It now seems probable that the breach between (Jeneral Villa and General Caranza is widening. The elimination of General Huerta leaves the two constitutionalist leaders in Mexico free to attend to each other. It may be a long way to peace and stable government in our sister republic. It might have been wiser if Mr. Norwood had refrained from ques: n T~?i n- - ^ nuning vjuvurnur uiease ai me cireenville meeting. But no one can question the right of a hearer to question an aspirant to political honors. The Governor, going the rounds of his campaign surrounded by paid detectives, has been entirely too free with his abusive language. If the hearer is to be refused a hearing, then v. speaker should be made to confine his language to decency and at least the semblance of courtesy. "Liar," "coward," and a number of other words are being all to freely handed out by Governor Blease. There seems to be considerable con. fusion in the minds of some people upon the question of property rights. There is also a great deal of confusion upon the question of personal liberty. It is just in this confusion that the moftt nf tVlf* Hiffovnn/'no Kofurnnn nnni. .... ......... ......... .Mp." tal and labor arise. A certain agitator is said to have said in an address to mill workers in a certain locality in this State: "That mill is yours; you made it; you produce the goods; tak? it; it belongs to you." Following up this line of argument the time may come when the steady, industrious farmer, riding in his rubber tire buggy will be hailed by the cropper on his place in the following startling language: .'.'Say, you, that rubber tire buggy is mine; I made it by digging in the ground; get out of it and give it over to me; it belongs to me." If our people are to be a prosperous people, there must be respect for property rights. If there is no premium upon thrift, industry, economy and human effort, then there can be no real advancement. On the other hand, the man who toils must have a square deal, he must be given the honest reward of his honest effort. He must be protected in his rights and must be rewarded that he can arise to a position of independance and comfort. There is no denying the fact that conditions are too severe, that the man who start-, at the bottom of the ladder has too strenuous a climb; that modern civili zauon urines too severe a test to the individual who determines to rise to a position of well being from the depths of poverty. There needs to be an adjustment at both ends of this problem. Can There Ik* a Righteous Lynching? Editor Union Times?Dear Sir: In your paper last week Telephone, your Jonesville correspondent, mentions .1 righteous lynching. Can lawlessness be righteous? Can murder be righteous? The crime committed by th" negro woman was a very grave crime. No one deplores such things more than I do; and no one can sympathize too deeply with the relatives of th" murdered little girl, but does the commission of a crime by an ignorant negro woman justify an intelligent white community in the commission of another crime? Is lawlessness righteous? Is murder righteous'' J. A. Cook. Jonesville, S. C., July 18, 1914. Paper money is soft, but hard to get. * JONESVILLE Jonesville, July 21.?1 attended Children's Day exercises at New Hope Sunday and I found a large crowd, about five hundred from all over the county. The program was beautiful and well rendered. J. W. Scott, superintendent of the Sunday school, made the opening address and Rev. J. A. Cook made the closing address, both of which were good, sound, sensible talks. After the exercises in the house the congregation repaired to the grove where a long table was filled with all sorts of good things to suit any taste and everybody partook of the bountiful dinner and there was enough for all present and then there was a large barrel of ice water near the table, with a dozen dippers which made the menu complete. Well, when I looked around in the church and saw the fine piano, the decorations and other fine furnishings, my mind ran back, yes, way back to the time when the sainted James H. Gossett, Charles W. Scott, Aunt Jemima Scott and others worshipped in the old time .?i ? _i 1 ir? ? viiuiv.ii u1ivi vvllill cl L'liall^t;: ICS, \VU are living in a great day of progress and opportunities; the boys and girls have to make great men and women. The New Hope community has some well accomplished young women and young men and they are forging to the front. They are the equal of any young folk in the town or country, they don't need compulsory education laws, they have three schools in the neighborhood and they are all well attended by the children of the community. According to announcement, the candidates for Congress in this district. Messrs. Johnson, Duncan an 1 Nichols, spoke here this morning. The speaking was held in the grade:! school auditorium, the