CHRISTMAS 1S95. G:ory to God in the highest! And on earth peace, Good will toward nen ! So the angels chanted the procla mation of the "Gospel of Peace" to ward all mankind. Who can refrain lrom joining in that sublime canticle, vcicing as it does the heart-hungry longings of all of God's intelligent creatures? No wonder the event is celebrated the world all over; for who can utter a word against the doctrine pio claimed? That doctrine was the life-text of Him whose birth was so highly hon ored. In all his life and teachings he ascribed "glory to God" and inculcat ed "eood will toward men." The ar gelic anfr iay well be regarded as an epitome of the Gospel, an epitome of the entire revelation of God to man; for it declares our duty toward God and our duty toward our fellows. The golden rule is an amplification of it; so is the sermoi on the mount; and so the Lord's prayer. The day should be observed in the spirit of the proclamation, in the spirit of Him in whose honor it was issued, in the spirit of Him who is sued it, and in hearty appreciation of the great truths so loftily published;' so that all the festivities of the season may be the proclamation itselt in liv ing and loving action through our joyful instrumentality. But all should remember that whilst the "Son of v Man" came "eating and drinking," He never sanctioned riotous and self ish gratification in meats and drinks, or any' self-indulgence. Let temper ance prevail in all things; let se-if ba forgotten; let each think only of the other. In blessing others, we bless ourselves the most. In iovir g man v:Lem we have seen, we shicw our love to God. I weesa. Sonme Lurtened 1.rether bless to-day ! Wr ..all not pass again tis way. Bearing in mind the great procla mation of the first Christmas and hav ing our heai ts full of love to God and man, we all should pray for "peace on eartl'," and especially for peace be tween the two great English-speaking nationalities of the globe. Let all the pulpits preach peace on Christ mas dav. Let all true lovers of God and man breatl e peace on that day, speak of peace and pray for peace. And so may peace prevail between them and uas, for we be brethren. Farewell 1895. This being .the last issue of the Times for the year 1895, the editor desires to thank the public for their kind jatrolnage, and the encourage ment giveni hm in his efiorts to give the people a first c'ass con vty news paper. The Times is iated among I the best papers in il e St::te wiceh is gratifying to the, managemient. We shali in the future strive to merit a continuance of the esteem in which this paper is held, and we will prom ise to do everything in our power to k.eep the p~aper at its present high s'andard, and if pessible improve it. There is one thing v e can boast of, and that is we have never as yet been so unforit.nate as to advertise fraud uilant business houses. Every adver tiser in the 'Times is reliable and on this score our readers have never had any cause to complain. \':e never shirk e::pressing,our op pini'ts on wattei s of public concerni, buat uat the san~ce ilme wve have done so with a therough regard for the feelings of others, and we have neveri -- refused the columns of this paper to any one when they wanted to discuss a subject. We will continue on in this spirit of fairness, and whenever: there appears anything in these j colaiuns which doe-s not meet the ap- i piovtal of any citizen and be wishes to rnpy our assurance is given that he shall have a full and a fair showing. The year 1896, will be full of natiornal and State politics; the whole country from one end to the othier t will be disuuSinag the various politi cal problems, Nationally the people~ of this State are almost a unit, t o0 there is no danger of much excite ment on that score, but it is no: so with State polities, cur people ort divided into factions, although tie 'C bitterness heretofore existing has e somewhat subsided. It will be our pleasure to- work for the wiping out of all bitterness and to teach the pe-o- I: ple that it is to their best interests to a lay aside factional feeling; that in o seecing muer to filll the various go~v- a ernmieatal ofiees, merit and quali- 0 ien~tion should be the guies. 14 We will endeavor to draw to our t couaay lpope from other counties, by showing to them the advantages li of our soil,the~ eliate alnd the whole- 0 sou~eclwess of ouir peop'e There is no a doubt about it, ''lare-u'lon has as fine c lands as there are in the State. We el madle as much cotton per acre as do the high-priced lands of Marlboro', and we raise tobacco superior to that of Virginia. All that we necd is a - gen~elal pulling together; start up 1 various small industries, raise more bread, meet, molasses, less cotton and racket, and keep out of debt; if this . dne we will have no cause to dread ie future. In expressing our views on any sub ct we will not try to create the im ression that we know it all, and we ball endeavor not to arrive at a con lusion before giving the matter a erious thought; we