FORD NOT TO BE
A CANDIDATE
Henry Ford issued a statement
that he will not run for president,
either as a nominee of the Demo¬
cratic Party or as a condidate of a
third party.
He has cotne out strong for the
candidacy of President Coolidge,
endorsing his administration, and
stating that he favors his re-elect
ion. That puts at an end the Ford
boom, which has for several mouths
been a source of uneasiness to the
party leaders of the two old parties.

The Guiding Star
The approaching holiday is set
apart to commemorate the birth
of the Saviour.
That event has changed the des¬
tinies of mankind more than any
other happening since the Hegin
ing of Time.
The Star that hovered over the .
Manger was placed there to guide X
the wise men of that day. and J
since that time It has guided the ♦
wisest men of each generation.
The lives and secret thoughts
of man, believer and unbeliever,
have been changed and tempered
and softened by the teachings of
Him, who was horn beneath that
Star.
Our wish for your Holiday is
that you may see more dearly the
Star that shone over the Manger,
and follow it moYe closely in the
years to come. A happy Christ- $
mas to all of you. ♦

Walter B. Scott, night watch
mau at the plant of the Pelham Oil

stantly killed Saturday morning by
a live wire of the Georgia Alabama
Power Company, of Albany.
It is reported that the wire had
grounded against an oak tree dur¬
ing the night aud had burned in

work aud finding the wire on
the street took a stick and began
pushing it into the gutter as he
walked along the sidewalk. When
he came to the end of the wire it is
said he picked it up in his hand
and was knocked down.
Mr. X. C. Meloy, who was near,
seized an ax from a nearby yard
and cut the wire, but Scott was
already dead, appearing to have
been killed almost the instance he
grasped the wire.

small children, He was a

South Caroliua, and all his other
relatives are said to reside there.
