Do not forget that tbo State Sunday School Convention meets here Tuesday the 4ih Sept. Let Union do her best to make the Convention a success. Mit. and Mrs. V. L. Crumpton, who have been boarding heretofore, have moved into Mr. Graut's new house on Virgin etreet, to go to housekeeping. Ocu young friend, C. M. Graham, of Newberry, has been olTurcd a good position in the cotton business at Houston, Texas, but doesn't know yet whether lie will accept. Wi: have just heard of the death of the aged and highly respected Mr. F. W. Kison, of Jonesville. He died last Sunday night and was buried Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock. The funeral service was conducted by Kcv. A. A. James. Mrs. Marik Oktzkl, is having a n'ce little Cottage built on South Street. Dy the way, South Stivci iias several new buimings, and maybe the repair of the side walk all the way down would be worthy of the consideration of the Council. Ali, Democratic Voters should have their names enrolled on the Democratic Club Hull of (heir respective Townships before tbe day of Election. Those of Union Township can have their names enrolled by calling ou 8. 8. Stokes, Scc'y pro loin. L?u. 1'orn, declares that he will make the ruu for (ioveruor before the people. says that ho is standing s<|iiarely uu the original Reform platform that he left the old Democratic party to get rid of rings and bossism and that the lust state is worse than the lirst. We hear that his card will be in the papers next week. Tiik delay in getting our paper put this week was caused by the coufusion attendant ou the repair work. All our machinery had to be removed und replaced und then cleaned elf. Wc thiuk now that wo have done well to get out this week's issue at all. One cousolatiou, wo will not have (o go through with it all again in some time. Tiik big excursion that pa*-ed here lust Wednesday had a good many aboard. There were two sections of the train. We saw.the lust one, but did not get to see the first. We learn that it was crowded. Both sections stopped here for dinner and were handsomely accommodated by Cipt. Gihbes. The ticket* are good until the 1st of September, so the excursiouits will come back at their leisure. We hear that sonic malicious rascal lias been doing mischief to Mr. Philip Lhinn, an uged citizen of our town. Mr. Duuu says that between bed time and day last Tuesday night his fence was let down and bogs turn ed into his corn field, his (lowers pulled up and put into his water bucket, and rocks aud planks and other things thrown into his well. Keep a sharp look out f >r the scamp nnd when you have found him don't fail to put (lie law to him. Tiik people of Union County know a good thing when they see it, we knew they Would. Twenty-five new subscribers have been ad ltd to our list this week. Our otlicc is being repaired and enlarged this week. It has been a great inconvenience and wo have had great difficulty in getting out the paper, hut when we get into a new and larger office, the convenience will more than repay us for our trouble. Now'a your time to Kuh-eribe if you are not already a subscriber. I ii r:n i. was a right good crowd of voters at It ice a ltridirc last Tuesday to witness the opening of I lie Campaign.

'ILcrO was ijuitc a lively debute among the Candidates for the Legislature over the proposed constitutional convention.

