FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1915.
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/\

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.

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.
Mr. W. W. Huiett has closed out
lis stoie here and Mr. Wade H. Foster
ias rented and moved into the store
/acated by Mr. Huiett under the town
mil.
Miss Carolyn Ropers of Coleman,
leorpia, is the puest of her aunt, Miss
limmie Hartley at the Enterprise hoel.
Mr. J. W. Rates is danperously ill
it this writinp. The families of J.
1. Herrinp and M. M. I.awson of Coumbia
are at the bedside of Mr.
Sates.
Rev. VV. R. Justus will leave this
?veninp for Spartanburg to attend the
mnual conference, which will convene
n that city tomorrow. He poes with
i pood report, both spiritually and
inancially. At Jonesville Sunday
