Thoughts for Christmas.
We are searing the twenty-fifth of Decem
ber. A few more SODS will rise and set a cd
the birthday of the Son of God will be here.
The palpation of every heart quickens with
pom and boiter emotions aa the mighty an?
niversary approaches. Already the song of
the angels "Peace on earth good will toward
meut" pears its inspiring note of peace and
charity into every hamane toni. Even now
we catch a glimpse of love's great objwt
lesson : The Manger, tbs Kingly Babe with
the halo of glory arpa sd Bis Sacred Head.
Tbs simple announcement from tbs lips of
the inspired historian, "Now the birth of
^Jesus Christ was on this wise" followed by
toe sweet story of the incarnation now faint?
ly reaches the ear of "the listening earth."
Yee, the purpling tints of another Christmas
nora bi,ve nearly gathered on the eastern
horizon. Like the "Indian Sommer," whieb,
in oar Soother a clime, bringa i mp ros pta
spring ia the midst of dreary winter, so
Christmas a very breath from heaven diasi*
pates for a season with its sopernal warmth
the coldness and selfishness of earth. The
stream of benevolence and charity, which now
poors its Mood-tide of love over oar land, has
its. rise beyond the doods. As we contem?
plate that scene is Bethlehem every corroding
care, everv anxious forethought becomes
absorbed in the immortal possibilities which
it suggests. Nothing can dim the brightness
and joyousness of this great festival. Sven
the sadness at the absence of some departed
loved sne from oar family gathering finds its
antidote in the sore hope which his bright
season holds oat of eternal reunion. Not
poverty nor wast sor asy earthly affection
caa chiill the thrill of gratitude which oow
wells in every bosom. The atmosphere of
kindliness which settles down- over earth
could only be wafted from ?he home of God
and tile angels. As oar hearts softeo
ender these inspiring infioenceB tbsy
naturally seek some practical expres?
sion of good will, some vent for their
sympathies. Does merely assh?rog ic pro?
viding a gener?os repast for the poor satisfy
oar Christmas born charity ? Does the angel's
song strike no higher key note than that?
Socs ?petty benevolence alose is as worthy of
the day. Not that we object to this, far from
it ; we commend it most heartily, bot we
conUt.d our heaven-inspired feelings demand
a nobler and more extended range. Per
v chan&i we know the extreme poverty within
a neighbor's home. Pride and a proper self
respect may bare succeeded is screesing tbe
sad troth from general knowledge bat we, a
neighbor, know it. Perhaps the childish
pratt] a of some lamb from that home that
mama said "Santa Ciaos was sot coming to
their home b?casse papa bad debts os
him," may have gives os the first
real hist of the manly struggle within
that home to maintain their honor and good
name at every self-sacrifice. Or oar neighbor
may have takes ss aside and, conscious of
oar confidence, may baye confided to us the
pathetic story of his affairs-may have whis?
pered to us that "the wolf was even now
r,at the door," that be would soon perhaps
"be broken op" (and, ob ! tbe ghastly ap?
propriateness of that awfn! term) : that all
fae woold save from the wreck would he his
bono?. And, he con tinned, be did not know
just what to do-that be had almost gives op
hope, bad it not been for his bravo little
wife :; and bis eye kindled with a look of en-,
coarfigemest as he told ss how that coble
woman, with a reflex of heaveoly glory os
ber poro face which could only have received
its impress from prayerful contact with the
Holy Central Figure of Bethlehem, infused
into 'ais drooping spirits some of a woman's
heroism and bade him cheer up, that things
would brighten.
Oh, bas not the storm of agricultural de?
pression in this section strewn around us
many such noble wrecks ? As you read these
lines does there not rise cp before ycor heart
and ?sind some such sad experience. Perhaps
tbe shades of darkness are deeper in some
theo in others, bat in many a home bow
dreary is the future. As your eye scans your
Christmas list for gifts you read it so careful?
ly to see that no loved one is forgotten, and
wheo yon have read it and reread it yon say
"this ?edades them ell." Does it ? Where
J
is the gold, frankincense and myrrh for Him
Whose birthplace yonder star sheds its lustre j
over. He tells you to whom a gift designed j
for Him may still be given "Inasmuch as ye
have doe unto the least of these my brethren
ye have done it onto Me."
