THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS.
Though the nation is undergoing a
readjustment period that brings with it
serious problems for large blocks ot
Brookhaven citizens, mundane difficul
ties cannot be allowed to interfere with
the joyous holiday spirit. "Christmas
only comes once a year,” the saying goes
and the inherent gladness concerned
with the event will outweigh much if
not all the sadness brought about by
conditions over which no one has con
trol.
It does not require the maximum ot
prosperity to serve as a background to
enjoy Christmas. The anniversary ot
the birth of the Christ is presaged on
a condition of the heart as much as
upon exterior influences. That being
the case, a man, woman or child may
be poor in this world’s goods, but so
long as there is that richness of spirit
that Aias its seat in the heart there will
be cause for rejoicing.
The children of Brookhaven, rich and
poor, have been prepared for the hap
py season. Every parent in the com
munity will endeavor to provide as joy
ous a holiday season as their means
will allow, Our young innocents are
entitled to the best that every parent
can give, for the happy Christmas days
of youth are remembered throughout
life—in fact, they have come to be part
of life itself.
The children of the poor are entitled
to a joyous Christmas as much as the
children of the rich. It therefore be
hooves those in good circumstances to
hearken to the needs of the tots whose
parents are not in good circumstances.
Borne of the children of the poor will
have but the shell of a Christmas to
enjoy if the more prosperous do not do
their Christian duty.
The motto of the community this
Christmas should be that not a child
here but should be made happy. Let the
spirit of Christmas All all hearts.
He in whose honor the day is -set apart
said that it is more blessed to give than
to receive; if therefore behooves those
able to give generously to accept their
privileges.
Santa Claus' headquarters are in the
stores of Brookhaven. It is a treat to
any child to be shown Santa’s toys,
which are on display. Let the children
feast their eyes; let the children feel
assured that they will not be forgotten
and when Christinas morn breaks, if all
citizens meet their opportunities, there
will not be a child in Lincoln County
but who will experience the gratest hap
piness that can come into a child's

PISE PROTECTION AND INSURANCE
RATES.
Tlie suit tiled in Chaneery Court a
gainst a number of Fire Insurance
Companies by State Revenue Agent
Stokes V. Robertson is creating a stir
and criticism pro and con—mostly the
latter—is going the rounds of the press,
as is usual when officials fail to fol
low custom.
There are so many combines of big
corporations and failures in official du
ty as men in office make their sala
ams" to the powers that be and fill their
pockets with good, fat salaries, that we
are glad to see somebody tackle a great
big job in the interest of his people
like that Mr. Robertson has under
taken. Whether there is guilt or not
the people will be enlightened.
For some time we have been wranting
to say, with no time to say it in, that
with the advent of improved fire pro
tection in Brookhaven, "insurance rates”
have not “gone down” as promised and
in case of small fires the estimated loss
incurred is still subtracted from the to
tal insurance with the result that in
surance companies are "safe” for them
selves under any and all circumstances.
That's good "business policy” of course;
but there's another side.
The public is- taxed for fire protec
tion which lessens danger from fire and
then pays big premiums for thier in
surance policies just the same. Looks
to us as though they pay twice to "in
sure" protection.
Why shouldn’t insurance companies
take a hand in maintaining fire depart
ments where their policies in the vicin
ity justify? There'd be a rush for the
Insurance Company that would do some
thing like that and the people might be
accused of “combining" to defeat busi
ness for the other companies.
--«$»■■
On December 4, the revenue agent
brought suit in the Hinds County Chan
cery Court against 160 companies alleg
ing violations of the anti-trust statutes
by maintaining a standard set of rates.
He asked that the maximum penalty of
15000 per day be imposed upon each
company for a period of eight years dur
ing which time the revenue agent charg
ed the alleged combine was in effect.
The revenue agent also has summoned
all local insurance agents to appear in
Hinds County Chancery Court the first
Monday in January with their office re
cords since 1908.

