C.t June 19.?The South Carolina State Press Association met in this city on last Thursday. The Association was called to order by the president, Col. T. B. Crews, of the Laureusville Herald. The attendance was unusually large, aud the annual meeting of 1880 has oeen, it is said by many, the most delightful since the organization of the Association in 1875. Ex-Governor U. F. Terry delivered a short and appropriate address of weldolbe on Thursday morning at the rooms of the Exchange. The 'business proceedings of the Convention were necessarily short and of no public interest. Twenty-Bcven new members were enrolled yesnroifiui I lie "cfly\ fie"cotton'factorfes,"' various other manufacturing institutions, and the ct 1legc commencements were . visited by the Association in a body. The inspection of the cotton mills was a new and interesting pleasure to many from the low-country. At the session of yesterday morning Col. W. J. Houston, of the Atlanta and Charlotte Air Line Railroad, was introduced. He spoke of the great road he represented and its ofTorts to improve and develop the country. The owners are Eastern men of large wealth who have placed the road under the management of Southern gentlemen, with the command, "Go forward nnd develop the country/' He slated that the road has immigration schemes on foot which are working well, and in time will show good results by bringing into the country colonics of the best classes of laboring people in Europe. lie closed by tendering to the Press Association the free use of his road, and in addition tendered each member a through return trip to Cincinnati. Two special new conches, never before used, were in waiting, he said, for the use of the Association. The invitation was formally ncccnted, and all arrangements have been com1'icnin ior tnu departure <Vr ctiiolnnaii < o.oo this (Saturday) P. M.

Hngood ana other distinguished gentlemen, and the leading merchants and business men of the city. There was the usual number of toasts, and speeches were made by the Governor elect, the Her.

The Commissioner will neglect nothing that will advance the agricultural and mechanieal industries of the State, and he confidently relies upon the people to sustain him. We desire to have samples of the products cf every County. Tlicy will be carefully arranged in the proper cases and plainly marked with the nnme of County and contributor. We want specimens of Wheat, Corn, Oats, Teas, Hye, Hurley, lticc, Buckwheat, Flax, l'eanuts, Tobacco, Cotton, Millet, Clover and Grasses, Dried Fruit, Chufas, Molasses, Wines, Woods, Minerals, Stone. Marble, any article used for Agricultural or Mechanical Purposes manufactured in the State, Native Birds, Insects, and, in short, anything and everything that will show the wealth of the County, aid and encourage home manufact11res and prove interesting to visitors. The importance of having such an exhibit at the capilol is apparent. It will be our best advertisement in showing out wonderful resources. and more can lie learned in this way, by strangers seeking information, in aday than in a y?m'? tr?T?l.

I * i A Colored Wedding. ( One of the notable occurrences in this town ^ last week was the marriage of Mr. J. R. Frank lin of Spartanburg to >Ku A'Jdie J. Parliam of this town. The parties are very respectable and'worthy young colored persons, and we hml lite pleasure of seeing the bride in her really bead ri Ail bridal costume and the elegantly arranged and bountifully supplied suppor table, both of which'were equal to anything of the kind we have seen fbr many a day. The wedding ceremony took place at the oolored Methedist Church, Rev. M. Latta officiating Minister, and the supper was at the c residence of Mr. and Mrs. II. L. UoS*, with ^ whom Addie had been living for many years, ' and who felt a deep interest in her welfare, because of her faithfulness nrwd general good ohar- J acter. Our thanks are tendered for a bountiful *' remembrance from the supper table, ertd our j best wishes follow the young couple. s \ T . | ' MSsC* : Iw-; U>ok Wsll to Tour Company, * ?i We have received a letter from'Fairfield Coun7 warning us against the teachings of a prowling Qreenbaokor who, the writer says, is believed to be a hireling of the Radical party, ind sent out into the country settlements of the jpper Counties of the State ?particularly those Bounties in which the vote between the Democratic and Republican party la P*|My clone?to divide the democratic vote nponfijw abstract idea of a greenback currency. Trne^vrHer says that McLean first finds out who are the soreheads, very doubtful and office-seeking democrats of a county and makes them his tools and associates. This certainly agres? with his course here. In that County, (Fairfield) the writer lays, McLean organised a greenback club, in which there are a number of women and children, seven white men who supported the Radi| cal party in its most corrupt time, with three ?x-radical office holders. We notice one peculiar feature in McLean's mission through the State: He never holds public meetings or makes public speeches at any place where he would be likely to have the merits, aims and objects of his one-idea doctrine discussed. In every County can be found grumbling, oreheaded, on-the fence and always-dissatisfied individuals, ever ready to follow any new and captivating political dogma that may come along. Such men are mainly governed by the hope of r * W?? --* - - general good. In this Slats the move is inten ueu iu uesiroy me ucmocrauo majority lor rresident and we warn all good democrats to keep out ot such an infamous plot. .? . ? The Weather and Crops. The farmers generally, in this County, ore feeling quite anxious about their crops. The extremely dry, cold and windy weather the past three weeks has no doubt materially injured the oitton. Most of it, however, is clenn of gross, and rain now would enable it to partially recover About two weeks Ago good rains fell in partial spots North-east and East from here, but the larger part of the county is wanting rain badly. Corn is suffering much for want of rain and from the worm. We saw a stalk on Monday that had two worms eating the silk encased in the green shuck, and upon cutting the stalk open four worms were found boring their wny in every direction and completely eating out the inside. In many fields one-third of the corn is in this condition and worse. Farmers are puzzled to know what to do to arrest the ravages of this pest. Gardens are almost entirely ruinel. Beans, Cucumbers, Squashes and Tomatoes are dying for want of rain. Cabbages may come out if it rains in a few days. Housekeepers have a hard lime to get up a dinner. Pastures of all kinds are burning up. Those under fence are doing best. A correspondent at /imith's Ford writes, under date of 20lh : Crops here are promising where they have been well worked, and if a farmer is in the grass now you may set him down as a lazy man, for I never saw a more favorable year fur farmers to keep their crops clean and In good condition.? We would like to have a good rain now to wet the ground thoroughly. We have had gentle rains ever since crops were planted. Not a single one has fallen to wash the land since planting began. don^a^oompan^ of^y ou^i tlemen have been rehearsing for some time a very interesting Drama in three Acts, entitled "Caste,'? to be played in this town for the most laudable purpose of raising money to build a monument over the grave of the noble soldier and talented citizen, Gen. Gadberry. Some time ago we called attention to the disgracefully negleeted grave of Gen. Gadberry, but none could be found willing to make a move toward improving its appearance, and Mrs. Herndon and all engaged in it with Iter, deserved the most liberal encouragement of the people throughout the County for their noble effort to do justice to one of of Union's bravest sons.

