Lest You Forget!
The little niite box left in your

important owing to the fact our recent
drive did not reach the goal. Funds
are very short and our good friend
and faithful worker, Ensign Davis,
has suffered a cut in his salary and
we are unable to see how the man
with a family is to live decently on his
present income.
The Salvation Army has made many
poor children and families happy
Christmas by sending them a basket
of eatables and we trust the good
people of Union will make it possible
for them to do the same thing this
year.
Please see that members of your
family and your friends put something

pcor hut worthy people. I thank you.

STRIKERS BEGIN
TO CAUSE TROUBLE
Chicago, Dec. 6.?Violence marked
the second day of the strike of packing
house workers in the several cities
of the Middle West and resulted in the
calling out of national guard troops
tcnight to patrol the packing plant
district in south St. Paul.
At Fort Worth two strike sympathizers
were shot and wounded, and
a negro, who, it is said, did the shooting,
was severely beaten.
At Omaha, Neb., missiles were
thrown by various persons, including
women, in clashes between strike sympathizers
and workmen.
Policemen with drawn revolvers
held a crowd of 300 persons at bay
here today until reserves arrived,
after arresting strike sympathizers
said to have beaten a workman as he
boarded a street car. A man and his
daughter, packing plant employees,
were twice attacked by strike sympathizers
as they started to leave a
packing plant and several arrests
were made for the minor disturbances.
The calling out of troops at St. Paul
followed attempts of the packing companies
to bring workers to the plant
to take the place of the strikers, labor
leaders refusing to discontinue the
picket.
Union officials asserted that 6,000
more workerg had joined the strikers'
ranks in Chicago while the- packers
reported that between 9 and 95 per
cent of their men were working and
that the places of strikers had been
filled from the hundreds of unemployed
applying for work.
While spokesmen for the . packers
admitted "that more emnlovoes had
joined the walkout, they also asserted
that part of those that went out Monday
had returned and that there was
no difficulty in hiring men. In other
packing centers of the country representative*
of the "Big Five" packers
reported the strikers returning to
work while the officials of the Amalgamated
Meat Cuttera- and Biteher
Workmen of North Anwjca, which
called the strike, Said the ranks df
the strikers were being augmented. f >
thelitis .Hayes, pre^idgnt of the
jjjj
other sections but that more men were
out than on Monday whn the union
estimated 29,000 workmen were on
strike outside Chicago.
Figures made public by the packers
showed that they admitted only
about 2,500 men were on strike here.
Fort Worth, Dec. 6.?Two brothers,
Tom and Tracy Macklin, strike sympathizers,
were shot and seriously
wounded late today in a disorder
growing out of the local packing house
strike. Fred Rouse, a negro, who is
said to have been responsible for the
shooting of the Macklin brothers, was
taken to a hospital following a ?Cvere
beating at the hands of a large crowd
of men. The shooting took place in
front of the Armour & Co. plant.
The South Carolina Home
Producers' Association
The Home Demonstration Club people
of South Carolina under the leadership
of Miss Christian N. South are
beginning to realize that a cooperative
organization handling the products of
many producers is in a better position
to establish and maintain outlets for
these products than are the individual
growers. As a result, we have a statewide
organization known as the South
Carolina Home Producers' association.
This organization, founded as it is for
the purpose of disposing of the surplus
products of the farms converting
the same into cash, has the best opportunity
to succeed as does any or
ganization which fills a well-defined
need.
It is a well known fact that organi|
zations brought into being as result
of an enthusiasm created by an appeal
to prejudices or misconceptions,
are not nearly so secure as one created
by a well recognized need. Successful,
cooperative marketing ventures
usually come from small beginl
nings, and are the result of a gradual
j permanent growth.

As I read and learn ot^the things ?<
that are transpiring in th^ world today
I ask myself the questior? wither
: are we drifting? There are *m<A"d '
1 crimes committed today among the
1 civilized people of the earth than has
I ever been known and it is not con- ,
I fined to any one class, but seems to
i be a universal epidemic,
j" I see where sons arc slaying fath- ;
, ers and vice versa. More women mur- <
dered than I have ever known before. ,
The papers are daily telling all over
our land of such murders. Our pails
are inadequate to hold the continuous 'j
stream of criminals that are pouring
into them from all walks of life and
MA am A in eioeVkt
?.w v.?M M4 oiguv.
We are supposed to be living in a i
prohibition. country, but let us look ;
and see if that is bo. I was reading
of 87 stills captured in a neighboring ;5
state, but hot one capture of those j
.that were operating them. It seems '
;t<P?>> that moonshiners arid bootlegget*
have organised ?<! formed a nojjdon-wide
com bination |
one, that has been in existence 2,000
years before Christ. Since the days
of Xenophen to the present time and
i will be until time is no more. Your
correspondent took a trip that includ!
ed a radius of 80 miles or more and
at every stop he was approached and
j given to understand that he could get
the liquid that cheers from $1.50 to !
i $3.00 per quart. I found boys ranging
from 15 years to hoary hair men in
' declining years and one of them was
1 totally blind and so as the digest
says, we are on the eve of the milleni
ium. We have put away the flowincr
howl out of which it was represented
that serpents wriggled. We have
closed the saloon where we were told
nine-tenths of the crime originated
and what kind of a time are we having?
Murder is rife as ever ajid more
; common. The burglar insurance comj
panies have had to raise rates two or
1 three times on account of robberies.
And so I ask again whither art. we
! going? I know that we are drifting
to the grave and when we enter it we
| have passed through the last portal.
I We have drifted upon the life in eternity.
Let that be what it may.

