The merchant who complains of the
inroads of the mail order house and
who yet does not advertise in his local
paper is not to he greatly pittied.
Self help is the first requisition in
the conducting of any business. There
is no doubt of the fact that the mail
order houses are making heavy inroads
upon the retail merchants. The
best defense the local merchant has
against this condition is a campaign
of honest advertising.
The mighty wars in Europe are
making history. (ireat rulers are
pitted the one against the other. Ambition
born in hell is firing the hearts
of these leaders. Incidentally, it may
be added, there are a few millions
dead, crippled, blinded, disfigured. But
what matters that? What is one man,
a million men?provided the lust for
power is gratified? And yet, one cannot
escape the conclusion that these
many dead, dying, crippled, blinded
men will so move the courts of heaven
that there will be a day of just settlonu.nl
There are two extremes in the views
held upon the question of national defense.
There are those who "throw
tits" at the mere thought of the county
making any preparation beyond the
merest beginning. There are others
who "throw fits" at the mere prospect
of anything less than the complete enthroning
of militiarism. Both these
views are wrong, dead wrong. There
is a happy medium?the path that
wise men and true patriots may walk
in unafraid and with safety. VVe believe,
too, that the great majority of
our people are sane enough to choose
this happy middle ground.
^ On last Monday the directors of tile
Union County Fair association held a
meeting and each man of of them, including
also the secretary of the association,
pulled out fifty-five dollars and
paid it into the treasury. This amount
each one had to contribute to make up
the deficiency of this year's fair and
to carry the interest on the debt already
resting upon the organization.
.... ?u:,. ?ui: _i

by these citizens is worthy of high
praise. The unselfishness they here
manifested should arouse the entire
country to the necessary degree of
enthusiasm for the future success of
the fair. And we sincerely believe it
will so result^ It will be a great step
forward if the people of the county
will come together now and make a
bigger and better fair than we have
yet held.
FIFTY YEARS JOINED IN .MAURI
AGE.
Not many married couples reach
their golden wedding. Now and again
such a thing transpires, as happened
in the life of Mr. and Mrs. Stephen
Crosby this week. TWfe Times man
was an invited guest and greatly enjoyed
the feast of good things and
the fellowship of spirit revealed on
the glad occasion. Time has dealt
kindly with this happy pair. They
have much to be thankful for and
they show in their daily lives a commendable
spirit of gratitude to a kind
Providence.
Fifty years yoked together, for
good or ill?for life. This thing of
marriage is a serious business. In
our humble judgment a woman is to
be congratulated who has for fifty
years stood side by side to the man
of her choice, ministering to him,
comforting him, encouraging him. A
loyal life partner is a treasure beyond
price. A man and a woman, one man
and one woman, linked in a life des
tiny and for fifty yours keeping step?
it is beautiful, it is a blessed union
ordained of God; it is a sacred tiling.
Our congratulations! May the God
who has so signally blessed these
hearts give to them increasing comfort
and peace. May the years span
far before the sunset comes, and when
it does come, as it must, may there be
silver and gold linings to the gathering
clouds that are kissed by its dying
rays#
The conviction grows that President
Wilson made no mistake when
he diverged from Wm. Jennings
Bryan in matters of State. Mr. Bryan's
theory may be good. The facts
that confront us are stubborn thing*^,
.. ~ SANTUC
Santuc, Nov. 10.?Autumn tinted
hues are the decorations of the forest
now
Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Gilmore, of
Greenville, and Mrs. Clara Railey, of
Mt. Crogan are on a visit to their
father, Mr. A. W. Gilmore.
News reached here from Carlisle
that "Judge" B G. Gregory, formerly
of this place, suffered from a slight
stroke of paralysis Friday, the 5th.
but is now doing very well.
Rev. W. B. Duncan, Jr., filled his
appointment at the Methodist church
Sunday. His text was from Matt.
t>:24. He will preach here again 2nd
Snndnv nt 7 tllO n m
Mr. Ernest Gilmore went to Petersburg,
Va., recently to fill a position in
the Dupont Powder Works, but is at
home again. He says it is no place
for hini, as the poor accommodations
are not in keeping with the quality of
work he *'as expected to do; that for
quarters, he was assigned to the bunkhouse,
and that was badly infested
with vermin. Mr. Gilmore is a graduate
of Clemson, class of 11)14.
Nearly all summer there has been
a union prayer meeting service at
Salem Baptist church here every Sunday
night, when there is no preaching
service at any of the churches. These
services are well attended and shows
that there is much interest in them.
There may not be a chance to continue
these services when cold weather
comes, as we all count ourselves
country folk, and distances are to be
met
I asked myself the question, "Are
the shower parties we read so much
about, showers of Clessings?"
It seems that small grain sowing is
not progressing as it should. Many
people have their hands too full of
other things. Obligations are to be
met now. Not many men are able to
pay out much to net things done.
They are mostly poor, and are hard
pressed, however much they may desire
to do things. It is upgrade with
them. But they will, mostly all, come,
if allowed more time.
Last fall I bought a pair of overalls
for $1.00; in the spring I bought
another pair, pribe $1.00. Last week
I bought another pair, price $1.00.
All the same. I thought I might find
a pair made from some of our last
fall cheap cotton. But not so. When,
do you suppose. No cheap cloth ?
an awful big profit must have been
made from that crop.
The home of Mr. and Mrs James P.
Jeter was the scene of festivities
Tuesday (today) afternoon, the occasion
being the marriage of their eldest
daughter, Miss Kathleen, to Mr. O.
T. Culp, of Fort Mill. Rev.'A. McA.
Pittman, the bride's pastor, spoke the
words that made them husband and
wife. The bride is a very pretty and
social young lady, and has a wide
circle of friends. The groom is a
VAimrr mmmKonf a f T?avt \f ill \i>Viai<a
Miss Jeter (now Mrs. Gulp) taugu.
for two years, beginning very young:.
Immediately after the wedding dinner
Mr. and Mrs. Gulp boarded the
"Carolina Special" for a honeymoon
trip through Knoxville, Tenn., Birmingham,
Ala., to Huntsville, Ala.,
the objective point. A large number
of relatives and friends were present,
and the presents contributed were
nanv and very, very pretty If I
could be precise and concise?with a
gift of describing costumes and decorations?I
might launch on to the
tssk, but as that is lacking, and time
is limited, I will not attempt, hoping,
meantime that some lady guest with
the gift that I am shy on, will give
it to the readers. Suffice it to Sav
that the parlor, with its twilight effects
and decorations not so profuse
as to be hid in elaborations, was extremely
beautiful. The style of entering
the parlor, the bridesmaids,
flower girls, ring-bearer, and the music
kept many on the tiptoe of expectancy,
until the groom, with his best
man, and the bride on her father's
arm, met at the altar, and Rev. Mr.
Pittman, in an impressive ceremony,
joined them as man and wife for life.
A most sumptuous dinner was served,
and with all, the guests count this an
eventful day; only all regret that Mrs.
Gulp's home will not be in our midst.
