It does not hurt them nor ? does it help you. Some people are so busily engaged ri watching their neighbors that they have no time to attend their own afn fairs There should be some way to pro- ? cure a larger vote in our general elec- !.s t'on here. In the primary election there were more than four times the n number of votes cast that were cast tl ir the general election Tuesday. The ii possibilities of future trouble in this s: situation are not hard to see. s It seems that the crop of candi- d dates proposing to run in this county a in the approaching primary is about h complete. The number is not as large " as many predicted it would be. Fact is. the majority of men have about J' concluded that the "game is not worth ^ the price." n We refrain from complimenting the farmers on the splendid battle they are waging against "General a Green." We have orn own battles s to fight. And it is about all we care t to have on our hands at one time, s As a matter of fact, all the people we 1 know who are "worth their salt" are J in the same condition. 11 It was with sincere regret that we (> found it out of the question for us * to attend the press meeting at York a 11 this week. We feel that the cordial . invitation extended us by the York -| News and also by Mr. C. Adolphus 0 Boney, one of York's leading business o men, would have guaranteed us a q most hospitable reception. We sin- q cerely regret our inability to attend. v . is England has suffered a severe blow in the death of Earl Kitchener, sec- p retary of state for war. He perished c when the cruiser Hampshire went to ? the bottom off the Orkney islands ^ Monday night. Kitchener was per-^ r haps the one man more than any other a able to exert influence over the people of England. He held the good will c of the masses as well as of the classes, ri His death is well-nigh a calamity 1< to his country. ? The cry used to be, "Prohibition will n not prohibit." Now the cry is: "Pro- N hibition does prohibit." And the " marked improvement is felt and seen a in Union, as in other parts of the ^ State. More money for the necessities of life. Less rowdyism. Better be- ^ havior. Fewer cases in the police a court. The improvement is quite manifest. The strict enforcement of the o laws on the subject will continue to P lead to better conditions. It is when a the law is allowed to be a "dead let- a ter" that conditions will become intolerable. The strict enforcement of the law is the only way open to the people of Union and of South Carolina. L V Instead of reducing the size of The a Times, to meet the extraordinary ad- K vance in the price of raw material, C we purpose increasing, as you see by this issue. Our liberal advertising P patronage enables us to do this. And, we respectfully urge our readers to Vi look over the many choice values advertised. Our three thousand subscribers should mean fifteen thousand readers, if we count five to the family. If but a fourth of this number y read an advertisement it means that nearly four thousand people will be (j informed as to the merchants' offering in seasonable merchandise. With the liberal advertising patronage ac- u corded us and with the many re- b sponses to our "S. O. S." call, the high price of paper and the summer months have no terror to us. Our appreciation is very great. f; NEW BUILDING TO BE ERECTED. Messrs. Davis Jeffries and Jas. H. (j Hope will at an early day erect a t< large and commodious building on the f corner of Main and Church streets, and next above the express office. The a building will be of brick, with two jc large store rooms fronting Main street and apartments upstairs. The bull F ing will be equipped with all modern conveniences. MOTORED TO THE MOUNTAINS. a Mr. and Mrs. Fred Garner and sons fi and Misses Marie Garner and Louisa b Duncan motored to Hendersonville, di N. C., Sunday and spent the day. They ci made the return trip in the evening r< and reported a delightful trip. hi HE STANDARD ROAD AT LAST, g Represents an Economic Combination of Materials Used Hereto- F fore for Distinct Types of Roads. The American standard road has at T ist been devised, and when adopted enerally it will mean relief from the neconomic hit-or-miss methods at?nding present construction of mis- ~ ellaneous types of roads. It in- ^ ringes upon no patents and wipes out he costly competition between manfacturers of road materials, thus efecting a saving of $2,000 to $5,000 mile in the cost of permanent roads. The American standard road is ev- " rybody's road from the standpoint of atisfactory service and economy. It i nobody's road in the sense implied y the use of a single material. It ^ ombines the best properties of three ypes of familiar roads?the stone f the old macadam road, the asphalt f the bituminous macadam road and he Portland cement or the concrete r oad. The stone, of course, is used hroughout. The cement is used for* concrete foundation and the natural y sphalt for an asphalt macadam rearing surface. Thus each material > confined to the purpose to which it ! best adapted. _ Monroe County, IVfich., is building 40 jy liles of the new type of road for less han $12,000 a mile. And this price icludes a (5-inch concrete curb at the ides of the 5-inch concrete base. The pecifications also call for a 2-i'nch lermudez or natural asphalt maca- ? am wearing surface, so as to insure C resilient and lasting top adapted to oth horse and motor traffic. The Tichigan road will cost $2,000 a mile ;ss than an all-concrete road. The rice of the latter, according to the itest announcement of the Portland "ement Association, is now $15,000 a lile. Put the Michigan road was not deised as an experiment. A few exmples of the type were built years go, thus affording long-time tests? ome of them covering a period of ^ en years. However, experience with eparate types of roads has shown hat in the case of country roads subected to horse and motor traffic, asihalt macadam makes an ideal wear- g ng surface, while it has also been emonstrated that no foundation maerial exceeds concrete in durability _ nd strength. Hence the combination \ ot only makes for efficiency but low nitial cost and minimum maintenance, 'he latter important economics are btained through simplified methods f construction and by reducing the uantities of cement and asphalt re- uired for separate types of roads, but F ,'ithout sacrifice of stability and satifactory service. Thus there is available at last a ermanent road of approximately the I ost of water-bound macadam, a type f highway that will become still heaper when methods of construction re thoroughly standardized. These oads, with their attractive and elastic G sphalt wearing surfaces, sharply efined curb lines and unyielding conrete foundations, will become the ule, once the public learns of their >w initial cost. No desirable feature f any other type of road has been liminated. The composite road can- ~ ot be transformed into mud or dust, [o boulevard or park road presents a lore even and attractive surface. Its doption will simplify matters for the ngineer and contractor, making good esults more certain, but most im- ^ ortant is the saving to the taxpayer trough greatly reduced initial cost nd low maintenance. This state has the stone. It can btain asphalt and cement at ttie rices paid by the Michigan County, nd the composite road should be dopted as the standard type of conduction. A CALL MEETING, U.
