THURSDAY, MARCH 7, 1018. All the Democrats should feel better over the result of Woman Suffrage. The women voted in New York in the congressional elections, 1 and as a result, four Democratic congressmen are chosen. Who knows but that the vote of the women turned the scale in that election. It really ap- . pears to be that way. Col. T. C. Duncan, in this issue, has announced for the State Senate, and is the first county candidate to announce. He has for the past four years represented Union county in the House of Representatives; he was mayor of Union for several terms, and is a strong personality. His entering the race for the Senate promises a lively campaign this summer. Senator B. R. Tillman offers himself a candidate for re-election to the ! United States Senate. In 1914 Senannounced that he would I &*gain be a candidate. His change oVmlnd is based upon the conditions now brought about under the conditions resulting from the war. He says he can be of more service to the country by serving in the Senate for another term. It now seems that the Bolsheviki reign in Russia is about to come to its end in that unhappy country. The seat of government is to be set up at ! Moscow, the ancient ciptal. It would : seem that the non-peace element is , beginning to get the upper hand; but ^ it will avail nothing. Germany has trapped them?swallowed them whole. It now remains to he seen how Germany will digest the heavy meal. ivjitor iJetamp of the Gaffney Ledger has an editorial pointing out that the newspaper graveyard has grown considerably larger during the past year. The high price of material and labor is given as the cause of the many newspaper failures. } Failure to ask more for the paper is * also given as a contributing cause. Whether the cause or causes, it is , 1 true that many weeklies and not a < few dailies went under during the < past year or two. All of them, even the surivovrs had a hard and rugged path. The way is not yet smooth. Nor does the public feel any obliga tion to support the newspaper. Many 1 subscribers and many advertisers feel that they are contributing 'to c charity when they Pfty for subscrip- ^ tion or advertising space. Yet the newspaper earns every dollar it gets and as many more that it ^ never gets. It does more for the c community than any other single 1 agency in the matter of promoting 1 the general welfare of the common- r ity. It would be a poor situation indeed, if all the newspapers died. . 1 n .I / n* ? vara 01 i nanks. We desire to express our deep and sincere appreciation to our many 5 friends for their numberless deeds of ^ kindness redered to our loved one, Nannie Johnson Coleman in her ill- t. ness and death, p FJaeh and every one will lonpr be held dear to our hearts and we pray that the ever-present help in time of I trouble may be with each in joy and sorrow. The Family. OAKLAND Oakland, March 7.?That there will be more interest manfisted in agriculture this year than in many years previous may he centered on the fact that prices paid for all farm products tire higher and serve as a very great inducement to farmers who heretofore, have been very negligent and indifferent as to promoting this most worthy cause. Another fact which is vary gratifying to the industrious farmer is that the high-priced corn, corn meal, meat, molasses and various other commodities which he doesn't have to buy will not effect him in the least. The greatest disadvantage which confronts the farmer is the scarcity of farm labor and if no reliof is nrnnired the situation may prove to bo very serious. A plan which has been devised by the President and contends that as many as possible of the farming class which are in military service or subject to it be dismissed until a crop can be harvested will no doubt prove a great blessing to the nation if it is executed Mighty warships, puns and men are useless and worthless without bread. First, then it is bread that we may expect to produce all results as to victory in the war. The box supper at Oakland last Friday night proved to be quite a success. A neat sum of money was realized which will be used to defray expenses of school equipment. Among the several visitors from Union was Hon. acbeth Young and Mr. A. B. Carwile. Hon. Macbeth Young and Mr. A. B audience with a few but well appointed words and then proceeded to organize an auxiliary to the Union county chapter of the Red Cross. The required number of members were listed to become a co-laborer with the Union county chapter, and then the following officers were elected: Mr. J. Hayes Black, president; Miss Frances Cole, secrtary. Mr. James L. Carbery, the popular and efficient secretary of the Union Chamber of Commerce and Mr. A. B, Carwile, county demonstration agent came out to Oakland school house Sat urday night and organized an agricultural club with Mr. J. D. Smith as president. This organization is to promote the general farming interest. Not until Saturday night did the people of this community know that Mr. Carbery was a talented musician especially a violinist. No doubt the community feels somewhat indebted to Mr. Carbery and Miss Frances Cole for the sweet music rendered Saturday right. Another meeting was held at the school house last night in connection with the "pig club" work and to encourage cooperative seed buying among farmers. Many early gardens have already been planted and before any one can hardly realize it fresh vegetables will be abundant. 1 have been told that it costs the parties in town who try to have gardens 50 cents an hour to have their land plowed. If some men are patriotic enough to give lots for war gardens, then why can't some one furnish a horse to break the land ? Mr. A. R. Carwile was a business visitor to this section yesterday. He stopped at the home of the writer and was von' busily engaged for a while pruning some young peach trees in the orchard. T appreciate his timely suggestions very much. Mr. and Mrs. M. (). Belue entertained quite a number of the young people at their home Tuesday night. Music and frames being the principle feature of enjoyment. All had a grand a grand time. The writer spent the week-end visiting Mr. W. G. Bobo and family of Sedalia. Also attended preaching and Sunday school at Padgetts Creek rhureh Sunday morning. Miss Myrtle Parks and Miss Willie Hawkins of Union were the guests of Miss Bessie Miller for the week-end. Mises Ruby Smith .and Ix>rene Gault attended preaching at the First Baptist church in Union last Sunday. Miss Agatha Bamette was in the :ity' yesterday shopping. Mrs. W. A. E. Black was a visiter a the city yesterday. Notice. I'ffr1"" The City Registration Books are pen at my office in the store of The Jnion Clothing Co. Every one must egister for the City Election.
