SANTA CLAUS LETTERS.
We propose on December 19 to fire
an entire pnge of The Press and Brand*
sard to the little tots. Christinas Is com*
ang end we want to fire them this op*
fiortanity to briuf their wants to the
wUention of old Santa Clans. Bo we are
sroinf to pnbUsb the letters of these lit*
ale ones to Santa Clans telling him
what they wish him to bring them for
Christmas. We be'ieve that when he
mads The Pre»s and Standard with
Sbes) letters printed in it, he will get
She the toys asked for and pat them on
hit sled for the little boys and girls
asking for them. S » we are going to
ask a favor of the parents and teachers
<of day or Sunday schoo's. and it is to
tell their little ones of this chance to
get u letter delivered to Santa Claus,
and. if necessary to write it lor the tiny
hand that has not yet lear ed to shape
the crooked letters. Don’t change the
ideas, though Let us have these and
t • words just ns the little
mind forms theth. Address all
letters to Santa Claus, care of The Press
and Standard, and write early if yon
wish to boon time.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day. It is
associated with soma of the first avsnts
in oar country’s bis'ory. In 1621 after
the first harvest of the New England
colonists Governor Bradford made pre
cision for their rejoicing specially to-
Sfether with praise and prayer. From
(this time dates this beautiful American
custom of appointing a thanksgiving
aiay annually after harvest by prociar
auation of the President aid Governo*
af each state.
0 \ t
It is well to have this custom—this
*<!a^ which we believe is more widely
«>b£rved as a holidny than any in our
4‘Gtiutry. II is a time w’hen eveiyone
should do a little self-analysis, a little
individual book-keeping. The debits
M:d credits should all be down and
4<alance sheet taken to determine jnst
diow thankful we should be and for
ovliat.
•luet at this season of the yeir when
'fho harvest is all inis the lest time we
Know for evening up our affairs and
sejigg where we stand. It will take
•close figuring for ' many of Colleton’s
yeomanry to determine for what they
Should be thankfnl after this scant
harvest Let the had year—the dark
/'loads of despondency, have a silver
lining. It is not so bad bat it may have
been worse. Looking at conditions with
a large vision, taking in a whole conn*
ty or state, is it not well that this short
crop year has come to call a halt to the
wild schemes and extravagant ideas so
many of our people were indulging}
Too much prosperity spoils os surely as
too much adversity. We will all be
more careful in the future,and this may
bring os cause for thanksgiving after
anofhec harvest than this. Let ns hope
ao. At least let ns be optimistic.
A year of crop failure does more to
make real manhood, develops more grit
in all our people than any agency of
wnidh we can think. After all our ills
Are largely imaginary and magnified.

