If we understand it, these J young men are violating the law, and I are running a serious risk. Only the heads of families can order whiskey j and then it imisi he one quart a month \ only, and for personal or family use |1 for sickness. It must be remembered, i too, that the violation of the law will r bring down the federal as well as the ^ State penalty. It is a very risky thing to order whiskey for others. b Rev. L. W. Blackwelder, pastor of f the Church of the Nativity, is riding ^ in a new Ford automobile, the gift a of his congregation at Glenn Springs. 1 We congratulate the church upon this * worthy deed, and we congratulate Mr. j Blackwelder upon his good fortune. F Certainly the kindness was well di- [ rected, for Mr. Blackwelder is one of i the finest spirits we have ever known. ^ He has won the esteem of all our ' people since coming to Union. We do s not feel like dictating to a congrega- ^ tion, but will go so far as to say " that it would be gracious thing if the it congregation here would donate a neat sum to buy gasoline for a year. j Our plans are maturing for the es- ] tablishment of a small daily news- i paper, and we hope to have all plans 1 made by Monday, October 8. It is j possible that we may require a short | time more to get everything in shape. ' We must say that the response to our proposition has been most gratifying < and we feel sure we can make a go ( of it. i J Rev. J. W. Speake, pastor of Grace Methodist church, was one of those J expressing approval of the move. He ( said he had often thought of the ' matter and was sure it would be a move in the right direction. He went so far as to say that a daily paper here was almost a necessity, and that < he felt the lack of one in his work to 5 a large degree. We feel that the \ time has come for such a move, and 1 we feel sure there will be wide-spread ' support of such an enterprise. { Judge W. W. Johnson has been ap- ^ puinveu uirector ior union county by the Library War Council, an organization created for the purpose of furnishing libraries for our soldiers and sailors. It is purposed to raise a million dollar Library War Fund, and the movement has the sanction and support of Secretary of War Baker. The statement is made that each dollar contributed will purchase and house a book, on an average. Skilled librarians will be in charge of the libraries in the various cantonments, and every energy will be turned towards making it easily possible to nave every soldier within easy reach ( of this very great means for entertainment and for self-improvement. , There are thirty-two cantonment li- 1 hrary buildings to he erected, and j about 1550,000 books put in them as a ] beginning. i This is a big work and certainly * can be made a wonderful help. Aflfc , presume that Judge Johnson will in- ^ augurate a campaign in the county 1 for contributions to this fund, and no ] I OUR Bring You O U Buy OUR Shoes ai Money?Many of 1 Ladies Shoes, B T?T ri^ir Joubt Union county will do its part in Llie undertaking. KELTON Ivelton, Sept. 24.?We had a pood rain last Saturday ?evening, which ame in very nicely as fall vegetables were needinp moisture. Late dan ted cabbage and beans, peas, turlips and sweet potatoes will all be benefited. The Ridpe was profoundly shocked vhen the sad news reached limon ast Friday that Rev. John G. Farr lad passed away in a hospital in Coum'uia that morning. Mr. Farr was l nonular vounP minister of the Methodist church and was loved by nany people, which was shown by the mndrcds that attended his funeral at " oster Chapel Saturday in the presnce of the largest gatherings of its ;ind that ever assembled there. Rev. W. Kilgo, presiding elder ot the Columbia District, and Mr. Kelly of he Kelton charge conducted the ser'ice?, A large concourse of relatives ind friends were there from far and lear. Cars came from a great disance and from other counties. A ough guess would put the number )resent at seven or eight hundred lersons. I suppose that three-fourths jresent were related to the deceased >y blood or marriage. He was married twice, first to Miss Addie New>erry of Union. There were several :hildren born to them. His last wife vas a Miss Williams. No children ;urvive them. He was the son of D. 1. Farr, an old Confederate soldier, md came of one of the families that iuflfered the heaviest in mortality in he war. He was dangerously wound>d in the great battle of Gettysburg lear the place what was known as Devil's Den. We shall see Preacher Parr's face no more on earth. He was i dutiful son, a faithful preacher and i loving father and kind husband. He ,vas always active in every move or the betterment of mankind. The lereavod ones have the heartfelt sympathy of their many relatives and nencts throughout Union county and )ther sections of the State. Re'1. J. T. Fowler of the lower S. 2. Conference, attended the funeral >f Rev. John G. Farr, his first cousin. There is some sickness on the Ridpe. Mr. John M. Little has