Of'H'MAI. OttriAN OF TUB < I'1V Oi IIAINltltlOaK AN1> UHCATUB 0 1SNTV, Telephone No. 239 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. Phis will be the true siory of many more before the summer A love feast between the editor of the Macon Telegraph and Preacher Will Ainsworth was the fore runner of the German call for Peace. With Bill ar.d George swapping love taps the German Kaiser thought it was time that he gave Joffre the glad hand. Wonerful be the ways of arriving at peace. shut their prejudiced mouths folks would get along much bet ter in this religious business. The Bishop seems to think that he had a Jeff too for the purpose of raising H all the time. The two quart limit is being attacked. If that is cut off what on earth will become ot the hired lecturers and the grafters that suck the anti-saloon league? What will become of the prohibi tionists for pelf? It will not be removed for the simple and 01 Health is Worth Saving , nJ Jainbridge People Know to Save it. How Many Bainbridge people their hves in their hands neglecting the kidneys they know these organs help. Weak kidneys are re slights Aleck that must start something new. The Bainbridge friends of Oscar Groover of Thomasville, , „ , were Tgladdened by the news i P’ ain reason the grafters know that he had won out in his race j that , real true prohibition will for Clerk of the Superior Court M them ° ut of a J° b - Wohlwen- of Thomas County, succeeding says .they want real prohibi ts father who held the place tlon and he Wl11 8 lve * t0 them - many years [and who gave just that kind of an administration of the affairs of the office that Oscar will give. 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 girl Santa Claus will visit you but if you have not been good, he will not do much for you. How often have we heard that admonishment in our childhood and how dear it was to us. And to that some of these darn fools trying to break up the old custom and claim that it is wrong to not tell the little fellows the truth about Santa. God knows they find out soon enough and if there is any boy on earth that was led away from the paths of truth s * b * e f° r a vast amount of because of the dear old Santa ln S and ill health—the SllJ! fiction he would have been hung de J a y is dangerous.
