UNION. S. C.. FEB. Id. 1912.
Work is the beat sauce a dinner
ever had.
If you are of no service to others
you are of little account to yourself.
The voices raised in Hoeanna were
the same which said Crucify! crucifyl
J '
The life worth while is the life
that^ finds itself then gives itself
away.
mi l a _ ?i
rue man wno expects someimng
for nothing is in a fair way to lose
what he haa. j
Raising corn at a dollar a bushel 1
is better than raising cotton at nine
dents a pound. If vou will figure it .
out you will find this statement to j
be true.
Do not wait for the applause of I
men to teach you to do your duty. ]
Many of those who have served I
most have received little praise. 1
What difference does it make, any- I
way? 1
We heartily endoise the rural po- .
lice hill for Union county as passed
by the legislature this session. We 1
understand the measure has passed,
and it is a move in the right direction.
To have an officer of the law
journey from one end of the county !
to the other, armed with police
power, cannot fail to exert a whole- (
some influence. It will give to the i
remote settlements a feeling of se- 1
curity and will exert a wholesome (
restraint upon the lawless. ,
The Great Teacher said: "Except
ye become as little children ye can- (
not enter the kingdom of heaven." <
But He did not say that we were to i
he always little children. Enter j
like a little child. Grow to manhood,
womanhood. Many who pro- .
fess to have entered the kingdom j
long ago are cloaking themselves in i
infantile garments in the hope of
escaping Uih work of mature years
Infants to get in; being in, grow to |
maturity. "Quit ye like men, be |
strong." j
The list of paid subscriptions pub- J
lished on the front page of The t
Times this week tells its own story, i
but does not fully express the sin- >
qrvnroniofiAn two liU (
oral response our appeal has net |
with. We are heartily thankful to (
each and every one of thcoe kind
friends, near and far, for the hand- ?
some result shown. It looks very e
much like a linotype to us. That *
means a bigger, better paper at the B
same old price?one dollar a year. ?
Many of our friends have spoken or s
written assuring us that before the 1
thirteen weeks were out they would
not forget to renew and that means? t

One of the greatest events of mod- ,
fcrn times is the recent downfall of i
the Munchu dynasty in China and ?
the -etting up of a republican gov- 8
unraeut. Ton years ago it appeared *
to the casual student of current af- c
fairs as one of the remotest possible 1
#
!'vents. But it has come, and the
lew constitution id modelled closely
ifter that of the United States.
More than four hundred millions of
jeople?that will certainly be a
nighty republic, in numbers, anyvay.
It seems strange that the people
who indented the printing press
tnd gunpowder should be so long in
:oming into their liberty. If either
lad been allowed to get in its work
he republic would have come long
igo.
We muBt again congratulate the
gentlemen of the Board of Conntv
Commissioners who used the splitog
drag after the heavy rains and
mow during January. We have
lad occasion to travel several roads
reated in this manner since the
ong and severe spell of weather and
t is astonishing what good results
ire to be attained by the use of these
<plit-log drags. It will be a fine
,hing to follow the snow of this
week with these same implements of
wonder; then, as the spring opens
jp, our roads will he in fine shape.
)ne remarkable thing about the use
>f these drags is the rapidity with
which the roads dry out after they
tiave had this treatment. Split-log
Irags, sand, clay and the combined
effort of our public-spirited officials
make a combination that will give
js one of the best things of advanced
civilization?good roadB.
It now seems very probable that
there will soon be a telephone line
connecting Union and the neighborhood
between Tyger and Fair Forest
rivers, to the south of the upper
Cross Keys rood. Messrs. B. W.
Sparks, L. G. Bishop, G. C. Greer,
Charlie Bailey and Mr. Ray and
others were in Union Tuesday talking
over the matter with Mr. W. H.
West, manager of the Southern Bell
Telephone Co. here, and from all
indications they will agree to put in
this line, which will come into Union
via Sardis church.
If we can now get a line down
into Qoshen Hill township we will
have the county pretty well covered.
We would be glad to see a direct
line from Union down into Goshen
Hill, but if that cannot be had we
hope it will be possible to get a line
trom Mrs. Sartor's residence into
that section. There we would have
Lhe county united. * It is woith
woiking for and we will gladly help
t to be realized in any way in our
[)ower.
Jonesville News Letter.
Jonesville, Feb. 13.?The snow
:hat fell Taturday night was four
nches deep here on a level.
Sam Davis, a colored man of the
>ld issue, died at his home here Saturday
night. DrODSV was the maun
if his death.
I have talked with quite a number
if farmers and they all say they are
lot going to use as much guano this
pear as they did last year but they
jvill plant about the same acreage in
jotton. As to corn the white farmirs
will plant what they think will
make enough for their own use but
die negro tenants don't care much
for corn. They go strong for cotion.
They don't mind making
jotton even at 8 cents and buy corn
n a dollar a hushel, which it* to my
mind poor farming.
It seems that our present legislators
are inclined to spend or rather
tppropriate money with a lavish
liand. They had a mind to appropriate
one million for repairs to the
state house, one million for the new
hospital for the insane and a quarat
million for a cotton warehouse in
!>>lumhia for the whole State and if
his latter hill passes farmers living
n the extreme parts of the State
vould have to ship their cotton to
Columbia to get the benefit of the
varehouse if there was any benefit
n it. It seems to me it would be
:las8 legislation.
