Chief of Police Moseley hail on a number of extra policemen and tie order was excellent. It had teen predicted that liquor would How freely, and that some rough time would bo experienced. The prediction was an utter falsehood. It is rumored that n supply of tine Scotch liquor arrived by way of Savannah, Ga.f had lit" in Union. If so. the result wu.> net noticeable in the conduct of the people. Union had a sane, quiet and happy Christmas. WOULD IT EFFECTS ITS PURPOSE? The provision of the Dyer bill imposing a tine of $10,000 upon a county in which a lynching ocurs would have the effect, if any, of reducing the number of lynching* rather than of preventing 1 vnchings altogether. Whon a crime atrocious and revolting " is committed and a community is aroused by it to ungovernable rage, men will not be deterred by pecuniary considerations. On the other hand, if a small group of persons lynch a man for a comparatively trivial offense (lynchings of this description are by no means uncommon), the \ ? ople of the county when they arc tailed upon to pay $10,000 on account of it will take notice and insist upon the arrest and prosecution of the lynchers. In the discussion of the bill in the house last Tuesday, it is pleasant to observe from the press dispatcher that Representative Byrnes of South Carolina did not indulge in intemperate expression of some other members. It was a pertinent question, too, that was asked by Representative Bankhead. whether judges and jurors in state and federal courts were not actuated by the same desire to enforce laws impartially. It may certainly not he taken for granted that a jury in the federal court will be quick to lind # verdict of guilty against lynchers when there has been no doubt of the guilt of the victim and his crime has been heinous. In a city of New Jersey last week, r crazed negro ran amuck and killed v policeman and a woman. After he had been shot in the legs and arrested, citizens tried to seize and lynch him. hut he was rescued, with difficulty, by police officers. Trials in federal courts and fines upon counties would have little influence in cases of this kind when the mob is successful. It is not less important to put down the mob spirit than to put down lynching and attempted lynchings. In the great cities they are by no means uncommon. Southern congressmen, meanwhile would as well understand that the friends of law and order and their constituents are not less eager to suppress the lynching evil than are the best citizens of the North and they I should govern their words accordingly.?The State.

I 'etrograd To Be Kept Clear Of Ice Moscow, Dec. 23.?Sixteen locomo lives in all were delivered by Ger many to Pctrograd before the por was closed on account of ice the mid die of November. It had been prom ised by port officials that Petrogra would be kept clear of ice until Do cember 20, but the icebreakers faile to function. There are many rumors as to th number of locomotives Russia has at tually contracted for in Germany Best informed foreign commercial e.> ports say <>00 is the actual numbe and that the deposits on these are m sufficient to justify the Germans i starting a large number of the rai way engines. Railway equipment is so essenti; to moving raw materials which Ru: sia may assemble at interior poinl that foreigners are watching the el forts of Russia to get railway suj plies with unusual interest. So fa the foreign trade agreements of ti Bolshevist government have bee chiefly paper achievements and tl efforts of foreigners to do busines in Russia have been so hampered b conflicting degrees and bureaucrat that even the Germans, with their a< vantagcous geographical position ar superior knowledge of the Russia markets, have been able to do b\ l; * 11 nine. Other imports for the first nir months of 1921 totalled about 700,OC tons. More than one-third of this wi foodstuffs, chiefly from England. Fut which included coal from Americ made up another third of the import Various metal articles made up om fifth of the imports, and came chiefl from Germany. Machinery of var ous sorts, including locomotives, ste rails, repairs for railway cars ai engines and agricultural implement were included in the German shi] meats, which are the only conside able imports of such a character th; they may be said to give evidence ? the establishment of trade on a pe manent basis. England sent chiefl grain and foodstuffs of a sort whic Russia would be exporting, rath* than importing, in normal years. Ge many received chiefly flax, asbest* and furs in payment for its machii ery. Without grain for exportation Ruj sia has little chance of buying ci tensively abroad, and the pressin problem of the Soviet government i how to get the seed grain and farn ng implements necessary to enabl the peasants who survive the fa.min to put in a crop next spring. People in This Country Greatly Blesse* Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 24.?"The peop of the South do not know that th( are living in heaven. I do not bi lieve that in all Poland there is or room so comfortable as the poore room in the meanest shack of one < our negroes." Tliis is the measured statement i Sam Gershon, prominent Atlnni merchant, recently returned fro hinrn tVi;in n vonr'c Qorvtno omnnrr 4 V war victims in the struggling nc republic. "My work was with the Jewish re ugees who are pouring: out of tl starvation districts of Russia," I said. "None of these border cou tries want theni, and they are ke on the move. There are 35,000 rofi gees in Poland now, homeless, wretcl ed. unwelcome foreigners. "It seems as if the spirit of cruel left by the war will not out. Tl people trust no one; it is everyoi for himself and the devil take tl hindmost. I recall the experiences < one woman who left Minsk, Russi to join her husband in Berlin. B cause she was not a Polish subject si could not legally enter Poland, ar to bu her way over the frontier si parted first with her money, then hi coat, her shoes, her stockings.

