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
