I If any of-the friends of The Herald
have a desire to give us Christmas
Presents, let the present be in the
Spy ' form of a paid subscription or renewal.
That will be entirely suf!?L.vvh
ficienfc* and will be appreciated just
IL. as much as a handsome Christmas
^ > A white Christmas is something
rarely seen in the South. It looked
very much on Monday afternoon as
if we should have a white Christmas
this year, but a sudden change in the
y. plans of\>ld Jupiter Pluvius dispersed
5/ the snow about as quickly as it appeared.

tertaining the great Southern Com1
mercial congress, and that both
|||; Charleston, the State and the South
p/ will be greatly benefited by the holdy
ing of the congress in South CaroK
lina's grand old city.
Jy ^ The Herald takes this opportunity
yy to wish each and every one of its
( " -readers a merry Christmas and a hapy
py new year. Let joy t>& unrestrained.
Although the year just ending
y has been a hard one for many, it has
been so much better than it was gengy

?v The Statue-wide prohibition law will
become effective on ^January first;
The blind tigers are no doubt at this
very time making their arrangements
j to ply their trade. We trust the officers
in the town and county of
Bambera will see to it that blind
tigers will not operate in this county.
Let every good citizen, who believes
in law enforcement, lend is cooperation
to the- officers to the end
that there will be real prohibition.
The time to start the enforcement of
the lajms on the very day it becomes
effective! / v .

at any other period in the year. The
I indiscreet firing of crackers, rockets,
etc,, cause. entirely too many fires. I
' Discharging fireworks is all right; it
is entirely in place, perhaps, but parents
should see that their children,
V in doing so, do not endanger prop^
!erty by fire. Also, the Christmas va.
- cation is a time when many accidents
occur. It is not at all necessary for
people to get injured by the firing of
.fireworks. Byv using care, no one
need be hurt>in the least. Let this
| be one Christmas in Bamberg when
lg| no fires will occur, and no one will
jffif be injured by foolishly handling dan'
gerous fireworks.

A Christmas Carol.
Scrooge was better than his word
He did it ' all and infinitely more
. . He became aa good a friend
as good a master, and as good a mar
as the good old city knew, or anyVrth
er good old city, town, or borough, ir
the good old world. Some people
laughed to see the alteration in him
but he let them laugh, and little heed
ed them; for he was wise enough to
know that nothing ever happened or
this globe, for good, at which some
people did not have their fill of laugh.
ter in the outset; and knowing that
such as these would be blind anyway,
he thought it quite as well that they
should wrinkle up their eyes in grins,
as have the malady in less attractive
forms. His own heart laughed; and
that was quite enough ror him. . . .
And it was always said of him that he
knew how to keep Christmas well, il
any m^a alive possessed that knowledge.
May that be truly said of us, and all
of us! And so, as Tiny Tim observed,
God bless us every one!

8IRDS' HOLIDAY DAINTIES
Yellow-Leg Snipe Travels Some 9,C0(
Mile# for Christmas DinnerRobins
Like Holly Berries. \
The yellow-leg snipe travels a mat
ter of 9,000 miles to get his Christmas
dinner. It is pretty nearly th?
longest journey made annually by anj
living creature* and the .object of i1
seems to be to procure certain dain
ties in the way of aquatic insects anc
crustaceans appropriate for holiday
fare. \ *
One might say, however, that the
most appropriate of Christmas din
ners is eaten by the robins which m
this holiday season feed largely upoi
the berries of the holly-?particularly
upon the berries of a kind of holly
called the black alder, which are ai
bitter as quinine.
Another bird which has an interest
ing Christmas is the mocking bird
He is a planter of the mistletoe ber
ries and mistletoe berries contribute
largely to his Christmas dinner. Be
ing particularly fond of them he inci
dentally, though without intention
carries the seeds to tree branchei
where they promptly fasten them
selves and sprout. In this way the
| parasitic plant is widely propagate(
| in Texas, which is the principal win
' ter resort of the mockers.
The canvasback duck breeds in th<
far North, from Minnesota to th<
Arctic circle, in the interior. But t.h<
call of Christmas turns it southward
