Be kind to some less fortunate human being than yourself on the glad Thanksgiving Day. What has become of Mexico? The great European war has completely overshadowed the doings of our near J neighbor. The man who is truly thankful to |1 Clod for the blessings of life is the 1 man most deeply conscious of his obli- ' gations to his fellows. ; Most assuredly we see no reasonable objection to preparation to de- , fend ourselves as a nation. It is cer- , tain that our present state of preparedness is altogether inadequate. ' Our army is little more than sufficient to police the nation, and the ranks ( would be exceedingly thin even in that effort. It will, we believe, serve ( to keep us out of war if we are reasonably strong in our preparation for i just that event. One cannot but rejoice in the fac?. that the schools in this county are showing such marked signs of improvement. A trip in almost any direction in the county reveals the situation. New school houses, old school houses improved and longer sessions are the rule, not the exception. That the people are awakening upon the school question is everywhere apparent. UNION'S CHAMBER OF COMMERCE The membership meeting of the Union Chamber of Commerce, held Tuesday evening, brought out clearly one fact: If we are to have such an organization we must go down in our pockets and furnish the money?twenty-five hundred dollars per year. It >vin taKe tnat amount to carry on this work. There can be no doubt of the fact that the institution is helpful; just how helpful no one can accurately judge. It possesses a greater value in matters of cooperation and inspiration than in mere actual dollars, althouph the question of dollars must not be overlooked. It is easy to pull down; hard to construct. That is a peneral law in all human affairs. The ones most ready to condemn the Chamber of Commerce are frequently those who contribute nothinp to its support and who know nothinp of its activities. We feel confident that the orpanization has done much for Union in the past and will do more in thb future?provided it is to have a future. We sincerely trust that the business men and public spirited citizens of Union will come topether in this movement and will place it upon a , firm financial basis. One amazing ] thing has been that so much has been i accomplished upon so little. But the 1 past year has been an exceptionally hard one. The future looks very 1 much brighter. The Chamber of ' Commerce will receive far fuller co- , operation in the future than it has in the past. Tt would be little short of 1 a calamity if we allowed the insti- I tution to die. ' NOT CONSTITUTIONAL SAYS JUDOE WILSON. I 4 Spartanburg, Nov. 23.?Judge Joh\ 1 S. Wilson in the court of genera) ses- i sions here yesterday held South Car- ! olina's gallon-a-month law unconsti- tutional in its application to intra- : state shipments of liquor. The trou- < hie is in the title of the act, according < to the court's ruling, and is one that 1 legislative amendment will cure readily. The court held that the title of 1 the act does not conform to article 1 8, section 17, of the constitution, i which provides that any act or res- 1 olution having the force of the law shall relate to hut one subject and < that shall he expressed in the title. .] The title of the gallon-a-month law t states the subject of the act to b?. that of the regulation of the ship- i ment of alcoholic liquor into the State, 1 hut makes no reference to shipment 1 i otirely within the State. 1 The question of the constitutionality of the act was raised by C. C. t Wyche, attorney for Boyce L. Tur- i ner, under indictment for transport- i ing 150 pints of beer from Union into ? Spartanburg county last summer, f The court directed a verdict of not r guilty in the case, holding the act not 1 in accord with the constitution of the 1 State as it relates to the movement J of liquor wholly within the State. There have been several convictions in the city courts on this point of the law. i LOCKHART JUNCTION I Lockhart Junction, Nov. 22.?The winter time has come and we put it :ool, chilly winds. Before my letter is read or seen in print Thanksgiving day will be past and we have many things for which to feel thankful?for life, health and the abundant harvest. I hear the farmers say they have made a good crop of feed stuflf for man and beast and this is a great blessing. It seems the war scare is not on like it was last year. There is not so much excitement over it. So things seem to be so much better at this time than it was last year. Times change many things, for the better or worse. The Rural School Improvement association met last Friday evening at the Gault school house and gave a reception in honor of Mr. B. C. Lake, the principal of the school. There was a very large attendance. This was a rW /\Clt ort lAtf nl\l/\ Iivoo VUJUJ auiu 1UII. lVllOd Vylicav" ham, of the Oakland, furnished the music on the organ. There was also some good speaking by Prof. Lake, of Prosperity, who is principal, and Professor James Hope, the county superintendent of education. Miss Alsie Smith of Union spoke on the subject of 'Rural School Improvement Association, Its Benefits and Needs of the Organization," which she very clearly explained. Mr. Hope and Mr. Lake both handled their subjects well. Mr. Lake comes highly recommended and we find in him a young man of ability. He was graduated at Hickory, N. C., with high honors. He has a diploma and certificates from Aiken county, where he has been teaching. We are very glad to have this young man in our community, and we speak for him a bright future. Misses Georgia Noland and Nellie Garner of Lockhart were visiting relatives and friends in this section Sunday. Rev. Justice preached at the Gault school house on the 14th. He promised to be with us occasionally. There will be a prayer meeting service held at the school house every Saturday night. Mr. and Mrs. R. L. White visited relatives in Cherokee county Sunda>. Mr. J. O. Singley, principal of Kelly's school, his assistant, Miss Tena Wise, and Mr. Fonder Little were visitors at the home of the writer Sunday afternoon. Mr. Leatha Gault, of Tennessee, who has been visiting relatives in this county will start for her home this week. Miss Myrtle Johnson, of near Jonesville, has gone to teach at Inman, S. C. Miss Clarissa Steel of Jonesville has gone to teach at Walterboro, S. C. The church members of Jonesville and New Hope churches gave to i,he preacher in charge, Rev. Justice, a fine suit of clothes and other apparel as their appreciation of love for him. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Scott, Mr. and Mrs. II. J. Ilames will go to the conference held in Spartanburg Thursday. Moxy. JONESVILLE Jonesville, Nov. 23.?Last Thursday night our town had a new experience. Something, in one respect, that it never realized before. The electric current was turned on and the town was a scene of beauty. Then there was the sweet silver light of the full moon, which lent its beauty and it really seemed that it vied with the electricity in dispensing light to an annreciative noonle. Whilo thf silver light of the moon has been dispensing its light ever since the days of Adam and Eve the electric current having created at the same time, yet it was not until the days of Benjamin Franklin in the 18th century that it began its development. There are many other useful things constructed by a kind Providence that have not yet developed, while many and varied forces that were constructed in the beginning have along during the centuries been sought and found and put into motion for the benefit of man. Some of these are the stone, coal, kerosene oil, gasoline and a few that I will only mention. Mrs. Elliott Farr died at her home here last Friday and the remains were buried in the family plot beside her husband, David A. T. Farr, who preceded her to the grave about ten years since. Mrs. Farr was the last member of a prominent family of the county. She leaves three daughters, Mrs. I). B. Free, Jr., Mrs. Marvin M. Scott ind Mi?s Grace Farr. Only son, W. R. Farr died about four years since. Mrs. Farr was about 75 years of age ind was a member of the Presbyterian church. The funeral services were conducted at the home by her pastor, Rev. W. S. Porter.
