The night before Christmas was just is popular thla year as heretofore. The girls who use good Judgment in dressing don't use too much of the modern style. The tide has turned and 1923 will be the best year we have had in the past five. It’s good business to trade at home, even If there isn't any home loyalty In your soul. The pot hunters are the p the game world, and they s catching fits about it. Start the habit of saving during the coming year. It will pay you a very handsome dividend. All the fat people trying to reduce, have undone a lot of their work by their Christmas eating. The Christmas neckties will not be as good next year as they were this, so go on and wear them out. Mer Rouge is on the map, but it isn't an enviable position for the little Louisiana town to assume. Giving and serving are two certain ways to get right at any time, but especially around Christmas. Harry Daugherty didn’t have much Christmas spirit with the charges In the House hanging over him. MR. WILSON AGAIN VINDICATED. Woodrow Wilson Is vindicated by Japan’s withdrawal from Shantung. At Paris in 1919 Shantung, includ ing the garrison at Kiaochow, that had been seized by Germany as in demnity for damages in the Boxer re bellion of 1898, was awarded by the treaty of Versailles to Japan. , The award was accompanied with the distinct understanding and ex plicit assurance that Japan would at the proper time retire from China and return Shuntung to the Chinese. When Mr. Wilson became a party to this agreement vials of wrath were emptied upon his head. Phrases like "the crime of Shantung" were bandied about by the unthinking and yawped repeatetdly m the Senate by Lodge and his partisans. Wilson has sold out China to Japan—that was the cry. To all this the President made the simple answer that "he had faith in Japan” and in Japan's promise that the Mikado's government would at the proper time restore Shantung to the sovereignty of China. This faith of Woodrow Wilson's in the integrity of one of America's al lies in the great war is now complete ly Justified.—Louisville Courier-Journ al.

A bank statement interests a lot of fellows who don't do anything but bor row to keep down an overdraft. Those who haven't paid their tax will find it still more of a task whi the Christmas bill begin to roll in. Charlie Brown and his deer hunting expedition proved a very Interesting manufactury of very readable copy. The poor of Thomasvllle were gen erously remembered, and It Is to the credit of the city that this was tr The Greek-Turk embroglio of cent date Is rarely understood either In result or efTect. Very few people understood why they went to war, what they did and how they came out. Yet you rarely ever find any person, of sane mind, - who has not gotten to the Inside of the story who will favor the Turk. They all are for the Greeks. This Is caused by the fact that the Greeks are well known here and their reputation Is better than that of the Turks anywhere. For many years the Terrible Turk lias beon a byword and recent years has accentuated the nickname rather than relieving the stigma. The mas sacres and horrors perpetrated by the Turks in this day and time is enough to make the whole world rise In holy horror and hatred against any face, whose principles are no higher and whose actions are no more hu mane than that of the Asiatic Turk It Is for this reason that so many people are inclined to favor anything that opposes the Turks and will stand for any measure whether just or not of itself to the Turks, that will relieve them of the possibility of doing more devilment. If they get the opportu nity there is very little reason to • telieve that they would refrain from any crime known to modern times. There are facts behind this war that are not understood that might help the Turk's position. His reputa tion, however, has killed any sym pathy that he might have gained, ex cept among the powers, whose polit ical aspirations are such that they would use him and take a chance rather than forego thoir commercial greed. The world isn’t straight yet by a long way, and the Turk is bad enough, but not so much worse after all than some of bis enemies. Williams.

The story of the massacre at Her- rin, Illinois, has merely brought clearly to the minds of thinking peo ple tho necessity for discovering the guilty parties and administering pun ishment that will prove a severe de terrent to any others inclined to this form of slaughter. If ever there a case that deserves wholesale and drastic punishment this does. These men were evidently shot down like rats, despised, hated and butchered. How it was possible for men t work themselves Into such a frenzy of hatred-is hard to imagine. W- feel their anguish and despair at the necessity for quitting their Jobs, but it is hard to imagine how they could have worked themselves into this pitch of murderous design, even the face of starvation. It is well that this affair took place In Illinois, for had it been anywhere in the South it would have immedi ately brought forth the usual diatribe against lynchings and increased the efforts of the anti-lynching bill impose the nefarious measure u; the states of the South with no 1 ter excuse than politics.

