Is i a far off thing with a hidden mean ing or is the meaning to us .one o . nothing high, nothing helpful? And what is it? Simply a gift' A gift of what? Does the little toy the little tinsel that shines for a da> and soon departs hold all of ou: tnought of Christmas? Does it mean simply the giving o material gifts? No. The materia side of Christmas may be ignorec and yet the brightest of Cliri&tmas spirits be experienced. The gift o! thoughtfulness, the gift of kindness consideration of and for others makes the spirit worth while. The clerk who labored yesterday for j mere pittance and went home tired too tired to enjoy the Christmas spirit of his own fireside, has a hare ovnonpnfins the Christina* spirit, unless you have been filled with the Christmas spirit when shopping. To-day is Christmas. May the spirit of it lead of us to give ourselves to higher things than material gifts. May the day hold for everj reader a bright spirit. May the homes where darkness has come because of bereavement, of sorrow and of transgression, be brightened b\ the best spirit. May we live foi others this one day in the true Christmas spirit. Mr. Charles D. Meigs has written a little poem which is popular ir many places and it is a fitting expression for a Christmas prayer,Nand we reproduce it herewith; clip it and paste it in your choicest book and let it help you along the highway o! the New Year: "Lord help me to live from day tc ^ ^ ua> In such a self-forgetful way. That even when I kneel to pray, My prayer shall be for others. "Help me in all the work I do. To ever be sincere and true. And know that all I'd do for you Must needs be done for?others "Let self be crucified and slain, And buried deep and all in vain. May efforts be to rise again Unless to live for?others. "And when my work on earth U done And my new work in heaven's be gun. May I forget the crown f've won While, thinking still of?others. "Others. Lord yes others. Let this my motto be. That I may live for others. And thus live like Thee." B. The Boys and Girls of Bamberg. The holiday season brings to Bam berg nothing that she values more or should value more, that it's quote of boys and girls who are away *ron home attending colleges in various parts of this and other states. The: Lave been missed from the life of tin .own, how much no one realizes ful ly until they begin to come back They come with the freshness o \ouih. of enthusiasm, of ambitioi and of purpose. Their hopefulness is refreshing to the Dusv nusines: man. the man v.-ho has gone along ir the rut of selfishness too often, no remembering his neighbor, not think mg of aught but material things And of course Bamberg does not dif fer from other communities -in this respect. But we are glad to have them, t( see them in all of their brightness and freedom of care and responsi c-ility. A few years will bring then 10 realize that many things that they I look upon as easy of achievement - are harder to posess that they dreamed. Hut their untiring zeal is heip= t'ul. and we sincerely trust that the coming of the years may not succeed ~ in wearing away their high purpose. e hut may every good purpose they . i >ssess grow larger, hettc and ? urcnger all the while. We need ^ Gin- toys and girls. We need them a to awaken us to higher tilings. And y ili^j need us. Xot for what we have 1 so much, and for what we may do 0 for-them. Dollars and cents cannot measure their value, but we need to ; invest more of a material nature for l> the welfare of the vouth ' of this p ?- , . ? , town. Tne triun is rsamoerg mis h never done much which migh he consiaerec; as an investment for tlie vo.it h. The schools we have cony s strutted, but that is in the nature of i life insurance. We dare not let them L1 grow up in ignorance, and further,* more that is but a duty known to all. Not until Bamberg begins to >- understand that the boys and girls H of to-day are the men and women of to-morrow and begins to drive g out and keep out certain kinds of t places which have opened up in our ? midst within the past vear. will we s e even seem to begin to place a true valuation upon opr greatest asset. Not only a constructive force for the p development of our boys and girls a is needed, but a repressive measure e is needed in Bamberg that they be " not led into needless temptations. - We believe that the town is ready for a Young Men's Christian Association or a similar organizetion. But we started out to welcome our college boys and girls home and this e we must do now, and in welcoming j tnom with great pleasure, we also include those who could not go and t did not go. for to them we owe just ol- oroat a Hpht f CONFIDENCE MEN CAUGHT. ' Sentenced to Serve Three to Ten Years in Penitentiary. r Nashville, Tenn.. December 17.? .John W. Arnold, a noted confidence f man who ^ was recently extradited 1 from Texas, to-day pleaded