Christmas day passed off very quiet- a
ly in Kingstree as did also Monday, t
the day following, whea the only^ro/

ervices were held at the churches <

ions. Apparently the Christmas
tocking was well filled and the chil!ren
of the community have had a 1
ery joyous time. Santa Claus was
musually kind to the editor and his
amily and somewhat on this account
ire are inclined to think that he was
[uite generous to our neighbors and 1
he citizens in general.

The Christmas Spirit in Kingstree.
If the only contribution of Jesus
Christ to the world had been the
Christmas Spirit, His life in the flesh
would still have been worthy of Divinity
^kid His cross become the sign
>f the conqueror for all after ages.
It may be that I felt the Christinas
Spirit in Kingstree more than some
>ther men, although I simply touched
he hem of its garment I have five
little folks in my house and ^11 the
time I knew that my home cup of
happiness would be full, but not evert
my imagination had prepared me for
the beauty I saw come out of the

Many days before Christmas, the
Kingstree Kindergarten began to collect
through its fortunate little folks
things that would bring joy into places
svhere not even Hope had been born,
rhe Kindergarteners carried fruits
and confections and toys to their
playhouse and their instructors lovingly
and intelligently filled big paper
sacks with those good things for
other childreii in the county that otherwise
might not have been so blessed
on the Day of the Nativity.
I looked into one of these paper
bags. I saw an orange, an apple, a
bunch of grapes, ?ome nuts, a cluster
of raisins, a package of candy, a
pair of pants for a four year old, and
& big tin horn. I did not look into
any other bag. Perhaps I could see
nc longer. But I followed that one
bag to a hut twenty five miles away
and saw in my mind the one who revived
it And Christmas, while that
little boy blew his horn, the morning
star ceased singing for me.
Seventy eight of the smaller children
of the Methodist Sunday School
in Kingstree each contributed a stocking
in the toe of which its fellow
stocking had been stuffed and the remaining
space filled with good things
to eat and overflowing with a toy.
The first grade of the Kingstree
school gave a great many joy bringers
and individuals, who did not find
about them room enough to give what
they wished, made contributions.
I did not see the thousand and 6ne
things that went straight from hand
to hand and from heart tb heart, but
1 did see what the stwral organizations
in Kingstree turned over to the
Red Cross for distribution. For
everybody knows that the Red Cross
knows where things are most needed
and will-bring the greatest comfort
and blessing.
\ficQ Dnisv Vam assisted hv Miss
Mary Catherine Epps, Dora Harrington,
Elizabeth Fairey, Belva Jenkinson,
Vivian Baker, Grace Kinder,
Flora Smith, Joe Boswell, and others,
illed the Red Cross car full of these
stockings and things many times and
iistributed them all over the county.
[ wonder if these happy little girls,
vho aided Miss Varn, know that the |
ight radiating from the eyes of the
lundreds of little children whom they
lelped to bless will brighten anc
soften and sweeten all their days?
And I wonder if? I
fe, who the Day would celebrate
And honor the Babe all undefiled.
?now there is many a manger be<i
Ye shall find if ye will by His star
be led?
rhat Christ is bom in every child.

Notice to Tax Payers. 11

The following statement is issued J
>y the Acting Collector of Internal
Revenue, W. R. Bradley,, for the 1
district of South Carolina.
Important changes in income lax i
>rocedure, directed by Commissioner !
}avid H. Blair, are embodied in a'
treasury decision effective December,
16, which provides for the prompt;
idjustment of claims for refund and
ibatement of Federal taxes. Here- ' I
ofore when an over assessment or |
iverpayment was disclosed by the j
Ludit of an income tax return, the j j
axpayer was invited to file a claim
or abatement of the overassessment
>r the refund of the overpayment
Vhen received the claim was regisered
and filed away until reached
n due course for consideration,
because of the large number of.
ruch claims filed, delay in adjust-1
oent necessarily resulted. |
After December 15, the taxpayers.
rill not be advised ?f their pRftri-j
%e ef Mr * Ate ftr A itfted
of taxes which have been paid in
excess of amounts logally due, but
instead will receive a certificate of
7
ove reassessment and a check in correction
of the error, or if an overassessment
is outstanding against
the taxpayer for income or excess
profits tax, the overpayment will be
applied as a credit against the assessment,
and the balance immediately
refunded. This will be of dis-,
tinct financial advantage to both the
taxpayer and the Government. It
will do away with the necessity for
fVift fovnonni* filincr o rlflim fnr rP
fund, and will greatly reduce the
amount of work to be done by the
Bureau in the adjustment of claims.
Taxpayers may continue to file
claims for abatement and refund,
but it is expected that the number
of such claims filed each month will
be greatly reduced. Ecorts are being
made by the Bureau to adjust
within six months, all claims now
pending and thereafter to keep the
work current The Revenue Act of
1921 provides that under certain
conditions interest shall be paid upon
claims from the date of the payment
of the tax to the date of the allowance
of the claim. The new proceduie
should greatly reduce the
