' l : THURSDAY, MARCH 21, 1918. The sale by Hunt Brothers of cattle and hogs here today was, so far as we are able to judge, quite a success. One cow brought $325. This was one that gives six to eight gallons of milk per day. Some cow, that! Three or four like this one would be quite enough to run a respectable dairy.' Union is to have, at an eaidy day, a first-class bakery. The lease for five years has already heen taken and Union will soon be able to eat bread baked at home. We feel sure the enterprise will succeed, for our people will patronize it. This is one of the things that the Chamber of Commerce has done under the leadership of Sec- < retary Carbery. It is by no moans J all 'that has recently been done, but it shows that we have a wide-awake ( man at the head of our organization. \ Small enterprises help and help won- * derfully. Sometime ago when the bakery matter came up in a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce some of those present expressed the opinion i that it would be impossible to get a * baker to locate in Union at this time, 1 ?wing to the strict regulations im- ^ posed upon such enterprises by the Food Administration. That a baker. 1 and an experienced one, too, could be secured has been demonstrated. He ' has already been located. , A representative of the State Tax ] Commission was in Union yesterday , to meet with the County Board of As- ' sessors, Auditor Betenbaugh and a number of citizens. From all we could learn, Union , County has been paying upon a high- 1 er levy than many other counties in the State. The movement to have | all property returned at 100# of its j value, then pay upon 42# of that value are the requirements of the Tax Commission. Many who have been, ' under the old arrangement, paying too much, will pay less, many who have heretofore been paying too little 1 will pay more from now on. The representative of the commission yesterday gave full assurance 1 that all those counties that did not require the returns to he made on the 1 100# basis, will have to go over the work, the auditors being required to add the per cent necessary; all will ] fare alike?Union County and all others. It seerns to us a very just and wise move. It certainly will help towards : equalizing taxes. It will get at quite ^ a number of tax dodgers, many of ^ them being such without intent to do ' wrong. It will, in the end, reduce the estate tax levy. The representative of the State Tax Commission complimen ted Auditor Betenbaugh upon his , faithfulness in carrying out the or- ' tiers. 1 Wouldn't it he fine if somebody ' would come along and eradicate the 1 ticks in politics.?Wilmington Dis- ' patch.

Vero. burlap Sacks Should Be Saved As information to the farmers we ire asked to publish the following etter from Mr. Coker, of the Council )f Defense, to Mr. iJong, of the Exension Force: 'Dr. W. W. Long, Clemson College, S. C. Vly Dear Doctor:? I think it would be well for you to all attention, through the Clemson Journal and also direct, of all your igents to the great importance of saving all burlap hags on the farm. I lave received only one quotation for mtton sheets this spring, and that was !)r>c each, which would maan, with freight and expenses added, a reail price of around $1.00 as against in average retail j>rice in the past of ? iround 2r>c per sheet. If the farmers will preserve all ferilizer sacks and wash them promptly ihey can make out of them a fair quality cotton sheet at practically no mst. If they have a surplus of baprs :hey can he easily sold for far mora than new hags were formerly worth. Yours very truly, (Signed) David R. Cokar, Chairman S. C. Council of Defense." Merchants' Association Loses President ?7- H Manila, P. I., March 10.?Much regret is felt at the decision of Mr. Harold M. Pitt to resign as president of the Manila Merchants' Association. During his past five years of service Mr. Pitt has been most active in his work to promote the commercial interests of the Philippine Islands. He has condicted a publicity campaign to bring to the attention of American capitalists the advantages of investment in the islands, and has worked hard to secure legislation in the islands favorable to the advancement of their commercial prestige. The Manila Merchants' Association Review, compiled and edited by Mr. Pitt, has been consulted by business men throughout the United States and nnnfn/1 in oil fVin Imnnrfont fro/lo inni*_ V| MVVVU *11 (ill vuv I1IIJIVI vuiiv tmvic jvuirials and business publications, and has done much to promote the interests of the islands. Mr. Pitt has offered his assistance in the editing of future numbers of the Review, and will also serve as a director of the association. New Candidate I hereby announce myself a candidate for election to the office of Commissioner of Public Works for the City of Union, and pledge myself to abide the decision of the Democratic primary. P. E. WILBURN. Like An Electric Button On Toes Tells why a corn is so painful and says rutting makes them grow Press an electric button and you form a contact with a live wire which rings the bell. When your shoes press against your com it pushes its sharp roots down upon a sensitive nerve and you get a shock of pain. Instead of trimming your corns, which merely makes them grow, just step into any drug store and ask for a quarter of an ounce of freezone. this will cost very little but sufficient to remove every hard or soft com or callus from one's feet. A few drops applied directly upon a tender, aching com stops the soreness instantly, and soon the corn shrivels up so it lifts rigrht out, root and all, without pain. This drug freezone is harmless and never inflames or even irritates the surrounding: skin. To the People of Union and Union County! I wish to thank you for favors of the past, but also to ask you in an informal, friendly way if my house still stands at 100 per cent with you in service and satisfaction; in short, is there anything, no matter how insignificant, that you recall that has or can place any prejudice in the way of continued business. I ask this broadly, let it include prices, delivery, attention or courtesy, anything, in fact, that could in the remotest way militate against more business and greater satisfaction for the ensuing year. Tf you visit our place we are sure you will not be disappointed in our brand of hospitality, for we shall feel a real pleasure in meeting you. We have on hand one of the host stocks of meats that we have been able to tret since we opened onr market in Union. We also carrv a complete line of canned poods, dried fruits, etc. Tf our service does not please you call 41 and we will make it ripht. J. L.
