KELTON

Kelton, S. c., Jan. IL, 1915.-The
weather is very threatening today
and l expect rain.
Everybody seems to be getting
right down to business with deter
mination to do better in 1915. The
merchants are the worst hurt of any
other class of men. Farmers, many
of them fell behind last year but the
! merchants that are able, will help all
who have toed the mark and have
paid all they could afford on their
accounts, but they need not look for
only enough to squeeze through. If
| both white and black had been more
careful last year, they would be bet
ter off now. l hear the talk of hard
times on every hand but very few of
us know what real hard times is.
Some of us came through the war be-
tween the States with nothing but q
| determination to do something and
we did not fail. l say, brother far
mers go ahead with bull dog de-
termination to make all you can, to
save all you can and you will not only
pay this years contract but all or
most of last years. But do not de-
/ pend on cotton alone, raise something
to eat that you can and plenty of it..
1t will not be hard stock for the world
will be looking to America for food
supplies if the great European war
was to close in thirty days. The
price of everything we eat is high
and the prices still advancing almost
every day. We live in as good, if
not the best country the sun ever
shone on, so let us quit murmuring
and complaining of hard times and
get down to hard FORK and we will
pull through. Let me refer you to
one Pea Ridger who came out of the
civil war with only one arm but with
an iron determination to do something
and he has done it. He went to work
with will just like he did when he
faced the Yankee gunboats at Hilton
Head Island on the coast of S. c.,
where he left one of his arms. He
has succeeded-he bought lands and
reared large family of children and
educated them and has good home,
and all he lacks now is one of those
good looking widows to keep him
company the rest of his days. His
name IS Daniel Inman, brother COM
rade. If a man with one arm sue
ceeds-one with two should not COM
plain. Please pardon me, brother
Comrade for using your name.
I am a poor judge of a great
speech, but I think the one delivered
by Woodrow Wilson on Jackson Day
eclipsed anything / ever read. 1t, was
full of patriotism and craftsmanship
and he pointed out our duty, not only
to America but the whole world, es-
pecially weak nations. I thank God
for such man in the White House.

CONTROVERSY
AS TO VALUE
Continued from page ~

known fact that money loaned on
real estate is not often beyond SO per
cent of the valuation put upon such
real estate.
The appraisers in the Probate
Judges records show valuation by
the appraisers of the personal prop
erty of the estate amounting to
SHEETS. TO this sum is TO ne add
ed about 5000 more in notes and
mortgages held by the administrator
and showing in the files Of the office
of Probate Judge for Union county.
In other words, to the $4,000 of real
Ttate must be added the sum of ST.
.4oa 4 4. 4 rsonal property: making an es-
tate, valued at $4,000, at least. The
auditor says all lands in Jonesvi,le
township outside of the immediate
vicinity of Jonesville are assessed at
about $500 per acre. The Coleman
lands is assessed at little more than
$1,000.
But the real value and the assess
ment valuation is often far apart.
What is true in this particular case
is true generally over the county. No
lands are returned at face value nor
anywhere near it.

LOCKHART JUNCTION

Lockhart Junction, Jan. Is, 1915.-
Only a few days of sunshine then rain
again. The roads are almost impasS-
able in some places, but as an old
saying goes rain, hail, sleet and
snow, we poor travellers are bound to
go". So we are out in the mud oc-
casionally.

he lived for while in Jonesville and

suffering from rheumatism. He and
his wife are very interesting and can

Mrs. Poole says she is living where
she was born, married and hoped to
die-her old home. This good people
are nearly the same age, only few
months difference. One is 81 and the
other 80 vars of age. Mr.. Poole says
he takes The Union Times and loves

first of the 133rd Psalm seems to
have no place among them | think
they all need to get in harmony with
the sentiments of that old back
sliders hymn that begins with these
words, "Oh for Closer Walk with
God" had no part in the controv-
ersy, but as a fifty-two Methodist, |
think have right to criticize such
rough and unchristian proceedings
among my brethren The church is
of God and should be conducted Justly
and friendly and let the world see
how they love each other.
1t seems that the government is
about to get ready to loan the poor
farmers some money to help through
the awful tight times, but the fellow
that wants to borrow, say one hun
dred dollars had better put in his bid
for about one hundred and fifty dol
lars for it will take about fifty per
cent. to pay the expense of getting it.
There are a number of clerks and
other employees of both sexes laid
off in our town and they are to be
pitied, for there is nothing doing in
any other place. One of these fell
lows advanced a fine idea the other
day, he said to me, 81 can plow and
there is always place for the fellow
that can plow."

COTTON CUMMINGS
SET NEW RECORD
Largest Ever Up to January First
Activity During Last 2 Weeks
I of December Brings Up
Aggregate.

