THE UNION TIMES. ~
Supervisor Scott publishes an important
notice this week in regard to the Road
I,aw. lie gives Notice that the highway
will be made twenty feet wide, and
that people must not plow nearer ?than
ten feet to the middle of the road.
It is a timely notice, but in many
pluces it would be hard to lind the middle.
It would indeed be hard to tell which is
the main line and which is the "switch."
Senator Blackburn is very |x>pular
with his colleagues. When he returned
to the Senate from the fruitless senatorial
cont?>st in the Kentucky Legislature lie
was greeted by a mammoth tloral twelve
I feet high, prepared by his admiring friends
and colleagues, bearing on top of it the
motto: "United we stand, Divided we
falf." It was i} fitting rebuke to those
Democrats who deserted their party
because they were in a minority on the
money question.
...
Tho Road Law still distu rl>es the people.
They do not understand it and the
elucidations published have served rather
as mystillers. A good many want to
know if they can Ret hack one of the two
dollars commutation tax that they had to
pay. We do not intend to attempt an
elucidation of the law, certainly not until
it becomes llxed by tin; (.Jovernor's signature.
It is quite clear however that
those who have paid tho$2.(K) tax, will
get no part of it back, under any present
(law. The only question is whether those
who did not pay it will have to work six
I or four days.
We will have more to say about the
matter when we get a copy of the act,
which we hope to receive in a short time.

In another column we publis acirculam
or letter from Mr. E. L. Roche, asking
towns and cities and certain business interests
to send delegates to the Convention
which meets at Spartanburg on
Wednesday, 15th of April, for the purpose
of devising plans to have our State
well represented in the Southern Exposition
to l>e held at Chicago next fall. Of
course we are thoroughly in sympathy
Iwith every more calculated to advertise
South Carolina and the South. , We
believhthat we have the grandest country
011 earth and that if other people knew
the. facts tJiey would come here too. all
that could get here. Well 111 is K x 1 h ?si t ion

the Convention at ...Spartanburg is to

I parc&fsifct Under the call! Jnion County
' will lie entitled to several delegates,

are invited and in addition to that three
delegates froiu each town to lie ap|>ointcd

invited to send delegates, l.'nion County

The Senate of late years has gotten
:> lie a stumbling block to legislation and
lie sooner the senators In come directly
[ sponsible to tlie jicoplo for their posi10ns,
the sooner this stumbling block
nil be reinov< d. Many jM>ople indeed
avo come to look njion the senate a- >
[ind of Ilonse-of-I.ords clieek oil the
owerof the jtooplo. It was intended as a
heck, but rather as a check on hasty
>gjslation. When our forefathers placd
the election of the senators in the
amis of the Legislatures it was on the
resumption that a large majority of the
pnate would always lx> wise and patritic
men, profeiing the good of the w hole
ountry alwvo all parly or pecuniary eon
iderations. Cut the presumption was a
cry rash one, as the less enthusiastic nu 11
oresaw from the lieginning. We have
Mimed that self interest is ajx.werful inentivc
even with a senator. Then-fore
re believe it will Ik- a good thine to make
hem personally resi>onsihle lo and deleiident
on the votes of the people directv,
so that it will In- to their ow n interest
o work for the I test interest of the jk-c
?
ITiie Cuban question is now taking on
a von- grave aspect. In the light of
present facts, what has lieen saiil and
what done, it looks as if the Tnit?d
States will yet have some trouble if not a
war with Spain over the l>cnutiful island.
Senator Mills in" a speech in tic I'nited
States Si nate on Tuesday strongly advised
that the I'nited States demand self
government for the Cubans. His position
Was a strong one too. lie said ihat
by our Monroe Doetrine we would not
let Spain sell Cuba, or even five it to any
other F.uropean power. I'm! the Spanish
government was nothing Inn a series of
atrocities. Therefore it was our duty to
lay aside our Monroe Doetrine or to give I
our'protect ion to these helpless ( n ha lis.
That by onr foreign |K?liey we had denied
to them the protection of all other first
irate powers, and for us torefusq tointerMecb
in their behalf now would like
hocking them Up ill U dungeon for Spain
to torture them. lie used no doubtful
1 uiguage either, but said that if 8]>aiii
persistently refused to give them home
rule the United States should take military
possession of the island and give the
Cubans time to arm and equip themselves
for war.
That means that one senator at least
is in favor of giving CuIki her freedom,
p.aeibly if we can, but forcibly if we
mast.
It is by no means probable that SiKiin
will give up her control of Cuba without
a war, : \d it is scarcely less proliable that
she will lie able to rule the insurgent Cubans.
80 the probability is that the war
with its savage atrocities will continue
until the United States uses her good
offices, or that failing, her military
strength, to stop it.

Tlio most wonderful of nil the remarkablo
things which nightly come
within rango of tho powerful modern
toloscopes is tho doublo moon
which continually circles around
and around Jupiter, tho "giant of
tho skios." This astronomical oddity
was not known until after tho great
Lick telescopo was put in position
on Mount Hamilton, tho discovery
of tho tiny satollito only dating baok
to 1891. Tho first bint of tho presonco
of this "moon of a moon" was
given when ono of tho Lick obsorvatory
men roportod that ono of Jupiter's
satellites appoarod to bo casting
a doublo shadow on tho giant
planet's surface. From that time
forward for somo wocks a sharp
lookout was kopt, and at last tho
obscrvors wore rewarded in gotting
a glimpso of tho curiosity?a tiny
dot of a moon revolving around another
moon, both hold in position by
tho groat Jupiter.?St. Louis ltopublio.

FIRE!! W LIFE!!
I am now representing the
Bankers Guarantee Life Association
in Life Insurance
and am enabled to write as
good and from one half to
one third cheaper insurance
than the old line companies.
As an example, look at a policy
in the Bankers in comparison
with either of the old
line companies - (t h e N. Y.
Mutual, for instance.) $238.80
is the annual pre m i 11 m
charged by this company at
age 40 to secure a twent y
year limited payment policy
of $6000. With our company,
the Bankers, we charge only
$98.58, a difference of #140.22. Note
this difference. Now if
you can manage your own affairs,
without the assistance
of this old line company to
act as your guardian, and will j
invest this amount ($140.22) J
each year yourself, it will pro-1
duce at 6 per cent, compound j
interest at the expiration of i
19 years the snug little sum of j
$5017. In case of death with ;
this policy in an old line com- j j
pany the beneficiary would j v
only recive the face of the '
policy or $6000.00. \\ ith ours !
the face of the policy and all j
accretions. Study this and 1
>ee what the old line Compa- j
nies are doing for you.
I also represent the Lloyds
Fire Insurance Companies!
and will write near every kind
of risk 15 per cent cheaper'
than the old line companies, j
Country risks such as Ginner- !
ies, Grist Mills, Saw Mills, B
Barns etc. will be glad to ;
write.
All those wishing insurance j
of either kind I would lw? <d-nI
if they will cull 011 inc.
