Plenty of Lumber Now.
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. There ia no better invest'
f ment than to build cottages for rent in i
. growing town like Uuiou.

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.

Can You Name The Streets?
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

is interested in several cotton
nills, md is probably as well informed

which go to prove that the time ii not

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?
