That's a f very good price, it seems to us. There was a good frost in Union Thursday morning, October 12. That is, we have heard that there was. We had to take the other fellow's word for it. Thanks, kind friends, many thanks for the hearty response you are giving our "S. O. S." call. It cheers a fellow's heart to feel that in the hour of need he has some 3.000 souls to look to for aid. It feels good! Germany is again proving her supremacy in the matter of submarines. Think of it! Germany's underseas crafts singing vessel within a few miles of our shores. And she is with in her rights, at that. Friday, Nov. 10, is Children's Day < at the County Fair. The schools j throughout the county will have holi- t day and a large attendance is expected for that day at the Fair. Great s plans are on foot for their amuse- : ment. I Vote for Union county's representatiye .in the contest for queen of theHarvest Jubilee. Miss Louisa Duncan, No. 3, is Union's contestant. Clip thecoupon and mail it to the Beauty ] Contest Committee, Chamber of Commerce, Columbia, or send them to The Times office and we will forward them. The votes must be in Columbia by October 18, Wednesday of next week. ! I Mr. G. T. Gault, in his letter this 5 week says: "D. L. Gault tells me , !he sent a card to The Union Times ; thanking the voters for the support < they gave him during the recent pri- ' maries, but for some cause it has J never appeared in The Times." Mr. ] Gault will have to rub his glasses a < bit. If he will examine last week's ' paper he will find that we did publish J the notice. ( < I* : .. A ~ L a U ~ A L ~ ,1 ! it i?s tu ue nopeu tiiat cvcryuouy will lend a helping hand in the matter of promoting the county fair this year. The legislature appropriated $500 to be given in premiums this year. There will be no doubt about the payment of the promised premiums, therefore. A neat and attractive fair book has been gotten out. If you are interested, call upon B. F. Alston, Jr., Union, for a copy of the premium list. I.et everybody lend a hand and help make this fair a success in every way. We have been making a study of the Federal Farm Loan Act, and unless our conclusions are at fault this movement is going to work a revolution in our agricultural conditions. One point that appears to us fixed is that it is going to be an easy matter for a young man with a few hundred dollars to buy a good farm and have a long time to pay for it at a low rate of interest. One thing that has deterred many a young man from making the venture has been the time element. He feared that the loan could not be extended sufficient length of time to make him safe. The government provides in the act that the loan is to run lrom b to 4U years and ^ that the rate of interest is not to exceed 6 per cent per annum. ^ In the 215 years of its existence j Yale University has awarded 114,092 deKrees. Automobiles cost the people of the r United States over $000,000,000 every t year. c If his own government won't look ^ out for him after the war there is j no reason why the British or German soldier shouldn't come over here, marry the widow of a Civil War Vet- a eran and draw a pension from Uncle n Sam.?Boston Transcript.

Dear Editor: I have been thinking it a good plan ? o advertise Union, if we can get the ' Chamber of Commerce, the city of * Union, and other parties to contribute j some money to offer as prizes for the ' >est displays of stores during the bounty Fair. ' Lots of people are coming for the ' Pair, and will, of course, think and ( speak well of our city, if we can Ret j the merchants interested in displaying 1 :heir goods well. We know that, as a rule, merchants j ievote more time to wait for custom- j ?rs to come to buy their wares and * >verlook the possibilities to be found in displaying their goods. To displav s to attract public attention, as well 1 is to produce more business, and, in f l roundabount way, to advertise for r >ur city, too. Not to advertise is the 1 sure way to adverse conditions. At- 1 tractive show windows afford one of ( the best ways of advertising. 1 To help others, we will help our- . selves, too. And I believe the above * sueirestion will be worth while. "Union suits." Boost, Union is ) Dooming! Yours for a live and progressive ? Union, * >, Herbert R. Smoak. ' BOLL WEEVIL*AT OUR DOOR.

Expressing the opinion that the I farmers of South Carolina must wage J i determined fight if they are to } Dvercome the ravages of the boll wee- 1 cil and prevent the business demor- < lli/.ation that is sure to follow the 1 coming of the hpest, Joe Sparks, mem- ] :>er of the South Carolina boll weevil i rommission arrived in Spartanburg 1 this morning after a trip through < Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and 1 Georgia. The boll weevil has ap- < iroached in Georgia to within 50 r wiles of the South Carolina line and t die entomologist of the United States I lepartment of agriculture are of the c opinion that the pest will cross the i South Carolina line before the end of s the year.

When the weevil arrives the c 'armers, merchants and business men a nust not Ret cold feet. They must s teen their heads cool and their feet t varm.

"Buffalo Buffalo, Oct. 9.?The Buffalo mi/1 >peratives were made to wear very >road smiles last week on seeing noices posted in various departments )f the mill that the pay had been in:reased from ten to twenty per cent, jeginning October 2nd. This was an rgreeable surprise and the increase .vas entirely voluntary and none of ;he employes had asked for such, of course they are glad to get it, but <nowing the heavy damage to their sower plant at Neal Shoals a few nonths ago, caused by the unusual leavy and continuous rains and the 'normous cost of replacing the dam, ;ogether with the other expense, the >peratives did not have the heart to nake such a demand at this time, hough it will be remembered that dr. O. F. Bennett, general manager tf the Union-Buffalo Mills company, n a statement given out soon after issuming control of the mills that ust as soon as the depressed condiion of the mill would warrant an inrease would be eiven without the isking, and now the mills in the South ire experiencing the most prosperous imes since 1900 and realizing the act that it cost almost twice as much o live as it did a few years ago. es>ecially the increase prices of all foodtiffs is noticeable and : i view of these acts he gave fjls employees the ben fit of the prosperous times. Then igain, Mr. Bennett ver- pleasantly iurprised the night force which has een working at night since the power vas cut off with an extra bonus of en per cent to be paid when the night vork is discontinued. Since coming lere in 1913, Mr. Bennett has made nany friends. He is kind, courteous ind polite to every one and deservedv popular with his thousands of emdovees.

We have a travelling man, pent several days here last week, adertising a line of goods, says he had anvassed all the mill towns in the 'a/olinas and this one was the best hat he had yet visited. The premses were clean and perfectly sanitary, he houses were nicely furnished, and :ept neat and tidy, and the operaives gave evidence of orosperity and ontentment, which was attributed argely to good wages, kind treatment ,nd accommodating mill officials. Mr. J. C. Crocker, Sr., one of our ldest and most highly respected citiens, died very suddenly last Saturay morning about fi o'clock at the ome of his daughter, Mrs. Lonnie lumner, on Drug Store street. Mr. 'rocker was an industrious operaive in the Buffalo mills. He worked ? 'riday night and had just returned i rom his work and was sitting in ront of the fire a^oarentlv well and i earty.
