this week when Washington & jeff
erson college, rivals OF almost thirty
years, will come here 70 close the
Mountaineer season. The band, of
course, is out at all baseball and foot
ball games, but for basketball 1t is
a most unusual thing for the organiza-
ton TO turn out. Unusual interest in
Saturday nights conflict Is respons-
ible for the decision OF the band lead
ers to turn. out.
\ Locally the Wash-Jeff game is ex-
citing moro interest than any contest
of the year and 1t is thought that
scores will be turned away from the
ark" The band will be placed on
the same side of the hall as that on
which reserved seats are sold and this.
Of course, will cut down the number
of available reserved seats by the num-
er in the band, or about sixty.
Coach Stadsvod worked his squad
hard yesterday and the same program
lis on for today, following rest Mon
day and Tuesday. Every player ex-
ccpt Morrison appears to be in good
condition and the. only places at which
1t is uncertain as to whom will play
is at center where Gaines or Kiger
may be used and at right forward
where either Hill or Outright may
perform. Hawkins is certain to play
at guard in Morrison's place.

Z We begin this week the publica-
tion of Santa Claus letters. We are
always glad when the season comes
to favor the little ones. They are
the salt of the earth. God bless their
trusting little souls. If there is any
man callous enough to destroy the
ideals of Santa Claus, he ought to
leave town or hide until after the
holidays. There is no good resting
place in the world. for this kind of a
man. He is a kill joy, and the milk
of human kindness is not in him.
Bring in your letters, be brief and.
If we have the time and space the
letter is yours and the pleasure ours.

Mrs. K. A. Cooper. State chairman
of the Democratic Dollar Campaign
has appointed Miss Eunice Macaulay,
Of Walhalla, as chairman Of this
campaign in Occnee county. AS the
time Is so short, Miss Macaulay will
not have time to organize the county

and it is earnestly hoped that tho
patriotic women OF Oconce county
will take advantage OF this opprotu-
nifty to help their party.
Contributions will be accepted by
the Courier and acknowledged each
week through its columns. also at
the Bank Of Walhalla and tho Enter
prise Bank, Walhalla. and any other
banks in the county where it may be
more convenient for contributors to
deposit their dollars.
1t should be looked upon by all
patriotic women as n privilege to
be allowed to contribute to the Dem
ocratic campaign fund. and every
woman in Oconee county is urged to
give her dollar

Stoddard, young white man who
lives on DR.. B. F. Sloan's place, was
1olted from an automobile driven by
John Allen. He was thrown violently
to the ground, on his face, sustain
| ing serious cuts and bruises. Four of
MS teeth were knocked out, his nose
broken and his mouth cut. The dri-
yer or the truck, who Is almost deaf,
did not know that his passenger had
fallen from the truck. and therefore
did not stop. Rev. Ballenger, who
was driving from West Union, wit
| messed the accident and picked up
the unfortunate young man, bring
ing him to Bells Drug Store, where
DR.. b.. F. Sloan rendered the neces-
! sary medical and surgical attention
| as the case demanded, and the pa
tient was doing as well as could be
expected. We do not know that any
blame In this instance attaches to
the driver. but It Is Just as we'll to
call attention to the recklessness Of
many auto and truck drivers on the
streets OF our town, and the menace
OF small children driving cars pro-
miscuously about the streets is be-
coming more and more noticeable to
both pedestrians and drivers Of cars.
II we mistake not, 1t Is unlawful for
any person under Is years OF age to
operate a motor-driven vehicle on
the streets OF Walhalla, and we are
OF the opinion that this Is a mighty
good law to enforce. The State law,
we believe, fixes the age under which
It IS an offense to drive motor ve-
hicle at 12 yaers. We frequently see
children OF age considerably less than
~ driving cars In Walhalla. It Is a
practice that parents should see stop
ped. They can certainly see that the
law Is enforced by preventing its in
traction through home discipline.

tho Ford break last week, was OF a
similar trand n sava.

tho Ford break last week. was OF a
similar trend. 1t says:
with more general recognition
Of the fact that commercial revival
awaits mainly on lower prices, tho
| way is being gradually shaped for
| subsequent Improvement in condi-
tons. Months Of curtailed demand
! have weakened the position of many
sellers, and downward revisions of
prices, II belated in certain quarters,
are now Of frequent occurrence. This
phase is again illustrated by Dun's
list Of wholesale quotations, which
his week SHOWS for tho nineteenth
week preponderance Of recessions
'The reluctance Of some interests
to operate on closer margin Of pro-
fit after the abnormal gains Of the
late boom period. still tends to delay
Il seasonable development Of business
in various lines. but the effects OF
banking restrictions and consumers
waiting attitude are forcing the in
evitable readjustment, and signs Of
renewed activity are beginning to
appear in some channels where the
price-yielding has heen substantial.
While potential requirements are
satisfy immediate wants is a policy
adhered to by most merchants. and
is one which suggests lack OF ap-
prehenSion OF shortage Of supplies
to follow
These reports Of the two leading
commercial reviewers are somewhat
reassuring They show that even at
this late day. Il price-readj justin
can be met and the level lowered
if actual existing conditions are per-
mitted to operate in their natural
channel. We have had enough-and
to Spare-of fctitiOusly caused price
raising and shortage scares. 1t is
high time that the business Of the
country should be gradually showed
back into natural channels, upon a
sound level, and by cool, well-con-
sidered methods. There is always
danger in readjustments. In the
present situation, as we see it, the
greatest danger and menace lie in
any effort to further force prices up,
or to even maintain present high lev
els. The readjustment has to come,
and the sooner we get down to the
business Of stabiliZing the commerce
OF the country on something like a
normal basis, the better for all con-
cerned.
We have the first local indication
of return to a safer and saner plane
in the announcement Of one Walhalla
merchant Of a cut in prices on his
entire stock-groceries excepted-to
the extent Of ten per cent Others
will do WELL we think, to follow the
lead Of G. w. Pitchford.
The Ford reductions are also felt
locally. the Piedmont Motor Co., Of
Walhalla. giving this week the new
price Oh all Ford cars and tractors.
