RAIN EXPERTS SPOKE FRIDAY (Continued from -page l) keleton clothed in a beautiful gown. Ivery man in Union county !;as been epending on cotton. Uy artificial leans we made a little urobi; it cost leven cents per pound to **nise cotton 1 this State. If we do not protect urselves next year, we are going to aise it for 4 l-2c per pound. Then ou will feel the pinch of poverty. I ad rather see Jimson weed than coton in South Carolina next year. The rorld does not want cotton but it fants bread as never before in the istory of the world. Twentv million len are in war, fields are lying1 idle. European Russia has ironi? nut nf line. less in raising food, so with Austria lungary. Canadian crops have been failure, an export hdavier than evr before, corn and oats are now in /oidd demand; soon the present suply will be consumed, then you are oing to hear the real cry for bread. Vhat is the logical thing for us then? would like to see every acre of land n the Southern States planted to /heat, and next to wheat in oats. No /here else in the world is there an pportunity to plant grain and get it 0 the needy markets three months head' of the Middle West and Northzest. After wheat follow with corn nd thus gather two crops a year for larket at war-time prices. Even if there were no war it would till pay us to do this. Cotton and big ertili/.er bills have ruined us. We an raise the best of wheat, corn, tolatoes, fruits, hogs, cheaper than the Western men. Wintpr gardens and ummer gardens should be given alention. We do not one thing to take are of ourselves. We buy it either 1 a tin can, sack or barrel, just as i comes from somewhere else. Even lie cabbage we eat comes from three .. i 1? ' - j iwui nuiiurvu rniies away, and Cauda is shipping turnips into this state, ou could sow turnips along the road i Union county and they would hrive. Moreover all this stuff is rought in and is frequently inferior uality or adulterated. You can go ito a country store out on the cross ads and of all the tin cans you see n the shelves, there will not be one lied with home raised products. We re throwing away fourteen millions, er annum in this State in this wav. Vc are buying thirteen million dolirs worth of old sow bellies from the /est per annum. We are spending ighty million dollars a year from our otton money and even if cotton were 5 cents net* pound we would untilately go bankrupt. We must prouce our corn, meat, flour. We must lant wheat, oats, cow peas and sell ur products to the local merchant; his we can do if we will put the prodct in proper shape. A small elevajr with a flour mill and corn mill at iched will do this. 1 am going to make it so hot for he man who handles inferior food tuffs that he will have to handle tho ood product. Your market is comig?go out and plant that grain right ow. In a few weeks more your oportunity will have vanished. Mr. J. H. Barton was the next peaker introduced. He told of a probble scarcity of grain owing to the rar; said we were dead hut did not now it. He put emphasis upcri rops which were soil builders and lose which were soil robbers. His peech was quite good but was large? a repitition of the doctrine he had reached here before. He said vetch nd clover alone would have saved .ome and that our country would in ke manner be saved. The soil buildlg plants take nitrogen from the air nd thus furnish one-half of the elelents of the fertilizer used. They lso furnish humus and fright off rought. Your soil may be further iriched by proper rotation until your -4-4 fertilizer will cost you only $2 er ton. WILSON THINKS THAT JONDITIONS IN MEXICO VILL SOON BE BETTER Washington, Nov. 24.?President Wilson today said he "had received 'assuring advices of conditions in [exico and was confident nothing seous would result to American interits in the present controversy among ie Mexican generals. The president ave no details, but expressed his )inion of the-situation after readine number of dispatches from Ameriin consular agents. No formal comment was made by le president on the evacuation of era Cruz, but it is known he feels le withdrawal of the American oops will leave the Mexicans free i settle their own affairs without >reif*n eomnlication<\ Mr. Wilson thinks conditions in exico will constantly imnrove. Inliries by the British, French and nanish ambassadors as to the safety their subjects have not been prosts in any sense, according to the rhite House view, but merelv indica>ns of the desire of those Europe nn >vernrnents for the exercise hv the nited States of its K?od offices in be>if of foreigners. The president incated clearly today that the United axes assumes no task of obligation that connection, the European govnments recognizing merelv that the nited States, as the nearest friend Mexico, was able to exert more injence in behalf of foreigners or to complish the things which far-away itions might not find so easy to efct. One Market Greedy for Cotton. Assurances that cotton nriv he ipned to Germany in safety by way Holland should further stimulate ports find tend to a broader home arket at higher prices. Germany is nractically isolated r as trade with the outside world is ncerned, and she must manufacture tton in quantity for her armies and 'r people.