Tlie solici'ations to take d liner were very pressing from both .-ides and s?iue very forcible arguments Were ina le use of. There was a paper bting circulated for the candidates to sign lope Ice theiuselt es n >t to treut or u- any money during the Campaign for e'ect ioiieering purp >se?. We hear that nil vgind it except two, hut we have not heard and do not know who those two were. It wa.-> tift'.'i live > loi k when the meeting broke* Tnr County L'rnxocr&'io Kxecutife Committee had a meeting last Monday to hear from the election that had been ordered in Cross Keys township to determine who should be executive committeemen from that township. Tire report was to the effect that tho election was held last Thursday, and that the former election of Mr. L. J. llrown C. 1 Tl. ^ ?1 4 ! M.. nig vtua wuuunui'd. IIIV tuvuuu n .MI. Browning was again contested by a protest to which a good many names were signed. Mr. C. II. Poake was in the chair, and as there seemed to be a likelihood of some confusion, he proceeded in a formal way to try the caeo. The protest was first read. Mr. Brownings election was objected to on the ground of no notice having been given to the voters, and It was alleged that a good uinoy of Mr. Brownings friends had been notified, but that his opponents had tried to find out about the time that the election was to be held, but that they had not been able Several voters were intnjduced as witnesses, all of whom testified that they did not know beforehand when the election was going to be held. Then Mr. Browning stated his side. He said that on the evening of Monday the Oth, whou the election was ordered he went down town and wrote out the notices of the election to be held on Thursday and gave them to Mr. Betsill to post, and that he intended for them to be posted at once. That Mr. Betsill was preseut and could testify as to when lie had nested the notices. lie said that be ba<l refused to tell some one about tke election, but tbat he referred him to the notices. Mr. Betsilt stated that the notices were given him as testified by Mr. Browning, but that he had not been able to have them posted until Wednesday. He said that he had not been well, and that the wenthcr had been very hot or he would have posted them 6ooner. Mr. Browning and Mr. Betsill were crossquestioned some, and after that Mr. 1'oakc said he would allow both sides to present their views on the case. Mr. C. B. Bobo argued ou the one side that according to the evidence voters did not have time to hear about and get to the election. That Browning's friends had been notified and that t?i? oppoucnts had been kept in the dark, and he thought the election ought to be had over. Mr. Browning spoke for himself. He said that he did not understand it to be his duty as chairman of the club to ride over the country aud post the notices, that he had written the notices and handed them out to be posted aud that if they were not posted it was not his fault. Ho said that those who were protesting had no right to object as they were not in good standing in the club as Democrats. He said that according to a decision of Senator lrby, those who voted for Weaver in 18','li were not in good standing until they had renewed their pledges to the Democratic party, and that fifty-six of the names on the protest had voted for Weaver and had not renewed in the club. Some one on the other side then arose and said that according to a later ruling on tha puiut they were in good standing and had a perfect right to vote. Mr. I'eake, then procccdci to give the case to tho Committee. Mr. Drowning, ask cd that the protest be dismissed on the ground that the protesting parties were not iu good stauding according to Senator Irby's ruling. Mr. Peake refused to rule on that and said that it would not change the case, that if there were only a few names in good stauding on the protest he would have to recognize it, ami it was a<Juiit!e<l l>y all that souie of the names were in good standing. The Committee retired and iu a few minutes conic in with a decision ordering an election to be liel I at Cross Keys next Saturday at four o'clock. Mr. Drowning, appealed and was given three days in which to servo notice ofapp?tl, <>n motion it was decided that no "plumping he allowed for Representatives, aud that unless three names nre voted for the vote will not he counted for Representatives and the managers of election arc requested to meet at Union on Saturday the -o h to get boxes for the voting precincts. - # . Tiik Democratic Reform Primary was held in the Court House here last Saturday. llefore the meeting was callcl to order, the club list \v:n examined to see what names were enrolled. The meeting was culled to order l>y the Chiiinnau. Mr. C. II. I'eake, nt 10: :t0. lie stated that the object of the meeting was to elect delegates to the meeting to be held next Monday and also to tote for Governor and Lieut. Governor. The Chair, then asked whether it was the pleasure of the Convention to vote for the delegates first or for Governor. After some little debate it was decided to elect the delegates first. Mr. Nicholson: "Has an opportunity been-given those present whose names are not enrolled, to enroll ibeiiiselve*, now. Chair. "So, but we give that opportunity now. AH who are not enrolled can come forward and enroll now." The Chairman was about to announce thai the body would proceed to the election of deb-gate- when be was interrupted by Sheritl Long, wi'li a motion thai the election be put oil until eleven o'clock, lie said that though the time bat arrived, yet tin ro might lie some who bad n< t gotten in and some fee ing might be avoided, and no lia'iii done by waiting a lin e. \fter some short talks pro and con the Chair proposed to carry on both elections simultaneously with two b xis atil not lo close (lie e'ection until II l'?.

Governor J. S. Welch, County bt Chairman, called the Convent ion to order a a| little after eleven o'clock and proceeded to th business at once A committee on credent- pt in's was appointed, who immediately retired ni to exuuiine the passports of t he differeut ui delegates. After staying out a short while they returned with the report that they ot iciuii'i tin correct, out lutii me c.cction 01 w Mr. Sanford Wilburn, of Uogiusville. was nj contested, The contest seems to have arisen w out of the following facts : m Titers was some misunderstanding as to it the method of Toting for delegate at large, w The Township was eutitlcl to eight dele- ta gates and one delegate at large, making in dt all nino delegates. Some thought that the tli proper way was to vote for nine delegates di and that the mau who received the largest th number of votes would be delegate at largo th by virtue of his plurality. The election th proceeded thus for some time uutil a good aa many votes had been polled. Oa a closer be examination of the rules, however it was sc fouud that the delegate at large had to be he voted for specifically as such. Wheu this gl become known some of Mr. Wilburu's cc friends made up a ticket aud voted tor him et as delegate at large. According to the rules d< therefore. Mr. Wilburn, was declared elect- to ed. Those who voted in the first part of the th day said, however tbst it was a custom in m Uogausville, that all of the delegates should be voted for together, and the one with the f" highest vote should be delegate at large, that w they relying on that custom had voted, and to of course, could uot vote again, lleoce the n< contest. St The matter was proceeding to a heated at debate, when Mr. Nicholson moved to admit It Mr. Wilburn as a sileut member of the con- 01 vention in order to nip the disturbance in bt the bud. This motion was carried nnd the bt OiiiiTnntmn nrncpislptl l<i nthor lumimstt ill ( ?V V?-V. The next thing in order was the hearing at of the township reports.

