FKIDAV'S STORM.
The Dunn Building u Complete
Wreck?A Close Call tor Four
Men?Root too Barge.
Last Friday about two o'clock a very
hard wind struck Union, accompanied
by a hard rain. The wiud b'ew down
several trees, some fences and corn, but
the greatest damage was wlone on the
upper end of Main street. The roof on
thj Dunn Building, which covers two
stores was raised, broken half in two
and rafters, joist and tia rose thirty feet
in the ail*and cams sailing to the front.

A'reet and wrecking the fronts of otl er
stores by striking a tall telephone pole
which threw it back and it fell to the
grouud a mass of wreckage. The whole
wreckage fell on a wagon and a team of
inuh s,audit isalmost miracul >ns that Ike
mules escaped with only slight bruises.
The telephone pole was broken off at the
| ground and fell across the street break,
uig a number of wires and tangling them
badly. The telep'i >ne and the electric
light people went tj work at once to
tix up the wires.
One of the store rooms was occupied by
McLaughlin & Brown, the oth -r by S.
M. lticj's Wonder Store. When the roof
br? ke, the timbers in the rear of the building
gave way and brick, plastering and
timbers came tumbling into the sto es,
leavieg a pile of debris four o: live feet
high w Inch njni' near killing saverabpec?
pie. Mr. Will Brown and lp* clerk, Mr.
Wi.l Sexton, went to Uh back door to ;
hold it shut, ami another gentleman was
standing near them when tlie top fell in, |
all around and over them, fortunately i
the heavy timbers missed them hat they !
were considerably brui-e I an 1 scratched '
by the falling brielc and plastering. Mr. I
3. M. 11 ee's life was sived in a provi- I
jdential manner. When the rain begin]
he was sitting at his desk but he went lq
the front to get souk gooJs off the street.
Noticing that hit ba^k door had
been blown open and the wind was playing
h ivack in the store he started on'
a run to close the dx>r, hut when In got
half way the top fell in, right in front of
hi in, covering up his desk with heavy
timbers, and the counters in the rear
with the mass of rubbish. They all ha 1
a close call, and to look at. the wreck,
1 one would not think it possible tint any
one could have been in it without getting
seriously ii jured if not killed.
Fortunately there were two vacant atons
in town and the work of moving b gin at
once, with the ai<i of ueiguboring merchants
and clt-iks who joined in and heljied <
with a will, lly night McLaughlin &
Drown had moved their stock to the old
Graham \ Sparks storeroom, and S. M,
IIice liad moved to one of (.'apt. Foster's
buildings, both on Main street.
The damage to the building was con*
s'derable, possibly $700 or $300, while
that to the goals of thi merchants
was not verygiv.it, amounting to probably
SiUO, as only heavy goals were kept i.i
the rear of the store.

A scholarship In Converse College
was offered by the (traded School cf
l.'nion to be contested for by the
graduating class. Miss Fdua Vaster
won 1 his scholarship. After investigation
her father, Mr. T. K. Foster,
decided to send Miss Edna to Wi;p
throp Normal Institute, notwithstanding
the free scholarship at Con.
verse. As this was his decision Miss
F,dna, learning that a scholarship was
open for I'nion County in Winthrop,
decided to enter the contest with
several others for the scholarship, and
by t lie same earnest olior-t and close
application that crowned Iter with
sttooess in the former contest- sju.
succeeded in wlnulm? 'V.s scholarship
also, Th'.j Is (|iiitean enviable record
that this popular and accomplished
young lady has made. One that any
one might he proud of, and one that
very few have to their credit. A girl
who can win such laurals will retlect
credit upon not only herself and
family but upon the community in
which she lives, bo she at Converse,
Winthrop or any other Institution.
We congratulate her and wish her
much success in her new field of
studies, and may she reiurn to us
orownod with additional Inurals. Miss
Kdna is a fair sample of tlie work
being accomplished by the earnest
work of the teachers in our graded I
school ami we feel thai such results
must be very gratifying to her instructors
who trained her as she progrossed
t hr High the different grades.

WASHINGTON 1,ETT1$R. I
(From our Regular Corresp relent ) I
Washington, Aug. 14,1890.?The new
Secretary of. War is astonishing the ,
bureau otlieers of the War Department.
Tliey hai accepted the statement that
the new Secretary was to devote his time
to solvlug the legal problems which ari;e
in administering the affairs of the depart- J
menf, Int they.lind that he intends to be
the head of the department in all things J
and what is more he has i teas ou military
matters, either his own or those of experts
from whom he has taken advice,
probably the latter, and that from now
on, they are to be subordinates in fact as
in name. While no olllciuls orde.s have
been issued saying as much explicitly,
the talk and acts of Secretary 11 >ot have j
made it apparent that he intends h tving G
between forty and lifty thousand rlT-ctive
lighting men iu the Philippines by the
close of the rainy season; also probably
that he intends, without in any way discrediting
(len. Otis, to so arrange matters :
that Gen. Otis will perform the duties <
proiKirly pertaining to the military gov- |
emorship of the Pndippines and will, of i
course, retain the supreme commuidof
the troops over th?re, another man? d
most likely (Jen. J/iwtoti?will be giwn \