propose to run bis paper in the interest of the mas es and not the few, and we realize hat oar success depends upon the aasses as well as our own efforts. In conclusion we desire to again eturn thanks for the patronage re eived in the past, and to wish one LnD all a merry Christmas. Judge Simorton has held, that to >rder liquor and divide it with others s asale and lays the party dividing ha )le to indictment. As we understand it n the Gonzales case, one brother or lered from outside of the State,liquor; ipon its arrival, he gave another >rother a part of the stuff. This iquor was taken to the Columbia :lub for the personal use of these >rothers; constables raided the estab ishment and anongo thers they found be Gonzale's liquor and seized it. he case was taken to the United tates court, and that tribunal re used to make the State give up the iquor so seized. There is some indication of a war etween England and the United states. President Clevelaud's recent nessage has a war-like ring, and it ias taken the breath away from those vho have been accusing him of being he tool of Great Brittain. His mess Lge on the Venezuela affair is great Lnd it leaves England with one of two hings to do-accede to Cleveland's lemands or fight. He left no room or quibbling-it is business-put up >r shut up. We sincerely hope the atter may be satisfactorily settled vithout a resort to arms, but should he United States be forced to war, Iouth Carolina will be found in the ore-front as she has always beer n every war. A war between Uncl? am and Johnnie Bull will strike [own all existing sectional barrieis nd there will be no more -North, outh, East, or West; but this, the graniest country the sua shines 'pon" will be one country, s~s it was rhen the patriot fathers shouldered heir long muskets and drove the red aekets from our shores. Let Presi lent Cleveland sound the toscin, and mong the first responses will be outh Carolinats who differ from him n his financial policiesand who were >pposed to his nomination for presi lent; yes, men who denounce( Cleve and "as the tool of Wall Street" will ush to the rescue, because it is right ,nd he has himself shown a disposi ion to maintain and defend the jright. McLaurin Honored. It is with great pleasure that we anounce to the people of the Sixth Jonressional Distzict that Hon. John JicLaurin has been appointed by speaker Reed on the ways and zienns mnmittee of Congress. This appoint nent is cert ainly a compliment to our oung Congte::stan as it is a recogni ation of his worth and ability; it is ~so a compliment to his'people. It gives aim a high rank in the halls of national egislatiou and makes him: a leader on he Democratic side. Thbis is the first imne sicce 1860 that Scruth Carolina sS been representedl on the wayvs andI eans committee. The Columbia Iegister in speaking of this appoint nettsays: Ccngressmian McLaurin, as the dean of e :ielegation, got by far the best appoint uents. He has been in Congress longer hn any other member of the delegation, id length of servcee counts for mneh in be selection of commwitteemer!. Thutt is ot all. howe.ver, that is considered. Brains nd ability are strong reconnmuendaitionxs for :ood cominittce berths, and of those M!r. acLurm ha a large share. While his ourse in State polities bas not always com ended itself to The Iegister, and has een condemned by many people in Sonth arolina, his work in Congress has delight ,d his friends anid no exception ean be aken to it by his enemies. It is said that ?zar Reed "desred to give McLaurin erk'd recogniti:.n as a splendid repre. ntative of th~e prcgressive clement of the Nw South.'" Ph: eing him on the ways :jd licans Con:uii tee was "mark'ed recoem it'in," for it r.ils in impIortance wi'h the ry ;c'i lMkig : d Cur.'ene? C'ommittees h' e t Ih c*'on mittee on whic-h he is Tr.,ir tc. R:>lwis and Canal',..is but lit iie ljs 1:5m . So it seems Mr'. .\Ie .ain'.s tair;: command recognition )x:.ad as nt !!- .mu home. WV hat was tl ere in McLaurin's ourse its State polities the Register lisaproved of ? Was it his refusing ' bend the pregi.ant knee to some of hec big lights in the Reform faction? ora'ssman MeLaurin was sent to orp~Ess by the people and no't by ;liticianuo, and his work t here has ee wa~thdl Ly his pleopkc with id~e. Hei hatd the mnanbo'.d to tell be people what be honestly believed o'tnc:g maiters at home, and the eoi-e will sand! by him. Pet ty poli icians, mtay Ilv-bhaw himi beh'in' his -ack, but wshen they mnet hinm before be people of this District they will ing low. South Carolina never had an .Ller repre sentative, and one more in anest to work for the masses. If .e'Laurtin dif'ered from the other ades it was because he believed imsef right and the others wrong, ~d whenever lie is called npon to bite is tcetgue for fear of offending others e will surrei'der all public honors, nia not his self-respect and manhood. !eLaurin has a brigzl.t future before i and there is no man in the State ae i~s more strongly inledded in ibe e:ts of the people.

