THURSDAY. JAN. 1.1907
Senator Tillman still insists that!
President Roosevelt did wrong in
dismissing the negro regiment for,
shooting up a Texas town. To read ,
the evidence of the outrages perpe- j
trated on a helpless and unoffending ;
people by this regiment, which [
reached a climax in the {.indiscrimi-1
nate lootiug and slaughter of unoffending
citizens it is hard to see
how auyone could blame the president
for dismissing the negroes comprising
the regiment without honor
when they refused to disclose the
names of their guilty comrades.
Tillman mav have reasons for his
view that will satisfy the Yankees
who are criticising Roosevelt aud from
whom the Pitchfork Senator is raking
iu the shekels lecturing between
'the reverberations of his thunder in
the senate, but to convince his
Southern constituents to the belief
that the president erred iu the matter?that
is another thing. He may
be able to do so, but we doubt it.
A Chicago divine is quoted as
saying that if Christ should come to
earth again oue of the first things
t?An 1<| do would he te abolish

Christmas. According to the way
the sacred holiday is observed, or
-"celebrated,'' in too many instances,
there is much ground for the
preacher's dictum. As a day of rejoicing
it is well to commemorate
~ the anniversary of the Savior of
Mankind, but when that rejoicing
takes the form of gluttony or Bacchanalian
revelry it suggests the
' orgies held in the name of the pagan
-deities of Home and Greece rather
than the simple life of the meek and ,
lowly Jesus. 1
The published statements of the 1
six banks of Williamsburg county,
which appear in this week's issue,
show deposits, all told, amounting
to over $325,000, which discloses in i
the most convincing way the fact <
that despite the prevalent cry of j5
hard times our county is far from '
being "broke'' yet. These reports j j
all speak for themselves and arej(
worthy of careful attention on the <
yart of our readers. Without mak-: J
ang auv invidious comparisons we
may say that the two banks that ad- ]1
vertise i;i The Record the year '
round make a showing that, all
things considered, they deserve to be! (
congratulated upou as reflecting j1
much credit on the business meth- :
ods of those at the helm.

XMAS AT DOCK.

Dock, December 29:?Well,
Mr Editor, after a absence of
more than a year I will once
more try to give you a few
"Dots from Dock." The merry
Yule-tide is about over and
things are settling-down to the
even tenor of their way again.
Notwithstanding the intense
cold the young folks around
succeeded in haviDg quite a gay
time.
On Monday evening, December
17, at the home of the bride, by
Rev ST Russell, Mr Willie Cooper
and Miss Purla Brockinton
?"? ? hnr*r*il\7 united in the holv
TWV. J
bonds of wed-lock. We extend
to the happy couple hearty congratulations
and hope that their
matrimonial bark may glide
peacefully down the sea of life,
wafted by the gentle breezes of
love.
Mr S H Cooper, who has
been in Georgetown for the past
year returned bete a few days
ago. He says after all, there's
no place like old Williamsburg.
Several young folks came
home for Xaas and lots went off
to spend the holidays. I am
unable to give all the names as I
do not know from whence they
all came or whither they went.
The young men of this community
gave a tournament on
Christmas day, but on account
A tbeextremn cold rather a
small crowd was present. As the
wind blew so hard it was almost
in-i*-krkcciM?? t:ilr?> nn v rin?r<s .nnrl

?ven the very best riders got
:>nly a few. However, the day
passed off very pleasantly and
ill present seemed enjoy it.
There were about 12 knights
riding and when the contest was
over it was found that Mr
Johnnie Rhem had won first
prize. He crowned Miss Edith
Uraham queen of love and
beaut}*. Mr Louie Nesmith came
in for second prize and crowned
Miss Mattie Graham tirst maid
of honor. The third prize went
to Mr G B Nesmith, wh# being a
married man, gave the wreath
to his brother, Mi Silas Nesmith,
who crowned Miss Carrie Cooper
second maid of honor. Thus
?ided the tournament and we all
went our way rejoicing".
Wishing The Record its editor
and all its readers a happy,
lappy new year, I will ring off.

I Some New Year Reflections.
Jay, January 1:?Mr Editor, a
nothing has apj>eared in The Record
from Jay for a quite while
will you allow me space for a shor
letter? Xmas has gone, to retur
not until December next. Notwith
standing the very cold weathei
he holidays were enjoyed. I hop
you enjoyed them, Mr Editor.
The old year of 1906 is now
thing of the past and already th
' new year, full of hope and prouti:
to some, and of weary despair t
others, is well upon us. How man
brave resolutions were made at ii
beginning, but to be broken at ii
' en ling it was impossible to tei
[ But we think this yearly resolve t
do better and be better is somethin
J of itself.
This yearly turning over of a ne
leaf, the vearlv determination t
" grow out of any beyond self hi
somethrg to do with the worl
growing better, as we think it i
gradually doing. Standing 011 th
threshold of the new year we lool
in'o the shadowy future and see our
selves occupying dizzy heights o
the ladder of civilization. For w
dare to presume that with de term in
ation we shall climb the hill of pre
gresa with rapid gait, in the light 0
1 this wonderful twentieth centur;
Let good fellowship bridge the seas
whether they be of water, or of en
mity, of unfriendliness, of spite, o
malice or hate. Life is not wortl
bickerings; it is not worth bitter
ne.sjbut it is worth the whole sun
of love, of forgiveness, of generosity
Let us remember nothing the dea<
year brought ns, save that whicl

stouter hearts push on to greater anc
grander heights,
j Good wishes with a happy nev
year to you, Mr Editor.

Those who desire to pay their taxes
through the mail, would expedite matters
by dropping tne Treasurer a postal
asking for the amount of their tax so as
to avoid sending the wrong amount,
also stating the township or townships,
(if property is owned in more than one)
anu if possible give school district where
property is located, also state whether
poll or road tax, or both arc wanted.
After paying taxes examine year receipts
and see if all of your property is
covered, if not, see about it at once.
By following the above suggestions
complications and additional cost may
be avoided.