It has been pending ? long and tho people have waited with ited breath si many times only to be disjointed that the almost daily reports that lc taritl bill will bo finally aclelupon toorrow.' had gotten to be a wolf story and ost people lnd lost all interost in the atter. It has been some time now since the iguial House bill, know as the Wilson Dill, as passed and sent to the Senate for its iproval. That body took the bill and orked on it several weeks with amendents and nasures, everyoue of which made more and more like the Republicans anted it. Our Democratic Senate has ken such a course in regard to the bill, has . layed and thwarted legislation to which ic parly has pledged itself and has acted so rectly contrary to the principles on which . ic party lias been building itself up for lirty years, that it has laid itself open to ; ie charge, openly made in Congress as well i all over our country, that the Senate hn<l strayed the Democratic party. The truth eius to be that most of our Senators are jnest and honorable and would have been ad to accept the Wilson bill just as it line from the House; but there were just lough traitors in the democratic ranks to jfcat the bill. Concessions had to be made these on one article after another until ic bill was actually mutilated into an instruent little better than the McKinley bill, or that little, however, tho democrats ugiit on. When the bill came back borne ith its free trade clothes all tattered and rn and half of them gone, the House was ot as good as tho father of the Prodigal n. It spurned the dirty low tariff sham ?(1 of course a conference had to be had. i tho conference tho House conferees held tt lor the Wilson Bill and the Senate momrs were 61111 for the Senate amendments :oausc as they alleged a bill without their ucndmeiits could not be passed in the Scue at all. Thus matters stood until the tier oart of hist w?cU wheu it s><?3 fouud at there was a scheme on foot in the mate to rcca'l the Seun'e conferees and il'eat the bill altogether. When that was scovcrcd and when it was known tbat the mate was actually about to proceed to the coinplishment of its nefarious purpose, the ouse promptly passed the bill with the mate amend licnts 011 the principle as eaker Crisp said, that half a loaf was bctr than 110 loaf. Immediately thereafter there were in- J oduced into the House and passed bills pro- 1 ding for free barbed wire, freo iron, free * gar. and free coal. These if, passed, gether with the bill above mentioned, will uouut to about the same as the origiual ilson bill. It is hardly probable howeverl t ut any of the last mentioned bills wil, ' ceive the approval of our present Senate. , 1 The Churoh Lectures. Our community hail a delightful treat last c eek, commencing Wednesday evening, in 1 series of lectures by Dr. G. L. Sweeny, of n jck Hill, on the pluming of Christianity m the British Isles ; tracing the fortunes of e church to the lime of Henry the VIII. j Those who took advantage of the lectures j ere highly entertained and fully repaid for i eir attendance. L?r. Sweeney s vindication of Ann Bolin C is logical, presenting her in a more favor- ? t'.c light than historians have done" Showg clearly that she was not responsible for t e divorce of Catharine. n L>r. .Sweeney is a brilliant man and haned his subject in a most logical way, con- \ ncing a'l who heard him that ho had ! astered the history of his church. s Dr. Sweeney will be followed by Kev.

