Aprain we come out with a lt>-pap:e
paper. It is a sort of habit we are
jrettinp: into, and it pives our readers
their full money's worth. The generous
response our subscribers are making
to our appeal for renewals is responsible
for this advanced movement.
The subscriber who pays promptly
for his paper is helping us to make
improvements. It is astonishing how
these small amounts tret together and
make a bip sum of money. If every
subscriber now in arrears would pay
up one year in advance there is no
telintr what kind of a forward move
we could make. Kind reader, look at
your little yellow label and see if you
should not semi us a dollar.
LET THE FORCE HAVE AUTO.
We understand*!, ttyat there is ? s
? movement* on foot to *iiurcnase a patrol
motor car for the city of Union.
ti,? :,i?? :? 1 t-u

would not cost much; its operation
would cost but little; the saving of
hack hire so often necessary in making
arrests and, best of all, prompt
results when making arrests are some
of the advantages. We have no axe
to grind in this matter. We have nc
old or new car to sell. We do not
get a copper cent on any automobile
sold in the State of South Carolina
Hut the idea is a good one. We
cheerfully give it our support. It if
worth of consideration on the part of
the city authorities. I.et the police
force have a car?it will help them
to do better service; and it will not
hurt in any direction.
WHO SAID ABOLISH CAMPAIGN?
Who said abolish the county-to
cuuni-y anyway : oome
crazy Zekc who knew not whai
he said, perhaps. Let the people heai
the candidates. Let the candidates
speak and speak and speak. If yoi
do not care to hear, you have the un
questioned privilege of staying at
home. There are those who do desin
to hear. Besides, do not the candi
dates pay the costs? Are they noi
assessed, and that heavily, for this
same county-to-county campaign"!
Let no one grudge them a minute o!
the time so dearly purchased. If yoi
do not care to hear, you can staj
away.
And the same may be said for th<
campaign caried on in each countj
from township to township. It is tru<
that it is hard on the candidate?phy
sieally and financially; hut if he car
stand it, the rest of us should not oh
ject.
SPEAK OUT, MR. CANDIDATE.
We do not claim that we originatee
the idea, hut here it is: We will give
space to any Union county candidate
to give his views, express his platform,
say whatever he desires to sa>
upon general ann particular questions
This we will publish free, allowing
each one from a half to a whole column
to ^et his views before the people.
The only restriction we put upon
each one is that he confine himsell
to issues and leave out personal attacks.
So, Mr. Candidate, write youi
views, prive us your platform; let the
people know where you stand. We will
put your views before the people of
this county more thoroughly than you
will have opportunity to do in the
campaign this summer. We f?ot this
idea from The Columbia State. That
paper has made a similar proposiv...
i > the State candidates. We make
it to every Union and Union county
candidate. This is an honest effort
to give each candidate an opportunity
to reach all the people. Let us have
>nr expression. We will gladly publish
it free.
THE PRESIDENT IS RIGHT.
In our humble judgment President
Wilson is right in the position he has
taken and so ably defended on the
question of repealing the tolls exemption
clause of the Panama ?canal act.
It is true that the party platform
adopted at Baltimore stood for such
exemption. It is equally true that
the Baltimore platform stood squarely
against special privilege bf all
kinds. The two ideas are not capable
of being made to fit in one platform,
and this republican plank that by
> some hook or crook got into the democratic
platform had no business
there. Why should ships owned by
private parties or corporations doing
business for their own gain be allow?'l
r?n f V?*?miorh frpp? Tf the POV
VV1 l-v F,V H.'VUfS-- - CI crnment
owned the ships there might
be some justice in the claims for exemption.
As it appears to us, the
people have nothing to fear from the
fact that American ships as well as
all other ships must go through on
the same regulations.
President Wilson has again shown
himself worthy of the high honor
placed upon him by the American people.
He is a wise statesman, and a
continual pozzle to demagogues and
crooks: he is zealous for the triumph
of right falters not in the day of
trial.
tViese silos are good ones.
Concrete and Cement Structures Are
As Lasting as Any.
i Clemson College, March 31.?R. H.
Mason, dairy expert of the United
States Department of Agriculture
in cooperation with Clemson College,
has received an anonymous circular
which has apparently been distributed
' in this State, showing pictures of
i the circular apparently being to in,
fluence the mind of the reader against
. concrete and cement silos which have
| broken down or cracked, the idea of
i these two forms of silos.
I Mr. Mason states that he recom
,1 mends cement and concrete as ma
terial for silos and that when properly
constructed such silos are as serviceable
and lasting as any type. It.
fact, he said, conditions in some
parts of South' Carolina make this
the very best type of silo for farmers.
"We wish," said Mr. Mason,
"to remove any impression to the
contrary that this circular may havs
t created in the minds of South Carolina
farmers."
Clemson College will at any time
be glad to assist any farmer who has
; the material to construct a silo,
' structure. Further information may
be obtained by addressing Mr. Mason
at Clemson College.
So strong has been the demand
> for cwpies of Circular No. 10 of tli*
, South Carolina Experiment Station,
( "Home Mixing of Fertilizers," by J.
i Coke Rampley, of the fertilizer dc'jpartment
of Clemson College, that
' a new edition of the circular has been
, printed. It contains numerous for,
mulas for the home mixing of fei
. tiiizers with full directions which
! any farmer can follow. The demamf
for this publication is taken as at.
' indication that South Carolina f.-ivm.
i ers intend mixing more of their fertilizer
at home than ever before.
I Copies of this circular can he obtained
free of charge upon application
to Clemson College.
Wants Correct Roll.
Editor Union Times:
Allow me to say to your readers
that errors in the proper names given
in Maj. Steedman's diary are due to
r the fact that in old-fashioned script
? the capital letters "I" and ".J" are
1 identical. We wish to make a per.
fectly correct Roster and shall be glad
to receive correct tons.
I am sending you some selection.
1 from letters received too late for the
" issue of March 19 and ask that you
t will give them to the public,
j I also wish to say that at the resi
> dence of Dr. Dogan in January, 186.->,
p Maj. Steedman was examined, baptized
and received into the commun1
ion of the Presbyterian church by
' Rev. A. A. James and Elders C. Gage
and Wm. Perry.
; On Jan. 31 he received his first
f communion in Dr. Dogan's parlor ar>
has been stated.
' Rev. A. A. James was chaplain of
the 18th Reg. S. C. V.. and pastor
l of Fair Forrest and Salem churches
. during tne entire lour years of the
war. He came home twice each year
to hold his communion services. The
Presbyterians of Union were withoin
a pastor and "Father James" held the
communion service for them in May,
1863. The church was situated in the
' "Village Cemetery" and very slowly
J and painfully Maj. Steedman made
> his way on his crutches from Dr. Do.
gan's residence to the church. After
the service* Mrs. Wm. Keenan took
him in her carriage to her home to
dine with Mr. and Mrs. James. In
those days the Keenan home, now
the residence of T .C. Duncan, wa."
one of the 'show places" of the upcountry.

