"W. It. JOaviS, OI UOffllUJsviiic, \v;i:
in the city yesterday on business
Hr. Davia informs The I.edge r thai
he is going to move to Union. Mr
Daxis should know better than to <l<
anything like that. Union is r. ver>
yood town but Ciuffney is so inm-i
better that ho should not think o
going anywhere else."
,Now right there is where we di T< i
Irani our good brother of the (infTm \
Ledger. We think Mr. Davis kr.ov.f
exactly what ho is doing, and provae
it by coming to Union instead r l
Gaffney. GalTney will do very w? I
ae a town and is really a pretty litt'f
place, but when it comes to comparing
It with Union, why it isn't in tie
fight.
Spanking of the popular regard foi
W. J. Bryau, the Hon. Champ Clairl
ef Missouri, Mays ; ' The sentiment
with which that man is regarded lias
become a religious fervor. I saw
eomathing at the Bland funeral that

Bryan, and if wo a&iv one man reach

a cart horso beating Ten Urocele."
Union wad visited Monday night
with a pretty heavy wind accompanied
with rain. It was the ragged edge ol
the coast storm which did so much
damage to the towns along the const.
Considerable damage was done at
Wrlghtaville and Carolina Heuch near
Wilmington, N. C. Loss estimated
at $25 ,<>UU to cottages etc, nnd$5'V
to railroad property at Wrightsvil.'e,
and $15,(X)C damage to cottages at
Carolina Beach. A $10,0UU schooner
was wrecked at Virginia Bench.
Several houses were blown down in
Charleston and a child killed by a
falling house. The ?t<;rm r.w raged a
velocity of 75 to 05 rrihes i.e.- hour.

r "EDITOR UNION TIMES, Union, S. C:
Dr.aii Siu?I thank you heartily for your letter an J the conies ot
. Tut: Union Timfs containing tlie Scroll, "IN HIS STKi'S''. The fiery,
- when written, was purely imaginary. I knew of no such places or characters
in existence. It was not founTc 1 upon fact but was written with a
great ilesire that the imaginary might become real. Since the story' awritten
1 have hoar! of several characters who are very nearly like r. .-<
in the b >ok.
The pledge to try an 1 ! > as Jesus w vjhl 1> has b>on taken by n-arlv
i every member of iny own Endeavor S >cioty, ami by a very large numb r of
r the members of my own church. Those who have taken the pledge meet at
e theclos^of each communion service Nix times a year) and we roluti our
r> nn\iim.?w>Dj <1 ?'r 11itn-iI iima viii" :: i! nr.iw sind fcllowshin t 0"cl hnr. T:>.-;r
- | r >nsecration services are growing i 1 usefulness an?l p r.ver and th church
. is better in every way on account of them. The pledge is purely v ?Ii;: t try
i" and those who t.tko it do not judge t: >se who are not ready to do s >. As
7 every meeting, so far, additions hivj been ma le to the number \v!io .uv
willing to take the pledge, < Kir r churches and Kndeavor Societies are i>v
ginning to take the pledge and try to live it out in business and politics an i
everywhere.
"My host wi-dies go with you as you use the story to help your readers

TO Tim COTTONTOT.
Cotton is briii^in^ a bettor prion
than anyone hoped for and while the
>:io half to two-thirds of a crop th's
vear is !?ririi?in^? as uittoh as-the !a*t
year's < rop the farmers should not he
*.. .!vd wit It the idea that cotton i>
.-.^ lin Kir jf.
The crop is so small that the ?!e naed
is ereatin*? a better prire thai:
heret >f -re and should Texas and t!i"
Mississippi territory make a fair crop
next year the same old 4o and .V
nrieos will again bo the order t?f the
lav.
Some have learned to get along
without depending on cotton for n
hi >ney crop, and the sooner a'l learn
lie lesson tho better will be the
mint ry.
'1 h v-c near tlse factories arc trucking
but the larger part of our citi/ 'tis
uv too far remote to cater to the
Mile, hut there is no reason why
hoy should not raise bread and meat
"<>r the factories and towns.
Wheat has now become a cadi
ropand a more healthful vig >r would
hp instilled into everybody if there
were in >rc advertisements in The
I'tMr.s Jike that of (1 iu!t I ires. "h>t>
mki.s ot" VAKttf'ius or m?Mt:
u visi:i? wu::.\r i on
We have looked over our e\ 'hang? s
ind fail to lind another such an advertisement?plenty
of t he merchants
are sulvi rtising wb.eat and urging the
farmers to sow. IJy this time r.erct
vcar wo want to hear of wheat f >r
ssilc by every farmer in the county.
While the tJauK boys are good farmers
they arc not so much latter than
my others that they are able to haul
vheut to market instead of eottou:
o:!i- ; < can do the same thing if tiro
would only try.
Mr. John Katulolph brought us in
a sample of turnips which were as
line as wo ever saw at any fair. One
a re of such turnips would fatten
twenty hogs.
Mr. Henry (inllman is not a cotton
ro: uy any moans?l\vo years ago ho
sow t!ie folly of his way ami though
<vcn miles from town regularly supplies
several families with vegetable-,
milk, hotter and chickens, from his
-urolus watermelons and vegetables
lie raised an 1 sold 1 ,!? ?<> pown's of hoy
mutt la>? year and thinks ho will bo
able to i>p?iiv 1 .f-Ott this year.
Wo know of one man who hr.d n
, three acre pntc*!i which ho sowed in
oat < and when they were out put in
t eow peas, a::d besides wintering a
| cow and horse s??ld I( () worth from
that patch. Witli cow pen hay for
| the cows, turnips for hoys and wheat
i for the family. Why should a I'nion
I county farmer worry about cotton?
S une may say that he needs cotton
to bring him ready money. Won't
do! If he converts pen vires it to
i md!.. butter or beef cattle and vegetables
and waste products into lews
! nothing sells more rapidly?while
1 wheat is more staple than cotton and
always brings spot cash.
If the farmer will use the right
kind of fertilizer and as much care
in the preparation of his lands for
j grain, as he does f >r cotton, the westj
cm farmer wi!i have to eat Lis corn
! and Hour or ship it to the Philippines.
! Nothing won!.' give us more pleasure
: than to announce next year that only
j a few curs of bread stuff bud been
| -'hipped to litis place.
