The press association spent a cou ple hours in the thriving and progres sive city of Union on last Thursday afternoon. The Chamber of Com merce and the mayor and other citi zens united to extend the invitation and provided a special train to bring the association from White Stone to Union and return. We were driveii over the city and given every atten tion. This is mentioned to c,ommend the spirit of progressiveness which actuates the young business men of this city. Anything that will promote the general welfare of the city ha their united support. As a result of this spirit of united effort Union has grown from a small village of ten years ago. as some one remarked that seem-d completed, to a thriving and prosperous city of some 8.ooo or io.ooo souls. with large and prosperous mills on every side. They are now building a railroad which will connect the Seaboard and the Atlantic Coast Line with the city. It is this broad spirit which gives vitality to a community in its com mercial interests. The Columbia Record thinks that the matter of biennial sessions should be brought to the attention of the people. It has been mentioned in this county. Personally we do not be lieve there will be any great amount of saving in biennial sessions. As one of the representatives from Newberry county we voted for the amendment to be submitted to the people because we believed .the people of Newberry county wanted to vote on the ques tion and that they really favored bi ennial sessions. MEAT PACKERS' STRIKE. Second Week Began With No Pros pects of a Settlement in Sight. Chicago, July i8.-The prices of meat will reach the highest point in a few days and then will decline until they come back to normal in ten days. This is the prediction of the pack ers' as to the effect of the strike of the butchers on the retail markets. At the same time the men controlling the ,neat industry declare that there will be no real meaf famine or any thing approaching it.. The retail dealers are expected to advance the rate of straight beef half a cent a pound. making a tot-l of four and one-half cents since the butchers walked out. The stock handlers at the yards were to have refused to handle any cattle for the packers after six o'clock this morning. The order. howvever, has been countermanded. pending the result of a meeting of all the unions at the yards not now connected with the strike. This meeting will be held this morning. Chicago. July 18.--The second week of the great packing hotuse strike opened this morning with all conditions unfavorable to a peaceful settlement of the differences between the employers and the employees, with added grievancs and with determi nation expressed on both sides. Failing in the conference betwveen the packers and Donnelly on Satur day afternoon, the situation resolves itself todlay apparently into a long continued and hitter struggle A hundred non-uni' n men were brotught imo.

Iow Dead Mayor of Toledo Got His Queer Name. The mayor of Toledo who died re ently was christened Samuel Milton ones. but "Golden Rule" Jones was he name by which Americans have nown him since his first night for oitical office. To his friends he was !ain "Sam" Jones. His title of "Go! len Rule" was given to him in his :ampait tot' election to the mayor Ltty of Toledo in 1897 when he advo ated the adoption by business men ad politicians of the principle of the olden Rule in their affairs. Samuel M. Jones was the son ot taturalized American parents. He vas born on Augtust 3. 1846. near eddlaler-t. WVales. 1H!is parents were >or farm hands. and when he was nl three years ccf age they emigrat -d to this cotuntry. At the age cor -ight een lie went to the c iltieids at itusville. Penn.. when the oil-pro lucing industry was in its infancy. Focr a few years Mr-. Jones worked n tht fields. living onf almost notih ng and saving enocugh to finally es ablish himself as ie producer. The nachiery then in use was very :rude. Jones set about inventing im rovements and in 1893 hc. turned out le AXcme Sucker Rod. Several man ifacturers to whom he sent models cfhis invention refused tc make it r himf. 5co he~ rem'c ved i 1., Tled. .here he establishedl hij' .n tact i-v. 1Ia T, i:dc he fco'nc! lab circ cndi maiy e nitec tc bc: :2e i~ Ih erning tih.e wvages c iur etbh ment." He lived up to his principle-. and beside payin his emploves as good wages as he could. he in less than 3 months ago gave them stock in the Golden Rule Trust. as his company is now called to the value of Sto.ooo. in givin- t to them he said: "lou inay o with it exactly as ywu pl-ase.