crowd numbering about two hundred, with a few ladies. The meeting was as quiet and I orderly as a church meeting. The three candidates were given respectful hearings and all the time he wanted. After the meeting the candidatetook time for a hurried lunch and left for Kelton where they had an engagement for the evening. The weather man promises no rain this week and if we have no rain durthe week early corn will be a failure Ill llicnc |[Jcll 1.1. Messrs Forest and Jay Spears started from here to Cherokee, Ga., on their motorcycles last Sunday, a distance of 210 miles which they expected to make in a day's run. Mr. William Blackwell and Miss Bertie Ivy were married by W. H. S. Harris, notary public, last Friday. They have youth and good looks to begin life's journey together. Mrs. Carrie Reams of Bishopville is visiting her father, Mr. J. F. Alman. Mrs. W. R. Hoyt of Johnston is visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Foster. Mr. Coleman Fowler is a big watermelon raiser. He has already brought several loads of fine melons to town. Ensign - Haddon Geer, after spending a month in this country, has returned to his"post of duty, by way of San Francisco and thence to Manilla. He expects to be away this time about two years. Telephone. NEW "HOPE New Hope, July 21.?As we prophesied New Hope's Children's Day was unexcel'ed I v any. There were present between 00b and 700 people, 1l*e ehtii "di v as ab)it three t'.nes full There were people from Spartanburg, and Chex'okee counties. It was a fine day and everyone acted a perfect gentleman. The table was 100 feet long and the good things to eat were just piled up. Everyone enjoyed the day meeting old acquaintances, and were benefitted by the services and the singing by a selected choir. Prof. Robt. Cook added greatly to the music with his cornet. Everyone praised the occasion. The following is the program: Song, "Building, Daily Building." I processional.) Prayer by Rev. J. A. Cook, pastor. Sons, "Sing Away." Recitation: "When We Grow Big." Trio: "Beyond the Shining Gates of Gold." Floral chorus by twelve girls. "Co-laborers," by boys. Solo: "Star of the East. Dialogue by two little girls, "What Wouid You Do?" Offering, during which the double quartette sangl "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere." Closing song: "God Be With You 'Till We Meet Again." Address by pastor. Recessional: "In the Sweet, Bye and Bye," Prof. Cook, cornet, and Miss Alleen Bishop, piano. Mr. John Pickens and wife of Whiw. Stone were here Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Gore and family praised our Children's Day exercises. Mr. Editor, our day would have been complete had you been with us? we really expected you. There were three of your scribes on hand, and presume with all, you may get a full report as you could not attend. We had our first mess of string! beans for the year today. How is that for late? There were several of the Duck Pond folk with us Sunday, also a good many from the West Springs section, some old friends from Bethlehem. Mrs. Clamantha Sprouse and daughter of Union were with us at NewHope Sunday. Those who did not corne, sure did miss a great day. The children did credit to themselves and Sunday school. The pastor's address was an eloquent plea for Christianity and education. The leader Miss Alleen Bishop, deserves a lot of praise for her untiring work in training the little ones. Mr. B. W. Whitloek was generous enough to loan his piano and returning it home, it fell from the wagon and was considerably damaged. The congregation promised they would return it in as good fix as they received it and they are going to b* as good as their word. Miss Sallie Whitloek was considerably grieved over the accident, as she will be without any musical instrument until the piano is fixed. Miss Allie Whitloek who is training for a nurse at Spartanburg was here Sunday. Mr. James Whitlock and family are camping at West Springs. Miss Edna Becknell visited her brother at Buffalo last week. Mr. Carson Davis of Monarch was shaking hands with his old school friends here Sunday. There will be a barbecue and picnic in the grove of the home of Mr. Jeff D. Brown on Wednesday of this week in honor of his mother, Mrs. Mary Brown, which will be her eightieth birthday. Mrs. Brown is still lively and strong for one of her age. having endured the hardships of the war and after. She has lived to see grown, several children and now has a large number of grand children and a few great grand children. Mr. Anderson Brown of Union being her eldest su.. We honor old age, it is great to live to be old and such a sweet life as this one has lived?a friend, a neighbor, a sympathetic nurse with the sick and afflicted, and above all, a Godly woman. We trust that she may live to see many more such dayS as this birthday and that she may have that long