Some of the county papers in the
State have already raised the price
of their subscription; a number of
others are seriously considering like
move. This does not appeal to us,
for the reason that the one-dollar-a-
year weekly has come to be such a
fixed thought in the public mind that
it will be almost an impossibility to
set up another standard. What we
do urge is that our subscribers pay
up their renewals promptly. That
will carry us over the present time
of stress. The average reader has
no idea what prompt payment of sub
scriptions mean in the face of the
tremendous rise in the expense of
operating newspaper plant. The
cost of white paper is 125 per cent
higher than it was one year ago. The
cost of gasoline is double in price.
These two items alone have put upon
The Times a weekly additional ex-
pense of more than $500 or
$3.50 a year; enough to employ an
other good printer. But the expense
has come without the additional pro-
ducer. Look at your little yellow la
bel, good friend, and if your time has
expired, send in your renewal. You,
along with 7S0 others now due, will
take us over the present hard place.
Thanking you in advance, etc-The
Editor.

We sincerely regret the death of
one of our soldier bows in Texas
Tuesday. J. I. Blalock was a Young
man held in high esteem by all who
knew him. He was but "a years old,
and died from an attack of typhoid
fever. Company E has lost a faithful
fellow in the death of this young man.
And, say what you will, he died for
his country, just as truly as if he had
been killed in battle. He died for
you, kind reader, and for me. To all
his loved ones our sympathy goes out.
10 them we say: "He died for his
country, and in the service of his coun-
ty, and that is glorious death"

1t is matter of real regret to US
that not one of the many teachers
in Union county sent in an essay
upon "Why People Should Attend
Our County Fair" in the contest
which we recently announced. 1t was
not so much the paltry sum of $500
that we felt would appeal to them, but
the fact that it afforded an opportun-
ity to help on a good enterprise, a
public enterprise. Since no one made
an effort to get the prize offered the
teachers, the gentleman who put up
the money will have it returned to
him. 1t was not our plan; it was
an idea put into execution by public
spirited citizen of Union county, a
man who has on more than one occa-
sion shown his readiness to give a
helping hand to worthy enterprise.
However, the prizes to the school
children will be awarded on "school
day" at the fair grounds. We feel
sure the gentleman who put up the
premium to stimulate interest among
the teachers will forgive everyone of
them if they will but come to the
fair. Perhaps the time limit was too
short. Perhaps each teacher felt that
the one prize of $500 was, among a
number of teachers, too great an eff
fort for the possibility involved. Any
way, we also promise to forgive each
one if you will come to the fair.
Come, all school children and every
teacher, and welcome!

REYNOLDS GREATER SHOWS.
Circus, Carnival and Chautauqua At
fractions Furnish the Midway for
County Fair, Nov. 8, 8, 10.

The Union County Fair association
are completing arrangements for the
Union County Fair which is expected
to be the biggest event this year in
tn history of the association. The
George Reynolds Greater Shows have
been engaged to furnish the midway
attractions. This carnival company
is said to re one of the largest aggre-
cations of amusements travelling this
part of the country, having a man.
moth midway of IA colossal diversified
complete shows, two riding devices,
two sensational free acts, thirty unique
novel concessions and IL piece Royal
Italian Band.
Among the might be named espec-
tally McLaughlin's Ten-in-on in num-
ber three, which has for some of it's
specialties, a real performance of big
bears; the circus with its funny
clowns; Squash, an Ethiopian pig
my, queer diminutive creature from
the wilds of Africa; a Pagan god
Chinese dragon, the man fish and sew
en-legged calf.
"Dare-Devil Decker" and Kid
Channell are big attractions in their
checker game with death in the mo-
tordome. Travelling at lightning speed
on motorcycles around the almost per-
pendicular dome, their desperate
chances thrill the big crowds.
The Dixie Minstrel Show means
just what it says, real, old-time, "Dix-
leland" performance with every de-
lightful feature of song and dance
typical of the Southern negro before
the war.
A regular vaudeville feature, one
quite up to the average standard OF
the day, constitutes a sprightly attrac,
ton.

