A MERRY CHRISTMAS.
We denire to extend to our reader*
this week our very beet wishe* for a
happy and enjoyable Christman anil a
prosperous New Year. Never ha*
Colleton county been in a better
position to enjoy a Christmas. Fewer
•f her people are in need and condi
tions generally are better than in
many years. This, too. will be a
sober Qiristmas - prohibition is pro
hibiting. Santa Claus will gladden
more t heart» because- the selfish
parent cannot squander his little for
that which brutalizes. Many a little
heart will be lighter, and. many 9
little boy’s and girl's Christmas will
will be brighter because of prohibi
tion, and could they but know, how
thankful they would be)
WHY NOT
We hate seldom seen so great
interest shown by our people as is
now being manifested in the pro
posed Cor federate Monument to he
erected on the Court House Square:
Perhaps those most interested in the
monument are the few survivors of
those who so nobly defended our
Southland in the trying days of ,f»l
to .(Vj. This remnant of Colleton’s
Legion of Honor should be permitted
to gaze upon this proof of our devo
tion and reverence before they
answer their last call. One of the
most devoted of the survivors, in
speaking of this proposed monument,
said there were two things which he
° ’ cy
wished to pee before he “crossed
over”, and one of them is a monu
ment on Court House Square to pre
serve the memory of the Confederate
soldier. This longing will find a
responsive echo, in the breast of
every-veteran of the Lost Cause, and
it ia a wish so easy to be gratified, if
everyone will unite in the effort
being made just now.
This brings us to consider the im
portance of an organization in this
county of Sons and Daughters of the
Confederacy, There is no reason
why we should not have a splendid
organization among the descendants
of our Confederate soldiers. Let us
of the younger generations get to
gether and endeavor to collect and
preserve the history of this period,
so that it may be transmitted to
posterity. In almost every county
in the State there are such organi
zations and we of Colleton should
not be behind.

TETTER INK.
II. S. Hood. Rcllaire, Mich., says:
“For sixteen years I have been a continued sufferer from Itching Piles. For five years 1 could
not lay down save flat of my back, and for weeks of that time I never lay down at all; sat up in
my rocking chair at nipht. Last February, I was in Chicago: I went to the Economical Drug Co„
on State street, and asked a clerk to give me the best he bad for the trouble. He sold me a box
of Tetterine. 1 came back to my home in Northern .Michigan, and iess than half the box made a
complete cure of the trouble. That was five months ago. and there is still no signs of the itching
re-appearing. It feels so good to think that after all these years of suffering. 1 have rt last found
a cure. Tetterine is a marvelous remedy.”
