There has for somo time passod been a scarcity of building lumber at this place ' and people have complained that they ; could not get lumber to keep up with the demand for new buildings in the > town. AVe guess all paities can get sup1 plied now, however, on short notice, we notice that the Bailey Lumber Co. have l" received at their lumber yard a he*ay shipment of lumber. They have between 50,000 and 75,000 feet of rough and some - 40,000 feet of dressed lumber, 2 cars of - lime, 1 car of cement and 1 cur of lathes, t! ana it seems Uiey are leady to supply the i. demand. Now let the good woik ol I biiildidg homes go on. Union need: y many moro houses to supply the demani' of renters.

The Railroad Being Puslie I to a as Rapid Finish?Iron Being Laid. it. Excellent Work by Contractors. ty Road to be Finished in Short TIme--Ground Being Broken for t he $i,000,000 Mill to be Ready for this Year's Crop?Beautiful U~ Location for Suburban Town. us v The railroad from Union to tlic site for the big million dollar cotton mill on Buffalo is ncaring completion. While the mill site is four miles fiom the town e* of Union, over the public road, the raillis road cuts a mile from tve distance and it co is barely three miles to the beautiful site ;e of the mill, which is upon the high ii. plateau on the west side of the Glenn .( Springs road, just lieyond the stream s known as Buffalo. This cannot fail to ,T be a healthy location, the drainage is :o |>eifect, and there is plenty of room 011 H.13 beaut 1 rul plateau for thj model mill town which Mr. Duncan is going to [' build, there will be every modern convenience, tho town is to Ite equipped n with a sewerage system and clecti ic lights, 11 and will be one of the most up to-date '* mill towns [ in South Carolina. This i 0 place will, in a few years, be a suburban town to Union, of some two or three # 1 thousand inhabitants. The contract for 0 the building of this mi 1 has been let, and ground was broken yesterday for 1 tho foundation. It is needless to say " that the work of building will bo pushed with all possible speed, the simple fact 1 that T. C. Duncan is at the helm is suf> licicnt guarantee of this. The phencm| inal record ho made in building tliei ' mammoth mill here in Uulon ? Ltwwn r all over the United States. In the matter of mill building ar.d mill management I Air. Duncan has few peers and no supcr. iors anywhere. The mill is to be finished . by July 1st so as to ho ready for this year's cotton crop. This mill is to be . run by electricity. It is the third mill in upper South Carolina whose motive power is electricity and the second one to be 01*3rated by its own electric plant li will be 43*Jxl2d feet, four stories high and will be 0110 among tin largest mills in the South. Wc have heard much said about moving the mills to the cotton fields*but in this case it is in no wayanrsnomerusthis mill is certainly to be built in the cotton ticld. The cotton ttalks were plowed 1 under in excavating for the foundation. This is taking the mills to the cotton 1 fields in reality. The railroad contractors are pushing the work of grading the road to the rail'., and report that they exjieot to have the 1 trdck ready for trains in ten to twelve has already begun on the finished portion o( the grading. M s*srs. Geo. Moi ra & , Co., of Blackiville, are the original con- i tractors, and they let out sub contracts, so tha ru-li began all along tlio Hue and the work waspn-had with all rapidity possible, in fact thisroa I lush -en pushed so rapidly that there will ba a road with trains manning to Buff do before some ' of the people of Union county are aware that such a thing was in contemplation. The contractors and their foremen all uiu^u initio ior me energetic manner in which they luve pushed the work. We regret that space will not allow us to go into details as to their work, and to the great disadvantages under which they labored. But they have done exceedingly well, and show that they are men thoroughly familiar : with this kind of work. ' The grading from the rui!l site back J this way for half a mile is in charge of that veteran railroad contractor, who is i pleasantly renumbered in n..n^ j vnw 6 Us contractors, and he is doing ' his work up in fine shape. Mi. Jno. T. Itose is one of his foremen and is in charge of a force at work in the big cut this side of the creek. Mr. Itore is a veteran himself in this kind of woik aud well uudcrtands bow to manage a foree of hands to get tho best results. Mr. . Neely, of the Lockhart road, has charge of the force back of tho Pearson house, . and at the fill at Pearson's branch and I is making every hour count. The work between Pearson and Perry 1 branch and between the mill site and the Jeter branch has been finished by Mr. Geo. Ioj Parker, the veteran contractor and levee builder, lie was one of the contractors on the rebuilding of the - famous Mississippi levee. The res' maining cut between the Jeter and t Perry branch is bsing rapidly moved by Mr. lloss with a big force ol' hands. In M cm or in :n. 2 Mr. Editor: There was a little bright happy home almost ill sight of us a few * days ago.