IN A CLA88 BY IT8ELF A noted advertiser once said that when he advertised he got business and when he didn't advertise he didn' get the business. It is needless t state that he was a constant as well as a large advertiser and his business continued to profit. There is no trade stimulent likened unto advertising. It Is rather peculiar to observe psychological attitude of many men toward this game, called advertising. When they naturally pect business and know it is coming, they are ready to advertise, to extra space to get their share. When they are expecting a dull season and business falls ott, they make no cial effort to get more than their share when it could be easily done by ad vertising judiciously. The advertising done in newspapers is universally regarded as the most direct and the most effective. There are thousands of merchants, deprived of their normal share of business In dull times because there are hustlers in every community, who use newspa pers freely in getting the business that the merchant expects to come to him without any effort. All big merchants are extensive advertisers and they all get business. When they see that they are going to fall down they pile up a big advertising account and It always pays for Itself. You needn't be too anxious about what you didn't get Christmas. Be thankful for what did come to you and remember that there were those nearly so fortunate, and maybe e deserving. The whole county learns of the cident of Rev. J. M. Rushln with the deepest sorrow and sympathy. If there was a good all through ma Thomas county, Mr. Rnshin it Is. There are more and more folks who pay cash for their Christmas things every year and they do this by means of Christmas savings accounts, which laid up during the entire year. The fellow who lands a Job always works like the new broom, but the fellow that doesn't need to land a Is the one that keeps that lick up through his career. The swapping of gifts and the changing with the merchants is on __ full swing today. If yon don't get what you want, swap for It and nobody will be any the wiser.

CRANK ON FAYING BILLS I succeeded by continuous herd work, end by following the maxim, "Pay as yon go, and mover go an Inch further than you can pay.” I was tempted often enough to venture out on a limb after a cluster of fruit, every business man Is, but I stuck to the maxim. It I was a crank about getting cash for my lumber I was Just aa cranky about paying my bills on the Instant and I haven't got over It. In my early days, when I first began to deal with banks I was often asked If I would renew my notes on their expiration. My answer always was that when note of mine fell due It would be paid In full, and I lived up to that platform. If I were giving advice to the young men It would be to be a crank - paying bills. It Is not alone that gives you credit with others, It Is t selT-dlscipline that It promotes. As for hard work, I did it to begin with because I wanted to get on. I do it still for the best of reasons—be cause I enjoy it, and because once a man -begins to let up, he slacks away too rapidly. Self-indulgence ! treacherous vice. Give it an Inc will take a mile Hard work cpn more Ills, physical, mental and spir itual than all the drugs in the phar- macooeia—Robert R. Sizer, head of the New York lumber firm of Robert R.

Cranks are not to be despised. Some of the world’s greatest achievements have come through geniuses the world has seen fit to call cranks. Oh, for ■weep of debt-paying sentiment—for cranks on paying bills. Because debtor cannot pay a debt Is no reason why be should not try. and keep trying until It is paid in full. Many people who cannot pay their debts now are going to keep oi lng until they do pay them. Seme others are taking advantage of the de pressed conditions not to try to pay at all, while some others could pay if they would and still others are tak ing short turns to defraud their cred itors of honest debts. No one has any confidence In the religion or the good intentions of any man or woman who does not “come clean," ao to speak, in their obliga tions. And we know church members and others who are not "coming clean.’’—The Madisonian. MOONSHINE WHISKEY FATAL TO CHRISTMAS PARTYIN OHIO TOWN Shelby, Ohio. Dec. 2#.—Phillip Welganott, 35, and Lester Elaton, 35, last night were being held for the Richland county grand Jury on charges of murder In connection with the death Sunday of Chief Ralph Longley, 32, after he drank moon shine whisky at a "Christmas party.” Two other men who partook of the liquor were blinded and a score made HI.

When ar raigned, both men admitted gelling the liquor, which the authorities be lieve contained wood alcohol, but pleaded not guilty to the charges of murder. An investigation Into Langley’s death was begun yesterday by Coron er LeBuer. Samples of the whlakey have been sent to the state chemist for analysis.

Elston said, ac cording to the officers, that he had been making the whiskey for several months and that no deaths from it had occurred previous to that of Longley. He said he purchased the farm last October and formed a partnership with Welganott. the latter disposing of the product while Elston devoted his time to the manufacture, the au thorities said he told them. Robert Blake and Earl Cllnebell, who were blinded Sunday night were •aid to be dying, hut will recover phy- stdans said later. NOTICE! Thomaavtlle. Oe, Dee. », 1122.
