JONESVILLE Jonesville, Oct. 9.?I read with interest in The Union Times of last week of the five dollar bill given by Mr. and Mrs. A. F. McKissick to the William Wallace chapter, U. D. C. This brings to my mind the Cotton Loan Association of 1862, which was organized at Union by Messrs. Wm. J. Keenan, Dr. B. F. Rawls and others for the relief of the situation in financial affairs, but really it was not very long until the situation was relieved by Confederate money which was put into circulation in great quantities. The Cotton Loan Association was based upon cotton a good collateral of course, but the association was really not necessary as matters turned out. Confederate money came in just about the time of the Cotton Loan Association. I came home from Richmond late in December, 1861, on leave of absence quite sick and was at home for awhile. I was paid off in Richmond in Confederate money, the first I ever saw. as it was just coming into circulation. I brought $80.00 with me and it was a curiosity in the neighborhood. I bought a bale of cotton from a negro for 7 cents a pound and I kept it till after the war and I sold it for 45 cents the pound in green backs. The Cotton Loan Association went up with the war but there was an effort made to make those who had conscripted cotton pay it, but they got out of it some way or other, that I just don't remember and that was the last of it. Greenbacks got very plentiful soon after the close of the war but our Southern people were a little shy of them and gold was very plentiful for a year or two after Lee's surrender. The premium on gold was about forty or one forty in greenbacks for one in gold, the gold finally went into the banks and greenbacks went at par and but little gold has been in circulation in this country since. The fourth quarterly conference of the Jonesville circuit was held here Saturday. Presiding Elder R. E. Stackhouse of Spartanburg was present and presided. Reports from the different officers of the church were fairly good. Finances are a little behind, but they will come up before the annual conference. There were quite a number of people in our town Saturday. Some cotton was put on the market at 25c. Miss Sallie Cunhingham of Kershaw and Miss Ella Eargle spent the week-end with Mrs. W. H. Page at her country home. A very bright meteor passed over Jonesville Sunday morning about 8:J0 o'clock. It was going from East to West at a very rapid rate. It went down in the West, but so far off it was not heard. Some of the boys who saw it at first thought it was a German aeroDlane. The cotto nmarket here played between 25% and 26% cents last week. Farmers are selling part only of their crop, as they hope to get 26c later on. From all reports from the farmers over the country there is a bumper crop of corn made and it is about ready to be harvested. It seems that much of the world war over on the other side of the Atlantic will be in the air and on the water, so this lets me out for I can neither swim nor fly. I see we will soon have to pay 3 cents for postage stamps and 2 cents for postcards. Mr. Munro Faucett of Union spent Sunday with Capt. R. W. Scott at the postoffice. Miss Irene Gore, who is teaching at uuncun, spent vne weeK-ena witn ner father, Mr. Thos. H. Gore. Telephone. TO SOLVE ALL LABOR TROUBLES DURING WAR Great Falls, Mont., Oct. 8.?Great Falls labor unions and employers sent to President Wilson, Secretary of Labor Wilson and Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of labor, a request to establish a national arbitration board and compel the submission of all labor problems to it during the period of the war. The propose a board of seven, three to be appointed by Samuel Gompers, three by the National Employers' association and one by President Wilson. And when Susie starts to knit socks for soldiers, she finds that some pioparation is needed here also. 25 CENTS DESTROYS YOUR DANDRUFF AND STOPS FALLING KAIR Save Your Hair. Make It Thick, Wavy and Beautiful?Try Thin. Thin, brittle, oolorless and scraggy hair is mute evidence of a neglected scalp; of dandruff?that awful scurf. There is nothing so destructive to the hair as dandruff. It robs the hair of its lustre, its strength and its very life; eventually producing a feverishness and itching of the scalp, whic.. if not remedied causes the hair roots to shrink, loosen and die?then the hair falls out fast. A little Danderine tonight?now?any time?will surely save your hair. Get a 25-cent bottle of Knowlton's Danderine from any drug store or toilet counter, and after the first application your hair will take on that life, lustre and luxuriance which is so beautiful. It will become wavy and fluffy and have the appearance of abundance, an incomparable gloss and softness; but what will please you most will be after just a few weeks' use, when you will actually sea a lot of fine, downy hair?now hair?growing all over the scalp. MRS. PHILLIPS TAKES IRON IF BLOOD IS BAD i SUFFERED TWO YEARS WITH PELLAGRA; COULDN'T WALK 1 ABOUT THE HOUSE.

A teaspoonful of Acid Iron Mineral I in a glass of drinking water after meals makes an unusual, powerful, economical and delightfully invigorat- ^ ing tonic, appetizer, blood and kidney remedy. ^ A large dollar bottle if druggist hasn't it will be sent prepaid on receipt of price by the Ferrodine Chemical Corp., Roanoke, Va. y ONE DEAD IN QUARREL OVER NIECE OF VICTIM y Greenville, Oct. 8.?Monroe M.
