departure, all wish him the fulfillment
01 the successful business career
the future seems to hold out to
him.
We have tried hard to get the
names of visitors coming and going
during the holidays, but it is a difficult
undertaking; so, if any one is
omitted, it is our misfortune rather
than our fault. 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. '
