THE TEST.
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.

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. Many good-byes were
said and good wishes exchanged "after
the ball was over." Those present
were: Misses Edith Willingham, Dorothy
Starbuck of Atlanta, Bertie Ladd,
Mildred Henderson, Harriett Rutherford,
Katherine Wilks, Maggie Turner
of Winnsboro, Jessie Rutherford, Bertha

Miss Edith Willingham of Blairs

at her home, "Fairview," in
compliment to her friend Miss Dorothy
Starbuck, of Atlanta. After a
round of progressive rook, prizes were
awarded to the guest of honor, Miss
Dorothy Starbucy, and Mr. Lawrence
Blair. The games were followed by
a tempting ice course; after which
M isses Willingham and Starbuck rendered
a number of selections on the
piano. Those taking part in the evening's
entertainment were: Misses Dorothy

THE THINGS THAT COUNT.
Not what We have, but what we use;
Not what we see; but what we
choose?
These are the things that mar or
bless
The sum of human happiness.
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.
Not as we take, but as we give,
Not as we pray, but as we live?
These the the things that make for
peace,

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."
