FOR THE PREACHERS.
The Southern Railway Will Fpreaf
ter Issue Interchangeable Per
mits for OGergymen.
Hereafter ministers of the gospel
will not find it necessary to possess
themselves of half a dozen clergy
permits in order to travel over the
railways of the Southern states at
the reduced rates which are usually
granted them.
Beginning January 7, 190S, the
Southern railway will become a
member of the Southeastern clergy
bureau. This 'bureau .co,ers all of
the railway lines south of the Po
tomac and Ohio rivers and east of
the Mississippi river.
Hereitofore the Southern railway
has issued a clergy permit, good on
ly on the lines of the Southern rail
way, and it has been neee;ary for
misisters to have two clergy books.
After the first of the'y: r it will
only be necessary for a minister to
carry the Southeastern clergy book
and he can ride on an;y of the 'les
in the south, at 2 cents per uile.
These clergy permits are issued by
Mr. Joseph Richardson, chairman of
the Southeastern clergy bureau, At
lanta, Ga., and a charge of $1 is
made to cover the cost of printing,
;posiage, etc. This arra: ement is
quite a convenience to the minis:ers
who- have much traveling to do. as
it saves their carrying ;o many per
-miits.
Ganderbone's Deccember Forecast.
(Copyright,1907 by C. H. Rieth.)
December of the drifting snow
-And yule-log blazing bright;
December, when the cold winds blow
Across the fields of white;
When winter's ring is in the ground
And the nights are clear and still,
And the boys go belly-buster down
The slick and shiny hill.
December of the Christmas tree
.A childhood's brighest dream;,
Dece.' .r of the ecstacy
Of hallowed Christmas e'en;
When the 'last sveet lullaby is sung
And- children's whispers egse,
And the wee sweet stockings all are~
-strung
Along the inantel-piece.
December of the drum and horn
And bundles slyly hid;
December of the one great morn
Of mornings for a kid;
When the chimes of sweet and mel
low bells
Are welcoming the drawn,
And the house rocks with the merry
yells
Of kids with nighties on.
Deeeliber wa.s the ninth month in
the old Ramon calendar, and its
name is from decem (ten). When
Julius Ceaser ..became Big Stick of
the empire, the month contained but
twenty-nine days. 'He 'added two,
more-one more to make ready for
Ohristmas, and another " recover
from it. iChristmas gifts originated
with the Greeks. Hene'e the saying,
"Beware of the :Greeks bearing
gift's." ;Sant'a Claus was invented 'by
the toy mnaufacturers of Neurem
burg, Germany, where the Teddy
-Beams' came from.
The motto for this month will be,
"Shut the door!" Mr. Roosevelt
' an? Mr. 'Bryan will be the leading
presidential candidates, and prohibi-'
.tion will continue the burning issue.
The liquor interests will build walls
around Peoria, Ill., St. Louis, Louis
ville and MWwaukee, and their war
balloon will make daily observations
of the movements of Mrs. Nation.
The 'Anti Saloon League has con
sented 'to let the Winter Solstice of
this year begin at p. m. on the 22nd;
but~ there must be no drinking, and
every one must be in by Curfew.
The 21st will be the 'shortest day in
the year. This will be on Saturday,
and if you are at church next day and
stay for the sermon, you will notice
that the 29nd is much longer.
The m, will be full on the 19th,
and the .sign of the zodiac for the
month will be Capreiornus the Goat.
This will make butter go up, and send
kids to Sunday school.
The old mill pond will freeze again,
And every one will skate,
The mollycoddle, modest swain,
Will thither go with Kate.
She'll slip in such a way that she
Will see a brilliant star,
And he will deeply blush to see
How long her stockings are.
The money scare will quiet down
unhappy eireumstance-end money
vill freq1uent or2'in thle poc-kets of our
ants. The 'new cold cirs they're
akirg now without "ITn Go d We
rust."' will turn up in the hat at

up with wood.
On the 2d, Speaker Cannon will 1
assemble at Washington, where he
will re-elect himself and resume the t
enactment of law in the presence of <
the Democratic minority and other r
onlookers. The final edition of the I
president's message will be read, t
Wall street will be given another I
physic: and it v:ill be officially de
cleared that this country cannot ex
t-t half capital and half water.
Mr. Fairbanks will take rufuge in <
the dignity of the senate from his f
cocktail persecutors, and several new :
members will be taken into th ,:- I
elusive club of multi r=ilionaire .
\ongress assembled -ill take up 1
great public w-stions like the need
of a. ne' =ederal building at Podunk
and Coyote Center; the growing de
mand for a more elastic- currency,
and wh-y nobody will stay in the army
at the generous inducement of $13 a
morth and found-dead in the Phil
lippines.
Persons born under the - sign of
Capricornus the Goat are great ora
tors, thinkers! and teachers; self
conscious and not meddlesome; good e
story tellers, eat too much. have
style and pride, talk too much, are
distrustful, and can keep a secret( if
males). They are selfii3h, and never
get the hot end of it in an exchange
of 'Christmas gifts. They continue
to hang up their stockings wlen it
is a hardship upon others to fill
them. Girls born in Capricornus
are hard to win, generally preferring
a parrot to the stork.
The want-wolf's wail will ride the
blast
Where poverty prevails;
A few late laggard geese will pass
With winter on their tails.

