UNION, S. C., DECEMBER 2i?, 1?*>. | co
In the r.ew century discussion we df
find brother against brother father or
against son, different members of yt
firms against each other, it is a qu- s- bt
tion upon which households are di- se
vided, but all discussion is in a fii
friendly spirit, and is a relief to the re
monotony. So that no misund?-r- \v
standing may aris ?, i will state that m
I am holding up" the end of the (Ms- hi
cussion in favor of 19C0,"r.nd that my ot
views on this question are not intend- tv
cd to represent thoso of any one hut in
myseif. We are having lots of fun i e<
out of it. any way, ami no harm done | in
eo long as we keep our shirts on. I c.

Tho Times gives its readers 52 full b(
issues for their dollar, and we got a bf
few days for Xrnas besides. lo
Mr. M. W. Ilaiiey authorizes us to
state that lie is fo well p1 eased with Tie '
Times that'he cannot possibly do with- t?
out. it. Thanks friend llai'ny. Yon bf

jnuBBmnMMvuc th
t?ome of tlie friends of tho X ea- Hi
v.lfnii (Innnl in both ltall?.i nn.l . 1 <
ale, are determined to try to push ?: fj
bill providing for the construction of yc
the Canal through at this session of lv
Congress, without uniting for 'lie pf
report of the Cunal Commission yc
which will not be nnub* for at le .s' re
a year. It is perfectly well under- fi;
flood, as it was at. the time, that the sc
solo object in view when the Canal nc
Commission was legislated for by er
Congross, was to delay legislation for re
a Canal. It is also believed that e st
majority in both House and Senate as
would vote for a bill to construct a m
Canal, if given" an opportunity to do c<:
so, but, owing to the approach of 'he be
Presidential campaign, and the f tct or
that large appropriations for othei tli
purposes, will bo absolutely nens n
sary, it is^very doubtful whether the id
leaders will allow a ctmul bill to be cl
voted on at ibis session; they will m
quiet those who would like to v^t n(
for ihe bill by telling thein that little w
time will be lost by waiting until the fii
neqt session, when the report of the dt
Canal Commission will be ready. g

. V mnj and Mr. Wm. Jeffries each ?
ike issue with us on tho position w* 1
iok in last issue regarding the new j

Mr. Seaife Buys "the first 5W"> day- f
ter the birth of Christ was the ll.---' 1
mr of the Christian Era." This i
irreet, and our argument exactly. '
i e (
tat year one was rot. year one unli.
icse 51G3 days hud elapsed, then '
hrist was one year old and iho fignr
was recorded, aud showed that 12 r
onths of the Christian Era had
issed, and was not yet to be mud ;
10 next 12 months completed the
?ur 2 and it was so numbered. Thu?. [
e hold that the lupse of time is i irded
in cardinal numbers. Ther - -t
re his next statement, that the fir I t
ly after Christ's birth was year on . <
ic day fulls because, there was ; > J
>ar until OGb days had elapsed. T! ,
ginning must start at the m nidi (
pa rating B. C. from A. I). The ?
st montli was January, A. lb, F. ' - ,
uiry, A. D., etc. Tho next Janun t
as 1 aod January, or January 1.
enning that the cardinal nuinbfr i 1
id been recorded m d January i d - *

ru and the first day after roe >rd . j,

5 months later 101 w..s ive .r i- i
I, etc. When we began iis'.n^ Is.
ic first day of January after 1700 j

and pick up 19 which will hrv: to 1

tforc we can drop it. It docs i ot "
ok reasonable that we should bm ?
w one year from 1900's dating to
ilsh up ISOO's work. This oug'
show tliat (he years were not no lowed
until they were made, initio r j J
re tho centuries, nor the nr'e [
