FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1914.
Our appeal for aid has met with
very gratifying results, but there are
many more to be heard from yet. Join
the "pay-your-subscription" movement.
The city authorities have begun the
enforcement of the new regulations
relating to the operation of motorcycles,
automobiles and power driven
vehicles within the city limits. There
can be no doubt of the fact that the
laws will work to the good of the public,
particularly in securing greater
safety.
There is one exhibit in the agricul
mrai department of the lair that
should bo closely observed by all who
visit the grounds. It is a comparison I
of the cotton farmer with the grain
farmer. One of the most noticeable
things is the display of the bank book
in each case. The cotton farmer has
no balance; the grain farmer has a
, thousand dollar balance. We very
much suspect that the representation
is true to life.
The county fair is quite good so far
as exhibits go, but the attendance is
none too good. The agricultural products
exhibit is very good indeed. We
feel sure this is the direction a fair
should take if it is to fulfill its mission.
The attendance Wednesday was
quite small, hut on Thursday there
was a very noticeable increase in attendance.
Friday the school children
are to attend, and it is expected that
the attendance will be large on that
day.
There are many volunteers who
make a firm showing on dress parade,
yet are poor soldiers when it comes
to active warfare. The beat of the
drum and the sound of trumpet are
quite pleasant sounds when they call
to play, but they have a very different
appeal when they call to battle. In
the stern crisis of a man's life the
test comes. When everything is
pleasant and success comes easily any
man can go forth to his tasks with a
smiling face. It takes a true soldier
to go forth with a smile when the battle
is stern and when its tide is uncertain.
Yet it is just such conditions
that show what manner of man
one is.
The Columbia Record published the
following news item which could be
read with profit by many Union county
people:
"In this time of almost universal
complaint of 'hard times' it behooves
us to learn a lesson of diversified gardening.
Hartsville has a man who is
wide awake to the possibilities of
raising vegetables all the year around.
J. F. Clyburn, the manager of the dry
goods department of J. L. Coker &
Co.'s department store.
Mr. Clyburn now has in his garden
and truck patch, string beans, lima
beans, tomatoes, okra, parsley, mustard,
egg-plants, radishes, strawberries,
squash, sweet potatoes, and pepper.
These varieties are being gathered
daily.
Mr. Clyburn keeps his strawberry
plants in good condition by a system
of irrigation when the rain fails to
come when needed. Kale, lettuce, and
spinach are also among the varieties
growing which will soon be ready for
use, ann as me dinerent varieties exhaust
they are replaced hy other
things planted to the land."
If a man in Hartsville can do all
this, a Union man can do the same
thing. Suppose we try.
After a woman has been trotting in
double harness for a few years, it
makes her fretful every time she sees
a newly married couple making love.