' The sleigh will jingle up the road
the lines around the whip, and George
and Nellie, in the robes, will love's
own honey sip. The sleigh will hit
a 10 foot bank, and they'll go roll
ing down, with Nellie's foot in Geor
ge's face-and walk six miles to
town,
The new rules for farmers promul- t
gated by the Farmhands' Union will
go into effect on the 1st, viz: Far- a
mers will provide automobiles for all ,
help, and will serve as chauffeurs;
they will-eat at the second table, and i
sleep in the hayloft; they will rise
at 4, do the chores, and serve break- t
fast to the hands in bed at 9; they.
will provide a phonograph and the i
urrent magazines; hands will sup- c
ervise the farmwork from 11 to 12, 3
and from 2 till 3; the earnings of k
the farm will be placed in a bucket i
every Saturday and poared through t
a ladder placed 'horizontally, with c
the ends on two chairs; Iwhat goes
through, the hands get-'-and what F
stiks on the rungs goes to the far- e
mer. t
Santa Claus will make the usualt
rounds on the night of t.he 24th. Men e
will get cigras, neekwear and mus
tache cups. Ladies will get the monl- 1
ey-which they would much rather j.
ae. Children will get the stomach
che and its complications. C
And then comes January ill
To plague us with some ancient bill
As only January can
Disturb the happiness of man.
Then Leap Year dread shall come
again with Nineteen Hundred Eight;
when womankind of growing years
and single upto date, will hit the
mahelor 's plains trial-the unpro
posing wretch-and make the worthy
for awhile 'exceeding hard to ketch.

Fools and Wise Men-And Thanks
giving Day- a
Prosperity, Dec. 5.-Tuesday 's c
Georgian 'had an editorial that b
"struck'' us very* forcibly which ~
we take pleasure in giving to the a
readers of The Herald and News. h
A banker said a few days ago:
"The farmer is a fool to hold his
otton like he 'is doing.'' A little 3
later a big merchant said the farmer t
was to blame for the panic in money f
because he had not sold his cotton, t
nd judging from what else they said, ~
the cotton grower is to blame for
everything that has happened from t
Wall street down.f
Now we are willing to admit that
more money would have been in cir- i
mulation and more notes paid at the a
bank if the entire hundred million h
dollars worth of Georgia cotton alon' d
had been turned loose and the money li
going its rounds of duty, but let's
see whether the farmer is a fool and
to blame for everything because he
wanta to g'et as much as he can for
his eotiton.
We find the labor union mnan work- N
in for a set fig'ure; there is no ques
tion raised as to paying it: he can

ent. good security and good i dorse

anker.'' you say. IP con get it
'or 4? Is the banker a fool-well,
ardly.
Now let's ;'o into that merchant's
tore a minute. We pick out $200
vortih of goods, and say: Mr. Mer
,hant. times have been pretty hard
or the past sixty days; I can only
ay you $175 for the goods." "We

am .urp:ised you should l n
ut it,'' replies t:he mnerchan .f
That merchant may be perfectly
ane. may hie nlot.
But here are men in New York
cho have contracts that pay them 13
,ents for cotton for December de
iverv. These men never see a bale
f cotton from one week to another.
hese men object because they can
ot get from the farmer for S or 9
ents tAe staple they have contract
d to d-liver at 13 cents. I= the far
ner the fool? Now let's see.
We happened to be at a fashion
ible country place not so very long
igo. Not far down the street was a
ansion with beautiful ground'. Sud
lenly the owner vacated it and Mr.
3lank, a New York cotton specula
or moved in, paying $700 a month
ent. The stable was not big
nough, so another was rented near
iy and $2,000 spent in altering it to
uit his wishes for the little time he
'anted it. Thirteen 1:rses and a
lozen or so carriages came out. Some
hing like ten servants came, and
inally his automobile that was of
talian make and cost every penny
,f $12,000. The gentleman went into
v ew York every morning to gather
tp what he could from the.sweat of
he brow and the already poverty of
he man who grew the cotton,
We were down in South Georgia
ecently. A little shac- marks the
Lme place where a fam y has strug
-ed for years to extract enough cot
on from the soil to keep body and
oul together. The family grew and,.
ith practically nlot educati.onal ad
antages at hand, was compelled to
row in ignorance. The oldest boy
eame a man, a crude farmer.
The spark of pride and manhood
hat had lain dormant through the
ears sought to' glow and burn in his
reast. Finally he made a trip to a
ity and saw what there was in
:nowledge and enlightenment and
is ambition gave him unrest. He
ft the farm long enough in the win
ers to prepare himself for a college
ourse; borrowed the money with
hich he paid his tuition 'and gave
is note for it. He str'uggled through
llege and gra'duate'd: then he tried
o get a place in a law office, hoping
o earn enough to pay back the mon
y promptly, but no one seemed to
'ive him a chance. He taught school;
-0!1 his way; finally married and has
is own -little ones around him.
How many Georgia boys have been
ompelled to plod along in ignorance
nd poverty through the years to
ontribute the money that the spe
ulator used for the purchase of the
12,000 automobile, the horses, the
ervants and the luxuries he enjoy
And now,. Mr. Banker, Mr. Mer'
hant, Mr. Farmer, Mr.-/Speculator
nd all-are not men fools as a rule
hen they fail to do the thing that
till contribute to our bank account?
Lne we not inclined to count the man
ut if he reaches a point where he
an hold against the sto'rms of life?
Life is short to the best of us. We
re selfish and want to win all we
an to our bank ace'ount, but let us
ear in mind, Mr. Banker and Mr.
ferhant, as we ride to our work in
utomobiles that cost more than a
alf dozen of some of the little farms
aat give bread to the families of
ur people, and we sit around a
'h-anksgiving dinner today-that
ere are thousands of homes in our
