FRIDAY, JULY 23, 1020
If you are not a friend to the work
beinp done amonp the hoys and pirls
of the county thruph the home demonstration
agency conducted in this
county by Miss Mahala .J. Smith, you
are neplectinp a very preat opportunity
to help a pood cause.
All but $000 of the proposed capital
stock of the proposed incorporated
Business Woman's Club has been subscribed.
f^e total capital stock is to
be $10,00i. Plans will immediately
be pottcn under way for eonipletinp

posed concern under way.
It is astonishing to think of it, hut
it is a fact, nevertheless. Many Democratic
vot'ershave, so far, failed to enroll.
Only a few days remain in
which to attend to this very important
matter. If you fail to enroll hy next
Tuesday night, you will not he allowed
to vote in the August primaries. Hotter
pro to the nearest votinpr precinct
and pre your name on the roll.
If you have not paid your first installment
on your subscription to the
new hotel, ten per cent of the total
subscription, do so at once. The buildinpr
committee is already actively
prosecuting the preparatory work of
carrying forward the enterprise. It is
imperative that ten per cent of your
subscription he paid at once. I;. M.
Jordan is the treasurer for the corporation
and you should not wait for him
to hunt you up. Make out a check
for a tenth of your subscription and
deliver it to him at your earliest
convenience.
The hoys and girls demonstration
clubs having a camping trip here this
week at the Central school building,
honored The Times with a visit yesterday,
and we certainly appreciate having1
had them come. We have long
been known to most of them, and we
are glad to add new faces to the list
of our acquaintances. We feel that
one of the greatest works being done
for the future welfare of the country
is this movement among the boys and
girls to promote the progress of rural
districts. It is a work of far-reaching
import, and it is bong conducted in a
most satisfactory manner n this county.
1?U. PAYNE'S
It KKI(; N ATIOX A C( KI'TKI)
Dr. J. I,. Pay no resigned as secretary
of the Cnion Chamber of Commerce
and Agriculture last night and
the board of directors accepted his
resignation with regret. Dr. Payne
lias been secretary since March, resigning
to accept a position in Florida.
He will become secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce at Dive Oaks,
Fia., and in addition will have a responsble
position to which he will he
appointed by the recently elected governor
of Florida, both positions combined
paying him quite a good salary.
A committee was appointed to draff
resolutions expressing regret that Dr
Payne had felt it to be his duty tc
leave Union. He will leave the firs!
of August to take up his work ir
Florida. A committee was appointed
by the board of directors of the
Union Chamber of Commerce to seek
an available man for the secretaryship
here, so that there might l>e as little
delay as possible infilling the position
made vacant by l)r. Payne's resignation.
Our oat says a spendthrift carries a
lean pocketbook.

Three Unionists were shot dead by
Sinn Fein snipers and another man's
head was blown olT. A man helpiiiR

The disorders which started Wednesda

demonstrations which might have led
to seriotis results were interrupted.
Looting and smashing of windows
prevailed throughout the trouble,
spirit, groceries and licensed premises
being especially singled out.
Dsorder broke out at 8:110 last night
on one of the roads leading into the
city. Troops were hurried to the
scene and fired on the mob, wounding
many, who were removed to hospitals
or their homes. The crowds reformed
tiuickly. but were charged by th<
troons and dispersed at 9:00. Reinforcements
arrived on the scene and
there was a final burst of firing
Ambulances hurried to the spot from
every uuarter of the city, followed b\
fire brigades, in the belief that thi
casualty list wouldbe heavy.
DEVELOPMENT OF
A NORMAL BABY
An inexperienced mother is often al
loss to know whether her baby is
properly thriving, and may be undulj
alarmed at small matters, or may nol
understand the serious nature o;
certain conditions. The best indica
tions of a perfectly healthy baby ar<
a steady gain in weight and quiet
peaceful sleep. If baby shows fretful
I ness, sleeplessness, gas or sou
stomach, or is inclined to constipation
it should have attention.
Most of baby's trouble comes fror
improper assimilation of food, result
ir.g in indigestion. Ths leads to fault;
elmination, and of course baby doesn'
develop properly. When these symn
toms occur, a trood babv laxative wil
generally suffice, but great care shoul
!>o exercised net to give baby strong
irritating drugs that wilj set up in
flammation in the delicate membran
of baby's stomach.
One of the best laxatives for babie
is "Baby Base," a perfected prepara
tion by a baby specialist, that it> easy
acting, non-irritating, does not pro
duce over-action or leave baby consti
pated. It is a safe, harmless an
efficient laxative and corrective. I
baby does not improve after a fe\
doses, take him to a physician. As

of industrial specialties including
sugars, textiles, rubbers and leathers.
