Sartor requests us to return thanks (or hint 19 the kind friends who helped him get his property from his burning house last Monday night. . . Read about Union's Big Bast Ball Tournament next week and be sure to attend if you can. Everybody enjoys a gome>of base oall. It is exciting and interesting from be? ginning to end. Come and holler for your friends. We have not heard from all the counties in lllh itnl a hilt (ha ral II I*nu a a fit n tea r _ rant a large majority for the reformers in the convention. There seems to have been a atriet party Tate in every County where there was an independent ticket in the field A compromise ticket was elected in ser eral counties where a division win agreed on before the primary. Everything was very quiet hero on election day. The voting was done very quietly and there was no drinking or cursing about the polls.. There was *ouiw Kicking oy both conservatives and reformers for not being allowed to vote. A good many of the old Comer registration tickeie were presumed buL were rrjecled. Some were rejected loo, ou aoeount ef the ticket number and tho uutu Dfr on tne ooott not c orrespouaiug. lo make the ticket valid the law require* that its number shall tally witti the number on the registration book. The time, for the Convention is near at hand now. Within a few weeks the dele gates will be down at the capital rack iug their brains and seralching their heads over a question that has been both# ring th? American people fer over fifty yeurs. "What ahall we do with the nigger?" It is a very grave cyiesiion, and very difficult- Its wise and preper eolutioa may mean a great deal o Our state. It will bo in the hands of able men aid their deliberations on it and heir disposition of it, will be read with in-' j ercst not only in South Carolina but all over the United Itates ?? j ^ { nan in* lecturer, iroiii ihow iont whs m towq this week. He gave a free lecture in the oeurt house Monday evening to about fifty or aixty people assembled on the spur fh^ paempnt. TJiose wlp > hpatdw tpm through were mnch pleased^ ?6ta? fidn'L catch on to what he was driving at and left before he had finished. He lectured in the eourl house Monday night. Wednesday night be lectured in the court house for the benefit of the Johnson Rifles Military Com pany, his subject Happy Homes. There were thirty or forty out te hear him. Ha is a comic lecturer and a moral teacher, using his wit and humor to impress his points. The Clerk of the Court received this week the two sets of Amtritan Ctn*ti\ution? allotted to Union County lor distribution among delegates to the Constitutional Convention. There arc two volumes ir^rach set and the work conluu.s the Constitutions ofall the states in the Union. The supply bill for the Convention directed the state librarian to purchase eighty copies of the work and distribute them among the members of the convention. The books do not become the property of Iho delegates but must be returned to the state librarian after the convention. After distributing some of tlieni among the various Colleges and public libraries in the state the remainder will be sol 1. The work contains much valuable informal ion especially for men meking a new Constitution. Matters at Cflemson College arc in somewhat of a tangle and the institution is not doiogas well as was hoped. There's a hitch soniewhire but if it has been looted it has not been given to the pub ic. Tins meeting oi ihe trustees several days ago was a stormy oue an<i led to the publication of au article in the S(n(e in which it was charged that the progress of the Institution was impeded by I'res. Craighead, the trouble wi h him being either incomptency, or unfitness tor the position Some o< the boys got bold of jlie arlic'e and wrot?a spirited and indig neni reply to it, defending their President There is undoubtedly something wrong. The president uud teachers are not working harmoniously. It is au evil too, tint ought to be corrected and corrected at once. Public servants have no right to allow personal differences to come in the way of the performance of public duties. The state pays its niouey for service and is entitled to faithful harmonious work. If it cannot get it with the present officers and teachers, an investigation should be made, and that due, or those who are causing the trouble should be removed and others put in their places wbo will think move about the performance of ihoir public duiies than the advancement of their private opinions. Dr. H. K. Smith and family returued home Wednesday. i Werk on the excetvationa for the foundaiiot of the new Cotion Mill was hindered a da; or ao ihia week on account of the rains. Th< continuous heavy bleating, htwever, reminds us that the work of getting out rock goea ox ateudiiy. They ara getting the rock from t quarry juat above the mill, between the mill and the railroad. The'brick.for ^ the new factory are beinj t ansferred from Rodger ijCo'e brick yart ou a car runs on a track'laid for ' th? purpose from the brick yard to the mill eite; -The car is drawn by a horae and carriei over a two horse load at aach trip. In Lha last year or two the men have stop ped talking so mucl^fabout what the womei ought to do, and what tbey ought not to do Tho new woman.has doubtless bed a greal deal to do with this. She baa'just decided to do as she pleases regardless of whafwt may say or do and it did not take ue long to find out her determination. When sht decided that^she would like toTide a bicyolt nIis illlt'ffnt nn nnH vnHa .evav 1 HAtinii o-- ? we said it 'wu undignified,**and tliit, that, and the other; but she juat kept on riding and we shut up and looked on. Then ehi decided that she could manage her wheel better in b.corners. Bloomers! Nfy graeioui they are paots with just a little modification. We stood aghast, half aiteuished half angry She was encroaching on our territory, appropriating our clothes. We protested we threatened, but with a sweet smile she slipped the garment on and rode away, and didn't ereu take the trouble to close our astonished mouths. And again when wa couldn't do anything else we were wise enough to ahut up, aud look on. And (isn't it strange?) after a year or two we hare ceased to be astonished, aud we wonder what it was about bicyole riding that we considered so undignified. We wonder if that mongrel garment, the bloomers, will find its way South and whether after staring after thorn with open mouths for two ar three months we will flnal'y become used to them, and wonder how auyone could ever have been so stupid as to write long aiW scathing articles, or preach fiery sermons, against the unoffending garment. And now they want to rets. They have obtained that right in several States and are proceeding on their own plans to get it in South Carolina. We de not belisre that a majority of the ladies of South Carolina want to. vote. In fact we believe they would be opposed to having such a burden thrust upon them, But if the fair lobbyists can convince the convention that a considerable majority of the ladies desire the privilege we would not be surprised if it is grnated lU^eusi in s measure.
