Especially have we tried to get the names of all the home coming college students; yet no doubt there were some whose names were omitted. We sincerely thank our friends who have so materially aided us by giving us the names of their guests during the holidays. Christmas In Klngstree. Christmas day in Kinestree was one of the sanest and quietest that has been noted in many years. T\ j 4.1 Li uunng trie eigne ur ten uojo to the 25th our streets were crowded with shoppers and the local merchants did a satisfactory business, ' with perhaps a few exceptions,where toys, fruits and confections were i not on sale. The sale of fireworks was large, especially to people in the country. In Kingstree there . was a total absence of the usual ( noise and din on the streets Christmas eve night, due, perhaps, to the fact that the town council had pass- I ed an ordinance prohibiting the ex- J plosion of fire works. It will be remembered that on Christmas eve night, one year ago, , during the free and rockless use of fire works some wanton wretch indulged in the use of a revolver from \ the opposite of Main street which resulted in the shooting to death of an innocent, inoffensive negro boy who was at the time standing in the doorway of Messrs Jenkinscn Bros Co's store. This dastardly deed, more than anything else, led to the passage and enforcement of the prohibitive ordinance relative to the , use of fireworks on the streets and 1 the result has been most satisfactory' to all advocates of a safe and sane Christmas. So far as we can learn .Santa Claus was very generous in the distribution of toys, candies, fruits, etc, in the homes wherever there were , little children, while among the elders and those who have outgrown , Santa's favors, the spirit of giving i and receiving was thoroughly alive. J On the whole Christmas, 1913, aside j from the inclement weather con- < ditions, was a happy and joyous 1 occasion.
