We resolved several years ago that
we would build our mail list to 5000
or never be satisfied. This aim is
now almost realized. We are nearing
the 5000 mark. We feel quite proud
of this achievement, and intend to
make a better paper than we have
ever made. Before this summer is
over we feel confident we will have
reached the full 5000. This fall we
purpose making material improve
ment in our paper. Many of our
friends have told US we had the best
county weekly in the State. But we
are by no means satisfied with our
attainments. Our motto is: "Plu<

An Inquiry.

Special to The Times.
Union, S. C., Aug. 8.-In looking
over thursdays issue of "The Sum-
published in Baltimore, Nd, this
heading caught my eye, "Gasoline
Costs Less" Last years price at 18
cents has dropped to II cents whole
sale. The consumer pays about 13
cents as around 20 cents this tim4
last year. AS l read this article the
thought occurred to me, "Why is
there such difference in the price in
Union and Baltimore?" This article
went on to state that there had been
a gradual decline of about 25 cents
within the past 80 days. The whole
sale price of gasoline in Union is
II 1-2 cents and the retail price has
recently been reduced from 90 cents
to ~ cents per gallon. I would like
to know from some one who is more
familiar with the situation than am
to explain why there has been no re.
duction in the price in Union in the
past 30 days.

ROME, oct. ls.--(Speelal Cablegram to

quls Di San Giulano's death has caused
profound grief throughout Italy, for his
ability as a statesman and his saeri-
flee for his country were appreciated,
whoever succeeds him as minister OF for
eign affairs, the general impression Is
that Italy's foreign policy will not be
changed.
An italian statesman said today;
"Italy stands on rock basis eonsti-
tuted by her right her reputation before
the world and her vital interests. II Ia
known that neutrality was proclaimed be-
cause no clause IN the triple-alliance
treaty required Italy TO assist Germany
and Austria IN tho present war.
This neutrality win not be abandoned
for advantageous promises coming from
either side. since II would be dishonor-
able to sell our participation In the con-
flict as did the armed bands OF the mid
die ages. Besides, the country would not
stand aggression against France, which
now has her Italian frontier entirely pro-
tected nor against Austria, without Sc
rious reason.
This does not mean that italy Is not
Arming or will not eventually join in
the war II circumstances arise erdan-
gering some of her most vital interests.
That was the policy pursued by Minister
Di San Giulsno. and the came policy will