Washington, Jan. 9-Cotton gin
ming the last two weeks of Decem-
ber surpassed the same period of
every other year except the record
production year 1911, and brought the
total cotton ginned from the 1914
crop up to 14,447,623 bales, a guam
tity greater than ever ginned in any
other year to January l, and 100000
bales more than in 1911. Cotton
ginned during the last three years
after January 1, has varied from l.
236,O71 bales in 1911 to 5000 bales
in 1913.
Ginnings for the two weeks period
amounted to 470,914 bales, or $4,000
bales less than the record for the pc
riod made in 1911. The periods out
turn brought the total cotton in Ala
bama and Oklahoma to greater
quantity than ever produced in those
States.
Including the ginnings were A.
816 round bales, compared with 94,-
265 last year, 1899 in 1912 and o.
227 in 1911.
Sea island cotton included number
ed 1886 bales, compared with IA
$50 bales last year, 67,257 bales in

TOWNSVILLE

Jonesville, S. c., Jan. II, 1915-It
is no use for me to tell my readers
that the weather is bad-that the
roads are muddy and almost impasS-
able for this is the case even from
dan to Beersheba."
Our Legislature will meet today and
1t seems they have much business
blocked for the session Clemson Col
lege is clamoring for a big appropria-
ton and so is Winthrop. Clemson
wants $4,000 for a gymnasium and
Winthrop $4,000 for another gym
naSium. Great Scott. When will
these colleges get satisfied? Never
it seems. In my school days we had
plenty of gymnasium exercises whicn
cost the government nothing nor even
our parents one cent. We had grape
vines for our slack rope performance
and then we had the bull pen and cat
plays and skinning the cat and leap
frog, which gave plenty of exercise
and we all developed and made GOOD
hardy fellows and the girls performed
some of the same plays and thev
made good strong healthy young
women and they were pretty too
and able to spank their husbands af-
ter marriage if they did not walk the
straight line. This is not time for
special or extra appropriations. Our
solons ought to make short work of
their SeSSion-make no additional ap-
preparations, adjourn in few DAYS
and go home and let the people have
rest from so much burdensome tax,
especially until the European war is
over and we get on our feet again.
There has for quite awhile been a
sharp controversary between the edi-
tor of the Methodist church pauer
and some of the Methodist preachers
who were after the editor for certain
charges brought against him and
after the proceedings of the annual
conference a year ago last Novem-
ber, condemning the editor, Rev. S. A.
Nettles, were set aside and revoked
by the general conference which met
last year in Oklahoma. Some Of the
editor pursuers continued to pursue
him and had him laid off from the
ministry at the last annual confer
ence. Since which time there has
been some bitter things published in
the church papers, all of which to
say the least, is shameful and should
never have appeared in print. The

Georgia Militia Has Laugh On
South Carolina.

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 12.-Members of
the Georgia military are laughing
over the quandary of their fellow SOL
diers in South Carolina, who haven't
any jobs any more. Governor Cole
Blease yesterday wiped out the state
militia with one stroke of his pen, dis
banding the whole outfit, from gen
erals to privates.
This act of Governor Blease, fol-
lowed closely on his emptying the
prisons, will, it is hoped, be his last
drastic step before he retires from
the gubernatoral chair next Tuesday.
The disband;ng of the state militia
was brought on by his recent dispute
with the United States army depart
ment over rules governing state
troops. His successor in office is ex-
pected to restore the militia to its old
footing.

show that South Carolina has pros
pered under his administration. Af-
ter quoting these statistics, the COVER
nor says:
Does this look like Blease ruined
the State? Some people may yet
want more of this kind of ruin"
The governor quotes statistics to
prove that crime has decreased in
the State during his administration.
1t is claimed that the strictest econ
omy has been practiced during his
term of four years and that much
money has been saved to the tax
payers. The governor urges that the
legislature be liberal with the COM
mon schools.
In conclusion the governor says:
'I have attained the highest am
bition of my life. My life's work, so
far as my personal interest is con-
cerned, has been completed. If my
people want my service in the future
I will give it, but shall ask them for
nothing more"

Triangle Prices Readjusted

There has been some Misunderstanding
regarding prices at the Chestnut Street
Opera House for Triangle Film plays II
seems that the general impression among
local theatregoers is that at night prices
on the entire lower floor were 81 per
seat This has not been the case, as
there were only a very few seats at 81,
while the majority OF the lower floor
seats were 81. Beginning Monday after
noon a change will be made in the price
scale which will make a certain number
Of seats on the lower floor 50 cents at
night, and the entire balcony hereafter
will sell for SO cents per seat At matt
nees the entire lower floor will be so
cents a seat and the balcony will be 25
cents seat. 1t is only just that the
public should be set right in this mat
ter, because there is always more de-
mand for the popular price seats for any
entertainment than for the higher prices.
