tial sections of the city with n petl-

one who must go to the hospital or a
family of starving children and
many such excuses for presenting thn
petition. The business man and the
candidates for public office are being
r"rSccutcd with these petitions and it
works a great hardship on them. If
we had an organization here and all
the charity distributed from that
source it would help in every way.
the business man would save money
by contributing 800 year and the
needy would get speedy attention.
\ number of good women this week
have been looking after the sick and
suffering in the county and found sev-
"ral cases that needed prompt att en-
ton but they had no funds and had to
resort to the newspapers to beg the
public for aid and received it-all thev
asked for, but the organization would
simplify matters and the time is ripe
for the organization. What d you

To Keep the Record Straight
Mr.. Editor:

Mr.. Editor:
For some reason the scribe from
Union who wrote mp the ball game be-
tween Monarch and Union Wednesday
afternoon failed to write the game
correctly as he gave Monarch credit
for only three hits in one place and
four in another, so there must BE- a
mistake somcwhcra. The hits were:
Monarch 5 and Union and | noticed
he failed to give the strike outs which
| think should be given as justice
to the pitchers Elders for Monarch
p"sSed three strikes by nine of I'm.
icn's batsmen while Fowler for Uni,n
could only puzzle five Of Monarch's
Sluggers. Two bad decisions by Tn
ions umpire in the first inning gave
Union two of those runs and resulted
IN the umpire losing his job and was
sent to the showers.
Monarch has several games bookC |

being Chester, Woodruff and New

Your paper today carries an an

This encouragement is being made

the time is here when the people Of
the good county of Spactanburg
would like to see business men ta' g
more interest in tne affairs of state
and county. | do not mean to speak
disparingly Of the legal profession but
it is fact that the majority of our
lawmakers, both state andOfederal,
are lawyers and have been for genera
tions. We are governed under laws
and we need lawyers to help make the
laws. bat the state is also n business
machine and should be managed under
business principles, therefore, | he
licve that some business men should
be included in the representation. We
are collecting annually about $1,000

cry which is out of date and not in
h2rmony with our method of spending.

by could render no better service to

the state and place it on n sound
financial basis and when this is fin
ished go through the statutes and
clean out the dead timber and what
laws are left as practical and applica-
bic to the times institute the proper
machinery for their enforcement.
| would also like to make myself
