FORD GIVES $500, 900
TO RED CROSS FUND

The gift of $5OO,OOO from the Ford
Motor company, of Detroit, Mich, to
the American Red Cross was an
nounced today by the Red Cross War
Council. The gift is in the form of a
credit on the Ford factories for half a
million dollars worth of automobiles,
ambulances, parts, ETC., as the Rcd
Cross may designate.
With the responsibilities assumed
by the Red Cross for the support of
the American Ambulance in France,
the Ford gift is particularly valuable.
Despite the large number of ambu-
lances in service on the Western front,
many more are needed. Reports that
no more machines were being accept
ed for this theater of war are without
foundation. In addition, ambulances
may be sent as a part of Red Cross
aid to be extended to Russia and Ser
bia.
Experiments on new type of n
bulance body are now being made un-
der the direction of the New York
County Chapter of the American Red
Cross. The New York Transportat:l IN
company, operating the notorious
lines on Fifth Avenue and other
streets, has contributed the services of
its chief engineer to supervise this
work
A kitchen trailer designed by engi-
neers of the New York County Chap
ter is now being furnished in large
numbers to ambulances companies in
training tthe camp at. Allentown.
Pa. Experts of the War Department
are also trying out the trailer with a
view to its adoption by the army.
Contributions for the Ambulance
service of the Red Cross or for kitch-
en- traillers should be made through
the local chapters or direct to the
Assistant Treasurer, American Red
Cross, Washington, ID. C. 1t is pre-
ferred that such gifts be undesignated
and in cash as far as possible. The
Red Cross is then able to place orders
to take advantage of quantity prices,
and distribute them where needs are
most urgent.

EVERYTHING FROM NEUTRALS.
Manufacturers Record)

Every bushel of food, every pound
of cotton, every ton of iron that we
sell to neutrals in Europe helps to
lengthen the war and to bring death
to American soldiers. 1t is not our
place to be concerned as to the suffer-
ing of these neutrals. Most of them
have contributed literally to Ger
many's success by selling to Ger
many the stuff that has been bought
from us, or using the stuff bought
from us and selling their own stuff
to Germany-simply another way of
beating the devil around the stump"
Southern cottonseed-oil cake has
been used to fatten the livestock of
Holland in order that the livestock
might be shipped by thousands into
Germany. 1t is true that the Holland
buyers did not ship the cottonseed into
Germany, but they shipped the cattle
fattened on this cottonseed cake.
If we are to realize the full magni-
tude of the war in which we are en-
gagged, we must vigorously, regardless
of the individual losses of shippers
in this country, cut out all supplies to
the neutrals which can by any manner
of means be shipped through them to
aa2J- -anv- A-s shesmade to take the place
In these neutral countries or local stuff
which they ship to Germany. We
have not enough food for ourselves,
and our allies are in danger of star
vatlon. In the meantime there are so
or more Dutch ships in New York and
Baltimore harbors loaded to the gun
wales with grain nominally intended
for the neutrals, but the evident des
tination of which would be Germany,
either directly or indirectly.
1t is well that these ships have been
temporarily held uo by the govern
ment They should be held up per-
manently and not bushel of this
stuff be allowed to go to these neutral
countries. Every bushel that we send
to them is robbing ourselves and the
Allies. Every bushel that we send to
them is helping to bring death to more
of our soldiers than would otherwise
be necessary.
We trust that President Wilson will
wisely insist upon entirely cutting out
of our exports to neutral countries
everything which by any manner of
means can be utilized for the benefit
of Germany, whether it be food, cot
ton or iron and steel. The most rigor-
Gus embargo on all of these products,
regardless of the effect upon individ-
uals In this country, must be enforced.

GO-TO-SUNDAY-SCHOOL DAY.
To Be Observed Sunday, November
4th, 1917.

Spartanburg, Sept. 5.-Sunday, No
the South Carolina Sunday School AS
sociation as Statewide Go-to-Sunday-
School Day for South Carolina. This
particular date, it has been announced,
will be observed throughout North
America as International Go-to-
Sunday School Day.
In the official call for mobilization,
Marion Lawrance, general secretary
of the international Sunday School
Association, states as some of the OBJ
ectives of the day:
1. To enlist recruits for the Sunday
School.
2. To stimulate all Sunday Schools
to greater activity.
8. To advertise to the community
that the Sunday School is for persons
of all ages.
a. To impress upon the church a
larger sense of it's responsibility and
opportunity in the Sunday School
5. To impress upon all the import
ance of lining up the Sunday Schools
to help our government in such mat
ters as Bible study among the SOL
diers, Red Cross promotion, and food
conservation through the joint COM
mttee of the Sunday School Council
and our Association.
6. To inaugurate plans whereby
each local church and Sunday school
may be kept in helpful, sympathetic
touch with it's members who 90 to the
front in this world war.
z. To impress the great truth upon
the young that, while this war is
changing the map of the earth and
overturning customs and institutions,
God and His Word, Jesus Christ and
His saving power, mans individual re-
sponsibility for Christian living, abide
and ever will abide unchanged.
Go-to-Sunday School Day was OBJ
served for the first time in South
Carolina last February. In order to
unite with the other states, the South
Carolina Sunday School Association,
according to announcement by r. d.
Webb, genral secretary, has moved up
the annual date a few months. Last
February the day was observed by
hundreds of schools throughout South
Carolina, and was a great success. A
large number of schools more than
doubled their regular attendance and
hundreds of people were retained as
permanent members. According to a
most conservative estimate there was
an increas of $4,000 in the attendance
on that day. 1t is expected that the
observance of Go-to-Sunday School
Day in November will be more gem
eral throughout the State than it was
in February.

