I'MUN, H. C. JAN. 3, 1*2.
Wo onli attention, to the letter o?
our first pi"o by "B. K. I)." It Is fu"
of good, sound dootrir e, and we hop*
that ft very farmer in Union count'
wiii read it and profit by it. It. entries
out our idea so often ?xpres?ein
these rohitrs that the hope of ou
fa rmers is In diversifying theirrropreiluciug
- he acreage and farming 01
the intensive plan, and making their
own compost- heaps for fertilizing
th-?ir crops It wili not do to remait
in the <>ld rut*, set out on the turf
pike, keen yourself posted, profit b}
the experience of those more successful,
watch after your farm as ant
other successful man watches after
Jhis business, embrace your opportunities
and success awaits you,
A petition contaiuig 2,000,000 signatures
pf sympathizers is soot
to be presented to president Roosevelt
urging him to enforce the treatj
of"Washi ^gtoo, which would prevent
England from securing supplies of
any kind even horses and mules if
this country. The petition la to be
presented by a delegation of 10,000
persons. The Boers only a^k to b?
allowed to tl^bt out their battles with
England, all they ask of the United
States is that we stand har.da off. This
is a reasonable request. The Boers
believe that if ail help were withheld
from England by other nations, that
they could bankrupt England In five
years, as they can eontiune the fightthat
long. Our sympathy is with the
brave Boers, and we ho ">e they will
yet win out, in their struggle with
Groat Brittain.
Willi this issue of Tee Times wo
enter into a new \e?r with bright
hopes foi' the future. We are mor?
than pleaded wiLh the welcome with
which I he Timks has heen received
Into the homes of its readers for the
52 weeks of the year just closed. We
feel that we have made friends
staunch ami true. YVe have endeavored
in our humble way to work for
the upbuilding of #lJnion, town and
county. \V* have tried to send witii
The Times s:- word r?f cheer to some,
comfort to others and encouragement
to all. Wo have striven to do our
duty as ??e Haw it, and we have beer,
led to he'iove that we have not
failed entirely in our efforts to send
to our readers a welcome weekly visitor
-into their in ones. We have
striven hard to this end and we
feel amply repaid for our greatest
efforts by the kind words of appreciation
and encouragement so liberally
bestowed. If we have made a single
.enemy w? are not aware of it. This
4s saying a great d?nl, for if there i*
Jiny businew as difficult to conduct
.without making enemies as the run
mug or a newsoaper, judging rrom
the experience of other editors, it. is
jiot known to the fourth estate. But
*re have not found it. so hard lifter
Jill to do .so. We always try to do
ento Others km >ve would have them
<to do onto us, s,c3 its a right pleasant
occupation, if you believe
it try It.
We believe that the precedence
Yhf. ijmks now enjoys is largely due
to the faithful work of our country
correspondents. We do not believe
any paper m ihe fl ate h*s a better
corps of Co respondents. They have
done I heir work faithfully rr?d well,
they have stood hy lis and helped us
to get the news from every section,
and we wish to thank them most
heartily for their valuable aid, and
to ea?di nr d every ore we say, may
the coming year I less you wl'h peaco
and plenty, may your cup of hsppiress
be filled to overflowing, and let
us all resolve to atiii further exert
ourselves to make ' hf Timks during
this year even better than during the
year just closed. There is no fault
to And frith the past year, but let
our motto be onward and upward,
i
THIi VAlUti Oh VACriN ITIOS
?\ o have for the last two years
Kino? small pox first appeared in
Union advocated vaccination. We *
h ive earnestly lent oar aid to the effort
to have this tiwn thoroughly
vacoiontled and we a'e glad that the
people have so generally back ?d up
toe effort. We believe we can uo*
saf-dy say that- Union is one of the
most thoroughly vaccinated town
tn<- state. We still urge every od*
who has not already beeu suecesfull;
vaccinated to lose no time in rend- '
ring yourself immune. 1 he Countr;
oiks have not been so thorough!;
acclnated and small pox is apparent 1

who have put off vaccination. As a:
itustranoii of i ho value of vaccinatioi '
?ve repoiduoesome statistics gathered 1
)j the British medical Journal that '
vi 1 i be interesting.
"In Germany vaccination is mad* 1
ompuisory by law, although the lav.
by to means oppressive. It inerelj
-quires all children to be vaccinateu |
i the second year of their life, and
sj be vaccinated during school age
So ?xcuse for uon-ennpliance with
he law is allowed. The country's rnte
f mortality from smallpox is aceord.gly
the lowest in tlie world. For ex
hi.pie, in 1899, there were but 28
li-atos from ihe dioeaes in the whole
rerman population of 64,000,000-the
rate per inition being .5-. Ai.d light
ts rhat rHte wus, it wus much heavier
i.hau was that of preceding years. In
1898 it was .28 per million; in 1897
it was .09 per million, and in 1896 it
was .19.
Neariy all the 28 deaths in 1899,
t is further noted, were clos<- on the
Russian and Austrian borders, neither
Russia nor Austria having coinpuisorj
vucciuation. No death from smallpox
occurred in any GermaD city of over
.)0,000 p'pulation. Only four deaths
iccuirid in the 285 towns, with a
population of 16.000.lKiO?the rate
C L K.t. o it..... r
iur iiti'iii uoi ig o iiiuiiuu. 11 ir
tne most extraordinary allowing of
low mortality from the disease that
i?as ever been made.
The comparison made by the Jouroal
in the case of towns of Austria.
Belgium, Great Britain and France,
where there 13 no compulsory vacci
nation, is sufficiently striking, without
uny added comment.
In r>8 twwns in Au.-trin, with a
population of nearly 4.(MX).1)00, the '
small p<>x deaths in J.899 were 77, a
ft*te of 20 0 per million. In 73 towns
of Belgium, population 2,414,0tX), the (
deaths iu J899 were 120, a rate of
52 2.
In lift British towns, population
11,404 000, the deaths in 1899 were
145, a rate of 12.7.
In 110 French towns, population i
8.608,000, the deaths iu 1899 were
d .O, a rate of 09.2. i
Summarzlng the comparison, It '
tppearsthat th* dCMth rate from '
-nmllpox per million of tow.') populn- <
tion in the four countries last named, f
where vaccination is discretionary, ?
r..i)ges frOm 24 to 140 times the rate i
in Germany, where it is compulsory." f

law passed in Washington, compelling ^
newspaper publishers to cut off a .

vVe think this an unheard Qj thing '
and enter pur protest against any '
such railing. While it is right to pay ,
for your paper promptly, wp Jcnow
that the failure to do so is the result 1
of forgetfulnesg when in town, and '
we do not. mind crediting a sub.serih-r
