State: 1st. Public "school teachers are valuable servants or officials of the State. This fact, together with the r*ature of their work, forbids them to resort to organization with a view to the employment of the strike method; nevertheless it is all the more jmnortant that thev should be well * wcsamzed in a democracy such as <ours&ids fair to be, because (a) they *m.ust ;m?Jce themselves felt in creattStprg favorable sentiment which will result in decent provisions for <them, and (b) in order that they may improve themselves and become more j worthy so that their vocation may k *rrr? <$?yled a profession. 4'^ir.

I wish you to regard tms nine i Christmas story as a personal letter, j | It happened one cold, crisp Christ- r : mas Eve five years ago. I was stand-! j ing in front of a brilliantly lighted i toy store in a city not necessary to j I name. Within was arranged in; ;j splendid masses every type of toy to : ;] gladden the heart of childhood. Com- j ; ing and going in eager, anxious haste' ;! were mothers and fathers clad inf j stylish, as well as comfortable clothes, j their faces smiling because they knew ' the joy they were making ready fori the coming morrow. There were al- 1 so little ones in that throng who j in their childish cunning knew full I well that many of those self same 1 * * m :_x ? jtoys would hang on ineir tiirisimas 1 trees, placed there by a mysterious . | Santa Claus, and they were glad. But all seemed to fail or refuse * | to see a poor, thinly clad mother, . | whose face showed th?t she had ?' known brighter and better days. ? Clinging to her hand wis a little 5 girl of six, whose only Christmas joy i would be the view of the toys which ) ! tomorrow would be the actual possese sion of thousands of happy children, j I watched her for a few minutes and mammmmmmmmammmmmmmm c: y m ounce to tl it the cornc he latest electric jrvice. Not onl1 * nn liand at all V** , oducts is well ki accuracy of o'ui MILES ncE" ( 1 t \ \ realized that this was only too true. Presently a man attired in his everyday working clothes modestly slipped into the mother's hand a crisp five dollar bill with the request that she spend it Tor the little ore s happiness. I then and there discovered there is no eloquence on earth to compare | with a tear drop glistening in a + tKaro Vl0r>niKP of liil/lUCl o tU1V4V ; gratitude. Now, my dear friend, as this i Christmas season approaches there J are two hundred and fifty thousand ; hungry, homeless and helpless ori phans, whose eyes are filled with tears I?not tears for Christmas toys, but tears for bread to satisfy the gnawing of hunger and to keep their staved and emaciated bodies from falling by the wayside and becoming dry bones to mingle with the thousands of others who have already fallen. There is no father to hear 1 their cries because he has been killed by the cruel Turk. Neither is there any mother, nor will there be, to Tfripe away their tears, for they have been scattered into the mountains and deserts, in many cases never to see their loved ones again. Fifty thousand of these mothers are unwilling victims in Turkish harems where a brand has been burned into their flesh and the threat of death; placed over their heads should they. escrpe. How many of these will j ever see their little ones again. God i only knows. Now my friend, I call upon you to ! assist in bringing Christmas to these j little ones. I call upon you in the j name of Him, who made Christmas i possible' for us all and said, "Inas-' much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these ye have done it un-! to me." I call upon you whether you j recognize Him as the Christ or not. j I call upon you in the name of suffer-; ing humanity. You may not see the ' tear drop of gratitude come into ! their eyes as I saw it come into that j mother's on that Christmas Eve, but j their gratitude to you will be far j greater and you shall not lose your j reward. Simply fill out your check for i whatever amount your heart may j prompt, and forward the same to W. Banks Dove, State Chairman, No. 211, Liberty National Bank Building, Columbia, S. C. Yours very truly, W. Banks Dove, State Chairman. j ^ I HEAVY FOG COSTS THIRTY SIX LIVES Marshfield, Ore., Dec. 20.?Thirty| six lives were lost when the tank I steamer C. A.

MANY SEEK INFORMATION ABOUT FERROLAX Introduction of New Discovery is Creatine General Interest. I The success attending the sale of Ferrolax in this city serves as a clear index at the remarkable medicinal powers of the new medical discovery. People from all walks of life - are seeking: information about it, and many have been convinced of the fact that Ferrolax is a real medicine and j are not hesitating to purchase a bot-1 tie of this wonderful reconstructive' tonicIt is safe to predict that it will be , only a short time until the remark-; able merit of Ferrolax will become recognized in all parts of South Caro-; lina, just as it is in all other sections | of the country where it has been in troduced. j The fame of Ferrolax is spreading j rapidly, and deservedly so, but the j almost miraculous results attending j the use of this powerful reconstruc- j * * i tive medicine are entirely responsioie j for its fast flowing popularity. One : person invariably tells another about J a medicine that helps him, and in this i way many people hear of Ferrolax! as a direct result of one bottle in a j single home. j If you are suffering, give Ferro- j lax a trial, and you will soon join the j great army of sufferers who today ac- ; claim Ferrolax as the world's great- j est reconstructive medicine.
