UNION. S. C.. JAN. 12, 1912.
LETS ORGANIZE AN ASSOCIA
TED CHARITIES.
For several weeks we have beei
urging the organizing of an assoeia
tion for the collection and distrihu
tion of money in cases of deservini
oharit3*. So far there lias l>een littl
response to our appeal. One reade
this week expressed his approbation
He says it would l?e a good move fo
Union; he further told of ease:
where appeal was made to him fo
help which he willingly gave, ant
that he afterwards found that he hat
t?een sadly imposed upon. That'i
just it; the public is imposed upoi
under the present conditions, and i
should he protected. Then, too
the most deserving cases of charity
go frequently without help for tin
reason that such people shrink fron
asking help. Again, it often hap
pens that a case comes up where i
few dollars, at once, is of vast ait
to some deserving case. "YVhat'i
everybody's business is nobody':
business," and before help can b<
given it is too late. We need an or
iiaHnn . ir* ^ f
hwutM?l.lVU . , I A 111 vua*|^v UI suti
an organization should servo withou
pay. The merchants and husines:
men generally would be willing t<
contribute annually to such an in
atRution. It would save then
money and it would protect then
from unworthy applicants.
Will not the ministers of the towr
call a meeting some Sunday after
noon for the purpose of discussing
this matter and of organizing an as
sociation?
NO PRIZE OFFERED.
Kach day we are receiving renewals
of subscriptions and also letter*
from sul?scrif>ers who wish us success
in our effort to have a linotype
added to our plant. We feel grateful
to each and every one of these
kind friends. We have offered no
prize, gotten up no voting contest,
offered no inducements to the subscriber.
Why should we? The
subscriber expects to pay for bis pal*T.
He will do so sooner or later.
When we make known our intention
try to improve our plant lie pays
just a hit more promptly. That's
all there is to it. The prize contest
has about worn out. There is nothing
to it. Suppose wo offered to
give away a handsome piano. One
you tig lady, and but one, could get
the prize. All the other contestants
would be disappointed. Moreover,
the three hundred dollars which goes
to pay for a piano or some other
prize would leave us just that much
b-sa to put to gdod use in a way that
the sulwcriber would get some real
' benefit. The subscriber will bt
txoe'filed by having a better papei
co toe to him fifty-two times a year.
That's where he comes in. We fell
eure we could take our subsoriberi
into our ocnfidonce?toll them just
what we are striving to do? and wt
ha^.uot been mistaken, as you maj
. sa glance at our report ,oc

