The test of the nian is the fipht he makes, The jrrit that he daily shows; The way that he stands on his feet and takes Gat's numerous bumps and blows. A coward can smile when there's naujfht to fear; When nothing his prepress bars. But it takes a man to stand up and cheer While some other fellow stars. It isn't victory after all Hut fight that a brother makes; The man who is driven against the I wall, who stands erect and takes , The blows of fate with his head held high, Bleeding and bruised and pale, Is the man who'll win the by and by, ( For he isn't afraid to fail. It's the bumps you get and the jolts And the shocks that your courage you get, stands, The hours of sorrow and vain regret, The prize that escapes your hands That test your mettle and prove your worth. It isn't the blows you deal. But the blows you take on the good old earth Show if your stuff is real. ?Detroit Free Press. This is just a reminder that the fifth annual Union County Fair will be held Oct. 20, 21 and 22. Make your plans to attend. A gentleman in Union paid a small debt the other day. In less than an f- ... lUvn^lt ,Vnd nann to ? man he paid, and in another hour was on its way to pay a debt to the man first named. It is astonishing how many times a dollar will pay a debt, each time going to a different man. There have been so many "thrills," so much confusion?war, disasters of various kinds?that one finds it haro to keep steadily moving in the circle of routine duty. The whole heart of mankind has come to a sort of drunken frenzy. Yet the world's work must go steadily on. Harvests must be gathered, fields must he ploughed, growing crops must he tilled. The farmer, mechanic, tradesman?in fact, men of all walks of life?have before them the problem of living, working and that, too, without the glitter and excitement that extraordinary conditions induce. After all is said, the steady, patient toilers of the earth are its chief hope. We predicted a good price for cotton, even when others were of a different opinion, and our prediction Kit v oniiin f 1*110 It I o riAiif ovonnd 12 cents. In our humble judgment if the farmers of Union county can get 12 cents or more for cotton it will be a pood time to "make a killing." Certainly if you owe money, if you will get real relief at 12 cents, it will be a good time to sell. True, the price may go higher?then again, it may go very much lower. If the cotton crop of Union county were sold at 12 cents it could work wonders in this county, and would put the whole county in very fair shap" Somehow, we cannot escape the feeling that "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush." We realize the fact that our cotton quotations are open to some criticism, for they are far from being as full as is necessary. We will try and give better service during the succeeding days. We will probably give the quotation as it stands at noon of each nay, an? noi iry 10 give nan a dozen changes that may come during any one day. On Wednesday afternoon the market dropped half a cent. Thursday morning the tendency was upward. About all we can hope to do, without working injustice, is to give the price as we can get it at same hour each day, and the noon hour will probably be the best time to get the prices paid at various places in this county and in other counties nearby. For years we have heard complaint.* that Union did not pay as much for cotton as did other markets. The report was being circulated recently, and we decided that the way to prove or disprove the charge was to get quotations on cotton from the various sec/ tions of the county and from contiguous counties and post a bulletin daily. This we began on Tuesday and the three days' results have been posted on our bulletin board and the tabulated results are given in this issue of The Times. We propose continuing this movement for some time and the results may be seen daily on our bulletin. The week's results will be tabulated and published in The Times for the week. We have on several occasions previously run down rumors of very high prices at other points only to find that there was no basis for the report. On the other hand. Jonesville paid a quarter of a cent more for cotton last Saturday than Union paid. Since we have been getting the reports the Union market has been both higher and lower than other markets. We are simply giving the results. We .make no charge against our cotton buyers. They are personal friends, and we believe they will give as good price for cotton as other points. Anyway, we purpose giving the prices paid. The information can hurt nobody. It will do good, if it has any effect. SOCIAL EVENTS AT BLAIRS. An enjoyable event of the week was the farewell moonlight picnic on Tuesday evening given by the young men of Blairs to the girls and boys who will soon leave to assume their various duties for the coming school year. After several hours of pleasure spent in boat riding on the beautiful willow-lined bank of Broad river by the light of the full moon, the call for lunch was given, which was served on the spacious veranda at the home of Mr. ano Mrs. L. S. Henderson, "Cliff Crest," on the high bluff overlooking the river. After the repast music was furnished by a victrola and dancing was indulged in the rest of the evening.

The things nearby, not things afar; Not what we seem, but what we are? These are the things that make or break, That give the heart its joy or ache. Not what seems fair, but what is true; Not what we dream, but good we do? These are the things that shine like gems, , Like stars in Fortune's diadems.

FORD'S SUBMARINE. What the Automobile Man Has to Say About the Little Terror. Henry Ford, the automobile manufacturer, who is going to New York Sunday night preliminary to a conference with Secretary Daniels, will submit to the latter a plan for a new submarine one-fourth the size of the average submarine, far more destructive and, in Mr. Ford's opinion, likely to hasten world peace. The new submarine would be equipped with a gasoline motor only onefourth the size of those now in use and far less expensive. This is what Mr. Ford has to say about the new submarine: "It would be no trick at all to proluce a submarine equipped with a gasoline engine for its entire motive power which could sail anywhere unier the sea carrying a pill at the end af a pole powerful enough to blow the nightiest battleship ever built into a wreck of junk. I am going to tell Secretary Daniel so when I see him in Washington nex tweek. "The new submarine would be onefourth the size of the present submarine and would be able to propel itself and guide itself up and down to the ! ! rrVi 4- o f/v 1 *\?4- Ktr Uo L niiu vw V, 1/jr 1VO v* rvxi pu wci . Electric storage batteries are unnecessary. "And the best of all, these submarines can be built at such a slight cost hat all the incentive for greedy arnament makers will be taken away from them. They will cost only a fraction of what the present submarines cost and only a fraction of one per cent of the $15,000^1 uwaui* loughts which they will be able to )low to pieees. "If the public is interested enough, we may arrange to give a demonstration of this new machine some time n the near future. I believe that education will be the greatest factor in wringing about universal peace, but his new submarine is likely, by the rery tenor it inspires, to hasten world :>eace."
