressman
Lever and spent our time principally
wilh hi in. He is a busy and a very
active member of congress from this
stale and has been very highly complimented
in being selected to lead
I nc light in the house for I'he Appalachian
Forest Reserve. Mr. Lever
lives a quiet home life, having rooms
iear the Capitol with a private family.
lie savs lie finds more time to
devot,. to his duties than he woul 1
have il lie lived in M hotei.
lieing a member of the committee
on agriculture he has been able to
do a great deal for his district and
for the stale in having experimental
and demo istration work done for the
henelM of the farmers.
I did not get to see all of our con..ltssnien.
but I met Congressman
Aiken, ol c> urse. from our district
ami had the pleasure of his company
along with Congressman Patterson
on the return trip. I also had
a very pleasant interview with Congressman
Klicrbe. I did no! see the
other congressmen or did I have opportunity
to meet Hie senators,
though 1 heard Senator Tillman's
speech or the greater part of it, on
the financial question which he delivered
in the senate la?l Monday.
Through the courtesy of Zack MeCee
and Pat McOowan, of th'2
State and News and Courier, respectively,
I was given access to the press
gallery of the House and Senate, ami
this gave an excellent opportunity
to see and hear what was going on.
lie House was in session only a few
minutes but the Senate seemed to be
:U work.
W iien it was given out on Monday
that Senator Tiilman would speak
>; there was a demand for all tlu? room
in the galleries and all of the sen5
ale galleries were filled for some
3 time lrofore Senator Tillman begun
his speech a;id llioy remained and
were stiil in their seats when ] left.
3 It is said that the galleries always
? fill when it is known that Senator
r Tillman is to speak.
i You can usual!., hear more politics
i in \\ ashington about your own state
- than you can at home, but on this
trip T hear very little politics. Some
one did state that in addition to those
Who have already made positive announcement
of their intention to run
! for Senator Dailimcr's place that Ex,
Governor John Gary Evans would
[ certainly be in the race.
f also heard a very interesting dis!
cussion between two of our congress,
men as to presidential nominations
I'or the Democratic parly. Both of
them are great admirers of Wiliam
J. Bryan and one of them insisted
that by all means Bryan was the
man for tlu> democratic nomination,
rill' oilier is a strong Governor Johnson
man whom he declares represents
|lie views an<l |ti'iuciples of Mr.
Bryan and who can, in his opinion,
carry a great portion of that Norwegian
vole I'hrouyhoul (lie Northwest.
Governor .lo'hiison has not had the
pivstige of two unsuccessful campaigns,
and he also insisted i-t made
little difference whether Mr. .Johnson
was known or not, that he believed
t'hat he was the man for the
Democrats to nominate if they desired
victory in the campaign of 1007.
The Bryanite insisted that Mr.
Bryan was the greatest man in tire
I parly and that he was the man for
the Democrats to nominate, tihough
strange to say he would admit very
frankly that he did not iiiink w*th
| Mr. Bryan as a nominee the Demo|era
Is could win.
11 is a little strange that ail those
I who insist that Mr. Bryan should be
I nominated and who adinil that he
| will be nominated will also at the
same time tell you that they do not
think he has any chance of winning.
.That being I he case il would seem i
I'ae proper thing to select some other I
standard bearer like Governor John-1
son, unless the Democratic parly dosires
lo go before the country with
the admission thai it has only one
man in the parly who measures up i
I to the presidential candidate standard.
1 have found in Washington-.pretty i
strong sentiment Which i> growing in
favor of Governor Johnson as tlv.''
candidate for the Demoe'railic nomination.
He was in Washington only
a few days before my visit and attended
llie. Grid Iron Club. His
j speech on that occasion was very
1 highly spoken of, and there can be
no doubt t'hat he is growing in favj
or with the Democratic party for tli2
j presidential nomination as he be|
comes belter known, for as the Johnson
advocate, mentioned above, suggested
in the discussion with the
Bryan advocate if Mr. Bryan woul 1
go to the Democratic convention
I next summer and make a speech
placing Governor .Johnson in nomination
and declining the uomiation
hiniseif and then give him hearty
support in the campaign we believe
the Democratic party would have
good prospect of success.
As 1 always do when in Washington,
1 called at the treasury department
to see our Newberry people who
work there and when I asked for Mr.
.lames F. Kilgore, was greatly sur!
prised to be told that he was dead.
; lie was buried on the Tuesday bcj
fore I reached Washington. He had
not been well for some time and on
j Friday before his death had been
I taken lo the hospital where an opcra!
tion was performed for some stomach
| trouble, and on Monday following
he died. Mr. Kilgore will be vory
j pleasantly remembered by many of
i the older people in Newberry, at
j least. For many years lie assisted
j the clerk of court and live other olVij
eers in this county in recording papers
and about ten or fifteen years
ago he secured an appointment in
| the auditing department of the
! treasury at Washington and has been
; in that department since, mitii his
death.
| I saw Mr. Fred Weber who is in
;tiie same department and who holds
a good position, and with him we
i won! to call on Mi's. Boag who is ali
so in that department, but she was
( not in the office on this day.
I did not get to sec I he other Ncw|
bernans who live in Washington, r.s
I my time was very br'nvf.
j The new Central passenger station
j has been put in use thorn?}) it is not
j completed. T| is a very handsome
i building and is on the onpnsiple side
j of the Capitol from the Pennsylvania
station. This is said to be j!ie handi
somest union station in the w.-rld. It
wili cost, when eom'dr'ed aV ui
00(1,000, (I've million ?*r ?-l?Jeii was
appropriated by congress.
