THE BOY IN KHAKI. All eyes are turned upon him. As he walks alonp the stree', His proud set head uplifted, The firm tread of his feet. His arms from belt depending. His hat with jaunty flare, His soul in him evultinj* As all turn round to stare. I 'Tis not grim side of warfare Its suffering and its death, The hardships of its living, The hot flames of its breath. But all its pomp and glory, j In him we see arise, Which make the boy in khaki A he -o in our eyes. May peace be still our portion Is prayer that comes from all. That on the field of battle Not one of these shall fall. But if his country needs him We know he'll fate defy, And go?our boy in khaki? To conquer or to die. ?Baltimore American. "NO MAN LIVETH TO HIMSELF." The dread disease, infantile paraly- 1 sis, which is working such fearful ravages throughout the country, serves to illustrate one of the fundamental principles of society. It shows that interdependence, not independence, is the law that must prevail. The slum dweller may receive little thought from the dweller in the fashionable section of the community. But, dread disease, originating in the slum, travels far, even to the door of the more fortunate neighbor. The welto-dc neighbor must interest himself in his less fortunate neighbor in order to protect himself. He cannot afford to be dead to the needs of the lowly for should he assume such an attitude, he contributes to his own undoing. "No man liveth to himself." Tito Vinvnn wrAiiornf Inr tlio rainc nnrl . floods throughout Union county has put upon our people, all of them, a heavy burden. Crops have been damaged greatly. Bridges have been destroyed. Roads have been seriously impaired. But, with all this, so far as we have been able to learn, not a life has been lost. That is something for which we may be profoundly thankful. We ca'n and will rebuild our roads and bridges; our farms can and will be restored, even if the present crop should be seriously injured. There is nothing to hinder us from regaining all we have lost and going on to even better things than we have ever Known. j-,et us rememuer tnat every ] day cannot be a' "winner." There I must be some defeats, some failures, some retreats. But no man with true grit and courage is whipped until he is dead. ? LET US BUILI) THE HOSPITAL. As we see it, our community will honor itself in the ;>uilding of an institution for the er.'re of the sick. It will, to our mind .be a bit of disgrace for us to fail in the enterprise, particularly now that we have made repeated efforts to perfect plans for the hospital. We must build it, and we must build soon. In this issue the present status of the enterprise is shown. Read that article and then ask yourself the question: "I)o I not owe it to myself and to my community to help this undertaking?" Make your subscription to the stock of the concern just as large as you can. Let us make one final, concerted effort, and the hospital will be no longer a drea'm, but it will be a fact, a tangible fact. Citizens of Union, one and all .come to the aid of this movement. Take at least one share of the stock, par value one hundred dollars. It will be a patriotic thing to do. And, it is a well-established fact that the institution can be conducted upon a profitable basis. "Now, or never" is the slogan of this campaign. If the Union people are unwilling to invest in such an enter- 1 prise, why, there is nothing else to do but let it die. We will then be under the necessity of pa*ying tribute to hospitals in other cities in the future as we have done in the past. But . such a condition reflects discredit upon the citizens of Union. I Salted whale meat is considered a great delicacy by the Japanese. The Chinese government is equipoing two cotton mills with American machinery. 1 NEW HOPE New Hope, July 17.?It really seems as if the sun is going to shine for us this morning, which will be welcomed by everybody after all this flood of water, but we surely ought to be thankful that it isn't any worse for reports of other sections say it has done lots of damage. The farmers surely have been in a gloomy state but hopes are that prospects will soon be better. Mr. Jeff Brown had the misfortune to lose a fine cow by being struck by lightning the other day. Mr. Justus filled his regular appoint at New Hope Sunday afternoon, at which time he delivered a forcible and inspiring sermon, which was enjoyed by all. The protracted meeting, which was to begin the 4th Suaday will be postponed to the first Sunday in Augi.st. Several visitors were at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. C Fowler Sunday.

PACOLET ROUTE 2 Pacolet, Route 2, July 17.?As there hasn't been any news from this section for several weeks I'll try to write again. A heavy rain, accompanied by a strong wind, began Friday afternoon and continued until about 12 o'clock Saturday night, doing considerable damage to crops, especially young corn. Part of the dam at Kennedy's mill and several bridges are reported washed away. The roads are washed so badly that in some places travel is impossible. The clouds do not look as if the rain is over with yet. The farmers are very much disheartened; crops are so small and the grass has got such a headway that they will not be through laying-by for sometime . yet. ' Mr. Haden Genobles of Pacolet spent Sunday night at Mr. R. R. . Coleman's. . Misses Ida and Estelle Brown were . the guests of Miss Virgie Coleman Sunday. There wasn't any Sunday school at Coleman school house Sunday afternoon on account of the inclement weather. Mrs. Berry Bland of Henrietta. N. C., is spending sometime with her son, ' Mr. T .B.

