TOWNSVILLE

Jonesville, Sept. 27.-The question
has been oftetn asked, "What's the
matter with Hannah?" I want to
ask, whats the matter with cot
ton?" 1t just keeps soaring. Well,
just let it go on up. The farmers
can stand it and would not complain
if it goes to Is cents. Last years
crop at 7 cents and this crop at say
IA cents would only be an average
of 10 1-2 cents, which would be a
commen level for the two crops
which would put the country in a
good normal condition. | like the
motto, olive and let live"
The Salvation Army people pitched
tent in Jonesville some days ago
and they are here yet. By invitation
Rev. l.. NJ. Rice preached for them
Sunday morning, giving his hour to
them. That was very commendable
in Brother Rice. The Salvation Army
people are good folks and are there
fore doing much good. Our Savior
said, while on earth, "He that is not
against US is for us; let them alone" "
One mistake or error occurred in
my communication to The Times last
week that | wish to correct. In men
tioning the marriage of Mr.. B. F.
Webber's son and Mr.. Coleman Fowl
er's daughter, it should have read
Miss Marie instead of Miss Myrtle
Fowler.
l find Columbia pretty lively and
full of goods ready for the fall trade
Like all the other towns, | fear there
are more goods than there is money
with which to buy them.
Mr.. Eugene Whitlock is in Columbia
attending the University of South
Carolina.
Mr.. Roy Whitlock, of Landrum, Wis.
tied his mother here the other day.
Mr.. j. B. Foster has gone to Au.
gusta, Ga, and Johnstone, S. c., tc
visit his daughters living at those
places.
Mr.. Coleman Fowler is one of our
big watermelon raisers. He sold
something like hundred dollars
worth of MELONS this season. Many
of them will tip the beam at forty
pounds.
Mr.. Lee Leadford and Miss Lula
Gentry were married Sunday by j. w.
Bates, notary public, at his home.

THROW AWAY HAMMER
AND BUY A HORN

What is the matter with Union?
Answer: physician heal thyself."
Almost a~y one you meet can tell you
what this town needs and whom be-
81" themselves ought to bear the
E"vden of the reformation.
We have heard the saying, "Men,
not natural resources are what build
a town." so much that we fail to
fully appreciate its truth. Do not
forget that the Golden Rule is ap-
plcable in community affairs just as
much as it is in spiritual growth.
Your town will advance in proper
ton to the unselfish effort you put
forth, not in the ratio to what you
think some one else should help.
Most men hate hypocrites and are
ready to fay alive those in whom
they find hypocrisy, never themselves
seeing the glaring inconsistencies in
their own conduct. Knocking the eff
forts of others is a very poor sub
stitute for the effort you should put
forth, and sorry excuse for your
failure to do your duty by lending
your aiG.
What makes an athlete? Exercise.
What makes a star base ball player? :?
Practice. What will improve Union?
Practising what you preach. What
will help business here? Giving your
business to Union firm instead of
sending it elsewhere. If you want
better doctors, better lawyers, better
banks and better merchants, then give
jhem your business. Trade makes a
merchants Practice will greatly i'm
,!apscSo a lawyer and5doctor. You often
complain of our newspapers and crit
icise them for not giving more pub
licity to what takes place in Union.
How much advertising and job work
do you give them to do? If you want
stronger press then give the one
press you are looking for will come,
Every dollars worth of business
that you do with people of Union
county is help to you. When prop
erty values increase taxes will be-
come less to maintain the institutions
you now have. If you force mer,
chants and other business and pro
fessional men out of business here by
trading out of Union you will eithe,
have to dispense with your present
system of public schools or increase
your tax levy. When you do away
with your public schools or let then
materially deteriorate people viii
leave Union and go where there Gre
good schools.
Don't discredit your town, it is just
as good as you make it. Help instead
of knock and you will come nearer
having what you want, and at tho
same time make better impression
on the stranger who passes by.

NOT PLANNING TO LEAVE.

Owing to the fact that it has been
reported that Rev. D. w. Garvin was
planning to resign his field in this
county to accept one in Georgia, he
requests The Times to announce that
there is no foundation of fact in the
rumor. He has not resigned nor has
he any intention of resigning his work
in this county,

City Beautifying
Coal Run Hollow

Coal Run Hollow is being cleaned
up by h city officials "a number of
men being engaged in hauling away
quantities Of debris which has been
o into the hollow by persons liv-
ing on the banks surrounding the hol-
low. The work was done at the re-
quest of the Civic Department OF the
Woman's Club, and 1t is the purpose
of the commissioners, with the CO.
operation Of the club. to see t o it that
the hollow is kept cean and slightly.
Any person throwing cans, garbage,
ETC., over into the hollow will be fined
for so doing, as it is the intention to
keep this place. which would other.
wise be a place of beauty, in slightly as
well as sanitary condition. 1t Is hoped
that the people will cooperate in this
matter,

CAN'T Sell CIDER
THREE MONTS OLD
At This Stage 1t Contains
Two Per Cent Alcohol,
Blue Says.

