Do not neglect making an exhibit al the fair upon the supposition that only large exhibits will be appreciated. It is not so much the quantity as the quality that will make a good exhibit. Have you a big pumpkin, a big watermelon, a big turnip, a big pear, a big apple, or even a very big gourd with a very long handle? I.et the fair have the benefit of such an exhibit. A thousand such exhibits will be much better than one big display exhibit, and it will be so easy for you to send or bring in such articles. Menday and Tuesday officers of the fair will lie on the grounds ready to take charge of whatever von send. f Puhlie spirit is a thing never too plentiful, hut it is a thing1 necessary to the real advancement of a community. True, the men in a community who manifest this spirit are frequently not appreciated. They are often severely criticised and even falsely accused of selfish aims. There are not many people who know how far a few men have gone in their efforts to bring success to the fair. The directors have personally endorsed heavy loans to .carry on this enterprise. The public spirit has made it possible to have the fair this year. The newspapers are giving advertising space without charge. Now it is sincerely hopod that the good people of the county will honor the fair with their presence. WKI.COM F. HltKTIIKKN. I'nion is this week in the hands of our Presbyterian t>rothren who have come from tile various sections of the State. Their coming brings blessinir. for they represent that which is hitrh- j est and l>est. After all is done and said, the chief asset of a nation is its * men and its men are valuable only as they are lofty in ideal and hijrh in moral attainment. These earnest Christian gentlemen represent all that is highest and best in our civilization. They come as representatives of the Christ. They exnress in word and deed the ideals and , character of the (Ireat Teacher. Welcome, thrice welcome, ye men of true worth and of worthy ambition! M.-y your sojourn with us be pleasant, profitable and in every way all that 1 you had hoped. You are welcome to i'nion. You have not been jriven the, a ys of the city. That is usually done vhen revelry is rife. Hut you have _i\en the keys of the hearts and homes of the people of Union. WAU NO .MOKK. 11. the.* hook of Isaiah there is this tart ling passage: "Aral they shall beat their swords into plowshares, .11"! their -pears into pruninghooks; na'ion -hall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more." The last clause in this , quotation is significant: "Neither -hall they learn war any more." It is prohahle that this scripture is ahout to he fulfilled. The utter failure of war worship is at hand; the glorification of carnage and death, will, we helieve, receive just condemnation when the wail of multitudes dying and of many desolate widows and ori hans arise to the throne of the mer- I ci f ill (iod. A civilization centered ' upon the few and with heavy chains 1 upon the many, is, I?y its own worthlessness writing its own doom. The elfish ambitions of designing princes, 1 the guilded splendor of unholy power will receive its death wound. Out of j the folly that destroys the nations (lod will build up peaceful nations. ' "Neither shall they learn war any more." j , SYNOD IN SESSION HERE AT PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Convened Tuesday Evening?Able Discourse by Rev. A. G. Blackburn.?Prof. A. E. Spencer Chosen Moderator.

When Cotton was worth 8 Vac to 9c per pound, we offered as an evidence of our! friendship and desire to help where help was needed,) to take one bale each of first class cotton from the first; twenty planters who ap-i plied for the same and pay them 10c per pound for same allowing them to select any article that we had to sell, which embraces everything to eat for man and beast, just as though they were paying the money, allowing them to trade it all at one time or as needed or | wanted at whatever price was prevailing at the time of purchase. On this offer we have already taken several bales more than we offered to take, and have invested for the benefit* of the farmers of Union County some-j tiling like thirteen or fourteen hundred dollars. This cotton shows us now an averaere loss of about twenty dollars per bale ?but we have faith in the farmers of Union County. We believe the country is safe and s we believe you know that you have no better friends than the Old Reliable?The Union Grocery Company, and will stand by and help us to weather the storm. , JLl % Cotton is now worth around 6VL> cents per pound and we still have the biggest, best, freshest and fullest stock of everything good to eat in this part of South Carolina at the lowest live and let live prices. And we offer again to Lake one bale of good middling, unstained cotton from each of the first ten Union County farmers only, paying for same eight cents per pound in any item we carry in stock, just the same prices as if you were paying cash money for same. If $7.50 to $10.00 per bale premium is worth anything to you this is what our offer means. Don't wait until the bottom drops out again, or until the otfer is exhausted as some 50 of our good friends did in the case of our other offer. Now is the time to sow every nook and corner of your farm with profitable grain and market crops. We have the Wheat, Oats, Vetch, Rape, Red Clover, Crimson Clover, Barley, Rye, Turnip Seed, Mustard Seed, Lettuce, Seed and Onion Setts of all kinds. So get busy and phone, write ()} see us at once.
