SALEM.
Salem, Dec. SO.?Christmas passed
off very quietly here. Many thought it
very Sunday-like while others spent
the time hunting. \ The fire works
seemed to be unusually poor. So
there was no spec al racket from this
source.
Several a -cidentis have occurred, but
no lives lost. The most serious acci?
dent of the season occurred on Satur?
day afternot n, while Allen Titus, col?
ored, accidentally shot himself in the
left side with a load of No. 6 shot. The
boy'* statement of the shooting is
that he was playing (pranking) with
his gun in the house of Matilda James
where he had gone, or stopped In
while hunting, and the gun was acci?
dentally dlschar?"'' in his own hands.
From the nature . the wound, the
most natural conclusion one could ar?
rive at. Is that he and the other chil?
dren, who were in the house, were
perhaps trying to take the gun from
each other.
The wound slants -downard, else
there would have been no use of a
physician's service. Tho wound is se?
rious snd may pr>vs fatal. It can be
said of him that he is a very good boy,
and worthy of any attention he re?
ceives.
The new year will be ushered in

GOVERNMENT REPLIES TO THE
ST\NDAR1VS PROTEST.
The Rig Fine is Ju*t Declares Hie Gov?
ernment's Rcpresciitntlvvc anil
There Wns Discrimination hy Com?
pany.
Washington, Dec. 29.?The bureau
of corporations has Issued a belated
reply to James A. Moffalt. president
of the Standard Oil company of In?
diana, who declared at the time of the
fine of $2^,240.000 was imposed
against hiS company by Judge Landis
that it was not justified, ks there was
no discrimination involved in the late
paid on the shipment of the oil from
Chicago to east Sf. Louis and that the
action of the court was based on a
mere technical violation of law. j
Commissioner Herbert K'nox Smith
presents a statement of facts in op?
position to this view, not only to show
that a discrimination was practiced,
but that it was practiced with the
knowledge of the Standard Oil com?
pany and of the Chicago & Alton ^rail?
road. Referring to Mr. Moffatt's
statement the commissioner says- j
' Apparently his position is that, be?
cause no one else is known to have
paid the published 18-cent late from
Whiting to east St. Louis while M<
company was paying C cents, there?
fore there was no discrimination. On
the contrary, this very situation
proves that not only was there dis?
crimination, but that this discrimina?
tion had worked out its logical end
so that no one could ship nt 18 cents
In compentition with the Standard'*
??ccnt rote. Precisely this, and other
secret discriminations in shipments
from Whiting, produced that com?
plete state of monopoly In the vlcln- j
Ity of Chicago which the Standard
now calmly designates as 'absence of
discrimination.' ]
"This rate was a 'rebate* in essence
if not in form, and both in esssence
and in form It was a discrimination of
the most severe and successful
form."
The per cent, rate given In the un
flled ' special billing orYlor," he says, I
was no notice to any one of the un- I
published 6-cent rate, "nor," he ad'is, I
"was it Intended to be."
In conclusion the commissioner J
says:
' This Alton rate, therefore, was
substantially a rebate; was the most
effective kind of discrimination be
cause it killed out all competition;
was secret and was concealed by se- j
cret methods; Is sought to be justified I
only by another like pecret rate which I
also was covered by secret methods; J
was only one of a great system of J
discriminatory rates practically cov- I
erlnjj the country, which the rail?
roads dare not maintain In the light
of publicity, and in its ingenuity, se?
crecy and complete effectiveness con?
stitutes as extreme a violation of both
the letter and spirit of the anti-re?
bate laws as could well b? imagined.
"The Standard undersold competi?
tors in the great South ?ser t by means I
of this * cent rate to the St. Louis
gateway and having undersold them
and driven them out of that territory
it then raised prices to a monopoly
figure, so that its markeilnt; concern
there was making over 600 per cent,
on Its capital stock In IVO!, and for a
long series of years its profits had
been extortionately high.
The^e profits were tlus based on
this secret discrimination which had
been in existence 15 years. The en
loyment of this discriminatory rate
was worth many million* of dollars to
the Standard, and most emphatically
justified the Imposition of a great fine
when that rate was flnailv discovered
and conviction was secure:! thereon."
NO MENACE TO JAPAN.