pinned several bales of cotton and most of it las been sold. The farmers have leased to sell since the market advanced. G. T. G. JONESVILLE Jonesville, Sept. 25.?Last Saturlay eveninp there was a bountiful *ain over this cduntry, which came in ?ood time and suited the late crops very much and will be of great bene1t to the farms and gardens, and will :>ut the ground in order to put in the >ats that ought to go in the ground soon. The present cold spell is rather premature or at least it holds very long for so early. A negro declares le saw snow Sunday. He says it was very light and fine. The change of trains and mails and schedules on the railways has just 'ome upon us and we have hardly got things adjusted to the new situation. Mrs. McClair of Atlanta, Ga.t was in Jonesville a few days since. I am going to make a prophecy that [ will never tire till its time but plen:y of my friends will, I believe, that n a few years after the war is over :hat the air above us will be full of lying machines, even like the auto nobiles in the roads and streets and ;here will be no working of tracks for hem and no tax to pay for their ehanlels. There will he plenty of room ror them, yet there will he danger of jollisions in the air. I was horn and reared on the farm ind 42 yeaTs of town life has not divorced me from the good country lome. Last Thursday Mr. J. L. McKinney drove up to our home in his ine Overland and carried my wife, Vliss Anna Hames and myself to his lice country home four miles from Jonesville to spend the day and the ine crop on the place must be inipected. So Mr. McKinney and I, with Miss Anna, who, like myself, ipent most of her life on the farm, x>ok to the cotton fields and inspected Vfr. McKinney's cotton crop and his SHOI r Fall Shoe Thoughts Here R PRI id You Will Get the Ve ''hem at Same Old Price lien's Shoes, Boys' She sTN-VH ONE P peas also. His 15 acres of cotton is the finest I have ever seen. It is all even and just the same all over and will certainly make 20 bales of 500 pounds each, and his pea crop is just) fine. He has at least 100 bushels or peas ready to pick. His corn crop is also fine and his oat crop was good. so his crop is an all-round fine crop. The dinner was rather extravagant for these war times, but if Mr. McKinney can stand it I can. Mr. flfrcKinneyl's is a model country home. Mrs. McClair of Atlanta is in this community on business. She comes to administer on the estate of P. P. Williams who died in Jonesville last year. By special invitation I attended the old-time Sunday singing at Buffalo Methodist church last Sunday, the morning being unfavorable the country people did not turn out largely but the people of Buffalo made up a good congregation. The pastof of the church, Bev. Mr. Harvey ,gave his morril'ng hour i0 the singing people and they commenced at 11 a. m. and continued until 4 p. m. with a dinner recess of one hour. All the vfedtovs I were handgomely entertained by the pood Buffalo people. The minister of the Baptist church, with many of his church people, attended the singing and the superintendent of the mill came out and brought his violin and played with the singers and one very important person that joined in the singing was Mrs. Sarratt, who performed on the piano. She just made the old-time songs ring and led the music to the delight of ye old-time songsters. Telephone. CAREM Carem, Sept. 2f>.?Friday night, the 21st, will be remembered by a large crowd of people from all over Union county when they gathered at Carem school to enjoy several hours of real pleasure. Games were played in the front yard, and later the crowd moved indoors, because there boxes were being sold. After that an oldtime cake walk was enjoyed. The lucky couple received a beautiful cake. Later in the evening a "popularity contest" was held and the winner was present^,i ,..uu ? ?<T - J? n..u: ?> CU uilll iX UCclUlUUI Ijciuy 1>CWLIII1UI tS cake. Besides this, candy, cream and peanuts were sold, and last, but not least to be mentioned, was music, that of a Victrola, loaned to the school for this occasion. The proceeds amounted to $44.36, which will go to help pay for the new "StiefT piano which the school has recently purchased. All expressed themselves as heartily enjoyinpr the occasion and I have heard the question already asked, "When is Carem to have another,entertainment?" The byword now at Carem is "Community Fair." "IRON JAWED ANGELS" SENT TO WORKHOUSE Washington. SeDt. 25.?Four more militant suffragist pickets will go down to Occaquin tomorrow to "Sfefve time" for the cause. They weiv. convicted today of "carrying the banner" in front oT the White House. Judge Mulloney told them that if they would not promise to stop picketing it would be as usual ?$25 or .10 days in jail. The suffragists said it was jail. The new martyrs are: Mrs. Margaret Wood Kessler of Denver, Mrs. P. O. John of St. Louis and Miss Ernestine Hara and Miss Nine Bluniberg of New York. TICKETS FOR WINNERS.
