We trust that Secretary Kennedy
will meet with cooperation in his eff
forts to stimulate the business inter
ests of Union in the establishment of
small enterprises. Union now has
quite number, among them being a
flower mill, laundry, ice plant and
corn mills, and there should be others.
One thing about it, we have power,
and power at low price. If the
Chamber of Commerce will make thor
ough investigation and create a de-
mand for the coming of such small en-
terprises as will, with wise manage
ment, prove remunerative, and the
capital can be assembled here, it will
be great move forward for Union.

OAKLAND

Oakland, Dec. 29.-The Sunday
school Christmas tree, which was held
at Oakland school house last Saturday
afternoon at o'clock, was grand
success. Despite the stormy weather
the house was filled beyond its seating
capacity with both old and young peo-
pie and the whole afternoon was spent
in most joyful way. The tree was
beautifully decorated and, too, it was
burdened with hundreds of very beau
tiful and valuable presents. Just be-
fore and after the tree some excellent
cornet and piano music was afforded
the congregation by Mr.. Carl and
Miss Louise Littlepohn of Spartan
burg, which made the affair all the
more pleasant.

HAPPY NEW YEAR,

The Times editor wishes to extend
hearty good wishes to all the readers
of the paper. May the year 1916
bring to each of you abounding pros
perity and great happiness. For all
good wishes extended us, we are sin
cerely grateful; for every kindly criti-
cism, we are thankful; for all unjust
and insincere fault finding we care
not rap! By the grace of God by
the help of true friends and by our
own strong determination we purpos-
ing the making of paper worthy the
confidence and support of good men
and true. We hope to produce the
best paper we have ever made. We
believe in growth, advancement and
neatness, and we purpose doing our
best.
The Union times. [volume] (Union, S.C.) 1894-1918, 1915-12-31

With good will to all, with malice
towards none, we begin the new year.
With faith in God and courage in the
right, we enter the year 1916. No
human mind foresees what year may
bring forth. How many reverses,
triumphs or drawn battles the year
will bring, we know not. Thankful
are we tha tthe future is yelled. To
live one day at time, meet each re-
quirement as it faces us, is all re-
quired of us. Let us then bravely
face the days of a coming year. Let
US go forth valiantly; let us battle
as becometh men.

THE QUESTION OF GOOD CITI-
ZENSHIP

The dispensary for Union county
and for the State at large has, by an
overwhelming majority of the citi-
zens, been voted out. Many predict
the multiplication of blind tigers and
general state of lawlessness. We
do not believe the prediction will
come true. We believe the lawless
spirit is on the wane in this State.
Our people, at heart honest and
worthy, desire purity in citizenship
and there is more than ever a deter
mination to have the law prevail. We
believe that many who voted for the
retention of the dispensary, and voted
honestly, will give their earnest sup
port to the enforcement of the law
against blind tigers. De feel sure,
also, that there are fewer men than
ever before, who are willing to de-
grade themselves by engaging in the
Illicit sale of whiskey. There never
has been any great percentage of our
people willing to sell liquor, legalized
or illicit. The few, in this case, as
often happens, has overrun the will
of the many. After all, it is ques-
tion of good citizenship, and we sim
cerely believe that the majority, the
very large majority of our people are
for good citizenship.