Metropolitan Opera Has Successful Season 1 New York, Dec. 21.?Its light un. dimmed by the passing of its greatest luminary of recent years?Enrico Caruso?the Metropolitan Opera has - reached the height of what its social - and professional sponsors acclaim ns j 1 the most successful season since the I world's eves were focused on New *i York as the hub of the operatic uniu verse. Not, officials of the opera said toe day. that a great gap lias not been left in the ranks of the artists who have made it so- famous. Caruso's* place, they declared, cannot be filled i- in a few months, or even in a few ,. years. But his death has ser\ed to? deflect the interest of opera goers I from the brilliancy of the individual] n singer and to widen it to embrace the' 1- opera itself and the great, though less, well known stars, who nightly are, . drawing multitudes to the historic 1 Broadway auditorium, i- Great changes have taken place in :s the opera as a social institution, they declure. The social side of the gath-| erings there season by season, has; again taken on the aspect it wore a tr generation ago. Once more it is the ie brilliant show place it was in the ,n 80's and 90's. Nightly, regardless of the name of the tenor or the soprano 1C chairs, from orchestra pit to "peanut. ,s gallery" are at a premium, and every; iy foot of standing room in the shadowy ,v horseshoe about the walls is solid with' * the mass of music lovers who would rather stand three and a half hours id than miss the performance, in In a widespread reaction from the ^ fashions of years before and during the war, the gentleman opera goers appears in evening dress, whether he' ic sits in a box or any other part of the )0 house below the gallery. And many' JS who stand through the succession of; , acts parade the lobbies and 'off the; "h shiniest of silk hats to acquaintances' a. or when they go to exchange visits! s. among the boxes filled with richly-j1 [?_ gowned and jewelled women. , . Apace with the changing custom in ^ dress and the etiquette of the eni tr'acte, the public has mastered its el post helium aversion for German op-| (i era, manifested in 1919 by threats of ~ violence that would ensue on their presentation. !>- Twice this season the stately measr ures of Wagnerian opera have re ^ sounded in the ears of audiences that . have taxed the capacity of the house, and "Die Tote Stadt," new to Amerir can devotees of the art, was the vehi|y cle upon which Mine. Marie Jeritza, a Viennese, took a cosmopolitan audi > eitce by stoim at her debut. ?l A few nights later the same iniposr ing daughter of the former enemy >s country tor4 and shook into dishevel^ ment her coronet of shining golden hair throng? the passionate scenes of "La Tosca"-^i role long regarded as 3- the exdusivBproperty of the Amerc ican idol, GeBldine Farrar?while an ? American aBdience dissolved into tears and intiKrupted the scene with ls an outburst ot^pplause and "bravos" i- such as seldoi^mars the serenity of le New York's bjKe first nighters. e As Uiii vnueh heralded successor of Caruso?the operatic maestros declare they are seeking none and hope j to find none. After touring Europe I most of last summer, General Manj ager Giulio Gatti-Casazza returned with many new singers added to his company and several new operas for le his repertoire. But he announced that >y while Caruso's place in the hearts of e_ his admirers must remain unfilled, the roles he ma<Jg famous would be sung ,c by the great tenor's former coleagues, st Audisio, Bada, Crimi, Martinelli and sf a half dozen others, with Pertille, a new comer from overseas. J "Time only," he declared, "and the ! judgment of a ficklke public can dela' termine who the eventual idol of thel m American opera will he." le Titta Buffo and Amelita Galli-Curci, who, as visitors with the Chicago Op-1 >v era company, have had New York tri-j umphs in past ears, are among the, f- new members of the Metropolitan! company. u> Notice to Debtors t; And Creditors u.

Buenos Aires, Dee. 21.?The Ar?r gentine Congress has ended its regie ular sessions without taking any acss tion on the bill introduced to fix a ijr minimum price for livestock, d. The measure wias accompanied by d charges that the British and Ameriit can meat packing companies operat- ' id ing in Argentina were making excessive profits and had caused the is slump in livestock prices. The bill ;s failed in committee following a re-j is port on the meat trade situation made i re at the committee's request by the j >r Argentine Rural Society, a national (1, agricultural organization The rey port opposed the bill. e The Rural Society., which held a; n hearing at which the managers of the f- packing establishments and represen- ' -s tatives of the livestock industry gave! 1 their opinions, held that the fixing of i ?f a minimum price was uneconomic and id that the charges that the fall in price p of livestocks was "the result of the 0 interested maneuvres" of the packers, I r. had not been proved. It was "not the i o consequence of a certain factor hut of j n a world-wide situation," the report | d said. The society advised that the meat trade should be left to the reg- 1 c, ular action of supply and demand. < n Regarding what were referred to as e the meat "trusts," the report said: "If j y the existence of 'noxious trusts' had I 1 ej been proved, the Argentine Rural So - duty woiim coiiui'inii muni aim eiaiui i * f the guarantees of our laws against ] them. But before reaching this point I ! a better knowledge of the situation is( necessary.
