One block on Main street was lighted
by the "White Way" Wednesday
evening for the first time. The effect
is very attractive. Work on the
other portions of Main street that are
to be thus lighted will soon be carried
to completion.
Join the Chamber of Commerce and
thus help Union forward. The Cham-*
ber of Commerce has done much; it
will do more, provided it gets the sup.
port of the progressive, public spirited
citizens of the community to take
hold and help. Let us ajl unite in an
effort to advance our city.
All friends of prohibition, all advocates
of law observance and all who
are interested in the moral welfare
of the community should make a
special effort to attend the meeting
Sunday morning at the First Baptist
church. Both Dr. Morrow and Dr.
Woolley are speakers of national reputation.
They are men of note and
their addresses will be of a high order.
They will, besides speaking in the
First Baptist church Sunday evening,
deliver addresses at Buffalo that afternoon.
The friends of prohibition are just
now face to face with the real crisis.
When the dispensary goes out, blind
upers wm oepm to multiply. inore
is a sure way to compass their defeat;
the pood citizens must stand together
for the enforcement of the law.
The speakers who are cominp to Union
will point the way to meet our
difficulties sanely and successfully.
Come out Sunday; you will hear something
worth while.
STAND BY YOUR CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE.
"What pood is a chamber of commerce?"
What has the Union Chamber
of Commerce ever done?" "Who
pets any benefit from the Chamber of
Commerce?" These, and many other
questions of like purport may be heard
in the land. Generally, the man askinp
the question has never risen hipher
than the purely selfish basis of action.
He is, moreover, penerally a
man who has never invested any money
in a chamber of commerce nor in
any other movement embodyinp public
spirit and public welfare. He is a man
of narrow vision and of parsimonious
spirit. All such characters are beyond
the reach of any effort that mipht be
put forth to enliphten them. They
are banaeles on the bottom of the ship
of commerce; they are like the mis
tletoe that prows and fattens on the
dyinp body that pives it life. No
word could penetrAe, no lopic convince,
no tears persuade such nippardly
souls to open up and pive
reipn to a liberal impulse that looked
*<> the peneral pood. We pass them
up as hopeless.
But there are other men, men of
earnest purpose and of broad vision,
who are not enthusiastic upon the subject.
They question the value of a
chamber of commerce. They honestly
desire to help, to cooperate, in every
movement that will promote the interest
of the community. They#desire
to have their town a pood town in
which to liven They have, time and
time again, contributed to and worked
for whatever they thoupht would
prove of real advancement to the community.
But the past year was a tryinp
year. They found that with almost
superhuman effort they were
able to make "buckle and tonpue
meet." Expense of operation went
straipht on; income dropped to half,
even lower in many cases. To do business
was to endure severe strain.
Such men, keyed up to the last pitch,
bravely strivinp day after day, finally
developed "raw nerves." Competition,
carried to the extreme, broupht
nuuui uissenuons, Mistrust, a morula,
sullen state of mind. And let it he
said that the writer is speaking out
of the fullness of his own experience.
The iron may he heated so hot that it
is destroyed. It is hard to cheerfully
subscribe twelve dollars, twenty-fou.
dollars or one hundred dollars to any
public organization when the weekly
payroll is bigger than the weekly income.
It is difficult to have faith when
disaster stares one in the face. Yet,
a sane view of the matter leads to the
conclusion that it is at just such a
moment that one gets the best returns
from the exercise of such faith.
To the men who are struggling, to
the men who honestly desire to make (
our city a pood place in which to liv>.,
we say: Come to the support of your
Chamber of Commerce. Let all pull
together and pull upward. Let us j
enter into an agreement one with an- ?
other to give money, time, energy and ,
good will to our Chamber of Com- i
merce. It is the one public institution '
that may with benefit accept the in- 1
fluence and help of every good citizen. '
Subscribe to the support of the in- j
stitution. Speak a good word for it. |
If it has not measured up to your
ideal in the past, come in and help it i
to reach your ideal. Do not kill one i
of the best agencies Union has for advancing
the common good.

EXCELSIOR TEAM THERE FIRST.
Union, S. C., Dec. 1, 1915.5
Rev. L. M. Rice,
Editor Union Times:
Dear Sir:
I notice in the last issue of Progress
where the Union fire department
made 41 miles per hour on last
Sunday night in going to the fire at
W. G. Gregory's store in South Union.
I wish to call to the attention
of the author of this article that the
Excelsior fire department had a stream
of water playing on the fire five minutes
before the Union department got
nn 1 hp inh f enn nncn ho u'ill kot/n
something to say about their time on
Dec. 1 when Mr. F. (J. Gossett's residence
was destroyed by fire. I wish
to state that we met the Union fire
department on about half way ground
with a hose reel propelled by hano
and had a stream playing on the Are
long before the Union fire department
with their 44 miles per hour
and their $5,000 fire truck.
Mr. Editor, if the Excelsior fire department
had an equipment like those
boys there would not be so many
buildings totally destroyed by fire.
I am just giving this out that honor
may be given where honor is due.
It. W. Strange.

Countv Hoard Education,
J. II. Hope, Chairman. '
OMMENDS UNION
COUNTY SCHOOLS.
(Continued from page 1)
ng State aid under the Rural Graded
School Law. The Rural Graded School
\et provides $200 or $.'>00 to a school,
according to enrollment and teaching
force. This appropriation is contingent
upon the voting of a 4-mill
:ax. Instead of one rural gradev.
school the past year Union might have
lad 15 or 20. The result would have
aeen a considerable lengthening of the
average school term and a decided
increase in the per capita expenditure
in the county.
Your acquaintance with the conditions
in Union county because of your
long residence and teaching experi
ence in the county made it possible
Cor you to assume readily the duties
of county superintendent of education.
It was gratifying in the extreme to
observe the recent marked improvements
in the county, especially the
new buildings. Your efforts to secure
for the people of the county the benefits
of State appropriations under the
Rural Graded School Act and the
Term Extension Act can not be too
highly commended. The increase in
the number of applications for State
;iid this year is evidence of your ac*
hvily.
In this day of school progress practically
all of the time of the county
superintendent of education is consumed
with these business details.
Trustees and patrons must be informed
of the benefits to be derived
from State appropriations. The county
superintendent is the person in the
county to give Jthem this information.
Besides, these details bring to the office
an immense amount of correspondence
and clerical routine. The
time has come, therefore, when nearly
all of the time, of a conscientious
county superintendent in a county like
Union is consumed with the businesr
side of the office.
During my visits to the several
schools I was impressed with the need
of county school supervision. There
are some young inexperienced teachers
that need the advice and assistance
of a supervising teacher. Theri
is great need in the county of unifying
all the teaching forces of the county
for educational progress. This can
come only by close supervision of the
class room instruction and by thorough
organization of the teaching
forces of the county through the
County Teachers' Association and otherwise.
It is impossible for one person
as county superintendent to attend
to the business side of the office
and at the same time to give the supervision
of the teachers that is needed.
It is my conviction, therefore,
that no step could be taken in Union
county that would more greatly further
the school interests of the coimty
than the employment of a county
ervising teacher. --.There ave^aa4(MI|
in the county who, by training nrd
experience, are well qualified for this
work. It is an investment that would
yield large returns in manhood and
womanhood in future years.
I wish to express my appreciation
of the many kindnesses shown me during
my visit over the county and I assure
you that it will be a great pleasure
to make a return visit with the
earliest opportunity.

State Supervisor of Rural Schools.
