Wi: have just heard of the sad death of Mi?s I'dlu tiaruer, of Pinckney. She died last Tuesday nnd wa- buried on Wednesday at Ivelton. She was fifteen years old and was the very picture of health when she was here at Union only a short while ago. Soon after she left here she was stricken with n fever which took only two weeks to accomplish its fatal work. Tin: TtMis extends its sympathy to the Stricken parents nnd brothers and si-ters. Tin: Ui*ponsury business here i> improving When it opened the business was dull for about a week, but it has been getting better all along from week to week and we learn that the trade this week has been good.

To those we would say that the contractor who did the work on our office told us that lie would not keep us out but one day. We, relying on that, fully expected to bavc the paper out as usual. It took longer however than we had been led to expect it would. The oflicc was lorn up 6ve or six days instead of one. We do not blame the workmen. They have done very well, but you see how it was that the paper was delayed. . l.iKNEn.m, Farley has withdrawn from the Congressional race. In his card which occupies over two page* in the last Sunday's dailies, he philosophizes at sotue length on the state of politics and gives some interesting history as well, lie says that lie is a ruormcr anu will always be. but that lie will uot work with the ring that now holds tlie political reins. Says that Senator 1 rby has betrayed the Reform parly, played a "loo Ico" on Governor Tillman, ami fixed up the "slate" to suit himself. The card contains some severe criticism of Tillman in the form of very bitter irony, and openly denounces Irby, Wilson and Gautt cl id ;mn>. Hut he says that it's a mighty good thing to wait upou the Lord, and he i- going to lo it. ? - . _ I'ltoi. II. L. .Si\in: prominent among the younger citizens of our town has recently beeu granted an honorable discharge from his obligations to the State as a beneficiary of the South Carolina Military Academy. Tho State cxpec's all of the beneficiaries to teach two years in the State. This is compulsory provided schools are oll'ered. Mr. Scaife graduated with distinction two years ago and lias been teaching since, the first year at Hock Ilill and the next at Laurens as Superintendent of the Graded School at that place. Mr. Scaifc has gained that esteem from those among whom lie has labored, which purity of life, and education, always command when tempered with good judgement. Tub war between Japan and China shows no signs of abatement, llach country has borrowed largely for the expense of carrying on the war and the zeal on both sides seems to be about equal. Heavy skirmishing has been going on of la'e but there has been no decisive action as yet. It is quite probable that Wci-Ilci-Wci the Gibralta of China which has been considered irupregnible by the Chinese, will be attacked hv llir .Imiancsc .Linanose <m n hnuK l.nvi> surprised the Chinese very much by pa?siog the torpedoes and reeonnoirtering the position and then getting oil in safely. It is thought that an attack will lc made both by laud and sea. No one can foretell the result of such an attack. JtuuK Aunti' ii in tlie Aiken l 'ptor cases that came before him recently ruled that the dispensary law was unconstitutional, in doing so he did not commit himself as to his personal opinion, but decided the case in accordance with the ruling of the Supreme 1 Court in regard to the act of lKr_\ Ho said that the acts were substantially alike and 1 that if one was unconstitut onal tiie other 1 must to.

The primary object of ti e law is ti t the a protection of the ^tivug but the weak. So j laws oro not n;n le to restrain the well ilia- c posed and worthy citi/cn but the evil dis- j pored an 1 vicious. A law which favors the i strong or the vicious aga'nst the wcik or t he we't disposeu n mote suited to the bar- t barous boronics of the middle ages than to t 'I- Illil. i ......... : Ull c? ' v 'I I ?/tu VVUUII J UVUJVV.I ?l%? VI ? ilie new worl?l. Further, a law which is f uut executed aud was not iutcn lei to be o executed when euac'el is a disgrace to a t statute book. ? There is, we believe, on the statute books i of imuth Carolina a liw against carrying concealed weapons. The concea'c 1 weapons are enumerated and a penalty is attached to , the violation of the law. The law reads like it would he wholesome Surely it would not he a good thing to allow every person who might he able, to carry pistols, loaded eanos and bowie knives to be used on every occasion of provocation, to take human life. For some men that would he almost n leading them into temptation to shed blood. The penalty also seems to have been wisely selected. A person is not sent 11 the Slate pri-<>u for violating the law, but most people would prefer to forego the luxury of a pistol rather than pay the hue or go to jail for a short time. That all looks very lair, but yet this very statute operates for the benefit of the vicious agiinst the we I di.-posed. There are a great many men who try to obey the law not because of the penahy attached hut because it i- law. The world has repudiated Ju-tice U'aekstouc's doctrine that a penal statute may he broken wi ll impunity, provided we are willing to run the risk of being found out and made to pay the penalty. Those mm who respect the law because it i- law will not violate it j until compelled to do so in self defence, until they liu 1 that the law is not capable of sustaining itself. Ou the other iiaud there are a great uiauy good men who never think of the 'aw but ouly cousuit their own desires, if these lead tlieni to break the law, tlicy of course try to make the best they can out of tiic matter by not being caught. Then there are those who defy and disregard the law. Practically these two last stand in the same shoes in the eye of the law. They arc law breakeis. Now it is not hard to see that ii>?? statute operates hi tavor ot me won uispose<t ' provided it i- enforced. 1 >ut suppose it is ' not enforced Then it is .just as easy to see , that it operates in favor of tliclaw breakers. i The time lias not yet come when nations ' settle their d.llieultics by arbitration. The . time lias not come imr wi 1 it ever conic j when individuals will always settle their \ dillercncea by arbitration. As long ns there are human l ?ves an I passions so Ions will ' the oM fishion-'l tight last unless wo degenerate into a race of coward*. In all such contests under our present law the way it operates, the man who ignores the law lias the use of Ins weapon while the other stands < before liiiu unarmed and helpless to be t hewn down with a knife or bored through t wi'h a bullet The respectors of the law t have taken in the situation however it see i s t and ituw there i- no telling who lias one or t two rev dvers ahuut hi- person. We see two u of the most peaceable and law-abiding eiii- <1 lens, pet Imps i lie wry ones who he'p to ti make the law, get into a difficulty an 1 the v very first tiling each ones does is to whip 1 aut agio it long gun and gi to shooting. And d nobody is surprised. 1: is so c uiimon tliat "J it doe- not even eiicit astoiiisliniont.

