There is so much talk about
i this eight hour law that it makes
us laugh. The editorial depart
ment of this paper has been un
der the system for about 10 years.
Eight hours,in the morning and
eight in the evening.
While you are making those
Xmas presents dont forget to
drop around and pay the editor
your subscription. He needs a
little cheer too.
The way of the transgressor
is hard. If you get too much this
week your head will burst Tues
day morning?. Slow down bud,
slow down.
Wonder if Governor Harris
can see any further than the
line across the state at Macon
when he goes to appoint the
successor of Judge Hodges.
• Germany wants Peace. So do
we, so do all that are human and
it is to be earnestly hoped that
the hounds of Mammon will not
make it long removed.
Could Christmas day dawn on
the hostile armies in the trenches
with a blessing of Peace it would
be wonderful victory for the
Prince of Peace, j
The farmer will now use judge
ment if he is very careful about
the kind of cotton seed that he
plants this season. A little care
and judgement applied now will
do away with many frowns and
groans next fall.
One may rear and pitch, snort
and tear their hair as much as
they wish but the fact sadly re
mains that if a well know 'disre
putable woman were to’come on
the streets in the garb that some
of the women do, she would be
immedilately arrested. No rea
sonable person will but admit
This sad state of affairs.
Everybody get the Christmas
spirit on and let the kiddies get
all that is coming to them. It
comes only once a year and as
they grow older it means less to
them. Let them enjoy while the
mystic sweetness is dear to [their
blessed little hearts. Of such “is
the kingdon of Heaven.”
Some of the papers are suggest
ing Governor Trammell of
Floriday for Vice President in
1920. Why not use Catts as he
seems able to overcome more
obstacles than any man in that
state. Having been made a
martyr by the bitterness of his
opposition he was bound to win.
The high cost of living needs
no investigation as every man
however simple minded knows
that as long as this country
furnishes the warring nations
with provisions the cost at home
will be greater. The Fitzgerald
resolution will solve the problem
very quickly.
Here is hoping that there will
not be an empty stocking in De
catur County this year and that
all the kiddies will have a horn
and a drum each as well as plenty
of apples and oranges and can
dies. If that is not simply wish
ing for a kid-heaven you can
shoot us, f
President Wilson and wife
went holiday shopping Wednes
day says the dispatches. Rise up
Tom Watson and howl because
the head of the nation and his
wife exercise the same privilege
that every other man and his
wife has. Abuse him about that
grave some more as he may
Before another issue of the
paper the folks will have enjoyed
their Christmas and we wish that
all may have just what their
heart desires. May their bless
ings be manifold and their cup of
happiness ample with love and
hope. May prosperity attend all
the coming year. We wish that
all so enjoy their holiday that it
will mark a date in their lives
never to be forgotten.
The Macon Telegraph has dis
covered what we have known
for some time and that is that
Tom Watson and Bishop Keiley
of Savannah are both too darn
mean and selffish and bigoted to
do any cause anything but harm,
have paid his new wife’s hack If they could be persuaded to
fare.
The wisest precuation now is
to lock that old quart up in a
vault if you think you are going
to need one the morning after
Christmas.
An exchange remarks that
Wary Garden has five thousand
dollars worth of clothes. And we
rise (o ask why the devil she
dont wear some of them some
times.
The yelp of the Christmas
'Turkey will open up the hearts of
the close fisted on next Sunday
and everybody will have a bit of
good cheer. Who cares for wars
or rumors of wars.
.Savannah gave a preacher a
purse of money a few days ago
and sent him on his way rejoic
ing. "Sorter agin” preachers
having too much money, they
are liable to be intemperate in
their eating.
The Bainbridge merchants are
the busiest set that we have seen
in many days. They are doing
the best business they have done
since 1906 just 10 years ago.
Way it continue thriving for
them.
The Walton Tribune has ex
pressed our opinion of Bryan just
as if they had been paid to get
it up. More Jackassical than
great, so they say of Bryan and
we most heartily agree. If he
ever did anything worth while
but get licked three times we
would like to know it.
Candler has been elected May
or of Atlanta but there is no
money in the treasury for him to
spend Suppose the folks are per-
tectly willing to “let Asa dig” if
wants to do any spending. If
there was a city tax on Asa’s
coca cola they would have
plenty for Asa to spend.
The Thomasville Press says
that General Wood is "lacking
in Versimilitude” and that settles
it. We knew darn well that
something was the matter with
that fellow but we had no idea
that it was that bad.
Bryan. Watson, Keiley, Felder,
a beautiful bunch of geraniums
now are’nt they? If either of
them has an idea that is not sel
fish and for pelf ycu can shoot
us for a prototype of Eichelber-
ger.
Get out your old last years
good resolutions and brush them
up. As Johnnie Spencer says
you can use them again this
year. None of them were badly
worn last year'and will stand
The seed crushers of the state
are using every effort to aid the
farmers in getting the very best
cotton seed. Seed that will resist
all cotton diseases while they
are In a measure interested in
good seed but their work to see
the farmers profit in every other
way relative to the proposition is
to bejjeoni mended.
We like some things but we
are willing to take the words of
some of the sistern as to their
splendid figures and suggest that
they get on a little more clothes
both at the top and bottom this
kind of weather. If a woman will
advertise her figure in such
manner can she feel sore if it is
commented on?
The negros that went north
are seemingly up against it in
Pittsburg as the charites are
complaining of having to take
care of so many ot them. They
will find their sorrows magnified
as the time goes onto in the
winter. One negro living near
Brinson got back a few days ago
and in his enthusiasm being at
home he kissed “old Beck”, the
mule that lie plowed several
years and told Beck that he
would never leave her again. It
is said by those that saw the in-
l cident that Beck was about as
happy over his return as he was.

A love feast between the editor
of the Macon Telegraph and
Preacher Will Ainsworth was

call for Peace. With Bill ar.d

Funston resents the idea that
because a man is a soldier that
he needs any more preaching to
than another citizen. The general
is right about that but be had
just as well "cuss around a little
with the preacher and shut up”
for they will make capital out of
his words on a religious matter
that he never dreamed of. What
is religious liberty? To keep a
manlfrorn hearing certain doc
trines or make him hear some
that he dont want to? Seems
like this this thing has gotten
warped mightily in the past few
years. A man says that you are
denying him his liberty when
you refuse to let him order you
to hear his ism? Is that it?
The people want it but the hirel
ings dont and they wont have it
either.
The poor old Jeff, every time
some one tells them that the
moon is not cheese they rear up
and ring in the Frank case. It is
disgusting to see a man try to
raise an old thread-bare subject
everytime some one calls him on
something entirely foreign to the
matter. Every time a man swats
Watson, Tommy yells “he dont
like me because of my activity in
the Frank case.” Sickening if
anything ever was. The most
disappointed man in Georgia was
this same Watson because he
was not convicted recently in his
trial. He did want to play
martyr at so much per mart and
now they robbed him ot this good
lever to get money out of his
deluded followers. He did not
want any acquital, anything else
but that.
If you are a good little boy or

he will not do much for you.
