Don't be a "tightwad." Tt is not so much what your com petitor is doing to your business as i is what you are doing for your busi ness that tells for success or failure The Sunday State was a "Stat Fair Edition" and was a splendii achievement. The boost to the Stat Fair must have been of great value t< that enterprise. Newspaper advertising, wisely di rectly, is the best for the money tha ,-ou can buy. If you have not trie a "live wire" newspaper, try Th Times. You will be convinced. W can "deliver the goods." We are indebted to the Columbi; State for the splendid cut of th t^ueen of the Harvest Jubilee in Co lumbia this week, which appears 01 our front page. Thanks, gentlemen for the loan of the cut. The man with a grouch is a mai to shun. He is a burden to his fam ily and a fright to his friends. H is puflfejl up with an exaggerate! opinion of himself and does not real ize that nobody cares whether he sink or swims. He carries bitterness ii his tongue and I>1 ight in his heart He paralyzes business and cuts hi own commercial throat. He is a nui sance, pure and simple. Shun him People continue to die from typhoii fever. The acceptance of a ne\ thought is a difficult feat for the average mind. The State furnishes fre the treatment that has proven almos an absolute preventive of the disease But people pro right on refusing t accept the remedy. It is wonderful!; stranpre how hard are the heads o some people. The Sardis Community Fair is t< be held Nov. 4. The enterprise is on that should be encourapred by not onl; the people of the Sardis community but by the citizens of the entire coun ty. Union county is looking up! Thesi community fairs, together with ou county fair, are making for the rapii improvement of our county. Let th good work go on! When a man does another an in justice reparation is difficult. It take a big man to make amends. It i hard to say, "I wronged you and I an willing to own it and to make all pos sible amends." It takes a big man t< be able thus to humble himself. Th small man, the pig-headed, egotisti man?he just cannot find it in hi i<> (tiiiiiii mac ne is wrong. Wo respectfully suggest that farm ers throughout the county investigat the farm loan act. The governmen has, in addition to the many othe ways of aiding the farmer, devise this new and advanced way of givini valuable assistance to those who ar ambitious, and who have pluck an< intelligence. It is a difficult thing t help any man who is too lazy or to suspicious to investigate a matter hha vitally concerns him. Our good friend, Mr. T. A. Little john, of Jonesville, presented us wit a copy of The Times dated 1855, an which was found among his father' papers after his death. We appreciat the kindness of Mr. Littlejohn, and a some future day we purpose gettinj out a series or articles composei largely of data secured from the oh files of The Times. We fancy we cai produce some most interesting readin) for our subscribers. ) We respectfully call the attention of our advertisers to the fact that transient advertising rates are higher than yearly contract rates. We must p do this in justice to ourselves and to the advertiser who stays with us - throughout the year. This rule will r be strictly observed. We will gladly go over the matter of advertising rates with any prospective adver tiser, and feel sure that we can present the subject in a most convincing ' light. We are proud of our circula tion and feel that we can demonstrate the worth of regular advertising in The Times. 0 0 The Sunday edition of the Columbia Record is one of the best industrial editions we have ever seen. It ' is a beauty in so far as mechanical work is concerned, and it is a notable contribution to the textile industries of South Carolina. It contains 114 pages besides, a handsome cover. The .cotton manufacturing industry in South Carolina is presented in splen ma iasnion. ine itecortl is to be congratulated upon this splendid issue. Gee! but it must have cost some money to pet it out! (' The Times is quite elated over the election of Miss Louisa Duncan to be Queen of the Harvest Jubilee in Co^ lumbia this week, for Miss Duncan was the Union county candidate and the candidate of The Times. She was chosen by an overwhelming majority. e Union county voting heavily for her j as did quite a number of other counp ties in the State. We feel quite conu fident that the Harvest Jubilee celebration will have no need to be ashamed of their queen, for Miss Dun- , 4 - can is a young woman in every way t qualified to fill the high position. She d is a queen, all right, and the fellows e who attend the State Fair will agree e with us when they come under her charming personality. a The TJ. D. C. convention which meets 1 e here Nov. 20-2.1, is an event of more than passing interest. Union will be 11 honored in having these splendid wo'* men within her borders. In honor of their coming The Times will get out a special edition, one in which we n 1 will give much prominence to the three "IT ! i- * union county enapters and the two j children's chapters of the county; in the special edition we will publish quite a number of papers now in the archives of the chapters, and also quite a bit of new matter bearing upon the activities of the organizations in the S i county. We hope to make the edition ( worthy of the occasion, and will greatly appreciate any assistance ren^ dered by our friends in getting the v material for the paper.