The Christian Observor of Dec. 8th,
contained a well-written article from
the pen of Irene Vance Olson. Miss Ol
son is a sister of Mrs. A. F. Fogartie,
of Brookhaven; and by request we re
produce for our subscribers for their
Christinas reading the excerpt of the
aiticle as follows;
As the song of the angels guided the
shepherds to Christ, so also Bethlehem's
Star brought the wise men from the
ciast to worship at His feet and be
stow upon Him rich gifts.
There is a legend told of how Thomas,
the doubting disciple, found the Magi
ill the distant east a few years after
Christ's resurrection, and there told
them the full story of Jesus and Bap
tized them. These Magi then went forth
into their countries preaching Christ
and Him crucified, and like so many of
those early Christians died as martyrs
—thus receiving heavenly crowns in re
turn for thpir krifts nf enlri fmnkinpnsp
and myrrh brought to the Infant King
so many years before.
Ever since those gifts of the wise
ineQ, Christian men have been bringing
gifts to Jesus. What we give does not
so much matter as the way in which we
give. Christ's commendation of the wi
dow giving her two mites clearly shows
this. The widow’s heart plus the small
gift which was her all was worth more
than the lordly sums of all those others
who flourished their gold in the eyes of
the passing throng. Truly "The gift
without the giver is bare.”
And so the birthday of the King has
come to be celebrated as a day of giving
and with each gift we bring to Him
we sing again the song, “Glory to God
in the Highest.” How happy we all are
to minister unto the needy at this sea
son of the year and Christ's words: “In
asmuch as ye have done it unto one of
the least of these, my brethren, ye have
done it unto Me,” bring us great peace
and abiding joy.
In giving gifts to our loved ones we
sing anew the angels’ song: “Peace on
the earth, good will to men,” and our
hearts and theirs overflow with joy and
happiness. There is a wonderful bless
ing in giving and a thrilling Joy in re
ceiving.
So many times in trials or in sorrows
we cry loudly, yea, wildly, to God for
mercy, and expect Him to answer us
with just the same degree of sudden
force. Elijah, discouraged and forsaken,
thus waited at Horeb for the voice of
his God, "And, behold a great strong
wind rent the mountains and brake in
pieces the rocks before the Lord; but
the Cord was not in the wind; and af
ter the wind an earthquake; but the
Cord was not in the earthquake; and
after the earthquake, a Are; but the
Cord was not in the fire; and after the
tire a small voice.” It was that still
small voice that filled Elijah with cour
age to depart and fulfill God’s com
mands. It is the still small voice of
God speaking to us at this season of
the year that shall inspire us with a
clearer knowledge of His will for each
of us, and that still small voice shall
tell us how to keep aright the birthday
of the King.
,No matter where you look, nor how
you listen, there is the Christmas rush
—rush—rush in the passing crowds,
and the echo of this mad rush in the air.
We are so busily engaged in the select
ion of material gifts we are very apt
to lose much of the calm which the
Christmas tide will give to us. Oh, let
us realize that the God of materialities
—the God of our immortal souls—is
looking down with yearning, watchful
eye upon His world, and may this reali
zation cause us more potently to feel
His presence and help us more clearly to
hear Him say —“Be still—know that I
am God!”
If I could but think one thought wor
thy of remembrance I would have that
thought this: There is a need—oh, such
a need!—for each one of us to go
apart from the hurrying throngs—if but
for a moment each day—to a quiet spot
under God's great sky and there to com
mune with God until we too can look
with wondering eyes upon a vision as
glorious as was that vision on that first
birthday of our King, and can feel anew
the joy the shepherds felt that night
so long ago in Bethlehem.

