The reason was thal the timi hud plenty of war orders to keep it busy, and preferred thal business us more prof itable. Tho secretary inight properly have gone further, and given the name of tills (inn Which puts ?in J (its altead o? patriotism, it Is gratifying to learn that other companies, which had nut benofltted much from government or ders in the pant, came forward and offered to make thc necessary am munition ut tho usual price, even while they could have sold their pro duct uhroad moro profitably. Hut lt should not be possible for the govern ment, in any circumstances, to be left in the lurch by private munition firme. One government factory, which ID the extent of the secretary's recom mendation, will cut but n small figure, considering the huge quantities of ammunition needed to go into the ! business on a big scale. But as long as tho nation must depend on private manufacturera, nurely there ought to j bo legal provision mado so that the government, in caso of need, con commandeer the services of any mu nition plant. AMERICAN PRECEDENT FOR CREECE Tho Chicago Tribune, delving into American history, brings up a remind er that we'd botter bo careful about criticising Qreeco for refusing to help her ally Serbia when the latter wau attacked. Once* it appears, tho Unit ed States formed a military alliance, and .failed just as signally to fulfill its ; treaty obligations. That alliance was entered into with France, ofter our revolutionary war. 'Benjamin Franklin was ono of the ; American representatives who formu lated lt. The treaty pledged that the . United States would old Franco in case of war between France and Great -Britain. It was, of course, an expression of 'tho gratitude that Americans felt to Prance for help In winning their independence. Shortly afterward Great Britain at tucked tho French republic, and lt be- j came the duty ot'the United ,States toi protect the French "Weat la,dlan poa-' apasiono. And:in that crisis the Unit ed-States .ignored the obligation us : flatly au Greece has ignored her ob ligation to help Serbia when attack ed by 'Bulgaria. Thc Frsnch were sc irritated by cur conduct that thoy retaliate J' agaiuBt ??oorlcan commerce, ^nd in 1798 con gress abrogated the treaty. . It isn't a pleasant thing to remem ber; but It helps to keep u.s from be coming" Intolerably self-rip, ht cous. NAVAL EXPERT^ 'ifIS , Secretary Dobels'.'has broken a rec ord in the navy department by recom-.j mending bigger expenditures ' than i tho navy , board called for.

The body was takon to LowndesvlUo for interment Sunday afternoon on the train which leaves | here at .3:87 o'clock. Tho graf mg .work on North Main street will very likely be finished Borne ''timo during Friday, and the j concrete Will be completed by 'Satur day tr the weather :s favorable. The grading on Gils street has been rather. I heavy. The great depth of dirt yet remains to be taken off, which will be along about the interjection of Orr street. - The brick laying crew will prob-| ably begin laying brick some time to day, beginning' at Greenville street and coming toward tho public square. At Gie present there ls something like 2,000 square yards of concrete ready for tho brick; and sand was being hauled yesterday for the cushion. When all of the grading ls' finished flown to Barlo street, tin: forces will be returned to Greenville street and w?l work towards Bobette on North Main. Thcro were all kinds of predictions about Gie weather yesterday. ySpmo .Said that It waa going to BPOW and vtOu?? winy ?JU ihv B'uu'mi unii? after.

Yesterday afternoon the clouds began. to drift from the western horizon, and ero. long the sun's raya were playing on thc roda ol ? fleecy vapor, painting one of Gie most beautiful sunsets of tho Season.

At an early hour this morning the stare were ahlnlng bright, and it is hoped that the weaGier will continue j fale for .a few more days any way/ The ?ead Town. . Bid yen over go into a town and, as i yon stepped from th-a train, have it j Strike you suddenly that tho town was j '.' ?BMB fiend? Have you stopped to analyze Just what la meant "b/ these words "dead town?" In'the lani analysis they mean Just one thing-and that ia that thc merchants of thc town don't advertise. A dead town has certain positive aspects of rlomisc Which ure as bald as a piece of crepe hanging on the do?r -of a private house. Tho stores seem to be merely exist ing- Their shelves are covered with apparently unsaleable goods. The storekeepers seem to he vying with rach other to soe which will win the first prize UK the town grouch. If yoii talked with them they -knocked tho town, tiley knocked business, they knocked tho mai) order house. They were continually complaining that other people did business and marie money hut that they didn't seem to be able to Bell anything. They guessed it wau tho town. Yes, thal was it, the town. If you asked that merchant if he ad vertised, he would have looked at you 'with amazement. What was tho use of advertising when business was so badi People who lind money to spend, lie would tell you. were'send ing it to tho mall on" er IIOUHOS. No. he would say lie didn't udvertisc. He wouldn't throw good money after bad. On the other hand, into a live town and what will you see? The merchant;; have attractive displays in their Btorcr*' The dally or weekly newspapers aro filled with big an nouncements of special saleB or low priced poods. They aro not afraid of tho mail order houses because they have the same moans to reich the people-advertising-that makcB the mail order houses great. The merchants have their local as sociation for mutuul help and behind thc association tho local newspaper is pushing, pushing, pushing. Every body is working and everybody is happy and boosting. If you want a ? live town get behind the newspaper i and Vhe newspaper will do tho rest. Forget the timeworn ? arguments that tho paper .? a dead one. The paper is alive enough if the people are alive. The surest test of a live town is a live newspaper, and a nowspapor can't be alive unless the town boosters do their share. Why Get Rich Quick Schemes Work. "Those who labor hard for their money and who ha. vic a still more arduous struggle in saving small sums." says a banker tn the January American .Magazine, "naturally fall easy victims in many instances to "fae desire for sudden riches. But the fatal error lies in supposing that the person of small means can afford tc take the chance. If he or she loses they loso alli.
