Cheap rates over the railroads to
Washington on account of the inaugural
have been announced. You can
make the trip at a very low cost to
yourself. Go, if you can. It will 1
be money well invested. If you have
never been to the city of Washington
this is your opportunity.

Crime is rampant throughout c
South Carolina. The spirit of sheer
deviltry is abroad. And the end is 1
not yet. But the end is in sight. '
When the people of this State realize A
the real status there will be a revolution,
and then some. Let the future
prove the truth or falsity of our
prediction.
YOUNG MAN, BUY A HOME.
1
For some time I have thought
that there were quite a number of
young men who might be induced to N
buy a farm and locate thereupon. I
have felt that what was needed was
to get the man and the opportunity
together. I now have an opportunity
to put my theory to the test. I can 1
put a reliable, trustworthy young c
man in touch with a reasonably low- '
priced farm. It will require. $200 r
capital to make the first payment. r
The balance will be carried at 6 per
cent, and for any reasonable time. 1
The stipulations are that it be a ?
young man, married, white and of r
irood character?one in feet i
?- vf "llu 13
willing to build a home for himself, 1
and raise cotton, corn and grain and r
rear children. The place referred
to has a small dwelling and a barn
upon the premises. The total price ,J
is $800. c
The opportunity awaits the man. '
I am looknig for the man. If you are ^
the man, communicate with me. v

THE UNREST. a
t
Many people, upon reading of the t
robberies, murders and other grave e
crimes which are daily occurring v
throughout our State exclaim: "The
world is growing worse." Such in- s
terpreters of present-day events are
thoroughly satisfied that they have a
spoken sound doctrine. They sigh v
. and moan and shake their heads, t
They have not realized that there s
may be yet another explanation. We i>
believe there is. The present up. "
heaval, bad as it appears, is logical s
nd will lead to a higher, cleaner
ivilization. The unrest and lawlessless,
is one of the results of the
noving of the great, undeveloped and
inskilled body of humanity. There
ised to be a time when one man. 1
vitli culture, wealth, station in life i
lid the thinking and voting for a
chole community. Now-a-days the
vhole community is beginning to (
huik, and therefore, to vote; or rath- 1
r express its own and not another's
vill at the polls. That this new- '
ound liberty should often develop in- '
> license is no strange thing. It Is
me of the logical outgrowths of such j
t condition. After a time the froth '
md foam will have cleared away '
Hid the body beneath will have
rained immeasurably in intelligence, ^
ielf-control and power. Don't let the i
doa that the world is growing worse i
:o possess your mind that you can
;ec no other interpretation. The J
vorld is not growing worse. It is
iding itself. It may be that your ;
deas may be sadly shaken up and
hat you may have to readjust yourself
to the changes, but whether you 1
lo or don't will make little difference.
Slowly, painfully, with lapses many,
nankind is strugging upward; civi? 1
ization is advancing, humanitarian- '
sm is ascending. Experiments, are
ieveloping into fixed and proven-theories.
Yes, sir, with all the bloodshed,
vice, crime?and it is fearful?
ive are marching upward, onward, to
the serene and sure mountain tops of
history.
O
LETS BUILD A COTTON
WAREHOUSE.
One of the greatest needs of this
community is a cotton warehouse.
Such an institution would benefit all
. lasses?the farmer and merchant,
primarily, and everybody else indi
rectly. If we had such an enterprise
lere the farmer could bring his cot:o
it and keep it insured and borrow
money on it. This would enable
lim to pay whatever debts he owes
promptly and thus help all round. He
would then be in position to hold his
:otton as long as he wished.
We have repeatedly advocated this
novement, but, heretofore have met
with little response from those wln?
should be interested. We will go a
>it further now and suggest a plan,
[t is this: Build a warehouse to
:ost $5,000. Let the stock be of the
>ar value of $1 per share. Allow no
nan to have more than five shares.
u.et the building be of concrete and
with iron roof. Build low, the walls
lot over 7 feet from the concrete
loor within. Build as near to both '
-ailroads as practicable, and where
ap ground may be had. Have the
whole thing strong, plain, econonii ul.
Tax the owners of stock no ,
..w.^ ....mi viiuukii 10 Keep up repairs,
insurance, taxes and operating ex?enses.
This total would amount to ]
;ery little for each one. Suppose
here could be found 3,000 farmers
o take one share of stock and 2,000
nen of other occupations to take ,
>ne share each. Make the stock non- ;
ransferable, except upon the death 1
?f the holder, and then allow no 1
tockholder to purchase it. Let the '
najority rule it, and make as few (
ules as possible to govern it.
Of course we are merely suggestng
these things; we do not know '
mough as to the law governing such '
natters to speak with authority, but J
lave no doubt but that these suggesions,
or better ones, could be caried
out.
A lot to cost $500 to $1,000 and a '
>uilding to cost from $4,000 to $4,- *
>00 would be adequate. The thing
ould be done in a very short time,
'he next cotton crop could be hanled
through it. A building 100 feet
/ide and 200 lcet long would hold
>,000 bales of cotton standing on end.
'he walls, if 7 feet high, would leave
11 the space between cotton and roof
o get at fire should such a misforune
come. Automatic fire extinguishrs
and a $40 a month watchman
yould well-nigh eliminate the darv
:er from fire, and would, perhaps,
ecure low rate of insurance.
Now, Mr. Farmer, Mr. Merchant
nd Mr. Everybody, let's build a ^
warehouse. If you can suggest a bet- "
er plan, let's have it. I^et's do I
omething and talk less. What say
rou. Write us for publication.
Lambaste" our ideas, if you wish .
o to do. Let's have some from you. J '

