WHY 1 HATE THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC.
(This Communication was sent us by a good lady, with a request)
(to publigh it. As death and destruction 1o its “illegal trafic,"')
(18 as much in evidence to-day as ever, we give it publicity, because)
(it may strikea responsive cord on other heart strings for good—Ed)
I have seen so much of the evil of the liquor trafic, so much of
its economic waste; so much of its mentzal blight; so much
of its physical ruin; so much of its tear< and its heartaches, that I
have come to regard that business as une that must be destroyed,
or controlled by strong and effective laws.
I bear no malice toward those engaged in the business; but 1
hate its every phrase:
I hate it for its commercialism; I hate it for its greed and ay=-
arice; its denominatior. in pclitics; and for its incessant effort to
debaucn the suffrage of the country,
I hate it for the load it straps to lsbor's back; for its wounds
to genius.
I hate it for the human wrecks it has caused: for the almhou
ses it has peopled; for the prisons it has filled; for the insanity it
begets; for the countless graves it has caused, :
I hate it for the mental ruin it imposes upon its victims; for
its spiritual bhight; for its moral degradation,
[ hate it for the crimes it has caused; for the homes it has
destroyed; for the dear hearts it has broken.
I hate for it for the grief it has caused womanhood; for the
scalding tears; for the hopes deferred, and the strangled aspira
tions.
I hate it for its heartless cruetly to the aged; tie infirm, the
helpless, and for the shadows it throws upon the hives of children,
I hate it as yirtue hates vice; as truth hates error; as right
e)us hates sin; as justice hates wrong; as liberty bhates tyranny;
as freedom hates oppressien. F.
UNION THANKSGIVING SERVICE.
WE Heartily commend the coming together of the christian
people of this community in a Union Thanksgiying Ser
vice last Thursday night atthe Meth-dist church, If we go our
way, without voicing our Thanks to Him, who suffered death on
the Cross, it seems to me we are failing to clothe ourselves with
tue spirit of appreciation of a thanksgiving so richly bestowed up
on us with so many of the blessings of this life.
Brother Nease opened the service; Revs. E, F. Dean and G,
H. Jacobs, assisted; and a splendid congregation listened to a feel
ing discourse by Rev. J. D. Poindexter, un the subject of this an
nual Thanksgiving custom.
In this connection, we are happy to state, that in the future
a Union Service will be held every fitth Sunday, first one chureh,
then at the other, The pastor of the Baptist church to conduct
services at the Methodist; and the Methodist pastor at the Baptist
church. If they Presbyterian minister happeu in ona Union
Seryice he shall be expected to assist with the service.
We hope much good will come from these services, as well as
ull other services held in His name, Go out brother. At
tend the services in your church, for be assureq, it is what you
putin, and the spirit of the putting, that brings forth toe fruit.
THAT'S RIGHT, BLAME IT ON US.
(We take the liberty of publishing the following, from an Ohio sub-)
(scriber, remiudiog him that we did all we could (o save the day)
(but that the darn thing had more force than we thought—so failed.)
ENCLOSED find check for $2.00 to apply on my subscription
to the Herald. I must compliment you on the great im
provement of the Herald snd the big Increase of advertisers, that
realize that advertising pays. I look for my Georgia paper every
Monday, and feel lost if it does not show up. Success to you.
Well the election is over and we are all Houverits now, for
at least four years. By the way, I bear they had a strange con
tagios fever down at my town, St. George a stort while age?
They say it was very catching; it must have been something like
our Buckeye fever that broke out this fall, I am gilad to near
however that all came out tine—good for St, Geodge, Ha Ha—they
must have had some Hoover medicine. Its a sure cure, Ha Ha!

ADVERTISING WHAT YOU HAVE GOT. '
ADVERTISING is absolutely the only cure all, for an ailing
“ Business. For something that is, that you want, you are
compelled to advance a legitimate reasou for getting it, and that
too whereby the possessor thereof gains by the giving,
Now we all know this, and vet do we act as if the knowledge is
ours, and the prolit is passing—the advertised routes.
Consider the Florida travel, with its daily drift southward
where gentle zephers blows its scented breath in the faces of those
traveling down the advertised lanes of travel, As one man put
it "Why put thirty million in » Highway,” and keep your mouth
shut about it. That is \he proposition in a nutshell,
Travel is being Jdiverted to advemised channels, both legiti
mately and otherwise, while we sit still and do aught to harvest
our share, Well as the checker player whisper to his partner;
"“Be quiet, sit still, and they'll go out, and leave us be.” '
We hope the awakeniug at the Waycross meeting, Wednes
day, will be of the kind that sets in motion « co~operative plan
that will cause those on this route to stict to one another along
the way and plaot the idea nicely, firmly and constaatly on the
minds of the traveling pubiic that we:—
Have the most direct way, and the Highway is paved
That we can speed you on the way, or rest you in comlory
and convenience, as pleasantly as you would have it so.
That it is as much a pleasure to direct you'on your way, sup
ply you with free water and air, and a pleasnt word as it is
To sell you the things you need and desire.
The route with less miles and MORE SMILES.

REACHING OUT FOR A
CHRISTIAN HARVEST.
The First Metiiodist Church of
Dalton, with a page advertisment
in the Citizen, presents a new idea
for the church, and one that may
well be followed by others.
The newspaper as a mean of
reaching the people stands in a
class by itself, l%r if a man does;
not read a xxew!?per he is going
to be a hardOue to reach, or in
terest in the salvation of his soul.
But that is beyond our text; we
simply are interested in the
manner of their appeal to get the
folks out, |
Their program for the month
rather appeais to us, in as much
as they specialize and that is what
we feel sure, the church must do
nowadays , to attract the people to
it,
Here is their month’s program:
Football Night—Subject ** Football
and Life.” JChurch decorated with
school colors and flags. Seats
fpr.wided for High School students
and faculty. Mothers, fathers
’sislers and sweethearts especially
invited,
Chiarch Loyalty Night with
ieverv member from the oldest to
the youngest urged tc be there, for
a special service.
i Young People’s night a county
‘wide movement, with a member
',ship of every organizition to at
tead and take part in this service,
~ Special Christmas Service.
~ The last Sunday service isa R, F.]
D. Night with the whole county
invited to be there, to hear fea
tures of special interest to every
¢ uzen of the county.
- And it is to such efforts that
people are drawn to a church and
he preparation of something in
teresting holds their attention.
We feel that too much is taken
for granted by our church people
and that they think people ought
t> come out because it is their
duty. .
They shouid catch and hold the
interest of people by a study of
a weakness that should be the
means of helping them,
People themselves duo more fool
stunts than any other animal, is
illustrated by the run Friday on
the Macon banks. A negro with
a railroad cneck in hand, waved it
at another one with a boisteous
remark “I'se going to get mine.”
Seeing a big bunch of hands lined
up, and in having mind the run of a
sow days past, a messenger boy
reported “a run” was on the bank,
and the report spread and it grew
making it so, including four of the
banks, Federal reserve Buuk, de
spatched xix million dollars in ar
mored cars, stopping the run.
The city election ends politics
for the year in Folkston, but Home
land has a try of it next week he
fore the curtain falls,
is a prescription for
‘OLDS, GRIPPE, FLU, DENGUE,
JILIOUS FEVER ANDL MALAR'A.
