Have you bought your new fall hat ? Come to the Union County Fair, October 21-22-23. Union county farmers are not disposed to sell cotton. They are hauling both cotton and seed home after ginning. Mr. F. \Y. Carnell, county farm demonstrator, says the farmers of Union county have ordered through I him something like f.f.dOb pounds ot clover seed and 7,000 pounds of vet eh. To this should he added 1">() bushels of rye. This suply of seed has come through Mr. Camel! alone, and does not include what has been ordered through the merchant or by the farmer on his own account. It it far in advance of any one year's showing heretofore, and tells its own story. The farmers of Union county are awakening'. The farm lands of Union county will, in a short while, show marked improvement. We are just awakening. The great advance is to be seen in the next few years. Clemson college has sent out a bulletin urging farmers to plant as large an acreage in oats as possible. Mr. C'arnell is also urging a like proposition. Me also urges that evry farmer sow some wheat as well as all the oats he can. In ten years from today a man journeying through Union county will see a vastly different country from that now to lie seen. We predict that a journey from Carlisle to .lonesville a decade from now will reveal hundreds and hundreds of acres planted in peach trees; field after field of clover, vetch and other nitrogenous plants, fat hogs, sleek cattle and in every way a more attractive condition. The red hills and gullies will not lie seen. Green fields and rich harvest- will hide the now bare hills See if we are not correct, all ye leaders. 1'SK ( OTTON CLOTH. * Tlffi v inrtrr. . t fxr l.f Tom.occo, firm to Fant I < roth or s company hen that th<- shipper- he encouraged ti use cotton wraping wrapping foi shipping purposes is a good one. Th* same idea might be carried further We might use cotton underwear in stead of woollen. It is more com fortable and, for most people mon healthful. In fact, the general use 01 cotton goods could be carried muc! further than it it carried usually. The "buy-a-bale" movement is ir the right direction. It should go stil further and include the "buy-a-bolt' movement. The merchant can helj the farmer by buying a bale. Th< farmer can help the merchant by buy ing a bolt. There is not a farmer n Union county who could not find goot use for a bolt of yellow homespun ant a bolt of bleaching. Such a purchast on the part of the public would emptj every store in Union county of its cot ton goods. It could be carried a bil further. Socks, handkerchiefs, calicc all kinds of cotton goods necessarj could be purchased by the farmer ant r>y inc wage earner and mey would ir turn he helping themselves as well af helping the merchants. Anyway, wc live by cooperation. What helps ont helps all; what hurts one hurts all "We must hang together or else wt will hang separately," as said the immortal Ben Franklin to his fellow signers of the Declaration of Independence. / JON ESVILLE Jonesville, Sept. ?Mr. Meek Wylie leaves this w< ek for Baltimore where he will take a course of study at the Peabody Conservatory of Music.

Clemson has only two students from here this session, viz: Charles and Sam Littlejohn. KELTON Kelton, Sept. 21.?After some davs of real September weather we are having summer weather again. News is scarce on the Ridge just now, all the talk is the great European war and" the low price of cotton and the cry of hard times. Those of us who went through the war between th< btates know something about hard times. We are living too fast in this age and if the great war lasts a year or two it will knock the starch out of us all and then we can turn over a new leaf and begin afresh as we did after the civil war. The good women are having plenty of beans these days and we are having them on our table every day. The other day "the old woman" helped my plate to some beans and looking into the dish for some bacon, she said, "It cooked all to pieces." Well, I knevv she had the experience of the Confederate war and I asked her no questions. Cotton picking is progressing right along. I cannot, see a way for the poor farmers unless we can get some universal law in all the cotton growing states prohibiting the cotton farmers from making too much cotton, by a tax on every bale above such a number to the plow. We are bound to see starvation prices for our staple the next two years. If we could have such a law within thirty days you wouM see cotton go vj war or no war, because the nulls and moneyed men would be in the market not only for this crop but the. 1915 crop. The people on the Ridge were terribly shocked over the tragic death of Jack McKissick for he had many relatives and friends among us. Mr. and Mrs. It. L. McNally and children, and Mrs. Macbeth Young passed through Kelton last Sunday and stopped a. while at the Gault camp meeting spring and lunched and drank of that pure water. After resting a while they left for Union via .Tonesville. They were traveling in their car. u Mr. J. M. Little, cotton buyer, nasi bought one bale of cotton at 9 cents he said he had orders to pay only ') O A />nnfo fVtic nvoninor Five applicants for membership in Mt.