Newspaper advertising is the best
of advertising, for the reason that it
is reasonable in cost. A man NAV
get out three thousand circulars,
size 9x12 inches. The circulars will
cost him six dollars. He is then put
to the expense of placing them; that.
done by hand, will cost him at least
$25; if mailed out it will cost some
thing like $40 for stamps, envelores
and labor 1t will cost not less than
$4,000 to have printed and carefully
distributed three thousand 9x12 pos
ters. This same advertisement, r.n
one time in The Times will cost IS. 90.
just one-siXth of the sum, and will
go to the heads of 5000 families, thus
having a possible reading by 15.OOC
people. Talk about newspaper adver.
tising being high! 1t is the most
reasonable method yet devised.

The Bull Moose, Elephant, are
abroad in the land. We have no quar-
rel with those who are honest in their
allegiance to the cause revealed in
these quadrupeds. If a man is out
in the open, has the courage of his
convictions, and stands up and fights
for the devil, himself, one cannot but
admire such bravery. But the sneak,
the traitor, the perjurer-he is the
man we hold in the profoundest con-
tempt. The man who has been parad-
ing his democracy, who has sworn to
support the nominees of the Demo-
cratic party, and then deliberately
goes back on his oath is too contemp-
tible for words. He is worse than a
Scalaway and carpetbagger. Bolt
ers are not good to look upon. 1t does
not sound well. 1t hath a lean and
hungry look, does this act of boiling.
We understood that tickets are being
sent out over the State with the name
of Cole II. Blease for governor, sub
stituted instead of Richard I. Man
ming, the nominee. This makes it
quite necessary that every voter ex-
emine carefully the printed ballot be-
fore casting his vote. 1t makes it
also necessary that our voters turn
out and vote in the general election
here Tuesday, Nov. 7. There has,
heretofore, been entirely too much in
difference on the part of our regis
tered voters upon the question of vot-
ing in the general election. 1t will not
do to be Indifferent this time. The
Democrats must turn out and vote.
The danger is real one that threat
ems. Let all good Democrats turn out
and vote Tuesday. Let us pile up
such tremendous vote that the Bull
Moose and the Elephant will be put
to rout and, particularly, that the
Hycnas, the boilers, will be annihilated.

We are meeting with fine success
in gathering material for our u. d.
G. edition, which is to appear during
the meeting OF the u. d. c. conven-
tion here Nov 2O-23. 1t is our pur
pose to make this valuable paper as
well as one that will interest We
will have some of the best articles
written by members of the various
chapters throughout the State during
the present year, and the Union coun-
ty chapters will have special empha-
sis. We do not care how big the edi-
tion may be, for we have the equip
ment to get out a daily if we so de-
sired. We will, perhaps, have "a
page paper for the occasion. If nee
essary we will make it a 50-page
edition. We will also print several
hundred extra papers for that week.
1t will be appreciated if any sugges-
tions come to us from the women of
the various chapters along the line of
any new feature for the edition. We
desire to express our appreciation for
the responses we are daily receiving
from those who are leaders in the
organization. We feel sure that the
end sought will be attained and that
we will be able to get out an issue
of more than passing interest.

The climax in popularity for the
neutrality-suspicious. and bald
heads alike-is the show dubbed "49,"
true and realistic portrayal of the
amusements of the long ago, when
"scoop" bed wagons made up the
trains, that carried the pioneers to
the great West. While it is lacking
in the picture of hardships, of torture
nd death wreaked by thirst in the
trackless alkali plains, beset by wild
beasts and savage Sioux-lacks the
bloodcurdling warhoop and the pierc-
ing howl of the coyote, it has the real
'49 ring in a big body of cow-girls
who execute the old-time "break-
down" dances to the sprightfly music
of "Irish Washerwoman," "The Vir-
ginia Reel" and the like, with the fig
ures "all hands round" "swing your
partner, then your neighbor," called
in stentorian voice. The girls cos
tuned in real wild west type of the
day, and the tent interior decorations,
all add to the realism of the scene.
Many are the other attractions, all
in keeping with the ones named, and
the great free feature-a daredevil
dive from the top of a 101-foot lad
deg sssp a shallow pool of water by
Jack Payne, will be given at night at
the grounds at 1890, and twice daily
hereafter. Another free feature is
the Shooting" Foxes, the pair giving
remarkable exhibitions of skill with
the rifle.
The carnival attractions will open
p. m. Monday, Nov. 9Th. Fair starts
Wednesday, Nov. Sth, 9th and 10th
inclusive. Fireworks Wednesday and
Thursday night.
