S. H. Aby, Veteran Editor of Crystal
Springs, Retires.

Crystal Springs, Miss, Sept. 80. -
Announcement is made this week
through the columns of the Crystal
Springs Meteor, the local paper, of
the voluntary retirement from the
publication of that paper Of S. H.
Ably, veteran editor, who has presid-
ed over the destinies of the Meteor
for the last 80 years or more. Mr..
Ably announces in his retiring that
after the loss by fire Of his plant
some weeks ago that he felt that it
would be unwise at his age to resume
the worry that rebuilding the plant
would entail and he has therefore de-
cided to retire from active business
to his private study and spend the
remainder of his days with his fam
lily and in reading, writing ana
ruminating," He has sold the Me-
teor to Frank Goodwin, who has been
business manager.
The Leader regrets the retirement
of Mr.. Ably, who, however, at his
time Of life should enjoy the fruits
of his labors in the editorial chair
and in newspaper activities. Mr.. Ably
is a gifted writer. However, we ex-
tend the glad hand to his successor
and expect to retain our interest in
The Meteor.

preached on How to Get Married,
Stay Married and Be Happy
though Married No one won the
prize and we suspect the reason was
that his subject was interesting
enough to keep the audience awake
Many pastors the country over
are wise to the same idea of the
Miami pastor, even though they
don't all offer prizes for sonambu-
lism. They preach on subjects that
are alive with the issues of the day
rather than on issues and theories
that have long since been consign-
ed 10 the dead past.
Present day problems alt OF
themselves so complex and call for
so much strength OF character to
solve them, that the average man
and women have little interest for

CARNIVAL SITES

Much complaint has been register
ed because OF the location Of car
nival on West Main street, adjacent

complaint, but no more basis be-
cause it happens to be located in
one particular neighborhood than
another.

term nuisance, but the residents
Of any other part of town, whether

The principal issue that should
be raised here and one that the

from such shows legitimate, and
we believe II is.
1t Isn't so much the carnival itself
that needs guarding against as the
class of people who follow along
with carnivals, the camp-followers,
the riff-raff element.
The Ardmoreite would like to see
the city not only investigate every
carnival that applies here, but 60 to
the residents adjoining prospective
sites for the carnivals and find out
if there is no opposition to their
showing. No carnival should be al

Here is balm for the present sit

the deceptive psychology OF the
