Since the middle of last week the 1
German armies in Flanders have been J
trying to wrest from the British the $
territory taken from them in the re- c
cent big offensive of Field Marshal 1
Haig. f
As on previous days Crown Prince C
Ruppreeht of Bavaria on Wednesday f
unleashed large numbers of his troops f
in an attempt to recapture terrain on
the Ypres sector, where the British are h
seriously threatening his communica- I
tion line with Ostend and the sub- C
marine base at Zeebrugge. Ever b
watchful the gunners of Haig again t
wrought havoc among the attacking 8
waves and dispersed the Germans f
with heavy casualties and retained all
their position sintact. ?
There still is no indication of the
time set by Field Marshal Haig for
the renewal of his efforts to press on
toward and cut the Lille railway, but ^
he is steadily keeping up his pounding
of the German trenches with his ^
masses of artillery. a
Although the German war office asserts
that in Tuesday's fight along
fUo. Anots,.... I. 1, ?< ll.? AT I u.. 2
I lie VUOVCI II UI Lllfr 1UVUSC III 111*-*
Verdun sector, the Germans captured p
u comparatively long line of French
trenches, the French official communi- a
cation makes no mention of this and r
asserts merely that violent artillery
lighting and spirited patrol engage- ^
ments took place. *
While the British and French airmen
continue their bombing opera- c
tions against Germany's submarine
base at Zeebrugge and points of mili- j
tary importance behind the lines, the
French aviators ace keeping up their
attack on German towns and cities in f
den, named as a health resort. ^
Likewise the Italians are giving the ^
Austrians little respite from aerial ^
incursions, again having dropped four
tons of projectiles on military objec- P
tives at Pola, the great Austrian naval
base on the Adriatic, and bombed other
points of military advantage. In V
addition, the Italians have repulsed 2
decisively another Austrian attack on
the Western slopes of Monte San Ga- '

RARE CERTIF'X
PRES
THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS YOU.
Three Billion Dollar Liberty Ix>an
Planned This Time?South Carolina
Asked to Take Fifteen
Million.
The government has issued a cnll
for a nation-wide campaign for the
sale of three billion dollars in the second
Liberty Doan Bond issue, and
South Carolina's proportion is fifteen
million dollars.
Mr. M. A .Moore, with Nicholson
Bank & Trust Co., has been appointed
chairman of the movement in Union
county, and will call upon a number of
progressive citizens to aid him in this
campaign. He wishes particularly to
call the attention of the farmers to
this proposition, and believes that a
large number of Union county farmers
can be persuaded to buy bond3. The
bonds pay 4are non-assessable and
non-taxable, and are as safe as any
human investment can be made. Not
many farmers bought bonds in the
first loan, for it was not the season
of the year that they could do so.
The time limit for selling the second
bonds is from October 1 to October
27, and subscriptions here would
have to be in hand by October 25, at
the latest.
COMFORT BAGS.
The Union county Equal Suffrage
I.eage has undertaken to make comfort
bags for the soldiers and already
the ladies are at work on them, however
the work is not to be confined to
the Suffrage leage and if you wish
to make a bag, 'phone Mrs. T. C. Duncan
and she will gladly tell you what
to put in them. The ladies are not
making the old time comfort bags
containing pins, needles, thread, etc.,
but put all kind of things in them,
such as shaving soap, mentholatum,
vaseline, safety razor, games, chewing
gum and anything like that that
you can think of. Help with this
work, won't you?
EXECUTIVE BOARD MEETING.
The executive board of Union county
Red Cross chapter was held in the
Chamber of Commerce Sept. 28, 1917.
meeting-ww-aalled to order by
the chairman, Mr. B. F. Alston, Jr.,
and reports from the different committees
were very encouraging.
Mrs. Macbeth Young told of the organization
of an auxiliary at Buffalo,
and of a visit to the branch at Carlisle.
Mrs. Hames reported the shipping
of two boxes of supplies to Atlanta
headquarters.
Mrs. Storm's report showed that
her committee had been active in raising
funds.
Plans were made for the annual
meeting and October 11th was set as
the date, but it may have to be
changed to suit the convenience of the
speakers. The meeting will be at the
courthouse and everybody in Union
county is invited. Dr. John L. Weber
of the Army Y. M. C. A. at Camp
Jackson will be the orator of the day,
and it is hoped that a Red Cross
worker from Atlanta will be present.
UNION POSTOFFICE
TO BE ACCOUNTING OFFICE
Union has been designated a central
accounting postoflice, and this
means that the accounts of all the
postofTices in the county are to be
rendered through the postmaster at
Union. All stamps will be supplied
the postoffices throughout the county
through the Union. offfce, and funds
remitted to this office.
WHY NOT?
There is some talk of opening a tea
room on the road from here to Spartanburg,
if a desirable and attractive
place can be found, on the half-way
ground. The project is in the hands
[)f competent leaders and no doubt before
very lonp, it will be well established
and a payinp investment.
In this day of quick travel and so
many camps in easy access of each
sther, an attractive place to pet pood
"eats" will become popular in a day.
BUYS DRUG BUSINESS.
Dr. Thos. A. Murrah, Jr., has purchased
the Cash Pharmacy located at
Jonesville, and has already taken
charge of the business. He has for
sometime held a position with Morgan

\col. and Mrs. A. F. McKissick,
of Greenwood, Donate Old
Cotton Planters' Loan Association
Bill to be Placed in
Carnegie Library?Found in
Personal Effects of Late Col.
I. G. McKissick.
Not many of the younger generation
of Union know that at one time ther*.
was an organization here that issued
money, paper money. "The Cotton
Planters Loan Association of the
Fifth Congressional District of South
Carolina" was the name of the organization,
and it was located at "Unionville,
S. C." The Times man, wandering
around over the face of the earth,
recently paid a visit to Greenwood,
one of the best little cities in the
State, and, while there called upon
Col. A. F. McKissick, a "native" of
Union, now one of the big business
men of Greenwood. It was while there
that the aforesaid paper bill was
shown the writer by Col. McKissick.
It was one of many other curios in his
collection, and upon reflection. Col.
McKissick agreed to donate the rare
bill to the Wm. Wallace chapter, U.
D. C., of Union, and requested that
it be neatly framed, at his expense
and placed in our Carnegie library
building, along with the other relics
that the U. I). C. chapter has there on
exhibition and for safekeeping. The
framing is now being done and the
bill will be turned over to the ladies
of the chapter here.
Col. McKissick thought that as the
relic was one of many found in the
safe of the late Col. I. G. McKissick
after his death here more than 20
years ago, that it really should be
kept in Union, although both Col. and
Hf.T.': ? :-i- --- ....
i.iio. i.iL-rwissit-K prized it very highly;
indeed, it was no easy matter to persuade
the accomplished lady of the
house that Union should have this
treasure, but she finally graciously
relinquished her claim.
The "bill" is a certificate for five
dollars. It is signed by B. P. Rawt?, . *
Treasurer; Wm, S. Keenan, President,
and Uwnade payable to D? flalp. Tha
date is 15 May, 1862. It is number
727. And there must have been quite
a number of them issued, therefore.
The bill is redeemable on the basis of
6 cents cotton. You may see this
"five dollar bill" in the library, for it
is now being framed and will soon be
placed there for safekeeping.
Since writing the above we find that
Nicholson Bank & Trust Co. of Union
is in possession of one of these "bills."
