COOL HEADS.

Every individual and every nation,
at some time in their career, come Z,
culating judgment. Our president and
the United States congress are now
face TO face with such situation. 1t
is no time for foolish and insincere
talk. IF our nation is to stand upon its
honor, and the stand brings about a
complete break with Germany, there
is no telling where the matter will
end. But it is a fact that there are
some conditions, some situations that
must be met bravely, no matter what
the consequences may be.
The Union times. [volume] (Union, S.C.) 1894-1918, 1916-03-03

The Times has come to feel severely
what is meant by the high cost of liv-
ing Recently paper of every descrip-
tion has climbed upward by leaps and
bounds. within the past two or three
weeks the advance has been startling,
and from every source the report is
that the end has not yet been reached.
We can do no SIS than meet the eX-
traordinary conditions with determi-
nation. That is the character we pos
sess--to go forward fearlessly.
In the meantime, we urge every sub
scriber who is in arrears to come to
our relief with renewal to his sub
scription. That will help us, and not
hurt the subscriber. Every one now
in arrears could pay years subscrip-
tion and not feel it. 1t would help
us to meet the present heavy advance
in the. cost of all raw material.
Kind reader, will you not sit down
and write us letter enclosing a
years renewal? Do this at once and
thus render us important and much
desired aid. We feel sure that many
will do us this kindness.

GRAND JURY'S PRESENTMENT.

To His Honor, H. F. Rice, Circuit
Judge, Presiding:
We, the grand jury beg to report
that we have passed upon all bills
handed to us, and have made our re-
turns on the same.
Our committee has inspected the va
rious county offices, and found that
each and every officer was keeping
neat record, and we believed they are
performing their duties in an efficient
manner.
We recommend that the Sinking
Fund Commission call in all loans as
rapidly as practicable, in order to be
in position to retire as many of the
county bonds on July 1st, next, as
possible.
We find that the Court House, in
side and outside, and the Court
House grounds, are in very bad shape
indeed, and sadly in need of more care
full care and attention. We urgently
recommend that the ashes and other
refuse in the rear of the Court House
be removed, and kept away; that the
closets, corridors and Offices be bet
ter cleaned and busted, and that the
grounds be put in cleaner and better
condition. We find, further, that there
are numerous glasses out in various
narts of the building, and putty out
in other places, all of which we recon-
mcnd to be looked after and attended
to at once. We urge, too, that the
awnings over the windows in the of
flee of the Clerk of Court be renewed,
and that awnings be placed over the
windows on the Northern side of the
Court room.
The jury visited the Jail in a body,
and found it in as good condition as
could be expected considering the size
and architecture of the building. We
think, however, that the inside should
be whitewashed at least three times
year, and that the bedding be wash
ed more often.
Our committee on inspection of the
county chain gang report that it was
found to be in good condition, with one
exception, namely: the negro tent
does not seem to be very sanitary, and
the bedding used therein is in bad
shape.
The Poor House was visited by the
whole jury, and we found that the in
mates were well looked after and we'll
satisfied with the new superintend-
ent, Mr.. ID. F. Baldwin. We recon-
mend that only sufficient ground be
cleared each year to furnish fuel for
the buildings that year. We think
that on the poor house lands, sufft
cient ground be cleared each year to
furnish fuel for the buildings that
year. We think that on the poor house
lands, sufficient food supplies for the
inmates for the stock animals belong
ing to the place, and, if possible, for
the consumption of the chain gang be
raised.
We again recommend that bench be
placed about and near the grand Jury
room for the convenience of the wit
hesses and other people who have to
attend on the grand jury.
We have been reliably informed,
that various places and buildings, and
automobiles throughout the county,
are being used for immoral purposes,
and we wish to put the offenders in
this respect on guard.
We thank the Solicitor for his aid
to this body. We thank your Honor
for the courtesies shown us, and re-
spectfully ask to be discharged from
attending on the grand jury.

