The rains throughout the countj have brought comfort to the heart: of many. It was a bit late, but nol A 1 _ A _ 1 / ll A 1-i 100 iaie, ana ior mai iei us givi thanks. It is a great comfort to a\vak< these spring mornings and hear the song of the mocking birds. That if much sweeter music than the grow of a German howitzer. The Edisonia Theatre has on "Th< Battle Cry of Peace." Thursday afternoon and night, May 25, will b< the last day the picture is to be shown in Union. Whether you an for "preparedness" or against th* idea, you should see this superb picture. It is a masterpiece and ma> be seen for the small admission fe< of 25 cents. It is worth a dollar oi any man's money to see this picture Woodrow Wilson will be renomi nated by the Democrats, of that there is little doubt. And it will be ar honor worthily bestowed. He will no only be renominated, he will be reelected. His defamers are like the man withouf the wedding garment speechless. It has fallen to the lol of perhaps no other man to face se many and such grave problems a; have come to President Wilson since he has occupied the exalted positior to which he has been chosen. Noi has any man shown a greater degree of wisdom in solving these problems These United States will again cal Woodrow Wilson to be the head of the nation. PUBLIC PIGS. One cannot refrain from expressing the disgust occasioned by the bad be' ! havior of thoughtless people at pub ^ lie gatherings. The noisy hand-clap ping, the measured, simultaneous stamping of feet, the constant talking of people while some performance is going on is more than disgusting, it brands one as a pig. There is nothing smart about such a process. 1 does not take intelligence beyond the attainment of a brute to carry out such a program. It defeats the will of the many who go to hear, not tc be seen. If these long-eared specimen could but see themselves as others see them! But that is impossible. One of the evils, along wit! the many good things of democracy is that a pig may behave as such and there is little protection from his noisy interference. A LESSON ON GOOD ROADS. If there has been any doubt in the public mind as to the value of sandclay roads, this doubt has been dispelled by the experiences of the travelling public. Throughout the count} where the road beds have been widened, drained and surfaced wit! sand or top soil, the rains have had little effect upon the roads There are many stretches of excellent roadways throughout the county that demonstrate the truth of this statement. It is to be hoped that the county authoriies will continue to construct such roads. It will be nc great while before practically all the roads in the county will be in fairly good shape. If those who opposed the road bond issue would be willing tc nave a smaii additional levy lor roao purposes it would not be long before we would have good roads. We do not spend sufficient money now tc maintain and build good roads. The sum, considering the (500 miles ol roads in the county is pitifully small ?too small. TILLMAN ABJURES OLI) TIME FAITH Washington, May 20.?"I do not want my share of the stealing in this bill; and while South Carolina has items in it announcing to $.100,000 I shall vote against it and hope it will not become law." In these words Senator B. R. Tillman began his remarks on the senate floor when he arose today to say that he would oppose the passage of the pending rivers and harbors bill. "We need the money so much more for more important things that it is criminal in my mind to hesitate for one moment or to discuss this bill at all," Senator Tillman continued. The senior senator then said that if the bill should pass $40,000,000 would be wasted. THE WM. WALLACE CHAPTER. The William Wallace chapter, U. D. C., will meet Monday afternoon, May 29th, at 4 p. m. at the residence of Mrs. C. T .Murphy. The hostesses serving with Mrs. Murphy are Mrs. J. W.

Mr. John R. Rippey died at hi: } home in Union Wednesday, May 24 i and was buried the followinp day a . Gilead church near Jonesville. [ HELP A GOOD CAUSE. The Mt. Vernon Presbyteriai church needed a new roof, so it wai covered with pood shingles at a cos " of about $-103.00. The men of th< ; neighborhood did the work free. Th< 1 Bailey Lumber company pave us s t low rate, but after payi'np what w< could, we owe about $65.00. Ou , membership is small in number an< rich in faith but not in worldly ' poods. In the praveyard at Mount Vernoi > are many who sleep their last sleejl 5 The surest way to preserve and pro ; tect these praves is to keep up th< i church for the livinp God. We ask the relatives of all who an buried there and all the friends o: this old church to aid in clearinp th< $65.00 debt.

Mr. Jeffries prefaced his re I marks by saying that if there wa< any man who ought to know a greai deal about mothers it was himself ! for in his long experience as super ; intendent of the schools he had ha< i many encounters with mothers, som< pleasant, some the reverse. Aftei speaking of the influence of th? . mother in the home, he closed his re i marks with the familiar quotation "the hand that rocks the cradle rule: the world " Mrs. Bcaty responded to the toast "Domestic Science?'It is the bountj of nature that we live but of phi' I KEEP ] A large assortment of Kloth Suits Tropical Worsted, silk li Everything in Footwear Panama and Leghorn I New Furnishings; in fa< dress up and keep kool.

Mrs. Beaty said that her situation was analogous to that of the candidate who rose to make a speech and delivered himself of the following res marks: "My friends, I am a labor, ing man and was so busy at work t that I did not have the time to write no speech, and if I had of had time to writ a speech, I wouldn't of had time to of learnt it."

On it the health i and bodily comfort of the home des pends. Rev. Mr. Jones responded to "Home, - 'The place where you are treated best and grumble most.'" Mr. Jones - said in part that during his experience in the early days of his 1 try he had had ample OPR', , to see into the homes of w,' , pie add was of the opinion tnfil domestic science was a sadly neglected - art in many of them. '?* He brought out the fact that many - are good cooks by inheritance but all - may become so through proper training and experience. The decorating of the rooms and tables was done entirely by the cla.-s, the menu prepared by them, and the i dainty and attractive little bon bon . baskets filled with mints and put at s the place of each guest, were their t handiwork. Mrs. Ileaty was warmly congratu. lated upon the success of the enteri tainment and the excellent progress marlfl hv hpr clnse nc pvidonppfl lur ; their cooking.