It is with no common feelings of pride and gratification that we publish the following tri. umph of a young man who was born and raised in Union County : Mr. Georore W.

Since the opening of the University of Vanderbilt this makes the third instance where young men from South Carolina have carried off the honors of the institution. We understand thai George has selected the busy and progressive city of Atlanta in wliioh to looate and practice the professievwof law, and wo are confident his bright talents and pure moral character will soon command for him a front place among the many notable men of the "Gate City" bar.

Tho drill cuts a well 16 inches in diameter, and wells of that sice, bored o over a year ago in this town, have never failed f? to give a supply of water. si .*. o Severe Illness of the County Treasurer. s In justice to the County Treasurer we state that on Tuesday of last weok ho was taken dan- ^ gcrously ill and on Friday last was confined lo ^ his bed, unable to meet the holders of school ^ claims at Union on that day as he advertised to 1 do. He came to town last Tuesday, but it was ^ very apparent that he was loo weak to attend to much business, and, from the nature of his disease, we think he risked much in travelling and attempting to do any business at all this hot weather. If his effort on Tuesday does not cause a return or the disease, he expects to be well enough to attend to the duties of his office in a few days. Sickness is always taken as a valid excuse for absonce from duty, and those who know the scvority of the Treasurer's sickness will readily excuse him. The Green Front Store. One of the cleverest men in the Stato is Capt. Moultrie Oibbes, and we are truly pleased to find that he has concluded to cast his lot among us. He can be found at the New Green Front Store, just above S. W. Porter's Dry Goods house and has thechoicest lotof goods, to suit all tastes anil nnckfl.q Ibnt ovor wnq srnn in ITninn Wo have known Cupt. Gibbcs for lo, these many I years, and can testify to his being a pure gen- I tleman, and a good soldier during our "little unpleasantness." He was the gallant Cnptnin of the Saluda Guards, as good and true 1 a company of men as any iu the confederacy. Give him a call, Ladies ; his store is kept in j the neatest order and we know you will find i him a most pleasant and obliging gentleman. i For the Times. JonssTille Items. Eoitoh Times :?A correspondent of your paper in the last issue tells us that the Teachers Convention will be held at Jonesvillc this sum- ' nier airl asks whether the good people of the place would cntertaia the members. In the opinion of some of our citizens it was thought that llock Church was the place selected and not Joncsville. To ensure (if Jonesville is the place for the Convention to be held) quarters and entertainment for all, the Executive Committee, if there is such, sltuuld address a circular to our leading citizens to see if accommodations could be procured and that would be satisfactory to the community at large. The Angel of Death passed over our town and cast the shadows of his wings over two houses and the souls of two promising children have r J i%.lLal,.Up^ # ? ? ml ? iaaaallfoe turns. Spaoe will not permit me to dwell upon the ceremonies of consigning the souls unjeweled caskets to their native earth. In spite of reason they are fraught with bitterest anguish to all mourners, even to those who feel assured that "lifes true receptacle" descends not te the dark earth. Last Sunday a goodly number attended the Baptist Church, not only to hear the prcachiug but the "Organ" hail its attraction and was listened to with eager attention. The sermon was remarkably fine, and the listeners grew light of heart as tlicy hearkened. Darkly despairing minds received a ray of hope : '.he sad were comforted, the faint-hearted grew strong, the strugglihg were touched with peace, the true laborers tasted of the precious grapes that grew in the vineyard of their Lord. The political question has at last reached us and it is very common to see small knots of people huddled togethor discussing the coming campaign, aad we are credibly informed that Jonesville is not behind iu supplying candidates to satisfy the wants of the voters, as there arc not quite offices enough?a score or more might be instituted (with uo perquisites attached) so that every one who wants could be satisfied.

