PAY DEBTS NOW.

There never was time for paying debts like the present There never was a time when the prompt pay ment of debts meant so much to the general welfare of the community.
 The most effective policy to secure the full return of prosperity is the policy of general and universal debt paying. Under existing conditions a man helps himself in a material way by paying his own debts. He Is bound to share in the re-establishsd prosper ity. which would inevitably follow the inauguration of such a policy.
 How can prosperity be completely restored, is question which has been uppermost in the minds of the busi- ness men throughout the year. The concrete answer to that question is, By everybody paying debts" Nor can anybody doubt the wisdom of the answer. Sucfr>a policy would in two weeks restore the Alabama prosperity VA eAiASSil AAtoiltiiS d5os
 It would mean the large increase of the volume of money circulation throughout the South. Nobody can deny that. If 1t were possible for every Alabama merchant to have every account on his books paid with in the next two weeks. there would be no commercial problem In the State. The State for that reason only, would be among the most prosperous of the Union.
 To each man the question should present itself. My debts are due, why should I not pay them?" If he does that prosperity. to which the whole State is looking ionging1y. would need no further invitation.
 There are men with convenient hank accounts. who are holding of from debt paying. under the belief that times are not propitious for letting money loose. There are men under circumstances that have existed for the past year who have held to their cash and let their bank accounts go untouched while they have put of their creditors from time 10 time. pur- suing the selfish policy of holding to what they have rather than settle their just obligations.
 This policy more than anything else has hurt the commercial interests of Alabama. The time has come for | its abandonment
 The question of personal honor is ! involved, for the man who promises

to bay his debt on a certain day and puts off his creditor on that day. has his own conscience to satisfy. The straightforward, honest policy to pursue. the policy most needed at this juncture is the prompt payment of every obligation as 1t 6alls due. The issue now is not only one of personal honor. but of public policy as we'll.
 How are ollections2"-sueh is the great business question. The answer to 1t describes prosperity or financial panic. When debts are paid. business is always good: when they are not paid times are always hard. When the panic comes most unpaid debts are always it's most unpleasant con sequence; when debts are paid busi- ness needs no other stimulus.
 The prompt payment of debts now is a public service which each man owes.

The outlook BrlghtenIng.


 It has been only about three weeks since the Presidential election, but in that brief period a large improvement has been made in industrial and com rnercial fields. The removal of the dis turbing influence of national political campaign was the signal for a renewal which were on the waiting list resumed operations immediately following tbe election. and preparations for the es- tabltshment of new enterprises which were contingent upon the election have been pushed with additional Yigor of late.
 A feature of the situation is the re- sumption of many plants that were shut down temporarily as a result of the panic of last fall and the depression that followed. Many factories which were running on part time increased their forces and capacities, while from all parts of the country come reports of the organization of new mpanies and the establishment of new plants
 The railroads which were preparing to begin extensive improvements after the election have ordered large quanti- ties of new equipment and supplies. In many cases their roadbeds and rolling stock had run down, With the revival of business activity and the constantly brighteuing outlook for a heavy in crease of traffic the railroads are
 
 business. Nearly all the large systems in the country are improving their equipment and increasing their forces
 The mercantile interests of nearly every part of the country are taking a very much more hopeful view of the situation. They are much more cond- dent and are preparing for a good bus. mess during the coming year. With splendid crops and the best prices for years. with political agita. tion removed for some time to make room for business. with good physica conditions and 8 return of confidence prosperity is exceedingly encouraging. Have you been keeping up with some of the many indications of a revival oi business in this part of the country | Here are a few more reported durIns l the last twenty-four hours Frisco railroad making extensive ad | ditions of equipment and supplies.

THANKSGIVING DAY.

This is the day set apart by cus- tom and executive proclamation as a general day of Thanksgiving! It would be well if the day could be universally observed by all who have it in their power to do so. Unfortu- nately there are many. very many, to whom the day is only a name. so far as opportunity for enjoying it is concerned With them there Is no cessation of labor, no rest from the daily grind of business and exertion. and no opportunity to enjoy rest and ease at home and meet around the family table to enjoy the dinner pro- vided flor the occasion. They may read about the observancss of the day. and hear others speak of it. but none of it's enjoyment Is for them.
 But there are very many to whom fortune and fate have been more kind and they can and should enjoy and observe the day as fully as Hes in their power. After all, there is much for us to feel thankful for. Life itself is a blessing that we do not al- ways think of as we should, and when to actual living is added health. competence. loving family and loyal friends, ought we not in all sincerity to return most grateful and profound thanks to the great giver Of all good for what we have? As a people we are free from the hardships, expenses and horrors of war; the panic that swept over the country Is subsiding and better times are on us; crops are good and there Is promise of plenty to sustain life. In short when we look around and read of the troubles and misfortunes in other lands we should be an ungrateful people if we could not observe this day in both letter and spirit and rejoice that all Is as well with us as 1t is We may not observe the day just as those old Puritan colonists did almost three cen. turies ago, when in 1921, Governor Bradford issued proclamation call ing on the colonists to meet together and give thanks for the first good harvest they had reaped, but we can find so much to be thankful for that 1t will be ungratefui if we neglect to observe the day as far as conditions and circumstances permit in each case. One day In each year can well be de- voted to returning thanks to God for the blessings we enjoy.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2e. 1908.

A woman, one of the, social leaders has brought suit against the pastor of a Methodist Church in that neigh borhood for S10,000 damages because in one of his sermons he is said to have referred to her as "a devil incar- nate-a devil from hell" Several fined $500 for using language in the pulpit which was not polite, to say inc least and this suit has been brought by the social leader of Jones boro for $1O,0O0 damages. In this country, where there is no church aho M State should interfere In this way with fine nrocIamations of the ehurchH- Charleston News and Courier.
 Our Charleston contemporary must have been joking when it asked that question. A preacher Is just as amen able to the law as any other man; and what Is more. he has no more legal right to use offensive and insult ing language in the pulpit than in any other public place. Morally he has less right. for the pulpit Is looked on as a place where the laws of de- cency and propriety should be strict lv observed. The courts should not only give the woman damages but should punish the preacher for so in sulting her. There is no question of church and State involved.