Nippon Is Making Desperate Effort
to Put Her Forces on \*ar Foot?
ing.
Army and Naval Journal.
It Is an open secret that Japan Is
making vigorous efforts to put her
army and navy upon a war footing;
for what reason the future will dis?
close. Japanese expenditures of money
for war material certainly go far be?
yond the alleged purpose of repairing
the ravages of war.
One of two theories must be ac?
cepted. The first Is that this war
preparation in the East threatens our
security. That being the case our
fleet should be In the Pacific as soon
as possible and without delaying a
day for more complete preparation.
There is a decided disposition
shown in some quarters to pick every
possible flaw In tne design and work?
manship of our existing battleships.
This critical disposition would be
more open to objection were It not
for the fact that the real character of
our battleships is well known to the
Jupanese and that they have a much |
better opportunity than we have to
compare them With their own ships.
Assuming on the other hand that
the loving disposition the Japanese
are said to have, by those who know
little about It, to he showing to us n
cast Of genuine affection or altrustle
regard f<>r the security and pro perlt)
of the American Republic, there can
in* nothing very alarming in vending
oui Anest reasels where they can to tl
fy to our ability to meet aggression If
undertaken. There cannot be the
slightest suspicion in Japan or any?
where else in the world that we mean
any offense to Japan, except it be in
the columns of newspapers seeking
occasion for offense against the pres?
ent administration. There can by no
possibility by any motive ascribed to
us that would suggest a warlike diet
position. Not only have we every
motive to maintain the peace, but be?
hind the administration are the peo?
ple who would not tolerate any ag?
gressive act or aggressive disposition
on the part of cur strenuous presi?
dent. Let us hope that this is squally
true of Japan. If so, the advent of
the fleet in Pacific waters will only
strengthen the bond of peace between
us.
Whether they favor or oppose the
present cruise of Admiral Evans* fleet,
every officer and man of that fleet
will do with loyal zeal whatever he
can to make that cruise a success. We
believe that apart from the disturb?
ance in domestic and other conditions,
which means discomfort, the youngest
men of the fleet look forward to it
with pleasure, if not with enthusiasm.

NEW STATE LEAGLE.
Sumter, Florence, Orangeburjr, Cam
den, Rock Hill, Chester to be In?
cluded.
There is going to be a South Caro- I
Una State League during the season of
1908. The information comes from I
Sumter, one of the towns in the league J
that will be formed and a member of j
the former State Leagues for the past J
two seasons.
The towns that will most probabl> I
be in the new league are as follows: I
Sumter, Orangeburg, Camdcn, Flor- I
ence, Chester and Rock Hill. The
first named two towns have been in
the State league since its formation
and last year came In one and two or- J
der in the pennant race. Camden was
In the league the first years of it-J
existence and came out in the lead
with Guy Gunter at the helm of the J
club's affairs. Guy also got a bunch I
together for the Sumter club last yea: j
that came second to none In the rush I
after the pennant. |
Florence Joined the State league las
season after Darlington gave up her I
franchise and remained to the end o*
the season. The people In Florence J
have been very anxious for a long time I
to have the national game in theiv
city In organized form . As to the j
other towns both of them wished to I
have league teams last year and It I
was thought that Rock T lilt would!
even then be a member of the league, j
The Sumter aggregation, It Is stated j
will be ready when the time for the 1
opening of the season is at hand. Sec- j
reary Farrell, It was further stated, j
had written to the Sumter club that I
all players on the list last year could j
be reserved for the coming season, j
There were 14 players with the Sum- I
ter team at the close of the season and I
these are retained by the management I
for the season of 1908. The same I
would be true of the other three towns I
that were In the State league at the I
close of the season of 1907.
The State league, composed of the I
towns mentioned above, is practicallj j
an assured fact. According to In?
formation obtained direct from one of I
the officials of the league all but two j
of these towns had put up the neces- I
sary forfeit money and have pl2dge?i
to be members of the reorganized I
State league.
The people of the State are very I
much Interested In the State league
and all the fans are anxious for it to j
be going again next year. Last season I
the race for the pennant in the South J
Carolina league was closely followed I
by the lovers of the great national j
game. The class of baseball put up 1
in the games was of a high order and
many of the State league players I
could land In higher company.
