VIII the Woman Vote
Redeem Old Union, S. c.

1t seems from the way the women
think of Union, it needs turning upside
down to get rid of Women of i'll fame
and bootleggers and many other con-
temptible things. Now, if Union is
infested with these germs l say go at
it and God be with you.
1t SENS that we have plenty of Off
GERS to do this and some say, Why
don't they do it? Well why don't the
good people of this town help them ?
this town will roll up their sleeves and
fal in line with the men of law you
will find him on his JOB. always.
thing there is: not an officer On duty
that would for once fail to do his duty
ITO uphold law and order, but if the
people who know of these crimes do
nothing but hollow and then when an
officer; ask about it they say, yes, you
should stop 1t, but, oh, don't
paws IS H. waat M can he do, DO 2
pie should join i'll and help. Nothing
but Christians can do this. No other
need not try. 1t takes grit and work
to convert an evil into a good thing.
think Union, S. c., has the least
crimes of any town in the South to its
size. / have Eecn in them all and j.
the good men and women of Union
could see the crime traffic in other
towns they could enjoy living in old
Union better.
They say, I'VE don't like the pres
cnt administration" | should think
the present mayor and chief and other
officers and council should be honored
for their efforts to keep order, as
Union has never in its history been
confronted with such times. (Other
towns have suffered more) as the
world war has inflicted upon the
country as to crimes. Our officers have
gone into dives of many kind and risk
ed their lives and of their loved ones
losing their father to uphold the law
of our town when were were asleep,
never brought to the public, to mar
our feelings.
All towns and communities have i'll
famed women and | guess Union has
it's share, but its impossible to wipe
out all because it's been from the be
ginning. Mans law is not as strong
as Gods, for He says such women OF
characters must die. There is the
downfall of good boys also that can
be prevented only by Christian faith

want better streets, but if bond is
mentioned it's howl with some
Why? Because those who say mo
bonds" are the ones who have the
best streets and sidewalks and the!
don't like sidewalks. It's certain that
no town can have good streets without
money to build them. So if the people
of Union want. good city streets you
will have to go down in your jeans
and deep to $l50,000 will not build
West Main and East Main streets
We can get that much and start, but
| if any man promises more good
streets if elected without more money
can't believe him.
1t seems that the women's votes
have the candidates guessing. Why
so? Don't we know that 80 per cent
of the married women will vote along
with their husbands. 1t will just bt
more votes to count than heretofore.
SO | can't see where any candidate
can make any promises to do things
that are impossible, only to be looked
upon in scorn later.
We have many things in view fol
good old Union and it's people, bu
! it's far off as the woman vote is just 6
baby now, but we hope to see goot
results in the future but as TO the
present there must be many change:
/ in money matters before we can have
good city streets.
We have the best people in Union
than any town you can find in tn,
States and if you had travelled as
have you would say so, too, and woult
be satisfied better than you are. Al
we need is to quit so much mud sling
ing and get to work for the good o
our town and people. The churche
and the court house and many othe
places, including homes, need TO b.
Strengthened out and put in order, AM
if we all will do this or every on
do his part for good of the law we will
not have so much time to find faul
with others.
