'In Thurstlav. at 10 o'clock a. m iho ?. eoad day's session commenced. good deal of work was done up to 1 o'clock p. m.. whan the brethern, being reminded by their appetites and the memory of the good di nnev our t'artcrsville friends bad served up >e them the previous day, concluded to adjourn for dinner. At 4 p. m. we reconvened, and by j>. m. had finished up our work and adjourned sine die: and thus ends the session of be Grand Division of the .Sons of Temperance of South Carolina for the year 1889. At night a public meeting was held under the auspices ef Cartersville Division. Brother S. S. Stokes, of Union Division made a telling speech, his theme being "Woman in tbe Temperaucc Cause; Her Influence and Responsibility." All who know this brother and failed to hear his speech know they missed n treat. Brother Stokes is one of our most active and energetic workers, and our Grnnd Worthy Patriarch, 1 suppose in compliment to his ability, hns conferred a title upon him, the initials of which arc "l>. 11." Brother Stokes frequently "brought dowa the house" during his telling speech. Brother J. W. Stansfield followed Brother Stokes in a fine address. This brother has a splendid delivery. 1 understand lie is studying law; if so, 1 predict for hiui a brilliant future. Brother Marshall closed the meeting, or the speech making part of it, by a few remarks. During the evening we had some excellent instrumental music and singing, conducted by Mrt. Dn Palmer. Thus ended a pleasant and enjoyable see a:uu ui me ur.inu vivisiou. we wno attended believed that the work mapped out for the ensuing year will do much to advance the cause of temperance.

Take our advice and go and examine the bargains at Flynn's. Calcjht in Oia Own Trjw.?English and | Scutch capitalists, moved by Mr. Carnegie's example, have made up their minds to use the "American tariff" for all it is worth. The million^ which Mr. Carnegie, a Scotchman, has rung out of the American consumers, has not failed to excite the attention of his brither 8cotch," nor to awnken the cupidity f the lordly English. Mr. Carnegie built " Cluny Castle, his Scotch home, with money our tariff rendered possible to him. Then, too, bis magnificent bcquethi to Scotch charities, all of which were got nut of the protec tective tariff, is another lesson going to show how plain the way is made by our protective policy for foreign capital to come in and get the benefit of protection again American-born consumers. Tho Baltimore Sun of the 24th tolls us thst a syndicate of Knglish capitalista is negotiating for the purchase of all steel works in and about Pittsburg. Mr. Nimick of the firm of Singer. Nimick & Co., tells of offers to buy a controlling interest, and other large owners adroittliot negotiations are pending. Should the transfer of ownership take place it would be but a repetition of what has recently happened to various large America!! mills ami breweries. These industries and others have passed into the hands of English and Scotch capitalist*, who will use our imet icon tariff fsrall it is worth. Tho Sun correctly puts it when it says: "The English capitalist will benefit, of course, by his investment in American in' dustries in any esse. I four tariff is kept high he will make money hero, and his mills and factovirs in England will centinue, en the free trade basis, to hold the open markets of the world. On the other hand, if we should reduce our'ariff and capture the world's markets he will be here among us to share in our prosperity. It is for the masses of cur people, the buyers, whilo producers are looking out for themselves exclusively, to consider what policy will leave meat cash in their own pockets." But before this condition of things, we wonder what protectionists will have to say iivw (uoui juriunn gooj. Whan foreign-lionglil monopolies furnish the fit for the blocks of firo who elect our i'residunts, whnt becomes of the free born American then? Isn't it shout time for the I lain American Freeman to ask himself to what all this is lending us?.? Cot.

It takes more than the fall of a few thousand bricks to crush a man of so much nerve and perseverance as friend Rodger. Smoke "TOT NOTCH" Cigars, for sale at Posey's Drug Store. ????? ?? ?

Monday, toward building the Cotton 8ee<l Oil Mill, and if "dog days" will dry tip awhile, the Mill site on the Eastern side of the depot lot will be the busiest place io town. We expec t when the Mountain tourists return they will think, as they look from the ears, that Union has changed considerably since they passed it s few weeks ago. and become a booming, live, progressive town. tetT A few weeks age wc read in the Scientific American a description of a freak of nature in the way of a perfectly formed egg within an egg of regular eijte and yelk, which wns considered a more than ordinary enriosity: hut our friend liuclriieit, the linker and Confectioner, has put the New York egg in the shade completely : J a breaking the shell of an egg of not more than ordinary size h? found two distinct yelks, also a small but perfectly formed egg inside; the small egg only differing with the Urge one in B'7.e and ine shell being soft. .So yon ere Union is one egg ahead of Xen York, yet.

V I^H>ccinl attention to the Special County Commissioners to work W The Board appears determined re upon the work heretofore done ?ds, by exacting all the days of t the law demands and requiring the to be good and permanent, 03 far as The rains have played liavoo with the rot^ds in many places throughout the Count j$, and it will require all the time pre^ scribed by the law, and the very best of road work to put them in passable condition. The road law is practically inefficient, and under it our roads are getting ,worse and worse every year, and there seeius to be no disposition on the part of the people to assist in making them better, even for their own convenience and comfort. The whole system of roatl working in this State should be changed, and some plan instituted try which I every ta* payer shall be compelled to conj tribute his or her share, either in lal?oi\ or ! its equivalent in money, or an mi vnivrrm tax on property, to a general fund for the working of the roads. We don't see the justice of releasing a man over 60 years of age from road duty, whoprobubly uses the roads moro than any one else in the county, while his poor neighbor or laborer, who docs not own a horse, untie, vehicle, or an acre of land, is made to work on the roads twelve days in the year. It is an injustice that carries with it a curse to the State, in the heathenish condition of the roads, and the sooner a road Congress convenes and demands a radical change, the hotter will it be for the general prosperity of the State and our Population ns a civilized people.

There are few abler or more promising young men in this State than Foster MoKissick. At a meeting of the Board of Trade last Tuesday, Messrs \V. T. Graham, 1'. M. Cohen and 11. IV. Tiusley were appointed a committee to examine the roads leading into the town and sec if their locations cannot changed or the present roads improved. Dr. II. S. Beaty has set a liberal and pa triotio example in thai direction bj giving a road way for a road between thia town and Murphy's Mill, so that the steep bill near the mill, which has been a terror to all persons driving teams to town, and caused many to carry their cotton and other produoe to other markets, will be escaped and a better and shorter road froia the Western part of the County located. The Board of Trade could hardly take in haud a matter of more importance to the town, nnd we hope they will push the work with stubbon persistence, until all the roads approaching tbo town shall be so improved, that they will be inviting passways for all seeking a market to sell their produoe and purchase their supplies. A few years ago we urged this very matter upon the merchants of the town, and then tated that $10,000 spent upon the roads leading into town from a'l parts of the County would be a profiiablo business investment; but we could not induct them to take nny action in the matter. The new departure in the natural outcome of the younger and more energetic husinens clement now controlling the bustinciM of the town, and it in truly pleasing to us to sec our young men stepping forward and earnestly advocating the very measures for the prosperity of the town which we have been urging upon our people for years. Voting men, you now have the inside t-ack, and you must keep it. if you expect to be anybody or make anytjiing in litis town. The familiar face ef our old frieud, J. V.
