We feel no small degree of salts
faction over the fact that our list of
daily subscribers has passed the 1900
mark. This is as we felt it would be,
for we are boosting Union county,
and when you help us, you are help
ing yourself. That is what a news
paper is for-to help every worthy
cause; and we have faith to believe
that we will in turn, be given the nee
essary support. This you can do by
yourself becoming a subscriber and
by speaking good word for the
paper.
We feel sure that the merchants
of Union, if they fully realized the
value of a daily, would be bit more
generous in the matter of giving us
advertising patronage. We are not
receiving the support in this matter
that we feel sure we should receive.
We have, however, steadfastly re-
Trained from out-of- town advertise
ments. We have made no effort to
secure mail order business. We be-
lieve that newspaper should stand
by the local merchants. The only
trouble about it is that often the To-
cal merchant, unmindful of this bene-
fetal policy, fails to stand by the
newspaper. He is frequently quite as
willing to give his patronage to the
newspaper that whips him into line as
he is to give it to the newspaper that
pursues the policy Of protecting him
against the foreign merchant

The old theory used to be that
buzzards were scavengers, and should
be protected. Recent Investigations
have gone to prove that the buzzard is
source of danger; that he spreads
disease, and, therefore should be de-
stroyed. The recent legislature
changed the law forhidding the kill
ing of buzzards, and it is now legal
to kill them. The fact is, every buz-
zard should be killed. 1t has been
demonstrated that hog cholera has
been transmitted through the buz-
zard more than in any other way.
Here's where ole b'rer buzzard meets
his finish. He must 90 and 60 be-
cause he is nuisance.

Jas. L. Carbery, secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce, has already
launched campaign for war gardens.
This is great move, and will result
in great benefit to the people of
Union county. The good feature
about this practical movement is that
Mr.. Carbery is qualified to give exact
and valuable instructions in this mat
ter of gardening. He is an expert in
this line, and his knowledge is ex-
tensive and his advice is sure and
safe. If you have piece of ground
that you will not yourself cultivate
this season, will you not get in COM
munication with Mr. Carbery and al
low him to take it into his movement
If you expect to garden yourself and
are in need Of expert advice, you will
find Mr.. Carbery willing to render
you any service in his power.

Senator Tillman
Will Run Again
VIII Not Make Campaign, But Will
Address Voters of State
Through Newspapers

Senator Tillman is going to offer
for reelection to the United States
senate and he does not intend to
make the campaign throughout
South Carolina this summer, ac-
cordlng to a party of Andersonians
who were in Washington few days
ago on business, and who dropped
in the senator's office to speak to
him before they left the capital.
The first matter mentioned by
the senator to his Anderson visit
ors was the exchange of letters be-
tween Former Senator John L.. Nc
Laurin and certain members of the
Anderson county legislative dele
cation. Senator McLaurin's last
letter had just appeared in the
South Carolina newspapers.
Asked if he was going to make
reply to Senator McLaurin's refer
ences to him in his first letter Sen
ator Tillman leaned back in his
desk chair, and said that he was not
going to make reply; that he was
going to treat Senator McUaurin
with silent contempt, which he de-
serves"
Senator Tillman declared that he
is going to offer for reelection and
added that because of his long eX-
perience and especially under con-
ditions existing at present. he be-
heves he is better fitted to serve
the people of South Carolina in the
senate than any other. He said that
he intends to address the voters of
the state through the newspapers,
and that he intends to stay on the
job in Washington where he is need
ed all the time.
Senator Tillman is chairman of
the naval committee of the senate
and he is one of the busiest men in
Washington today. When the An
dersonians called on him he had a
great mass of correspondence be-
fore him on his desk, and a num-
ber of clerks and stenographet.s
were hard at work keeping up with
him.
The senator appeared to be in
good health, so the Andersonians
say, although it could be seen that
the strenuous session of congress
and his heavy work in his Office had
fatigued him to some extent.
In addition to keeping up with
his work in Washington Senator
Tillman is keeping in close touch
with political conditions in South
Carolina. He is Informed on all
political moves made recently, and
seems to be enjoying most of
them.
"The people can reflect me or
not. I am going to give them an
opportunity of expressing them
selves at the pools, and if the peo-
pie of South Carolina DONE want
me as their representative here,
then I will be content to remain ut
home, My persoal wish is to
stay at home anyhow; I don't want
to offer for reelection said the
senator in summing up his position
with regards to the coming cam
paign.-Anderson Mail.
