FRIDAY, JULY 30, 1020 After all, we have come to believe that Villa, the Mexican bandit chief, is about the best of the breed. He is brave, of that there is no doubt, and he is adroit. He seems to have an honest desire to lift up the masses, and that is good. Maybe, after all, Villa will show up in a better light than most of the warrior leaders of tUVAICUt We have sent out photograph of the camping party of boys and girls to the engraver and will, as soon as we get the cut ordered, publish the picture in The Times. Quite a nice lookink lot of boys and girls, according to our ciew, and we want to present the entire group to the people of Union County. Miss Mahala J. Smith, County Agent, should feel proud of the splendid record made. The more we think of it the more convinced are we that about the biggest thing going on in Union County today is this boys and girls club work. The future will reveal just how great is the work being done. With gasoline prices soaring and the consumption rapidly increasing ,it is not difficult to picture a time when there will be more idle "flivvers" than j could be counted in a lifetime. It is i not idle speculation, but cold reason ! that brings one's mind a time when! the silent automobile will be more in ' evidence than will be the ones in op-1 oration. At the present rate of con-! snmntirii, if ?... i..-? ? ? rv../ii >i ? 111 uv inn a iuw years before oil will he exceedingly hard to get and it will l?e exceedingly high in price. But, no doubt, some new j method of manufacturing oil will he | perfected. The gasoline engine will l" give place to the electrical engine. Perhaps we will harness all the waterfalls of the country, and then all you j j will have to do will be to drive your! "flivver" up to a station and "hook 11 up" to a charging apparatus thus gct-|r ing a supply of power that will carry J your machine some hundreds of miles. All will work out well, we have no doubt. ________ . | \NOTHER WORD AS TO BI'SINESS WOM \VX ('l.l lt Now that every dollar of the proposed $10,000 capital stock of the I'.usiness Woman's Club has been subscribed, and the organization has been perfected, it may be well to make this further statement. We not only believe the concern will truly fill a real need in Union, but we believe it will pay its own way and more. If the women who are carrying on this work v ill try for it. we believe that it will not be long before they can not only be operating the cafeteria, but the ^rooming house as well. In a few years the concern can honestly earn sufficient capital to purchase a handsome home. It is going to surprise some of the "knockers" in this town to see the sueeess that will attend this movement. The Newberry Observer, the only paper in the state, so far, to mention the fact that such a movement was on foot here, has this to say: "The Business Women's club of Union has secured subscriptions of $10,000 towards a woman's rooming house and cafeteria, the shares being $25 each. Looks like a good thing." We certainly believe it is a good thing, a very good thing. The subscribers to the capital stock of the Business Woman's Club met in the rooms of the Union Chamber of Commerce and Agriculture yesterday at 0:20 o'clock, and upon the count of the secretary of the meeting it was found that more than fifty-one per cent of the subscriptions was represented in person or by proxy, and having asctrtained that fact, the process of organization was carried out. The club adopted a constitution and bylaws and elected fifteen directors, as followes; Mrs. L. M. Rice, Miss Pearle Harris, Miss Mahala Smith, Mrs. Ben L. Berry, Miss Mamie Oetzcl, Mrs. M. J. Mabry, Miss Edna Tinsley, Mrs. C. E. Storm, Mrs. O. L. I'. Jackson, Miss Minnie Gregory, Mrs. Elias Prioleau, Mrs. Clarance IVT-o. tl ft T 1 ?' * >o, n. x>. Jennings, iviiss Sallie Chambers, Miss Mary Emma Foster. Upon motion the directors were asked to meet Tuesday of next week at 6 o'clock in the Red Cross headquarters for the purpose of electing officers. You will note by the advertisement in The Times today that every dollor of the proposed $10,000 of proposed capital stock has been subscribed. The directors will call for a ten per cent payment on subscriptions some time next week. At the meetinp yesterday it was suppested that the club proceed at once in the matter of a cafeteria, rentinp temporary quarters and proceedinp with that part of the enterprise. This arranpement is not an unwise one. It has been the idea cf the promoters of the club to conduct the roominp house at practical cost, but make the cafeteria pay a | profit. No doubt some pood store room can be rented close in and the | cafeteria opened in quarters that it would occupy the first year. We believe the concern will pay, and pay well, provided it is carefully manaered. It seems to us that the sooner the cafeteria is opened the better it will be for the success of the movement. A subscriber came into The Times office a few days ago to see the boll weevil exhibit we have, and said he thought he had discovered the pest on his farm. After seeing our samples from Texas, Alabama and Georgia e decided he was mistaken in thinking the "bug" found in his cotton to be tlie boll weevil. He said: "When will the weevil hit Union County?" We. told him that the weevil would probably come next year. Then said he "What must we do?" Kind reader tvhat would you have answered? Here is the answer we gave him: "If this year you planted twenty acres of cot.on, next year plant ten acres; if you ilanted ten acres this year, next year ilant five, just cut your cotton crop lalf and double your corn acreage." ^ould you have given a better answer ? We looked at the question in this wise: The boll weevil, upon his first appearance, usually does not entirely de siroy tne c rop. If you plant only half j your usual cotton acreage and the boll weevil gets half of it, you will thus lose only one half of one half of your crop. That means that one fourth of your crop instead of one half, would be destroyed and you could live through that difficulty even though it would be a severe test. We intend to find out all we can about peanut culture and to urge the farmers to go into the peanut culture strongly another year. It is our purpose to urge corn, Indian maize, upon the hearts of the farmers; w? propose pointing out the advantages of home grown hay over Western hay; we expect to urge hogs, more hogs upon the attention of the farmers. A corn and hog farmer can laugh in the face of a multitude of boll weevils. A pindar farm is a veritable stronghold against the army of the invader. Cattle, horses, hogs, chickens?boll weevil will not attack them, lloll weevil will not destroy a crop of grass. Hay is a good breastwork agains the boll weevil. Union County has a splendid opportunity to guard against the pest. If the farmers would do ne*t year just what they would do a year or two after the coming of the boll weevil, there would be no loss whatever. We would be gainers, not losers.
