the diversified farming program. Indeed
,the coming of the boll weevil
may be a blessing in disguise, it will
be if it compels more diversification.
A monument has been erected to the
boll weevil in Alabama, if reports be
true. The thing that was vegarded as
a great evil, proved to be a beneficial
influence ,m that it compelled the
farmers to diversify, came to be regarded
as a great blessing. It is better,
however, to get into diversified
farming before being whipped into it.
Better go in having some choice as
to the manner of going, than to be
driven in by stern necessity.
We publish today an article on page
seven giving further information concerning
the movement on foot to secure
proper warehousing facilities for
cotton and a cotton grader for each
county in the cotton producing counties
of the state. Three big meetings
are scheduled for this countv. one at
Sar.tuc. Union and Jonesville, and at
these meetings there will be men ot
reputation as speakers to deliver addresses.
At the meeting plans will
he made to carry the movement into
every nook and corner of the county.
You will find on page seven a full
statement of the plans, and also an
advertisement urging attendance upon
the meetings. August 2nd and 3rd
are the days fixed for the meetings
for Union County. The visiting speakers
will be John G. Richards, L. J
Browning, W. H. Mills and A. A. McKeown.
Make your plans to attend
one of these gatherings. Every man
interested in the prosperity of the
county should attend, particularly
farmers. The farmer too often assumes
an attitude of indifference in
matters pertaining to his own welfare.
He should he more nliv/i tn liU .?*
tunities. This movement is being projected
by the U. S. Department of Agriculture,
Clemson College and the
American Cotton Association, and has
tremenduou* possibilities for helping
the county.
The cotton crop of the South
amounts to more than two billion dollars
annually, and is the principle
crop, . Marketing this chop is, therefore,
one of the great problems oi
all the people living in the cotton
Dolt. Not only the farmer but men
of all other occupations in the South
are concerned in the problem. To
solve the marketing problem a statewide
campaign is being made to secure
sufficient warehouse space and to
properly grade this enormously valu'

MONDAY, JULY 12, 1920
Today we begin with the full leased
wire Associated Press service. This
move we have been contemplating foi
some time, and gives The Times a very
nuich greater news service that heretofore.
Mr. Gable, of Charleston, is
the operator sent us by the Associated
Press, and he arrived in Union
yesterday. While the service is expensive,
we feel that the support of
Union and Union County have given
us merits the best, and warrants the
success of this move on our part.
! able 'crofk,"* these two problems are
not the only ones, but are the two
matter* <pw. need first tn 1 y correctly
, settled. The South, long chained to
the chariot wheels of poverty, has
been enriching the world. The awak?
ening has come and the day of the
South's opportunity is here. The campaign
to be carried on throughout the
. state beginning July 15, has been i
planned by an arangemeAt between
J the Cotton Association, the Warej
house Commission and Clemson Col
lege Extension Service. In the party
to campaign the state will be represen"
I tatives of the Cotton Association, the
Warehouse Commission, the U. S.
* Department of Agriculture and Clem;
son College. It is planned, so soon as
the proper warehousing is provided
. and the proper grading system is inI
augurated to take up the question of
direct, marketing. The movement
should appeal net only to the farmer
r but to the merchant, banker and prol
fessional man as well. Tt is a great
movement, and means the commercial

