Considerable space is being givei
by the newspapers of the State advo
eating that arrangements be made fo
the soldiers to vote in the election
next year. We had never thought i
improbable that they have this oppor
tunity. Certainly they should vote

and national, will have to see to that

supposed that there was no need; tha

This is not the case. There is roor
for many more. Come and help.
The Times man, determined to sho<
some spirit of loyalty in the matte
of boostng the day for the completio
of the campaign for National Defend
which has been going on throughoxj
the county during the past two week
and which closes here on Saturda
with a grand rally, appealed to th
merchants of Union for advertisin
patronage sufficient to get out a hi
bigger and better paper than usua
The appeal was not in vain. The mei
chants, as may be seen by the patror
age in this week's issue, tells its ow
story. And the appeal we made t
them was that they not only help u
get out this extra paged paper, bu
that they look over their stocks an
on that day, Saturday, Aug. 18, mak
a special bargain day of it. We fet
sure that they have done this, as yo
may see by reading the advertise
ments in this issue. Union merchant
are selling goods today under th
wholesale market price. This is i
fact that you can easily demonstrat

LET THE SOUTH FEED ITSELF. i
e J
With a soil capable of an almost 1
t nmiuess range in prouucuon, uotn as '
n to variety and quantity, it does seem 1
strange that the South has been so '
blind as to buy almost everything it '
needed. Corn and bacon from the
,r West; flour from afar; canned goods
n from just any old place; even grass ,
had to be brought in. Tons and tons (
,t imported! No wonder we have felt ]
the pangs of poverty. It would have
v been just had we come to the verge of .
e starvation. One of the chapters of
tt our history that will be read by future ,
it generation will be that one dealing ]
|. with this wholesale importation of ]
food and feed stuffs. It would be ,
funny if it were not so tragic. ,
n But a better day is at hand. The (
o day was being slowly ushered in be
s fore the outbreak of the war, but the ]
it war has tremendously accelerated the |
d sunrise. In ten years it will be a \
e matter of disgrace for a farmer to be \
?1 caught hauling hay from a railway j
u station to his farm! Ijet us hope that <
i_ there will not be left by that time j
s one farmer in Union county so sadly 8

ilt is not pleasant to have to write '
'about these things, but it is necessary.
Our people ask for a reason
for our being in war?let them know
that the world is to be made safe for
democracy and more, it must be safe
for women and children. IF THE Eg
UNITED STATES HAD NOT GONE B
INTO THIS WAR IT IS MORE E
THAN PROBABLE, YES, IT IS AL- E
MOST CERTAIN THAT THE VERY p
SAME ATROCITIES PERPETRAT
ED AGAINST THE BELGIAN AND FRENCH
WOMEN WOULD HAVE
BEEN ALSO THE FATE OF THE
(VdMEN OF AMERICA.
It is the man uninformed or whose
ielfish interests blind him to every
de^l above those of a pig who can
luestion our going to war. Let the
rooks and cowards and peace advoates
cease their mouthings. It is beter
to die in a cause like ours than
degredation offered
il^^xthe guise of German "Kultur."
Aiftf fciow come reports of Germany

inless it be the Emma Goldman stripe
?f woman. It is said that the Gernan
authorities have conscripted
heir women of apes within a certain
imit for the purpose of having them
jive birth to children so that the
>tate may be repopulated. Thus the
tasest construction has been put upon
he most sacred thing in life, and mariage
has become a mockery and a
nyth. With a loathing deep and eterlal,
and with every ounce of red blood
n our veins, we say, GERMANY
tfUST BE CRUSHED OR HUMANTY
IS DAMNED. AMEN.
FEEDING THE NAVY.
"Naturally, with this busy day of
rills and recreations and the tang
f salt air, the men of the battleship's
row eat heartily, writes F. E. Evans,
i the August St. Nicholas. The mess
ttendants for the officers are Filiino
boys. Nowadays, on ships like
he dreadnaught Nevada the cook of
he ship, always an important and
/ell-paid post, is a trained electrician.
Ivery bit of work in the Nevada's
allery is done by electricity. The

llectric hoists carry the pans and

"The navy feeds its men from the
