WHAT is THE MATTER?
Editor Union Times,
Union, S. G.

Union, S. C.
Dear Mr.. Editor:
There is something radically wrong
with the system of drawing jurors in
Union county, and l wish to call the
attention of the people to the matter
through the press. 1t is fact that
some of the same jurors are drawn to
serve year after year, while some OF
our other citizens are never drawn for
service as jurors. AS | understand
the law, evey man who is qualified
eiector, is supposed to be qualified
Juror, unless he is exempt from ser
vice for some reason. 1t seems to
me very strange indeed, that some of
our citizens are constantly drawn to
serve, while others who are equally
as good citizens are never drawn.
The name of every citizen who is a
qualified elector and who is not eX-
empt from jury service, ought to be
put in the jury box. If this were done
jury duty would not be so heavy or
those that are continually drawn and
at some time or other, in the course OF
years, all of our citizens would dc
some jury duty. This is what the Law
expects and this is the way in which
it should be done. ! constantly heaI
people talking about the fact tha
some men are always drawn, whil
others are never drawn. This SHOULD
be remedied, and our citizens shoul
look into the matter.
Yours very truly,
w. F. Bobo.

Any one who knows exactly what
he desires of life and who goes with
reasonable directness straight toward
that goal of desire is sure to make a
success. ~
At first consideration, you may be
inclined to dispute this fact, but when
you consider it carefully you must
see the fairness and truth OF it.
Suppose you honestly desire to be a
power in the business world. Sup
pose you also desire to enjoy life in
the way of dancing and drinking and
dissipating your energies. You can
not do this and also keep the clear
brain in the sound body that you
must have to be a power in the world
of finance. Now which do you honest
" desire, "a good time" or business
success? Be honest with yourself
decide once for all and then go un-
swervingly down the path you have
chosen. And you will get what you
want.
If Abraham Lincoln had not pas
sionately desired an education and
the strength of mind and character
that made him world figure. his en-
dowment of mentality and character
would have been wasted. If Julius
Caesar had desired to enjoy the de-
eadent pleasure that filled the lives
of some Roman mobiles he would
never have been a great character of
history. If all the great explorers and
historians and scientists had preferred