there are three people reading news
papers where there was one before.
The habit is becoming fixed, and it will
continue to grip the people more and
more. In the past our people have
not read as widely as they should
have done. The great war and other
events have transpired to make the
people read more than ever before.
A live daily paper would help to
unity our people, develop in them the
spirit of team work and would be used
to aid in every forward movement.
1t would be our idea to continue the
present weekly issue of The Times,
but in addition put out an issue every
day in the week except Friday, the
present day upon which the weekly is
issued.

We respectfully call to the attention
of the county authorities the condi-
tion of the macadam road leading out
of Union to Tiger river. This road is
a monumental disgrace to our county.
1t is almost impossible and daily gets
worse. 1t has become so bad that the
whole western section of the county is
gradually being drawn into other
towns to trade and transact business.
Tt will be hard to win back this trade
once it becomes fixed in it's flow to
other towns. Union merchants, and,
in fact, Union property holders in
general, are the ones who suffer the
greatest misfortune. But the whole
county suffers. If Union progresses,
it will tend to help the whole county
We believe the macadam road
should be plowed up and thrown out
and the road bed surfaced with top
soil. That's the only remedy for the
bad situation. And it should be done
at once, before the fall business sets

MY OWN HYMN TO GREATER
AMERICA.

Composed and copyrighted 1917 by
Chas. j. North. All rights reserved)
From the crests of Thy frozen noun, ,
tains,
To the sands of Thy tropic sea;
In our many tongues and voices,
We are raising our hymn to Thee
The stars with their glory, immortal,
Shine out from the measureless blue,
To gild Thy Flag with the story,
Of all that is brave and true.
The golden rod blooms in Thy valleys,
And the sage brush roots in Thy
plains,
The pine looks out from Thy noun
tains,
In the sunshine, and SHOWS and
rains.
In wisdom, Thy men grow braver,
In beauty, Thy women grow strong,
Thy children are learning, ever,
The battle of right with wrong.
AS the springs run down to the rivers,
And the rivers flow down to the sea :
So the lives of Thy sons and daughters
Flow down in their strength to Thee.
When the clouds of danger gather.
They will rally to guard Thy path,
Like the rushing of mighty waters,
And the storm in it's whirlng wrath.
We can see in Thy waving Emblem,
The symbol of all that is free.
And we lift it high in the heavens.
Where all in tho world o,,, eoo
We pray that in mercy and goodness,
It's colors shall stay unfurled,
Till Thy radiant dream of justice,
Is the vision of all the world.

SHALL UNION HAVE 4 DAILY
PAPER?

We have been considering the queS-
tion of issuing a daily paper, and if
we can meet with the necessary back
ing we purpose doing so. There are
many reasons why Union should have
such an enterprise. The city needs it,
for this is intensive rather than ex-
tensive activity. We are prepared to
furnish it, provided we can secure the
necessary cooperation of the public.
Quite a number of business men have
expressed themselves as being favor
able to the movement, going so far as
to say that they would double their
advertising space. Two business
men, when spoken to about the mat
ter, expressed doubt of the wisdom of
coming out with daily, but these ad-
mitted it would be a good thing for
Union. Their fear was that it would
not succeed financially. Of course that
would be for us to consider. 1t must
pay, otherwise it would not long en-
dure. We believe we have worked out
basis that will give a reasonable
margin of profit, and at the same
time, furnish creditable paper, say
eight pages. In other words, the pa
per would be the size of the present
Times, and would come out every day
in the week.
One of the big items of expense, of
course, will be the cost of telegraphic
news. But we could not think of un-
dertaking the issuing of daily with
out a good news service. People are
awaking to the fact that it pays to
keep in touch with all the great mo-
ments of the day. They want the
news, and they want it fresh and up
to-the-minute. For such a paper, par
ticularly home paper, they are will
ing to pay, and pay well. We can
furnish such paper off our plant
without the investment of another dol
lar in machinery. Indeed, it has all
along been our aim to undertake such
a move, but until the present, we have
not felt that the time had come. Now
