It is So Everywhere. Dorchester Eagle, De~c. 29. The shooting of fire works and fire-1 arms on the streets here last Satur day night was disgraceful. Of course it can b.e readily understood that this was done simply to .be in opposition a't te rule of the town government A PLEASANT DINEI. The Heads of Departments at Xollo hon Mill Present Superintendent Gold Ring. The bosses and the superintendent at Mollohon mill have decided to en gage in a little welfare work at the mill during the coming year, with the object in .,iew of secur:ng a club house in the highest sense of the meaning of that word. The first work is to organize the heads of the sever al departments and g.ct them united and interested in the work. The first step in Ih:s direction is in the shape of social gatherings at the homes. One of these was held at the residence of M-. J. E. Mer chant, boss of the c3oth room, on last Friday night. An elegant dinner was served and the follow:ng were pres ent: W. D. Stillwell, carder: R. V. Por ter, spinner; P. A. Howard, weaver; T. Burton, master of mechanics; J. E. Merchant, clothroom overseer; E. S. Summer, superintendent; D. E. Schum-, pert, bookkeeper; B. L. Dorrity, book-! keeper, and M. F. Grimes, card erec tor. This dinner Nas I'l bonor of Sup erintend-:-nt Elmer S. Summer. Mr. E. H. Aull was invited to attend this din ner and at the conclusion of the repast, and in behalf of those who hold posi tions.in the heads of the departnients of the mill, Mr...Ai.l presented to Mr. Summer, as a token of the regard of those who are laboring Nith him, a: bleautiful old gold ring Ii, present ing the ring Mr. Aui spolie briefly on the advantages to be gained by such gatherings and the benefits to be de rived from gettitia tLsether socially, and endeavored to eacoirage those present to keep up -Lhe good work in which they are en.azed. In presenting the ring he offered the following sentimn6nt to Mr. Sum mer: As "to the noble mind Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind," So does a gift fra.ant with the re membrance of friendship carry with it to the recipient a joy far beyond' the .power of rikhes to buy. At thisl season we celebrate the giving to the! world of its greatest gift, and this is essentially the season of gi'ving. When1 good will and well-wishes inspire the* gift, and when it is accepted in the spirit in which it is given, the true spirit' of the Yuletide is manifest.I This occasion,is a happy illustration of this sentiment. :.~r. Aull told Mr. Summer that th- :e who presented this token wished him mighty well in 1912, but begged to remind him that the only way he could succeed as superintendent of the great industry he had in chai-ge,! was' to secure the sympathy and co operation of those who were his lieu-. tenants in the work, so to speak, and also the sympathy and cooperation of these who stood behind the guns the, great army of men and women who stood from early morning until late at evening, and from day to day, behind the looms and at the spindles, and commended him in his efforts to scure that cooperation. The success of the~ commanding officer depends up on the faithfulness and loyalty of the privates in the ranks, and the same is true in the great battles of indus try. Mr. Summer is a young man who has fitted himself for the work and all indications point to his success in the management of the forces at th.e Mollohon mill. The men present at this social func tion are all young, intelligent, en thusiastic, competent, and will keep the wheels of industry rolling. It is a fact often commented on, that at the Mollohon mill and at the Newberry cotton mills are to be found a high class of help, and these insti tutions have had that reputation since the first wheels were turned. It is expected they will continue to bear this reputation. Philaethea Officers. At a meeting Sunday afternoon of the Philathea class of the First Bap tist church the following were elected officers for the ensuing term: Miss Gertrude Reieder, president; Miss Anita Dadidson, vice president; Miss Bettie Bradley, secretary; Miss Annie Ruff, treasurer; Miss Nell D)avis, mis sionary treasurer; Mrs. W. H. Hunt,, teacher and Mrs. Meldeau, assistantj techer, Lenore Broaddus, reporter. Electrocutioni versus Hanging. Hanging is a hungling barbarous mode of executing criminals. I think electrocution is an improvement on the old way. The State owes it to her-. self and to those convicted of capital offenses to see their exit is as hu mane as practicable. I hope, there fore, that the legislature at it next sit ting will substitute electrocution fo2 WORKING ON PANAMLA CANAL A. Chris. Garlington Talks Interest ingly of Great Work in Which He Has Part. Mr. A. C. Garlington, now one of the great number of those engaged in the great work .f digging the Panama canal, who has been spending the Christmas holidays at his home in Newberry, is, as are all those who have gone from Newberry to the out lying territories being developed by the United States, enthusiastic in talk ing of the great work being accom plished. The digging of the Panama canal, cutting in half the western hemisphere and uniting the Atlantic and the Paci fic oreanS, is one of the greatest un dertakings ever attempted by the Unit ed States, or any other nation. Mr. Carlington went on the work, in the gove-:ar.Nnt service, about thirteen months ago, during November of 1910. He is engaged i,n the work of the hy draulic excavation plant, and is in the electrical dpartment. Mr. Garlington took the course in this line of work at Newberry college, and was after wards with the telephone companies, being in Nashville in telephone work at the tim.e he secured the government pos-i-tion. Contrary to what would naturally be expected, 'Mr. Garlington says the sanitary conditions on the work are most excellent, and that there has been very little fever or other sick ness. There are the most improved hospitals, he says,~and a doctor at each station, and the general .health conditions are fine. The hotel accommodations for those engaged in the work, he says, are good, and those accustomed to the best of fare in this country feel no deprivation along this line. Speaking of the work, Mi. Garling ton says about four-fifths of it has been completed, and it is expected the canal will 'be open for navigation by June 1, 1913. From 5,000 to 6,000 Americans are engaged in the work, and some 35,000 native laborers. Mr. Garli-ngton says the fortications *at both ends of the canal are well un der way, and that the bigeguns are already in evidence. .Mr. Garlington is a nephew of Gen eral E. A. G-arlington, of the United States army, and stopped over in Washington on his way home to see his uncle. He will return to the can al via New Orleans, in time to report for duty on January 23. He is a sturdy believer in the lock system which is being used, saying he doesn't believe th~e canal could ever have been completed successfully un der any other system. He is delighted with 'the work and with the country. .The Only Chance. "If those California women run for office do you not 'think they would be guilty of purchasing votes?"