Seek that poor, despairing neighbor (per
baps as old schoolmate). Dwarf not or de?
form, your ooble resolve by any mere tempo?
rary alleviation. Let (,no eartb-born cloud
arise," any unworthy suggestion, that
cbarity begins at home, that you bad prom?
ised never to stand for any one rob your
Lord cf His gift. Generously whisper into
the ear of the poor fellow that yon will aid
him substantially in stsrting out afresh, that
yon will ever stand for bim, and if the re?
sponsibility be too great for you alone get a
few others to assist. Wheo you have done this !
that name which is above every name will
appear npon your Christmas list. Nay more
the record will be elsewhere, tboagh un?
written by an earthly pen. As we turn our ,
eyes to yonder star-lit Hanger so touchingly
suggestive of pity and forgiveness, let us
resolve to deal gently and kindly with each
other. If our poor pen has caused a single
ray of sunshine to shine in some sad brother's
heart at this Christinas time we have our re?
ward and even if oar words have no fruitoge
we have left ns the gratifying conscience of
the impulse which induced ns to make the
attampt. G.
Sumter & Wateres H. S,
Daily Item, Dec. 16.
We are informed that the engineers came
op oo Monday from Charleston and are this
week engaged in taking soundings for pile
drivings over Green Swamp, Cane Savannah
and will go on to Bronson Swamp, and
thence down to the trestltng in Wateree
Swamp to connect with the Camden Branch
B. R. at Middleton Depot. These are of
course the most expensive points of the route,
and should be made perfectly safe, as the
trestles are eo high, that a t?mele over would
be a crash op. The company therefore is
doing the safe tbiog in making a sore foun?
dation for their trestling over all streams.
This gives to ?be public the assurance that
the Railroad Company intends to build a first
class railroad, and no tumble-down affair.
We now have confirmation of the faith
which we have expressed since last spring,
notwithstanding the repeated delays, that our
city and Sumter County will soon have an?
other first class competing railroad to South
Carolina's "City by the ?Sea.*'
Oar people have before projected and in
fact, constructed such competing route, but
somehow it got gobbled up and we remained
"bottled up." We hope and believe that the
Sumter and Wateree Railroad is backed by
such a power, that it cannot be put into the
hands of a receiver by any other railroad
power.
We bave frequently tried to interview Col.
. Blandiog, President of the road as to its
prospects and consummation. Bis only reply
has been "the road will be built, hut 2 rail?
road, however short, can't be built in a day
-wait and see." If be succeeds he will
certainly deserve the gratitude of Sumter
County.

The Dispensary Profits?
Daily Item. E'ec. 15.
Mayor H. F. Wilsoo has; received anjofficial
communication from the State Board ot Coo?
trol informing bim that the County Board of
Control bad been directed to pay over to the
city the share of dispensary profits to which
the city is entitled promptly at the expiration
of each quarter. It bas been the custom of
the County Board to withhold the city's
share for one quarter and not to pay it over
until the next quarter's profits are ia the
hands of the board. Mayor Wilson went
before the State Board a few days ago and
protested against the action of the County
Board and asked that the profits be paid over
to the city without delay. The County Board
has paid the dispensary profits to the county
promptly at the expiration of the quarter,
and Mayor Wilson protested against tba dis?
crimination againet the city : and the order
of the State Board to the County Board
shows that be made out a good case. The
city's ?hare of the profits for the quarter
ending September 30tb, amounting to some
thing more thao $300, will cc? be paid to
the city, instead of remaining iocked up in
the cono ty treasury until January 1st, and
the profits of the quarter ending December
31st will be turned over then instead of
holding them until March 31st.
Daily Item, Dec. 16.
The writer was misinformed in respect to
the coarse adopted by Mayor Wiisoa in se?
caring an order from the State Board of Con?
trol to the County Board to pay over to the
city the dispensary profits at tbe end of each
quarter. The County Board was acting
ander instructions from the State Board in
withholding the profite, and coala not pay
over the profits at the end of each quarter.
Mayor Wilson appeared before the County
Board at its last meeting and presented a
written request that the profits be paid to the
city promptly each quarter. Tbe County
Board informed bim of the order of the
State Board under which the profits were
withheld, bat endorsed bis rcqaett and for?
warded it to the State Board. The order of
the State Board, referred to yesterday, was
the result.
