The Public Ledger- has enjoyed its most successful year since it was established 28 years ago, and now enjoys the largest circulation of any paper ever published in this section and among the best people the sun ever shown upon, giving us more than 10,000 readers twice-a-week. The Public Ledger extends to its readers throughout the country the Seasons Greetings and wish you one and all, including the dear child ren, a Merry Christmas and a Hap py, Prosperous New Year. It affords us great pleasure to extend the warmest greetings to the very large number who have re cently become membersof the Pub lic Ledger family, and trust they will be pleased with the old relia ble Public Ledger, the paper of the people. " We thank you very kindly for your past patronage and co-operation and assure you that it hast been sincerely appreciated by the editors and loyal and faithful force. As we wish to particitate in the joys of Christmas we shall miss two issues of the paper and again greet jou with the New Year. Christmas Here Again. It has been well said that among all evenings in the year and all the days there is no other evening like the Christmas eve, no other day like Christmas day. Whether the eve and the day be dark and real stormy, or still and fair, does not matter, The difference is not in the weather or the season, but in that more subtle atmosphere which from generation to generation through all the centuries has been our inheritance from that first Christmas eve and a day when a new born babe sent its wailing cry from the manger of Bethlehem. The world looks different through this Christmas atmosphere. How ever, festive or sad the occasion, however gay or gloomy it may be, whatever may be ones surroundings the Christmas feeling is there. No one may say just where it lies. It is like an -unseen halo that glorifies and makes holy every good thought and impule, while . it reveals in darker relief whatever is tragic, unworthy or vicious. A great dis aster on Christmas eve or day shocks u as it does at no other season; a great joy comes in that, sweet rai ment of gladness that only Christ mas brings. Through nineteen cen turies has this light lingered around the hearts of men, and through all those ages it has not grown dim. Year after year slips by and is ad ded to the past. But with each Christmas eve add day our 'homes and our streets and roads are! once rflore filled with the old, sweet joy the halo from that star which rose over Bethlehem. Currency Bill Passes Senate. The administration Currency Re form Bill, proposing a revision of the financ i a 1 system of the United States and the creation of regional reserve banks to act as stabilizing elements in the banking and finan- cial world passed the Un i ted States Senate on Friday night by a vote of 54 to 34. I r r y:..-. j . Forces that had fought together for important improvement and amendment of the measure to the last divided when thev filial : vote came Senator Hitchcock, who had led the opposition to the bill; re turued to the Democratic ranks and Senator Weeks, one of the leaders on the Republican side, with five other Republicans; and Senator Poin dexter, a Progressivevoted for the measure. Senator Hitchcock announced his purpose to vote" for the Senate bill as finallv completed because of its great importance to the financial world. "My whole fight has been to strengthen and improve the bill ami to prevent hasty and blunder ing legislation," he said. Senator Weeks said he would vote for the measure because it was "75 per cent good and only 25 per cent bad," and an improvement over ex isting conditions. The Democrats vote$ solidly for the measure, and were joined by Senator Poindexter, Progressive, and six Republicans. v Two Strong Men in Senate. - Each new committee develop ment in Congress seems to add to the prominence of North Carolina in me administrative anair or tne il 1 j nn n i I dominant party says the Charlotte Observer. The fact is emnhasized in the recent election of Senator Simmons to the Chairmanship of the Commerce Committee, having been called head from the foot of the class, as it were. It has been remarked that no Southern State ever occupied such a commanding position in Congress as that now held by North Carolina through its two Senators Simmons and Over man. These are at the head of three of the most important com mittees of the Senate. Simmons holds Chairmanship of the Finance and Commerce Committees, while Overman is head "of the Judiciary Committee. In addition to that Mr. Overman is Chairman of Com mittee on Rules, and is next to the chairmanship of the Committee on Appropriations. The Committee on Rules is one of much importance, but is not in the class of the Big 4 of which this State now holds three. fP! m 1 i 1 j- m . . me iourtn is tne uommutee on Foreign Affairs The Commerce Committee has more to do with the material interests of the South, per haps, than any other committee. Its relation to the waterway develop ment and the appropriations there for make it of peculiar value to this State in particular, and Sena tor Simmons' past endeavors in be- half of waterway development marks his elevation to the chair manship as one of significant inter est. to the people of this State. benator Simmons is now in better position than ever to carry out the development work he has planned for the rivers and harbors along the North Carolina coast and will facil itate the availability of the large appropriations he has secured. It is quite protiablethat no State has ever been . so signally honored in tuiimianumg cuairmansnips as is North Carolina. This State com mands an influence in Congress which Maine would have envied in the palmy days of its power. The faith of the people of North Caro una, expressed at the polls in the last election-, has been more than vindicated. The power which Over man has developed points to the coming expression of the same con fidence in him that was felt in Sim mons. North Carolina is closer to the seat of Government today than it has been in the history of the country. m .

Lung Trouble Among the indications of threatened . Lung Trouble are a conttnued cough, ' fever and night sweats. A change of cli mate often helps, but it seems that some thing more is -needed to stop the cough and sweats and arrest the progress of dis esyse. Eckman's Alterative, after many yeffrs of use, Is known to be most bene ficial in bringing about relief, In many cases complete recoveries. Investigate this case: Schell City, Mo, "Gentlemen: I had a terrible cough, night sweats and pleurisy in my lungs. A man . who heard me coughing advised me to take your Alterative. I paid no attention to him then. I got so bad the doctor said I should go to Wyoming. I did, and when I got there- I steadily grew worse. Then I remembered what had been told me about your medicine. I began taking It, --with no faith what ever, but before I had - taken three bottles, I could eat anything. Fever and night-sweats stopped and for over a year I have been well and 'in better health than I ever was." (Affidavit). W. F. BOMAB. (Above abbreviated; more on request.)

Our family doctor treated me, but onlygave me temporary relief. I was certainly in bad health. My school teacher advised me to TAKE The Woman's Tonic I took two bottles, in all, and was : cured.