desired pleasure of hers being to see all those that are near and dear to her, living the life that she has lived?a beautiful Christian life. May God greatly bless her and keep her in good health for many, many years to work for His kingdom. Smike. CROSS* KEYS Cross Keys, July 20.?The weather continues dry. Cotton is not suffering for rain, but upland corn is needing rain badly. Farmers are trying to finish their plowing this month, hut there will be a short recess next Thursday on account of the un?on picnic at our place. The Masons, Junior Order and Woodmen are expecting to pull off rather an elaborate dinner. The public is invited but with the understanding that they bring large w ell filled baskets. I failed to mention the death of Miss Georgiana Hollingsworth whicn occurred two weeks ago; it was an oversight of your correspondent. She had been a great sufferer for some time. Dropsy was the direct cause. Mr. Wiley Lawson, who lives near Belmont church has been having a great deal of sickness in his home; it seems that measles cot into his home and three of his children suffered relapse, pneumonia set in, and he buried a bright boy only a few days ago and on last Saturday buried a daughter about 16 years old and still has another lying at the point of death. Mr. Lawson has the sympathy of the entire community; he is almost prostrated with grief. He has lost part of his crop from lack of work and unless relief comes very soon he will likely lose more. t.ro- ? ? :? - >- - n?ii u i (i I I I I 1 \ 1CUII1UII ai me home of Mr. C. B. Bobo on yesterday. His birthday is today but for the convenience of the family it was celebrated yesterday. A bountiful feast of good things to eat was spread and if we are to draw conclusions from appearances, all the children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, about fifty odd, did ample justice to the occasion. After dinner the neigh- , bors came in and our pastor conducted a short but very appropriate service speaking from the life of Moses. ] A series of meetings will begin at Padgett's Creek on next first Sunm-.y, the pastor will be assisted by his ' brother, Rev. N. R. Pittman, who is spending his vacation here. Brother < Pittman is pastor of a strong church in Missouri. The morning service on August 4 which will be on Tuesday 1 will be called ofT on account of the county campaign meeting at Cross Keys or. that day, but there will be services at night. On Saturday last at the conference 1 meeting of the Padgett's Creek church, July 28, which will be on ' Tuesday after the fourth Sunday, was set apart for clearing off the city ot the dead at that place. All persons ' I who have friends buried there are [hereby notified to come and help or ' send a contribution to one of the committee to superintend the work. Com- 1 mittee, W. M. Sparks, W. N. Bobo ' and J. W. Humphries, j Messrs Broadus Williams and Simpson Sparks of Union attended ' the preaching services at Padgett'.; Creek yesterday and spent the after- 1 noon with W .M. Sparks, and Misses ! Lael and Clara Sparks. Miss Beatrice Prince, who was awarded first prize for the best tomato natch and wn < irivon a f"? 1 Winthrop college, returned last Friday. There was a special program { arranged in the summer school for the tomato club girls. She was per- ( fectly delighted with her trip. Correspondent. lockhart" junction Lockhart Junction, July 20.?The recreation time has come now for the f'irmer and everyone is planning for a * ood time, and in a way we should < all enjoy a little fun. What is life without a little pleasure? Life is just what we make it. What would be the use of a bank full of money unless it could be used for the benefit of humanity. So let us all seek to have or make a little pleasure for ourselves as well as others. A large chowd gathered at New Hope church yesterday to attend the Children's Day service. The program was short and very good. The music furnished by the young people was fine. There were people present from all over the county and adjoining counties. Spartanburg and Cherokee tv . nr|MCTciitcu uiiu me crowd garnered was estimated at four or five hundred. A large table was spread of everything good to eht and the people had plenty .and spent a social together. The writer enjoyed just such a pit nic in Chester last Friday, and met many Union people, some of them making their homes there. Among them was Mr. Frank Wood, Messrs. Mack and John Page, both Union county men now living in Chester. I met Mr. and Mrs. Simpson and fan. ily who lived in this section last year Mr. Simpson has bought a farm and he reads The Union Times. I find The Union Times in many homes in other counties as I go along. | THE INTRODUCTORY SALE| IIS GOING ON NOW AT THE FAIR Don't miss the opportunity to visit this Great Sale, We have > plenty of Special Bargains, also many sales during the hour.
