FRIDAY, MAY 25, 1017.
Gardens in Union and all over thr
county are showing up to fine advantage.
There will he plenty of vegetables
in a few weeks. The only trouble
is that they will last but a few weeks
unless a succession of crops be planted.
Let's plant beans every two
weeks; and, do not stop at that. Plant
plant again; then plant again. Aftei
every good rain it will be an easy
matter to get the seed te germinate
Keep on planting in your garden and
you will keep on reaping the reward.
One does not hear anything said tf
the effect that the United States wil
"eat up" the Germans in a few weeks
There does not seem to be any spiri
of bluster and brag in the presen
mental state of our people. This i:
one of the best signs revealed in th(
circumstances. There is a grim dc
termination; a willingness to serve th<
country and a stern resolution to de
fend our liberties and to help othei
nations defend their own. That w<
are not fighting for conquest is a guar
antee that we will fight bravely for th<
safekeeping of liberty.
We highly commend the public
spirit and unselfish attitude revealec
by Dr. G. W. B. Smith of Glendale
Dr. Smith owns lands contiguous t<
Rocky Creek, on the highway betweer
Union and Jonesville. Dr. Smith noi
only gave the right of way for the
new road bed, but also gave top soi
for surfacing the road; he has alsc
given the top soil for the roadway ir
the approaches to Rocky Creek bridge
and for surfacing the road beyond that
point. Such public spirit is worthy ol
commendation. We doubt if Dr. Smith
will, himself, use this roadway twic<
a year; he lives in an adjoining coun
ty, and these facts make his public
spirit all the more noteworthy. A
spirit like that will build up a community,
and will at the same time
build up the man who manifests it. Wt
venture the assertion that Dr. Smith
has lost nothing, when we rcmembei
the increased value that will attach tc
his lands.
We do not endorse the attitude oi
many newspapers who are putting up
a spiei: "i-must now, so as not to bi
forced in by conscription." We do not
feel that the selective draft is any disgraceful
process. It is, rather, a scien
tific and sane method for handling th<
situation. We apree with President
Wilson in his refusal to allow Mr
Roosevelt to pet up and lead a larpt
volunteer force. It was just the fact
that the whooped-up volunteer bodj
of soldiers would have created in th(
minds of many the feelinp that to h<
selected by draft is disgraceful. Many
very many younp men have not vol
unteered. They are not burninp tr
(fpt in Tf fhn notlAn nn/\/lo

however, they will po, and po wlllinply.
And they wall stay as lonp ant
fight. as faithfully as anybody else
We honor the younp fellows who hav<
stopped forward and offered them
selves to their country. NTovv that th<
selective draft is to he enforced, w<
feel that those chosen to po will prov<
themselves equally as faithful. We se<
no disgrace in beinp called forth undei
the "ctmscript act."
, We do not protest against the proposed
heavy increase in postal rates
the newspapers will have to pay pro,
vided the act now before congress tc
passes. Everybody and everything ,a
will have to bear a part in the heavy p
burden that is falling upon us. We jr
kick at nothing save the effort to have
the newspapers muzzled, and that ^
phase of 'the matter was thought ?.]
to have been already settled, and 11
we were to have a free press. The trour
?.,.i tj ? 1 ?.
I ?mv *>iiu \ a-| iiiiiu \ tinu ivu.^Mti cliiu ;y]
many other tyrannical governments tl
! lies primarily in the fact that the pa- ^
i pers are muzzled. The greatest agent C1
of despots in the world today is the u
T
suppression of free speech and free
m
thought. To our mind, if our own
country had been put under such con- ir
ditions we would have lost our best .
f(
reason for fighting. To Germanize pj
ourselves would be almost as bad as
to be Germanized by Germans.
w
But to go back to the question of
higher rates: The tremendous rise in B
the cost of print paper which fell ^
upon the newspapers more than a year
ago, put many of them out of exist- s<
ence. The heavy increase in postal
" rates will put many more of them out jp
. of business. The necessary thing for pi
. the newspapers to do is to increase
. subscription and advertising rates so jn
as to get in position to keep buckle in
and tongue together. The delinquent ^
. subscriber is one of the heaviest taxes
, the newspapers have to meet. The low
price of advertising rates is another
. menace. The newspapers must help
\*
r themselves by increasing their rates
and by insisting upon subscription be- tf
I ing paid in advance. a

} Lockhart, May 23.?As I seldom see
1 anything in The Times from our thriving
village thought I would scribble a
few lines that small places like Jones- R<
1 ville and Union might take pattern ni
t from a nice town like ours. al
The Lockhart high school came to a
very successful close this week.
? On Friday, the 18th, the school and ?
. patrons enjoyed an old time picnic
4 on the river just a mile below Lock- 5
hart. The day was an ideal one and $
the crowd large and good things to
r eat and to spare. Judging from the A
; dinner one would hardly realize that g

Friday at 8:30 p. m. the declamation Z
? contests were held in the hall over the 4
store. The following boys contested 5
for the medal offered by Prof. C. F. 4
Sims, Gaither Worthy, Claud Inman, 5
Fred Neal and John Brasington and 4
: the following girls for the medal of- S
1 fered by Miss Inez Nelson, Misses 5
Josie Worthy. Maggie Baldwin, Katie 5
Carter and Lillie Douglass. 4

L and after carefully going over the S

1 and for the girls to Miss Katie Carter. 4
Sunday morning at 11 o'clock at the 2
Baptist church Rev. J. T. I.ittlejohn V
1 preached the commencement sermon 2
> from the text. "Render, therefore, unto 4
y Caesar the things which are Caesar's J
nrwl nntn thn thiricre am m
God's." Ho impressed upon his hoar- ^
i ers the importance of being loyal to A
our country, and also stressed the fact 5
that we should ho loyal to God by giv
ing him our hearts and lives while we A
; are young. ?
Monday, 8:80 p. m., at the hall came A.
the literary address before the Pal- *
metto literary society by Mr. E. P. ?
t Grain of Greenville, and let me say
that I consider it quite a treat to hear
Mr. Crain. I have often heard Mr.
? Crain spoken of as a great speaker
and must say that he fills the bill exactly.
' Tuesday, 8:80 p. m., graduation exercises
which brought the close. Six
pupils having satisfactorily completed
the course of study in tho tenth grade
' were given diplomas. The following
received diplomas: Missee Katie Car)

Every druggist in town?your druggist

a great falling-off in the sale of

"Calomel is dangerous and people

said a prominent local druggist.
Godson's Liver Tone is personally
ruaranteed by every druggist who
ells it. A large bottle costs 50 cents,
ind if fails to give easy relief in overuse
of liver sluggishness and consti>ation,
you have only to ask for your