HARDWICK SPEAKS
' AT CONFERENCE
Charleston, Dec. G.?A masterly adi
dross on the subject of taxation, the
feature of which was his whole-hearted
recommendation of a system.of
income taxation for states, was delivered
at the morning session of the
governors' conference, held at the
South Carolina hall, by Gov. Thomas
W. Hardwick of Georgia. Gov.
Nathan L. Miller of New York presided
and the governors were all present,
an addition to the number being
Gov. Henry J. Allen of Kansas, who
arrived last night. Following Governor
Hardwick's able presentation of
his subject, several governors took
part in a discussion, and so interested
was the conference on the question
that on a motion made by Governor
Cooper, wis 'decided to continue
the topic at tonight'^ session.
Much of what Govc.rftor Hardwick
had-to say as\t<5 conditions in Georgia ,
applied to this state, and Governor
Cooper followed the address with particularly
keen interest.
Governor Hardwick cohamenced his
adftjpess by reminding hiS hearers that
taxes ,?bf course, aro^nTways disagreeable,
and stated that it was the
duty of state governments, before
raising taxes, to reduce expenses as
much as possible without impairing
efficiency. The war brought about, he
stated, a tendency toward a multiplicity
of bureaus, both federal and
state organizations, whose purpose
was to "regulate everything and everybody";
and now was the time to
get rid of the unnecessary ones, and
in this way cut down governmental
expenses.
Governor Hardwick then stated that
he had always believed that a government
should be supported chiefly
out of the net income of the people
whom it represents; and that a? a
member of each house of congress he '
voted for the constitutional amendment
which made a federal income tax
lawful, and for the legislation carrying
out the new provisions of the constitution.

Dots of Clinton
As I am spending a few days over
in Laurens county I thought I would
drop the good old Times a few more
lines.
All the frmers of this county are
busy people. 1 have seen more grain
sowed in Laurens county up to this
time that 1 have ever seen in my
life, more plowing than any other
county. To be honest with Union
' county people it would do them some
' good if they would visit Laurens county
and see how they farm and take
* care of their land, heavy plowing with
' all kinds of compost and litter, deep
terraces and ditches with draw
bridges ever the ditches and terraces
in order to save the ditches. I see
land here today that will make fine
corn or cotton when 15 years ago it
wouldn't have made a bushel of peas
to the acre.
There are some fine people in old
Laurens.
The people at the cotton mills seem
, to thin there won't he anything made
another year if the farmers keep moving
to the mills, and I am beginning
to believe the same thing.
Clinton people are expecting a big
Christmas this year. I hope the correspondents
of the good old Times will
have a joyous Christmas,
i Busy Bee.

