THIS EDITION OF THE TIMES.

We feel some degree of pride in
this issue of The Times. The educa-
tiOnal feature, both as to substance
and mechanical workmanship we feel
sure will appeal to all those citizens
who are interested in the welfare of
this county. We do not regret the
extra money nor the extra work it
has brought us. We feel that a news
paper should not only be interested
in the present, but should treasure
the traditions and history of the com
munity in which it lives. 1t should
contribute whatever it can to the edu-
CatiOnal and moral advancement of
the community as well as give the
happenings of the daily life of the
community. The past, the prese,.
and the future should each occupy
place in the pages of the worthy
newspaper. The moral and mental
as well as the commercial advance
ment of the community should be
emphasized in its pages. We gladly
"cnd out the present issue in the be-
lief that we are contributing in some
degree to each phase of our well be-
mo

LET'S DO BUSINESS.

Beginning Friday morning and con
tinulng through Saturday of the next
week, period of nine days, the mer-
chants of Union are advertising for
big business. We venture the asser-
tion that the people of Union county
never had offered them such attrac-
tive prices as this nine-day sale of.
fers. AS matter of fact, the mer-
chants are loaded with seasonable,
merchandise. The farmer is holding
cotton. This has tendency to make
business slack. The merchants are
determined to meet the situation by
low prices. We venture the assertion
that you will find the goods advertis-
ed in this weeks Times to be lower in

KELTON

Kelton, Oct. 5.-We are having
plenty of rain now which is retard-
ing the picking of cotton. The fields
are white with the fleecy staple.
News is scarce on the Ridge.
A great many farmers are having
their cotton ginned as fast as picked
and a good many are selling some of
it; some of them are getting 1Oc on
guano accounts while the most of it
is sold straight at 7 1-2c which pay
debts mighty slow. If we are to
get any help from the government or
other sources, it should be forthcom-
ing at once, or it will be too late.
Mrs. James F. Fowler died at
Jonesville last Thursday morning at
six o'clock. She was sick only few

Fowler, who had nine children, eight
daughters and one son. She was the

Pauline Page of Pacolet, Mrs. Ellen
f. Gault of Kelton, and one brother,

The improvement of the schools in
Union county is an investment that
will pay in intelligent citizenship.
There is no one line of human en-
deavor that will bring forth good
fruit more surely. The boy of six
teen will be a sovereign citizen in five
years. He will be your juryman, your
witness, your voter. Upon his shoLl-
derS will gradually fall the cares and
responsibilities of the farm, the shop,
the mill, the mercantile establish
ment. Union county does well to in
vest in her schools. 1t will pay enor-
nous dividends in the very near fu-
ture.

Mexico City. July 21.-In a little
more than three years five presidents
of Mexico have held forth in the ma

other president will be installed. The
sixth to take the reins of government
since the beginning of the Madero
revolution late in 1910 will be Venus

ton is already rife as to whether he
will be strong enough to bring peace
to the distracted republic and wise
enough to solve her many problems.
On May rs. 1911, Diaz resigned
the presidency. Francisco de la Bar
ra was chosen provisional president
until an election could be held. Ma

Washington. July 21.-Provisional
President Carbajal does not intend tc

Carranza and will concentrate his
military forces and resist invasion
rather than permit the constitutional.

MATTER SET FOR
VOTE ON THURSDAY

Washington, July 21.-Representa.
tive James T. McDermott Of Illinois.
on the floor Of the house. offered his
resignation to take effect Immediately.
McDermott Is under charges in con-
nection with lobby investigation.
Charged With Irregularities.
McDermott, democrat, representing
the constituency which includes the
Chicago stockyards district was one Of
the figures in the exposure of Martin
NJ. Mulhall. star witness in the lobby
investigation.
The majority report Of the inveeti-
eating committee, now ready to como
before the house, recommended that
McDermott be expelled from the
house.
Resignation a Sensation.
His resignation came as sensation,
when, Immediately after the house
had assembled, he rose to question
Of personal privilege, and offered
resignation from the floor, declaring
he would appeal his case {" to the peo-
pie of the Fourth district Of Illinois,"
Already Candidate.
McDermott said he had already
forwarded his resignation to Cover
nor Dunno at Springfield. and had
announced himself as candidate for
reelection. He presented a letter to
the speaker announcing his resigna-
'tion.
UNFORTUNATELY" he said. Il, came
to this house as poor man; for
tunately% for myself, however, takirS
into consideration the Character; Of
the charges made against me, leave
this house poor man. I have been
compelled during my services as a
member Of this house to borrow
money from my friends. It SO hap
pened that afterward they became
opponents of legislation which passed
the house affecting their business as
pawn brokers and as liquor dealers.
Bitter Arraignment.
1T is true that I have not had the
educational training and the social
training and advantages that other
members Of this house may boast. I
have been invited to many places in
Chicago and elswhere that perhaps
some members may think above my
social station. but I preferred to as-
sociate with the men and boys in the
great Union stock yards"
Charged by Nfulhall.
Mu1hall charged that McDermott
permitted him to use his congression-
al frank for circulating matter for the
Manufacturers association, and that
McDermott claimed to have received
$500 from pawn brokers, to work
against the federal loan sharks law
and $4,000 campaign contribution
from the Chicago Brewers assocition
The case was set to come before
the house for a vote on Thursday.

