Would you be-1 lieve that irianv people fail to give a correct answer? "According to Webster's dictionary: "An annual church festival, kept on the 25th of December in memory of the birth of Christ. It is celebrated jrencrallv by a particular church service, and by special gifts, greetings , and hospitality, and in most Christian communities, is a legal holiday. Vaguely, the season about Christmas Day; Christmastide." So, now that we have quoted the %est authority on what Christmas is, you can study it and see what it may mean to the world, ajid especially to jou. The definition winds up by saying in effect that the season about Christmas, .always of course, an indofinito lime, and having: vague limits, is "known as Christmas, as well as the day itself, the 25th day of December. , The Christmas spirit begins to take "hold* of the people in this section of , the country, early in the month of December. By far the greater part of the month of December is Christmas to the people of Horry County. They are thinking about it by the 1 time the month has c^me in. and by J the second week in Decemh^r the j Christmas idea has taken hold of almost everybody. From that time on ' tliev are trving to decide what tbev ' wiH give this one and that one for 1 a Christmas present. < The womfn .and the girls betrin to i "try their skill on the making of little > things that thev will use on Christ- i dm* qc gifto tr? their relatives or ; tost friends. The little girl must ' have a del' either mad? at horne or 1 purchased from afat The tv?oM?sprds of things that mav be made by one who is expert with the needle cannot be named in this editorial for lack of the space that it would take. By far t.h#? greater part of the pres- < ?nts used at Christmas are purchas- j ed at the stores. Christmas trade is < now at hand at all the s teres of thi* \ section of the countr/. In most of j the stores we see the Christmas spirit j taken hold ?>f the proprietor, Isolds the clerks, and it holds the i customers also in chrail; a special ( stock of goods appears on the shrives < to answer the spirit that we all re- < cognize. But whether there has been i a special stock or not. there are tilings \ in any stock of merchnndivp that will j be singled out as suitable for use as j presents at Christmas. The oli stock ( Chat has been on the shelves almost t the entire year, or even longer, will x he turned over and articles foui.d to j *u?*e as the cause of good cheer at r Christmastide. Some people have almost lost sight , of the origin of Christum ? Thot ,'eli one reason why we h?ve bunted i p the dicfcionarv and printed the dofini- . Jtion that Webster wrote, many years | a<*o. The day recalls the birth of f 4he Christ, and unless it can bring1 ] ?p the memory of the Savior of men N lo the world, each year, it loses the ^ purpose for which it was instituted j tiy mankind. No matter how much ( the holiday spirit may grip us at such j .71 time, it is well to let our minds lin- v jrer over the thought that it was on ] t*ns day in the long ago, that the { ISavior of all the world was born and j Jaid in the manger. This thought in -connection with the spirit of giving v Possession of us is a ( .-pood combination. , o mN * M********************** * HORRY HKRALDING | ?

