ars to woe;
The advent of cold weather brings
news of many tiros started ^from over
heated stoves ndn furnaces, and from
open fireplaces in which fuel is piled
too high. Smoko pipes are often ■care
lessly allowed to come in contact with
wood work. Many people build a
roaring fire, and then forget about it
and have their house with the drafts
in stoves and furnace wide open. They
need not. be surprised if on their fo-
turn they find the firemen have had to
pay a sudden onll.
Every open fire ought to be provided
_witii a good tight screen, ns certain
kinds of wo'od distribute sparks freely
The carelessness of people in sugh ro

EX-GOV. JOHN M. SLA
TON KEEPS EYE ON t
POLITICAL SITUATION
Atlanta, Un., Dec. 20.—John M. Sla
ton, former governor, president of the
senate and speaker of the house of
representatives, is one of tho test in
formed men in Goorgin Ss to what Is
going on politically and otherwise—
who’s who and why.
His familiarity with state finances is
most exhaustive; it was under Govern
or Sinlo’s administration thut tf.1
present tax equalization law w'as passed.
He was a business governor in every
sense of the word.
•lust now, however, the former gov
ernor is concerning himself very little
with politics—certainly with the per
sonal phases thereof. Ho has other
worries; for, despite his persistent good
nature and optimism—or maybe be
cause of the same -Governor Slaton,
has shown of Into years a decided in
clination to uceumulato nvoirdupoise;
and no female of the species, 40 and
lair, stays more steadily on the
job of “reducing” than does the for
liter chief executive nowadays.
“The way to avoid overweight,”
says Governor Slaton, “ is to live in the
open. Got plenty of oxcrcise atfty

When Mr. Slaton was governor be

executive stall about him. Ho had

GRIFFIN’S
CHRISTMAS DAY brings ua the consciousness that whatever
our personal animosities may be, whatever the strife be
tween nations—merely neighborhood quarrels greatly mag
nified—there is this sublime occasion devoted to peace and
good will. Its spirit is the lamp which lights to higher life; its
influence largely supports civilization and prevents a lapse into
barbarity.
Christmas spirit means Christian spirit. In testing its
effect, one has only to reflect upon the positions of races, the
most advanced being those of Christendom. China, the oldest
entit/ among peoples, has an admirable occasion upon which
the citizens- strive to liquidate all their debts. It is a national
pay-up day, and in spirit somewhat resembles our Christmas.
In Japan they have an annual event somewhat like our New
Year’s belebration, during which the people go about express
ing good will and promoting good cheer. But Christmas has a
more elevating effect than either, in that it not only typifies
peace and good will, but carries the essence of unselfishness
and pure love, the most common expression beinn the bestowal
of gifts. When the Christmas influence gains to the point
that its spirit shall permeate the affairs of every day in the
year, the millennium will have arrived.
We have this day, and if we mar not its ideal its leaven will
produce other days of the kind. In the making of a newspaper
we have an opportunity to view the many forces operating
upon the character of humanity. We see the good and bad,
the sincere and insincere, the selfish and unselfish. We be 7
lieve the leaven of good is.more active than that of the opposed
forces. If we have been able to assist the right, much has
been due to your co-operation and we earnestly solicit a con
tinuation of the same. Our Christmas greeting to you is one
of optimism, good cheer and hearty good wishes;
