The French republic is doing a
brave thing in doing justice to
Dreylus at last?a thing that will
elevate it infinitely in the estimation
of the justice loving por
tion of the human race.?Atlanta

To give some idea of the enor
nous wealth of John D. Rockefeller,
the richest man in the
world, it has been estimated that
if he were to give away $100,000
a day and live twenty-five years
yet, he couldn't give away his
fortune, but would leave enough
to make all his heirs as rich as
any one has a right to be in any
well regulated country. And
yet, if Rockefeller happens to
give $100,000 to some college
occasionally, the papers all over
the country are at, once blowing
his great philanthropy.?Monroe
Eoq uirer.
Christmas was first celebrated
in the year 98, but it was 40
years later before it was officially
adopted as a Christian festival;
nor was it until about the fifth
eentury that the day of celebra
lion became permanently fixed on
the 25th of December, up to that
time it had been iriegularly oh
served at various times of the
year?in December, in April and
in May, but most irequently in
January.
The "industrially educated"
negro is yet destined to be a
blessing, ll in disguise, to the
south. lie has been "industriously
educated" and he iudustriously
avoids work and his absence
from the cotton patch has
so decreased the cotton crop as to
advance the price to 12^ cents a
pound and still higher later.
It is Christmas eve. Great
crowds are here. Men are sober,
not a drunken man to be seen
any where. Goods are being
bought and carried home to wives
:and children by men who would
be spending their money for
liquor, if there was a dispe i
or barrooms here. This is the
best time we have ever seen in
"Monroe on Christmas eve, so far
as drunkenness is concerned. Not
a single arrest has been made.
Last Christina* eve hundreds of
dollars were spent in the dispensary
and men went home reeling
drunk. Say what yon may about
?
prohibition, it's ft good thing? .
Monroe Enquirer.
In sharp contrast with this was
the sale in Lancaster's dispensary
on Christmas eve ot $1,050 worth
o; liquors.

H'riyhrtl to Christmas*
Up to Christmas 9,665 bales
of cotton had been weighed by
Mr. Nisbet, against 10,275 up
to same time last year. This
leaves a shortage of 610 bales
up to that time.
The total number of bales
weighed hist season was 11,500. fc
To get that much this season J
will require 1835 bales more to
come in. Mr. Nisbet thinks he
may probably get 1,000 more.
If he does, that will loavo a
shortage of 835 bales.