Lockhart Junction. Feb. 10.?Isif
-ain the past week and Sunday wafe
i beautiful day. la
Farm- work has been at a standstill
for quite a while, except cutting an
getting up fire wood. 11
The public roads in many placlql
where they have been lately workcnL
and in the red land section, are pA
i,injr badly cut up on account of it)
much rainy weather and travel. I
The horrible crime committed ih
Jonesville last week has brouglht
ibout much* talk and excitement. This
should be a lesson to all. We hardl]i
know how to sympathize, but tHp
guilty party whoever he may bfe,
should be dealt with according to laW
and punished.
The teacher of the Gault School,
Miss Sallie Cunninirham. called the
patrons and children of this community
together last Sunday and organized
a Sunday School at this place.
There was 54 pupils enrolled. This
is a good begginning and it is hoped
that the school will be a success, as
few of the children are attending any
Sunday School at all.
Miss Cunningham has also organized
a Sunbeam Society among the
girls of her school.
Mr. T. B. Kelly has made some improvements
on his dwelling by building
a porch extending around his
house, which adds to the looks and
makes it much more convenient.
Mrs. T. M. Tweed and Mrs. W. W.
White visited Mrs. Maggie Carter
last week.
Mrs. Bessie Fowler visited Mrs.
Minnie Fowler last week, who has
been sick for several months.
Messrs. William Bishop and Ebb
Vaughan attended the Exposition last
week at Columbia.
Mr. R. C. Little has been using
a paint brush on his dwelling, which
adds to the good looks of his home.
He has also built a store room and is
selling goods.
News From Bethlehem.
Well, rain continues. The Lord
sends showers of blessings upon us
very often. The ground scarcely gets
dry enough to work until it begiils
to rain again. We hope for some
beautiful days so the out-doors work
won't be so far behind.
The farmers around here seem to
be interested in the Corn Show at
Columbia. A pood many from U\is
community went last week.
Among those who went were Messrs.
D. G. Gallman, J. N. Gallman,

Commends Corn Show
Editor Union Times?
Dear sir?Please allow me space in
your paper to say a few words concerning
the recent Corn Show held
in Columbia. I was indeed glad to
see so many Union county farmers
ind men of all other vocations attend
and take such an interest. It
is a matter of regret that all did not
avail themselves of this great and
rare opportunity. It was an education
for every one who took proper
interest. If farmers would attend
these fairs, conventions, etc., more
:rops rotation, more fertility of the
soil, more feed crops, more live stock,
nore and better home supplies would
ae the result.