Th< four managers of the teams j
?.hat were in th?t league when the sea- J
son wound up were: Guy Gunter, of
the Sumter club. Frank Moffett. Flor?
ence; John McMakln, Spartanburg.
and Carbon Buesse, of Orangeburg.
Gunter is now In Sumter, where he Is
engaged In business, but the opening
of the season will no c]oubt find him
With the Came Cocks of the State
league. Moffett, who brought tin
Chattanooga team to this State for the
Florence club last year, is at his
home in Knoxvllle. Beusse is down In
Georgia, where he has | farm near
Athens and McMakin is n Spartan?
burg. which town is now a m< mber of
the new North and South Carolina
league.
The towns that will probably make
up the circuit are so placed on the
map ?hat the Jumps will he ?hon and
therefore expenses will be cut down
considerably. The league should be a
success from every standpoint.- Th<
State.
MOTTOES OX MONEY.
France Ahead of 1 loose wit m Erasing
Words of Pletjr.?Maxime Uaed on
Papal Coins.
(From the New York Tribune.)
President Rooaevelt is not the only
head of a government who in recent
years has caused the removal of the
motto on the coin of his country. The
men who are ruling France in ihe
earlier part of this year decreed that
the exhortation "Dieu protege la
France!" (God protect France) shall
not appear on the coins of the French
Republic to be minted henceforth, as
It does on the present coins. The ex?
planation for France's action m the
matter may be found in the fact that
the European republic is at present
under the absolute regime of radicals
and anti-religionists, who have rele?
gated everything pertaining to the
Bible or religion to the backgrourd.
President Roosevelt's actiDn, accord?
ing to a statement given out at the
White House was inspired by feelings
of reverence for the words "In God
We Trust" and his opinion that the
placing of the same on coins tends to
cheapen it.
In this connection it may be of in?
terest to know that for conturies the
Popes expressed in Eiblical phrases or
moral sentences*, lessons of charltj
or kindness in the legends stamped on
their coins. These coins have been
out of circulation for a long time, but
the Popes evidently believed that the
Instruments of charity should be re?
garded as preaching a sermon on
charity.
It would be impossible to relate here
more than a few of these brief ser?
mons which the Popes preached to
the people over whom they ruled and
which undoubtedly contributed to the
exercise of the virtue of charity which
was thus so universally inculcated.
The inscriptions are all in Latin, and
each almost fills the reverse side of
the pieces, whether gold or silver.
"There is no one wickeder than the
miser," is the pronouncement made
by a gold scudo (or crowrn) of Pope In?
nocent XI, who filled the Papal chair
from 1676 to 1689.
Another coin of the same Pontiff ,a
half scudo in value, says, "The miser
will not be filled," and still another
bears the phrase, "The things pre?
served perish."
And of how little use money will be
when the curtain falls on life is
brought home to the minds of most
men by the warning that speaks from
coins of Innocent XI: "They will not
profit thee In the day of Judgment."
The pontificate of Innocent XI, thougn
only 13 years in duration, seems to
have been rich in the variety and
beauty of the sayings on the coins is?
sued. "He that loves gold will not be
saved" is the motto cn a golden crown
and another reads, "He who trusts in
riches will fail." The same Pontiff
.'.sks: "What doth it avail a man?
What doth it avail a fool?" and the
question, meeting you on a coin, has a
vpedal directness that one cannot
avoid.
Innocent XII speaks touchingly to
those whose hearts are fixed on the
accumulation of wealth when, on a
coin of about two francs nominal
value he says, "Let it not be to thy
perdition." And the effect of avarice
on the mind is admirably suggested
by the words of another coin of the
same Pope. "Money has no color for
the avaricious." The money grabber
Is universally denounced. "Who is
poor? The miser," is the question
and answer which another coin gives.
"What I have I give to thee," is the
phrase on another coin on which is
represented St. Peter healing the lame
man. The bearer of the coin may not
be able to heal otherwise than by giv?
ing what he has. Another pertinent
question Is asked on one of these
pieces of money, "But these things
which thou ha*-t gathered, whose will
they be?" Such a question must raise
serious considerations in the minds of
thoughtful men.
But the owners of money are rec?
ommended to bestow it well. Clem?
ent XI on a golden Julius says, "Let
it abound to the glory of God." When
rightly employed money may do much
good, and this Is declared by Clement
X on the coin which bears this pro?
nouncement, "It diminishes evil and
increases gOv>d."
