The House has taken up the Schley matter, and it is very evident that it will do something to rebuke the persecutors of Admiral Schley They ought to he called down for deciding against Schley.

We met more editors on our trip to the Charleston Imposition than we have ever seen together They are all jolly, good nutured fellows and we were glad to be with them. They were universally enthusiastic in their praise of the work already accomplished by the managers of the Exposition, and they are all determined to redouble their eiforts to help push the Exposition along and make It the grandest thing of '/he kind ever seen in the South.

If y'?u feel like you are obliged to get drunk liecause it is Christines, get your whiskey, go nIT frorti town, get in a guily , all by yourself and get on a drunk. Thus you will succumb to v oir matter, your uncontrolable appetite for strong drink, but will have the satisfaction when you come around to yourself of knowing that you have not made an ass of yourself before the public, for which you would have < been ashamed in your sober senses. : Let it alone boys, it is the best plan ' and you will have a better tiine and feel better ocxt morning. -V ??? TI1E CHERRY TREE FRAUD. I We have received h marked copy of The State containing a letter from Mr. J. E. Smith, of Montecello, Fla., in which he calls attention to some papers in South Carolina making ?n attack upon him and his method of doing business. He is the publisher of the O institution. He says his method is perfectly legitimate and ? s clear as that of any one. Ho dots not state what his method is, how ever. We have made no attack upon him or his business. We attacked the cherry tree scheme, with which he probably has no connection. We said it was s scheme that could net work and advised our readers to steer clear of it. And subsequent results, we think fully justifies our warning. We copy (ho following head lints from a long article in the same paper containing the marked article from Mr. Smith, this article contains statements from many prominent citizens of Henrietta, X. 0. The headquarters of the cherry tree scheme, they denounce it as a fraud of the first water. Here are the head lines referred to: "Cherrv Tree Fraud Exposed, Warrants Is j sued for the Arrest of Manipulators. Company's Officers Have Fled. Amos Owens Himself has Nothing to do H ltll It.' This concern was chartered under the laws of North Carolina and an official investigation has been in progress there with the result that the whole business is declared to be a swindle. So you see we were right in warning our readers to steer clear of the cherry tree swindle, but we hav* made no attack upon Mr. Smith, of Florida. Well, we have been to Charleston, nosed around the Expo, and the city, got a sniff of salt air. met. all the quill and pencil drivers of the State, barring a few stay-at-homes, and we had a royal good time with them When you want to have a good time get with a gang of newspaper men, ar.d if you don't have it?well, you just ought to be boxeri up and shipped to one of our new possessions, marked "N G." We were treated with a marked degree of consideration by the newspaper men of the city, by the management of the Exposition, t lie management of theigtreet car line, and by the citizens generally . We were very much pleased with our trip and the bright prospects ahead for the Exposition. The work, while yet In an incomplete condition i- progressing rapidly, and what has been done gives sufficient guarantee that when the buildings are all completed and the exhibits in, this will l/tj uur ??i i nr ^inuurjL mmi.^ ever seen in the South. The site b an ideal one, there is plenty of room, an i the ground is level and with tie cement walks in every direction the sunken garden, the various groupesof statuary scattered throughout the grounds, presents a very pretty picture, to say nothing of the fine bu ldings already finished. If f?ne oar> afford to make two trips to ; Oh'?rleston we would suggest that they go now Hnd then go again ahout March. But if you can only make one trip, it would be better to wait j until March or first of April to go, you will then see it at its best, and you will never regret the expense of the trip. It was a wonderful under- j taking for a city the size of Charles- j ton. and those in charge deserve j great credit for what they have | wrought, this Kxpositlon will redown ! to the credit not only to the manage- j ....

It is for. the benefit of the whole State and every citizen of the State should do i his or her best to make it the biggest I thing evor seen In the South. This ! is what it is going to be unless something slips. The decision of the court of inquiry in the Schley trial has rendered its ' opinion. Admiral Benham and Ham- j sey accuse the gallant Schley of vacilation and dilatoriness in his ' campaign. They are jealous of Schley and his glorious victory. The p"ople of the country have long Hince rendered the verdict in Mini Schley case, and it is more in keep- J ing with Admiral Dewey's report, i He was the Judge before whom the case was heard and he says Schley's blockado was effective and his every act was commendable and he is entitled to all credit due in the glorious victory for which he is responsible, Schley will probAbly appeal from tho finding of the majority.

This duy ! is one that is always looked forward to by both old and young with pleasant anticipations. We never get too old to welcome Christmas. Of course our pleasure now is somewhat dilTeront from what it used to bo, but metliinks it is even greater as we grow older, because we now draw our great . est pleasure in helping to male; others happy. What can give one . more pleasure than to witness the 1 * ; beaming countenances of the rollick- | ing. jolly, noisy children, just, run- i oing over with happiness while t Key I enjoy the goodies of this festive occasion, with their trumphets, drums, harps, tin horns, fire crackers, etc., | they raise merry cain, it is true, while their jaws are doing extra duty olirouching uuts, candy, raisins, apples und oranges, koeping time with the ceaseless din. But who can blame the little tots for all this hilarity. Does it not forcibly recall bygone dnvs, "when you and 1 v\ re j young.'' Let the little on *, have their fu*?. There are in my y< nrs , ahead of them full of cures. -orro^si and he ?r;aohes. when eld'dhnod > gone it can never be reoni o. Let | us g.ve ihc children eudi pu e a:nl happiness as we can. t-h :t t may in future years look back upon that period, with pleasant recollections. Here's to the children. nay this be a Christmas of joy and pie >s ure the like of which they have never before experienced. To those of us who are older, let us see how many hearts we can make glad by deeds of kindness and words of cheer. The more we do to make those around ns happy, the greater our own nieasi re of happiness will be. Jone*ville Jottiugs.