I .....v. u?..n?-c U1 me ouuui. at. is only
the selfish, short-sighted man who can
' see no nePd of this great movement.
Whether he sees or not, it is a fact
: that a real, far-reaching revolution is
here and here to stay,
i
Today marks the beginning of the
realization of an ambition we have
long cherished?the time when we
1 could put on the full leased wire service
of the Associated Press. This >
means the same leased day service
that goes to Columbia, Spartanburg,
Greenville, Charleston, Atlanta and
j Anderson comes to us. The same tick of
I the instrument gives it to us also, in
fact, we get exactly what they get,
and at the same time, six days in the
week. The telegraph instrument has
already been installed and the Associated
Press operator is here. The Times
today carries the news +iiii
, -v... 3d V- I
ice for the first time. That we pre J
proud of this achievement goes without
saying. The loyal support that
The Times has received has embolden
us to make this move. We feel that
the best is none too good for the people
of Union and Union County. It
has been a belief with us that a small,
' clean newspaper, one that gave the
news, with as little superflous matter
1 as possible would not only receive support
but is really the coming paper
of the day. The large, cumbersome,
padded newspaper is not ready by
any single subscriber. The average
large daily, carrying thirty of forty
pages would require a week's time to
be read carefully. Three or four
pages on such a paper give all
the news; the other pages are but fillers
for advertisements. This is the
way it appears to us; and we have the
, nerve to put our tneory in practice.
We intend to pack The Times with
I news, and have as little padding as |
possible. We believe such a paper
I
will appeal to nine-tenths of the readI
ing public. In this great forward step
we have made we have no fear. The
i
loyal support of the people of Union
I County and of the business men of
Union given us in the past gives us
assurance of the same loyal support
in this step we have taken. We feel
that you will endorse our efforts to
I put Union County on the map.
1 TIMES CORRESPONDENTS'
CLUB MEMBERS
A meeting of The Times Correspondents'
Club was held Saturday
and the first Saturday in August was
chosen as the day for our annual outing.
It was at first decided that we
, would make a trip to the mountains
, that day, but this idea was soon abandoned
for one suggested by a member
, of the club. It was decided unanimously
that we make a regular booster
trip, leaving Union in automobiles at
7 o'clock that morning, going to Santuc,
Carlisle, Whitmire and back to
, Union, arriving at Boatman Sprihg,
8 miles west of Union, at noon. There
' a barbecue and fish fry will be awaiting
the Club. At 1 o'clock the party
i will leave Boatman Spring and make
a trip to Buffalo, West Springs, Spartanburg,
Gaffney, Jonesville, Lockhart
Junction, Kelly's, Adamsburg, Mt. Tabor,
Lockhart and return to Union, ari
riving her eabout 7 p. m.; a distance
of about 170 miles, going at about the
I
* t .fc*
rate of 1? miles an hour for the day's
'
run. This itinerary may be changed
later. The correspondents, in counting
up the automobiles available
found,that including the Editor's
about 15 cars could be mustered for
the trip and there are more, probably,
that can be had. Each correspondent
who can furnish a car, is asked to do
so. Those not in a position to do this
will be provided for here on the morning
of the trip. I want every correspondent
to go on this trip. No matter
whether you write regularly or only
occasionally, come on and go with us.
Correspondents who furnish a car
will be allowed to take any guests
that they may desire to take, the only
provision being that one must be a
correspondent who has no car. I am
hoping that we may have not less than
100 participants in the trip. Twenty
cars, each carrying five persons will
make the hundred. If there are any
more it will be all the better. But we
must leave Union at 7 o'clock in the
morning to make the full round of it.
Each correspondent will bring a lunch,
hut The Times will provide the fish
fry and barbecue. T will be glad to
hear from each correspondent personally,
stating that you expect to
go, and also whether you can furnish
a car, and, if so. how many you can
accommodate. I think we can make
this a day of real recreation and that
The Times Correspondents' Club will

SUFFRAGE LEADERS
HAVE HOPE
(By the Associated Press.)
Washington, July 12.?Suffrage
. leaders have not abandoned hope of ' j
' action by the Vermont legislature on
the suffrage amendment,
t The national woman's party announced
today that Governor Clement's
refusal to call the state as1
sembly in special session would not
i be accepted as final and that even
larger delegtaions than had been
planned would call on Senator Harding,
the Republican presidential nominee
at Marion on July 22 "To impress
him with the necessity of car- O
rying uot the suffrage plank and
pledges of his party and enfranchising
the women of the nation in time
for the eoming elections."
Dr. H. L). Riley, President of Spartan
Academy, is in Union today.
