Many of the operatives took advantage of the time to visit relatives and friends at a distance. If we can't get rain wo are thankful that our farmers are getting an occasional shower. We are here whore we can get ice and cool drinks, and if the farmers can get suffloient rains for their crops we are satisfied. The flat boat at Fish Dam ferry, of which mention was made in The Times, has at last been pulled up from the bottom of #the river. Mr. Deaver was in charge of the success^ fal job. The body of the drowned negro has not yet been heard of. During the past quarter only six uoou ntriuuiy new cotton mills wero announced in the South, representing an investment of $2,670,000, but at the same time thirty-five established companies announced very heavy additions to buildings and spindles. Mrs. Cora Murphy, who is attending the summer school at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, writes that she is delighted with the place and the instructions. She says that while they are not so conveniently located as at the home summer schools, (this being on the University plan and the buildings being scattered) still there are many advantages enjoyed. Mrs. Mnrphy is taking a three months course. The average temperature for the week ending Monday, July 7th, was 88?, which is about 8? above normal. It was the warmest week of the season. Maximum temperatures of 100?, or above, were general ever the State from the 4th to the 7th, with an extreme mmlmnm inco Florence on the 4th. The minimum of the week was 65? at Spartanburg on the 2nd. It is said that many people iq Union county have dug storm pits near their houses and when a cloud approaches whole families make for the safety pits. Rev. Irl R, Hicks, the great weather forecaster, insists that it is the duty of every man to fix a' storm pit for the safety of his family in times of storms and oyolonos. He very truthfully says that only foolish people, lacking moral courage, will regard it cowardly to make a storm pit. In truth the man who fixes a place of safety shows his love and care for the members of his household,?Orangeburg Patriot. ? * Moore?Gossctt. -i At the residence of Mr. Howell Mr. ^ Haskell.

Every poor man in town is requested to lie preseut. This is a vital question and it is expected that there will be a large crowd out Sunday night to hear the discourse. ? Anderson Oil Mill Sold. Mr. (J. II. Burkett, the manager of the oil mill at Andersou, S. (J., spent a few (lavs this week in Union ahulrinor hands with his oM friends lie informs us that the crapany have sold their oil mill f.M i lie Virgiu:a-Oiroli ;t Chemical Company. That they received SU.OOO more than they were offered by the same ' company last year. Mr Burkett will manage a new oil mill which is to be built in 'another section of the State *" soon. - ? ? Back From Texas. Mr. Geo. W. Brewington has returned from a year's residence in Texas,, lie sdV.s that the Lone Star Stale is suffering terribly for rain, and that the crops are, in some sections, literally parched with the excessive heat. They have not had a good season of rain in some months He says, notwithstanding the line prospects about the time of the reunion, if a season ot rain does not soon come there will lie an extremely short crop of both cotton and corn. The Pistols Sent Back. There are no pistols to be found on " sale in Union. This does not look much like the new pistol law is considered a 1 farce, by the merchants at least. We | see. where they have a level head 011 their shoulders They have returned what stock of pistols they had on hand July 1st. It will he seen by reference t.o the T clippings 011 our first page that many A other towns do not think it advisable to . consider the law as a farce. The con- y senses of opinion among the merchants ! seeius to be favorable to the law. We heaid one say that lie wished the sale of ? pistol cartridges had bee.u included. ^ The Glorious Fourth, Several of the stores in Union closed _ 011 the fourth but the majority of them kept open. Those who got a holiday enjoyed themselves in the way that suited them best. Some going to the various barbecues f.nd picnics, 'Others to fish stews, while still others who did not care to face a trip in the scorching sun remained in town. Thfiro whs a Iwi'Iimiha in fnitn of Graded School grounds which was very liberally patronized. Mr. G. C. May, one of tho managers, informs us that all they had was soon sold out and that the results were very satisfactory. There ti were several candidates present and pi though there was a stand close at hand li which had been used at the closing ex- tr crcisses of the school no one seemed in- K clincd to start the speech making, so the candidates contented themselves with a F general hand shaking all around. There was a big picnic at Lockhart which was participated in by citizens of Union and Chester counties.- Several Unionites were present and report a tl delightful time. There wore among the u special features of the occasion union n( Sunday school exercises, the program of w which was elaborate and well executed by the children, aud a base ball game in . the afternoon notwithstanding the extrcmely hot weather. The occasion was , one of all round enjoyment for those present. F A big picnic was also given at West " Springs. There was a large crowd n< present among which there was a good b> spriukling of citizens from Union. This a( is a very fine place to have a gathering tl of any kind. In addition to the festivi- M ties of the occasion anyone can enjoy to tl t.hftir hearts mintanf, the r>nr?l ar?H promoting waters of the famous West 0, Springs. A day spent at West Springs y is wortli the trip at any time. A delightful time was also enjoyed at Hebron where a party of the operatives of the knitting mill with friends, soma 75 jn number, hied themselves to spend the dav in the cool shade of the spreading oaks. A bounteous spread was laid *c at dinner time. There v\is plenty for a all and many more could have bsen eserved. It was a quiet social gathering tl which was enjoyed very much by those present. pi In addition to the above a goodly ir party gathered at Gist's Bridge on the w Forest and a seigning equad soon hauled in plenty of fish for the crowd. The tl fish were stewed and fried by experienced j, hands and those who were. there said fi they had as big a time as anybody and t that their fish stew was something hard _ to beat. As at the other places Union .. was very much in evidence in this picture. There was also a picnic at Morris' mill on Brown's Creek. Quite a number was present here also and the day 01 was very pleasantly spent barring the hi sizzling weather. y< And last, possibly least, hut not one whit, less enioved was a mivatn down on Pat-a-rack Several of our \\ citizens wiih a few of their country friends went down on Pat-a-rflek, caught as many fish us they needed and had a fine stew and fry. Mr. 8. M. Itice, Jr., vs E. U., says h ' >1 big time and killed ai one of the largest cranes ho ever saw. w lie has sent tic bird to a texerdermist 01 and will 3oon have it on exhibition. Taken altogether the glorious fourth te was a day of all-round enjoyment by the citizens of Union. Although the can- Ji didates were present at almost every m place it seemed to a mutual u nder- ai standing that 8j>eecli making thould bo dispensed with and they conlined them- 11 solves to the task of making themselves pleasant in a personal manner to their lc constituents. . 11 **'*?*# #?*?
