To the Readers of the good old Press
and Banner:
Last year we wished for you q
merry Christmas and happy New
Year. This year we are going to
ask in return, that you join with us
in an earnest prayer for "Peace on
Earth and Good Will Among Men,"
Just so long as men are being
bathed in blood it is impossible for
us to have a merry Christmas. Signs
of peace are seen over the distant
waves. Let us trust that in the prov
idence of God it may shine forth in
all its splendor, even before the New
Year dawns. So much have we to be
thankful for, with prosperity Oil ev-
| cry hand that it is indeed hard to
realize anything of the sufferings of
those across the seas.
Let us pause in our money-making
long enough to send up plea to our
gracious Heavenly Father that peace
may come and come quickly and that
the many shattered homes across the
water be rebuilt, and the broken
hearted healed, the dear little ones,
who are left orphans may be COM
forted and Christmas joys be theirs,
and that God will enable us that we
might live more right and do unto
others as we wish to be done by.

twenty-five persons were arrested
with selling whiskey and the town

was as dry as bone last night.
There are more warrants to serve
but these names, of course, cannot
be given out as it would be too in
teresting. Evidently not few had
'tgot word" of something yesterday
afternoon for reports had reached
the sheriff of some who had not wait
ed for steam car, trolley or jitney
but had hit the woods and there is
no telling where they are by this
time.
The newspaper man, Of course, is
interested only in getting the news.
For some of the youthful prisoners
arrested, deepest pity is felt. In ad-
dition to the pathos, however there
was quite bit of humor in the sit
uation. -.
For instance, yesterday afternoon
when The Index man went over to
get q list of the men arrested, the
Sheriff was found at the jail. While
he was there talking, Mr.. Ernest
Waits came up to see his brother,
Will Waits, who was one of those
arrested. He did not know that
there was warrant out for him too.
Sheriff Mcmillan opened the door Of
the cell and gently pushed him in
side with his brother. When he
found himself on the inside looking
out instead of on the outside looking
in as he had been only few NOM
ents before, his only comment was,
ssWell, I'll be durned." The sound
ed like house party was being held
there. The conversation was varied.
The white men arrested so far are:
Press Sisk, Ruby Cole, Grady Varna-
dore, Paul Murphy, James Murphy,

Three negroes arrested are: Son

Mr.. Berry Hughes did not go to
Jail, depositing q certified check for

bond yesterday afternoon also and
80 was Grady Varnadore. It was
interesting to watch the groups on
the streets yesterday and around the
Jail. All Of the arrested men have
their friends and relatives and these
were greatly concerned. It was in
teresting to hear the comments on
the detectives who worked up the
cases. All knew just exactly who it

That the war has not caused a ces-

young man who recently left New
York for the front with the Yale unit.
Carter arrived safely in Paris, and
shortly afterward had an opportunity
of making a round OF La Boulie links.

This is the course where Francis

Louis Martucci, the one-armed profes-
sIonal at the South Orange Field Club.
Carter arrived in Paris at the same
time as General Pershing. He has
been taken in hand by six one-armed
players, who insist that this brand OF
golf is the coming style in Europe.
Phil reports that there are plenty OF

McGRAW CHARGE HAS
ECHO IN SLEEPTOWN
Bob Maxwell Points Motto IN a
Sarcastic Vein.

From everywhere come comments
by baseball writer's on the National
League situation arising from the
withdrawing Of John ]. "MuEEsy''
McGraw, manager Of the Giants.
Here's a sarcastic bit from Robert w.
Maxwell, sports editor Of the Phila-
delphia Evening Ledger:
las an anti-climax with all the
fancy trimmings, recommend us to
the denouement OF the McGraw cpl
sode. The Giants well-known peppery
manager was fined and suspended by
President Tener, following which a
broadside journalistic outburst ap-
peared. in which President Tener was
lambasted. vilified. and defied. Then
came the special meeting OF league di-
rectors called for the purpose of see
ing what might be their attitude to-
ward the decision OF the league presi-
dent in furnishing the Giant manager
for his assault on Umpire Byron and
has variously reported verbal assaults
upon the leagues chief.
zone Of the bloodiest little encoun-
tiers was predicted since the Germans
were forced back at Verdun. But did II
come across according to schedule?
Hardly. Instead OF the hand gren-
ade, the liquid fire and the asphyxia-
ting gases, Mr.. McGraw sent in
through the malls q sweetly scented
missIve. He not only didn't say any
thing off color about Mr.. Tener. he
declared, but he hadn't even read the
rough stuff. He hadn't even thought
anything naughty about the league
boss, and IL he had. he wouldn't have
told q lot OF imaginative and mali
cious newspaper scribes. The whole
thing was a practical joke at his ex-
pense, and he was mighty sorry about
It.
Moral: Never talk to the poor
newspaper guys at all They are look
ing for opportunities to get other peo-
pie in trouble and to have themselves
shown up as fabricators. This applies
especially to partisan reporters like
the flock OF New York scribes who
personally staked their regulations
for veracity upon the now branded
fake interviews with the mild manner
ed and much-slandered Mr.. McGraw."
