Now that you have worked hard,
skimped, saved and planned for many
months, don't you think it is about
time to get yourself new suit, your
wife a new dress and take a day off

will not hurt you to do any one or all
of these things. Nor would a little

Considerable space is being given
by the newspapers of the State advo-
eating that arrangements be made for
the soldiers to vote in the elections
next year. We had never thought it
improbable that they have this oppor-
tunity. Certainly they should vote,
no matter where they are-South
Carolina, France or Timbuctoo. And
vote they will. Our government, State
and national, will have to see to that

LET THE SOUTH FEED ITSELF.

With soil capable of an almost
limitless range in production, both as
to variety and quantity, it does seem
strange that the South has been so
blind as to buy almost everything it
West; -four from afar; canned goods
from just any old place; even grass
had to be brought in. Tons and tons
imported! No wonder we have felt
the pangs of poverty. 1t would have
been just had we come to the verge of
starvation. One of the chapters of
our history that will be read by future
generation will be that one dealing
with this wholesale importation of
food and feed stuffs. 1t would be
funny if it were not so tragic.
But better day is at hand. The
day was being slowly ushered in be-
fore the outbreak of the war, but the
war has tremendously accelerated the
sunrise. In ten years it will be a
matter of disgrace for farmer to be
caught hauling hay from a railway
station to his farm Let us hope that
there will not be left by that time
one farmer in Union county so sadly
deficient in judgment.

lit is not pleasant to have to write
hbout these things, but it is neces-
sary. Our people ask for reason
\ for our being in war-let them know
that the world is to be made safe for
democracy and more, it must be safe
for women and children. IF THE
UNITED STATES HAD NOT GONE
INTO THIS WAR 1T IS MORE
THAN PROBABLE, YES, 1T is AL
MOST CERTAIN THAT THE VERY
SAME ATROCITIES PERPETRAT-
ED AGAINST THE BELGIAN AND
FRENCH WOMEN WOULD HAVE
BEEN ALSO THE FATE OF THE
WOMEN OF AMERICA.
It is the man uniformed or whose
selfish interests blind him to every
ideal above those of a pig who can
question our going TO war. Let the
brooks and towards and peace advo-
fates cease their mouthings. 1t is bet
Fer to die in. cause like ours than
EKs sf degradation offered
uA the guise of German "Kultur."
And how come reports of Germany
entering upon course at home that
is horrifying to everybody in America
unless it be the Emma Goldman stripe
of woman. 1t is said that the Ger
man authorities have conscripted
their women of ages within a certain
limit for the purpose of having them
give birth to children so that the
State may be repopulated. Thus the
basest construction has been put upon
the most sacred thing in life, and mar
riage has become mockery and
myth. With loathing deep and eter-
nal, and with every ounce of red blood
in our veins, we say, GERMANY
MUST BE CRUSHED OR HUMAN
1TY is DAMNED. AMEN.

Some people say: "Well, now that
we are in war, the thing must be gone
through with. We must do our duty
to our government" The implication
being that we should never have gone
in. But this is not enough. If it were,
the thing now to do would be the
Fastening to cry for peace. No, this
is not sufficient. We are in, and it's
pity we stayed out as long as we
did. If we were out now the only
honorable and possible thing to do
would be to hasten in. We are in be-
cause the foundations of civilization
are at stake. If the civilization of
Germany and Turkey be sure enough

ilization!" !

which has been going on throughout
the county during the past two weeks,
and which closes here on Saturday
with grand rally, appealed to the
merchants of Union for advertising
patronage sufficient to get out a bit
bigger and better paper than usual.
The appeal was not in vain. The mer-
chants, as may be seen by the patron
age in this weeks issue, tells it's own
story. And the appeal we made to
them was that they not only help us
get out this extra PACED paper, but
that they look over their stocks and
on that day, Saturday, Aug. 18, make
a special bargain day of it. We feel
sure that they have done this, as you
may see by reading the advertise
ments in this issue. Union merchants
are selling goods today under the
wholesale market price. This is a
fact that you can easily demonstrate
for yourself.

FEEDING THE NAVY.

Naturally, with this busy day of
drills and recreations and the tang
OF salt air, the men of the battleship's
crew eat heartily, writes F. E. Evans,
in the August st. Nicholas. The mess
attendants for the officers are Fill
pino boys. Nowadays, on ships like
"he dreadnaught Nevada the cook of
the ship, always an important and
well-paid post, is trained electrician.
Every bit of work in the Nevada's
gallery is done by electricity. Tie
cook turns switch, and along the
lire of electric ovens the appetizing
meats, the potatoes-that are peeled
by electricity-the soups, and the veg
etables begin to steam and sizzle.
Electric hoists carry the pans and
pots with their steamine foods to the
decks below, and the cleaning and
securing of the ironware dishes is
done by an electric dishwasher.
"The navy feeds it's men from the
pick of the market because it's paw
masters, buying daily for so MANY
men, get the best at wholesale prices.
The mess tables, scrubbed until thew
are white, are slung in racks above
the deck when not in use; and as
soon as the meals are served, all signs
of them are removed in shipshape
manner. Because every bit of space
aboard ship is precious, each man has
his mess table, hammock, sea bag and
gun all in the same casemate. To helm
out the sweet tooth of the crew, which
is big one, the paymaster also car
ries large stock of candy and other
tidbits that are sold at low prices.

or at sea, he serves chicken and ice