Messrs. Zach and Lr-ster Reeves
ire building another dwelling on the
lame spot their dwelling was burnt
i few weeks ago. Mr. N S. Thackiton
is doing the work. Mr. Thack
iton is a fine architect and builder
ind ia up-to-date on the modern
ityle of building bungaloea or any
>ther styles.
The Joneaville Live 8took Co. has
i bunch of fine Kentucky mules at
heir stables here.
The very sad and unexpected news
>f the death of Mrs. Is-ila McNeace
vas received here last Friday mornng.
It was a shock to her relatives
md many friends here. 8he was
ihout thirty-nine years of age and
ill these years were spent in a quiet,
jeaceful, even disposition, kind and
>bliging. She was the only child of
ier parents and the idol of their
home, but death ia no reepector of
persons and often claims the brightest
jewels for its victims. Only one
child, Mr. Arthur McNeace, and
her husband survive her in the immediate
family but there are many
other relatives and friends that now
mourn for her sad and sudden demine.
The farmers' institute of Clemson
College is to be here today and will
make their demonstrations and addresses
at the Graded School building.
Mr. T. J. H. Harris, of Union,
visited relatives here last week.
, Mrs. M. M. Lawson and child, of
Columbia, visited the family of Mr.
J. W. Bates last week.
"Mr. E. L. Eison and children, of
Gaffney, visited the family oftMr.
i N. B. Eison last week.
Mr. D. P. Holder, who has been
confined to his home with sickness
for the last four months, is no better.
The oil mill ginnery here has been
ginning a good deal of cotton during
the last two weeks.
John Fernandez, a colored man
of Jone8ville, has brought suit for
damages against the Western Union
Telegraph Co. for $1,999 for mental
anguish on account of a delayed
message when Fernandez's son was
sick and died in Georgia a few weeks
since. Telephone.
Mt. Tabor Dots.
i Mt. Tabor, Feb. 14.?As I haven't
, seen anything from Tabor in a good
while I will write a few dots.
The wedding of Miss Sophie
Broome, of Lockhart, and Mr.
Avery Byrd, of Mt. Tabor, at Lock,
hart, Sunday, Feb. 11th. by Rev.
, J. E. Coker, was quite a surprise to
their many friends and relatives.
The marriage was kept a secret but
' news reached'Tabor before the train
' did and quite a number of their
friends passed through the train and
showered them with rice. The young
couple were on their way to their
home in Shelton, S. C. Their large
circle of friends wish the young people
much success through the coming
veftrft
Mies Maggie Long, of Columbia,
and Miss Goudelock and brother J
of Union, are visiting the Misses
Moorehead, of Tabor.
Mr. Walter Hames spent the afternoon
in Tabor Sunday. He and
Miss Bowie spent a very pleasant afternoon
with Misses Violet and
Belle Moorehead.
We had a nice snow Saturday
night and every one seems to be enjoying
it.
Mrs. R. C. Shands and MiBS Mim- 1
nie Bowie drove to Union throuifL
1 the country Saturday and came very*
near being snowbound on their way
home.
Miss Edna Baldwin and Mrs. E.
E. Byrd spent the day in Union Saturday.
Mr. Thome Johnson spent the
day in Union Saturday having some
work done by the dentist.
Born to Mr. and Mrs. Tom Cudd,
Feb. 11th, a bouncing girl.
Miss Eflie Vaughn returned to
Tabor after spending a few pleasant
.1 !*?- I - ' - ? ~
uuys wivii ner sisier, Mrs. tl. L.'.
Cranford, at Lockhart.
Miss Vaughn and Miss Eliza Byrd
spent Sunday afternoon with Mrs.
R. C. Shands, who served cream and
cake, as cream is very cheap when
it snows.
The oyster supper given by Miss
Bowie, the beloved teacher of Mt.
Tabor, for the benefit of the school
room, was a success, as are all of her
undertakings. The
school room is now furnished
with new desks and a new stove.
The people of Tabor will never be
hIiIa t.n Khnw fhnir nnnnmiufinn
n<?t only the instructions given their
children, but her good work towards
the welfare of this community.
We have all room to praise Miss
Bowie as our large Sunday school,
which started from a small singing
organized by her, won the banner
last year for contributing the most
money towards organiziug Sunday
schools where there are none. We
are proud of our Sunday school and
Miss Bowie also. We will never be
able to find another like her, high
nor low, but will endeavor to keep
her if love and money can. She
works towards the upbuilding of the
country's morals and if things were
done according to her ideas this
i would be the mnd?l *vmntr?/ on.l
would send forth noble men and
women which would possibly he our
future presidents and win fame for
themselves and their country. Again
I Hay we can't praise her too much.
The men of Tabor are at last
aroused and we think the debt of
Mt. Tabor church will soon be raised.
The ladies' prayer band, which only
has a few memtiers, gave $10 towards
the debt. Everyone is waiting
anxiously to. see the church dedicated.
The ground is in no shape to begin
farming now. Brown Eyes.
Rev. J. M. Way, State superintendent
of Sunday schools for the 1
South Carolina conference, will J
speak in Lockhart Saturday night,
Sunday morning and 8unday night.