So Ut us tale this duy off and think
of whst has liup|ieue I since the last
Thanksgiving Day. When the family
is ail assembled round die table at din
ner look aronnd upon the brigi.t happy
faces of wife, mother, father, children,
in the enjoyicent • f Netiiih and content
ment or fire 1 with noble ambition
It may be some place is vacant. The
accustom*! face may be abeeut tea -
porily or gone forever. Let ns be
thankful, then, for the memory of the
absent. There may be a naw face with
bright little eyes, and dimpled smiles—
oh, there are a thou and things we
could mention f-r which we should bow
A
in reverent thankfulness, as individuals
and as a nation.
Thanksgiving Always.
When barn and byre are safe,
When dock* are in the fold,
When far and near the burden'd fields,
Have bowed ’neatii ha'vest’s yold;
When clusters rich lave dropped
From (nm.y a Mushing vine.
And general orchards, wide and fair,
Have owned ne touch divine;
1 hru, up fioui grateful hearts
. Let joylul praise arise
To Him who gives the waiting earth,
The blessings of the skies.
When round the mother's knee
The little children cling.
When night and morn the he uphold
eaves
With merry voices ring,
When not a sunny head.
Is missing from the throng,
When not s silver note is dropped
From ont the daily s ng;
Then, up from thankful hearts
Let ferven. praise ai ise
1 o Him who fills the happy home
W 1th blessings from the skies.
Ahankfol for?
For the flowers and for the wheat,
For the cold and for the beat,
For the fruit and for the grain,
Foj the tuudune and for the rain.
For the mother’s look of grace,
For the baby’s,little face,
For the morning's smile of bliss,
For the beppy good-night kies.
For the cherry bells th%t swing,
Aad for freedom s peel and ring.
ATTENTION, FARMERS!
This is a season of the year when
farmers generally feel 0 they can let
loose for a season, and take a holiday.
The bosiness and professions! man
takes his holiday in the summer time
when the snn is hot, and goes off to
the mountains or the seashore—th^t is,
some of them do Some business men,
and they are saccessfnl ones too, never
take s holiday.
We believe it would be better for the
farmer to take his holiday between
“laying by” lime and "fodder palling”
time. This season of the year should
be the most bnsy for the tncoeeefni
farmer, or the farmer who intends to
succeed. We desire, especially, at this
time to direct a few pertinent—not
impertinent—inquiries to the farmers
of Colleton oonnty. This has been one
ef the most dlsaatrons and short mop
years ths farmer hoe had to contend
within many years. Therefore, it is
proper that he shonld strain every
nerve to naske good the next year.
This is the season of preparation. The
grain crop was ehort this year. An
abundance of oats end rye should be
sown this fall and winter to mase np
the groin ehortege.
1. Hare yon sown yoors yet? If not,
Why?
One of the lessons we shonld
have learned last sntamer, is that it is
necessary for our low lauds to be pto-
perly drained. There is no reason of
the yeitr when it is better to do the
necessary ditching on the farm than
now. Don’t pat f it off till next year
when other things will be needed, but
do it now.
2. Have yon all the ditches on yoar
farm you need? If not when are you
geing to dig them!
Yoar lands have been bleached and
washed terribly this year by tho heavy
rains. It will lie necessary, in order to
make a good crop next year, to odd
something to the soil. There are two
sources from % which this may be ob
tained—home-made and commercial
fertilizers The home-made can be
had by piling up leaves, pine-straw and
and bays, letting U

To guard your home against the un
seen dangers of food products, the Govern
ment has enacted a pure food law. The
law compels the manufacturers of baking
powder to print the ingredients on the i
label of each can. j
The Government has made the label your protection—
so that you can avoid alum—read h carefully, if it does not

ftilneas of food
ia piles till next spring when it may b"
mixed with stable manure or commer
cial fertilizer and placed on the land.
S. How. is yonr mack pile? Is it
growing! if not, why?
Then there is on most lands in Colle
ton county an abundance of *grsM thh
year. There is no better time to turn
this under along with cotton and corn
stalks than between now and Christ
mas, so that it may be well rotted by
planting time.
4- Have you turned yours undar yet?
Are you goivfg to between now and
Christmas? If not, why?
A constant sonroe of annoyance in
Colleton county is the ft-uces, both
field and pasture. Cattle aud hogs are
constantly making incursions into
nsighbor’s crops and doing both actual
and "mental” damages on account of
defective fences A good time to fiz
your fence is now, while you have
time.
5. Is your fence all.that it should
be? If not. why?
Thns it will be seen, this is no season
for loafing. Tims and again we base
mentioned in theee colnmns the richness
of Oolleton’e resources, and the fertility
of her toil. We fear eome of her citi
zens are not making the most of their
opportunities Borne of them are taking
life too easy and consequently find the
way hard; We believe eome of them
like to go to "town” and loaf roand the
street corners when it would pay them
better to be at home working. Onr
office is near the principle grog-shop of
the coanty, and we know we have eeen
men go in there and spend their little
bit of money for whiskey, when their
wife or babiee were in need of shoes, or
when the mnuev so spent was owing for
something previously enjoyed. Now is
this manly or right?,* How much better
that such an one shonld have stayed
home and dug up 6ne stump, so that a
few more hills of corn or cotton shouid
be grown next year.
These su gestions ^e throw' ont for
v bat they are worth. If you believe
there is something in what we have
said and ^profit thereby to the extent
thut you- grow nest year two stalks
whoro one grew this year we shall be
glad wo have written.
