r-L KE U 1ST 101ST TIJVLES ?! ? The ruuiing of excursion trains id gettin to be quite a business. l'rirate individual hare almost taken tlio local excursions out c the hands of the rail roid companies by chat tering the trains and assuming the risk to the profit. We have 110 doubt but the rai roads are more than pleased with this ar range meat. Union has already had tw excursions to Asbeville, one white and 011 colored and on the 10th Sept. there will bt another colored excursion from this place tc Charlotte, N. C. Mr. Arthur W. Uracil la the white excursion from here ta Ashavili and made quite a success of it. lie has aaether excurriou on baud now. It will run from Hlacksburg to Asbeville on tlio drd Sep and retain on the lilt. "Much Ado About Nothing"' is the iVrif ami Courier'* happy Caplio for the accouu of the police squabole at Columbia. A po liftman gets a little (00 smart and acts in solcutlr towards his superior otliocr and get uspaaded for it. The policeman, who pre fosses to stand in wiili the State aulhoritias ruua to the Uovernor with his tale. Tin uovoruor teiepuoues someuuug or otucr 10 somebody aad the affair gets ialo the paper: aad"heie it goes." And now the city ant state authorises seem to he al loggerheads aud we hear talk of Metropu itan police. Am all about what? Noiintig but the iosolenci of a subordinate police otficsr. It's true tin Columbia Club was raided, but that ha: nothing to do with this affair. "Much Ad> About lioihing." >Vc have no special love for the Rej ubli lican patty, but we ciiuuot but admire theii splendid party machinery and their candoi in making up their platforms. We admire the language of their platform just adoptee iu l'ouueylvauia, on the linance question though we are not iu sympathy with the policy they advocate. We believe iu bi- mo - ......... ? a 1? ft-- ......... rather see our party come out unequivocally for the single gold standard than to hav? scat before the people a platform which hal of ua can interpret one way, and the othei half another. We roust work for good goverument, though the graud o'.d Democratic party, that has always been tho party ol the people. But we must be candid witb oueauolher, or a loss of conlidence, aud disruption aud defeat will most surely be tiro result. There was iu town this week a represent _ alive of a collection agency whose method! aro quite unique. They depend not so much on the strong nrm of the law, but on the process of worryiug, and on pahlic sentiment a gainst fraudulent debtors. When an account is piaoed iu their hands they have a scries 01 letters which they send to (he debtor, commencing with an appeal, then au argue' tent, and finally a threat. If the letters dc not bring the money they proceed to advertise the parties as being unworthy of credit. With each account they require a deposit kf Alivllt l>*RN t., ..V rv...It. .,1 dition to that a IVe it ?10.00 a year is chargel lor their services, aud is taken out of iIn Srst collecti its. It looks t<- its like tliey gel tit ; lion a share but perhn,s tliey have to allow a big margin I >r the claims that even their method* are not able to make good Mcst people in tins country pay it tliej cm. 'ihero are c\c- ptious of course aui three exceptions are the material that thi collection agency can a* rk to a-lvamago. - ? - When a town is forging ahead, many enlorpriies arc taken tip, which, while they mvy not start the hall rolling, materially as li->t in its progress alter it hus begun. Such ao enterprise is (lie Union Real list ale .Agency, which was recently incorporntec by Messrs 1\ M. Cohon, Win. A. Nicholson, (jeo. Munro ami llni.s.ie Nicholson, to do i general real estate business, to negotiate leans, to buy an I sell tdotrks and Ion Is. This company. though being recently es~ tablishcd, has gone to work with the determination to rai-e the low values to whicl our lands have fallen. to in,ike onr advantag et, known to the outside world, to briii] here a class of people who will helj> a'l th canity alike. It is their purpose to establish on agency, it central point, to whicl both the buyer and seller ma, come and obtain or dispose ->f that which h< pleases. All of their cllortx have not result cd in idle talk, for already they have sob sovoral pieces ol property, notable ainoiuj which is a two story store building on inai strert, two hints < I' land 100 acres cno! one five miles south, the other live n? ile north of the town, ami sonic other deals Some slocks too have considerably advanco in price us a direct r&sult of this Agcnc, otlVring to bay them. Another distinc feature ia the renting of property, the having .a huge iiinuiier of M >res mid dwe lings mi their list, and for the owner the taku entire charge of collecting rent an looking after the property for a sinal Commission. Their charges arc exceedingly modcrah and what is tairer sli'l when property is pn in their hands f< r sale tlify do not imik any charge if they fail to make a sale. The arc particularly desirous that all pnrlie .having lands to list should huud them io t ! 