CHARLESTON, April 15.-when is
cider SO hard that it is too hard to
sell in a strict prohibition State, and
how hard mus it be to be apple
jack?"
Hard cider" would not be hard to
sell in West Virginia, but the ruling
which State Tax Commissioner Fred
o. Blue has passed around to the
prosecuting attorneys in the several
counties indicates that it is going to
be pretty hard to make cider that will
sell without running counter. to the
Yost prohibition law.
h Yost law permits an owner of
apple e or grape vines or other
fruits to make and use the cider.
wine, etc, and to sell the same, but
this privilege depends upon the alco-
hol percentage and consequently the
age OF the fermented juice. Commits
stoner Blue seems to have conducted
some chemical experiments, for in
his instructions he cites the fact that
cider begins to tur hard" about
three weeks after it is made. and that
each week thereafter it accumulates
more alcohol, till. when about three
months old, the cider is true apple
Jack and contains about two per cent
Of alcohol.
At this stage Commissioner Blue
claims that it is barred by the law of
the State, and that it is no longer a
soft drink" In Lewis county, Prose
cutor H. NJ. Bennett has warned store
keepers and others against selling
cider of this kind, even when made
from home grown fruit" Commits
sioner Blue calls attention to the
fact that the chemical change which
takes place in cider also takes place
in all fruit juice ferments. SO hat
there T none that can be made that
will comply with the strict provisions
of the Yost law.

Industrial canuaItIea-

From a chart which was exhibited
by a leading insurance company Of
America at an international exposi-
ton of safety and sanitation, 1t would
follow that there are $4,000 fatal in.
dustrial accidents a year in the United
States. and about 10000 injuries.
This inspires q writer on the new
fndustrialism to say: THE mere pos
sibiiity of being able to state in sta
tistics the approximate number of our
industrial casualties is a step in ad-
vance. for as late as 1909 it was i'm
possible to estimate with any accu-
racy at all what was the toll we paid
in crushed limbs and snuffed out lives.
Now. at least. we know how vast is
the problem to be solved. how much
needless suffering we infict and how
much we lose in dollars, and cents
because we have hitherto failed to
realize the necessity Of guarding men
as veil as machines"

PerIqord TURTLES.

Gourmets throughout Europe will
be %perturbed at the news that, owing
to the unusually severe weather this
year, there is likely to be a famine in
Perigord trutt1es. This district pro-
duces truffles which can be equaled
nowhere else. except in a Sd II area
of California, and as they grow to
perfection only in winter, the famine
must inevitably last a long time.
Many attempts have been made to
transplant Pertgord truf1es, but with
out success Twenty years ago q
French savant claimed the secret of
growing them Wholesale and prophe-
sled that they would be on sale at a
penny a pound instead of les. Moth
ing came of his experiments, although
they were financed by the Academic
des Sciences. Probably II he had
made trufies so cheap epicures would
no longer yearn for them.

AZ to the Man "selrMade.r

A pathologist OF standing inveighs
against the "self-made man in terms
that will be surprising to many. The
self-made man. he says, "is often in
the process Of degeneration, and the
first evidence Of degeneracy in a fam
fly is the ~selfishness and meanness
or the cunning, avarice and meanest
guile, by which the selt-made man
succeeds In amassing a fortune for his
still more degenerate children to
spend in gratifying their selfish de-
sires." There is another side to tho
matter. and Thoreau say It when he
said that the man who had acquired
wealth would insist on having his
sops educated, and thus he would be-
come the real founder Of a family

What II Costa TO IA Artistic.


It isn't wealthy men who are idle,
but wealth itself, which is permanent
ly loafng. Every year hundreds OF
millions OF cash go into retirement for
all time. One battleship lays on the
shelf SIS, 900, 900 of good o and
it stays there. Germany's extra army
measures for a year put $250.000
out OF business for good. New York
city's debt is increasing at the rate OF
$65, 100000 a yea Nearly all that
money Is expended upon non-produs-
tive work. Monuments, boulevards
and works Of art, such as 100000 in
pictures. each year cost the world
about as much as tie world digs gold
out OF the earth. These are idlers
who eve ear any direct interest on
the investment Americas wheat
crop for n year isn't half big enough
to compensate for the wealth that will
be poured into nonproductive works.
