Wiy wait until tomorrow? The unkind word you utter today you may be sorry for tomorrow. If you have flowers for your friend, don't wait to place the costly wreath upon his grave. Put them in his path as he goes down the highway. Give him the buttonhole JJUlitluei Willie lie iiiciY vv cai aiiu c"ju,' it. Magistrate Aughtry, of Whitmire, says that the grand jury has wrongly accused him. He denies that he compromised any cases and collected money and failed to turn it over. In fact he says that he has ne^'er compromised a case. T>.at he was a little slow in sending in some money and his report due to sickness. Grand juries should be sure of their facts before they present officials or individuals. Comptroller General A. TV. Jones says that as he interprets the warehouse aci mat some of the insurance of the cotton should be taken through the sinking fund commission. It looks to us that his contention is correct. We spoke to tfne commissioner about giving some of the insurance to tihe local agent and he replied that he would be glad to do so but that under the act and the heavy bond which he is required to give and to make the cotton good collateral and protect the onan who makes loans on it he had to have a report every day and that it would be impracticable from many of tee warehouses if the insurance was .placed through the local agent. But the sinking iund commission for he pro-portion of the insurance it would write would be lust as safe as anv of the insurance companies. It is worth looking into. It is right and proper of course that our people should send money and provisions to the starving Belgians but we have a problem in our own county, or will have very soon, that ..ill need tfte assistance and best thought of ouj people in its solution. There are now, ana will be soon very many more, people out of employment and % with nothing on hand to take them through the winter. There are always a great many people out employ*ment in the large cities in tfae north and east, but we notice recently in some of the papers, articles from men who have lost their positions and wfco have notliing upon which to take them through the winter and who are seeking employment and are unable to find it. In an article which we read recently we find this paragraph: "If it /bad been necessary we could have promptly raised an army in an orderly, well-thought-out fashion. But when it came to the greatest business of peace in the time of calamity? keeping men and women at work?nobody knew what to do, unless to contribute to a soup kitchen." Tbat is the problem which is calling ak.und for solution today, to give men and women employment so that they may be able to earn honestly, the ! ' necessaries of life. And that is the j problem wf.:ich is demanding the best thought of the age :n this country. In the American Magazine for Decembr Will Irvin has a very interesting article on "The 'Glory' of War." It is a survey of the war and its ffacts as seen by him in England, Belgium, France and the edge of German. This is the most f-orrible war in the annals of history. There are more men engaged and the engines of destruction are more powerful. We utrsixt; iv yjuvic jusi uuc partvgi from this article which will give the reader some idea of what this war really is: "Let me begin with the outward and obvious manifestations o: war, the fighting. In some old history, I remember this line concerning Grant's operations in the Wilderness campaign: "There w*as none of the pomp and parade of war; only its hor rible butchery." Those glorious, dasning cavalry charges beloved by the poets, those tossing plumes and sounding brass which lured our youth to the colors in the old days?they are not visible along the Marne the Aisne. The mentor of modern war is not your plumed beau sabreur; fte is a cold, exact man of science w? o butchers j Dy tne t>ooK. lour moaern army is an orderly arrangment of gray-clad or brown-clad men, equipped with ttie last word in modern scientific instruments of carnage, directed, like a section gang, by the whistle, killing or getting killed soberly, mechanically. Your modern battle is 'not a day's affair or a two days' affair, an assembly in the morning, a harangue about glory or the grave, a cew hours of hell, a retreat, a long gathering of force and strength for the next battle. It is solid, continuous, deadly slugging, day after day, week after week, until men cease to care for the hazard of life and death through sfneer exhaustion, until regiments fade out through sheer hemorrhage."

Another marriage of note was celebrated Wednesday evening, November 18, at the tome of Mrs. Sophia Pinson, aunt o:' the bride, when Mr. John Miller, of Whitmire, led to cupid's altar Miss Wilma Ramey, one of Cross Hill's most beautiful and charming i I young ladies.