6 i 5 Mr. P. Cohen, Pres- and Mgr., befc Sept. 6th at they contemplate getting up S a neat little catalogue of name to be distribut * at tbc Atlanta Exposition. 11 We heaitily commend them to tbo having property for sale or rest. r _ '' Official CountAs we went to press last week one of th 0 boxes, Timber Ridge had not been hea: e from. We gave the vote in all the oth j townships. There were two townships ri ) period incorrectly on the table that wo usci u as a copy, .1 onesvilie and Sarratts. T1 c vote in Joiicsville stood thus; Pcakc, 111 Douglas. I 'Jo; Otts, 72; Nicholson, 7 1 Wallace, 121; Littlejohn, 121. t The vote at Timber Kidge was as follow Pcake, 106; Douglas, 106; Otts, 66; N'icho son, 66; Wallace, 49; Littlejohn, 49. t The total vote polled iu the ooanty w; t 2647, divided among tke candidates as fol * lows: Peake, 26116; Douglas, 2499: Oil 1468; Nicholson, 1621; Wallace, 107 * LiUlsjohn, 1076- Jeter, 3. It will be re membered that Mr. Jeter announced befoi , the election that he would not bo a caud 0 date. There were a few aoatteriug vote: Union township pelted the largest vote, -IS? s and after her caine Suntno with 2%. T1 1 smallest vote was polled at Colerain, T a T hey voted solidly for the primary ticke 1 It was the only boxihat went solid either wr; s Carlisle gave the biggisl vote against tl t primary ticket, Oils getting only 2, at 3 Kicholson 40, out of n total of 20b. > . One Sin another doth provokeThe modern prize lights are little if an better than the aucient gladiatorial show 1 These have been so feebly opposed that tl 'sports ' have net despaired of iutroducin ' bull fights inte the Uuited States. So far i ' we know the bull fight at Cripple Creek. Co on the 2oth insl is the first real Spaniih bu ' fight ever pulled off withiu our borders. W hope it will be the last. Twe bulls wei ' slaughtered in ike preseuce of 6 000 peop by the professional Mexican bull fighter 1 We are glad however that the dispute ' goes on to any that the spectacle was in r enjoyed much by tbc spectators, the disgus iug brutality of dabbing to death animu : ordinarily iiarmlesa dot rendered furious b the steel darts and the goads of the picadot 1 being contrary to the American ideas ofjui tice and fair play. It is said that tli large crowd was altraoted more by the prol ability of witneeciug a ditliculty buiweuu tli authorities and the bull fighters than by tli hope of witnessing the bull fight. Now that American, thoroughly, and we bc'ievecver word of it. The bull fighters were arrcstci but gave bond. Is anyone astonished t this bull fight iu Colorado? Well the ought not to be. The Mexican village of Ih , Atlanta Imposition which has a largo cor cession within the Exposition grounds, hi , as a part of the program, a regular Spin ( ?>h bullfight. The arena is almost tinishet and the hulls are ready for shipment. Spanish bull fighter a graduate of ih bull-fighting tcliool of Seville was unengaged to fight. llut (lie matter was bringing iho Expos . tion into such disagreeable notoriety tli [ the authorities had to declare the fight o and exclude it from the ground*. We w joieo that the South has been saved from 11. disgrace of a bull light at her great Hxpo*i tiou. Tics. Collier speaking of the mailt, j says thai the authorities had been told tin s tlm light would be nothing more than an ai tempted reproduction of the Mexican bu fight, without cruelty to animals, hut th on invcMigaiiou ne iouna mar 11 would I impossible to give such a represeutatic without cruelly to anitnals. Why, certain], we have never seen a bull fight, but we in agtnc that a bull fight without cruelty won be much like a com c lecture without at ' fun. 1 Wc are glad that the fight has been exclu 1 oil l'roiu the exposition grounds and ill there will be not even a semblance of sin an inhuman exhibition; and hope that tl bull lighters who exhibited in Colorado w be so dealt with as to utterly confound r 1 spuipathi/.ers with such a cruel sport.
