Remember that Friday, June 28 is
War Savings Stamp day. If you
laven't bought stamps, buy all you
:an on Friday.
If you have already bought stamps
buy more. Consider the matter seriously,
and from a patriotic standpoint,
and pledge yourself to purchase
all the stamps you possibly can
between now and Christmas. If anyone
has been overlooked in the house
to house canvass, or if you find that
you can purchase more than you
have pledged call up some member of
the committee and someone will call
and take your pledge.
The committees have worked hard
and good reports are coming in from
the country districts and the mill
communities, but we are still far
from the goal and everybody must
buy stamps on Friday to swell our
total.

HOW ABOUT A SWEET
POTATO STORAGE HOI^SE?
"A burned child dreads fire." Many
of us were badly burned last winter
by losing all the sweet potatoes. Are
we going to let another winter catch
us unprepared? This is a matter of
serious importance, not only here in
Union, but in every rural community.
There is absolutely no.use in raising
a crop and then permitting its destruction
by frost.
This is another reason for organisation
by which we may unite in one
common purpose. Whatever is going
to be done about the sweet potato
storage house should be done now,
before it. is too late. The Union
Chamber of Commerce and Agriculture
is ready to assist in any way.

This is not the time f
knocking. It is the time

MA J. JAMES L. COKEli
CLAIMED BY DEATH
Dies at Hartsville After Long and
Active Life?Did Much for His
State
(From News and Courier.)
Hartsville, June 25.?South Carolina
is called upon , to mourn the loss
of one of her most useful and distinguished
citizens, one whose life
was ever pure in its purpose and
strong in its striving. Major James
Lide Coker died at his home here this
afternoon at 4 o'clock. The end was
not unlooked for though it came suddenly,
because for some few years
past Major Coker had not taken active
detailed management of his large and
varied business interests. While this1
is true his active interest and in
fluence was felt in his affairs generally.
He discussed the details regular-;
ly with his sons and lieutenants and
made more than suggestions as to
their management, holding almost
daily reports and conferences with
his son.
Major Coker was in his usual health
until Thursday last when attacks of
unconsciousness came again. He did
not rally from this condition which
was not at first more alarming than
previous ones. Monday night he grew
worse and it was evident that the end
was approaching. He lapsed into a
semi-conscious condition, growing
weaker until the end came at 4 o'clock
Tuesday. Death came with quiet
peace, all of his family being with
him except his daughter, Mrs. R. F.
Watson, of Greenville, and one son,
Dr. W. C. Coker, of Chapcll Hill. His
surviving children are J. L. Coker, Jr.,
D. R. Coker, W. C. Coker, C. W. Coker
and Mrs. R. F. Watson. The funral
will be held at Hartsville Baptist
church Wednesday at G p. m.
Long and Useful Life
Major Coker died in his 82nd year
and this long span of honored years
made a life record which can only
come to spirits of strong purpose and
of the purest mould. In peace and
in war he served his country as a
brave and useful son. and in his life
has left the rich heritage of noble'

his country. He organized the Hartsville
Light Infantry and was captain
of this company throughout the war,
being made major after being severely
wounded at Lookout Valley in 1863.
This wound incapacitated him for further
active war service but he was
sent to Legislature again to serve his
State. As a business man with ability
to see and accomplish large things he
is well known. He built the town of
Hartsville, equipping it with railroads,
banks, churches, factories and
an educational institution, which
bears his names, Coker College. This
monument is one which would confer
distinction and honor upon any founder
and yet it is one of the many realizations
of his noble ideals. The life
