u the face of bitter attacks
made by the Germans today to
recover the ground lost to the
British in their victorious adj
vance of nearly a mile yester-
day, Gen. Haig's men have not
only consolidated their most
recent gains but have over
come what were probably the
most desperate counterthrusts
delivered this year by the Ger
mans. .....
Beginning yesterday afternoon, con-
tinuing through the night and winding
up this morning four sanguinary on.
siaughts were delivered by the Crown
Princes shock troops but without
avail. Staunchly the British infantry
held to their positions, and with ma
chine fire, rifle fire and even the
hayonet held off the desperate Teu'
Ions from their goal. Wave after
wave Of gray-coated Germans advanc-
ed TO the outer rim of British defenses
only to be beaten back, each time leay-
ing the ground strewn with dead and
dying. Urged on by their commanders
again and again they returned to the
attack, only to meet the same severe
punishment until exhausted and their
forces decimated the order to cease
was given. .........--...
While the British suffered heavily
kheir casualties were far less than
those of the Germans.

for a road that now reaches from
Union to Tiger river. 1t is some fine
road; there is one hole in it from
Union to Tiger river-that's all the
way; it is nothing but hole There
would have been more people in at
tendance upon the fair but for this
road proposition. There would have
been many more bales of cotton sold
in Union this fail if there had been
a reasonably good road from Union to
Tiger river. There would, in consc-
quence, have been more money in cir
culation in Union township and in Un-
ion county. 1t would have been an
easier thing for you to pay your
taxes. The money you spend outside
your county helps pay the taxes of
other people, but it helps pay not one
cent of yours. SO it transpires that a
bad road has made it harder for you
to pay your taxes. 1t is very proba-
BILE that the people of Union have lost
more through this bad road than the
taxes to keep it in good repair would
amount to. And the tax on vehicles,
stock and your own selves has quad
rupled what you lost in taxes. It's a
bad proposition, and, unless we are
very much mistaken it is a condition
that the people Of the county will in
sist upon being remeded.

Football Stars.

'The work of Gee and Bartles were
the big Clemson features.
Gee has been suffering with an in
jured knee, and it surely takes some
thing more than the love of playing
to put up the fight that he put up,
not only in this game, but in every
game that we have played. The loyal
Tiger was on the job at every minute
of the game, and he could always be
seen where he could do most good for
Clemson and most damage to Caro-
lima. No man on the Tiger team put
more pep and more earnestness into
the game than did this sterling CEN
ter. He always gives every ounce of
his strength to Clemson's athletes
though, and he is a fair example of
a true, loyal Tiger.
"Bartles was our mainstay In aat,-
vancing the oval, and he advanced it
by every conceivable route. He skirt
ed the ends as if he thought he was
running at late and he made holes
in Cardinals line just when and where
he desired
"Jim, our dashing half-back, is one
of the fastest players that has ever
donned Tiger uniform. He is enter
ing on his football prime, this being
his second year of playing, he is con-
tinually adding glory to the Tigers
old record. We predict for this player
place on the 'All-Southern Team
before his departure from the grid
iron .'-The Clemson Tiger.

Beans Big Southern Crop.

Zone of the most important crops
the South has adopted in it's growing
Investigation is the bean," remarked
II. A. Stewart. a farm expert of Geor-
gia, at Raleigh. All varieties of
beans have been planted in the South
ern States this year. The soy bean
in particular has been popularized,
and the acreage sown to this crop this
year is many times that of any pre-
ceding years. The common navy, or
white, bean has also taken it's place
in the general scheme of diversified
tion. The farmers are beginning to
learn that Of all the vegetation culti-
waited for human consumption the
white bean has sustained the human
family for a longer period and under
greater variety of conditions than al
most any other character of plant
growth.
"The ancient Greeks and Macedon-
ians grew the bean for food and ap-
preciated it not only Cor its value in
this capacity, but as soil fertilizer.
The Chinese were the first to culti-
vate the soy bean. That was some
thing like 5000 years ago, it is said.
"Here in the United States, while
the white bean has been in universal
use. it has not been grown to the ex-
tent its value as food product and
soil builder justifies. 1t is gratifying,
therefore, to note the awakened inter
est among Southern farmers in the
production of the white bean as we'll
as the soy bean. 1t will prove first
class substitute for cotton in those
sections of the South where the boil
weevil has attacked cotton."-Wash-
ington Post.

Philippine POstOffice
in Healthy Condition

Manila, P. l., Nov. 7.-Reports of
the Philippine postoffice for the year
1916 are exceedingly encouraging,
showing as they do that for the first
time the service was self-supporting,
its revenues exceeding its expenses by
$36,556.12. The improvement is all
the more remarkable in view of the
gains made in many other lines, for
in that period 110 new postoffices
were opened; 139 new mail routes
were established; eight additional mu-
inequalities were furnished with free
mail deliveries; between 700 and 500
miles of railway mail service were
added; and automobile service was
substituted in number of places for
slower Transportation.

Frequently remarked upon It, we must

Somebody is probably undertaking to
pull off the blind tiger stunt again.

all of it: the blind tiger is for the

If the Union Chamber of Commerce
will take up the matter we believe the
Postal Telegraph company will con-
meet up with Union. A line is to be
built from Greenwood to Spartanburg
and will touch some intermediate
points. We understand that the
Postal people have already made some
inquiries as to coming by Union, and
we feel sure that when this line con-
necting Greenwood and Spartanburp
is constructed, Union can get in on it.
The proposed line will come within a
dozen miles of Union, perhaps closer,
anyway, and it would be a good thing
for us if we can get this service.
The Western Unon here is closed at
8 o'clock each night. The day bust
ness usually has a congestion that
causes delay, and works discomfort
and hardship upon the public. Let
the Chamber of Commerce get in be-
hind this matter and we believe we
can get the advantages of an addi-
tional system here.

Since the Southern Railway h

Since the Southern Railway has
taken off the midday train going
East, it has played the mischief with
our mail service. We are just about
bottled up, and if there is any remedy
we feel that it should be applied. The
early morning train benefits very few
people. 1t comes too early to get let
ters off on it through the postoffice
Besides, it works against the public
in almost the entire county. 1t cuts
Lockhart off from the rest of the
county. 1t shuts off those below here
who have business to come to Union,
for as it now is one from below must
come here and wait for the night train
to get back home. The Special does
not stop at points below, even when
on time, and that is very seldom. We
hope the very unfortunate situation
may be remedied and that right early.

More evidences of prosperity this
year among the farmers and some
who have been employed at public
works than in many years past. The
wise will look ahead and take care
of their money and the unwise will
soon spend it for things they do not
absolutely need. Perhaps there are
some who have made enough clear
of all expenses to carry them through
another year. The strictest economy
is just as essential as if they had
made just a little above expenses.
War is on and crops may fail next
year. The man who has plenty now
and wastes it is not to be pitied and
he should be ashamed to ask help
from his friend or neighbor. There
are lots of people who are in good
circumstances and they are going to
keep that way, but there are some
who must be reminded mot to waste"
