FRIDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1915. 1 1
More and more it appears that President
Wilson is a man of clear
vision, and his policy of preparedness
for the purpose of defense, is accepted
Ly the great majority of the people
of the United States.
The government is to begin an investigation
into the cause of the soaring
price of gasoline. We hope the
work will bring results, for year after
next, if we have no bad luck, we
purpose buying an automobile or a
Ford.
The moving picture, "The Battle
Cry of Peace" shown here in the Edisonia
theatre Wednesday and to be |
shown Thursday afternoon and even- ;
ing, is a thrilling and convincing argu- j
ment for national preparedness. It is j
a most forceful and thrilling revela- j
tion of our real condition of unpreparedness.
The price charged for ad- !
mission is one dollar?and it is worth
it.
We know very little about the sei- !
ence (or should we say art?) of I
cooking, having been confined to the i
stewing of oysters or the frying of
fish in the culinary department of human
life. But the plan of the management
of the electric light plant to
furnish power for cooking purposes
looks good to us. The management
claims that it can be done at as low
cost as can cooking by gas. It will be
a real advance for Union. There is
not another such plan in operation in
the South, we believe.
We trust that Secretary Kennedy
will meet with cooperation in his efforts
to stimulate the business inter
, - ests of Union in the establishment of
small enterprises. Union now has
quite a number, among them being a
flower mill, laundry, ice plant and
corn mills, and there should be others, i
One thing about it, we have power,
and power at a low price. If the '
Chamber of Commerce will make thor- '
ough investigation and create a demand
for the coming of such small enterprises
as will, with wise management,
prove remunerative, and the
capital can be assembled here, it will i
be a great move forward for Union.
THE QUESTION OF GOOI) CITI- \
ZENSHIP. . ;
The dispensary for Union county
and for the State at large has, by an !
overwhelming majority of the citi- '
zitis, Deen voted out. Many predict
the multiplication of blind tigers and j
a general state of lawlessness. We (
do not believe the prediction will
come true. We believe the lawless t
spirit is on the wane in this State, t
Our people, at heart honest and 1
worthy, desire purity in citizenship ^
and there is more than ever a determination
to have the law prevail. We 'j
believe that many who voted for the
retention of the dispensary, and voted (
honestly, will give their earnest sup- *
port to the enforcement of the law
against blind tigers. De feel sure, *
also, that there are fewer men than ^
ever before, who are willing to de- t
grade themselves by engaging in the
illicit sale of whiskey. There never 1
has been any great percentage of our
people willing to sell liquor, legalized
or illicit. The few, in this case, as *
often happens, has overrun the will
of the many. After all, it is a question
of good citizenship, and we sincerely
believe that the maioritv. the -
very large majority of our people are ''
for (rood citizenship.
HAPPY NEW YEAR! f
The Times editor wishes to extend J
hearty good wishes to all fbe readers J
of the paper. May the year 191*5 |
bring to each of you abounding pros- t
perity and great happiness. For all f
good wishes extended us, we are sin- c
cerely grateful; for every kindly crhi- *
cism, we are thankful; for all unjust '
and insincere fault-finding we car;
not a rap! By the grace of God, by
the help of true friends and by ou- f
own strong determination we purpos- f
ing the making of a papej: worthy the r
confidence and support of good men
and true. We hope to produce the 1
best paper we have ever made. We 1
believe in growth, advancement and (
neatnesR, and we purpose doing our f
best.
V
*
With good will to all, with malice
towards none, we begin the new year.
With faith in God and courage in the
right, we enter the year 1916. No
human mind foresees what a year may
bring forth. How many reverses,
triumphs or drawn battles the year
will bring, we know not. Thankful
are we tha tthe future is veiled. To
live one day at a time, meet each requirement
as it faces us, is all required
of us. Let us then bravely
face the days of a coming year. Let
us go forth valiantly; let us battle
as becometh men.

an elegant supper consisting of everything
^ood to eat that the appetite

it. Those present feel indebted
to Mr. Hundley and his good wife
for the rare treat and evening's enjoyment.

holidays with his mother at Salley.

OAKLAND
Oakland, Dec. '29.?The Sunday
school Christmas tree, which was held
it Oakland school house last Saturday
ifternoon at 'I o'clock, was a grand
success. Despite the stormy weather
he house was filled beyond its seating
apacity with both old and young peo>le
and the whole afternoon was spent
n a most joyful way. The tree was
>eautifu11y decorated and, too, it was
uirdened with hundreds of very beauiful

the proper meaning of the birth of
Christ, and was celebrated in a sane
and reverent manner, and not in
hilarity.
The Christmas exercises at both the
Baptist and Methodist churches were
largely attended and thoroughly en
joyed. Each one rendered their parts
well and acquitted themselves in a
most creditable manner.
A matrimonial wave invaded ou.*
quiet and peaceful village during the
holidays and robbed the younger set

Smith, Mr. A. Z. Rodgers and Miss
