FOR WHOM TO VOTE?

We cannot tell you; would not if
we could; but we do not know just
the individuals to point out and say:
"Vote for these" 1t would be too
personal, too pointed and altogether
too impolite. But we do say: "Vote
for competent men; vote for honest
men; vote for independent, self-re-
liant men; vote for clean men, high
mirded men; vote for such men, no
natter whether it be your personal
friend or your personal foe. A citi-
zen should be big enough and broad
enough and wise enough to chose the
man best qualified, no matter wheth-
er it be friend or foe.

REST ROOM SECURED.

The rest rooms being fitted up by
the Union Chamber of Commerce are
now having the. plumbing work done
and efforts are on foot to furnish
these rooms, located over the Cit
ziens National bank. Mr.. A. G. Ken
nerly, secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce, requests contributions
from all those who are desirous of
having these rooms fitted up for the
convenience of ladies coming to Un-
ion from the country to shop. He

fact, anything that will help on this
good work. Let every merchant help
a little, and the thing will be accom-
plished. 1t is good inove-one that

and every business man in Union
should help fit up these rooms.

NO BODY is FOUND.
W. e. Poole Has Disappeared From
Home in Mill Village at Spar
tanburg.

Spartanburg, April 29.-Leaving. a
note to his wife Tuesday night an,
nouncing that he intended to throw
himself into the mill pond to end "his
troubles" w. E. Poole, overseer of

o, YOU SPLIT-LOG DRAG!

Say brother, have you journeyed
up and down and through and
through this good county of Union
recently? Did you notice how rough
the road was? Did you think how
easily the. rough roads could have
been made reasonably smooth, and
that, too, with little expense? If we
just could-shall we say it again :?
If we just could get split log drag
over the roads one time after each
heavy rain, it would work wonders.
Two good citizens out at Sedalia did
do this very thing. And they should
be given the thanks of every weary
traveller along that highway. More
sand for the muddy places; more clay
for the sand beds and then--more use
of the split-log drag, and our road
problem is solved

Edisonia theatre, is having construct
ed an airdome, an open air theatre, in
the rear of the building now occupied
by the Edisonia, and will have a sepa-

airdome will be electrically lighted
and electric fans will be installed.
Mrs. Storm hopes to have the new

Joy for maiden and for man,
Marry in the month of May,
You will surely rue the day.

Over land and seas you'll go. g

Only joy will come, remember.

PREACHER
SWORE TOO FREELY.

Atlanta, Ga, April 29.-The Rev.
G. b. kRagsdale, pastor of the Plum
Street Baptist church here, who re-
Gently made affidavit that he heard
James Conley, a negro, confess the
tAlrdeg of Mary Phagan, a 14-year-
old factory girl, and then repudiated
his sworn declaration, has resigned
his charge.
The action of the minister followed
visit from a committee of the
church, 1T was announced tonight. A
meeting of the church's membership
has been called for tomorrow night
to take action on the resignation.
Arguments on the pending extra
ordinary motion for new trial for
Leo M. Frank, the factory superin-
tendent, under sentence of death for
the murder, will be resumed in the
superior court here Friday.
Conley, the negro, was a sweeper
in the plant of the National Pencil
company, of which Frank was SUI
perintendent. He was the chief wit
ness for the State at Franks trial,
saying that he aided in the disposal
of the body in the factory basement.
Conley was sentenced to one years
Imprisonment as an ACCESSORY.
Suit was filed here TODAY by a ma
tional detective agency against the
National Pencil company. for 81 200
for services in investigating the case.
This agency's services preceded the
work Of another agency. A partial
report OF the latter recently held
Frank to be innocent. /.

Shall the Press Be Free?

About one hundred and fifty years
were required for the establishment
of the freedom of the press in EAk.
land and even after tha-his4e~6fs -
tie waged in Parliament and in the
courts by Thomas Erskine, John
Wilkes and other in the closing years
of the Eighteenth century, it was not
then fully established.
The King and his officers were ever
| jealous of the press. They were the
administration. The people were ever
demanding more liberty from the
crown and the press, deriving its sup
port from the people,, championed the
cause of the people. Of course the
King and his administration hated the
press. Of course the King sent edi-
tors to jail when he could. OF course
the press has little freedom in Russia
now.
The trouble with South Carolina, in
a political sense, is that South Caro-
lima is behind the times-half a cen
tury behind the times, or, maybe, a
hundred years, in some respects.
If many of the people can't or
won't understand what Thomas JEFF
ferson meant when he said that he
would prefer no government and q
newspaper press to any government
and no newspaper press, then the
press of South Carolina has before it
much the same kind of struggle that
the press of England had more than
a century ago. In time, the people
will learn who their friends are but,
until their eyes are opened, they can
not see. Ignorant people are blind
people and to be pitied, not blamed.
for their blindness.
Looking the situation squarely in
the face, it would be curious were the
press free in South Carolina, as it is
free now in Massachusetts and in
other States where no considerable
part of the people are in the shackles
of ignorance.
In the Twentieth century ignor-
ance is not compatible with a full
measure of liberty of any kind.
The ignorant man is enslaved with
out knowing it and so his strength *
manipulated by designing persons to
enslave others. That is true in every
State.
No newspaper in South Carolina
now or at any time is a candidate for
public office,
The newspaper that plays false
with the people, sooner or later,
starves.
When the people punish the press
without cause they strangle them
selves.
There is a popular notion that the
press of South Carolina is habitual-
ly harsh in it's expressions. Nothing
could be further from the truth. IN
New York, in Pennsylvania, in all
advanced States, newspapers are say
ing severer things about public men
than our newspapers habitually say.
1t is well that they do; otherwise, the
masses of the people would be vic
timized by grafters more than they
are victimized by them.
There is nothing new in the preju-
dice against newspapers in this State
Designing leaders of ignorant peopla
always have sown the seeds of it and
have always cultivated it and thev
always will cultivate it. Years must
pass and sacrifices must be made be-
fore the press of South Carolina shall
be free in the sense that the consti-
tuition of the State contemplates.-
