December 7, with a criminal calendar even smaller than that of last court, as well as a smaller number of civil cases. At each court there are fewer criminal cases, practically all of them misdemeanors, and this should be a matter for congratulation, for it shows an ever-increasing respect for law and order on the part of the citizens of Macon county. Crime sometimes goes in waves or cycles, and a season of comparative freedom from disorder is fol lowed by what is known as a crime wave. This does not seem to be the case in Macon county, for major crimes have been growing fewer and fewer as the terms of court come and go, with no heavy dockets intervening. Excepts for Saturday drunks, the jail has become a lonesome place, and Jailer John Dills seems in no danger of being overworked. Time to Turn Back IN the face of the fact that retail sales are ap- proaching an all time high and that people have the money to buy the things they wish to buy, factories are closing or else going on part time; men are being thrown out of work, and here in our county the boys who have been holding good "jobs are coming home and saying that they have been laid off, and that the-y cannot see why their work should stop. ' . v .. . The "why" is very aptly stated in the leading editorial carried in' the Atlanta 'Constitution of last Sunday. Here are a few excerpts : "No congress in recent years has been faced with a more vital problem than the general revision of business taxation, which now awaits action at the special session, for the sake of restoring business confidence, halting the recession of the past sum mer and restarting the national economic machine on the road to permanent prosperity. "Chiefly responsible for the slowing down of the return to full prosperity is the undistributed profits tax. This levy, enacted in 1936, has so hog-tied in dustry as to practically end expansion of 'enterprise and the absorption by private industry of the un employed. "Under its provisions, a corporation attempting to reinvest its profits in expansion is heaviry pen alized and is, therefore, effectually estopped from that growth upon which the entire recovery pro gram is predicated. "The extent of the harm done by this tax cannot be fully evaluated. . "It has barred tjie creation of new jobs b the en largement of manufacturing plants. It has killed the demand for construction labor in building these en largements. It has crippled all the industries allied with construction, the industries which create the materials which go into the building and equip ping of new plants.' ' "Proper amendment of the undistributed profits tax would immediately restore the confidence of business, would demonstrate that the administra tion is sincere in its appeal to private enterprise to lead the, nation back to prosperity, and would turn loose billions of capital into construction that would provide hundreds of thousands of new jobs. "President Roosevelt, in the early fdays of his ad ministration, told the1 nation that many of the steps, he proposed would lie along untrod paths. At the same time he promised that if any of the recovery policies proved ineffective or harmful. he would be the first to "turn back." "Certainly, in so far as the disastroustfexperi ment with a destructive tax on undistributed profits is concerned, the time has come to turn back." Tells Christmas Story s 14 4U?;n X.1? . '. T " W .!::r."t : ' . 1? & it i ! JESSE P. ROBERTSON STORYTELLER HERETUESDAY Jesse Phillips - Robertson Will Give Christmas Entertainment The Christmas story told by Jesse Phillips-Robertson will prove a welcome addition . to the plans made by the churches for the Christmas ' celebration. Last year .Mr. Robertson, who came to Franklin for one night, held a meeting in the Franklin Methodist church, with a Presby terian group sponsoring his com ing- ' This year he will be sponsored by members of the F. S. Johnston Bible class of the Franklin Metho dist church, on Tuesday evening, December 7, beginning at 7:30. Those who had the pleasure of hearing Mr. Robertson last year were highly gratified with him. . A free will offering will be taken to cover the expense of the en tertainment. The story teller, in costume of a Palestinian shepherd comes leis urely up the aisle of the church playing Handel's Pastoral Sym phony on tan authentic shepherd's iluto thus setting the stage for the scene in Bethlehem Hills where the Shepherds were abiding in the fields keeping watch over their tlocks by night. . A brief monologue acquaints the audience with the accouterments of the shepherd, by which he is ade quately prepared for his task in guarding -his flock. A high point of observation is sought from which he can sing and play while watching the sheep feeding below. From this point also he points out the spot where David vanquished the bear, and he sings a 'shepherd song that David wrote. , As the story develops, it is found that this shepherd as a boy was with his father on the hills of Bethlehem the night that Jesus was born, and the movement of the story tells, in quick succession of the appearance of the angels singing the heavenly tidings, the hurried journey to Bethlehem, the visit to the manger, the rejoicing of the shepherds, and the crowds of curious townspeople. The return to the hills completes a . memorable evening in . the lad's memory, and he relates it with a vividness that is impressive. Mrs. J. B. Gillespie, 58 Dies. In Dillarid, Ga. Mrs. John H. Thomas and chil dren attended the funeral of Mrs. Thomas' sister, Mrs. J. B. Gillespie, 58, in Dillard, Ga., Sunday. .

Forgeries of art pictures may be detected by photography, which reveals many differences of brush work and medium between old and modern paintings.