We have recently noticed in sever.d pa pers speculations ,as to political transac tions and results for the year 189G- There can be no doubt but that some of the State politicians are getting uneasy and are "cast ing abont," attempting to make combina tions and frame political slates for anoth er campaign. We have recently noticed the names of several gentleuen muentionel as probable candidates for governor and United Slates q. S-nator. We have also seen the natnes of a few mentioned as would be successors of the Hon. John L. McL mrin, in Congress, III from this, the Gth Di.atrict. We have seen Mr. McLaurin's name frequently mentioned in the different State a papers as a probable condidate foe Giver nor, and also for United States Senator. While Mr. ',leLanrin is our personal friend, in and while we believe that we know just about as much as any one about his pm:Lns and political intentions, yet weare free to I say that we nre ignorant, so far as any ex pression frOm him .is concerned, as to his ixtentions for next year. He is keeping his connsel, and :atreadinr strictly to his Congressional business, and A at the the proper time he will show soee of the place-hnnters whether or not the people are wiliing for his retiremeet. We don't know that he will be a andht for Congress, but should he decide to make the race ogain we are sure thait no m::.n in the District can ever give him an intere t ing race. A few extreme, bitter, puiirile and dec -ptive ;eoliclans have attempted to create the impi isiSion in ":d 1inh ti tion circles" that McL:mrin h-.l very much weakened his inflience in the Pee Dee jj country, on account of his fearless and ont-poken deliverance' on c:-rtain pubbe questions. But wien the time comes for MeLaurin to go bfore the people on his A! record he will not only receive th.- highest and strongest endorsemoent of the people, D but he will forever bury in political oblivion those few places-hunting politicians who D are continually biting at his hecis. John L. McL-orin is stronger to-day In A' Marlboro' county, and Sith Carolina than ever at any time in his life. He is at his D post of duty attendling to his business. He would not be a part% to t e ht.te-Honse Slze-Making-Colbin.-. He is "sawing wood," and is willing for the p-ople to act. If the people want hi:u to he governor, Senator, Co.ngressnan or anythiLng else. he will serve them. The politicians need not tionble themselves about prori-lii:; a place for Johunie; the people are consbdering his case, and at the propcr time his services will be needed and be will respond.-Pee Dee Advocate.

EDITOR THE MANsING TIwEs:-Traveling over the Central railroa., reccutly I ha-l oc casion to stop o-er at a town bC-low Man. ning called Foreston. The train was let and we had to get off without any lights, except the conductor's, and mope one way the best we could, to a boarding house. Next morning whil: passng the depot I saw two lamp<: on posts. I mquirerd the cause of them rot bcing lit uhen the train arrived, and wa<; inforun-d that the Atlantic Coast Line was ec.aon:zing in every way they conl-], anl tthey sup;osed it was to ar save the expense of oil. 01 Th.' place appears to be in a flonrishing Cc condition-seven stortes, an so:ne of them of would do credit to a much larger place; ai besiuls, I was informed there would soon m be a! 1-ast a half dozen more famili- s mov- in ing in diring the mouth of January. They t: have two nice churches and a flonrishing m school. The people appear to be a live and tO go-ahetad set. I think it is a good opening ai for an electric light company. Foreston has a beautiful pale to hoist the wvether signals on. I can't say how often they change the signals. but suppose at least bi-an nually, not oftener, as it is in ac- r oordanc~te with the g-nerai manage'ment of the Atlanti -('oast Line's ecomomny, who only a give people freight accommodations every other day from Charleston.

Malaria is always about, and the only preventive and relief is to keep the Liver active. You must help the Liver a bit, and the best helper is the Old Friend, SIM xONS LIVER REGULATOR, the RED Z. Mr. C. Himrod, of Lancaster,' Ohio, says: "SIMMONS LIVER REGULATOR broke a case of Malarial Fever of three years' standing for me, and less that one bottle did the business. I shall use it when in need, and recommend it." Be sure that you get it. Alv.ays look for the RED Z on the package. And don' forget the word REGULATOR. It is SIM MONS LIVER REGULATOR, and there is only one, and everj one who takes it is sure to be benefited. THE BENEFIT IS ALL IN THE REMEDY. Take it also for Biliousness and Sick Headache; both are caused by a sluggish Liver. J. H. Zeilin & Co., Philadelphia. TAX RETURNS OFFICE COUNTY AUDITOR, CLARNDON COUNTY. Manning, S. C..