F. J. Pittman of Greenwood is ii\

that Marshal Foch gets.
NO AGREEMENT
ON FOREIGN DEBT
Washington, Dec. 0. ? The sehate
finance committee quit work tonight
after a day's discussion of the foreign
debt bill without having reached an
agreement on which the measure could
be reported to the senate. Further
consideration of the question was
postponed until Thursday.
The house pioposal placing the power
of negotiating b tsos of settlement
of 11 o w.v 'onus ;n the bends < f
supervisory commission of live n.>
hers as the stumbling block w'.r I
upset the plan of committee leaders
to have the set ate at once begin work
on the measure.
It was understood that several 'i>
publicans were inclined to support
the amendment of Senator Sim
mons of North Carolina, rank
ing Democrat on the committee,
which would strictly limit the power
of the commission. Some Democrats,
however, were said to oppose the Simmons
amendment and the North Cars- '
lina senator has called a meeting ? f
the minority members for tomorrownight
at which time he hopes to hare
them decide on united support of it. 1
Mr. Simmons' amendment provides
that there can be no cancellation < i
remission of principal or interest on
any of the loans and specifies that :
the interest payments must not be
delayed longer than July of next year.
The amendment provides further that
1h<> United Stuff's ek-ill not nnrmil
interchange of bonds of the debtor
power in payment of the obligations
except in the case of newly created 1
governments. The commision would 1
be left discretionary powers in dealing
with debtor governments except :
as to the cancellation or remission of
the debt.
Big Case in Newberry
Newberry, Dec. 4.?Court of common
pleas, in session here this week
with Judge Edward Mclver, of Cheraw,
presiding, has had its time almost
wholly taken up for the entiie
week on one of the most interesting
and far-reaching cases that has ever
been before the courts of this county.
The case was that pf William.-jPolcufacturers
company, of Whitmire, S.
C., against J. P. Stevens & Co., of Now
York city.
The case went to the jury late
Thursday afternoon. Late Friday afternoon
a verdict for the defendants
was reached and reported.
The case in question was for the
recovery of $000,000 damages which
the plaintiffs claimed that they had
sustincd by the premeditated plans "f
the J. P. Stevens company, by which,
be alleges, they secured bis signature
u> a contract making over to them of
his stock in the company and securing
for them the resignation of himself
as president, as well as the rcsigna
i i*?!i i?i hit* iinauiriUM'n iiuiii uir illrectorate
of the company. The piai i
tiffs farther claimed that the whole
scheme was concocted on the part of
the defendant to secure control of the
mill and that they immediately elected
new officers and directors and her- ,e
to run the mill at an enormous ex
pense in order to depreciate the stock
and r< duce the earnings with tin- direct
aim of placing the plaint ill's
where they would not be able to buy
back the stock.
The case began Monday morning
and was hard fought throughout.
Representing Coleman were It. Beverly
Herbert, of Columbia; H. M. Edmunds,
of Columbia; Hunt, Hunt &
Hunter and Dr. George B. Cromer, of
the Newberry bar. Representing th<
defendants were Grier & Dark, of
Greenwood; J. E. McDonald, of
Winnsboro; Mr. Patterson, of New
York city; Mr. Cooke, of Charlotte,
and K. S. Blease, of the local bar.

HARDING GOES
BEFORE CONGRESS
Washington, Doc. 0.? Launching of
the new session of congress was completed
today with delivery by President
Harding of his opening address
at a joint session of the senate and
house made notable by the presence
of delegates to the armament limitation
conference.
Proposals for a flexible taritT, adjustable
by the president or the tariff
commission for an industrial tribunal
and for a constitutional amendment to
stop the flood of tax free securities,
were the president's outstanding
statements on domestic affairs. Turning
to the international field the president
said of the armament limitation
conference that "a most gratifying
world accomplishment is not improbable."
He also urged enactment of
the measure for funding the allied
debt, proposed food relief for starving
Russia, expressed atisfaction over
the nation's being at peace and held
out promise of aid to the world in war
restoration.
A great reception was given tinpresident
by what was said to be one
of the largest audiences ever jammed
into the house chamber. Demonstrations
of a full minute each occurred
when he entered at 12:30 o'clock and
again when he concluded at 1:20, the
entire audience standing and applauding.
Applause also broke into his address
frequently, especially from
house members when 42 discussed
topics of administration policy and
with especial volume when he advanced
his plan for a tribunal to weigh
disputes between capital and labor and
declared that labor organizations
should not be permitted to "exact unfair
terms of employment or subject
the public to actual distress."
The audience, which included the
cabinet, diplomatic corps and many
high officials, besides the foreign delegates,
also responded warmly when,
with manifest feeling, the president
urged aid for starving peoples of Russia
and proposed a gift of 10,000,000
bushels of corn and 1,000,000 bushels
of seed grain.
Presentation later of more .detailed views
on the shipping situation, was ^
promised by the executives, ill declat- *
in g that h e o ppos^cj a bro^^on of ^ ^
Jones act. Such abrogations,
would cause "chaos." A suggestion for * * ' %
a plan for "reimbursement" to ship
operators was accepted as an advance
statement of his previously announced
views as to ship subsidies.
The president's recommendations
wore received by Republican leaders
with widespread expressions of approval.
although some declared that
one or more of the executive's proposals
would be difficult if not im
possible ot early enactment.
Prompt response came to portions
of the president's roe >mmendations.
Immediately after the joint session
the senate passed a hill, urged by
Secretary lloover of the department
of commerce as head of the American
Relief administration, authorizing doration
to the administration of surplus
medical and other stores of the
at my.
Legislation to meet tin- president's
recommendations for flexible taritf
rate< also was pro pi sod immediately
bv Senator Smoit (Republican) of
I * t ah. He introduced amendments to
the pending tariff bill which would