guilty in 1 the Criminal Court of defrauding ; Thomas G. Watkins, a local attorney, f in the sum of $1,900. He was sen, tenced to from three to ten years in , prison. Arnold operated by reprei senting that he desired a separation i from his wife, who, because of her . religious convictions did not desire a - divorce. A division of property was I arranged and the wife, a confederate. ; forwarded a draft for $2,000. Watl kins had the draft cashed. It was - bogus. He trailed Arnold to Texas. The confidence man was wealthy and > the attorney recovered his money. HIS OWN KNIFE CUTS HIM. 1 r Gaffney Butcher Victim of an Unusual Accident. Gaffney, December 17.?A rather odd accident, and one that came near being serious, occurred to John .Moor i head, who conducts a meat mariner here, last night. Moorhead has a i very sharp meat knife on the block t used for carving meats, and as he - started to walk around the block his [ leg struck the blade of the knife. The 1 handle then slipped across the block 1 and became wedged under a piece of f meat which lay on top of the block, and before Mr. Moorehead could stop , himself a gash had been inflicted to the bone in his leg. The sharp blade narrowly missed an artery, and when Dr. J X. Xesbitt arrived on the scene the injured member was bleeding profusely. Several stitches were taken in the wound. FARM Kirs HEAD BLOWN OFF. Not Known Whether Georgian Took Lite or Was Shot. 5 Groveania. Ga., Dec. 20.?Steve F. Livens, prominent farmer of Hornton County, was found dead to-niglu in the roadway two and a half miles from this city, with the top of his head blown off with a shotgun. Whether Mr. Bivens accidentally kill- ed himself, committed suicide, or was shot by an assassin is a matter for the coroner to ascertain at to-morrow's inquest. Mr. Bivens went hunting this morn" ing. When he did not return for din uor a search was begun. His horse and buggy was found-in a field a half mite from the point where th.e body was discovered. He Shouldn't Worry. A stamp clerk told this story to the Chicago Record Herald: A small boy came up to my stamp window.and said: -^'Can you give me a $2 bill for these two silver dollars?" I said I could, and did so He stuck the money in an envelope and - was about to seal it when I warned . him. "Don't you know you ought to get 5 a money order and not send money that way," I said. "It might get lost i or some clerk might swipe it." 5 He looked up at me and sniilpd: "Oh, don't worry. I ain't going to ) mail it here." 1 CAMEwS M We received last M ? of extra nice Mule ; : fine horses for wf If you want an ani H it will be to your i P before you buy. fg line of Buggies, g: our prices and ter: gg you.

Brown was shot and seriously wounded at the Orr mills village Sunday morning about 4 o'clock by John Barnes.

Mtv ? .1 back to the mill, it is said, left Sunday for Hart county, and has not yet been apprehended. To-day it was said that Brown is pretty seriously hurt. The shooting occurred on the porch at Barnes* home, and there are several stories told as to what led up to it. One is that the two men. with others, had been gambling in the house earlier in the night, and that Brown had gone hack to see about certain money he had lost. Another is that he wanted whiskey, and went to the house to see if he could get any from Barnes; that there was a row, Brown attacking Barnes with a 1 nife and the latter firing on hint, with a pistol, at the same time trying to kick him off the porch, after first having fired into the air to try to frighten him away. Two of the shots from Barnes pistol took effect. One made a flesh wound in Brown's left side, and the other entered at the rear cK the hip, ranging downward. The last must have been fired at close range, as the clothing took fire, and the blaze was not extinguished until Brown arrived at the city hall, whither he came after the shooting, walking all the way. The result was that his hip and back were so badly burned ti-at he had later to be taken home by a physician and treated. However, the ball that had entered the side ? -x *1- - UaII K,. < . ? ^ v,as removed hi me nan mc doctor called to attend the injured man. Brown had been drinking a good deal, and didn't seem to realize th-3 seriousness of his condition. He said that the bullets amounted to nothing; what he wanted was more whiskey. "I don't care any more about thai bullet you've got." he told an officer who fingered the ball taken from his side, "than I do about a CC hill. What I want is some licker." However, he didn't get what he wanted. at least when he wanted it. Police Officer W. P. McClellan chanced to be on the ^South .Main j street beat, and was first to hear the I groans of the man as he made his | v ay to the city hall. He lent his assistance. got him inside the building | and called a doctor.?Anderson Mail. I To (iO 8,000 Miles to Marry.
