OUR AMMUNITION MUPPMEN
?.n the unmial report of the secre
tary of thc navy li? romp?alo? that
a certain firm which In thc pant has
received thc bulk of tho government's
orJors for explosives refused to bid
on government contracta last anni
mer, although urged to do HO. 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

"We hud over 200 applications for

Johnson of tho Southern Express
compati? yesterday afternoon. 'I
thought moBt all of the whiskey was
ordered last wee'e, but lt seems thal
it was not. Wo are rushed with tho
Christmas packages and our delivery
today has been heavy."
Postmaster Laughlin has received a
lettor bating that a postofiice inspec
tor has been designated to como to
Anderson to look over the'proposed
city delivery routes covering thc
Equinox and Brogo? Mill villages.
Tnls inspector ls expected any day j

Mr.* Thomas A. Graham, clerk in the
offlco of tho county auditor, is back
at his post after an absence of a fow
days, he with his wlfo and daughter
and her husband, Mr. and Mrs. Fer
ri8s of Greenville, haviug made an
automobile trip, to Barber and Bus
sell counties. Malunna.
This is Mr. Graham's old home andi
I ho talked very Interestingly of his j
I visit. Ho stated that the boll weevil
was Just beginning, to infest this dis
trict of Alabama and that the people
there were very much worried about
it. Ono solution of the problem on
which they are counting is Gie rais
ing of peanuts Instead of cotton. From I
these peanuts they will grind out the j
oil and then havn the ? peanut meal.
Both of tho products arc saleable and j
doubtless the farmers are on the |
! right track.

Woodrow Nixon,-'the little five year
old son. of Mr. and Mrs. Amos Nixoni
who was fatally burned Saturday af
ternoon, died Sunday morning, suf
fering intense pain up until tho time
of its death. 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.
Christmas while others said that it]
wa 5 preparing to rain all dux .hg tho j
j holidays .like it did last year.
Howover, all of these predictions
proveo false. 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.
The .setting bf.the sun was very, very j
red, and ita rays on the, clouds turned j
them into - a deep ,: tinted crimson I
color, tho scene being\ sobc?uGrol j
that - people stopped o?< another on j
j the street and asked If the. sunaet iit^d i
been admired. .
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. T?':e.large capitalist
and tho professional . monoy-lendei
have tito law of averages working
with them. They ?Ah}' afford to sinh
money Into twenty .yehturo3 If thej

Tiley are protected by the law ol

ten Evenings Until Xmas
per published Jn Springfield, Ohio:
? "We Jive .ten miles from town and
have n-boy tineen years old. He was
not f?iti?fied on tho farm until we
bought a car. last; year..Now he ls tho
most satisfied.boy bue ever saw.
"We paid a man a good price to
teach him how to run' it, and lt was
money well spent. He doesn't want
anything better than a spin with tho
family, and v.-e .feel safe that he un
derstands the running of lt. An auto
mobile makes a boy manly when he
has tho responsibility of taking care
of it." ,
