Valdez is fast improving in ap- pearance. New buildings are be- ing erected all over the town, yards are being fenced in and cleaned up, and the sidewalks and crosswalks that are being built are a great improvement to the town. The time of the cross-lots trail and the log shack is over, and we will soon have as neat residence DOT tion of the town as any one could desire. Nothing gives visitor a better impression of the perman- ency and stability of a place than attractive homes and well kept streets and yards.

Yes, Mr.. Editor, we have men
here from every quarter of the globe,
and every class of people under the
broad canopy of heaven, and they
are all here for the one and the self
same object-the almighty dollar,
Some came with money, but the most
of them came without money. Some
with poor mans fortune, lot of
worthless children. And a goodly
number came from the States dodg-
ing the clutches of the law. We
have a man to represent every laud-
able pursuit of life: and then a man
that represents everything that is not
laudable. We have law to make
men do right, and law to make
men do wrong. A law to kill men
ahd a law to make men. This would
seem strange to some of THE TIMES
readers: When a man comes in and
acts a little crooked, he is tested
by the law, and if he thinks he can't
prove up alright and the law
is about to overtake him, he general
ly seeks other fields for his depre-
dations. We have law to kill men
and with the same law teach men to
do right and make better citizens.
But taking this question in all Of its
various details, we have class Of
people that answers to the name of
good citizenship remarkably well,
considering that they are from Dan
and they are from Beersheba, and
also from the distant isles of the sea,
and all seem to do we'll together for
strangers. We have said this was
no place 70 raise a family, but you
would think l was a little wrong
about that if you could see the great
piles of bricks and stone that hes
gone up for the housing and comfort
of our children. Bulldogs that cost
$50, 900; and the very best of teach
ers that can be employed, and you
will say we need them, and we do.
In my next letter l shall tell you
why l came to this town and what
was in store for me.
Long live the Editor.

The fine tomatoes brought to
Union this week by Messrs. Cunning.
ham and Eison show conciusively
that We can raise this vegetable to
perfection. Oar great trouble is,
however, in the fact that the vegeta-
BILE is so perishable. So it is with all
fruits and vegetables-they are 80
soon gone to waste. Why not can
these products? Tomatoes, corn,
beans, okra, peaches and other fruits
and vegetable are exceedingly palat-
able and wholesome, even when
canned. One small canning factory
would cost little to start. The ex-
pense Of running it would be very
small. The farmers would have to
cooperate. This might be the most
serious hindrance.

chicken mites, and 1 have seen q few
millions. Mother had a hen sitting in a
small box, and had only been sitting
about two weeks, when we noticed that
the box was bordered with them. They
were in stacks almost aud when torch
was used to burn them, they fell off in
Jumps. We saw that would not do, as
that was scattering them, SO the box
was carried off, singed and then washed
with creoline. The old hen was pole
headed, and about to give up her job,
went away off, and was starding with
wings hanging down, and she was jerked
up and given thorough washing, 50 she
might finish up, but she had gone on a
strike and it was nearly sundown before
confidence was restored enough for her
to resume her duties, then she went at

While in attendance upon the State
Press Association which met recently
at White Stone Springs one of mem
bers asked the Editor OF THE TINES
how many people were in Union.
When told that there were seven
thousand he seemed greatly sur
prised. He supposed there were but
three or four thous and at the most.
There has been no blowing of trum-
pets, no whooping up process. There
has been something far better-a
steady growth upon an enduring ba-
sis. Our large manufacturing indus
tries have come, and come to stay.
The Improvements in bull lings have
been steady. Real estate has stead
lily advanced in price. New resi-
dences, new business houses, new
public buildings are in process OF
erection. Others are seriously con-
templated. Yet, SO far as the writer
knows, there is no vacant store house
in the town of Union. Last week a
dwelling house was nearing compile
ton. When it was known that it
would be for rent, perhaps a dozen
applications for the house were made
although it was at least two weeks
before the building could be com.
pleted One NJ our raal aatota man
Mr.. j. M. Johnson, was applied to
for a house. He told the applicant
that every house he had was occu.
pied and that he could rent two
dozen more il he had them. The fact
is, we are steadily increasing in pop
ulation. The boarding houses are
full. Houses to rent are occupied.
Store rooms are not to be had. Last
spring the writer visited Elberton,
Ga. The town presents a splendid
appearance, but it was a striking
fact that there were number of va
can't dwellings and stores. Here we
are packed to the full limit. In fact
we must increase our houses and
store room. No boasting, no cheap
shouting Of our own praises is needed.
Steadily, quietly moving forward, in
the future as in the past, we shall
find yet greater achievements ahead
of US.

