In the Court

Eli Backman was hailed into the
bastile Wednesday evening on a
charge of drunkenness. AS he was
not placed in a cell, he amused
himself early in the game by smash
ing the windows, chairs and table
in the corridors. Yesterday before
the municipal court he was SEN
fenced to a fine of $50 for drunk
eness and was bound over to the
district court for the malicious
destruction of property and his bail
placed at $50.

the great Chicago fire in 1871, the
governor has urged that the exer-
cises be held the day previous.
The observance will mark what
is hoped to be the beginning of an
effort to stimulate in the minds of
the thousands of school children of
the state an interest in proper
methods of fire prevention.
The Fire Marshal's Department
has received the sanction of c. c..
Schulz. State Superintendent of
Education to send to the superin-
tendents of all schools material for
essays, addresses and other exer-
cises to be conducted in all the
schools; whether the proposed
program as adopted is left entirely
to the discretion of the instructor.
Special efforts are being made by
the Fire Marshal's Department to
carry out the mandate of the
governor in having the school
children of the state impressed
with the responsibility of taking
precautions against the dangers
that lurk in matches, gasoline and
accumulations of rubbish, and it is
believed that the lessons thus learn
ed will stand them in good stead in
the future.
Naturally the teacher is to be
used as the means of conveying
these impressions and the governor
and this department can only hope
that the cooperation of all instruc-
tors will be extended to make the
observance of Fire Prevention day
this year the beginning of a new
era in the elimination of fire waste
in Minnesota.
The Fire Marshal urges that this,
the fourth annual observance of
the day in this state, be made the
occasion of special efforts on the
part of all municipal and state
officers as we'll as civic organiza-
tions, women's clubs and others
to conduct real campaign against
the fire menace.

STEEL EARNINGS
Present Quarter Shows Net Earnings
Of About $40,000,O0O

In view of the heavy operations
during the past three months at the
United States Steel corporation
mills, it is expected that the net
earnings for the present quarter
will be between 100000 and
$42 .OOO,O 900. This will be sufficient
to wipe out the deficit reported
during the recent depression, and
leave approximately $4,000. 900.
The higher prices for steel pro-
ducts allow a substantial margin
of profit on everything turned out.
The steel industry is now estab-
fishing new high records. John
Lambert of Chicago, president of
the American Steel & Wire COM
pany, says that the steel mills are
now running at pretty close to 100
per cent capacity. The mills are
buying all the iron billets and
other semi-fn1shed steel products
produced and are absorbing all the
surplus stocks. The capacity of
raw steel and pig iron is not suf-
fcient to meet the requirements.
Scarcity of labor, plant extern
sions of rush character and still
higher prices are the features at
tracing the attention of iron and
steel manufacturers at present.
Railroad arrangements are said
to be thoroughly alarmed over the
extraordinary activity showing in
the steel trade, as they fear diff
Guilty will be experienced in obtain
ing the filling of orders for rails.
On that account they are preparing
to place contracts for 1916 delivery
much earlier than usual.
Commenting upon present condi-
tons in the steel trade, a Pitts
burgh correspondent says:
Every available bast furnace in
the country is either in operation
or is being got in readiness.
Furnaces that were scheduled to
be scraped years ago are again in
blast. The Lackawanna Steel
company has purchased an entire
hot metal output of one of the
Susquehanna furnaces, removing
over 40, 900 tons from the market.
Italian buyers are active bidders
for the available supply of Besse.
mer, paying SIG ton for all they
can obtain. The United Steel
company of Canton has purchased
1000 tons of basic iron at $3.50
for delivery during November and
December. Buffalo furnaces have
sold 10, 900 tons in addition to the
purchase by the Lackawanna com
pany. Basic, Foundry No. 2 and
malleable are selling as high as SIS
valleys. Tremendous pressure is
being brought on furnace owners
to quote for deliveries for 1916
Sellers are holding back, and
SIS. so is the least that can be done
Southern iron is held at $11.5O fol
delivery during the remainder Of
the year, and $3.50 for 1916 de-
livery. Ferro manganese sales
have been made as high as $125 g
ton at furnace. All grades Of
alloys for steel making have been