The general public is standing by
President Wilson in his foreign policy
in the German submarine negotia-
tions. Yet, Germany makes fair
show of having some justice to her
claims But, if we understand it,
President Wilson is basing his stand
upon his construction of international
law, and the past has demonstrated
that Mr.. Wilson is clear sighted,
calm and logical reasoner. 1t is ad-

share of its energies toward bringing
together comparatively, community
with community, and county with
county, in the building of good roads,
and we have obtained results which
encourage us to larger undertakings.
I'VE ask the support of the people
of Georgia, not only in carrying out
this work, but also to join with us in
other activities for the upbuilding of
our state. Among these is to encourage
the establishment in village, town and
city of markets for food crops, of flour
mills, canning and other factories,
packing houses and cold0 storage
plants. In general, facilities for the
sale and conservation of varied prod
ucts, and the growth of Ethe fliNastock
industry These give employment to
home people and keep within each
communitg JefgeGsums of money now
needlessly sent away. They set money
flowing through the channels, of trade
during the sbring and summer, render
farm mortgages practically unneces-
sary, and enable the cotton grower
to sell his products as a freebooter
instead of under the stress of debt"
The compiers of the book, Messrs.
Armstrong & Cans, have made the
following statement:
"In issuing this book the Georgia
state chamber of commerce has enter
ed an entirely new field of endeavor
yet none the less of vital Importance
TO our commonwealth.
an keeping with the economic prin-
ciples back of the nationwide move
ment of good road construction, the
purposes of this publication are two
fold-the advertising of our state to
the touring public outside our borders,
and the stimulation of good road build
ing and upkeep within state limits.
CAS- publishers, we were forced to
personally take charge not only of
compiling and arranging the data, but
to go out into the state and get this
data. Personally, we have visited ov-
err $50 towns and cities, written more
than five thousand letters to board of
trades and individuals, in addition to
more than 1000 personal interviews.
We have travelled the state from north
to south, from east to west and all
points of the compass between. Elk

INFORMATION CON-
cERNING GOOD ROADS IN GEoR-
oIA is CONTAINED IN THE PUB
LEGATION.

The Motor-Way route book of the
Georgia chamber of commerce is just
from the press and is one of the most
complete comprehensive good roads
route books ever issued. In regard to
the publication Secretary Manager Ed
ward Young Clarke of the state cham
Der says:
THE Motor-Way year book, which
is just off the press, is really a re-
markable publication. We are deeply
indebted to the cOmpilers of the book,
Messrs. Armstrong & Cans, for the
publication. which is the most unique,
comprehensive and accurate of any
book of its kindHer issued. The
book has taken about seven months
to compile and contains over 1000
miles Of roads in the state, which
roads pass through over 500 Georgia
towns and cities.
In addition to the good road infOr-
nation there is also given information
in regard to each of the 500 towns and
cities through which the routes pass"
Chas. J. Haden's Statement.
President Chas. j. Haden of the
Georgia chamber of commerce, in his
foreword in the route book, says
This book is intended not only to
serve as a guide to travellers, but also
the even more important purpose of
inspiring the construction of high
ways. The road is the tie which binds
town with country. and upon the sue
cess of this partnership, in great
measure, depends public prosperity.

THE LINE TELEPHONE.

A man was telling MS that down
in the country he stopped at a
house that had a line telephone,
and while he sat there il rang
and forthwith there was rush
for it, Notwithstanding the num-
her of rings indicated another
house. Bnt that made no differ
ence, for they were just as much
interested in what their neighbors
were saying to eacll other, or
what the dealer had to say to any
one of them. They never for d
moment questioned their right 10
listen or the propriety Of it. That
was one thing they had the tele.
phone forto listen to what their
neighbors were talking about
And it was not such a bad thing
as it seemed, for it tended to rule
out all mean and unkind talk and
establish propriety and conrtes,
as the rule of the telephone. A,
any rate, it saves everyone on thu
line from the sad effect Of scandal
GUS talk. There is nothing that SC
contributes to the morality and
kindly bearing of a neighborhood
as line t.lephone.--Ohio State

