Our friends are invited to Union the , night of the election to tret the news , of the election. We will trive our usual t trood bulletin service on that nitrht. i If you have not already made up ( your mind as to how you will vote in * the comintr primary, you must have been deaf and blind. Never before have the people listened more attentively to the speakers. Never before t has there been so much of speech- t makintr and advertising on the part of the candidates. More than thirty negroes, recently ( carried from Alabama to work for a i manufacturing company in Wyan iottc, near Detroit, Mich., have been forced to leave. A committee of white m?n, < it is said, pave the negroes 24 hours 1 in which to leave. There is no uouht ' of the fact that the people of the South ( know best how to handle the nemo J problem; and, it may be said :n pass injr. that the people of the South ::re the best friends the negroes have. So 5 long as the "social equality" agitator f is lacking, we are able to get along 1 with the negroes very well Nowhere in the world is he given the considers- 1 tion he is given in the South. And no- ' where else is he as free from molestation if he does but learn to keep his . place. ( We publish elsewhere in this issue ? a comparison of the whiskey cases in 1 the mayor' court the firt seven months ( in 11)15 with the first seven months in 191(5. The result of the comparison ?s 4 enough to silence the charge so often J made that prohibition does not prohibit. It is prohibiting more than ( three-fourths, and that is more than j. most laws do. Much of the good re- ? suit attained, however, is owing to the sustained and faithful efforts of 5 Mayor Wharton, the city council and ^ the police force. They have been on ^ the job and they should receive the ^ endorsement of every good citizen in j the community. It is a hard battle j they are waging and they deserve the pyn rpccp/l nnnvntrol ?1/1 ? ? r. ..j/j/iuyoi v?jl every seil-re* 3 specting man and woman in Union. F Suppose, good citizen, you give these \ gentlemen a word of encourajament. it SITUATION WELL IN HANI). p Dr. S. G. Sarratt has just returned Q from the Isle of Palms, Charleston, j where he went to represent the city of ^ Union in the conference on Infantile Paralysis. Dr. Sarratt says that while jy there are some sixty or seventy cases ^ of the disease in the State, it is not j, anticipated that it will become epidemic. There is no case in our county or city now. Should the situation with regard to the disease become alarming, more drastic measures will fce used by the health authorities. It j, is proposed that the city schools he j allowed to open on Sept. 18, but the ^ citizens are urged not to allow the younger children to be exposed unnecessarily. j The health department is very anx- ^ ious to have all the premises cleaneo up thoroughly. All weeds and trash ^ collected will he hauled off promptly 4 if you will notify the health officer. ^ Nothing presents disease more effectively than having everything about the home clean. (j PURCHASES UNION LAUNDRY. ( y Mr. and Mrs. L. F. Jackson of Wilmington, N. ('., have bought out the ^ Union Steam Laundry and took charge of the concern Wednesday. They will both give their personal attention to the laundry. Mr. M. Fred, who has had charge of the laundry for some ti ne will open a pressing club. c 1 * a CITY SCHOOLS OPEN SEPT. 18. 0 7 t: The city schools will open Monday, j, Sept. 18. The colored school will open 0 one week thereafter. This decision was reached by the board of trustees, and unon the recommendation of city board of health. It is not thought necessary to close the schools on account of the infantile paralysis sdare. (~ There is no case in Union or Union n county and it is thought to be all j, right to have the schools open on time. ^ e Rev. A. B. Kennedy, pastor of Tabernacle Baptist church in Columbia, is visiting relatives in Union this ^ week. Miss Marie Blankenship of Fort Mill will arrive Friday to spend sometime with the Misses Blankenship or. f Route 2 e NFANTILE PARALYSIS Ul'MOR. 'J Last Sunday, August 20th, a person eported to the mayor of the town ve had a case of infantile paralysis n our family. ^\n officer was promptv sent to investigate, but when hc> irrived the entire family were away p rom home. Next morning we were asked about t by more than one. Finally Mr. Colon rang one of our neighbors, asking f the report was true. She let me mow of it. so I made inquiry for the v lame of the person sending in such (j i damaging report. I am not surorisad that a person should want heir name withheld as the rumor was mrely false. Knowing, too, it was a eflection on ouc honor to try to con eal such a case if we had one. A >rious charge on our physician, who ^ rns heen treating one of our children j( "or malaria. A damaging charge igainst Hill Crest dairy to send out nilk handled by people with a con- ^ agious disease in their family. I a eally think the person who spent a r?art of the Sabbath inventing and cir- j ulating such a report could have ^ ;pent the time more profitably by at- j, ending religious services and reading ' he Bible. As the public is asking daily if the eport is true I hope the ones who {i lid not read it in Progress will see g his. Mrs. R. E. Lawson. ^ MANAGERS OF ELECTION. s I Managers of the primary election > be held the last Tuesday in August, ^ \ugust 29th. Polls to open at 8 a. ni.

