charged corruption and fraud in former

should pay taxes on but sixty-six per cent,
of their real property and that the rni'roals
should return tltcir p s*es?ions at less than

hk&- The i ime for clos-ing I lie lax collector's

the liOth. There is no collector ^et, and
from appearances will not be any before the
20ih, as we are told that Mr. Gore will not
take charge of the looks of that office until
the cxpeit appointed by the Governor has
concluded his examination. At present that
gentleman is now at work on tlio Auditor's
books, an I may not get through for some
days.
Isn't Union in a pretty fix ? Sixty-six per
cent of her taxes unpaid, the lawful time for
paying thera about to expire, and no man
authorized to receive them. But worse than
tint, we don't believe one-third of those who
lnvc not paid their taxes have the money or
can ra:sc it to pay them. To sum it all up, we
can saf?!y and reverently say, Union is in one
of Parson Brown'ow's fixes. Now, what
arc we go'ng to do about it ? Wc'l, we don't
know; but the prospect is that about onehalf
the county will be s dd f r taxes this
year.
veer While our respc tcd Represent Uive
and friend, Mr. J. W. Gregory, sets hinise f
right bifore the people under the heading of
"A C rrection," in which he politely gives
us a dig in the ribs, we claim the right to
"explain" why we alluded to him ns we did.
In the first place, we did not Ixso what we
said as to his being a candidate for the office
of Treasurer, upon anything wo read in
T!ir State. It was the town talk, days before
it appeal e 1 in 7'/ic State, that the delegation
had c include I, at the' first meeting held

hedid not a'lond ilie meeting at Jonesvill",
as a member of the delegation, wa considered
"h it a confirmation of tlio report, and
mentioned it in rpiite a complimentary spiri^
intending to mnkc the impr tsjion that Mr.
Gregory was too high-toned a gentieinin to
set in judgment upon his orvit application or
to al'ow his prercncs to intlueucc tlio vote*
of his legislative colleaguos in his fivor.
Krcrybodv ill lies town was under the tin
p.-os-iio ilia' Mr. Greg try win a candidate,
whether from li s o.vii application or that
of his friends.
Mr. Gore's Bond Accepted
Last Tuesday Mr. T. 11. Core, the ne.vly
appointed T>o?snrer, presented his l>ond of
SJO.O.'M) to the Board of County Comt/iisri jncra
for approva', which wts considered good
a d suilwi-nl, an l placed on file.
Mr G iro in'orinol us that as soon as pos- I
siblo after the Governor has been properly
notified t a' th.- bjnl has been a'cepted and
lie rrcc.ves his roiomission, he will enter upon
the dudes of his office, of which the peop'o
will ho duly notified.

Tuxing to balld Kailroads
We 'uvito attention t> the article undor
the head of, "We must liave tUc Lockhart
Railway and Cotton Factory "
While the nriio'e is specially a'dressed to
the voters of Jonesvilie ni.d i iuckuey townships,
it enunciates ihe soundest ?uutiments
of 'liit true public spirit and enterprise
which khon'd animate the people of all
pans of tbe county, as it shows the power of
unite 1 action to produce pub.io prosperity
from those grand %dvanUges and opportunitie)
which tho God of nature has laid at onr
feet aod invited us, the people, to utiiixo, by
our combiaed means and efforts.
The building of a railroad from Jonesvilie
to Lookhart Shoals will build a $500,000
cotton mill at the latter place, and the whir
o! il< spindles will arouse a responsive thrill
of progress through every business nnd
industrial artery in tho county.
It is a selfish spirit (bat would build its
own and the public prosperity upon the
.enterprise or cnpitil of a few individuals
without offering to do an honest citizen's
share to help it. The talk ab>ut the injustice
of t-rea'ing a tax debt to be paid hy
t lioso who come after us, evinces a "dog-in
the-n:anger spirit." f or the sane reas >r
wo might. object to spending money to improve
and cuhanco ihe valuo of the homestead
or any other proporty, bcc-uiso tlx
taxes on it w ill be increased, forgetting thsl
Mhcso who come after ua" au 1 inherit thi
property from t"? willr??MT* the run none
tit of the enhanced value.
Wc know of nothing that will so surelj
and wide'y contribute to tho wenlth ant
piosp?ri!yof the people of Union as railroad:
mid Cotton Fic ories, and we evre not when
in iliacoun'y they may bs Incite I, wc an
rca ly and willing to help build them in au;
way within our jo-vsr. There is one thing
however, we would call to the attentioi
of the people of the county, an ! that i?, "
divided people of any community are ncyc
prosperous or happy." We see that exetn
plifiel nt hone ail abroad, pirticulnrl;
in town*, cities and even public enterprises
Whenever you find a people united for tli
public gnol; a pcoplo who da not stop t
quibble anil ask whether an enterprise wi
I) nefit th's section or tint section, this inn
or that msn, more than other sections or pe<
p'c, but being assurod that it will contribul
ti the genesal welfnro, they go forwar
with fit in step nnd united effort, each puttin
t.s. ?i r..il,|pr ?. i the wheel nud doing h
honest pa t for (lie good of all. yoa wtlTfiTi
that people, that section, town or communil
growing in wcilth, in population, intel

