Letters should not be mailed later than Monday morn ing. Tomorrow wo will all battle with tl <? turks. * * ? Wo have heard a number of rumors as to differences between the city ad ministration and the Reedy River Tower Company. The differences are ol a technical nature! and should be given out In writing tor publication. ? ? ? The people of this county have a| right to he very thankful at this sea son. Their grain and forage crops,. genorally speaking, have been far above the average in quantity and finality, the cottou crop, while not, large, Is larger than last year and Is j bringing a good price, our county has been fairly peaceful, our institutions have prospered, no epidemics of <lis-1 ease have visited us ami in general \ we have fared well. We could have done better; wo could have done worse. We should feel satislied with j our lot and Rive thanks tor the Rood things that have come to us and the, bad things that have passed us by. * * * As each year passes the movement to distribute the voluuio of labor In cident to the Christinas holidays grows more and more in popular fav or. Begun al Hrsl by n few possibly flippant paragraphers in the llOWSpa-1 pi is the slogan "Shop Early" has been taken up by SO many and Used with such telling effect that the salespeo ple and public cat t iers all over the country have found the burden ofi Christmas work greatly lessened. The national govcrniincul Itself has given tho weight of its Influence to tho movement and has assisted in lessen ing the burden of its own employees j !>y providing for delayed delivery of postal packages at Christmas lime. Oifts sent through the mails, if so di rected, will he held at the point of des tination until Christmas eve before de livery is made. Merchants will do tho same thin:; for their customers, hold ing gifts until the time wished for delivery. In fact everything has been done to encourage the movement for early shopping and tho,,- who really have ;i desire to make tin- coming weeks easier upon overworked clerks ami other employes should begin to preparo for Lie holidays now. * ? * The governor inlgl t be sincere in his desire to free one hundred state convicts at Thanksgiving time that they maj eal ?Thanksgiving Dinner"I at home. It may he that he has a real ly soft place in his heart for these unfortunates and that he has no ul terior motive in giving executive 'clemency to so many, It may be. But, upholding and maintaining the majes ty of the law is not and should not bo a matter of sentiment. There is too much at stake. The lives ami fortunes of our people, the virtue of our women ami our progress and ad vancement along every line are all dependent. Upon the stability of the government and to recklessly let down the bars of Justice by a whole sale delivery of crfctlinals is to under mine and to destroy its foundations. We sympathize with criminal; our SOlVOS and we sympathize as wi ll with those against whom the crimes were committed. But the criminal himself nor bis victim are to be solely consid ered In moting out Justice The re sults of crime upon the people gen erally Is the question at stake ami. right or wrong, punishment Is accept ed now as the one method of preven tion. If we are to go to great lalior and expense to carry out our idea as to the prevention of crime ami thon if we are to have the results of our Labors nullified by the sweep of the pen of ono man, then we might as well not have courts and law at all.

The most wonderful fiat however v. .is accom plished by th?- six little dove.-,, better known, so the handbills said, as little "sugar lumps". They too, cli'nibed a ladder again. Tin? manager assisted them by tapping them on the legs. This thrilling act was to he closed by ono of the "sugar lumps" dying for his country and being wrapped in th< stars and stripes.
