FRIDAY, MAY 12, 1916.
Rumor has it that one of the rura
telephone lines in the county has hai
to have a ten minutes tim
limit put on users of the same, owinj
to the long-drawn-out courting con
versations going over the line. W
respectfully recommcd a like rule fo
eM rural lines.
The Edisonia Theatre will hav
"The Battle Cry of Peace" Wednes
day and Thursday, May 24 and 2?
This master picture was shown b;
the Edisonia several months ago, Un
ion being the first point in the Stat
to procure the production. The pric
advertised then was $1.00. The ad
mission will be 25 cents this time, ani
it is worth the money. It was wort'
the dollar. If you have any doub
upon the question of national pre
paredness, you will find this pictur
most convincing.
There is considerable di'scussio
throughout the State upon the ques
tion of abolishing the county to conn
ty campaign in the State primarj
We do not agree with those who ad
\ orate doing away with the institu
tion. Let the people hear, see an
judge for themselves. I he tact tha
some obstreperous individuals hav
abused these meetin-3 by their hars
language and unfair methods prove
nothing. The thing to do is to fore
all candidates to conform to parlia
mentary rules in debate and to fore
each one to eliminate the habit o
villifyi'ng a competitor.
WHAT WILL WHISKEY ADVO
CATES SAY?
The report comes from Atlanta
Ga., that on Monday morning, for th
f^t time in 50 years not a singl
recorder upo
tiitf charge of drunkenness. Heretc
fore the average has been around 2
defendants each Monday morning. W
respectfully suggest to the defamer
of prohibition the experience of th
recorder's court in Atlanta Monda;
morning. While passing, we beg t<
call attention to the conditions righ
here in Union. The streets and th
police courts reveal most convincingly
the fact that Union has lost nothing
but, on the other hand, gained much
by the coming of prohibition. Unioi
is nearer to being a "dry" town toda;
than at any time in its history.
WHERE ARE THE BOYS?
At the recent closing exercises o
the West Springs High school Count
Superintendent of Education Jas. U
H/inn eAAirtir t l? ? i \rni>n 1 \
i" t VI II ^ liutl IIIVI U ?? VI U II >
young ladies to graduate and not on
boy, said: "Where are the boys?
Last year in a considerable sizei
class graduating from the High schoo
here, there was not one boy. We hea
of several other schools in the count;
showing the same sad lack of th
proper proportion of hoys in th<
graduating classes.
What is the trouble? For it is :
"trouble," a serious situation. Wha
has become of the boys? Why d<
they drop out? This vital matte
needs careful looking into. Will Mr
Hope write us the explanation am
the cure?

We see from the papers that Columbia
is to organize a bird club. In
advocating the organization the editor
of The State says:
"There must be food, water, safety
and building site for the home of his
little family. This will mean on the
, part of the community an active interest
in bird baths, nesting boxes and
planting for food, nesting sites and
' cover, and more than all else, the
. elimination of the homeless cat, the
reduction in the numbers of other
cats, the destruction of the English
* sparrow and the disappearance of the
) slingshot and airgun."
' My experience has been that the
English sparrow, villainous little pest,
j took possession of the bird houses as
fast as I built them this spring.
Mocking birds, cat birds, red headed
pecker woods and even blue jays fled
away before the multitudinous tribe
- of English sparrows. If I am not
il mistaken one bird house is about
[} to be inhabited by a mocking bird.
e If so, my ten bird houses will amply
vnnoir tm n -f f V?n loVinr nf flioir _
. struction. But the English sparrow
e must go, else the other birds will not
r come?in any great numbers.
ONE STEP FURTHER,
e The movement in the matter of
- the proposed electric railway connecti.
ing Union, Clinton, Laurens, Spartany
burg and intermediate towns ad
vanced one step here Tuesday when
e the finance committee was instructed
e to apply for a charter. There was
- considerable enthusiasm manifested
d in the meeting. The matter is yet
h in the uncertain stage, however. Unt
ion, when it comes to the final issue,
i- will do her part, even as she did in
e the subscription to the preliminary
survey. One of the correspondents
for the daily papers sent out the fol11
lowing enlightening news item:
"Spartanburg, May 0.?The sum of
i- $.1,000 has been raised by the citizens
j. of Spartanburg as their part, of the
|. $11,000 required for the preliminary
, survey of the proposed Spartanburgj
Clinton electric line. That more
interest is being taken in the propositi'on
than ever before is indicated by
e the fact that this sum has been raised
n within a few days, and that unless
is the line is completed there will be no
j prospect or any return irom it. a
t_ meeting will be held in Union next
,, Tuesday for the purpose of arousing
interest there in the proposition."
We respectfully refer this Rip Van
Winkle to the records. Union sent
u her delegation to the Cross Anchor
meeting two weeks ago with $1750
subscribed to the preliminary survey
i, ?$250 more than asked for. Spare
tanburg reported at that meeting
e nothing. This is to keep the records
n straight. We may yet have to send
>- missionaries to Spartanburg.

If diplomatic relations are severed
between the United States and Germany
as a result of the kaiser's methods
of undersea warfare, it really
0 means eventual war between the two
y countries, followed by the immediate
:, seizure by Uncle Sam of the $J?0,i,
000,000 worth of German passenger
tl | vessels now lying in our harbors.
y Xon-intercourse, in the sense of ter|
initiating diplomatic relations is a
I usual, hut not inevitable prelude to
I war?hut, as a matter of fact, de|
elares Coudert, "between great counf
tries, such a situation is usually followed
by war.
j "Now let us trace the probable pro'
gross of relations between the United
e j States and Germany after the adope
tion of the policy of non-intercourse.
"In the event of such a rupture be(1
tween Germany and the United States
,1 ?if it went no farther?there would
r not necessarily he any chancre in the
status of Americans in Germany or
of Germans in America. Our diploe
matic representatives, before leaving

of our citizens and the