UNION, s. c., JULY "a, 1908.

Judging from the papers, the
small pox has by no means run it's
course in the State. Union had her
share of this scourge several years
ago. For several years after, an oc-
casional case would show itself. But
our people learned the value of vacci-
nation. The small pox disappeared
with the general submission to vacci-
nation. But do not let US be too sure Of
our security. Let every one that has
not been vaccinated call in his family
physician and have the matter at
tended to. To fight vaccination is to
throw ones self in opposition to
science and also the lessons Of the
past. One thing is certain the edi-
tor of THE TIMES would fear to ride
on the trains, travel about over the
State or mingle with the people in
thickly populated districts but for
the fact that he has submitted, time
and again, to being vaccinated.

II the report be true, the German
Emperor said to one Of his trusted
servants: "The social democr attic
gang must be eliminated with fire
and sword" There may be no truth
in the statement, but if the German
Emperor did say such a thing he has
less sense than he has been credited
with having. The "fire and sword"
method has been tried before and
found wanting. In On enlightened
country like Germany it is preemi-
nently true that for ruler to play
with fire and sword would be to
engage in dangerous business The
democratic ideas are forcing them
selves further and further into the
great heart Of the mass of humanity.
II the idea should run to seed in
some instances and some localities
by developing into socialism this
need not alarm any one. Every good
thing must have it's counterfeit. No
nation among those that are enlight-
ened can ever again be a "foot- ball
for kings to kick" There is grow
ing probability that the kicking will
come from the other side.

An item of the cost of smallpox is
suggested by the anuaI report of DR..
Lee, of the Pennsylvania State Board
Of Health. The value OF human lives,
the cost of death and of illness have
often been estimated, and the results
are convincing arguments that the
public should, for purely polite and
financial reasons, do all in its power
to eradicate disease and prevent un-
necessary death.
In the last year there were, accord
ing to DR.. Lee 6, 504 cases of smallpox
in the state, with SOB deaths.
\ somewhat careful calculation bas-
ed upon these reports, leads to the con
clusiom that in the counties reporting
about /, 800, GOO school days were lost
during the period reported on. This
does not include the great cities of the
state, which would swell the figures
enormously. In Philadelphia for in
stance, eleven elementary schools.
with an enrolment of more than 5000
pupils. were closed in single day be-
cause of smallpox in the families Of
pupils. In round numbers we may
therefore place the number of lost
school days in the state, from small
pox, at not less than 1900, 600. If we
take POO as about the average number

PLEASANT LOVE
ROMANCE

Miss Louisa Shultz of this city will
leave tomorroE for Los Angeles, Cali
fornia, where she Will become the
bride Of George Weiser.
The marriage is the elimination OF
a pleasant little love romance which
began in this city and in which two
hearts remained constant to each other
although separated by nearly the en-
tire width of the continent.
Mr. Weiser, the prospective groom
Is a prosperous young business man OF
Los Angeles. He was a native of this
section and for a period Of four years
or so was with John Jacobs & Sons of
this city, where he served an sppren-
ticeship as baker and confectioner. Ii
was during these days that he became
acquainted with Miss Shultz.
Completing his apprenticeship Nj
Weiser went West locating in Los
Angeles where he is now associated
with his brother in business.
Miss Shultz, from the time she WAS
very little girl lived with the late
Miss Chrissie Wands. vt present she
is spending a few days with the par
enrs OF her intended husband near
Pottsgrove The wedding will take
place about Christmas.
Change in Method of Examination.
The Civil Service Commission has
adopted a new plan for holding ex-
aminations in the various cities of the
state
Under the old rule examinations
were held yearly in each town for
clerk and carrier, and were conducted
by board composed Of employees OF
the local post office All those can
didates receiving over 20 per cent.
were accepted and placed on a wait
ing list until there was a vacancy.
The new system divides the post
offices of the country into districts. In
stead Of the local board conducting ex-
aminations alone it is reinforced By
an examiner sent out from the district
headquarters, who has charge of the
test.
The most important change is the
abolition of examinations except where
there is a vacancy. Those placed on
the waiting list after the yearly ex-
aminations under the old plan were
compelled to undergo examinations
every year until they secured a posi-
ton. Many waited years for vacancy.
With the establishment of the new
system examinations will be held only
when necessary. He who makes the
highest average will get the position,
and those who fall below will not be
kept on waiting list hoping some
one will quit, but will forget it and
wait until there Is another vacancy,
when they can try again.
