"And you can't help yourself."?the people have spoken. "Everything is all right." If you have a registration certificate dated on or after July 1. 1908, you may vote in the general election. If your ceitideate is dated prior to that time you cannot vote. We feel deeply gratified over tlie fact that Main street is to be put in first class condition and at once. Mayor Wharton says work is to start up at once, and will be put through as rapidly] as possible. The Bradley-Estes company bought one bale of cotton Wednesday. They were the first to put into execution the "buy a bale" program. Every merchant and business man in Un ion will help if he will "buy a bale." (let busy, all ye men of progress, and of enterprise. "Buy a bale," be quick. The self constituted prophet often turns out to be a poor guesser, but we hazard the prediction that (lermanv will whip out Europe and then slowly England, Russia, France and perhaps several other nations will gather themselves together and whip Germany. It will take several years for all this to take place. Governor Blease says that the election was stolen from him. That is manifestly not true. He further -ays he could, if he hart money, contest the election. We wish to know what has become of the perfect organization the Governor boasted on the stump throughout the whole latter half of his campaign? The truth of it is. the people are tired of the abuse, the effrontery and the wholesale charges so often made 1>V Govprrwii* I'.lon^o President Wilson is after tin dealers who are arbitrarily raising the price of food stuffs. It is said that a prison sentence o !1 be insisted upon in ca-v of conviction. We believe any mar who will take advantage of the crying need of people in a critical time should bo put behine bars. They are utterly consciousless and would stop short of no atrocity is they saw in il the filling of their pockets with gold. Let s Kill It. The Union county dispensary is an institution of which we should feel ashamed. Locatec as we are with Spartanburg, Laurens, Chester, Newberry Fairfield counties touching oui borders and every one of thes< neighboring counties having m dispensaries. Union county is in the unenviable position of be- J ing the source of pollution for these counties. "Love worketh J no ill to one's neighbor," and it < is a certain fact this great principle should cause us to ponder i well our present status. We \ are the one ugly spot in the een- j tre of this tier of counties, and ^ we should be ashamed of ii. 1 The very argument the friends ' of the dispensary advance in * favor of the dispensary is ; enough to damn it, namely, that it brings money to Union from i these outside communities. This one thing should cause us to pause. To be the source of contamination is an unenviable position. and that's a fact. Lets k* 11 the thing and join in with our sister counties. Thanks, Kind Friends! The Times wishes to thank 1 1 - i*..: 1 ...u.. K..I? uiiLii ciim t-\ ci v n it-mi wiiu nt-ipv'd lis to get the election returns throughout the county Tuesday. Never in the nine years that the paper has been under its pres ent management have we been so well served. By six o'clock Tuesday we had every box in the county and the result placed upon our bulletin board. Black Rock, sent in by our good friend, W. T. Nelson. lie had to get the count at Black Rock, ride five miles to Whitmire and telegraph us the results. His report was on our bulletin before six o'clock. The next to the last precinct to get in was Coleraine. A good friend had to ride from Coleraine to West Springs and thence our ever faithful Thos. J. West sent us the returns. This report reached us here before 5:30 o'clock. All others got in so fast we could hardly get them on the bulletin. Meador sent in by S. L. Crosby got in 15 mirI 11,. -1 1 uic>i ditci LIIV: pun?> ClurstJU. To one and all our friends, jwho so splendidly aided us, we feel deeply grateful. It was the quickest work ever done by any newspaper in Union county, we feel sure. We desire to express sincere ttuinks to the telephone people for giving us an extra telephone .and to Mr. Willis, Western Union operator, for the splendid service rendered us. A newspaper is fortunate indeed when it has loyal and sincere friends. The Times is particularly blessed in that respect. Just as fast as the returns came in we sent out reports to Jonesville, Lockhart, Kelton, lAdamsburg, Carlisle, Santuc, West Springs, and in fact, evJery nook and corner of the county where a telephone line exls:jod. We did not get out an extra ''-)) the reason that we felt sure j everybody in Union county I know just how things had gone. JONESVILLE .loncsville, Sept. K?The hifh school ' opened its doors yesterday mornine for the fall session with about two hundred scholars. Quite a number of parents and others attended the opening Mr. J. M. (lault, trustee and secretary of the board, made the address for the board. Prof. R. (). Sams made the address for the school and Revs, VV. S. Porter and J. A. Cook made addresses. The teachers consist of six ladies, while Miss Frances I licks teaches for Wallace mills and Mis? Anna Hames has a private school ii her home and then the colored schoo just at the corporate line will roll uf about two hundred together there wil . be at least four hundred pupils, about . one-half white and the other colored This report doesn't seem like there is 1 much need for compulsory ducatior in Jonesville, but it is a fact thai there are a food many children thai - are not in school. I The second nrimarv is on today ant it is very quiet with the voters. Last Tuesday on Sullivan's Island . Mr. Wade Hampton Patre and Miss Holman were married. The newlj . married couple returned to Jonesvilh ( and are at home to their friends oui at Mr. Pace's nice country home three miles from Jonesville. Mrs Page is from Oranpreburtr hut was stopping for the time with her sister Mrs. Sam Panner on Sullivan's Is r land. Mrs. Lizzie Frost died at her ho ni <n Spartanburg last Friday and th< 1 remains were buried here at Gilea< | Saturday. Mrs. Frost was Miss Liz j zie Coleman, who lived with her unch , ; R. I). Coleman, when he was killed a 1 his home near Jonesville last year. Mrs. W. B. May and son, Bob. Mrs .? P. H. Jeter, J. K. Nance and Evelyi | Jeter all spent the week-end witl | Mrs. Geo. C. Wood. Mrs. Hattie McWhirter and daughter, Miss Elizabeth, returned from Buffalo Lithia springs last week. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hames of n tiaffney spent Sunday in Jonesville h tnd attended services at the Metho- h list church. ' ' n Mr. B. Bishop of Inman with his t A-ife and married daughter, and little ^ granddaughter attended services at the Methodist church here Sunday, a Mr. Bishop was the master builder of i; the new church. 0 The great fine city of Paris is about > to fall into the hands of the Germans. pp What will become of the slit skirt ], now? It will lose its centre and place t jf origin. The new Methodist church here j; a-us opened for service last Sunday, r The pastor preached a short and ap- r propriate sermon at 12 o'clock noun, a after which he administered the sa~- ? ranient of the Lord's supper t ? 'i \ lai'gt number of communicants. The c hr.rch was well filled with i from the town and country un 1 sure a fionr a distance. The pastor p?v:jcii- c .?d again on Sunday evening to a l large congregation. The main audi- t tnriuni of the church will * oca i . ""ii ( three hundred persons and th< Sun- * day school room will seat about two hundred more. The Sunday school j room is partitioned by rolling doors, j. The church was commenced the 'irst j of March; the building committee ( with the faithful and constant ser- ^ vices of the pastor hired the labor and built the church without contract t to the saving of at least two thousand I) dollars. The master builder, Mr. bud \ bishop, of Inman, S. C.. with the as- i sistance of the pastor drew the plan , and made the blue print. The walls < are brick veneer walls with a six inch j wooden wall inside which makes it strong and safe and much cheaper than a full brick wall. The old church building was joined to the new one i and made into a Sunday school room. There is also a basement under the main building which will be used for the primary department of the Sunday school. The Methodists of Jonesville are very thankful to all who have contributed to the building of the church. _ Telephone. OAKLAND Oakland, Sept. 9.?As I never see a letter in your valuable jcolumns : from our neighborhood, will you ! please allow me this privilege. Al- 1 though it be not as interesting as if i it were from the pen of your older i correspondents, but nevertheless it ' shows our desire to be represented < along with the other communities of ' our county.

