THE BANNER, WEDNESDAY MORNING,
In the limelight end in the leading role. Just now he is ridiculing everybody
who disagrees with the Ford peace movement apd incidentally is taking a
rap at the democratic administration.
It there is any one thing that has kept him out ot the presidency it is
his determination at all hazards that no one shall have an opinion in the
democratic party that does not agree, with his views of things. That has
kept himfdown and will continue to keep him down.
Ninety-nine per cent of the American people know that he acted very
foolishly in leaving Wilson’s cabinet and that be is continuing to act foolish
ly there can be no doubt.
Next year the democrats will come to the nomination of a candidate for
the presidency. It is quite certain that but one name will be presented to
the convention, at least in any serious manner. That will be the name of
Woodrow Wilson. Mr. Bryan knows that and yet he is day by day doing
what he can to queer the chances of Wilson for election by hitting right and

The democratic party, has done a great deal for Mr. Bryan. It has honor
ed him as it has honored no other man in recent years by thrice nominating
him for the presidency. He does not seem to think he owes his party any
thing. The party, according to hie idea of things owes him everything, and
must bend to his way of thinking or take his thrusts.
Just how far Mr. Bryan will be able to hurt Wilson in the next race is
hard to determine. But it is certain that the influence of the Nebraskan is
on the wane and that he cannot command anything like the following he
once could.
It would be better to have a united front in the next election but if it is
not to be. then democracy can fight on even without Mr. Bryan.

York, Dec. 21.—Soldiers in the
trenches of Europe this winter are to
be supplied with pipes from the Unit-
States and any American who
wants to send such a gift to a Bel
gian, a French or a Russian fighter
may do so by contributing ten cents
to the soldiers’ pipe fund.
The men at the front want and
need a good and durable pipe. The
demand for such an article hew been
very insistent and Viscount H. Y. de

ANOTHER CHRISTMAS REMINDER
People cannot he too often reminded of their duty at Christmas time.
The Banner makes no apology lor again telling its readers to get the Christ
mas spirit and go out and do good.
Those who perchance did not see what we had to say yesterday on this
subject will see what we now have to Bay. ODly a few days remain in which
to do what you should do in the way of making Christmas brighter and more
enjoyable in Athens this year.
If you have been in the habit of taking on a little too much alcoholic
drink, cut it out and remain sober this Christmas. Christmas, above all other
times of the year, is no time in which to get drunk.
If you have any grudge against neighbor or friend or foe, cut it out and
You cannot enjoy yourself if

A few weeks ago the National Bot
tlers’ Gazette, the biggest trade paper
of the sort in the world and one of the
most prominent organs, ot any trade
in the country, requested from hun
dreds of bottlers over the country a
careful expression as to the condi
tions of business now and the outlook
for the next year.
Mr. H. C. Anderson of the Bludwine
Company of Athens was among- the
number who responded—and all gave
rosy views of the coming business
year. Mr. Anderson, as soon as he
had the-request .from the. national
•periodical wrote'to his bottlers-in. a
score of states and had their replies
in hand—most of them being repro
duced in the Gazette—and all of them
most optimistio in tone. The follow
ing is the letter of Mr. Anderson:
Note of Enthusiasm.
Athens, Ga., Nov. 2V, 1915.
National Bottlers’ Gazette, New
York, N. Y. Gentlemen: Following
your letter of the 15th, inst., request
ing an opinion regarding the busi
ness outlook for 1916, we addressed
a circular letter to one hundred Blud
wine bottlers in all parts of the coun
try, asking an expression from them
on conditions and outlook in their
territories. More than seventy-five
per cent of the replies are enthusias
tic in their expressions regarding the
outlook for next twelve months. Many
of these bottlers say they are ar
ranging to increase their plant and
delivery eqiHpment in anticipation of
the biggest year since they have been
in the bottling business.

that the county road force do the ex-1
cavation and. grading for the new As*|

be begun in a few days.
These gentlemen stated to tho|
from {his cotton-^-sold to the crushers
—brinks’- over $193,000,000, giving a
total sum for "the producer of over
$893,000,000. This is’ $218,000,000
more than was realized from the 16,-
000,000 bale crop of 1914, and this
yeaFs crop cost proportionately less
to produce. The reduction in number
of bales is largely result of the south
ern farmer planting fewer acres In
cotton and more in grain. This means
that in addition to its cotton crop, the
South has helped the West to pro
duce the largest crop of foodstuffs the
country has ever known.
If Providence continues to favor us,
we truly need to have about 366
