Since looking upon the faces of the members of the convention we have fallen in love with so many of them that we can but wish that we had used u ton instead of half that amount. The address of Dr. J no. E. White before the U. I"). C. convention Wednesday evening reached high water mark. The speech, published next is- 1 sue, is one of the sanest, strongest ' arguments we have yet seen upon the ' present situation and the future hope * of the South in the public life of the 1 nation. s i President Snyder, in his address be- 1 fore the U. D. C. convention Tuesday 8 evening showed that he has litt'e sym- J pathy for the .statement sometimes j made that we need two parties in the 1 . ikoi .'i. 1 J 1- - J iL! t u'juiii, tuciu it, wuuiu ue a kuuu iriing * if we had a strong Republican party. We heartily agree with him. "The Solid South" is far better for the civilization of the South than would be a split among the white people of the South. The South is yet destined to teach the world the value of v/hite supremacy. On Wednesday evening, during the session of the U. D. C. convention the fire alarm was sounded. The auditorium was packed and Dr. White was in the midst of his splendid spee.fn. Some little confusion was caused, but the disturbance was but for a minute. Upon investigation it was found that, the alarm had been turned in by some practical joker. Such an act might at some day lead to a fearful loss of life. The scamp who does such a thing should be sent to the chaingang for five years. It will take the rock y pile to get the meanness out of mean a dog as that. Mayor Whartort is making diligent search for the offender. When found, he should be made an example of. He should, and will be, severely punished. The suggestion made by Mrs. Calhoun in her address to the U. D. C. convention Tuesday evening that the 1 schools adopt the Wyoming plan for < enlisting the boys of the schools in * the cause of preparedness by means of the "cadet system" is worthy of most serious consideration. The "Boy Scout" idea proves that such a plan has great attraction for the boy. The idea that true preparedness will help to maintain peace is a true doctrine, if we are not mistaken. The address of Mrs. Calhoun was timely, and it was one of the most convincing pleas we have ever heard. It is little wonder that this gifted woman is being prominently mentioned for promotion to the presidency of the general contion of the D. A. R.'s. WELCOME TO THE WOMEN. The South holds no treasure above her women! Welcome to the U. D. C. convention! Our sacred Past and our tremendous Future are safe in their hands. The earth cannot match their grace and charm nor reveal a higher type of womanhood. A nation cannot rise above its women, nor sink into oblivion so long as its women embody high and holy ideals. Man boasts of his achieve A- 1 -.1 1* 1i> I -11 I ments ana giorines nimseu, wnen an the world knows that he owes the best that is in him, or that ever proceeds from him, to the influence of a mother, wife or sweetheart! We feel much inclined to draw out this welcome, but we realize that to do so is to build the porch higher than the house. Welcome to our hearts, our homes, noble women of a noble heritage. Welcome, and God bless you. The address of Dr. H. N. Snyder, president of WofTord college, before the U. D. C. convention Tuesday evening was the strongest defense for the existence and promotion of the movement we have yet heard. Dr. Snyder was at his best, and his plea was unanswerable. He has lifted the opprobrium which has long rested upon the socalled "sectionalism" of the South, and has rendered a real service in so doing. Truly, the perilous and strange times upon which all civilization is entering, the unrest, the inquisitiveness and the questioning that are so insistent in all the world, necessitated clear thinking and high living. And the deathless glory of the Confederate soldier, the undaunted cour age of the Women of the Confederacy, the exalted ideals of the South are necessary in the building of a great America. These high qualities of unselfish loyalty, of self-abnegation, must be the blood and bone in the character of any great people. Money, property values, great engineering feats, startling inventions?all these things are of great value, but they are the mere things of life after all. The life itself is deeper. It lives in the spirit not the flesh. Such a life conquers the flesh and exalts the spirit. Yes, Dr. Snyder has given us a new vision of our "sectional South," one that we will treasure through the coming days. J THE ROSES ARE LEFT; THV s THORNS ARE GONE?ALMOSTy With all the enthusiasm manifesfd in the U. D. C. convention in this,/ne of the very hotbeds of the Confed- I eracy, and with the part Union i'is- i trict played in the great drarm of ( necessity brought noticeably y the 1 front, there is a marked absence of ( any bitterness. The roses art- left, ^ the thorns are pone?almost. The preat work of the U. D. C. con- f vention is not that strife and bitter- ( ness be stirred, nor that there should j be the shamelessness of self-plorifi- s ration. The purpose lies deeper, the '< mds reach hipher than that. To per- ( petuate the memory of as brave men 1 ind women as ever peopled the earth ' s a worthy endeavor. To see that f ;he history of such a people is writ ind that truthfully, is a work that j nust be done. In incilicatinp the lofty deals, the worthy examples of heroes 1 n the heart of children is more than ( i worthy task, it is a secred duty ' .hat left undone would brand us as lepenerates of worthy sires. Bitterness? Nobody is bitter; no- ? )ody is carryinp about any hurt of ( nind, albeit the rapidly thinninp I anks of prey show many who are;1 arryinp an empty sleeve or who limp ' 'rom the effects of the shock of bat- * les foupht fifty years apo. Sons and Dauphters of Heroes, let * is