A I1C WOttVIIPI UWO been very favorable for the past two weeks and if it continues they will < soon rid their stubble of its hay and 1 ^et it in condition for sowing oats 1 and other small grain. I'm $ure this line of farming should have the great- ' est attention this fall than aver be- 1 fore, for if we can realize fuUy what * the present prices of food stu| means 1 to us, what will be the con Jt?n of I' prices with these same conA>ditie8'' next spring and summer? To.^e the present price of cotton aid alab the < crisis of the war into wnsideration, * why then should we ha.e a miscon- < ception of what 1915 will bring upon 1 the whole world? Probably the great- s est problem confronting the South to- 1 day is what plans can and must be ex- . ecuted to advance the price of the 1914 cotton crop. but. as yet I have not seen any definite plans which will favourably meet the conditions of the whole people. Rev. D. W. Garvin filled his regular appointment at Duck Pond church Sunday afternoon at .'1:30 o'clock and delivered a very forcible sermon to the congregation which was enjoyed by all. Mr. Perrin West and Misses Hallie and Vera Farmer of West Springs spent the week-end at the home of Mr. and Mrs. O. B. Heine. Mr. and Mrs. Tommy Black and family of Jonesville spent Sunday at the home of Mr. W. A. F. Black. Mr. and Mrs. B. Miller visited Mr. T. P.

I hing that if nothing of a serious naure happens we will settle down and 2t the telephone exchanges rest for while. There is some interest manfested in the election, while some of ur people preferred Cooper to either tanning or Richards, yet when the ?eople speak in the second primary, et it go as it will, most of us will ake our medicine without a murmur. The price of cotton is a matter that s being discussed rather freely just iow and unless there can be some >lan of relief found both merchants ind farmers will be hard pressed. >ome of our thinking people are ad'ocating as one plan of relief the losing up of all ginneries for a perod of at least thirty days and keep ill cotton off the market till October ?r longer if necessary. There is one lopeful sign?that is the situation is i serious one, and all parties coneern d are willing to co-operate to put ;ome plan in force that will relieve us. There will be a series of meetings it Cross Keys school house after the second Sunday, conducted by Rev. W. \. Lamar. The public generally is ordially invited to attend these set rices. Prof. II. C. Wilburn, principal of he Cross Keys high school, was marked last Wednesday evening, Septemjer 2, to Miss Ara L. Stacy of Gaff- ! ley. They will occupy the cottage commonly known as the "Dr. Poole cottage," which has been repaired and improved. Rev. A. McA. Pittman filled his appointment at Padgetts Creek church yesterday. Rev. W. A. Lamar preached at Cross Keys school house yesterday afternoon. The Sunday school at Ejjoree was reorganized yesterday. Correspondent. List of Advertised Letters. S. W. Bowman, Tom Bruse, A. B.

Mr. Dock Owen, a Confederate veteran who used to live in Anderson but who now lives in Greenwood, tells this one. It may be old but it is good: When the city of Columbia was surned, Mr. Owen says, some of the people there appealed for assistance .o a Methodist minister in Chicago, wvhom they knew very well. The minister sent them sixteen thousand dollars in Confederate. A few years later the city of Chicago was burned, and the people of Columbia, Mr. Owen says, sent a bale >f hay for the cow that kicked over .he lamp that started the fire that destroyed the city of Chicago.?Daily Mail.
