Farmers and
Planters
Of Union County
LiSten!

When Cotton was worth
SEC to &c per pound, we Of
fered as an evidence of our
friendship and desire to
help where help was needed,
to take one bale each of first
class cotton from the first
twenty planters who ap-
piled for the same and pay
them 1Oc per pound for
same allowing them to Sc
lect any article that we had
to sell, which embraces ev-
erything to eat for man and
beast, just as though they
were paying the money, al
lowing them to trade it all
at one time or as needed or
wanted at whatever price
was prevailing at the time
of purchase.
On this offer we have already
taken several bales more than
we offered to take, and have in
vested for the benefit of the
farmers of Union County some
thing like thirteen or fourteen
hundred dollars. This cotton
shows us now an average loss
Of about twenty dollars per bale
but we have faith in the
farmers Of Union County. We
believe the country is safe and
we believe you know that you
have no better friends than the
Old Reliable-The Union Groc-
cry Company, and will stand by
and help us to weather the
storm. u
4
Cotton is now worth around
6H cents per pound and we
still have the biggest, best,
freshest and fullest stock of
everything good to eat in
this part of South Carolina
at the lowest live and let live
prices. And we offer again
to take one bale of good
middling, unstained cotton
from each of the first ten
Union County farmers only,
paying for same eight cents
per pound in any item we
carry in stock, just the same
prices as if you were paying
cash money for same. If
$3.50 TO $1,000 per bale
premium is worth anything
to you this is what our offer
means.
Don't wait until the bot
tom drops out again, or un-
til the offer is exhausted as
some 50 Of our good friends
did in the case of our other
offer. Now is the time to
sow every nook and corner
of your farm with profita-
bic grain and market crops.
We have the Wheat, Oats,
Vetch, Rape, Red Glover,
Crimson Glover, Barley,
Rye, Turnip Seed, Mustard
Seed, Lettuce, Seed and On
ion Sets of all kinds. So
get busy and phone, write
or see us at once. If you
want US to help shoulder the
load fol-, you.

Ben C. Elliott, the popular young
architect, has outlined a plan of the
City Beautiful for Mexico at the sug-
gestion of Mrs. c. F. Clark and will
place it on display in M of the show
windows this week. The plan embod-
les what Mexico has today also the
Rex Mcdonald drinking fountain and
the D. A. r. fountain, both of which
are to be erected in the near future.
Mr.. Elliott's plan is well worth zee
ing and has possibilities.
The plan includes, besides the pub
lie buildings we have now andthe Rim
go Hotel, one of Mexico's historic
structures, a Woman's Federated
League building at the corner of
Love and Washington streets; the
new Jail, a new city hall with drink
ing fountain in front and located on
the present site of the City Hall; and
a Y. M. C. A. building on the Hisey
lot Just north of the Hotel HoXsey
and a new hospital.

STOLE COAT, KILLED

This is a story with a moral.
A Mr.. English, who travels for N.
X. Fairbanks of st. Louis left his
sample case and grips in the Wabash
station, Wednesday night, and said
nothing to the agent about them.
Closely following him was a person
age well known to the world as a
"hobo." The "hobo," having a very
lenient code of morals, appropriated
the grips for his own use and boarded
a Chicago & Alton freight train with
the luggage.
He looted the grip and donned Mr..
English's coat and hat. Those who
saw him later say he didn't look like
he was used to a coat and that article
of wearing apparel is supposed to
have caused the tragedy. At any rate
the "hobo" fell under the train near
Nebo, ILL.,, and was killed. When his
body was found he was still wearing
the hat and coat. The grip was found
on top Of a freight train at Rood
house, III.

Macon Booming Under Drys


Macon, NO., Oct. S.-0ne argument
the "wets' used to use with great en-
ergy in their campaign here was that
business would be ruined when the
town went dry. Macon has now been
without saloons for about six months
and full opportunity has been given to
note the results. A dozen merchants
were interviewed Saturday and they
reported they had all enjoyed the best
Saturdays trade for a year Or more.
It was a good day. The roads were
in fine condition and many people
used them in coming to town. All day
long motor cars were coming and 60
ing, and from early morning until
far into the night nearly every merch-
ant and his clerks were busy. One
barber said that he took in more mo-
ney Saturday than he had at any time
since he has been in business here.
During the noon hour every restau-
rant was crowded, although it had
been said last winter that Macon had
too many restaurants for the size of
the town.
For a week or so following the
withdrawal of the saloon things look
ed a little dead and Immediately a
great cry was raised that the absence
of the saloons had killed the town.
But with the coming of the harvest
the improvement of the roads and
the advent of cooler weather condi-
tions Immediately righted themselves
and trade started up again more ac-
| tive than it had been before. No one
now claims that the town being dry
has hurt business. The merchants are
entirely satisfied with conditions and
are looking forward to increasing
trade right along up to the new year

Many improvements at Hardin

The large crowd attending the
Home Coming reception at Hardin
College, Friday evening, was delight
ed with the many improvements made
in the main building during the past
summer. The entire first floor and
the Railways in the upper floors are
all lighted with the semi-indirect sys-
TEN. The entire interior of the build
ing has been painted and papered and
generally improved.
The dining room equipment has
been greatly improved, the room be-
ing papered in blue and made most
attractive. Several hundred new vol
umes have been added to the library
as well as 100 extra volumes for the
special course in teaching.
The Home Economic Department
has been enlarged and twenty gas
ranges placed with individual sinks
equipment and other necessities used
in that work. This is one of the best
arranged departments of its kind in
Missouri.

Care For Farm Machinery
lRu M. A. r. KelleYl

1t is good practice to conserve ma
chinery and labor as well as to con-
serve the soil. The corn is now u
and the silo filled. Have you cleaned
I'M the corn binder and stored it
away? The knotter should receive
careful attention and be creased with
axle grease to prevent rusting. The
extra care will be amply repaid next
season. All broken or worn parts
should be noted and repairs ordered.
The o binder is al expensive ma
| chine with an annual depreciation OF
ten per cent in value. Hence the need
of conserving and ~prolonging its life.
The labor of handling grain and
corn has become almost entirely me-
chanical. The invention of the mod
ern small dump elevator has greatly
Ightened the labor of storing grain
and corn. 1t has a multitude OF va
riations for inside and outside install
~lations and is sold at such a price as
makes it a necessity. 1t is cheap and
economical and permits the use OF
higher corn cribs. The use Of such
cribs conserves labor and time in stor-
ing and they cost less for a given ca
pacity.

ker, was one of the first to bring

Genevieve Clark of Washington, d.
c., asking if she will be willing to
adopt the use of cotton stockings
herself and use her best endeavors Ia
make cotton the preferred fabric for
hosiery for all costumes and all occa-
sions, thereby creating a much larg-
err demand for cotton and assisting
to avert a commercial disaster which
now seems to confront the cotton
growing States of u country; at the
same time helping to lower the high
cost of living.