Iowa Manufacturer Makes A
Statement to The Public
Regarding Tanlac.
“I have been benefitted by
Tanlac even beyond my belief
and feel that it is time for me
to talk for the benefit of others”
said J. D. Wilson, secretary and
general manager of the Algona
Brick and Tile Co., of Algona,
Iowa.
"For three years, continued
Mr. Wilson, “I suffered from
nervous indigestion and a gener
al run down condition. My
stomach was too weak to retain
enough of what I ate to keep up
my strength and I gradually
went down hill all the time.
What nourishment I took soured
almost at once, and gas would
press up against my heart caus
ing palpitation, shortness of
breath and intense pain. My
kidneys were in bad shape and
the small of my back hurt almost'
constantly. No treatment or
medicine did me any good, I
lost weight all the time and was
worried for fear I would never
be able to get well.
“Finally a friend advised me
to try Tanlac, and it has not
only relieved all my troubles en
tirely but I have gained twenty
four pounds in weight and feel
that,I have been given a new
lease on life. I eat anything
now. Why, yesterday I ate steak
and onions for dinner and it is
nothing unusual for me to eat
pork, cabbage and pastry and di
gest them perfectly. Tanlac has
simply put me back in fine health
and I am glad to tell the public
what it has done for me, for
many other people who suffer as
I did may be relieved the same
way.”
Tanlac is sold in Brookhaven
by the Peoples Drug Store and
in Bogue Chitto by the Bolian
Mercantile Co.
RUMORS SPREAD TERROR IN
BUSINESS.
Humanity is too careless about re
peating rumors. "They say" has helped
drag down the character of many good
women and has put black spots on the
lives of good men. There ought to be
a way found to deal severely with those
who circulate unfounded rumors which
are calculated to damage character and
business.
In this hour when almost every busi
ness is stretched like a wet shoe string,
those who start reports about firms,
banks and farmers being thrown into
bankruptcy or into the hands of h re
ceiver, should not only be punished for
a crime, but where they have property
that is reachable, should be assessed
with heavy damages. Never before
was there a time when the business in
tegrity of men and of firms should be
handled by the tongues of the public
with such great caie. It is easy enough
to "hear" but difficult indeed to substan
tiate, still wagging tongues have thrown
thousands of banks and other concerns
into financial junk heaps.
Within the last ten days, it has been !
repeated on the streets of Grenada—and
no doubt what is true of Grenada can
be said of other towns—that certain j
prominent business concerns in parts i
of north Mississippi were in the hands ]
ui receivers. turns out that all such
reports were groundless. In truth al- j
most everybody who can, owes heavily j
yet a vast majority are solvent. Con-!
Udence is one of the bed rocks of busi
ness; to undermine this rock now is a
crime against the public. Let there be
little talking, more thinking and increas
ed use of common sense, and the end
will be well. But stop repeating hurt
ful business rumors.—Grenada Sentinel.

HIS SIDE OF CASE
State Revenue Agent Explains Position
Taken Bp Sim In Suits Against
Insurance Companies.
To The People of Mississippi:
As your State Revenue Agent and in
accord with my duty I have tiled a
suit in the Chancery Court of Hinds
County, against a number of Fire Insur
ance Companies, charging them with
violating our antl-truBt statute, the
parts of which that have been violated
being as follows:
3281. (5002.) Definition of term—
Criminal Conspiracy. 1. A trust and
combttie is a combination, contract, un

