Before doing th:d we will make every effort to get all those in arrears to rav uo. To this end we have put out two eollectors?giving to each a half of tho territory of the county. Mr. DeAub't-y Gregory will have the territory east of (he Sou: hern Railway and Mr. C. D. Mitchell the territory west of the Southern Railway. They will seek for new subscribers as well as collect from those :n arrears. We vommcr.d these men to the subscribers as worthy of confidence. We feel rafe in their hands. We have a do sire to make our mail iist as clean u a hound's tooth. It will not only help u* but will also help the feelings of the subscriber. The collection last night at the tabernacle totalled $1700?not quite half the sum asked for, and necessary to pay the expenses of the meeting. We suggest that a collection be taken every night until the total, $4,000, is secured. It will be an easy task to nbc the balance, it seems to us. Saturday Union, along with the rest of the country, will celebrate Armistice Day. The governor-elect of South Carolina will be'our guest. We should J? ?u? ?i-L? ? iir * iiiiiic in iiiu teicuraiiuu, *tc uro nuv now at War, and that is much to be thankful for; tut we must keep alive the fires of patriotism. Let us celebrate. . And let us not forget to give thanks to God that we have liberty and that the spirit of liberty burns in the hearts of our people. Under protective tariff our country is now facing; this situation: We say the European nations must pay us what they have borrowed from us. They cannot pay in money. When they offer to pay, in kind, trade with as. they find that they cannot pay the tariff and the principal. If we could allow the nations that owe us to pay us in merchandise there would br some hope of recovering: the money we have loaned them. To demand payment, then hedge ourselves in with a barrier that precludes the possibility of their paying is a situation that is unjust.

The Prince Regent, clad in a yellowish-brown court dress und wearing n "Drooping Cherry Crown" on the head, imparted the news of hio engagement to the spirits of his ancstors. As for all great events con erning the Imperial family or the uacicn, Imperial messengers were .ispatched to the Ise Shrine where i he Mirror of the Sungoddess, ancstm.? of the Imperial family, is kept; to the mausolea of Emperor ; immu, the first ruler of Japan and > the late Emperor Meiji at Monoyarna, for the sole purpose of an.oimcing !he event to them officially.

These con;, sted of five rolls of silk, a caks of sv.ke wine and a box containing two tai fish. This fish is an omen of hap i iress and a congratulatory present in itself. Prin eks N'agako also was decorat with the First C'nss Order of thi Sacred Treasure and in the Hall of he Chrysanthemum of her palace re eived the Prince Regent's betrothal gift, a sword about a foot long, very simple but made by the most skillful sword maker of the country and decorated with the imperial crest. From ancient time* women of the samurai class or the nobility have owned a short sword as a symbol of 'hastity and a sign that they would house dwith rather than dishonor. The fiift of this sword holds the same significance ,as that of the engagement ring in foreign lands.

Dear Sir: l'leese let me thank through your column? the people of Union (Jounty^for their loyal support of the nominee? of the Democratic party at the rcneral election on November 7. It is very gratifying to receive such loyal support. I feel sure that there are more than mere historic and sentimental reasons for the unanimity of Democratic con\ ictions in the South and in our parlirular prrt of it. The policies of the Democratic party, both domestic and international, are of great economic vuiue to the people of the South. Our section, as the producer ?f cotton, the greatest single factor in our international trade, is deeply concerned about the succees of our foreign policy. The isolation, the non-participation, and , the provincialism of the Republican party, combined with a. high protective tariff, have well-nigh killed out our foreign -trade and have therefore well-nigh destroyed the foreign market for cotton. If Democratic policies of sympathetic cooperation and enlightened self-interest, with a tariff for revenue only, were, prevailing today so as to make it possible for the foreign nations, to buy our cotton, cotton would ;be selling, on the streets of the Southern towns very probably at 40 cents per pound. This demonstrates very closely and Intimately the relations between the prosperity of the people of the South and ri^ht adjustment of our foreign relations. The price of cotton determines the length of schools, the pay of teachers and preachers and the payment of debts to doctors, business men and bankers, the improvemerft of roads and streeta, and all of the factors that go to make up civilization. Let us all unite for n glorious victorious fight in 1924! Yours very respectfully, J. J. McSwain. Red Cross Annua) Roll Call An appalling situation of suffering. Involving hundreds of thousands of people who have^ been forced to "to from the'r homes in the Near Fast and to sock refuge in lands aL teudy burdened with care, has emphasized to the people of this country that fhe American Red Cross is our National Emergency Fund with which I to meet great crises in disaster. The 1 accentuation of the fact is the greater in that the- particular calamity now appealing to humanity haa fallen just iff advance of the American Red Cross annual roll call. The .resources of the American Red Cross roust be annually replenished through the roll call. This year the tummon* ia seconded by u a concrete emergency of the kind that is ever liaI b!e to be precipitated upon the world, tt ia impossible for the Red Cross to be dependent on a publie appeal for specific objects, because when emergency atyj disaster face us we have no timatto wait until funds can bo raised. The Red(Cross is our ever*ready agency for responding to the call of calamity the moment.the alarm ia. sounded* The American Red Cross should hmrw a minimum membership of ton million in order that its reserves may to* equal to our dmneatkr and our for* eign emergencies in humane purposes.

CO Paris, Nv. 8.?As the women of Paris recently have been beating the men in competitions for places us li- e' brnrians, a discussion has arisen over women's attitude toward honlca ? Writers in general seem to agree ? that woman is the avowed enemy of ? books. This view, which will seem ? strange, to Americans, is accepted, by V the French as a fact not necesaatry to discuss. They seek only to show why, and how greatty woman is bos tiie to books. ^ One of the principal publishers i?? ^ quoted as saying that in the retail trade women 'constitute only one per cent of buyers in France. Others dilate upon the difficulty their men friends have in keeping a library of in line books and In adding to the col- ^ lection. Men's love of books, and wo- . men's dislike of them, are cited as ^ having caused the break-up of many homes. M. de Bersaucourt, author 1H and booklover, holds it is the duty of u bibliophile to remain a bachelor. He cites the case9 of men who have to buy books secretly to avoid outbreaks of wrath from their spouses, and others who keep books hidden. One Parisian booklover, says M. de B. smuggles home purchases under his coat or in his pocket, meanwhile, ? disarming his wife by holding out cake or candy to her at the front door in order to gain time to slip the volume on the shelf unnoticed.
