You should have public spirit enough
to attend your County Fair, Nov. 8, 9,
10. Let everybody come and welcome.
The Sardis Community Fair will be
held Saturday, Nov. 4. Great preparations
have been made for a fine showing.
Be sure and go down to see it.
Such enterprises should be encouraged.
You will find interesting reading in
the advertisements of the Union merchants
this week. There are many
tempting values offered for fair week.
Read, and having read, avail yourself
of the good offerings our merchants
are making. Take a look at
the handsomely decorated windows, of
which Union has more than the average
city of its size. You will find our
merchants alive and "on the job."
We sincerely regret the death of
one of our soldier boys in Texas
Tuesday. J. I. Blalock was a young
man held in high esteem by all who
knew him. He was but 24 years old,
and died from an attack of typhoid
fever. Company E has lost a faithful
fellow in the death of this young man.
And, say what you will, he died for
-
...o tuuiiify, just as truiy as it he had
been killed in battle. He died for
you, kind reader, and for me. To all
his loved ones our sympathy goes out.
To them we say: "He died for his
country, and in the service of his county,
and that is a glorious death."
Newspaper advertising is the best
of advertising, for the reason that it
is reasonable in cost. A man may
get out a three thousand circulars,
? size 9x12 inches. The circulars will
cost him six dollars. He is then put
to the expense of placing them; that,
done by hand, will cost him at least
$25; if mailed out it will cost something
like $10 for stamps, envelopes
and labor. It will cost not less than
$40.00 to have printed and carefully
distributed three thousand 9x12 pesters.
This same advertisement, run
one time in The Times will cost $*S.00,
just one-sixth of the sum, and will
go to the heads of .'5,000 families, thus
having a possible reading by 15,000
people. Talk about newspaper adverse,;*.

We are meeting with fine success 1
in gathering material for our U. I).
('. edition, which is to appear during
the meeting of the U. 1). C. convention
here Nov. 20-23. It is our purpose
to make this a valuable paper as i
well as one that will interest. W< <

written by members of the various I
chapters throughout the State during <
the present year, and the Union eoun- t
ty chapters will have special empha- i

tion may he, for we have the equip- I
ment to get out a daily if we so de- 1
sired. We will, perhaps, have a 24 <
page paper for the occasion. If nee- a
essary we will make it a oO-page a
edition. We will also print several J
hundred extra papers for that week, t
It will he appreciated if any sugges- I
tions come to us from the women of
the various chapters along the line of
any new feature for the edition. We '
desire to express our appreciation for \
the responses we are daily receiving <
from those who are leaders in the
organization. We feel sure that the
s
end sought will he attained and that
we will he able to get out an issue N
of more than passing interest. 1
Some of the county papers in the
State have already raised the price
?f their subscription; a number of
others are seriously considering a like
move. This does not appeal to us,
for the reason that the one-dollar-ayear
weekly has come to be such a
fixed thought in the public mind that
it will be almost an impossibility to
set up another standard. What we
;lo urge is that our subscribers pay
up their renewals promptly. That
will carry us over the present time
of stress. The average reader has
no idea what prompt payment of subscriptions
mean in the face of the
tremendous rise in the expense of
operating a newspaper plant. The
cost of white paper is 125 per cent
higher than it was one year ago. The
cost of gasoline is double in nrice.
These two items alone have put upon
The Times a weekly additional expense
of more than $15.00 or
$780 a year; enouph to employ another
pood printer. But the expense
has come without the additional producer.
Look at your little yellow label,
pood friend, and if your time has
expired, send in your renewal. You,
alotip with 780 others now due, will
take us over the present hard place.
Thankinp you in advance, etc.?The
Editor.
It is a matter of real repret to us
that not a one of the many teachers
in Union county sent in an essay
upon "Why People Should Attend
Our County Fair," in the contest
which we recently announced. It was
not so much the paltry sum of $5.00
that we felt would appeal to them, but
the fact that it afforded an opportunity
to help on a pood enterprise, a
public enterprise. Since no one made
an effort to pet the prize offered the
teachers, the pentleman who put up
mc money win nave it returned to
him. It was not our plan; it was
an idea put into execution by a public
spirited citizen of Union \county, a
man who has on more than i one occasion
shown his readiness to give a
helping hand to a worthy enterprise.
However, the prizes to the school
children will be awarded on "school
day" at the fair grounds. We feel
sure the gentleman who put up the
premium to stimulate interest among
the teachers will forgive everyone of
them if they will but come to the
fair. Perhaps the time limit was too
short. Perhaps each teacher felt that
the one prize of $5.00 was, among a
number of teachers, too great an effort
for the possibility involved. Anyway,
we also promise to forgive each
one if you will come to the fair.
Come, all school children and every
teacher, and welcome!
The Bull Moose, Elephant, are
abroad in the land. We have no quarrel
with those who are honest in their
allegiance to the cause revealed in
these quadrupeds. If a man is out
in the open, has the courage of his
tunviLLiuus, anu stands up anu ngnts
for the devil, himself, one cannot hut
admire such bravery. But the sneak,
the traitor, the perjurer?he is the
man we hold in the profoundest contempt.
The man who has been parading
his democracy, who has sworn to
support the nominees of the Democratic
party, and then deliberately
goes back on his oath is too contemptible
for words. He is worse than a
scalaway and a carpetbagger. Bolters
are not good to look upon. It does
not sound well. It hath a lean and
hungry look, does this act of bolting.
We understood that tickets are being
sent, out over the State with the name
of Cole I). Blease for governor, substituted
instead of Richard I. Manning,
the nominee. This makes it
juite necessary that every voter excmine
carefully the printed ballot before
casting his vote. It makes it
ilso necessary that our voters turn
>ut and vote in the general election
lore Tuesday, Nov. 7. There has,
icretofore, been entirely too much inlifference
on the part of our re^isered
voters upon the question of votnjf
in the general election. It will not
lo to be indifferent this time. The
democrats must turn out and vote.
I'he danger is a real one that threat>ns.
Let all j?ood Democrats turn out
ind vote Tuesday. Let us pile up
;uch a tremendous vote that the Buli
doose and the Elephant will be put
o rout and, particularly, that the
lyenas.the bolters, will be annihilated.

it
The Union County Fair association ti
are completing arrangements for the tl
Union County Fair which is expected ii
to be the biggest event this year in
tb history of the association. The ti
George Reynolds Greater Shows have b
been engaged to furnish the midway b
attractions. This carnival company it
is said to ze one of the largest aggre- '4
gations of amusements travelling this v
part of the country, having a mam- d
moth midway of 14 collossal diversified o
complete shows, two riding devices, g
two sensational free acts, thirty unique u
novel concessions and a 12 piece Royal p
Italian Band. ii
Among the might be named espec- t
ially McLaughlin's Ten-in-on in num- d
her three, which has for some of its a
specialties, a real performance of big
bears; the circus with its funny ii
clowns; "Squash", an Ethiopian pig- t
my, a queer diminutive creature from d
the wilds of Africa; a Pagan god, d
Chinese dragon, the man fish and sev- J
en-legged calf. tl

checker pame with death in the mo- ri
tordome. Travellinp at liphtninp speeii tl
on motorcycles around the almost perpendicular
dome, their desperate p
chances thrill the bip crowds. V
The Dixie Minstrel Show means ii
just what it says, real, old^time, "Dix- '1
ieland" performance with every deliphtful
feature of sonp and dance,
tvpical of the Southern nepro before
the war. v
A repular vaudeville feature, one t
quite up to the averape standard of 0
the day, constitutes a spriphtly attraction.
