Stability is an attribute of character that is worth while. To have a determination that holds on through adverse conditions is often of far more value than is a brilliant mind that is constantly chanyinpr. Dependable is the man who is slow to change, who can endure hardships without waverin jr. i We feel sure the farmers of Union county will make no mistake if they 1 pi tin and carry out the raisi'njr of food < products upon a larjrer settle than 1 heretofore. I.ess of cotton may mean ' less money to handle, but not to keep. The raising of much cotton and the buying of corn. hay. bacon and other ( necessary articles of food for man j and beast does not mean much in the j way of profit. The trouble is that the < "outjjo" is larjjer than the "income." 1 That is always poor business. ___________ > Every member of congress from this State stood squarely with President Wilson in his policy on the ques- . ? ?r ...i , tu;.. null UI .> u i' ii i?i i n IV Udiian . i uan ?r? as it should he. To weaken the hands of President Wilson at this critical t period would he disastrous. A country united, is a country safe. A coun- i try torn hy internal dissensions is a country lost. We confidently helieve that the turn affairs have taken in congress will do more to prevent war than all the work of the peace advo- S rates has ever done.

Otherwise, it would not be a 1 tjuestion. The insurance people are e grievously put out because of the >e- s cVnt anti-compact law passed by the I legislature. Quite a number of com- ( pjanies have withdrawn from the State. Others are threatening; i< S withdraw. It is claimed by advocate? of the law that insurance was 'no I hleh. and that the association of underwriters was nothing more than a combine that fixed the price. The insirance companies claim that the as- | spciation was really for the protec- c tion of the people and at the same time pave protection to the com pa- a ni'es. The Union Chamber of Com- n nlerce, through its directors, has come out squarely for the companies. A ' irieeting has been called by them in Columbia next Tuesday. All commercial bodies, and the authorities of the , .various cities throughout the State j ihave been urged to send representa- t tives to Columbia for the conference Tuesday. We do not know who is <i "right in the contention. This much is true, however: there has been so much . interference by legislation in all mat" ers pertaining to business that in- " vested capital has been hard hit. We feel sure that radical moves such as the anti-compact law, should be carefujly weighed before being enacted s into law. There are too many laws, d The laws are too complicated. It goes without saying that the conditions confronting all invested money are becoming more and more,, intoleiable. We hope the conference in Columbia r will result in a clear understanding of just what conditions are involved in 11 the new law. True insight may help to a just solution. a If a mar. is wedded to the bottle ' would you call it his spirit wife? ^ What is the best kind of a hammer to use in nailing a lie? h ('an a man be really funny when he has a hollow voice? h ABOUT CIVIC LEAGUE. Editor Union Times: Some have been asking: Where is the Civic Leage? Waiving the question of friendliness in this inquiry, I will say: The Civic League is right here in your midst?and working, too, We have done much in the past year, and with the help and cooperation due an organization of this kind more could have been done, and more will be. Through the efforts of one member, trees have been put out where needed ?on Main street from the Baptist church to Mrs. Kant's home. The tree spaid for by property holders, labor furnished by city council. One member contributed plants from her own yard to till and make a bright attractive bed in the city park. Another member gave from her gardens shrubbery and plants for the grounds at the U. <fc (1. S. railroad sta tion. Wo distributed 50 dozen packages of flower seed last spring; these were sent us by Congressmen Lever from Washington. W e stood behind Miss Smith, the county demonstration agent, last spring, enabling her to invite and entertain the tomato club girls of the county. The city council, through Mayor Wharton, has helped us when we have called, which has been often. We are low working in the park and in the courthouse grounds. And all of this iy just a few members and with very ittle money. We need the help of every woman in the city. Contribu.ions of plants, shrubbery or seed will le gladly received and, placed in makng a start towards a "City Beauti"ul."
