THE t'IIBISTVAH EVE CANDIE
'i'll? ? i-t- ls un old custom, and a beau
lit ul one, to.i. origlnuMng probably
with il 9 French pioneers, of placing
n s' igle, tall, white wax candle in a
window on Christinas Eve, l?ttlng it j
illira all through the night to "light j
the Christ-child coming down to
earth." Th? custom, we understand,
ij kept nj) in Home parts of the coun
try, and there appears to be a grow
ing sentiment to entourage the prac
tice in parts of the country where it
hus been unknown.
> .'o would like to see th? old cus
tom revived and the observance of it
mad.' general. It would help the chil
dren to remember that Christmas ls
not ai) getting und giving of material
presents, but that it is the birthday
of one who loved them, one whose
uwectness of spirit they m iy well try
to learn.
A (.OLDEN OPPORTUNITY.
One of tlie most Important Besslonr
over faCcd bv nongrer-s hts lust on-su
ed. Following his custom, President
Wilson read from the speaker's Eland
to the assembled legislators a mos
aic brimming with Important recom
mendations. It matters not whether
Individually or as party measures we
agree or disagree with the president
on preparedness, the Mexican situa
tion, thc method of raising additional
revenue or on uny of tho other ques
tions taken up in his messuge, we all
must agree that the country stiiidB
now on the eve of tho greatest pros
perity lt has evor Boen and legisla
tion should bo pnsscd which will help
instead of retarding or lessoning that
prosperity. It ls, for Instance, a tr?
im'iidoualy Important matter that bus
inoF-a bo lot alone to grasp Its oppor
tunity. Wo have passed through a
period ot muckraking and restric
tivo legislation which has, perhaps,
been of benefit in making business
moro human. Wo have put a heart
into tho corporations oven ' though
they moy still bo soulless. But in
doing so we came perilously r ?ir to
destroying thom altogether. It is cer
tain that mai y bills will be mtro
duccd at the present session of con
gross which will effect business in
terests. Those should be passed which
will help business to overcome tho
depression of tho past years and go
onward and upward. Those which
would further restrict business ope
ration should be killed without mercy.
Thin is no time for the passage of
radica] Jeglsl?tl?n regiit'diesp of the ,
apparent demand' f?'r(j^?^fj[rganlza
tloits whien are demanding certain
legislation are noted for tho noise
they mc-AO because ot tho effect a
noisy demand has upon- legislators.
These-' organizations!/.should ^\>a, sup
I reused altogether, and, If not, for the
time I';hu: at least. The government
linds k necessary to. raise hugo
amounts of additional revenue. To
make-Dili successful, the 'president
recommends that no present sources
of revenue be. tampered with. Legis
lation uga! lint existing Industries will
directly oppose tho president's rec
emmc-ndmion.

ULLF.LIGHTINU RAILROAD
TRACKS
Tho problem of properly illuminat
ing railroad tracks at night is caus
ing railroad men trouble. The engi
neers want brighter headlights on
their locomotives, to show tile track
far ahead The officials oppose them,
insisting thar gluring headlights arc
;i came o' danger on the railroad?,
just glaring automobile lamps arc
on city streets, because they blind
and confuse people and animals on
the truck.
!t ls suggested as an alternative
that th" tracks themselves be lllumi
naiud. so that the locomotive need
carr) only a dim light, or non?, ut all.
The plati may be objected to JS need
lessly expensive, except on stretches
of track where truffle ls particularly
hen y in thickly settled communities.
lt is by no means necessary, how
ever, that the tracks should ba con
tinuously illuminated. If they were
wiied with a proper switching ar
rangement, the light ould be turned
on automatically by approaching lo
comotives, making always a quarter
milo or halfmile of brightly lighted
track ahoad of a traiD, and darkness
cloning in behind it. That would bc
a great convenience to the public au-l
the train crews, and ought to pay for
itisclf in tho lessening of accidents. It
may be th'e railroad lighting of tho
future.

The following 1B taken from the j
Greenville Piedmont ot' yoHtcrday:
A branch school o? Cecil's Business '
college, of SpartanbUrg. will be estab
lished in Greenville, according to an-1
nouncement today from rt. T. Cecil, j
founder of Cecil's sci"- ls.
A brunch of the school was estab
lished in Anderson about (Ive years J
ago und i? util! In successful oporn
tit'ii. The establishment of thc school
in Greenville .willyt give this \ well
known iuHtitutlon a ?UH wider repu
tation ca in established commercial
co?lege.
Tho new school in Greenville 'will
he centrally located. It will be under
the general supervision of R. T. Cecil,
founder of the Cecil schools, nnd un
der tbs immediato management of
Virgil Adams, formerly with the
iStenotype company, of Indianapolis,
und moro recently teacher of stono
typy lu thc Spartanburg ?chool.
While genc.-al commercial courtes j
will be offered In Greenville, tho tea- j
ture of the school will bc stcnotypy,
ns it has already so become In tho j
older institution at Spartanburg.
Most peoplo are now familiar with
the sight of the machine-the steno
type-and lt has ceased to bo a nov
elty. While tho stonotpye ls compar
tJvcly young yet, lt.has already taken
ita placo in tho courtroom and the
business office. It may br interesting
Lo note that the Spart uburg and
Cr tinville schools aro tho farthost
south stenotpye schools In tho coun

1914, and since that time "tho ma

RECALL ELECTION TO
6E HELD IN H
Atlant?, Dec. 22.-Although city|
council 'Iras sustained Mayor Wood
ward's veto ot the recall, tho recall
election will be held just tho same
next Tuesday, unless tho anti recall
people succeed in stopping it by a
court injunction-a method entirely
outside of city politics.
So far as politics alone is concern
ed, the recall is scheduled to be held.
The apparently paradoxical situation I
ls due to the fact that no sooner had |
city council sustained the mayor's ve
to that City Attorney Jamos L?. May
son announced that he ruled that
Mayor Woodward's veto was illegal
in the first place and therefore void
in Itself regardless of what council
has done. _ ,
I In a practical sense, there, it means
the thing willoi finally decided the ??
tuul holding, of the recall election was
the legal opinion of the city attorney.
