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.

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.