Maekey, preeiding in the Seventh Circuit at the June trrm of the Circuit Court, for the year 1880. The Grand Jury for the County of Union beg leave to make the following reporte : That they hare duly and deliberately considred the several matters brought to their conideration by his Honor aud herewith recommend to the good oitisens of this County the rest propriety and neoessity of giving up the iwless habit of abryiro deadly weapons concealed upon their pbusons. It is apparent to every good oitiien and man f sense, that any gentleman would blush and >el deply ashamed to be caught parading the treets on a publio occasion, or, for the mallei f that, on a private occasion, with a revolvet winging around his neck like a powder horn r sticking vulgarly and threateningly out o is hip pocket, making hin a picture of a pi ate. Why uot blush more deeply and be stnoth red with phame, when he carries those im dements of lawlessness and death concealed int< oinmunities and associations of a civilized ant nnooont community. It is more objectionabl han carrying weapons openly, because cquallj lemoralizing, equally barbario, and more im neasurably dangerous when the warning, "be * a. swung to tho public viow 5001 citizens, men of sense and geuiloinei vould give the surly dog all the needed space ind old Tiger would most probably turn int lust and ashes without ouce loariug the flesh 0 ipilliug the blood of a single citizen. Whereas f people were not put on their guard, the surl iloodydog, most probably would tear and lacerat lome of our best citizens, or our sweetest an nost promising children. Tho experience of tlii State with two legged Tigers, has most indispu ably demonstrated the last proposition to be 'act, in so far as it relates to them. Why d nen object to carrying weapons openly 7 It i because they feel it to be wrong and unmanly because their observation shows tliein that th jest, most honored, bravest and most iatelligcr tcquainlances, condemn it as ridiculous, an anueccssarily dangerous to tho peace ol th State and the lives of individuals The carrying of couceuled weapons, is prim facie cvideuccof a mind uncultivated, uumanlj malicious, unlawful and irreligious. Let on people, for the sake of their own good, the get eral cause of human civilisation, and the gent ral cause of a refining, elevating Christianity give up this infamous habit, and let them rel upon the weapons of brotherly love, reasoi justice and christian charity, and then the erne of the pistol will have terrors for none but tli ... 1 vuiguiia) vi lucu gvuirvros. But leaving tlie ground, the higli ground, < iiioih1, civilized and christian manhood, it greatly, boundlessly objectionable, on the grouu of dollars and cents. Three-fourths of the e: penscs of this County, in the Court of Getter Session, has flowed directly from enrryir concealed wenpons. Let the good people thin of that, and stirred by the one or the other < both causes, bring the resistless power of the condemnation, boldly, firmly and constantly e pressed, to crush this lameutable evil. In furtherance of these views, we recommcr the Al|Unicinital authorities of incorporate lotahs in this County to pass ordinances again the evil, and as a Grand Jury we recommend our Representatives to support zealously, ai law against this evil which utay be iutroduc in the Legislature, or introduce it theuiselvi and we recommend to the people to urge tl .Members of our Legislature to pursue such course. Si le by side with this great evil, and t lied to it, ruus the still greater evil ol the sa and unnecessary use of spirituous liquor. Tl cry of the State, the cry of the nation, tl cry of the civilived world, is, "God deliv us from this evil,'* and ?yel it grows. Bin nun was created, he has not done, nor could 1 do, any act more hated by his Creator titan use spirituous liquors to excess. "Is the lov of money the root of nil evil?" Not now ; may have been 3,000 years ago; but the tru of the proverb, is cxplo le 1 by the experiem of this day and this people, and the wise m? of to-day will wiite the proverb, "The love whiskey is the root of all evil." It makes of man a brute, an inhuman fiend, a conscienc less devil and a slobbering imbecile. It is ti tine qua non to the devil. It is the most ind scribablc and damning curse to man, for it ii fallibly destroys his happiness in the Stat County and family relations as well as iuJivit unity, and predestinates him to indescribubti terrible and cternul sutlerings in the future The two evils coicbined, when allowed, wi check the growth of u State, and County, i prosperity, civilization, morality and religiot and will consequently block all the avenues i iruo happiness. We, therefore, recommend to the incorporai towns to pass ordinances forbidding the sale i liquor therein. We recommend, strongly, earnestly, that It County Commissioners grunt no license to se liquor in this County. We regret that they hai granted a licenso since our last report. We n commend to our legislators the passage of a la prohibiting the sale of liquor in this State. We hare examined the Trial Justices' Book before us and find them satisfactory and coi rectly kept.