Study the boll weevil until you uniiuitand his habits thoroughly, then jUmat the patch of cotton and raise it. O-1 Oat law muflt not be broken in or9m tm tor to enforce another. All ! % taws must have the respect of the people. o The use of good sense in raising cotton will beat the boll weevil as much as he can be beaten, at least the planter will have a profit left. o Why put ofT the buying of Christmas goods until the last day or two before Christmas Day? Buy them early in the Christmas season and thus Avoid a senseless run. o He who tries to excuse his breaking of the law by saying that he is acting in the interest of the pub'i^ good, states nothing except the old excuse of ages ago. Such an excuse could not be taken then and it cannot be taken now. o Many live merchants appear in this issue with news of their stores. They are the ones who have prepared to take good care of your holiday needs. Buy from the merchants who have told vou in this issup t.hnf tViov are ready to take care of your need for Christmas poods. 9 It would be wrong* for the people of this county to leave off the planting of .any, cotton. We want them to decide that they will raise cotton regardless of the boll weevil. What they make will bring a-better price and the better price will make up for the extra time and attention that they must give to the crop. o THE MESSAGE OF CLEM EN CE AU There has been much mystery and speculation as to why Georges Clemenceau came to the United States. But he came for no complicated reason. He came to say to the American people face to face that, having decided the course of history, they cannot separate themselves from the consequences. He came to remind us of a fact which is as true as it is simple, which is as profound as it is undeniable, that we have intervened gigantically in the destiny of mankind and that it has become forever impossible that we should now leave Europe to its fate. Clemenceau is now too old to care about anything that is smaller than ambition. He is beyond party strife ambition. He is beyond part yntrife. Ho is beyond mere nationalism. He lias no time, therefore, to serve the meaner part of France or to address the meaner part of us. He stands vp[>n the summit of a life from vhich now only the most enduring truths are visible. He is thinking not so much of treaties and budgets, claims and counter-claims, but of scenes which he perhaps of all living men has the best right to remember. He is thinking of ancient villages and vineyards blasted by machines, of* peasants driven frantically from thoir homes, of two million young men who are dead, of other young men who came from the ends of the earth, caring nothing at all about the pirns :>f statesmen, but everything, even in the face of death, for a France which is greater than Frenchmen and a civlization which is greater than France. He is thinking of the most splendid promise ever held before an ancient Continent, the promise made by Amirica and believed in by the people >f Europe. He does not argue about t. For his own mistakes and what :hey contributed to defeating that promise he makes no self-righteous justification. He is not here to vinlicate Clemenceau. He is here to say hat the American promise which exited Europe at the armistice still ives in the hearts of European i-eoi*e. He is here to say that this promse is not doad but sleeping, and that Xmerica's chance is not irrevocably ost. He comes, therefore, this ancient, "an who has seen so much evil and mis passed beyond illusion, to re.af'irm the greatest hope in the world. IT? .., U ~ - .1 I-- J> - ttv i n: vviiii Cfinju oniy ror r ranee, ne vho embodied the cynacism or n ma;ure civilization about the naive idealsm of a voimg- one. th.it man, Cle#;jnseau has emerged out of retirement ;o say that the youth of the world vas right. He has come to say that European civilization, weary and tanked in its own history, had reached :he end of its own devices. That, neneath the surface of his neech, i^ the dramatic meaning" of Clemensau's mission. That is what >e wishes us to understand. That is '11 he need let us know. For having aid this much, the rest follows inevitably. A nation whose name is ' ound up with the hopes of men cannot permanently refuse a call like this. It is an obligation written not in a contract but in the facts of his*orv that America, whose power decided the break-uo of the old Continent. whose idealism determined the ir?sr?ivpt.ion of the new, should answer an invitation which comes from every nation and from every clr\ss to 1p to construct the peace of the world. On no other theme could Clemenceau speak for all mankind. This i? the one messare about which there is no dispute in Europe. This is .the one idea for which he deeded no credentials. for it is the one idea on which royalists and communists, the rich and the poor, peasants and bankers, Frenchmen and Germans. Englishmen and Russians, arc agreed. Here is the common ground In a distracted world. Here is the one standard to which all men can rally.

It is one of the anomalies of our political system that this Congress which has just been discredited at the | polls is called upon by the President to pass a measure which was equally discredited at the polls at the same time. It is admitted that the New Congress (the 68th> iust elected, is hostile to the Ship Bonus hill, therefore, it must be put through by the ^ administration before the newlv elected Congress meets, or its doom is ( sealed. , In pursuance of this defiance of the I known will of the people, President I* Harding' appeared before the discred-1c ited Congress and urged the passage of the bill, and every "lame duck" in * Congress Quacked approval. Under a special rule the House will 1 vote on this bill November 29th, thus 1 limiting debate in that body, so that ! the bill, if passed, may be passed before the public will have time to read , and digest the arguments acainst it. 1 Prcsidert Harding's Ship Bonus ad- , dress contained most of the fallacious 1 arguments which Chairman LasV^r . has been making in his nropnrnnda throuprh the press much of which has j alreadv hecn refuted. and the balance v of which can be as easily refuted. . o ; Ships Without Cargoes * i ' The outstanding fac,t in the whole < controversy is that the operation of the merchant marine under' Mr. Las- \ ker has been a failure.

As a matter of fact, the President's shin bonus bill had been tfie subiect \\ of discissions in the press in the nolitical forum for several months before the election.

GERMANS PLAN BIG REVENGE That the Germans are actively planning a war of revenge, chiefly .against Fiance, for which purpose they have concluded a-secret military agreement with Russia, is the main point to a "memorandum by a person close touch with Hie ^est irfo'^ed German circles in Berlin and Munich," communicated to The Daily Mail, which displays it under big headlines in London. Eng. The paper claims to have made exhaustive inquiries in Germany, London and Pari1; into the memorandum's accuracy with the result The Mail says that it has been very largly supnovtcd thereby. Except for precise derails The Mail's story does not differ materially from similar statements printed from time to time in anti-Gevnvm papers. The memorandum particularly says with respect to a tiered arrangements to enable Germany to uti'ize Russia's resources, including complete internal reorganiration, which will make Russia capable of supporting both herself and Germ/my, so that Germany may ignore any sea blockade. It says that German armament firms wilt establish factories in Rus sia, whose armies will he equipped thereby, and submarines and mine layers will he huilt in Russian dock yards under German guidance and manned by Russian crews under German officers. Poland is to he crushed and .annexed by Russia, so as to give Russia sind Germany a common frontier. The Mail claims that its inquiries regarding the memorandum have elicited the fact that 500 German officers are now in Moscow carrying out the conditions of the secret .agreement; that many engineers from Krupp's havo begun the reorganization of Russian munitions works, while German engineers are also reconditioning the Russian railroads to the Polish front.
