unuereianu mat mere are in certain
communities in the county a few
young1 men who are ordering whiskey <
in their own names to he turned over *
to others. 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 ]

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.

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

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

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"

time" for the cause.
