FRIDAY 1ANUARY 29, 1915.
There is no disputing the fact,
conditions are improving financially
throughout the country. After all
has been said, our people will have
been blessed by the lessons learned
in the recent experience. Business
will be sane, safer and in every way
more satisfactory.
It was The Times man's privilege
to visit our capital city this week.
While there, of course the Union
county delegation was called upon,
onrl n c? t Un \.fnn Id cnir
"we passed the time of day." These
gentlemen are giving due diligence
to the duties that have been assigned
them, and we feel sure the affairs of
the county will not be neglected by
them.
The question of issuing $25,000
dollars additional honds to extend and
enlarge the city water works system
will come up to be voted on by
the citizens of Union, February 16.
The letter from Mr. W. H. Sartor,
chairman of the conmission, published
on the first page in this issue,
should be read by every citizen of the
town. As he says, we are face to
face with absolute necessity. It is
not a question of what we would like
to do. The giave situation calls for
quick relief.
It now seems an assured fact that
the people will this summer be given
an opportunity to vote on the question
of state-wide prohibition. And it is,
if we mistake not, also a foregone
conclusion that prohibition will carry.
No single law would contribute more
to the economical welfare of the state.
No single law could do more for the
suppression of lawlessness and all
other crimes. The people, if we mistake
not, are already made up in
mind to vote prohibition. We are
with them, heart and hand.
The question of good roads is one
in which every inhabitant of Union
county, of whatever station in life,
is vitally interested. No matter
whether it be rich or poor, black or
white, old or young, sick or well?we
all desire good roads. It is only a
question of how to secure them that
could divide the people. There is no
bjection to a bond issue, provided
there be the guarantee that we get
the roads for the money. All will
depend upon whether the commission
appointed to carry out this work is
one that will inspire the confidence or
the people, and also upon the plans
utlined.
We do not yet purpose championing
the issue of bonds for pood roads;
nor do we oppose it. We await the
result of an effort to fret a suitable
bill passed by our present legislature
If the bill provides that safe men,
all around good men for the work be
put on the commission, and further,
if the bill be one that sets forth wise
plans, we will unhesitatingly give it
nr support. There is no question of
ur needing good roads, nor is there
so far as we know, any strong oppo- I
ftition to the bond issue, provided
there he the guarantee that the money
will result in getting the roads.
We purpose keeping informed upon
the question and of keeping the people
informed upon the question. The
movement has not yet reached the f
staple of having been passed through
the legislature. It must pass them
before the people will have to meet
3 the question at the ballot box.
In Need of Chairs
Envoy McAbee, in charge of the
Salvation Army at this place, is in
need of chairs for the hall in which
he holds meetings. Any one having
a chair or chairs to donate this
worthy cause will greatly help Envu>
McAbee by communicating with him.
The Army is doing much good in the
city and deserves the help and cooperation
of the citizens. Steps are
being taken to get a permanent hall
for public meetings and of course this
will add to the expense of operation
and Envoy McAbee makes this call
for chairs. He also wishes to state
that any one having clothes to give
the poor can leave them at his home
or he will call for them.
I.owery-Ed wards
Miss Maggie Lowrey and Mr. Clarence
Edwards were married on Jan.
16th at the home of Rev. W. F. Gault,
the officiating minister. The ceremony
was witnessed by a few intimate
friends.
Miss Sarah Watson who teaches at
Greenville Woman's College is visiting
friends in the city. Miss Watson
taught in the city graded schools,
several years ago and has many
friends here.

OAKLAND
Oakland, Jan. 26.?I hear and rea
so much concerning the bad cond
tions of the roads that it ha
aroused the whole country side t
the mobilization point against then
but what is the use for the peop]
to be wrought up over the bad cor
dition of our roads? We all kno1
that it was only water coming i
Contact with the roads that brougl
about this mud, and too, we all kno1
that it is not the fault of any on
that makes them so. Probably w
will say, yes, it is our fault for w
can issue bonds to the amount c
two or three hundred thousand do
lars and put this money right t
work on our roads, having them gr?
ded as near level as possible as pos
sible under the supervision of a civ
engineer, who can be hired at i
salary of two or three thousand
year and then by use of sand an
gravel, there will be a road that i
permanent and at a cost of froi
$700 to $1000 per year. Everybod
loves the comfort and pleasure dt
rived from driving over good road
and no one favors this good roa
| system more than I do. It is ever
citizen's duty to do everything in hi
power to advance the improvement
of his county and his ambition shoul
be to look forward to something ne^
and better, but not let this ambitio
go beyond his means and financii
standing. If this county should haj
pen to issue bonds to the amour
above mentioned, it is certainly gc
ing beyond its limit, considering it
financial standing.
Union county is not as level as on
might imagine, and to undertake th
grading down of small knolls and th
circling of the high hills and havin
to pay for the right of way in nearl
every instance, would certainly be
gigantic undertaking. This is m
opinion of the good road question an
it may seem "cracked" to some pec
pie, but we have access to free speec
in discussing any topic.
