Owing to the meat Importance of
the matters that will come before
the July meeting of the state Union,
it was decided by a conference of
leaders of the Union that the largest
possible attendance should be secur?
ed by holding same at B more cen?

grettlng that We have to ask Char?

that tinder and by virtue of the au?
thority given the President of the
State Union In Article XX. Sei tion 1
of the Constitution, the annual meet?
ing will be held In Columbia in the
Hall of the House of Representatives
on the 4th Wednesday in July, being

time to be so enrolled. It is the
earnest desire of the officers of the
State Union that every county be
represented by its most patriotic
Union men, for tin- matters that we
must consider will mean more to the
history of the I nioti and the State, if
Settled right, than anything we l ave
