SATURDAY, JULY 31, 1920
Too much emphasis cannot be given
the great health campaign movement
that is being projected by the state
and by the United States government.
Union will have the clinic for the
treatment of venereal diseases opened
Monday. The rooms in which the
clinic will be located are up-stairs over
Storm's Drug Store, and the furni
lure and necessary fittings have already
been installed. This is a great
forward move for Union, and the
beneficial results cannot be estimated.
EACH COUNTY ASKED TO
SEND 100 DELEGATES
(Contributed)
Each county in the state will be
asked to send 100 delegates to the
mammoth meeting to be held in Craven
Hull, Columbia, on Wednesday,
August 18th, at which reports will be
received from the campaign now being
conducted over the state for the erection
of cotton warehouses, the employment
of cotton graders and for an increase
in the membership of the American
Cotton Association.
R. C. Hamer, president of the South
Carolina Division of the American
Cotton Association, said last night
that it was hoped to make the meeting
on August 18th the biggest ever
held in the state. The president of
each county branch of tho cotton association
will be asked, he said, to ap-1
point 100 delegates and to see to it
that they attend the meeting.
A trophy cup will be awarded the
county making the best showing in the j
campaign now in progress. The contest
for the cup is expected to be very
keen. Reports received from over the
state, Mr. Hames said, indicate that
all of the counties are going to make
a good showing.
Invitations have been extended the
secretary of agriculture, E. T. Meredith.
and Gov. W. P. G. Harding of the
Federal Reserve Board, to deliver the
principal addresses at the big meeting
It is probable that several other well
known men will be invited. Final arrangements
for the big meeting will
be worked out in a few days.

, TIMES CORRESPONDENTS'
CLUB MEMBERS
A meeting of The Times Corre'
spondents' 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
t would make a trip to the mountains
that day, but his idea was soon abandoned
for one suggested by a member
of the club. It was decided unanimous,
ly that we make a regular booster trip,
I leaving Union in automobiles at 7
^ o'clock that morning, going to Santuc,
Carlisle, Whitmire and back to
Union, arriving at Boatman Spring,
I 8 miles west of Union, at noon. There
^ a barbecue and fish fry will be awaitin
the Clug. At 1 o'clock the party
, will leave Boatman Spring and make
a trip t0 Buffalo, West Springs, Spar'
tanburg, Gaffney, Jonesville, Dockhart
Junction, Kelly's, Adamsburg, Mt. Tabor,
Lockliart and return to Union,arriving
here about 7, p. m.; a distance
of about 170 miles, going at about the
rate of 17 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 morninj*
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.
Twent 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, but The Times will provide
the fish fry and barbecue. I will be
glad to hear from each correspondent
personally, stating that you expect to
go, and, if so, how many you can accommodate.
I think we can make this

SUCCESS IN MARRIED UFE
T? Incur* It, Say* Court Ofltolal,
Bach Should Bo a Partner, a* In
Buain*** Enterprise.
A wida experience with husband* and
wives has enabled Mrs. Julia L. MeOulre
of the Chicago court of domestic
relations to formulate these principles
which she give* In People's Magazine.
"It can all be summed up In about
the same way textbooks on business
tell one to sum up the proposition of
going Into business partnership:
"1- Know your partner. Study him
?or her?under trying circumstances
as well as when things are going
well.
"2- Be sure that you and your partner
agree In your purposes and ambitions.
Compare notes with each
other and find out whether you have
the same tastes and hopes for the
future. Find out your prospective
partner's Idea of what to do In prosperity
or adversity.
"3. Settle upon your working program
for the future. Decide how you
will apportion your working funds;
face frankly the possibilities for trouble,
and arrange In advance to meet
them. Determine In advance the direction
In which you will expend your
establishment when you have savings
to disburse.
"4. Institute an adequate system of
cost accounting to see to It that your
funds go for the purposes you have |
agreed upon. Get Into the habit of
being frank with each other, of clearing
up misunderstandings Instead of
letting'them rankle.
"5. Go to It?and stick to It?along
these lines.
"6. Unless one of you has hidden
faults, you will not fell.
"That Is what I have learned from
my contact with forty-four thousand
unhappy marriages, which I have been
able to sum up, scrutinise and analyze.
The soundest advice to both men and
women that I could give Is: "Play fair
and use common sense with husband
r wife."
LONG A FAMOUS PLAYHOUSE
Walnut Btreot Th*at*r, In PhHadotptila,
to Bo Torn Down, Dat*a
From tho Year 1809.
The oldest playhouse In America*
which la to be replaced In part at least
uj m ujuut'ru BiruLiure, is me v> uiuui
street theater In Philadelphia, opened
In 1809. It has never missed a season
In these 111 years.
Edwin Forrest made his first regular
appearance here at the age of fourteen,
getting hiR first start through the
Influential backing of Ool. John Swift,
at one time mayor of Philadelphia.
The play In which Forrest appeared
was "Douglas," and in the cast were
Wheatley, Mrs. Williams, Joe Jefferson's
grandmother, and Warren and
Wood, managers of the theater and of
the stock company. Warren and Wood
considered themselves very unfortunate
in the cast of novices they had to
deal with and were greatly surprised
when Forrest acquitted himself so well
that the public expressed a desire for
the play's repetition.
The English tragedian, Edmund
Kean, appeared at tho Walnut In 1821.
During the 18 nights of his engagement
the receipts ran as high as $1,879,
only once falling below $050. In
those days this was considered a prodigious
sum In theatrical circle*.
Beaver Money.
John Jacob Astor Introduced the
beaver skin as a medium of exchange,
and It was not until beaver hats were
replaced by the modern felt hat made
from rabbit fur that beaver money
went out of fashion.
For about 100 years the beaver skin
uuu us us.eu YuiuH uy wim:ii me lum
of any other article was determined.
It Is said that the process of making
hats from rabbit pelts actually saved
beaver from extinction in North America.
Most of the beaver was trapped by
Indians, and ambitious white men exerted
their wits in separating the red
man from his treasures.
If an Indian thought he needed furs
to keep warm, he was given a drink
of something that made him feel that
he wouldn't need nn overcoat, after
all.?Detroit News.
Make a Beginning.
Many people prosper on Ideas that
come from without. In a measure these
are common property. The really great
ventures that make outstanding rneo
are those born within a man and therefore
peculiarly his property. When appreciated
and acted upon they give him
the Inside chance that others will covet
when they see him beginning to climb.
Ro Instead of sitting around moping
It's ''up to you" to start something.