And on another coin a generous
giver is described. "He hath opened
his hand to the needy." "Do not for?
get the poor" is the recommendation
on the coins of two Pontiffs. A piece
of the value of 6 cents bears this in?
scription, "A little to the just." and
on a much smaller coin is the truism.
"It hurts less." "Forbid that I should
glory save In Thee" was the motto on
the coin or medal of Pius V which was
made a memorial of the battle of Lep
anta. "He who gives to the poor will
not wait" is a consoling reflection, as
it suggests that the reward of the
just will be bestowed soon on the
charitable man. "Use moderately like
a man" is a saying that awakens uni?
versal response,
That it may be given," tells the
purpose for which tin coin was struck
that is to say, to be passed >n to
those In want. "He buds to ihr Lord
who has mercy on the poor" is the in?
scription on a silver piece of about 10
? '
cents nominal value.
The motto, "E Pluribus Unum," 4
never authorized by law to be placed
on the coins of the United States,
first appeared on an American coin in
17S6. There was no United States
mint then, and, in fact, no United
states, the constitution forming the
Union not having as yet been adopted.
There was? a private mint at Xewburg,
X. Y., and "E Pluribus Unum" was
first placed on a copper coin struck at
that mint. Few collections have speci?
mens of this coin, and it is k ? luable.
In 1787 a New York goldsmith
coined a piece of money which wa?^
known as "the 16-dollar gold piece,
and upon it the motto was stamped in
this form: "Unum E. Pluribu .'*
Only four of these coins are known
to be In existence. They are valued
at more than $2,000 each. New Jer?
sey Issued various copper coins inl
1787 with the motto stamped upon 1
them. A great many of the early^
coins, before there was any legal au?
thority for national coinage, were
made in England. Most of these were .
copper and were coined for different
states, and all bore tie words "Hi
Pluribus Unum."
The United States mint was estab?
lished in 1792. but the use of the na?
tional motto cn any of the gold, silver
or copper coins was not authorized or
directed by any of the provisions of
the act establishing It. The motto re-/l
mained on the early gold and silver*
coins until 1834, when it was omitted
from the gold coins. In 1836 it was
omitted from the 25-cent pieces and
in 1837 from all silver coins. It was
not stamped on any coin again until
It appeared on the nickel and the ^
standard silver dollar. <f
The words "In God We Trust" were
first placed on the 2-cent piece,
which came into the subsidiary coin?
age in 1866. The motto was placed
there by direction of James Pollock,
then Director of the United States
Mint at Philadelphia, and not by any1
legislation of congress authorizing the
minting of the 2-cent piece. The mot?
to was subsequently stamped on the
silver half and quarter dollars.

Charitable Institution to b * Founded
by Head of Christian ScIctk-o
Church?Healing to b?? Taught
There.
Boston, Dec. 27.?Details of th^
plans of Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy,
head of the Christian Science church,
in relation to the charitatle institu?
tion which she is to found, are con?
tained In an editorial by Archibald 'jj
McLellam In the current Issue of the^
Christian Science Sentinel. V
The editorial says In part:
"Mrs. Eddy has consented that the
Institution which she purposes to
found shall bear her name, therefore
it yvill be known as Mary Baker G.
Eddy's charitable fund.' The board /
of directors will be located In Boston, %
the recognized headquarters of the
church, and in plan and scope this
fund will be an educational opportu?
nity by which indigent persons will
be taught gratuitously the science of
the Christ healing as practiced by Je?
sus and as made known through the ^
writings of Mrs. Eddy. The sum of
$1,000,000 will be devoted to this solo
purpose.
"Mrs. Eddy's benevolence will b*;
open to all those Individuais who are
genuinely interesred In Christian
Science lor Its truth's sake and who j
shall present to the ooard or directors
of the fund satisfactory certificates
of the indigence, their religious views
and their moral character. The stu?
dents of Christian Science will be
maintained by this fund until such
time a-5 the board of directors shall
have pronounced them good heaWs *
of the sick, and deliver to them certif?
icates to this effect. The beneficiaries
of this lund and the families of those
who have families are to be supported
trom the Income of the fund and the
number of students and their farpf?e*
