O Considerable cotton has been sold during the past week. O Temptation overcome builds a character; temptation that overcomes destroys it. O The stingy man is despised; me prodigal is pittied. Both are on the wrong track. 0 A blind tiger is an enemy to society, a disgrace to his community and a potential murderer. O If you are not yet ready with your exhibit for the county fair, "get 99 x! ! - -I x uu?y. a ne ume is snore. 0 Good roads are as necessary to a prosperous community as shoes for the feet of a civilized people. 0 Many who curse conditions for their lack of good fortune are themselves to blame for all the ill luck that ever came their way. 0 Don't forget the Union County Fair, October 16-17-18. Great preparations have been made to take care of the visitors to Union during these three days. Let everybody come. O One of the most promising young men known in his community made a wreck of his life. He was frequently heard to say: "A man is a fool who cannot take a drink and let it alone." He died drunk. O you should heed the appeal of Chairman Macbeth Young in this issue of The Times. If you are a Democrat, and you desire to see a Democrat elected president of the United States, help the cause by subscribing to the campaign fund. O The marked improvement in our country schools, as well as in the schools of the towns and cities, is one of the most promising signs of the times. No lover of humanity can be satisfied until every child in the sphere of his influence has a "square deal" and a "fair show." O The Southern Railway will have an exhibit at the county fair which is of useu worm any man 8 lime to come to see. This exhibit was here once, but nothing like as many people saw it as should have done so. There are added to it many new features, and it is very instructive. 0 One of Union's citizens urges that we advocate the application of crude petroleum on the streets of Union. He says the oil costs but two cents a gallon and will give relief from the dust. He further states that the oil does not have to be applied except at long intervals. We pass the suggestion on to the city authorities. LOOK FOR YOUR LABEL. We have been very much gratified over the treatment our appeal to our subscribers recently. Renewals have come to us from Texas to Florida, to say nothing of near-by points. We greatly appreciate this response. We beg that each one will look at the little yellow label on his codv of The Times. You will see just after your name a certain date. That shows to when you have paid. If you find that your subscription has expired, help us by renewing your subscription. The fall has opened up. Business is good. Prospects are bright. "Everybody is nappy." Help The Times man to get p with the "happy gang" by sending in your renewal. O LET'S KEEP OUR MONEY AT HOME. A look into our pages this week will convince you that our merchants are doing "some" advertising. They have the goods. The prices are right. No need for you to go to Spartanburg or any other "burg" for what you want when you can get the same thing here and for less money. When you trade at home you help yourself as well as your merchant. When you make your dollars here and go elsewhere to spend them you are simply impoverishing the soil that produces your harvest. Every dollar that goes out of Union ceases to circulate here. It's gone to pay debts elsewhere and left debts here unpaid. Money in circulation in a community helps all round. Read the advertisements in this week's Times and see if you cannot find just what you want and at a remarkably low price. We feel sure you can. 0 Lockhart Junction News Lockhart, Junction, October 7?This is pretty October weather, such as every one likes to see, especially the farmers, as they need it to gather their crops. This is a good time to sow oats, and some are wantinv to get at it. , Cotton is opening fast and the farmers are picking it out and selling it as fast as they get it out. The gins are beginning to run on full time. The crop is certainly a short one. One of the shortest crops we have had in several years. , The price will go down to 9 cents and in the spring somebody will get 12 or more. I hope I may be fooled about it, for it ought not to go below 11 cents, if it does it will be speculation. It seems everybody is getting quiet about the election of the governors and it should be the case and let no ill feeling be against any one. Rev. W. H. Ariail, the minister in charge, reached a very forceable sermon last Sunday at New Hope church. The writer wishes that every member of the church could have heard it. The board of stewards would have a better chance to collect the pastor's salary, for he preached on the subject of the duty of the church members, and in various ways he explained it. I will throw this out, so that every one may come up and help the preacher and pay his salary. Mr. I. D. Page and son, Millard, who lives near Pacolet, visited rela* tives in this section last Sunday. Mr. Page has in his yard a very large White Oak tree that has furnished about ten bushels of acorns and which has helped to fatten his hogs. Mr. R. G. White and wife and Mr. D. C. White visited relatives in Cherokee county last Saturday and Sunday. Mr. W. T. Hart and family of Pacolet were down to see relatives last week. Mr. S. G. Gault happened to the misfortune of losing his right hand while feeding the corn shredder last week. Mr. N. C. Rollins visited the writers home last Sunday evening. Mr. Rollins is very old, being in his 84th year. He has good health, except his eye...L:?L i- /-M! *-_A * aiKin, which is lauinK somewnai, ana he can't get glasses to suit him. Land Sale.
