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..-? ? ?

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.
Our cat says a chattering tongue
never tires of its own wagging.
