THURSDAY, JUNE 20, 1922.


for the house of representatives
in the Democratic primary this
year, and The Times hopes that
he will be elected. For several
years prior to the session of the
Legislature which began in 1921
Mr.. McLaurin represented Marl-
boro county in the house. 1t is
neither fulsome praise nor flat
terry to say that he measured up
to the high standards which the
people have'a right to expect Of
the men they send to Columbia
to make laws for them. Always
reliable, always attentive to his
duties and always conSiderate of
others, there was no more popu-
lar member of the house during
the years he occupied a seat i'll
that body than Mr.. McLaurin.
Two years ago he failed of reelec-
tion by few votes, due to the
fact that he was i'll and could
not make the campaign. Since
then the people of Marlboro
doubtless have walked up to the
fact that they made a mistake in
not reelecting him. This year.
they will have the opportunity to
rectify the mistake and it will be
not only to their own interest for
them to do so, but to the interest
of the whole State. There is
widespread complaint of extrav-
agance and unnecessary eXpendi-
lures in the conduct of the State
government, and much Of the
complaint is justified. There is
way to end this extravaganza.
That way lies in the election to
the Legislature of men who will
not fall under the influence of
the appropriation lobbyists, who
are on the. job from the day the
session begins until it ends urg
ing the expenditure Of money for
one purpose and another, regard
less of what it means to the peo-
pie when tax paying time comes
round. Mr.. McLaurin is acquaint-
ed with the Legitimate needs of
the State, as was illustrated when
he and another member of the
house at the 1920 session Of the
Legislature cut from the appro-
priation bill for that year nearly
100000, and he may be depended
upon to promote the sort of econ
omy the people are demanding.
The American Red Cross fig
ures that Americans have given
$50 million dollars to relieve war
distress in Europe. Cynics, with
acid temperaments, will say that
this is little more than $3.50 for
each OF us. However, it is equiv
alent TO half q million men donat-
ing the entire fruits of their la
Dor for whole year. 1t would
be q cold day in August before
Europe would do as much for
this country.
The gates that will eventually
open for all Of us opened few
days ago for William Rockefei-
fer, one of Americas s richest men.
Rockefeller counted his millions
by the score, yet when he passed
away he could not take so much
as dime Of it with him. 1t is
doubtful whether he got as much
real pleasure out of life as the
cornfield negro who is working
for dollar a day and who, with
his CHEEKY disposition and simple
wants, does not worry over what
the morrow win bring forth. He

about on his bed for hours think
ing of a way to do the public out
OF more money. Not that the ne
gro is always honest. There are
many dishonest negroes; but
usually their dishonesty takes the
form of pilfering small articles,
and it is doubtful if everything
ever stolen by every negro born
in the South in the last hundred
years approximated in value the
big thefts of half dozen or more
millionaires of this country who
spent all their lives evolving
schemes to take. from the public
sums to which they were not en-
titled. Not in the newspapers we
have seen has there been much
said in praise of the life of Will
liam Rockefeller. His days seem
to have been spent in piling up
eli immense fortune, while he de.
voted little or no thought to anne

IS concerned (and the situation III

Supper to City
Employees Great

The annual supper rendered the Of
ficials Of the City of Bogalusa and
the members of the police and fire
departments by Commission of Pub
lie Health and Safety, J. B. Lindsey,
at the Pine Tree Inn last Thursday
was the most enjoyable and success
full of any of the banquets that have
heretofore been given by Commits
sioner Lindsey.
AS matter of fact, each year has
shown and improvement and those
who attended Thursday night cannot
imagine anything that will make next
years banquet more successful or en-
joyable. There was an abundance of
birds, and they were properly cooked
and served with everything that goes
with them. The only complaint is
that the service was so good that the
food was being removed before the
hungry ones were through eating.
Commissioner Lindsey presided as
POSTMASTER in his unique style, and
created much merriment and received
frequent applause. He told a few
jokes of which Mayor Sullivan and
City Attorney Talley were the VIC
times, and the speakers who followed
took the same course.
Mayor Sullivan, Commissioner Cas-
sidy, Commissioner Starns, Judge
OFT, K. /. Bean, Superintendent Rat
lift, City Collector Wood, o. J. Sher-
man, Deputy Sheriff Booty, City At
torney Talley all responded with short
talk, paying compliments to the police
and fire departments.
Commissioner Lindsey thought the
departments were getting too much
praise and told the speakers of it.
When they continued in the same
line, he promised to have a lot of
complaints to bring against them at
the banquet next year.

CHRISTMAS CLUB A
SYSTEMATIC SAVINGS PLAN

We are pleased to announce that
the Washington Bank and Trust Co.
Of our city has started a new plan
for saving money. 1t is called the
Christmas Club.
The plan is very simple. The Wash
ingtOn Bank and Trust Company will
furnish to anyone who calls, either
man, woman or child, an attractive
Christmas Club Pass Book.
The smallest amounts for which &C
counts can be opened are 1c. &c, sc
or 10c, and think Of it. With this
small beginning the club member will
have, at the end of so weeks, either
$3.50, $3.50, $63.75 or $127.50.
Your first deposit made with only 1c,
&c, sc or 10c, and you increase your
deposit this same amount each week.
The bank also offers what they
term an even amount club plan,
whereby you start with either 25c,
SOC, 81, 50, SIS, $40, $40 or more and
deposit this same amount each week
for a period of so weeks. At the end
Of this time at his option the club
member may draw all or a part of
this Christmas Club money for his
CLElSLIndS neeuS OF else leave ali VI
a part of the club money stay in the
Washington Bank and Trust Com
pany to open a regular new bank ac-
count or to add to an existing bal
ance.
The main idea in the Christmas
Club is, that when a person joins, he
makes up his mind, then and there,
to go through with the plan and setc
for himself a goal.
This campaign for thrift is Ger
tainly to be commended and the
Washington Bank and Trust Com,
many is to be congratulated for of.
fering such an attractive system to
everyone for saving money
