"In men whom men condemn as ill,
I find so much of goodness still;0
Inmen whom MEN pronounce divine,
I find so much of sin and blot?
I hesitate to draw the line
Between the two?where God has not."

A woman's just cause is often
"just because".
During the entire year of 1H12
'only one white man, Samuel Hyde,
of Anderson county, paid the
death penalty for murder. Probably
he would have gotten off, too,
but for the fact that he not only
\
made no effort to save himself.

With sincere regret we learn of
the death of Editor J M McXaull.of
the Winnsboro News and Herald,
which sad event' occurred Tuesday
night, December 24, after an'illness
of ten days of pneumonia Although
comparatively a new recruit
to the ranks of newspaperdom, Mr
McXaull had sh vn lx>th energy
and ability arid the improvement in
every department of the News and
' Herald was st 'ikingly noticeable under
his management.
The attorneys of T U Vaughn,
the former superintendent of the
Odd Fellows' orphanage at Green
ville.who by his own confession was
guilty of shocking immoralities ,
while in charge of the orphans' 1
home, have appealed for a new trial J
for their client. To read the "ex
ceptions" on which the plea is y
'v based one not familiar with the 1
circumstances of the case might be 1
led to suppose that the little orphan ^
? girls had seduced the pure and immaculate
Mr Vaughn. #
A Pleasant Entertainment. 1
On Thursday evening, January 2, (
Miss Carrie Scott entertained some f
of the young folk of the town with .
an "At Home" given at the resi- j
dence of her aunt, Mrs M F Heller,
in Academy street. The lower floor
was most tastefully decorated with j
holly, smilax and the new year bells.
The evening was spent mosjl pleas- ^
antly in music, laughter, small talk
and a "riddle contest". Miss Re- f
becca Nettles and Mr Robert Kirk, J
' Jr.won the prizes. Before the "hour
\
of departure the guests were ushered
into the dining-hall,where a dainty
course of sweets was served.

Dulles for the New Year*
Jditor County Record:?
Our duty to cur Maker and our
?llow-inan?
"Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts in Christian love,
The fellowship of kindred minds
Is like to that above." #
The new year has come, bright
nd beautiful, and may the Sun of
ighteousaess shed abroad His light
pon us and grant that 1913 may be
year blessed to us with good
joughts and deeds. This article is
i forgiveness and giving. How
;glectful are we in obeying the
>mmands of our Creator! Satan
ie3 to keep us from seeing our
mdition and, alas! succeeds too ofin
and lulls us into a state of selrity,
whereas, if we could .see ourlves
as we really are, we would
ideavor to arouse ourselves from
lr lethargy.
We sometimes seem to follow the
ecepts of the dark ages, "an eye
ir an eye and a tooth for a tooth.,'
lere are some churches in our land |
whirK snmp nf thp mpirihers are
i much at variance that they have
riously injured the church. I
link it would be far better to let
ir grievances be passed over rather
an that they should reflect on the
lurch. If we would view these matrs
in the light, of eternity they
ould appear trivial indeed. It rely
makes very little difference what
said about us so long as we our- '
Ives are living such lives as we
e not afraid for the bright sun to
ine upon. It does seem wonderful '
at we, called after the name of
irist, and even taking the holy sacment,
can harbor such feelings in I
ir hearts towards our felbw-man. 1
le religion which we. profess to
llow is not strife and confusion,
it peace and joy. Even Abraham,
avid, Peter and Paul had many
ults, and we must not therefore
hasty in judging our neighbor.
Can we blame the world for
offing at the church? Far better J
auld it be to remove our names
om the church book than to bring *
i
j
shame upon it; erase our names
from the roll if we will not erase
envying, jealousy, backbiting from
our hearts and tongues. A certain
gentleman,high'in church and State,
ViorJ onirr-jvorl in tho woodwork of
... _
the table at which he sat to transact
business the words: "Speak not
evil of tne absent." We often hear,
"I don't speak to this one or that
one." Let us look at these things as
they are reflected from eternity's
light and from "beyond the sunset's
radiant glow." Really the prize
which we would all like to receive is
worth too much to be thus lightly
set aside. "And hereby we do know
Him, if we keep His commandments,"?I
John ii, 3,
I will now proceed to write about
giving, or expressing it in the exact
meaning, in a |mall way returning
what has been so lavishly poured
out upon us. The Jews in ancient
times gave a tenth of their posses
[ sions to the Lord, and I believe a
Rood many Christians in our times
keep up that practice, but some of
our people seem to think it a great
hardship to give of their means to
the church. Before going any further
let us imiflress this upon our
minds, that "the earth is the Lord's
and the fullness * thereof," and that
Christ loves the church and gave
Himself for it. We are admonished
throughout the Bible to give liberally,
and I think where there is a
dearth of giving there is a dearth of
religion. It has-pleased Him to ac*
cept our offerings as a part of our
worship, and we should feel it to lie
a privilege indeed that He lets us
help to extend His kingdom on earth.
The influence of" the church is so
I far-reaching in its inspiring and civilizing
power for good that we should
consider it not only a duty but an
honor to contribute to its support.

ica were closed, and all the institutions
proceeding from and dependent
on the church be done away
with, could we think of anything
worse that could happen to us?
Think of the missionaries in those
far-off lands,who have done so much
towards giving them the light of
civilization. Think of Japan, China
and other countries. Can we find
better examples of the work of the
church? "Honor the Lord with thy
substance and with the first fruits
of thine increase."?Frov 111, y.
