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.

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.