poration. partnership, individual, or as
sociation of persons aforesaid, shall be
deemed and adjudged guilty of a con
spiracy to defraud, and subject to the
penalties as provided by chapter 145,
of the Code of 1906.
My bill of complaint sets forth facts
well known to all who carry Are in
surance, viz:- that the Fire Insurance
Companies belonging to the trust have
conspired together to place the control
of rates for Are insurance in a corpor
ation at Vicksburg, called the Mississip
pi Inspection and Advisory Rating Bu
reau, which company Axes the rates to
be charged by all the 160 Are insurance
companies, belonging to the trust and
that there is therefore no competition
in lire insurance rates in Mississippi.
The United States Supreme Court has
held that the penalties imposed by one
state will not be enforced by United
States Courts and the Courts of other
states. This made it necessary, in or
der to protect our state's rights, for
me to attach in the hands of the local
agents for these Are insurance compa
nies, the funds collected by these a
cuiuyaiues, irum me aay
of service of process, in most cases
December 17th, 1920, to January 3rd,
1921. The funds garnished or attached
being only the collections of a little
more than two weeks. The attaching
of these funds means only that the
agents of these Fire Insurance Compa
nies are required to hold the money in
their hands until the court decides the
case and decides whether the agents
shall pay the money to the companies
or shall pay it to the state for the
violation by these companies of our
wholesome laws against trusts and com
bines.
I understand from the papers of the
City of Jackson that these companies
rather than permit two weeks collect
ions to be held in their agents hands
.by order of the court, are threatening
to withdraw from the State, and leave
business people as they have left farm
ers for many years, without fire pro
tection.
Their attitude is like that of the na
tion that adopted frightfulness as its
means of warfare. Their attitude Is
what has been termed by the Supreme
Court of another state as rebellious and
retaliatory. Think of it: They have
been taking out of Mississippi some
thing over $6,500,000 per year in pre
miums; but are, or pretend to be, un
willing to leave two weeks collections
of premiums in their own Mississippi
Agents hands until a court can pass
on their guilt or innocence! Is it pos
sible that these companies have grown

People With Thin, Weak Blood
Have a Hard Time of It.
They Should Take
Pepto-Mangan.
Look at the facts of your
health. So much depends on
having red blood. If you stand
up in front of your work with
half-starved blood in your sys
tem you are standing in your
own way. You are blocking your
own progress.
Thin blood makes you dull. It
makes you pale. You take no
enjoyment out of your work. It
is only half as good as it should
be.
You can remedy that condition
so easily. Begin taking that fine
tonic, Pepto-Mangan, today and
keep it up for awhile. Your blood
will become nourished. Pepto
Mangan makes red blood corpus
cles. You will get energy and
strong power of resistance. In
stead of standing in your own
way, you will push yourself a
head because of greater vitality.
But be sure you get the gen
uine Pepto-Mangan. It is put up
in both liquid and tablet form.
Ask for “Gude’s” and be sure
that the name is on the package.
The tablets or the liquid have
the same medicinal value.

Much has been said in certain papers
about this suit and particularly about
the aggregate of the penalties which the
court may impose under the law, but
little attempt has been made to show
that these companies have not violated
the statute above quoted. Those who
have been paying for fire protection
during recent years at ever increasing
rates, know that these Companies have
violated that law and that it is the
consciousness of guilt that causes them
to want to flee from the state.

Volstead Opposes Wets’
Wine and Beer Program
Congressman Volstead, chairman of
the House Judiciary Committee and
author of the national dry enforcement
law, assures his dry friends in Wash
ington that he is quite well satisfied
with the operation of the law and con
tends that it is not drastic. Mr. Vol
stead is opposed to permitting the man
ufacture or sale of light wines or beer.
On this point he is quoted:
Each state that has had to enforce
a Prohibition law has found it essential
to prohibit not only liquor that is re
cognized as intoxicating, but all forms
of such beverage that can be used as
a subterfuge for stronger drinks, un
less the alcoholic content is so low that
It can be readily distinguished from the
ordinary intoxicating liquor.
Congressman Volstead denies that
there is any indication that a reaction
against Prohibition has set in.

An Effective System.
A traveling salesman who was here
the other day told of entering a res
taurant in a certain town not far from
Brookhaven. Things did not look very
neat, but it was the only, place in town
and he was hungry. “What have you
to eat?" he asked the waiter, as there
was no printed menu in sight. The
waiter took a long breath and rattled
oa a long string of articles. “Tou have
a good memory," remarked the hungry
man. "No. sir,” replied the waiter, "I
just look at the table cloth and the
towel.” .' V