We are soon to be in our new school building. This is a nice school building; one which the people of the (Jault , school district should feel proud of. It is well located, about a ouarter of a mile from the old school building and is as near the center of the district as it could be built. The house when finished will cost between one ] thousand and twelve hundred dollars and will in the future employ three teachers. As it is in a thickly settled section of the district, where the peo- J pie own their own farms, it is where , it should still build up. i We have had some very cold weath- 1 er for the past few days and there were several line hogs killed around here. This is a good time to have a good dinner of spare ribs and sausages and it goes well at this time of year. The Jonesville Baptist Y. W. A. invited this writer to a birthday party at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Horn on last Saturday evening. I ! went and carried pennies for each year I had seen the light. This gift was then sent to the people across the seas. We sure did enjoy this party as always when we nAeet the young ladies and young men. We played the different games; I don't know how many, and the young ladies treated me just as they did the other boys rand I felt like a boy in his teens. After the r?l?VS. anrt the hect of ;ill < Mrs. Horn served us to many good things to eat. At the hour of 11 we ' all left for our homes, only hoping < to meet again on another occasion like this. The Ladies W. O." W. circle of Jonesville camp serves an oyster supper at the Jonesville hall next Satur- ( day evening, Noven^jer 28, beginning at six o'clock. The public is invited to attend; this is for the benefit of the circle. * Mr. C. O. Allen of Greenville who owns a farm near here lost his oldest sort. He is about 28 years old and he died after being sick only a short time. I never knew a brighter young man. He attended our county fair at Union. Mr. and Mrs. Allen have 1 our sympathy in this time of sorrow. I Mr. T). J. Whitlock of Jonesville, who runs a public car, brought several young ladies down to the widowers home last Saturday evening. Bring them again, Mr, Whitlock. We appreciate vour visits. Mr. R. F. Garner of Campobello, c who moved from this section to that place, is visiting his father in this ^ county. He says he has made a fine crop of cotton and corn and has plenty of corn shelled, and is holding b:s | cotton. He takes The Times and is always glad to read the letters from th evarious correspondents. I want to correct the question as to the chapter where the prophet Knoeh was found. It was found in Jude, the first chapter. That is the only { chapter and the type man mane me j say the third chapter. Moxy. , 1 m ' c Mr. Gnult Slowly Improving. I i Spartanburg, S.

I am not . sick but am suffering with somethimr like paralysis. The patients ty-e well cared for here. We have good, beautiful and attentive nurses to wait on ! us and you know that goes a long c way with a man even if he is three score and ten years old. I came here last Wednesday evening and cannot tell how long I will remain here. I . miss old Union and The Union Times. _ I did not get one last Friday and 1 do not want that to happen again. My *i old Union county friends call almost daily. Capt. J. C. Otts among the number. Spartanburg is a growing city and has well equipped colleges and business schools. It is a plucky city and the people are energetic and hospitable. Two up-to-date hospitals to care for the sick and afflicted. I hope soon T to see a hospital at dear old Union. There should he one in every county 4 in South Carolina. I believe the time * will soon come when rich men like ( KOCKeteiler, Carnegie and others will V be giving their millions to erect hospitals where the poor can go and he 1 treated and the time will soon come when the great country of America g will appropriate funds to help the sick and afflicted. We are-a great people and a little' appropriation by the States would be duplicated bv the rich and the taxpayers would hardly miss it when it would do some poor man or woman much good. G. T.
