Our heart croes with our faithful soldier hoys who left this week for Camp Moore. We bepr to assure them that, when needed, there are some six or eiprht thousand more men in Union county ready to follow. The way the French nml FnrrlieV, o..? hammering the Gorman lines on the Western front it appears that Germany must and will meet fearful disaster in that region. Indeed, the capture of men and {runs by the allied forces points to the coming of a great sweeping victory for them. Our recent trips about over the county reveal the fact that the farmers of the county are "up to their eyes" in work. There is no denying the fact that Union soil is going to produce more this year than ever in its history. if human agency can accomplish this end. Everywhere our people are busy jrardenir.fr. There will be bo scarcity of vegetables in this section after two months have passed. This is a jrood thinp. Let's plant; then plant apain; then plant a third time. Keep up the succession. You owe it to yourself and i you owe it to your community. Get busy! j We cannot commend too hijrhly the movement amonp the leadinjr colored j people of the county to enlist in the t work of the Commission for Civic Pre- ^ paredness for war. The recent mass f meeting of colored people held in the I ^ " irthoiise d?1 ar? "it. _entJiusi- _ J ? .... .. ^eveiopeu .f* asm. The speeches made by prominent colored men showed a commenda- h ble spirit of patriotism. The colored * people can and will help ia this time of stress, and we feel that all pa- d triotic white people will encourage the a colored people in this endeavor. Both t, Governor Manning and D. R. Coker, n the chairman of the State committee ' to promote preparedness in the mat- p ter of farm products, have endorsed. v and are encouraging, the movement ( among tne coiorea people. 1^ 1 A meeting was held in the rooms of ^ the Union Chamber of Commerce v We<lnesday afternoon to organize for f a "Clean-Up Campaign," to he waged j in Union beginning April 30, and eon- f tinuing unabated until not a tin can, not a noxious pile of weeds, not a i scrap of paper, broken bottles, or trash is lrft within our borders. Tt is * just the time to wage this war. Flies and mosquitos are our enemies. They a breed in filth and they spread disease, 1 and the best way to avoid being beset by these peste is to make Union a ,1 clean town. I>et\s get to work in the back yard, undfcr the house, all about our premises and get rid of every possible breeding place for the fly p and the mosquito. Let everybody help * by looking after his own premises, It i? a time for guarded speech and ( for the exercise of serf control. Any question that irritates and causes bitterness in time of peace is liable to be f intensified in times like the present. ' It is said by thoughtless people that ( the negTO will give trouble in case > many men leave for the front. We 1 feel sure the necro is heinc dono a I, preat wronp by this unwise speech, i In the first place, many of them, if the need comes, will join the army. ^ Moreover, the race, as a race, is docile. About the only trouble the ncpro has ever or will ever do the white people is the result of unprincipled and des'pr.inp white men usinp them as tool-;. The nepro in the South today has the best opportunity for improving nis condition he has ever had, anf he is safer here than anywhere in the world. It is reported that many negroes are leaving the South for the North. If they are going upon their own voli- , tion, and without pursuasion, it is their ' business, and we say, let them go. (, They will find the mistake, and they j will be glad to return, as many who < have gone have already done. If they I j are led to migrate North because of1, some agent, some white man, who ? L holds out glittering promises, the col( ored race will do well to think sober- , ly before venturing. The Southern * white man and the Southern climate J are two of the best friends the negro . has. He will do well to ponder well before deciding to journev hence. |( ; BEERSHEBA | Beershcba, April 1C>. j ^ This morning dawned bright and ! ( clear and the weather has moderated t considerably and if the weather con-! { tinues warm and favorable this week I j a lot of much-needed farm work will j ^ be done. The farmers seem to have a i r hustle on themselves. 1^ We hope and trust that our country I a may not be in the grasp of such all terrible conflict as some war enthusi I ^ asts have predicted and why agitate ' s the minds of the people to such an ex- I tent with exeitinp war news which is 1 a almost as prievous for them to bear c as the calamity itself would be. Of 1 ,, course the terror of war is bad enouph c but we must not surrender to emo-' tions that will tend to discourape rath- I or than strenpthens. Darkness is never so black but that somewhere a ray of lipht will penetrate. The most serious problem that is confrontinp the J masses today is the scarcity of food i supplies and there may not be any re- t lief until the nresent crop, which is t not planted yet. can be harvested. The o present price of cotton is not anymore d encourapinp to the farmer to plant a I bip crop than is the price of corn. Tt is our opinion that which is most es- ii sential to the farmer is cultivatinp the e idea of raisinp his food and feed sup- d nlies at home. Now is n pood time to > c bepin. 11 Mr. and Mrs. Emniett Montpomery t* an dcliildren were puests of .T.

C., April 6, 1917. rly dear Mrs. Duncan: Our special contribution to the naion in time of war is the increase of he food supply and the emphasizing f thrift. i will tell you what i am luuiK just to give you an idea of what am asking all the leagues to do. I have formed the school children nto Relief Garden clubs. A club for acli grade. I have asked three laies, experienced gardeners, to tell the hildren how to prepare the plots for heir gardens and to be a committee o inspect the gardens each month. In ooperation with your chamber of ommerce you can get vacant lots for he children to plant, and they will robably be willing to give a prize for ach grade garden which is considered he best kept. Try to get this into ie county by cooperation with the emonstration agent. Form the women in the mill comlunities, any suburb or in the town self into Live-at-Home clubs. The bject of these clubs will be to plant ardens, too, and to demand homerown food products. We are sending jt millions of dollars which should 5 kept in the state for foods that in be grown right here if the houseiyes demand such food. I am in co.nunicati6!MP?th Mr. Long of Clemson, id I hope sooir^P have a model rotam of vegetables for you to suggest the children and to be able to get cturers for meetings otvthe children id the women. But at their meetings, grocer can ten now prices are soarg and a practical farmer can advise i to what to plant. You can get from me little buttons >r the children to wear. They will obably be a penny. Clemson will ve free some seeds and plants. The ots for the children's gardens should s 10 x 10 feet. Get the plots proired now, your committee will tell e children how to do this. I am sure that the ingenuity of your omen will devise ways of interesting ie men into helping you and into puvng the idea before the women and lildren in a way that will appeal to iem. Register the women as to names, aces of residence, and work that iey will do, such as clerks of all nds, stenographers, motor drivers. ioks, etc. Send these to the state ague. Hoping that your league will get to ork on our specialty immediately, Yourfs sincerely, Harriet P. Lynch. MONEY TO LEND on FARM LANDS 100 to $10,000?Twenty years time. See JNO. K.
