We feel very much gratified over
the splendid advertising patronage
we are receiving. We feel sure our
readers will do well to read carefully Sl
the splendid array of good offerings
as shown in our pages this week,
Read and be convinced.
o t;
We must congratulate the Colum- ^
bia Daily Record upon the splendid
edition gotten out April 8th. It con- S?
tained 64 pages, and was called the
"South Carolina Water Power Edi- al
tion." The edition makes one think ?
rr
of the Manufacturer's Record, and is ic
in k cl&ss with that excellent period
ical. The paper is tremendous in
size, excellent in mechanical get up, ^
and the articles are worth preserva- .
tion. It took some hustling to get out
that splendid edition.

THE MILITANT SUFFRAGISTS ir
The London women suffragists are
a mad lot of women. Their anar- n'
ir
chistic behavior will retard rather
than help the cause of woman suff- ^
rage. The wanton destruction of w
property, and the consequent utter s<
disregard for the law is a poor weap- **
on in the hands of man or woman. a
It does but show the women engaging Y'
in it to be unfit to exercise the fran- n?
chise. is
t Mrs. Carrie Nation, the prohibition- b<
ist and window smasher, did the cause
of prohibition bo real service. Her
zeal was not "according to knowledge";
and the same may justly be
said of the militant, window-smashing
suffragettes.

LET'S HAVE AN AGRICULTURAL
FAIR. E
t
We heartily commend the recom- w
dation of Mr. L. J. Browning to make m
the County Fair more of an agricultural
fair and less of a horse racing 18
affair. He advocates reducing the
racing purses and spending what
money we have in getting better re- m
t-C
suits in agricultural exhibits. That
such a course is common sense, witpi
ness the great agricultural fair held
m
in Columbia. There was no racing, ,
al
no tide shows, no frills, no tricks and
' rt
"shines," to gull an unsuspecting pub
lie. Yet, it was a great success.
We trust the professional horse- (j(
racing will be cut out entirely. If eA
owners of county raised horses wish jj(
to race, let them do so to their heart's ^
content; but the professional, let him jr
go elsewhere with his activities. Let's tl
. make the fair a real agricultural fair to
and not a carnival. The people of ai
Union county will then patronize it tr
better and the results will be far bet- di
ter, we honestly believe. w

ON THE WATER WAGON. qi
m
We feel confident that the Colum- ly
bia State has made no mistake in de- tl
ciding to discontinue the publication oc
of whiskey advertisements. There
re thousands of people who feel that
te influence of such advertisements
not conducive to the best good,
he State goes into thousands of
5mes and its influence is very great.
Te feel sure many of its subscribrs
will be gratified to know that no
ddtional whiskey advertisements
ill be contracted for by that paper.
For years The Times has been "on
le water wagon," having discontinue

km .Tn.orx.ji auvviuseiiicnis unaer
le rule of Mr. L. G. Young, more
ian fifteen years ago. It has, for
11 that time stood squarely against
ich business. We have no cause to
igret that attitude towards the whisey
traffic. We do not believe it helps
le people; we do not believe the
ioney that we might have made by
ich advertisements would have real'
enriched us.
O
HOOKWORM WAR.
The work being done in Union
junty to eradicate the hookworm
sease is the direct outcome of one of 1
Ir. Rockefeller's plans to help hulanity.
It is but one of his many
hilanthropic enterprises, but it
rings definitely to our attention the
jst good a man can do when he has
le means and is possessed of a Wilngness
to help humanity. Among
le multitude of efforts put forth by
lis great philanthropist to benefit
lankind, this work of hookworm
radication will occupy no mean place.
; is a great work. It's results will
2 far-reaching. It is going directly 1
? the root of the disease, and the reilts
are definite and effective.
We do not understand that Mr.
ockefeller desires to be heralded
> a savior of humanity. There seems
> be a shrinking from publicity on
le part of this tremendously rich
an. What we write will never be
:en by him. We feel sure he would
)t care a rap one way or another
aout it, But we are writing with a
lotive: We want every child in Un>n
county to come to Dr. Riser for
camination. It is a great opportuty.
The examination is free; the
eatment is free; the examination is
/ an expert. Seven hundred and
ore children have, during the four
eeks of Dr. Riser's stay in Union,
;en examined. We hope to see, durig
the next two weeks a climbing up
l numbers to seven thousand. Do
at fail to have your children examled.
It is no difficult matter. Onelird
of all those alreadv pxnminpH
ere found to be infected. So, you
;e, there is one chance out of three
mt your child has the disease. It is
duty you owe to yourself and to
our child to have this work done. Do
ot be guilty of criminal neglect. It
a crime to refuse light when it may
e had for the asking.

