O Now for another year, a better year; better business, better, cleaner living, higher thinking and holier living. 0 HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ONE AND ALL Christmas has come and gone, and the New Year is here! How the thoughts come crowding one upon one another! What lies wrapped in the lap of Destiny for each one of us this year of grace, What shadows, what sunshine? What joys, sorrows, fortune, misfortune? Thank God, we do not know. Each day must bring its revelation, and one day at a time is the unfolding to come. If we had all our joys for three hundred and sixty-five days crowded into one, it would drive us mad. If we had all our burdens for three hundred and sixty-five days crowded into one day, the weight would crush us forever. Day by day, even moment by moment, we must live. And God gives us strength to meet the calls of each moment. God knows our capacity to bear and our capacity to enjoy, and His wise provision that closes the future from our eyes is one of His greatest mercies. What gladness could one have today if he saw the shadows of the grave resting upon him, the date, and place of the great tragedy revealedIf you knew, kind reader, that on the 80th day of January, 1913, you would he called to enter the shadows of the great unknown, the smile upon your face would vanish and in its place | would come the look of solemnity. If ^ you knew that some one day of the , approaching three hundred and sixty?. five days you would be called upon to \ look for the last time upon the earthly , ly remains of some one you hold as dear as life itself, your happy laugh t would turn to a sob and your light i heart would turn to lead. Thank God f we do not know. How merciful, ? how kind He is to veil the future r from our eyes. And since we do not know, we may go bravely, smilingly f. onward! Faith in the God who f marks the sparrows fall and who i remembers the hairs of the head i ? guide.< us unerringly. We go fourth !' each dav rpsnlvp/i tft Hn VinnooU.r ?? [ task that comes to hand. We go ^ forth armed with faith to the bbt* ties of each day. At the close of the ^ day we withdraw but to rest and get ? ready for another trial at arms the day to follow, f We do not know what a day may . bring forth, but we do know that we may meet its calls in a many fashion. ' We do know that whatever comes we ^ may be found faithful. Faithful to ourselves, our fellows and our God. ft i After all, that covers the whole field of obligations. New Year! New Year! May joy abound for each one of you, kind readers. May sunshine and gladness out rank the cloudy weather and the unwelcome sorrows. May each passing day bring some new token of God's favors and his kindness. May you have the spirit to serve and the ability to render service. With strong faith may you go forth to battle and may the great God give you the victory in the year of grace, 1913. O Kenton Letter. Hear Mr. Editor. Christmas will have come and gone I before the next issue of The Times will be published and read by the people. I hope that the birth of the King of Kin};'? will be celebrated as boon". ' 1> a civilized and Christian people. I hope to see less drunkenness and more love and kindness shown to each other. There is no special news on the Ridge that I have heard of. The first quarterly conference of the Kelton circuit will be held at Bethlehem church next Saturday, the USth inst. There has been recently killed on the Ridge several fine hogs. Mr. J. E. Kelly killed the largest one I have heard of, it weighing 478 pounds. Mr. Editor, your typesetter got my last communication badly mixed up in that part about the Columbia State's editorial of the one Blease voter. There was no sense in it the way it read. Here is what I said in substance: "I see in the Columbia State of recent date that the Editor had found one honest Christian man that voted foi Governor Blease in the August primary. Keep hunting, Mr. Gonzales, mavbe vou can find one more; for out of that mighty army of the children of Israel that left Egypt for the promised land only two was successful in reaching there, so I think there is two honest men out of the seventy odd thousand that voted for Blease. How long before some newspapers will be consistent. Blease may be a bad man but they can never get the people to desert him with such foolishness as that." A Marriage of Interest. A marriage that will surprise their many friends, was that of Miss Bess Summer of Union, and Mr. Horace I. Horton. Jr., formerly of Columbia, which took place in Charlotte, N. C., last Friday evening in the presence of a few friends, at the Episcopal Rectory, the beautiful ring ceremony being performed by Rev. \f ci i 1 1 i not' f Miss Summer had stopped over in Charlotte as she was returning to her home in Union to spend the holidays with her mother, from Little Rock, where she had been teaching. The b*-ide is an alumni of Clifford Sem iry. She has many pleasing traits of character and is one of the most attractive and accomplished young ladies of the state. The groom is a capable and efficient young business man of Charlotte. Mr. and Mrs. Horton have many friends and relatives throughout this and other states who will read of their marriage with interest and extend to them their heartiest congratulations. They are making their home for the present in Charlotte, at 907 West 4th street. Baptist Sunday School Convention.

Report of Commissioner Watson Shows 6,768 Machines in South Carolina. In a statement issued yesterday by E. J. Watson, commissioner of agriculture, commerce and industries, attention is called to the indications of prosperity afforded by the closer attention paid to road improvement by the farmers of the State. Commissioner Watson -calls attention to the fact that the most prosperous of the agricultural counties of the State show the largest increase in proportion in the purchase of automobiles for the present year. He has been engaged for some time paSt in taking a census of the number of automobiles registered in the State. According to the figures of the department, the number of automobiles so far registered are 6,768, and of this number 2,341 were registered during 1912. Greenville county leads with a total registration of 657 with Charleston 656?The State. "Language was made to conceal thought." Some people are keeping a lot of things to themselves. Sometimes the nicest thing about having company is seeing them go. It appears inconsistent for a person to get into a tantrum arguing religion. . Executrix's Sale.
