> Danger of Colds and Grip. j
The greatest danger from" colds and
grip Is their resulting ip pneumonia. If
reasonable care is used, however, and
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy tnkon,
all danger will be avoided. Among the
a# iliAiia.nHa whn hava imnil il.io
remedy for these diseases we have yet
to learn of a singlecase having resulted
in pneumonia, which shows conclusively
that it is a certain preventive of that
dangerous disease. It will cure a cold
or an atta* sk of the grip in less time
than any other treatment. It is pleasant
and safe to take. For sale by Dr.
F. C. Duke.

Gapt. J. ?. Hunter has called ameeting
of the old membors of the
Johnson Rifles and the prospective
members to take place in the oid
Armory of th.o Johnson Rilles Wednesday
night of next week at S o'clock.
The object of the meeting is the reorganization
of the company. Gapt.
Hunter informs us that he has 125
names for the new company. Union
should have a military oompany and
we are glad to see that the Johnson
Rifles are to be re-organized.
The company took their uniforms,
guns and accoutrements with them
when they went to the SpanishAmerican
war and turned them in to
the government when they were mustered
out. The company will be
equipped with the new OraigJargerson
rifles and new uniforms.

It Pays to Advertise.
The grand rush at Holmes' Pharmacy
Thursday of last week to get
the free packages of liver and kidney
medicine, the distribution of
which was advertised in Thk Times
to take place on that day, is a glowing
evidence of the fact that advertisements
are read by the people who
take the papjrs. At the hour advertised
for the distribution to take
place there were already a crowd of
people in waiting, and we learn from
i Dr. Holmes that in a few hours time
the agent had given away $12o worth
of the fifty cent packages of the medcine,
and there were many more
coming in for them all the remainder
of the day but they were too late.
This should teaoh you a lesson that
when you see bargains advertised in
> The Times by our hustling business
' men make up your minds to not be
i late in getting there or others more
alert may have gotten there ahead of
you and got what you wanted/

Don't Depend On Cotton.
Mr. J. B. Tracy, of Xiockhart, one
of The Times' ataunch friends, was in
to see us a few days ago, and in a general
conversation we found that he
had the correct idea of farming, and
wo began to pump him. Other farmers
would greatly improve their condition
by following his example. We
l&earn that his farm consists of a llt!tte
more than a hundred acres, that
last year he only planted a little over
bix acres in cotton and made three
bales on it. But he planted corn,
peas, sorghum cane, potatoes, grain,
etc., besides he raised hogs and chick9
ens, and had two cows, raised vegetables,
etc. In this way he has hfd
.money all along and is making a success.
Ho always takes something
fro.m his farm when he goes to market
to tu'ru into money. lie says his two
cows itiake all the butter he uses in
his family and 10 to 18 pounds a
week for sale. He can sell it always
at lfjc to ^Oc a pound, giving him an
income of about $8.00 a week from
this source alone, to say nothing of
the eggs he g'Cts from his forty hens,
an average of something like $2.75 a
week for eggs. His vegetables, potatoes,
peas, etc., furnish another
source of income. This is an evidence
of the fact that it is poor business and
poor judgment to depend upon a cotton
crop for the support of your
family and to get ahead.
How long will it be before our
farming friends will see that there is
more money in supplying the demands
of the people than the ctton
buyer. If yon bring cotton to town
you bring an nrtiole that is wanted
by possibly four or {ftvejpeople, viz :
the cottou buyers. If you bring beef,
pork, chickens, eg^s, molasses, potatoes,
peas, butter, vegetables, etc.,
yon bring what 7,000 people want.
If the four cotton buyers don't pay
you what you think is right for your
cotton you have to take what they
offer or carry it back home, which,
sad to relate, you very often cannot
do. on acemmt nf that lien that is
I hanging over you and has its vice
grip on that same cotton. While on
, the other hand if three or four or a
dozen happen not to want your vegetable,
potatoes, butter, eggs, etc.,
you have thousands of others to try,
and you don't have to carry anything
of that kind back home. And there
Is possibly not one out of every hundred
of onr farmers who could not
raise all these things.