AVheu the turnips itre large enough thin out with a hoe, then in about ten days run nroutul with a small plow, drilling a few oats with the hand and break out middle with one furrow, and you will have two rows of oats to each row of turnips. The oats and turnips seem to mutually protect each other. Besides the turnips I used ou my farm I sold *11 tH) worth and threshed 38 bushels of oa's from a little more than one acre. I hope this little bit of my experience may benefit some other farmer or may bo the means of getting the observation of some other farmer in any deparment of farm work. N. G. Litti.kjoiin. Etta Juuo.

HO.?Last Wednesday about uoou <|uitc a storm of rain, wind and thnudcr passed over this section only to be followed by oue a little before dark with a heavier rain fa'l and fiercer wind which did considerable damage to the corn crop especially, breaking it off and blowing it down aud tangling it about. The fodder that was ripe was literally riddled by the wind. Uur old frieti 1 Mr. At Horn thinks lie gathered up 1"> bushels of damaged or broken down corn, off oue acre of his crop. There hasn't becu such a crop of vegetation of different kiuds, on the ground in l'J years as there is now. A mau with a grass scythe cau make good wages almost ?:.ywhere making hay. Uncle A7. says tow is the time to top cotton.?just after the full moon?this advice, I fear, will not reach most of our readers uutil it too late for this season. However, we advise our farmer friends to try it if they cau get it done before the moon changes again. While we are not disposed to put much firth iu this "moon business," we aro less inclined to dispute the teaching of Genesis 1:11. Our friend. Mr. l\ S. Webber is the best fixed country Smith in our knowing. He has all the latest improved and best style of implements fur doing any kind of work in bis line.

Iu our trial justice's court receutly the matter of carrying pistols has been passed upon under such ruling aud circumstances as may eventually draw out the circuit ana perhaps the supreme court ou the same matter. Tho case in question was ouc fur carrying a pistol (not concealed i in places of pubiic gatherings in which womcu and children formed part of the congregation, greatly to the atiuoyunce of the former. The trial justice ruled, that "Section 2,CIO of the revised statutes provides that trial justices shall look after aud properly punish affrayers, rioters, disturbers and breaker's of the peace, and ail who go around offensively to the terror of the people, etc., and that "no person has a right to make a walking arsenal of himself an 1 intrude himself into or upon the society of peaceful citi/.eus (among whom are ladies and children) ns-eui! led for the purpose of public worship or any other lawful or respect tide purpose.

There were m issues to be discussed regarding any of the other offices, except that of l'robato Judge, and that may be the qualification quct' on of Lawyer or no Lawyer. Of course the Lawyer candidates Gage and Gee embraced the idea, and pictured it real, that a Lawyer was necessary, from the nature, and name of the office, but the two farmer candidates Sartor aud Greer thought otherwise, claiming that it was not necessary to hare a lawyer, and that if they should have legal advice, aud pay their money for it, it was nobody's business. All talked strongly for their profession or occupation, iu rcgainl to holding the office, and "sparred" each other a little, but good ttaturedty. A noticeable absence of harshness, nud hard unpleasant cuts, that so often characterize a political campaign, prevailed, and all seemed in a spirit to "Do unto others, as 1 wou'd have them do unto uie," and despite tho rain, it was a pleasant meeting. It faire 1 otl" in the evening, ho'-vevcr, and all had a fine evening to go hotue in. Myself arid a brothtr were over at Hebron last Wednesday and Thursday, while a protracted meeting was iu progress, nud enjoyed throe nice sermons by the pastor, Kev. J.N. Booth.