Dear Mr. Rice: I have been expecting to telegrap you every day like I promised tha we had orders to move but up to th present no orders to that effect hav been received. Since my last lette there have been rumors that we wer going to Fort Moultrie, Florida' an to California and so you can easil see how much we really do knoi about the matter. I do know, thougl that they ordered us to send our sui cases home and that everything i ready to move if necessary. The water we have been using ha not been filtered and as a natural r? suit there have been several cases c fever. Luckily none of the boys in ou company were affected.

Our company went on guard at p. m. and off on Monday at 6 p. n Sergt. Hollingsworth, with a deta of men, was ordered to guard th tent with the money for the pay ro and to allow no one to enter excep by the order of the major.

TRAVELING SALESMAN AFRAID TO LEAVE HOME j Often Had to Refuse Better e Paying Positions. r HELPED BY TANLAC e d "It would be a hard matter to estiy mate the good Tanlac has done me," n said W. Day Barrett, 2613 Burroughs i, street, one of the best known men in it Savannah. Mr. Barrett has been a s city salesman in the grocery line for sixteen years, and his enthusiasm over s Tanlac is no surprice to the many s- friends who knew of his previous con'f dition of health and now realize what r it has done for him. s "I've been a little better than a' K nervous wreck for three years," he i- continued, "and have been treated by d no less than fifteen doctors right here r fn Savannah. I was forced to turn down better paying jobs, traveling, be6 cause I was afraid to get away from i. home in this condition, and at times il I was actually afraid to go out on e the street, I was so weak and shaky. 11 "I suffered with headaches a"nd neu>t ralgia and my stomach was in bad e condition all the time and it seemed e like I couldn't get anything that would y set me in order or enable me to did gest my food. I couldn't eat any?, thing Th&t. wouldn't sour on my stome ach and give me pain or make me misd erable. I was thin and had very little y strength. In fact, the least little exertion would exhaust me and I was n hardly equal to anything. I would r have pains in my back and joints cons tinually, and would be so nervous and o exhausted at night I couldn't sleep at L all. I would often have to take stimd ula'nts to enable me to keep on going, e "One of the doctors who treated me k suggested that I try Tanlac and see what it would do in my case, and bei sides that, a close personal friend r begged me to take it. So I started in n on it about a month ago, and I t couldn't tell you in a week how glad I am that I got it, for it's the very e thing. I haven't taken but two bottles r. I yes, but I've actually gained several >,; oounds in weight and it's simply pick e ing me up and getting me over every e one of my troubles just as fast as it y can. As I said before, there is no es8 timating the good it has dohe me. It i. is a great medicine beyond all doubt d j and I am going to keep on taking it - until there is no chance of these troubles coming back on me."

Wilburn & Son, Cross f Keys, S. C.?Advertisement. f A LETTER FROM O. K. KIRBY. (Political Advertisement) To the Voters of Union County: 1 I thought I would write you all a . few lines to let you know where I came from. I was born IVa miles . west of Jonesville up on the Forest | and when I was five years old we I- moved to the mill and I worked in the ? mill for 15 cents a day and we stayed at the mill until I was 10 years old , and we moved back to the farm and then I got to go to school. I finished , the seventh grade in a graded school. and when I was 17 years old my fath, er and mother died and I had to dig , for myself. Then I came to Jones, ville and went to work in the knitting . mill and I stayed there a good long time and I have been working in the s mill most all the time since with the > exception of two years. I ran a' truck . farm for Mr. O. A. Swygert. I don't deem it a disgrace to work in the mill. , It is an honor to work anywhere I can make an honest living to support my family and be honest to my fellowman ord that by my being elected to the office of coroner would disgrace the good name of the office I wouldn't run, i for I wouldn't do that for anything. As far as my opponents are concerned, I have nothing against them, for we are good friends and I hope we will end that way for I haven't any rocks to throw. If there are any thrown somebody else will have to ; throw them, for I am not going to, for that doesn't belong to me. I have always tried to build myself up and i not go down. I don't wa"nt you to think because I work in the mill that I can't run the job I am asking for. If I wasn't sure I could run it I would be a bad boy in asking for it but everybody that knows me knows that I can run it and I want everybody to know that I ca*n run the job. I want you to think that there are mill men in three offices now. There is Sheriff 1 J. Hay Fant, M. M. Johnson and L. . B. Godshall and they have all made pood and why can't I make pood. I just need a chabce and pive it to me , and there isn't anyone who will thank . you more than I will, i I thoupht I would write this for i there will be a lot of people that won't pet to come to the speaking and they , do pet to read the papers and you , know there are so ma"ny of us in the ; race that we won't pet to. say much t for they won't give us time to say , much. Well, I will close for this time. I . may come apain. O. K. Kirby. Union, S. C., July 12th.