possibilities will open up just
as soon as you start something.?Exchange.
Missouri Weather.
The frequent rains recently have
made us appreciate what an did lady
from Arkansns said about us once after
a visit up here. When she made
up her mind to go home she remarked
: "Well, yer see, honey, It's
this here-nway: In Missouri when It
starts to rain It never quits, and when
It clouds up the sun never shines, and
when It does get clear you never see
a cloud rgain. and when It gets hot
It never turns cool, and when II once
gets cold it never warms up no toore."*

OESOLATE CITY IS NISHAPUR
Horn* of Writer of the Rubaiyat On#
of the Moat Forbidding 8pota
on Earth.
The isolated city of Nishapur, in
Persia, was the home of the Persian
best known of all tils nation to the
western world--Omar, surnamed
Khayyam, or the Tentmaker, author
of the itubalyat. ? The poet is still one
of the great historic figures in his ancient
city, but he is remembered there
not as a poet or a tentmaker but as a
sage, philosopher, astronomer and
mathematician.
Nishapur lies In a barren upland
plain, many days' overland Journey
from the nearest railroad point. It la
encircled by mountains, most of which
are low and barren. The northern -=
range, however, rises to a considerable
height, and through many months ?
of the year its peaks are white with
snow. The lower slopes have a curious
reddish tint, due to iron1 In the
earth, so that rare and delicate color
combinations are formed at dawn and
twilight.
Looking southward from his city,
Omar saw a level, featureless plain,
depresslngly treeless, save for here
and there a clump of slender poplars.
The winter turned it to a lifeless gray:
in the summer, pitiless sunlight and
choking dust tormented the eyes. Ottly
for a brief spring season did the fresh
green of growing crops, the cool mists
that rose after the early ratns and
the rainbow gleams of pale color t rom
the mountains lend the vista a
melancholy ebarin. Beyond the pin Is
rose another row of low hills, and beyond
that, he knew, stretched the end*
lesc desert. Each year a few weeks
of Joy and beauty; between mountain
and desert n few miles of hnlf kindly
man-tilled earth?bits of respite that
hardly broke the hostile round of nature?It
Is easier to understand the defiant
pessimism of the Rubaiyat after
seeing Nishapur. ? Chicago Dally

GREAT POET'S LIFE UNHAPPY

described at the ago of sixteen as
"scholarly, accomplished and as handsome
a youth as St. Paul's had sent
forth." Thnt was at the age when,
having finished preparatory school, he
was ready for the university.
He was born on Broad street, Loo*
don. His father was a man of educa- ^
tion, with a decided talent for music.
Milton inherited all his esthetic quali- =
ties?Indeed, the rougher element at
college colled him '.'the lady," though ?
all recognized his intellectuality. Even
at tlint period, long before he was
twenty, he contemplated writing the
great "Paradise T.oct." which was not
finished, it happened, for forty years.
During thn* '<>ng lap^-o of time Milton
had stard his reputation by the
twin poems. "'11 IVnsoros.i" and "L'Allegro;"
hnd r.iarricd a mere child of
seventeen? n unhappy ru: rriage, as it '
turned out; had written some stirring
pamphlets; h.id almost been killed for
opposing the leading polities; had remarried
and been left a widower
agnin; had lost his sigbt ; hnd found
the three neglected children of his first
marriage i:ot model daughters; had
lived In terrible loneliness in spite of
his great fame, and had been persuaded
to marry a third time, for the sake
of being looked after.
He was an old man win n the great
"Paradise Lost" appeared, which is
called "one of the few monumental ?
works of the world." and his death
followed some ten .wars later.

His valet being if*. Tostl went to the
door himself. A lady, strange to hltn,
Btood on the threshold. "Slgnor Tostl?"
she inquired. Tostl bowed. "Oh," said
the lady, "I am singing your song, 'My
Alomories,' at Manchester tonight, and
I wont you kindly to run through It
with me." "Madam," answered Tostl,
politely but firmly, "I fear It Is Impossible.
I have two pupils with ma
now. and a third Is waiting In the anteyon
in. while others will arrive shortly."
"Hut you must," the lady persisted.
"I am sorry?" began Tostl again,
when he suddenly received a violent
push backwards, and the lady walked
Into the studio. Tostl followed, protesting.
After a long argument, which
threatened every moment to become
heated, the lady snapped out: "Very U
well, then, I shan't sing your song."
"Madam," said Tostl, taking her by
the hand. "I am Infinitely obliged to
you." The lady gave him one look and
fled.