MORE AGAINST THE
BOND ISSUE
MIR. G.. Il. Gault of Kelton Again
Argues Against Voting Bonds
for Good Roads

We are having some fine March
weather just now and the farmers
are making good use of it.
Mr.. Editor, you have thrown open
your columns for free discussion of
the 100000 good roads bond issue
to be voted on the 9th of April. You
have shown noble spirit in so doing
which Is just and fair, for it is a pub
lie question.
In last weeks Times | gave a part
OF my views on the subject and
thought / was done, but reading last
weeks Progress, | saw so much that
was said that was misleading and
deceiving about the $15O,OOO r. X.
bonds voted on by the qualified cleo
tors of Union 40 years ago, | coulo
not hold my peace, so please give me
space in the old Union Times to ask
Progress few questions, and COM
ment on the same. Progress saws
they got official figures showing that
the Southern Railway was paving
taxes to the amount of $11.O3O per
year and the amount of interest the
county paid on those bonds was onlv
$6,2IO, hsowing that the county was
actually making $4,000 year he has
lt-but my figures have it saving
$4,76O; $500 more than his, now |
do not give the official figures a sin
gle doubt, but | want to ask Progress
or the author of this statement a few
questions. Was not this r. r.
through Union county built years be
fore those bonds were voted on?
Was one foot of this road built in
Union county or one cent of the
money spent in Union county? No.
but 1T was to build road in Spar
tanburg county and in North Caro-
lima, of which we do not receive a
cent of revenue. Now could there
ever be anything more misleading
and deceiving than this statement? !?
L Will say that | voted for this bond
and L and all others who voted for
1t should have paid for them. It
would have been hard on me and an
others that did, but experience
teaches dear school. Those who
advocated the bonds would have us
believe that we would have meat.
Hour, corn almost given to us if the
bond issue carried, but did it come
true? No, but Union has had the
pleasure of paying $36O,OOO of hard
earned money, counting the interest
on the bonds and for retiring them at

is what we got and some would have
the mill people believe if we get

Ugh! CalOmel Makes
You DeathIy Sick
Stop using dangerous drug before it
salivates you. It's horrible,

You're bilious, sluggish, constipated
and believe you need vile, dangerous
calomel to start your liver and clean
your bowels.
Here's my guarantee! Ask your
druggist for a 30 cent bottle of Dod
sons Liver Tone and take spoonful
tonight. If it doesn't start your
liver and straighten you right up
better than calomel and without grip
ing or making you sick want you to
go back and get your money.
Take calomel today and tomorrow
you will feel weak and sick and nau-
seated. Don't lose days work.
Take a spoonful of harmless, vege.

and wake up feeling great. It's
perfectly harmless, so give it to your
children any time. 1t can't salivate,
SO let them eat anything afterwards.

SAWYER REGARDED
AS SURE WINNER
BREAK FROM THE BISHOP SUP
PORT WENT SOLID TO CAMP OF
GARLAND COUNTY MAN.
Desperate Effort Made by the Griffin
Followers to Get Majority Into Line
Fell With a Dull Thud.

The candidacy of L. f. Sawyer of
Garland for the speakership of the
house of representatives. which con
venes Monday at noon, was late last
night regarded as much stronger than
the candidacy of any of the two other
candidates, and it appeared as though
the plum would fall to the Garland
county man.
Yesterday the followers. of Ben Crit
fin made desperate effort to show
a majority of strength for him, and
thereby get the following of many OF
those who hold their favortisms in
reserve and go to the band wagon
candidate in the end.
The movement in behalf of Griffin
failed The report had been circu-
lated that he had 40 votes in reserve
of the 100 members of the house
The Garland county committee made
a close canvas of the situation and
soon proved that Griffin did not have
more than % votes at best.
Josephs OF TeXarkana is believed
by the Garland county delegation to
have probably as many as 20 solid
votes but they do not see how he can
win, as his strength has not grown
any in the last hours of the campaign.
Mr.. Sawyer has more pledged votes
than any of the candidates in the
race, and yesterday added nine votes
to his roster of support. That means
that if the situation is held as it stood
last night. the speakership VIII be
conferred on the Hot Springs man
when the first or at least the second
ballot is taken Monday.