L'lie result was: For Governor : Evans 1)2, Kilerbe o, and for Lieut. Governor, Timmerman 97. The Ilcforiu Club list in this (Gowdeysville) Township numbers 220, but a few names have iuadverteutly been enrolled who are not fully in sympathy with the movement, yet it is safe to say that there arc tt least 200 staunch Reformers in this Towndiip who arc dyed-in-the-wool Tillman men. C. L. N. Legg, Esq., has announced kim elf as a candidate for Trial Justice in this rownship. Several others will no doubt follow suit and a lively Campaign be the result. Let us all get ou the "Reform Kite'' tud your correspondent will hold the string. In consequence of the Campaign meetings u this and Drnytonville Township coming )n the same days that the Couuty S. S. Convention meets at Sileui we, with many >thcrs, will not be permitted to attend tlicui. IVc expect to have the largest and best lookng crowd with us at the Convention. Last Saturday while your correspondent was away from home a buggy with a gentleman and lady in it drove up to our house tud hollered "hello." Mrs. Vox of course, went to the door and just behind them was mother buggy, and another still beliiud that ind so on, Etch containing as much as John l'ollc9on used to say "two couple" in it?a toelle and a beau, "where's the Squire'/' :hey begau to ask. About that time the fifth buggy came in sight with Dr. \nd Miss in it. They, too, came up ind asked for the Squire. The sudden appearance of this caravan and so many inquiries for "the Squire," rather "flustra:ed" the old 'omin, aud she began to solve ihc mystery as best she could. She first thought to herself. "It won't do for re-euforcemcnts for ('oxer's Ariuy. His women ride oq horseback. "Again." she thought I somebody must be dead and thov are goi'-'g to the inquest or burial." "No, that won't Jo," said she, for doctors; never attend funerals, they generally render their service lo the patient before hand and hurry up work for somebody else. The old lady's sxcitemcnt was somewhat intensified by the lady in the fifth buggy saying: "Perhaps te ll be here as we return. And away hey went. It was about I'd o'clock m. and he thermometer stood at '.'0 degrees in the shade. Mrs. Vox who is somewhat of a philosopher, (or perhaps the more educational people would say "pliilosophress," although the did not display much tact in choosing a ausband for herself) began to soliloquize lomewhat in this way : Some one, or pcriaps more, if not nil of those parties are uuuiog away and want to gel married and isn't here to attend to his business. lie's oil' attending a Club Meeting with a lumber of other a.en who ought to be at lonie working for their families iustea I of loing so much Tillman, Dispensary, l'rinary, John Gary Kvaus, lVce silver, Clcveand and Keform talk. As good luck would have it our buggy irowd turned out to be a meeting of the lachelor's Association near Thomson's Mill ind a few sweet six'ecu s were going as inrited guests. Late that afternoon the party returned ust ahead of a thunder shower, all well deased with what they saw and heard durng the day. Mr. and Mrs. II. 15.

Everything about the church had been so safe for so long a time that it was considered unnecessary to take away any general contributions, and i*. was left in a tabic drawer until it was ret'y to he used, but this time it did not go the way it was intended. It is nyt known bow much was taken, for the amount had n^t been taken out to take to tho la'c convention for missions, but a special contribution taken for that purpose, and this bad been accumulating for several weeks Adjutant General Farley was in Santuc on mi iuspeciing tour, anil inspected the "Townsend KiHes, the new military coin |; i 11 > . ;ui'* i iLcmi IIIVIII luiu niv; oti vivvi *.? tlic Sst.ito. 111? made u very interesting little speech to tlicin, telling them their iluly lis soldiers, and also what they had to <lo to in ike it a -oicccss. lie to!.I them that he would not deal in tlattery, lint iv tuM oouiplimeiit them on the "material" there, an 1 ilia' lie knew that they were capable of hiving as goo 1 a company here nj there was anywhere, and that he was aware of the fiet that nearly every one was a son of an ex-confederate soldier.

The Reform club primary came off last Saturday, and all seemed to be in tho best of spirits, and very brotherly. Though of course they had their ftvoriio candidate for Governor. This box was carried for Geo. Eilerbe. Several ladies wcut from here on thtf excursion to Asheville on the Silt nud report a most pleasant time, making many who did not go ' wish I had gone." The Santuc Alliance had a very plensnnt meeting on the 11th and installed some of its officers. A pleasant time in the hall is reported. This is a small Alliance, but it holds its "head" too high to condescend to "indorse" a utan for any oflice, and is too loyal to condemu the Slate Alliance for its actions, whatever they are, and then try to publish it beforo tho world. Our crops uown here arc growing right along. If it rains much more wc can talk of cottou "bushes" for it is rank in many places. Corn is very good, and fodder pulling begun on some farms this week. Wc had a very bard ra:n and wind Saturday evening, but no hail, as was reported above here a few miles The Santuc Base ball team played the Whitmire team a milch game last Friday at the Hix place, and got badly "e'eaned up," but the boys are gauie, and arc not afraid to try them again. People here are preparing themselves to hear the candidates on the 18th at this place. It will not be long now until candidates wi 1 kuow their fate, and stop t'trembling in their shoes." Our country is comparatively healthy, but we have been having some sickness, but none serious or lingering except Mr. W. T. dones, who is very sick with fever, but is improving. Mrs. S. J. Fant is very sick with a very sore foot, caused from a mere scratch. Mr. C. 1*. Siuis went up to the U. S. court last week. Miss Yick Peak, of Glenn Fprings, is visitiug relatives in and around JSantuc. Our section of country is very quiet over the Dispensary, it is uot running "riot" over it, and no mail can carry this place swinging to the dispensary, although they will always go for enforciug the law when it is a law.

Ha was about 8*2 years of age and had been a man of strong convictions and great energy and of stout constitution, but misfortunes in life and ngc finally overcome all this and succumbed and is no more.