Traxler, can- I idate for Congress. Every state- I lent in it is a matter of news, and a I tatement of fact, but if any news- I aper printed it as news it mipht be I ccused of "parti/.anship." I By the frank and hopeless confes- I ion of Sam Nicholls' own supporters, I "raxler will carry Union county by at I east five hundred votes. Greenville I ounty will po for him as a matter of I ourse, for in his home county men I now his ability, earnestness, enerpy fl nd frank fairness. Laurens county I rill split fairly even, by all accounts, fl ut Spartanburp county?Nicholl's fl iome county?which went for Nicholls fl ast time by only 192(1 votes, will this fl ear pive Traxler a vote for every one fl t pives Nicholls. fl And why should that not be the fl ase? Isn't it just and clean and fair fl nd ripht that Nicholls should be de- I eated? Why in the name of common I ense should he be reelected ? What fl las he ever done? I Sarr promised to come down from fl Vashirpton and face the music he- 1 oie election day. But he keep5 on I ostponinp his cominp. Why? I In answer to letters and telegrams I e says that he is too busy. Put I ther congressmen have found time I o come home. Is Sam the only one I f the lot who is busy? He wired a fl riend in Union that he was "busy," I nd that same day he played third I iase for the Democrats in a pame of fl all with Republicans. They say he E nade a pretty pood third baseman, fl oo. But conpressmen are not elected fl o play ball. If he had time to play I hird, why can't he find time to come I own and tell us where he stands on I his matter of Bleaseism? fl Blease men write and wire Sam, fl skinp him to explain why he will not I ome out in the open on this matter. I iam replies that he is out of State fl iditics now. Why is he out? Has his I ead swelled so badly that he feela fl ipper than his State and his friends? fl le found it easy to say where he stood fl /hen Blease was povernor and Sam fl /anted pardons for clients. He found | : easy to say where he stood when e wanted the votes of Blease men in I he first primary when he first ran I or congress. He found it easy to B romise to desert Blease in exchange or the support of a daily newspaper i the second primary. Why can'^y^ JE ell where he stands now? Is he try^ ig to ride the fence and pull votes rom suckers in both camps? Who likes a straddler, anyway? S THE WORLD GETTING BETTER? j resident Wilson and Many Noted Thinkers Give Their Views. Is humanity in the grip of evil? hat question so big and daring has ommanded the earfeful thought of he nation's foremost thinkers. Govrnors, congressmeen, even President Wilson himself were asked for their iews, and the many and conflicting eplies received by Louis Tracy prove hat this important question received he careful thought of those who were sked. President Wilson says: "The powrs of evil are not a? strong as we rould think," while other replies are ot as optimistic. From these replies, I^ouis Tracy, an uthor and correspondent of intemaonal reputation, has taken his theme, reaving around them a master-plot, he like of which has never before een nresented on the srreen entitle! The Grip of Evil." A story that reveals the real side f humanity in a style so gripping nd thrilling, the finished pictures ave commanded the universal praise f the country's leaders, and thinkig people.
