Decision Of Character.

Another advantage of this character
is that 1t exempts from a great deal
OF interference and obstructive annoy
ance which an irresolute man may
be almost sure to encountsr. Weak
ness In every form tempts arrogance,
and man may be allowed to wish for
kind Of character with which stupid
ity and impertinence may not make so
free. When firm, decisive spirit is rec
ognized, it is curious to see how the
space clears around a man, and leaves
him room and freedom.

Latin word rivals" pertaining to a

that the neighbors who lived along
the river bank and used the same
source for water would sometimes
quarrel about their rights and per

Martin Andersen, Jr.
With Associated Press

Martin Andersen, Jr., who some
time ago went to New Orleans from
the Beaumont (Texas) Journal, as a
reporter for the New Orleans States,
has accepted a position as night edi-
tor Of the old reliable Associated
Press at New Orleans.
Andersen left a promising position
as news editor Of 24-page daily in
Texas to enter the field of journalism
in the Crescent City. He started at
the bottom rung of the ladder-as a
reporter-with the New Orleans
States. Since that time he has been
promoted to copy reader, rewrite and
assistant city editor.
The Associated Press has drawn
many able men from the lure of the
street and newspaper desk. In fact
the work is quite similar, if it be
more painstakingly accurate, as that
on newspaper. Andersen was
tempted with an offer and he accept
ed.
The young man is the son of Mr.
and Mrs. M. Andersen, 710 Main st.
of this city. He served The Daily
Commonwealth two years ago as botl
"star" and ''cub" reporter, city ane
telegraph editor and makeup, fol
Lowing his disability discharge from
the service.

YOUNG PEOPLE
TEACH SEDlTION
Socialist Leagues To Instruct Children
Are Formed Throughout State
New York
Associated Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 20-Agents of
the joint legislative committee inves-
tigating seditious activities have dis
covered that Young Peoples Socialist
Leagues to teach Communism have
been formed in all the important cit
les of New York State, says Deputy
Attorney General Berger. In Roch-
ester. and some upstate centers, he
declared, Junior Leagues have been
ORGANIZED to sow the Communist seed
among children.
"The committees Investigators
have discovered in Rochester and
some other important centers up
state that the Young Peoples Social
ist League, an off-shoot of the Social
ist Party of America and commonly
called 'Ypsels,' has aligned itself with
the Communists and is devoting its
time and attention to spreading the
principles Of Communism" Mr.. Ber-
ger said.
"The investigators have discovered
that the 'Ypsels' have formed Junior
leagues of girls and boys between Il
and Is, to teach them the principles Of
| Communism. There is evidence to in
dicate that a large part Of this in
struction is given in schools conducted
on Sundays, some of which are callet
Sunday Schools"
'Those whose memory extends bacl
further than day will recall tina
during the war the 'Ypsels' were quit
prolific in teaching and encouraging
Young men to become 'Conscientiou
Objectors.' The leagues are all owe
the state, in all the important cities.

Condition Everywhere

The roads throughout this section,
which are not gravelled are in
worse condition than in many years,
accordiny to many residents. The
heavy rams Of the past month have
made the highways impossible in
many sections. A citizen of Drew
who was a visitor in Greenwood yes
terday, stated that in his vicinity
three valuable mules had been killed
by miring in the mud in the public
road. Two Of them, he said, were
drowned when they were unable to
estricate themselves from the mud
The third was entirely exhausted IN

THRIFT WEEK IS
NOW IN PROGRESS
MIR. R. V. Pollard Makes Initial Ad-
dress Saturday-Interestin Meet
ings Held.

The first of the Thrift Week pro-
gram was carried out on Saturday.
Mr.. Pollard made a most interesting
and instructive talk on banks and
what they do to build up communi-
ty. One thing he called attention to is
that because of the thrifty habits OF
the Dutch people "a great Savings
Bank in Holland is now lending at
least $SO,O00,O0O to the people of this
community, and that if the same
thrift prevailed here, or even small
degree of it, there might be in Green
wood a large Savings Bank which
could get for the people of this sec
ton the interest which is now going
to the people of Holland from US. He
gave an interesting account OF how
children might be trained from early
childhood into business habits, by the
parents themselves, instead Of allow
ing them to grow up in perfect ignor-
ance of such, and be compelled to
learn, if they ever do learn, by the
hard knocks which the world in later
| life will teach them with.
! Each day this week there will be an
equally interesting program, instruct
ing the parents along the lines OF
thrift, that their children may have
a better chance in the progress OF the
world than they have had. This aft
ernoon Mr.. Mounger will talk on the
advisability of owning your own home
instead of merely having shelter
as you go along. Tomorrow Mr.. Ham
ner will talk to US about the necesslt.
of making a will, even though W.
have little to bequeath. Every hea'
Of home should attend all thes
meetings, which are held each after
noon at 3 in the Confederate Memor
, ial Building.

Passing Through
Commercial Crisis
Associated Press

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 20-Mexico is
passing through a bitter commercial
crisis as a result of the shortage of
change. Leading commercial houses
in the capital, instead of experiencing
the usual 33 per cent holidays increase
business during December, reported
sales Is per cent less than November.
Without paper currency, the coun-
try depends on gold and silver coin
and the high pirce of silver has caus-
ed an acute shortage of small change,
due to illicit expectation and opera
tions of spectators. Money chang
ers are now charging as high as sew
en- per cent to change gold coin into
silver, and it is reported that gold also
is growing scarce. Some business
houses who tried to use postal and
documentary stamps for change found
themselves breaking the law.
Thus far no method of facilitating
small purchases has been discovered
and, according to semi-official state
ments, the country will be forced to
wait for the price of silver to decline
to secure relief. The silver content
of the lower coinage has been cut
once during the last six months but
even the new coins are being boarded
| for speculation CT exported. While
the mint has been working overtime
for months, it has been found impos-
sible to keep up with demands.

by Rear Admiral Sims, who told