For the a ike of our impoverished Count;
for the sake of the children now born, an
all who may come after thetp, aud for ll
prosperity of the psople of 1'incWncy au

J our rems'ka upon the disbursement of tl?o
| finances of the County hire been construod
inio ce s-.rlng the Coun'y C imniesioners
and accusing thou of unjust disoiiminatioo
and partiality in favor of ono creditor
over all others. We deny any suc'i intention
on our part;^?jhat wu*t no havo sud
can b) legtiinvcly oust rued into censuring
any one.
Wo merPiy^ook the (acts us they existed
and eave thoiu t > oar read; re, and if we
cen-urol any ono ft was tho law, if it confined
the Board to one souroo for help.
Will's we suggested that, under tho | resent
unusually tin i ig circumstances, it would bo
magnauini"us in tli4 Bank to forego, for a
time, tho exact.on of the letter of the terms
upon which its loan to ihe County was made,
? e did not censure the Commissioners for
making the loan or for tho terms upon which
it was made, nor did we blame the Bank for
exaciiug the terms ag'ce i upin when the
loan was male. I' wis "strictly busbies',"
and ? e regret to sey the somewhat uuoertain
condition of tl}e Coun'y treasury made
it necessary to bind* the Commissioners to
the strictest terms.
i
As ?o&a d before, the triusaction occurred
at a very unfortunate time for the County
and its creditors. -But tho Commissioner!
t could not avoid it. The loan was mad?
> especially for the payment of Jurors, Pta'c

of the Court, nl?oso ply, I if moai c* ?? #, nil

j It may well hi termed a forctd loan, foi
s Jurors and Witnesses are the forced attend
b ants at Court. Many of them live a long
distance from the Court House ; all of tbe.u
o ,
now-a-uays are poor men, or at any rati
too poor to loss that time from their own

then to be competed to share their claim 21
r or 30 per cent to get get money t-? settl^heii
bills, beeau'e I hero was no motley in the Iran
y surye
We rcpeit, we ctrtain'y harenb complain
p ngainit the Commissioners for making thi
o loan, or for pnyiug it nccrJing to the term
.. specified. The l 'On was for a commenlab'i
purpose, and,uo doubt, had the tax co'lec

i suppo c ororybody in Union County feels

think the time bus arrlrcd when tho different
Townships sh m'd look to their individual

to ilicit- own advancement and prosperity.
It is tveii kn >wn that the Townships of

by which tb?y feol sure, ifctrrieJ out, will

Everybody in these two Townships know
that on Tuesday the kOth inst. is the d y appointed
for the voters to record their votes
for or against subsiril ing $20,000 each to
the capi'nl stock of tho Lock hart Shoals llailway,

the most of tlint amount will cotao frrm

3 of Union to Virginia, West Virginia, Tear

uncertain investments iu the mushroom
towns of those States.