HOUSE PASSES REPEAL BILL
IN SPITE OF CLARK'S APPEAL
(Continued from page l).
Signal for Cheers.
This was signal for the opponent'
of repeal to onen their strongest hat
teries of applause and the chamhei
for several moments rang with t Ik
din of cheers and shouts.
Holding the interest to the end, th<
speaker remained a commanding fie

Speaker Clark had finished. lb
had defended his position; praised th<
president whom he opposed; expresed
admiration of his colleagues fron
whom he differed on this question;
chided those who had assailed hin:
and sugar-coated instead of tan-im
the situation. As he walked from hipU

tee of the house for seven years. The
'ihcuse was in an uproar and Representative
Underwood had difficulty in
restoring order.
Later Speaker Clark resumed the
chair and strenuously sought for order,
but although Representative
Adamson spoke for about half an
I hour the house was in such disorder
: that little of his speech was heard.
When he concluded Representative
1 Adamson called for a vote. A hush
! swept the crowded floor and the
] packed galleries as Speaker Clark announced
a vote on the "third reading
and engrossment of the bill."
Republican Leader Mann demanded
i a roll call, and the first record vote
I on the bill was forced on a preliminary
legislative stage. The administration's
strength made its appear;
ance, however, and the bill was adj
vanced through the third reading bj
' a vote of 247 to H50.
The Next Move,
i A sound of cheers and applause
f greeted the announcement ~bf this
r vote and scarcely had it subsided when
I Representative O'Shaughnessy ol
1 Rhode Island presented the motion
to recommit the bill, prepared by a
r conference of leaders opposed to the
. measure. It read:
"I move to recommit the bill H. R
14385 to the committee on interstate
and foreign commerce with directions
to that committee to report said bii1
back to the house forthwith with the
following amendment:
"Strike out all of section two and

i providing for the construction of the

On this motion with its reservations
; of the right of the United States to
control the Panama canal zone, the
I anti-repeal forces polled their largest
t vote. The motion was defeated. 232
to 176. The Democratic leaders,
Speaker Clark and Representative Un
derwood, carried 61 of their Demo
cratic colleagues with them on this
' vote. All but 13 of the Republicans
voted for the motion and two Progressives
stood with the anti-repeal
. forces.
This defeat marked the last rally of
the anti-repeal forces. The last roll
call was on the final passage of the
bill. It was given with the house in
disorder and general confusion preva,
lent. As announced by the speaker
the result was: Ayes, 248; nays, 162.
But a recapitulation of the vote
. showed: Ayes, 247; nays, 161.
, On this vote 220 Democrats ann
swered the personal plea of President
? Wilson. With them were 25 Republicans
and two Progressives. With
I Speaker Clark and Leader Uunderwood,-52
Democrats voted aganist the

sives, making up the 161 negative
i vote.
