The question will be answered Friday by the percentage of the citizens of Union present at some or all the exercises. If every patron and supporter of education in Union will put in his appearance we would, by virtue of your manifest interest, be obliged to make it the mo.-C successful event of the kind in the history of such events. If you let some trival matter keep you away and just wish the affair success? don't gossip if Field Day is not as successful as you think it ought to be. Remember, when you attend, you are much more than entertaining yourself; you are furnishing that factor that is a requisite to the success of any public enterprise?your moral support. If Field Day is worth having, it is worth having well. If it is to be successful, the support of Union is a dire need. If you want to be a benefit to your town and county, the opportunity is at your door, and in the present tense. The occasion is takino- on new phases this year in the way of concerts and exhibits from the primary and intermediate prades. Come out and see what your boys and pirls can do in a public contest. Come out and tell us how we may improve. Who knows but that by your interest and cooperation this little bepi'nninp may be the embryo of a preat bip County School Fair, and that in the near future. There are just enouph entries in the literary contests to make a pood propram, which, spiced up with some Efood vocal and instrumental music, will furnish a pleasant eveninp at the j hiph school buildinp. 'If you want to see some real school spirit manifested you must come to the Excelsior Knittinp mill ball park and see the athWic contests. The field has been put in fine shape and everythinp ready and awaiti'np to> the contests, which will decide who will carry the County Trophy Cup back home. Mr. Dcnninp of the Soartanburp Y. M. C. A. will be referee for the occasion and "fair play" is a foregone conclusion. Don't forpet that Friday is poinp to he a fair day. Make your plans to come out and stay out all day. That implies, of course, that you pack ei'lunch and send it out to the Central school buildinp some time in the morning where it will be cared for until you arrive on the festal spot to sngage in the most vital part of the Jay's program. Green and white are the adopted colors for Union graded schools. Don't forget, patrons of the Union schools, to don these colons in some form or fashion and he a part yt Union that is worth while. Yours for a big Field Day. W. C. Ikenberry.

R i President Vice IkjpTii jm i O^vJR jKr -AlLin^ * i MAD AT PAINT ( 25c a gallon for paint is about ?$2.50 on the average job, and lots of men waited last year for that; but 1 they didn't reckon; they got mad; wouldn't pay it. There are times to get mad and refuse to pay; but when one's property needs protecting is no time to get mad and not paint. 1 Besides, it costs more to get mad and wait than to paint. Getting mad doesn't do any good to your property; paint does it good by keeping out water: no water no rot; no paint, sonic water ami rot; 1 and a litle rot is more than enough to make a man liberal towards his painter and paint. ' Paint costs not a cent. All the paint in the world, so long as it keeps 1 out water, costs not a cent. DEVOK Stone-Jones Hardware Co. sell tt. WHAT LIQUOR IS COSTINd 1 STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA Bennettsville Advocate. During the short month of February the dispensaries in 11 counties sold liquor amounting to $233,864.87. J At this rate the dispensary sales for a year in 14 counties would amount to over $3,000,000. If all the counties had dispensaries and had sold at the annual sales would he $10,000,000. ] This take no account of the liquor shipped into individuals, made by illict distillers, nor the stealing and grafting at dispensaries. It is probably a safe estimate that the annual consumption of liquor in South Carolina costs fifteen to twenty million dollars. And this during one of the . worst financial panices that ever , struck the State. How can our people expect prosperity when they are spending from one-third to one-half of the entire cotton cron of tho SJ.'-iln fr?i- limini- . ' And the damage done by the liquor costs the State as much more! In this matter it would be good for South Carolina to have a czar who would banish the intoxicants from the State, as Czar Nicholas has done in Russia. How To Give Quinine To Children.