cherish the dust of our sacred 1 lead. The life of a nation that does lot find its roots penetrating its ; craveyards is dbstined soon to die. Graveyards, not cannon, make a na- , ion preat! The dust of past generaions is more to be depended on for lefense than battleships. When a leople forgets its dead then is that < >eople dead to all that is worth while n the heart of man. All of which is said by one whose ather served four years in the Confederate Army and whose mother ] vore b homespun dress and lived for < nany moons upon cowpeas and corn j >read?for that home lay in the wake 1 if Sherman. But there is not one , Irop of bitterness in the writer's leart. Our people, old and young, j "everence Old Glory, and we teach . >ur children so to do. But be it re- , members that the Stars and Bars is jnshrined in the inner heart and will 1 there abide until the end of time, rhus armed, we can never be found wanting when our nation calls for MEN. OUR U. D. C. EDITION. We feel some pride in cur issue of this week, although we are fully aware of the fact that it is far from perfect. There are altogether too many typographical errors, for one thing. Then, too, there are many noble men and women of the county, living and dead, whose record is not in the paper. We were competed to stop somewhere, and, in the very nature of the case, we had to neglect some. In one particular case, that of Col. Wm. H. Wallace, we sought diligently for a photograph, but without success. We regret that we could not obtain a cut of this peerless and noble gentleman for whom the Union chapter was named. Then, too, we fully realize that in the hurry and bustle of a newspaper office, it is more than probable that mistakes in the records may be made. A newspaper is not ar. accurate history, but it gathers materia' that will be of great value to the future historian. It records facts and passing events that will enter largely into the work of the future historian. We are indebted to Mrs. Willie Southard Scott, of Jonesville, for valuable data concerning the John Hames Chapter; to Miss Sadie Gist for a like service in regard to the Fish Dam Chapter; to Mrs. B. G. Clifford, Mrs. F. M. Farr, Mrs. S. S. Linder, Mrs. J. W. Mixson and others for valuable contributions concerning the William Wallace Chapter. We are also greatly indebted 10 Miss Minnie L. Walker for the fine bit of Pinckney history and to Mrs. I J. J. Hames, regent of the local "I). A. R.'s" for valuable assistance. Last, but not least, Mr. Brian Bell of the Columbia State and Col. William Banks of the Columbia Record were unfailing in their efforts to help us. To each of them, and to many others, we express our sincere appreciation. We feel confident that the (rood will expressed towards us by our friends will also serve to defend us against any too harsh" criticisms that may result from whatever defects the issue will show. TJere is just one other thought thafweiwish to express. It is this: The Tirjes has never yet called upon the merchants of Union, requesting advertling patronage to float an extra sipd paper without meeting with a vef liberal response. This issue is arpvidence of the truth of what we hav/said, as you will see by glancing oycJthe big line of advertisements. Tianks, kind friends, thanks to ever/ one. Some of these days, under ttt impetus of such warm friendship aid of such loyal patronage we may ct out a sure-enough-edition. Such in edition should have about 50 pages, carefully edited and planned. Some my, pernaps soon, we win get out >uch a paper. NOTICE. Troops of the National Guard of the Southern States will spend "Thanksriving Day" in their respective camps )n the border and it is understood ,hat they are planning to celebrate he day with a turkey dinner, a function of considerable importance to ;he boys.

Look back at your childhood days. Remember the "dose" mother insisted an?castor oil, calomel, cathart:~s. How you hated them, how you fought against taking them. With our children it's different. Mothers who clung to the old form of physic simply don't realize what they do. The children's revolt is wellfounded. Their tender little "insides" are injured by them. If your child's stomach, liver and bowels need cleansing, give only delicious "California Syrup of Figs." Its action is positive, but gentle. Millions of mothers keep this harmless "fruit laxative" handy; they know children love to take it; that it never fails to clean the liver and bowels and sweeten the stomach, and that a teaspoonful given today saves a sick child tomorrow. Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs," which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grownups plainly on each bottle. Beware ol counterfeits sold here. See that it is made by "California Fig Syrup Company." Refuse any other kind with contempt. NOTICE. Jonesville Camp, W. O. W., No. 171 will unveil a monument to the memory of Sov. Johnny Fowler on tht fourth Sunday in November at New Hope church at .1 o'clock. Sov. M. W. Bobo will make an ad dress. Everybody is invited to attend W. M. Horn, Co. Com., J. N. Eison, Clerk. AUSTRIAN RULER EXPIRES AFTER 68-YEAR REIG> Ijondon, Nov. 22.?F^mperor Fran cis Joseph died last night at 9 o'eloel at Schoenbrunn Castle, according t< a Reuter dispatch from Vienna, hj way of Amsterdam. It is doubtful if in all history then has been an active, authenticate, reign longer than that closed by th? death of Francis Joseph. At 19 years of age he ascended th. throne of Austria, upon abdication o his uncle, Ferdinand I., December 2 1848, his death today ending an activ. reign of nearly 68 years, all but th< first twenty of which he was als< Apostolic King of Hungary. Tradition says that Pharoah rulei for 99 years and there is the mon credible instance of Rameses II Seostris of the Greeks, whose reign i reputed to have covered 67 years. WILL ADMIT WOMEN TO S. C.