A FEARSOME TRAGEDY.
I
That affair in. Greenville Sunday 1
lorning is a fearsome tragedy, but it
no more than must be expected
hen burglary is being committed,
veryone sympathizes with the griefricken
father ?f the wayward son 1
ho was shot to death. But his laent
that he should have been noti2(1
of the suspicions against his son
not reasonable. If he .had been nofied
he would probably have made
warm for his informant; besides, a
ere suspicion is a dangerous thing
? be "handing out," as has been dolonstrated
time and time again. The
arty undertaking to give the inforation
would probably have been, for
1 time, under the fire of the father's
>8entment as well as that of the son;
id there would have been many to
ike up the cry of persecution. Nor
> we, as a matter of fact, fromth?
Maence Drought out, blame the pocemen
who fired the fatal shots,
rhen a man breaks into a building
i the dead hours of the night for
>e purpose of robbery, it is natural
i suppose that he comes armed for
ly emergency. When such an in- ,
-uder comes in with deadly weapon
rawn and goes ahead firing that
eapon, it is no time for words,
ool, sober thought is out of the ,
jestion. The officer must act and \
ust act at once. We most assured- i
attach no blame to the officers in <
lis case, if the testimony at the '
kroner's inquest can be relied upon. |
The whole truth is: The lawless (
? ?
must be taught respect for law. The
potential murderer, suddenly con*
fronted with the law's agent, and im?
mediately undertaking to become ah
actual murderer, must of necessity be
dealt with harshly. To be sure, one
cannot help feeling pity for the aged
father, as well as for the wayward
son, but that does not alter the case
one whit.

OWNING AN AUTOMOBILE.
It costs something to own and op- ^
erate an automobile. When one facet J 1
the figures it is hard to escape the
conclusion that such things are not
for the man of moderate means, - to
say nothing of the poor man. We
give below some deductions from figures,
and believe the figures tell the
truth. We have figured it out that it
is cheaper to own and live in a $5,000
house than it is to own and operate a
$1,000 automobile. Here are the figures:
Interest at 8 per cent per annum, $400
Taxes at 2 per cent per annum, 1001 "
Insurance, 1 per cent per annum . 50
Repairs at 2 per cent per annum 100
Cost per annum of any
$5000 house, $650
Cost of automobile, $1,000.00
Defeneration of machine, year $333.38
Cost of operation per month $25
Per year 300.00
Interest on $1,000 per annum 80.00
Cost of repairs per annum 100.00
g i
Cost per annum of owning and - ,
operating $1,000 automobile $813.38
Deduct cost of owning house 650.00
Leaves _ $163.38
Which in less than thirty years i
would pay for the house.
There may be objections to the
amount claimed for degeneration, but
it will not be by one who has had
experience. Those who have operated
one machine regularly for three years' 1
have found that there remained onljH 1
a scrap heap at the end of thtftf
time. It is plain to see that unles9i(P
man's earning capacity is greatly in*
creased by owning an automoble, or
unless he is a rich man, one cannot
I
afford the luxury. But perhaps we
lo not see all the problem. We mere- 1
ly give the results of our own reasoning,
not personal experience, upon,
he question.

STATE SUNDAY SCHOOL 1
CONVENTION AT SUMTER. !
i
(Continued from page 1) ]
resting on a center table, compel his J
boy to go to Sunday School. He will
not be a boy always, and when he is 1
a man very frequently he sits in the
same chair in the same manner. How ]
often we see men come and stand outside
of the church with his hands in 1
his pockets, waiting until Sunday 1
School is over to attend the church '
service more as a habit than duty, j
Do we wonder when the child putd on ;
his first garment with pockets that I
he tells mother, "I guess I can stand *
outside and wait until Sunday School
is over." Oh, men, your place is in
the Sunday School, if not for other .
purpose than for your influence. And
our good women, how often they dress ^
their sweet little girl and tell her "to ,
run along darling, mother will come ,
to church service," or " mother cannot
come today, she is tired." That
sweet litttle darling will be a woman
some day. Will she then do as her i
mother or not? Perhaps you have I
not thought of it in that way, if not I
why not?
Men and wome"?, let us appeal t*??j
you to return to that little Sunday .
School room, perhaps the one you so
often went to as a child and help
your pastor, your superintendent,
your teachers, your church, your community,
your State. Remember our
future citizenship is at stake. Remember
our boys and girls will soon
be men and women, and if we fail to
do so, can we blame them. Make
your Sunday School interesting, make
it an institute worthy of its cause.
Gradually adopt methods that will
be benificial and establish a sytscm fl
that will strenghten your school, and
do your work with a thoroughness
that will brin^f your school to a high
standard. i
Superintendents, train yourselves.
Teachers, train yourselves. Leaders,
take the lead. These things you can
do. Others have done it why not (
you? You may say "How". Get in
communication with your denominational
board. They will gladly furnish
you all information free. We
hope for Union County a new life,
a new interest in Sunday Schools,
and we want Union to lead. Will stye
lo it?

DANGEROUS CALOMEL
GOING OUT OF USE.
A Safer, More Reliable Remedy Has
Taken Its Place in the Drug
Store and in the Home.
A few years ago, men, women and
children took calomel for a sluggish
liver and for constipation. They
took risks when they did so, for calomel
is a dangerous drug. Your family
doctor will be the first to tell you
this if he discovers you dosing yourself
with calomel.
But the drug trade has found a
safer, more pleasant remedy than calomel
in Dodson's Liver Tone.
The Rice Drug Co., tells us that
their drug store sells Dodson's Liver
Tone in practically every case of biliousness
and liver trouble where calomel
used to be taken.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a vegetable
liver tonic that is absolutely harmless
for children and grown people. It
Sells for 60c a bottle and is guaranteed
to be entirely satisfactory by
the Rice Drug Co, who will refund
rour monev with a smile if it does not
give quickj gentle relief without any
of calomel's unpleasant after-effects.
