We are soriy that we are unable to announce the winner in the guessing contest in this issue, but owing to tiie great number of votes wist and the great trouble in counting them and ascertaining if the votes are paid up subscribers.

The 8500 reward offered by the town council and published in The Times has brought about the arrest of Dr. W. M. Meador for the attempted burning of the Dank Building in February last. The indictment was under the common law for the offence known as an attempt to commit a felony. Mr. George C. May made (lie atlldavit upon which the warrant was issued. Upon the arrest Dr. Meador was carried before Magistrate Stokes and released under bond in tlie sum of 8000. The following letter from Union was received by tin; Board of Control in Columbia Wednesday: "State of South Carolina, Bottling Company of Whiskey for South Carolina: "Sirs: I think I can buy license to sell whiskey.

"S. II. Brown." II is with great regret that we have learned that George Sims, who is one of the most industrious colored men in our city is going rapidly blind. George has informed us that Dr. Kolloek of Charleston has agreed to restore his sight free of charge if he will but come to Charleston. As his condition now renders him unable to work we hope that our. citizens will help him to reach Charleston and give him enough to cover his exiTTnses wlTIle tluTO, for*,we feel thai Tus long years of service in our midst could not be U tter rewarded than by assisting him to restore his sight. Mr. .J. C. Sartor, of Santuc, paid us a visit on Wednesday; he brought with him four Immense red Onions, the four weighed iMIbs?grown by his son William. From ] of an acre he gathered one hundred and thirty bushels, at ?125 per bushel this lieats cotton at lbcts per Il>. Mr. Sartor informs us that his son spent two years at Clemson, and while there ho learned the art of intensive farming. That the land upon which the onions were grown was a lioor spot mar the house, that his son used a ?iuauity of stable manure and commercial fertilizers, that the llrst year only bushels wore produced, this the second jcar bin on same laud, lie thinks that he can give live hundred bushels per acre at the latio of increase on same land. There is a difference in being a judge's son and a factory oi>crativc, when brought i Ik1 fore the courts, as was clearly evidenced at the present session of court, presided over by Judge Buchanan. Ben Towuseud, son of Judge 1). A. Townscud .iiul VI Buraress. a factorvoperative. carried I wo cases from the Mayor's court to the circuit court on appeal. Ihtrgtjw case was taken up first, and the judge was veiy strong in liis remarks against lhirgoss, hut when Tounseml's case was called the aspect of affairs were changed altogether. The papers in lioth eases were then taken under advisement. The judges demeanor and actions have caused considerable talk and comment. A judge should not make tish of one and tlesh of another. Court convened on Monday last. Judge (>. W. Jhichanan presiding. Solicitor Sense was at his jn?st of duty. Tlie grand jury was dismissed on Tuesday and the petit jury oil Wednesday. Several eases were continued on iiccouiii of the absence of material witnesses. Nothing very startling hnp]>ened or occurved during the session.

To the citizens of Union: 1 have this day sent to the city council my resignation as Mayor of Union, By your suffrage i have been honored with the olllce for several years and there is yet another year before my term of olliec expires. It is due you therefore that 1 explain my action in resigning. Three physicians and several of iny friends have repeatedly warned me that I was over-taxing my mental and physical powers, and that -if I should persist in going on as I have been a crisis would l>e reached. I feel that these warnings are not unfounded. Besides this my own business has grown to such proportions and at the same time the duties of the mayor's olllce have multiplied so rapidly that I ftiwl it impossible to do justice by both. It is in view of these facts anil these alone, that I have been led to take the steps 1 have The affairs of your city were never in better shape. Union,s future never seemed brighter.

A GOOD EXAMPLE The town of Union has shown a splended spirit in its efforts to detect and punish the incendiaries who have set lire to some of its houses. The business arson had lieen made, offercxl a reward for the apprehension of the offenders. It was no trifling picayune reward. In sums of live liundred and two hundred and fifty dollars the leading business men contributed and the disjiosiiion to put down the infamous form of lawlessness was earnest. Nothing injures a town more than a "fire epidemic." The frequency of fires inn town destroys its character as well as its business and spreads utter demoralization. Union in an emergency has behaved in a manner that promises to lie an admirable example to other towns which may at any moment have a similar problem to deal with. Men who will give lilierally out of their pockets for the public gissl may lie relied on nnd words said that she would spend he last dollar to proteci her good name and her proi>erty from the most dangerous class of law breakers.?Greenville News.
