A LIFE TO BE PKOUD OF. I C litiiKSS, April tl.?When tho tim? comes I lo >m initiate a candidate f -r congress front the Fourth L) it t riot the democrats of I?su- ^ renewiUdir.de. The candidacy tl' Jvssplt T. Johnson brings lutn, of coursi'. Into prominent notice, but distinct frwut that, Lit career has uu ntef'St and a lrsstn of its t own. Mr. J.dinson was born near lirevrerton in j lbs northwestern section of I.aurens county. , on tha 28th of February, iNob, and is there- j fore just turned thir-y-lour. In his infancy his father, a farmer in com. ! ' foM-ib!e c rcumstatices, ui J, mi l (ho small i es-ntv in lauds which he lof wa? iu somo i 1 way dissipaed. The boy with only ? j widowed mother to provide, whs forced for I the moat | art to make It is own way. In Its boyhood lie iitteudo I the country schools; ' aay two years and h half in all L. T. U. l>aniel, Thomas Tray lib ant and II. S. Shu- n mate wete his tctellers. When lie was 14 yea<s old hi* mother died and the satue year, j 1 ujoo the advice of n brother in-law. he set j out to gain it col cgiito education nud ma tricnlated ut Krskiue. He hadn't a dollar , hut he has been i.t work ail of his life and ! , felt that ho could go to college and make a I living t to During the first year of the c ?tir?e ho It id to depend on tltc labor of his hands to make expenses, cutting cord wo >d and picking cotton, among o'her thing?, in i vacation. One of his many expedients was 1 ] 1.itnling freight f<out the town of Donalds I into Due West in mi ox cart, which constitutcd his ctpilal stock in business. After j the voting student Ita 1 gained tho sopho- I ' more class, an easier time dawned an t be I managed to make ends meet by acllidg books I , and teaching school be ween sessions. Tho ! r??coril? of Krskine will show liis high landing iu scholarship, mid tho pic-ident and , professors wid tes ify (o the high esteem in which lie wos JieUl. ' The week following grndturion in Juno, li 187U, he opened a school at Hodge's whore he tniight for a year mid a half. During the summer mention of 1880 he look tho , census of Cokesbury township, doing the necessary traveling on foot. That was the s nearest to any political office that he has h yet held. In September, 1880, he entered Vanderbilt University and remained there eight months studying 1 <g'c and modern t languages So much for a youth in which p liar-l and constant mnnnal aiul intellectual () toil combine I to make a man. j ~ Leaving Vanderbilt, Johnson commenced i ?' the study of law at Luirons under Cul. J. I W. I'ergusou, and was admitted in 1882. lie i was successful as a lawyer from the begin- j ning. The public victuals in Laurens, Abbe- ' villo. tircciivil e and other couniies will | ' prove I hat the firm of J .linsnn A- !!;/ !??? i>?= < - - ? ?J ??' enjoyed a practice which will compare , favorably with any in llio up country. 11s ^ services'on the part of creditors in the Ms alignment litig it ion, for instance, arc well , known lo tlio renders of the /J<iil</ A* in i Wliilo Mr. Johnston Ins never before A been n candidate, or even active in politic*, j close and critical study have made him a j 'specialist" in qucstims of nntiotinl politics, i On the silver and tar ill' questions he has I P informed himsolf thoiougli'y. lie favors [ the free and unlimited coinage of silver and is a tariff nformev in the sulci dcmocratc ! p sense.

Which decision made Spurtinburg very ntigy, and they left the Hold, put on their era's, and went to the hotel. Mr. K. Kicln ls >n, captain of the Union nine, give Mr. Thomas, Captain of tho Spartanburg nine, 25 minute) to got his men back, and the gamo would be c ncludcd. Mr. Thomas 'oft f-r the hotel, aud while he was g< ne tbe umpire c?l'od tbo game 9 to 0 in faTor of Union?the 25 minuto* being out. Mr. Thomas, in a few minutes after the game had been called, returned with his | men ready to play hall, but tlio game had been called, and Union would not cmtioue the game. Spartanburg then made Union an oficr to let the partly played ganre be thrown out aud start a new game. But Union claimed that Spartanburg had forfeited the game, and would not accept. We regret very much the unpleacantues", aud hope that no iil feeling will exbt betwocn the two c'.ubs. Union certainly bears none toward Spartanburg. -w Stenography. ?We have been requested to annouuoo that a young man of our town is now in correspondence with a teacher of shorthand in Augusta, (la., who ia anxious to come to Union and or gnuize a class in Stenography, and teach three months.