More than 400 communities rep
resenting every state IN the union
are already laying their plans
for Baby Week, according to the
Children's : Bureau Of the United
States Department Of Labor, hi
order that during those seven
days the needs of the babies may
be so presented that all the par.
ents i'm those communities will
learn d little better how to care for
their babies. and all the citizens
will realize that they have d spe
,cial obligation to safeguard the
conditions surrounding babies.
And it is confidently believed by
those who are interested iii this
nationwide Baby Week that the.
remainder Of the year will be
marked by q strengthening Of all.
community activities for saving
babies lives and giving them d
better chance to grow to healthy
maturity.
The Baby Week idea originated
in Chicago not quite two years
ago. Then New York had 4 Baby
Week, and Pittsburg, and other
cities. Such practical benefit has
in each case resulted that the
General Federation oil Woman d
clubs has undertaken to promote
this nationwide observance.
State health officials and ma.
tional organizations interested Iii
public health and child welfare
have taken up the plan and in
various ways are giving II not
only their sanction but their nc
tive cooperation. The extention
divisions of the state universities
have promised special assistance
in interesting and helping Baby
Weeks in rural communities.
The Federal Children g Bureau
believes that Baby Week viii
give more parents chance to
learn the accepted principles Of
infant care, and will awaken
every American to his responsible.
Iity for the deaths of 100000
babies who, according to the cen.
sus estimates, die every year be,

Therefore the Children y Bureau
has prepared a special bnllentin
of practical suggestions for Baby
Week campaigns. adapted to thu
varying needs Of the communities
of different types. Copies Of this

JURY FINDS WILLIAM

In Justice court last Monday
William Hallonn was found not
guilty of conducting a public
drinking place or having liquor in
his possession, or whatever the
charge may have been. In the
raid two weeks ago Sheriff Sell
stedt seized two casks of beer,
and although they were in the
room at the time of the trial. they
were not produced as evidence.
The evidence was sufficient to con-
Wet anyone of having too much
liquor in his possession and yet
Hallonn was permitted to 60 scot

tablish his credit beforehand.
He knew that if he borrowed and
paid promptly, he would soon
have good credit, and six per
cent for credit is cheap. And so
he opened a bank account got in
favor with his banker, borrowed
but paid punctually. until he was
well regarded as a credit risk.
The time came when he needed
money to finance his undertak-
ings, and he found no trouble in
getting what he wanted, because
he had established himself as a
safe borrower.

YOU AND YOUR CREDIT

Every man should be jealous of
two things: His good name and
his credit. A good name helps
his credit and good credit helps a
good name. He should value his
reputation as his choicest possess
sion, and he should guard his
credit equally as well, if not
better than he guards his money.
He can protect his good name by
keeping good company, avoiding
questionable places and bad
habits in general. His name is
what he chooses to make it. He
can build up and protect his
credit by one course-borrowing
and paying as he agrees buying
on time and paying on time.
The greatest force in the BUSH
ness world is credit THE power
to borrow; to get trusted; to
obtain the property of another to
use as our own on a mere promise
to pay. Credit" says Webster,
has done more a thousand times
to enrich the nations than all the
mines in the world" Credit
spans rivers, opens mines, builds
railroads, moves commerce and
wages war. Our whole business
structure rests upon it. For every

BEAR HOLDS UP AuTolsT
eiack 9ruin Refuses TO Make Way. IN
Spite of Frequent Frightened
"i4onks.'

The story OF q holdnp OF lone
autoist from this city by 4 lone black
bear is the first hunting tale that
comes from Clinton county forests
this year.
R. A. Quigley and party Of hunt
ers left here at night in an automo-
bile driven by Henry Lee Of North
Jones street, for their hunting lodge
in the Hyner district, near the
pumping station Of the Standard Oil
company. They reached camp safe
ly and Chauffeur Lee was on his way
to Hyner station to meet other mem-
bers Of the party when he saw the
black object ahead that proved to be
a large bear, which refused to move
from the road.
Lee repeatedly blew his horn, but
the foot fell apparently upon deaf
ears. 1t was q clean holdnp in 4
dense forest, and the cold shiyers be-
gan TO trace themselves up and down
the spinal column of the man at the
wheel.
Finally the bear moved of into the
woods, and the frightened motorist
put on full power, breaking the speed
limit on his way to Hyner station -
