THURSDAY, MAY 16, 1918. Kaiser Wilhelm is, no doubt, beginning to realize that, after all, America, the country for which he had much contempt, is not so insignificant as he had thought. 'The one thing that is troubling the mind of Kaiser Bill .lust now, is this same America. The Red Cross drive for the second hundred million dollar fund to carry on the great war work of this organization begins Monday. Judge \V. W. Johnson, county chairman, is calling upon Union County for ten thousand dollars, our part of the money to be raised. Here is a chance for you to help a great institution of mercy, and it will make you a better man, or woman, so to do. The committees will begin an active canvass on Mon* day morning and the. drive is to continue throughout the week. The Southern Baptist convention, now in session at Hot Springs, Ark., has voted women full and equal rights with men. The vote was carried by an overwhelming majority, and was on a motion to amend the convention constitution. Women now are not only entitled to represent their churches in the convention, but may be elected to any office in the convention. It is not surprising that the Baptists with -4i>o?Jr democratic leanings, should have taken this step. The surprising thing is that they should have been so slow to make the move. We urge upon the ministers of Union the request of Governor Manning that on May 30, be set apart as a day of fasting and prayer, and particularly the request that all business houses be closed for one hour and a great gathering of the people be held in some suitable place and the meeting a mammoth prayer service. The ministers might consult together and decide wher the meeting is to be held, and at what hour. Will not Mr. 1 Speake or Mr. Matheson or Mr. Blackwelder one or all, take up this matter and direct it? It is presumed i that every business fyouse in the city will be willing to close for this one hour. At the Union Mills, Ex- ' celsior, Monarch, Buffalo and Ottarny, the pastors could also get together and arrange for a gathering i of the people to prayer. \ WOMEN AS BONI) BUYERS In The Union Times a list of 83 purchasers of Liberty Bonds in the little town of Jonesville is printed and I 30 of them are women. The individr ual purchases of the women are as large as are those of the men, as a rule. Included in the list are a chap ter of the Daughters of the Confederacy and the Women's Circle of the Woodmen of the World. This showing by the women of Jonesville is not exceptional in South Carolina. In all of the cities and towns the women have purchased 1 liberally, more liberaly, we believe proportionately to their property holdings and earning capacity, than the men. It would scarcely be just to say that they are more patriotic than the men, hut the idea of "playing safe" is more firmly placed in their ' minds. Many a woman in making investments of money has been deceived a they know their lack of financial ex- 1 perience, and, so, when ^ security is 1 offered the attending risk of which r is negligible, they "go after it." 1 Moreover, the women will ppy out > of their own savings a much larger 1 proportion of their subscription for i bonds than the men will. A man will I give his note in hank and take the < chances of raising the money to meet 1 it, however, he have not a cent in his 1 pocket, hut the average woman buy- ' ing bonds either has all or part of the 1 I V % \ CHARTER NO. 2060 REPORT OF CO] Merchants & Plan AT UNION, IN THE STATE OF S OF BUSINESS < RESO Ijoans and discounts Overdrafts, unsecured, ........m*,.
