Far Tub Timcs. The Colored Teacher's Institute. Mr.- Editor: The institute far the colored teacher* of Union county opened on the 14th and eloaed oa the 18th inst. It was conducted by Prof. C. C. Scott, of Spartanburg, and Miea M. L. Dees, of Charleston. There hare been held 4n this oounty fjf several iostitututee, but this one proved itself 1 I by far the best, for its philosophical and ' practical conclusions were founded upon the latest teaching methods. The instructions received has been a source of benefit to j our teachers, who have learned bow to 1 impart knowledge more clear and pointed. < Mirs Mary L. Deas, is one of the leading i teachers of Charleston, and fully understands < her business. In her leoluros she is pointed, j and her blackboard analyses are instructive < in every particular. She has left a lasting impression upon every one who chanoed to fall inooiitact with her. rrul. Scott is pleasant iu voice, but determined ia action. He is always on time, ono quality and essential that proves the v teacher. ' Our instltuto conductors have already ( , taught in four of the counties, thoy go to j Spartanburg and Laureos counties respectively. - ' If the UaoherB of the counties fail to bo ' benefited from the able efforts put forth, let them lay the blamo upon their own shoulders. Our teachers association was organized ] with the following roll of officers : Prcsi- i dent, C. II. Jones; Vice Presidents, J. 1). , Norrls, S. ? lteid, 13. Foster. Seoretary, B. J. Minis. Treasurer, Miss Ella Wallace. We hope that the trustees in caoli school i in our county will employ toacbers, members f the association, as these teachers have had the latest methods of teaching taught them? both theoretical and practical. - The following resolutions were adopted : We, the teachers, assembled in Union Courthouse, this, (ho 18th day of August, 1898, in a C /iiuty Teachers Institute, undsr 1 the efficient management of Prof. C. C. Scott, 1 and Miss Mary L. Dcas, and whereas, we I . the teachers, have been greatly benefited 1 I and desire to show our appreciation of the same. Therefore be it, Reiolved, That we bolievc this course of instruction to bo the best ever cxtonded to us, and we thank our worthy State Suporin^ tendent of Education for having appointed colored instructors for us, and hope on like ^^^^fe^^^^ions ho will do the same. ^^^^^^^^H^^j^^That we endeavor to put l'ie ih? received, who to lost benefit to them HH^^^HM^Wture work.^^V ^f^KKj^^^^Retolvtd, That wo regret the ending of . our pleasant relations, and look with eagerjr nets to the day when wo shall meet again ( / under similar ciroumstancss. | Ruolved, That we assure our able conducL tors that they have our thanks for tho pa" * Hence, tho earnestness, and the interest they have taken iqus and our work.

S?/>rnlnrw Obey tiis Dispensary Law.?Gool cititens should not encourage blind tigers, stationary or portable! Let us have one thing or the other ss the present Slate law contemplates?prohibition or a dispensary. We admire the courage and nerve and consistency cftho Spartanburg and Lnurons people who have refused to accept a dispensary. Let them stick to their position and nforce straight prohibition. No community . can afford to put itself in the position of being in league to violate a law, however bad it may be. Governor Tillman and some of his heelers and Agents have violated their own law shamefully and repeatedly by forcing dispensaries on communities whero the majority of freehold voters opposed them, but we can wait for the time and the awakening of the public conscience and sense of propriety to set all such things right and puni?h all such offenders. Meanwhile lot all good citizens obey the Iaws as they are patiently and loyally. As we understand it, there is really no ' excuse for violating the law. People who want liquor can order it from Georgia or North Carolina and have it delivered to them for their own use with o'eir consciences, because high judicial authority declares that they have the right to do so?that the section forbidding the delivery of such goods to purchasers is unconstitutional, null and void and therefore binding on no citizen.?Oreenville A'ews. That accords with our opinion exactly. ? We hopo the people of Uuion will stand squarely with our gooil neighbors, Spartaoburg and Laurens, and while declining to vote for a local dispensary, be firm in upholding and obeying the dispousnry law by aetirely and honestly opposing the unlaw} ftil sale whiskey in any way or under * any name. Union never was so quiet, so peaceable and so ordorly as she is now, and we bare neither a barroom, a dispensary or a blind tiger within iU corporate limits. Junua Lynch Holds Court in Arrevillb. ?Greenwood, August 21.?This morning, while Mr. William Munday, a respectable citizen of this community, was in town, a f vagaboud negro named Jake Davis assaulted Mrs. Munday, who is fifty years old, and would have aooompliehed his fiendish purpose but for the attack, of a fierco yard dog, which frightened him away, leaving his victim considerably bruised. A posse of cool yet determined men, both white and black, were soon scouring the country for him. and caught him at Ninetys Six this evening about 4 o'clock. Ho was immediately carried beforo Mrs. Munday, who readily and without a shadow of doubt identified bim. Several oolored women en the place testified to his presence there about the time the atsault was committed. There being no doubt of his guilt, he was quietly led to an open field near the house, bound to the trunk of a tree and shot to death. There was no mockery or tsunting on the part of the crowd. The opportunity was offarcd Davia to pray but he declined it. A more orderly execution could not have taken p'ace in a well drilled army. The men with tbo guns, somo negroes among mem, loruieu line mieeu psoci to irom *i the doomed ma?, and at the word "Fire!" a sineulUneoue volloy of bullets and buckshot went whizzing through his body. Ho died wiihout a struggle. Too much pnise cannot be given (o the oolored people, who manifested such an intense desire to have the wretch oaught and punished. The same negro oommlttcd an assault on a white woman in this community a few years ago, but as her character was questionable be was allowed to go unpunished.

JAY ATWOOD, '"v . ?, fif . " "The Punishment Fit the Crime."? Paducab, Ky., August 19.?Last Tuesday a nogro tramp went to the farm of Albert Horn and asked for food. Mrs. Horn was alone, and the tramp assaulted her. Her sc-eams brought her husband Norn the field, and the negro fled. Two posses started in Sursuit, and after a long chase shot him to eath.

The residents wore badly frightened and many of thorn left their homes very hurriedly with nothing but their night clothes an. Slight danrngo was done to a number jf houses but nobody was hurt. Queen Victoria Struck witii Paralysis. ?St. John, N. B. August 23.?Rev. L. Q. McNeal created considerable exoitement in ihe church tonight by announcing that a cable dispatch had qecn received to the effect that Queen Victoria lias been stricken with paralysis. No confirmation had been recoived up to midnight. The reople't Advocate, an out-and-out Tillmanite paper, published at Anderson, has the honesty to declare that it "does not believe a word" of the infamous charge in the Cotton riant, that Judge Hudson was paid for bis decisions in the dispensary cases. This example of fairness might be profitably followed by others of tho "Reform" press. ' ' ~ No Dispensary for Laurens.?Laurens, a mmiai oi ml . nu^uoi *?.? iuc county Doaru or control; at their meeting to-day, ruled that Langston'e potition did not hnYO a majority of freehold voters; and refused a dispensary. It is probable that the dispensary is a failure here. The desire of Governor Tillman to use tho palmetto for a trademark on his official whiskey-flasks docs not appear to bo appreciated at the patent office. The application of the Governor is a trifle novel and not a little humiliating. List of Letters. Remaining in the Postoffice at Union, for Lhe week ending August 25, 1893. Miss Adiline Steuey.
