This is an organization that Bhould be of interest to every patriotic citizen of South Carolina. A State that is so sunken in selfishness and greed that its people manifest no interest in ita literature must be in a deplorable condition indeed. Wo are happy to ay that such is not the condition in South Carolina. Great interest has been manifested in the"Timrod Memorial Association" by many distinguished men in our State. The forth-coming "Memorial Edition'' of Timrod's poems ought to be welcomed by every loyal Carolinian. Miss Ethel Walker has been appointed local agent for Union and it is to be hoped that she will meet with a hearty response from our citizens. We understand that the orders are to be taken in advance. The price of the book is $1.50, to be paid when the book is delivered. "TV.- 1/vnol prOilt fTOIU the sale ol the hook. In fact, the object is not individual proiit, but the erection of some suitable memorial to the distinguished South Carolina poet. We notice that agents at other places in our State are meeting with abundant euccess. May we not ex pect as much for Uuion ? Apart from considerations ot State pride, the book is intrinsically worth more than the price asked for it. It will be a valuable [addition to every library. Timrod's poems have been highly endorsed bv IjitngfelloWf WiuUiaiyP&uJ Where Do You Stand? Every growing and ambitious city is composed of three elements : Those who work patriotically, vigorously and intelligently lor its advancement those who are in a state of apathy or indifference, and those who take a curious delight ir-. discouraging the efforts of others by ridicule, by a persistent denial that any progress can or has been accomplished and boasting ot every other city beside their own. Tho last class are called croakers, but they are really aomethiug worse, for their opposition does not ariao simply from despondency, but from that unenviable spirit which will neither act itself nor tufler others 'o act. Smallpox Abroad. Smalljiojc is abroad in the land again and has become epidemic in some p'acee. Tho situation in Edgefield county is reported to he serious, and tho State authorities have been appealed to for aid. The disease seems to be confined nrincinaliv to il<o 1 i ? * * *" colored population, and is therefore all the more difficult to suppress, as this class rove about p. groat deal and disseminate the acjurge. It would probably be well lor our local authorities t> take cognlzwcc of the situation, and should it bccorno threatening, adopt such measures as v.i'.l protect cur people against this Ireadful ; di-east.

Union Furnishes Three of South Carolina's Chief Magistrat cs. Editor Uuion Times: There is one thing going the rouno8 i of the press that is misleading and I feel like correcting in behalf ofUnion county. In Mr. D. D. Wallace's list of South Carolina's governors published in the Columbia State, and subsequently reproduced in the Iccal paper, Union county gets credit for only one governor?Gov. T. B. Jeter?but she furnished three, to wit:?Governors Win. Gist, David Johnson and T. B. J Jeter. Of the two former I do not i know which come3 first, but our old I men tell us that Union did furnish these and it will bo kept banding down. It is also said that Fairfiold furnished at least one, but sho is not credited. Are wo not woefully behind in state history? Hey Denver. Santuc, S. C.

In the closing session of the penitentiary investigating committee the testimony revealed the iacr tb?t there is an unpaid claim for l'J.OOu brick furnished to Senate.r Tillman in by tii3 penitentiary. Tho facts brought out arc about as follows : Iu July, IS!>5, Senator Tillman wus building at Trenton and was in need oi' some brick. Ia an offhand way he said to C>1. Meal, who, with C I. Lipscomb, was operating a brick yard for which the .Siu'.e furnished convict labor, the two parties to the contract sharing brick and brick alike- that ho wished be would ship him a car load to Trenton. In the same conversation about brick and his need !br 12,000 of them, according to Col. Lipscomb's recollection of! the story as narrated by Col. Nca\ j Senator Tillman's mind serine! to 1 dwell up n the ingratitude of repub lies, for n )t much sooner had he ordered the shipment than ho eaid: ' I have been going to Cloinsori and Winthrop colleges as trustee and now I am going t > ask the Legislature for re- j numeration."

There are many who will long remember this gifted woman. Posaeee iog a strong personality, with domin- I ant characteristics, she held a promi- ei uent position in this community. She r? was always interested in promoting oi any undertaking for the benefit of the u< church and commonwealth, where her g( unusual talents and energy insured its Ui success. For years she conducted the music of the Episcopal churelj with marked ability, and was ever alive to I the needs of church work. She taught fi music at the graded school, and had C previous to the building of the new school house, hold that position at the g "old academy." ( The touching presence of the school children gathered around her grave testified to the loug and close assc cia' tion with them, and was a graceful 1 ' tribute to her memory. Mi?3 Muuro was always ready to ? respond to the call of distress, and in ( sickness and trouble to extend the 1 hand of sympathy, and to render most capable service. Her gifts were many # aud her purpose aud strength of will remarkable; the latter was most strik- J iugly illustrated during her last ill ! ness.
