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.

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 ,

Listen!
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. If you
want us to help shoulder the
load for you.
