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.

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.

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