r|* FURTHER WORD TO ADVER-Ibi
TISERS. oi
; . sa
Now and ag&in a man gets the jft
r idea that be can find a better adver
tising medium tnan the newspapers u(
1 and that too at a lower cost. We ?
do not believe it. Many people pay
" as little attention to a circular letter ?
r ft
- which comes under a one cent stamp ^
" as they would to a falling leaf. Even ^
if they did pay attention it would
pile up cost. The Times going into w
o 2,400 homes, that means perhaps
o 12.000 readers. A man for a small
y<
5 sum can reach 12,000 people with a
message that sent in a circular would
0 cost 8120 for stamps alone. For "V
c reasonable price and a stroke that it
r hits the mark the newspaper is about ir
the Best. But The Times, earnestly tl
desiring to render faithful service, ti
1 takes this high ground: Vi
5 We want no "wild cat," whis- tl
r key or otherwise doubtful ad11
vertisements. Wo can live without h
them, and, we believe, in the long b
' run win a more lasting success.
4 We wish to say to advertisers this h
word: We are daily increasing s<
and perfecting our mail list. We
- have to-day a clean, well-paid-up ^
8 list of 2,400 names. That's going
- some. It cost effort and it cost
money, but it has proven a wise in- ^
vestment of both. We feel justly
proud of our record in this matter. a
We do not propose stopping. There
:l are additional worlds to conquer,
_ and we are "'going after them," but j'
. we do feel a just pride in the present ,
r. status.
5 jl
B Just one thing more: It pays to
r advertise. We have proven it over K
and over again. Wo can further
r demonstrate that newspaper ad
vertising is the least expensive and
SI
r the most effective way to reach the s
\ public. If you have nn organ,
1 piano, mule, horse, cow?in fact o
B anything that has value which you a
, no longer need, be sure there is
t some one, unknown to you, who
needs just what you do not. The t]
newspaper can get these two parties h
e together. We have brought hun- w
^ dreds together during the past year,
. and we are now better prepared than tj
t ever before to bring about this re- w
\ suit. U
p
LIVELY TIMES AHEAD. U
* " CI
B That there will be warm times in \\
* State politics this year seems to be ||
1 the expectation of those in position p
1 to know. There will be little chance r<
3 for sitting upon the fence. The tl
* lines are drawn as completely as u
" ever in the history of the State. ^
1 There is one thing, however, that a(
1 every sane man can do: he can re- a!
frain from vituperation and abuse, aj
1 He can take a sane and logical view
" of men and measures and then he
5 can vote as he pleases. That's what p
" we advise everyone to do?vote as
you please. But in doing this you h
must give the other fellow the right
w
to do likewise. There is little use ej
for you to pull your hair out in your a
. frenzy for or against any candidate; fr
little thanks you would get for such a?
, asinine conduct. That does not ('1
mean that you will refuse to discuss
, men and measures. The fullest d is- ^
( cussion, in the spirit of self-control, Ix
is a wholesome thing. of
We are going to have lively times
, in town and county politics this year
us well as in State politics. The indieations
are that there will be the p<
liveliest time known for many a P
, year. Let it come, hut let sensible,
! irev, imriKing people exercise at pi
least the semblance of self-control. bl
Such a course will help one to main- h,
( tain self respect and to exert a id
wholesome influence. j|
ARE POOR LANDS GOOD IN- Jj
1 VESTMENT?
i Some time ago we were discussing
with another man the question of a
i young man who intends to devote ^
, his life to farming buying lfind. of
I The writer stated that such a ypung *
; man should buy cheap, poor land M
r and improve it. The other man T
. took the opposite view and presented **
t it so logically that we had to own w
? that he had the better of the tt
L argument. If a youpg man buys c<
) a piece of land at 9^0 per acre
r and it produoes a half bale of
i cotton per acre he would have come ?
, opt better had he jjaid 920 an acre u
tor land that would produce one tt
?????wyn
ilc to the acre. 'Improvements put . (
1 the poor land will help, )>ut the
.me improvement bul on'the better . ,
nd will help more. We feel now,
i at the time of the argument with
ir friend, that he was correct in ,
is deductions. It is a betjter payig
proposition to buy good , land at
reasonably high price than very i
aor land at any price. It can be
gured out logically that if the very
oor land were presented to you it "I
ould not be as good as paying a
iod price for good lands-'-provided
au have the money to buy.

We wish to congratulate Senator
oung upon his spoech in the senate
i favor of passing the bill appointlg
an investigating committee over
in governor's veto. The legislate
passed a bill appointing an inestigating
committee to investigate
le old State dispensary at the last
ission. The governor vetoed the
ill on the ground that the mem??rn
<?f tlip worn r?r?f K.e
iends and he would not submit to
e investigated by his enemies. The
mate, on last Wednesday, passed
le bill over the governor's weto
iow if the house will do likewise
lere may be Homo startling revelaons.
It is reported that Seuator
'ourtg's speech in favor of passing
lie bill over the governor's veto;was
great speech. j
Hub Kvans, now under indictlent
for receiving rebates during
lie dispensary days, has announced
liat he will be in the race for attorn
ey general next summer. This is
liout the limit.

?emed to lie welcome by most every

lie old issue, died at her home here
ist Thursday. She had that loatbime

I enjoyed very much the letter p
lie Times last week under the cap/
on 1S501012. I remember well
hen Mr. R. A. McKnight came to
fnion in 1850 and started the pa- er,
the first in the county, The |
fnionville Journal. My father immenced
taking the paper fjom |
s first issue and continued to -take
, a6 long as he lived. I worked' in "
le office of the paper in the. yetftS59
and have been a regular corespondent
for the paper for-the last
lirty years and it is perfectly nat- ral
that these associations with the
aper would make it feel ndair and
ear to me. I could well follow the .
ccount given of its history all '
long through its life of sixty years
nd remember every event of its
fe, many of which were not men- *
oned in its letter last week, and I'
ish for it the success in contemlation
and which it well deserves.
The merchants have made but
:w changes in Jonesville.
Farmers have had no weather to
ork this new year, but this weath ,
uncomfortable as it is, is doing
good work for the farmers. Rain,'
eezing and snow all helps the land
id puts it in better condition for a
