UNION, S. C.p MARCH 16, 1912
WORDS POORLY EXPRESS THE
HEART'S THANKS.
The many kind expressions of sympathy
in the recent disaster which has
come to the writer in the destructive
fire that destroyed the Times plant
and building, go to show that there is
in the heart of one's fellows an
abiding spirit of good will. It Is hard
for us to remember that this 1b the
case m toe grinding and exacting
cares of life. Many of us go on from
day to day, carrying a heavy load.
& A kind word, a letter expressing good
will, some expressions of the kind
ness we feel, would go a long way to
hearten us. We bow our backs to the
_A load, and plod on; and, sometimes we
feel like giving up the struggle. Then
comes some crisis, some misfortune,
some sudden shock, and l.o! upon evV
* or^ hand there are helpful and true
. friends who stand by us in the day
of trouble. There are many who read
these lines th^-'will realize that JJie
PPPP^U$^6 the TT neW mian TfndaThTmset?
has no words in which to express
gratitude. To each one who has
written, to each one who has spoken
i a word of cheer and of good wishes,
| \ he it sincerely grateful. But there
f is this to it: The reception of these
^ sincere expressions of good cheer
? produce a feeling of humbleness and
j of ui.worthiness. One feels ashamed
"* that lie has not been a better man, a
higher type of citizen, a more dutiful
servant of his fellows. Say,
Brother Man, it puts into motion all
the heart-throbs and stirs one to try
the harder to do his "dead level
best." Here's a pledge to each friend,
to the great world that sadly needs
kindness and to the Great God who
rules over the destinies of men: By
God's help we will "do our best, our
deal level best" to honestly and
faithfully serve others and to help
others, in the stern struggle to higher
and better things.
We heard Governor Blease's speech
in the opera house Saturday and Dart
vj of his speech delivered on Main street.
While it is a free country and candidates
are at liberty to say about anything
under the shining sun they
please to say, we refuse to accopt
some things he said without rebuke.
Ills reference to "lying newspapers
and preachers" brought him no envia/
hie honors. True, one soul, under the
lash of the Governor's tirade againBt
"lying newspapers and hypocritical
preachers" cried out. "Send for
I> I ' " * *
into . <i onier surrea to demagogic
/.enl h\ the words of the speaker,
cried, He's got his dose." There was
no word of condemnation from the
lips of the Governor. His friend
stirred by the denunciation of the
newspapers and preachers, expresses
the contorting thought that one enemy
"got his dose." Would our worthy
occupant of the chair of Chief Executive
ti ns reseat himself upon that po- |
ilitton f?f linnA?1 - - -
... ......... . .?inot ne p?y a pnce |
so heavy as that for the honor he
seeks? The .people of this state will |
do well to think soberly before cast-i
Ing a ballot for a man who so far j
forgets himself as to Rtrlke a man In
distress, even when It Is his political ; i
enemy. If the worthy Governor had .1
accepted the real teaching of the Red <
Men, as he professes to have done, | <
and had so hip a heart for his/brother s
Red Men, would there not at least he 1
a square deal to an outsider, even '
though that outsider chanced to be a { I
newspaper editor and a preacher? t

We fee] sincerely grateful to Progress,
our contemporary, for the help
extended us In the matter of the use
of their entire plant. But we appreciate
more deeply the hind words expressed
by the editor, Mr. Allan Nicholson,
in this week's Issue of Progress.
Moreover, the Arm, outspoken stand
taken in that paper in the interest ofj
law and order heartens us. But
whatever may be said against the
editor oi Progress, and most editors
have enough said agaihst them, Mr.
Nichols n is no coward. We have not
been disappointed in the faith we had '
in his manhood. No one can read thiB '
week's issue of Progress and have any j
doubt: about where the editor stands.!
Thank you, Mr. Nicholson. You will
not find this scribe wanting, if he is
able to "wiggle'' a pen, should positions
be reversed.
We earnestly urge Hon. Lowndes J.
Browning to write us a letter upon
the present financial status of the
State of South Carolina His article
carefully read, gives one a desire
to know more, and Mr. Browning is
just the man to give us the facts, j
What say you, Mr. Browning? Wriit/

allowed by the good people of its cora-j
njnH^fn Mote
especially will tlfe respectable ele-|
ment of the population hold iip the
hands of Bditor Rice, if it shall be
shown, as now seems likely, that this
loss was incurred because of the vigorous
fight which The Times has
made, in hearty cooperation with the
other local newspaper, Progress,
against the forceB of lawlessness
which a; times in the recent past
have flagrantly flaunted their abomi
ii?iiuii? m me iacp or tne aecent citl-|
zenship of Union county. The rest of
thn State has observed with sympathetic
interest the campaign waged by
Editors Rice and Nicholson for decency
and order, and is "persuaded
that the battle has not been in vain
ahd that these editors have had a
.strong and increasing, if quiet, local
backing. It is to be hoped that the
people of Union do appreciate their
newspapers. A town can nave no better
asset than a clean and vigorous
local press.?Columbia Record.

A NOBLE WOMAN HAS PASSED 1
INTO THE GREAT BEYOND. j

Mrs. Henrietta Llttlejohn Jeffries of .
A?bnry, Cherokee county, died at Dr. (
James Jeffries' hospital In Spartan- .
burg the 4th of March. She was oar
-led there about a week before her <
death where an operation was per- ?
formed, but disease had gained too i
strong a hold upon her for medical i
skill to 8ave her useful life. She was : \
possessed with a gentle and amiable j1
disposition and fine musical talent 1
and was loved by all her acquaintinces.

was married to Mr. John D. Jeffries,'
February 18th, 1892. She leaves to
mourn her death a husband and eight
children, father, one sister, Mrs. Lou j
Crawford, two brothers, J. J. and T. :
A. Littlejohn, and many relatives and !
a host of friends. Her remains were '
buried in the family burying ground
near her home.
During/hor married life of twenty I

happiness and sunshine. She !
'united with the Jonesvllle Baptist
church before her marriage and ever
afterward lived a consistent christian
life and left the sweet dying
testimony that it was well with her
soul.
"Dearest Etta, thou hast left us,
Mere thy loss we deeply feel.
But tis God who hath bereft us,
He can all our sorrow^ heal.
Yet again we hope to meet thee
When the day of life is tied.
Then in heaven with joy to greet
thee, ' (
Where no farewell tear is shed." '.

Jonesville, March 12.?Last Saturday
was a lively day in Jonesville and
the merchants did a good business.
Farmers are beginning to move out
some guano, but the roads are in bad
condition tor hauling. Mr. J. Q.
Bishop, our township commissioner,
is having the split-log drag used on
tae roads when they are in order, to
good purpose.
The owners of The Union Times
have the sympathy of all our people
in the loss of their plant last week
by fire. 1 am sorry to hear that it 1b
supposed to be the work of an incendiary
and that some people in Union
had expressed themselves as being
glady of it. i am always slow to believe
that any fire is the work of a
property, i hope the people of the
town of Union and the county will
express sympathy for the editor in
his loss and trouble and give him the
support and encouragement that he
deserves.