JONESVILLE
Jonesville, Oct. 20.?My Georgia
trip came to an end last Friday evening.
My friends and relatives over in
that Empire State are doing well:
they make their own supplies and all
the cotton they can and nio^jt of them
are quite independent.
Since the great European war has
loomed up our country has found out
that the world is allied together, really,
we are one common brotherhood
the world over and are dependent on
each other the world over. The exports
and imports are all the while
| crossing the high seas and swapping
commerce with each other, consequently,
all the nations should be
friends and if it were not for sin, envy
and covetness, there would be no
war. Then I would exclaim:
"Hasten Lord the glorious time
When beneath Messiah's sway
Every nation, every clime
Shall the gospel call obey.
Then shall wars and tumults cease,
Then be banished grief and pain;
Righteousness and joy and peace
Undisturbed, shall ever reign."
I shall not discuss the cotton problem
nor the war problem further than
I have already written. I am surpris- I
ed to see a bill introduced in the special
session of our legislature to prohibit
farmers from planting more
than six acres of cotton to the plow. I
think I saw in the papers not lo'v
ago that more than half the membership
of that body was lawyers, hence
my surprise at the bill before the
house. It strikes me that this sort of
thing could only be done by the governor
declaring martial law and suspend
the writ of habeas corpus.
"My country, tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing."
The farmers ought to have enough
good hard sense to know that it is not
best to plant so much cotton while the
great European war is raging and
they ought to be controlled by iheir
good judgment. Too much cotton
piled up when the great war does end
will even then keep the price down,
but a reasonable amount would put
the price away up.
Our town council is carrying forward
the good work of cement side
walks and if the money holds out we
will have but little mud on our pavements.
The small child of Mr. and Mrs. It.
A. Lybrand died last Thursday and
the remains were laid to rest in the
cemetery at Gilead the following day.
Mr. and Mrs. Lybrand are at Great
Falls with their brother for the present.
Mr. Rudolph Roseborough of Deland,
Fla. was the guest of relatives in
Jonesville last week.
"Telephone."
SANTTTC
Santue, S. C., Oct. 20.?I would like
to see a good fair this year, both the
county and State.
Now that the fruit is all out we are
craving for fruit. A few trees of
choice varieties of winter apples, well
cared for would be a fine thing.
A poor excuse for one not going to
Sunday school is "could not {yet up in
time on Sunday morning." I heard
that. Whew!
Mr. M. It. Jeter lays claim to having
in his possession the oldest ju"
around. A four gallon jug that his
wife's grandfather brought over from
Scotland 08 years ago, and it may he
over one hundred years old. It was
made in (Slascow.
The list of personals are mixed, so
to be fair to all, 1 will let "mum" be
the word this time, please.
On last Friday the temperature
dropped to 4(5 degrees, hovering close
to frost, and the people were not just
quite ready for it yet. There are a
whole lot of green stuffs around, such
as peas, potatoes, late corn, and cheap
cotton, that frost would hurt. Cotton
is cheap but we want it, need it, and
must have it if we can get it right.
I am superintending the hauling of
some pumpkins. On a piece of bottom
land pumpkin seed were dropped on
every third row and fourth hill, but
many did not come up, but some of
the vines produced well; we have only
a few over 800 to haul ofT that
piece of ground. I guess we made
about 1,000 in all. Our hogs think
they have a picnic now, but I am
afraid they cannot consume near all.
If there was a sale for these things?
then.
1 guess the cotton factories will get
richer this year. At least they are
getting cotton at less than cost of
i j?i vniuvnun, turn im'ii iuuiiik will, consequently,
!?? big, while there is more
| for the producer. Many farmers are
owing bills for fertilizers, mules and
even land, and in many eases, land
and mules are in jeopardy. But all
are not wealthy farmers, and will he
forced to sell and pay as far as they
can go (and much advice is don't talk
hard times) but it is better to sell
their produce so cheap and the other
fellows waxing fat and strong on it.
It was very sad news to hear of the
death of Mrs. R. P. Morgan, and especially
sad to the writer, for there
was no girl nor woman of my acquaintance,
on my list of friends, for
whom I had a higher regard. There
was no better girl in her girlhood, nor
woman in her young womanhood, nor
more Christian like. She was fcoeial,
friendly and unostentatious, bearing a
sweet disposition and to whom any
trace of haughtiness was alien. She
was reared in this community and everybody
loved her and she had a large
number of relatives. The entire community
mourns her loss and sympathize
with the bereaved family and
husband. Oh, how we all would have
liked to see her spared ,but alas, it is
not our wills. "Hey Denver."
Raising $1,250,000 Endowment Fund.
Rev. Dr. Lansdale, representing the
Foreign Mission hoard of the Southern
Raptist convention, is canvassing
the Baptist churches throughout Union
county in the interest of the Judson
Memorial fund. The purpose is
to raise a fund of $1,250,000 for foreign
missions to be used in better
equipment for the mission stations
throughout the foreign fields in which
the Baptists are at work. Mr. Bansdale
is meeting with considerable encouragement
in this county. He has
already spoken at the First church of
Union, Buffalo, .Jonesville and MonAetna.

The paralysis of our money
crop, cotton, has hurt you it is
true, but it has hurt us worse
than it has you. Don't be wor

work of $1.25, often $1.50.
We have taken and we arc
now holding for the farmers ol
Union County, thirty-five bales
of cotton at a loss to us of $1C
to $25 per bale. We have done
it without hope of reward othei
than your good will, and the desire
to stand by at a time whet
the citizenship of old Union
needs our help. We believe thai
the friends from whom we have
taken cotton will remember us
kindly and other things h^inji

for supplying their needs
for the future, and we want yon
to know that we believe in yon

Listen, last Friday's issue 01
this paper carried an offer t(
Lake ten bales of good middlinj
unstained, dry cotton from ter
Union County farmers, wh(
wanted to invest the same ir
anything that we sell, which em
braces everything that is wortl
while to eat for man and beast
also all desirable seeds, poultrj
'nd stock foods and remedies
And to pay for the same in mer
chandise at the prevailing cast
prices, allowing for the cottor
8c per pound or a premium ovei
the market of $8 to $10 pel
bale. This offer to take ten
bales was taken up by 12:0(
o'clock Saturday or within a
day after it was made, and sc
many of our friends applied af
ter the offer was taken up, thai
despite the fact that we see nc
improvement in the situatior
and see from the press reports
'hat cotton is being offered al
interior Texas and Oklahoma
points at 5c to 6c per pound, we
will take ten bales more frorr
Union County planters only, or
exactly the same terms as last
Friday's offer?if the same is
accepted at once.
Remember that you can trade
it all at once, or you can trade
it as you want to, you get the
benefit of whatever prices we
have at the time you make your
purchase, just the same as if
you were paying gold instead of
cotton at a premium of $10 per
bale over the present market
which may be less any day. Cotton
must be first-class and dry
and offer must be accepted within
the week.
Don't forget us for Seed Rye,
Seed Oats, Seed Wheat, Vetch
Rape, Barley, Lettuce, Mustard,
Turnip, Beet Seed, and English
Peas and Onion Setts for fall
planting.