has been that of any Of his three i'm
mediate predecessors. But If Car
rama cannot keep peace with Villa,
the latter may at any time start an
other revolution which will sweep
Carranza out Of power, and bring
more chaos to the republic.
Carhajal, who will be the ad inter-
i'm president Of Mexico until the Con-
stitutionalists get ready to take over
the government, is one Of the lead
Ing lawyers of the republic. He is
highly educated, Of pure Castilian
origin. and is. a member Of the Mexi-
can aritsocracy.
Carbajal was practically unknown
outside OF NJ exico prior to the spring
Of 1911. He had for a few years
pervious to that time been a justice
of the supreme court Of Mexico, an
office which he owed to the friend
ship of Porfirio Diaz It was in the
spring of 1911 that Carbajal gained
a reputation outside of Mexico by
bringing about the peaceful abdica-

The Pull of
Advertising

Advertising does not jerk
sIT PULLS" says John Wan
amaker.
Illustrating this remark the
observations Of a large roofing
manufacturer are interesting.
He makes q branded article and
advertises It exclusively in the
newspapers the world over.
"If it ie an advertisement Of
our company the reader en-
counters 1t gradually, and sub
consciously the thought filters
through his mind that this
roofing is the best purchasble
roofing.
"A year or so later, when the
occasion demands that he buy
roofing. he thinks Of this kind
Of roofing and asks for it.
"If he talks about the con-
!templated purchase OF roofing
with the members Of the FAM
ily, they too. have read the
daily papers, and say, Why
don't you buy roofing? !?
They do this because they boz
lieve they know something
about this kind Of roofing, and

Irish Home Rule Question
Reaches Remarkable Point
of Interest.
GREAT CROWDS SEE
COMING OF CONFERES
King George, Instigator Of Conference,
Meets Delegates Personally-Meet-
ing Of Party Leaders Apparently
Friendly, but Hardly Cordial.

London, July 21.-So deep is the in
classes in the crisis which has arisen
G over the Irish home rule question,
that great crowds gathered outside
Buckingham palace to witness the ar
rival Of party leaders who participat-
ed in the conference inaugurated by
King George. with view Of bringing
about q. peaceful settlement.
Rt. Hon. James Lowther, speaker
Of the house Of commons. who was
chosen. to preside over the conference.
was first to appear. He was followed
by eight men who represent the va
rious parties. liberal. unionalist. ma
tionalist and Ulsterite.
King George Greets Them.
King George. with Baron Stamford
ham. his private secretary. received
the statesmen and shook hands cor
daily with all of them.
Probably this is the first time that
John e. Redmond and John Dillon,
Irish nationalist leaders, had ex-
changed greetings with their sover-
eign, as it has been the practice OF
nationalist members of parliament to
remain away from all functions
WHERE ulcNlUcTS OI LIl0 mousse Ol CO1u
mons are likely to be brought into
contact with royalty.
First Meeting.
The meeting Of conservative and
liberal leaders on such intimate foot
ing was apparently friendly, but could
not have been cordial, as Premier As
quith and Andrew Bonar Law have
been barely on speaking terms, as
Law practically accused the premier
IN the house Of commons of lying
about recent plans to suppress Ulster
volunteers.
Chilly Gathering.
The marquis Of Landsdowne, lead.
er Of the unionists in the house OF
lords. and David Lloyd George, chan
cellor of the exchequef.7stw Acf, the
other conferees, represent the mos
extreme aristocratic and democratic
schools Of British politics, and art
generally believed. to be bitter per.
sonai enemies. ,-l.res.>f' y "
Since personal feeling among the
politicians in the United Kingdom
never ran so high as at present, the
atmosphere of the gathering could not
have been otherwise than extremely
chilly and formal.
Short Session.
After brief conversation, King
George withdrew. leaving the con.
ferees to their deliberations.
The conference, after being In ses-
sion an hour and half, adjourned
for the day, but will meet again to-
morrow.
