A REsERyIsT COMPLAINS


Editor FL PasO Herald:
Having been called in from the re-
serve and been here five months, we
are beginning TO feel that We are be-
ing imposed upon Why should We.
| being trained men, be held in service
while certain units of the national
guard are being sent homee
We were all on civil status, had
positions that promised advancement
and some got married, while others of
US were preparing TO commit ourselves.
After compelling three years Of SerV-
ice We had done our duty, such as every
ablebodied man should DO. and we were
one and all ready to fulfill the remain
ing part OF our contract should the
necessity arise, as is shown IN our
alacrity in responding
The contract reads that We were sub
ject to call for service only in event Of
threatened or actual hostilities- Are
we at war; Are hostilitieS threaten
ing2 Has there been at any time in
the past four months any danger Of
war? And lastly. If there is no danger
OF these things coming 10 pass are the
reservistS getting a square deal2
The general feeling among US is that
there will be small chance OF our get
ting stung again, unless there is an
actual declaration Of war And who
would blame US, who knows the facts
Of the present caseZ
1t is to the interest of the army OF
today and tomorrow to have this policy
changed. What effect will this fiasco
have on the young fellows we are
getting today? VIII they not 10 K ct
the proposition in the same way that
we do? viii they be SO quick TO
ing how we are being treated? VIII
they not get their finals and say
Goodbye and never again

Union, S. c., July 18, 1917.
10 the Editor Union Times,
Union, S. c.
Dear Sir:
If you will kindly permit me a
small space in your good paper, I
would like to add my word of praise
and commendation to the boys of Un-
ION county and especially to the able
and efficient manner in which our
chairman of local board of registration
md exemption, Honorable Macbeth
Young, has handled this undertaking.
But few people know that Mr..
Young is directly responsible for the
War Department making the ruling
with reference to South Cardinals
quota of men to be furnished, apply
ing it to each county as we'll as TO
each State. Mr.. Young made this
fight and won out or Union county
would not now stand alone as having
furnished 33 more men than her
quota. Even now / understand there
is an effort being made to give other
counties credit for the 33 men over
and above Union county's quota for
WV ''ioN vi diC, DuI 1Oullp con-
tention that these 33 men should be
deducted from the second draft from
Union county is correct and the BOYS
Of Union county can count on him to
see that we get credit for everything
that is rightfully due us. Why should
other counties get credit for the pa
trlotism of the men of Union county
and in the second draft 33 of our BOYS
would have to take the places of BOYS
in other counties who had taken credit
for our surplus. Mr.. Young has made
a noble fight and to him and him alone
the boys Of Union who are of the
draft age are due their thanks and
should show their gratitude. The
name Of Macbeth Young will live in
the hearts of the people of old Union
county for years to come
Very truly yours,
i. j. Parham.

NOT a PASSENGER KILLED.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., July G.-Fair-
fax Harrison, president of Southern
Railway company, announced today
that out Of substantially 1900, 900
passengers handled by the Southern
railway for the fcsal year ended June
30, 1917, not single one was killed.
The management takes the utmost
satisfaction in this achievement
which it has sought to attain, and
nearly, but not quite, attained for sew
cral years past. 1t reflects not only
greater human care and efficiency in
operation, but the improved facilities
which have been progressively in
stalled on the Southern in recent
years.
The handling Of these eighteen mil
lions of passengers required 71,775
trains, composed of the average num-
ber of passenger cars seating ~ pas
sengers each; it means 249,780 pas
senger cars.

The movement is on foot to mark
the graves of the Lustania victims
on the coast of Ireland. 1t is said the
spot where one thousand bodies of the
first u-boat atrocity lie buried is sadly
neglected. This spot should have a
suitable mark and that mark should
reveal m no uncertain language the
foul crime committed by Germany.
Future generations must be taught
that such cowardly murder, such
wholesale butchery of women and
children puts blot upon a nations
name that even war fails to eradi
cate. There must be the reckoning
before the bar of civilization. That
reckoning will fall heavily upon Ger
many.
The Union times. [volume] (Union, S.C.) 1894-1918, 1917-07-20
UNION COUNTY CAME FIRST.

1t was not a mere accident that
Union county came out with the dis
tinction Of having more than her
quota Of soldiers, thus escaping the
necessity Of having a single man con-
scripted. 1t is something of which
we may feel justly proud. Not an
other county in the State, and so far
as we know, not another one in the
other States made a like showing.
But it was not accidental. Among
the causes that led to this high dis
tinction may be mentioned the follow
ing:
The work Of Macbeth Young, coun-
ty chairman, was splendidly executed,
and one feature emphasized by him
before the day for enrolling was his
insistent advice to young men to en-
list before the day of enrolment.
The johnson Rifles, Co. T., long
before there was any thought Of war
with European powers, was a we'll
organized and efficient company. In
der the leadership of Capt. j. Frost
Walker, Jr., and his fellow officers.
there has always been striking en-
phasis upon the need for trained SOL
ders.
The "U. d. c." work and that of
the 'D. A. RS" contributed much to
the final happy conclusion. These or
ganizations are doing and have for
years been doing a most excellent
work in keeping the fires of patriot
ism burning in Union county.
Throughout the entire county the
ministers Of the various denomina-
tions and the leaders in the various
benevolent orders have emphasized
Nthe need for patriotic service.
y Last, but not least, Unions news
Apers have, in season and out of sea-
held before the citizenship of the
Aty the necessity of patriotic ser

In conclusion, it must not be for
gotten that the manhood of this coun-
ty inherited from the fathers a record
for bravery, unselfish service and
high ambition not often equalled, new
er eclipsed by any other county. Un-
ion county has a way of being first
when it comes to service for the coun-
try's good.
1t is grand achievemnt, a nota-
BILE one that Union furnished her full
quota and then some.