Wouder why it is that the council do not post the names of the different streets? It would be a matter of great convenience to the public. Wo doubt if on an average one of ten of the citizens j of the town can name half a dozen of the streets. It would not cost more than or $10, we imagine, to po^t the names of every stieet in the city. We have never seen a town of any consequence that did not have the names of the different streets posted on the sides of corner buildings or in sjbmo other conspicuous place. Union, jthough something of a city is a back rj^mber in this respect, and a strange^r^ias no way of locating a street, without^ inquiring of the citizens, and then lie may possibly be conqiclhd to ask half n i,..r i-- ?* __ .. uxi.uii uciuic no gets i lie desired information. Don't know the names of the streets of your own town, funny isn't it? But how are we to learn unless the names are posted. We hope our progressive city fathers w ill see their way clear to putt ing up t liese litt le boards on every street. A Big round Party. A delightful pound party was pulled off at Mr. B. A. Gregoiy's home in the West Springs section last Friday night. It was one of the most enjoyable entertainments that has been given in that Motion, there were between C>0 and T."? people present, the crowd was considerably augmented by representatives 'rom Union, Santnc, Carlisle, Cross Keys, Jonesville and Spartanburg. The :rack string band from Glenn springs had been engaged for theocm. ?nd furnished excellent music, vbilo tbe'jtuls and lasses tripped the light antastic - toe, three sets being on the loor at one time. It was a strictly upo-date affair end was immensely mjoyed by all present. A bounteous upper w;\s served to the guests which ,vas in keeping with the occasion, and o which the large catlarincr did ustice. No place like the country for mjoyable sociables. _ ? South Carolina Cotton Mills. South Carolina h is already in operaion mo>t of the largest cotton miils in he South, or rather, she has a larger ortion of the larger mills than any ther Southern State. During lS'J'J here were chartered in that State tweny-six mills, w ith a capital stock of 50.000, and of the.-e, sixteen were com I'eted. Other sixteen mills, already in peration, have been enlarged to thecxent of several millions of dollars, nvikng a total investment in cot'on manuActure during the year of '.),U7!),0U0. vc^p0,mv^i?^;sn/m>N. ^wii?Lcamo iSTvetl by home people who had already eali/ed from similar investments, or by ther home in'ople who wished to share i the profits the sum accruing to such lVtstinents. It will not be long before outli Carolina will be near the front as cotton manufacturing State. Already ' early all the cotton grown there is man- 1 facta ltd at hom*, which gives a home larket for th.e product of the s >il and the same time more than doubles the alue of that product before i* leaves lie state, besides furnishing employment ( o thousands of wage earners.

Southern Cotton Manufacture. Mr. I). A. Tompkins, of Charlotte, N, 3., who is a dealer in cotton mill mililiiuerj, is interested in several cotton nills, md is probably as well informed is any ono in the Sonto as to the status md prospects of Southern textile manu'acture, luis rqcently given out an interdew bristling with the facts and figures which go to prove that the time ii not 'ar distant when the hulk of the cotton nop will txi manufactured where it is ?rown. I lis figures are as follows: The South has now in ojieration 5,000,000 (pi 1 idles, while New England has 111,000,)00. There is practically no increaje in England, wlnle the South will need it least 2.000,00 1 to equip the mills to be completed ties year. As the enlir? ni.h.nr ,.t u. .1. ..1 l.'.o i.. ?.?. 1T.,lt...l States is only al)out 2,">00,000 a year, it will be seen thit the South is already absorbing most of them.