Messengers of Spring.
The skies grow soft and tender,
The sun at noon is high,
The willow's silver mittens
Are peeping at the sky,
The grasses show their bladelets,
The brooks go dancing by,
And all the world is smiling,
For Springtime days are nigh.
The robins in the orchard
Are flying here and there,
The birches' yellow tassels
A crreener ilmns nnn.- woo?
The earth seems all awaking
With beauty sweet and rare:
It is to welcome Springtime,
That comes so pure aud fair.

Letter to Geo. M. Smith.
Union, 8, C.
Dear Sir*?The cost of labor in
painting a house is three times the
cost of the paint. You seem to save a
little when you buy a lower priced
paint, but you certainly add to the
cost of labor when you pay for spreading
more gallons.
You don't even save on the paint.
Devoe Lead and Zinc costs a little
more than mixed paints, but it takes
fewer gallons, aud the cosi is actually
less.
Wears longer too?longer than
lead and oil.
You don't save a cent.
Mr. C. Loch, a painter in Magnolia,
Miss., write;:
After years of experiments with
mixed paints, I find that yonr paint
covers more surface to the gallon than
any I have ever used. For density
and wearing qualities it cannot be
excelled.
C>mparcd with lead and and oil:
A house belonging to the late President.
of lllO f'i>n?An -A
? - V. V1"VUI1 IklVCI DNUK, at
Brewsters, N. Y., (cost $31,000) was
painted with lead and oil in '84 at a
cost of $400. In '87?three years?
it was repainted with Davoe at a cost
of $350. In '97 the house was still
all right.
Results: leed and oil?cost $400,

DOWN ON SOCIAL EQUALITY.
Doubts Mrs. Wards Powers.
Wt'ST Srnisas, Narch 12?1 see
that Telephone is i i favor of higher
taxes fur the improvement of roads,
lie corroberates my vitw3 almost ex
act'y.
I would like to shake your hand,
too, dear editor for your article last
week on Social Equality and regarding
Roosevelt's behavior in the White
House. I think that should be the
way for every white man to see it.
I don't exactly agree with you in
publishing Mrs. \Yar<Ts letters. I
think it is teaching superstition too
much. Tradition tells us that our
ancient ancestry were ver/ supetsti
tious, but as the people became more
enlightened it gradually diminished
until now there ere onlv a omall
cent., practically speaking, who are
very superstitious. Yet I will admit
that the whole human family are
somewhat tainted with superstition
I don't believe that God docs allow
anybody to pull the veil aside ai.d
look into the future. God alone
knows positively what the future will
be. Mau can judge the future by
the past and that is all.
Mr. F. M. Rountree is very sick at
this writing.
Mr. L. P. B)gan, our new magistrate,
has received his commission,
and cases are beginning to pour in.
Farmers are getting behind with
their work on account of so much

Swift Pittiiahmen t a
Deterrent of Crime.
The most important duty of any
police force is the control of the vagrant
and crimiral classes and the
prevention of crimes against person
and property. There are many other
and important fields of usefulness,
but unless the force is successful in
dealing with crime it is a failure. As
a deterrent of crime, nothing is prob*
ably more effective than swift and
sure punishment. In England, a
murder trial is completed within a
few weeks, or months at the outsider i
after tho apprehension of the accused,
acd from tho first trial there is no
appeal to a higher court of review or
appeal. The wis iom of permitting no
appeal in capital cases is a question
which has been widdy discussed, and
cannot ho taken up here, sayB Avery
D. Atdrews, writing for the March
Cosmopolitan. Whether wise and
humane or not, it ia interesting to
note that the police recoidt show an
astonishingly small number of murders
in London, and I believe that
the celerity with which the trials are
conducted has much to do with the
suppression of this most heinous of
all crimes. According to the official
report of the Commiat-ioner of the
Metropolitan Police, there were to
p>rt<d to the Lmdon po'ioe only
twcniy-f'?sir murde?8 in tin calendar
year 1901 and this out of a population
of over 6,000,000.
