It seems that he had them tethered near the railroad ? to feed on the giass, they got. on the railroad and tvere caught and killed by ore of the passenger trains. It is a sad misfortune to this colored man at this time, as lie was depending upon his mules to make his crop, and in all probability is not tlDar.cially able to replace them. Bright Prospects. 3 Very encouraging repoits come from various sections of the county regarding ' the wheat and oat-crop It is said that 3 some of the crops in Santuc and Cross Keys townships are the finest seen in years. Several farmers have fields ol - grain from knee high to waist high. Ttlis is illftcpll (.linnili-jirlnrt '?? io Oif report of the fruit crop.

II Bridges Washed A way?Roads Cu into gullies?hands badly washed. The heavy rains last week playe< havoc with this section of the State. W< have wade enquiry of our faimen from various sections of Union county 8 and the report! summed up tire to th< e effect thai the roads and lands about 1 the county have not been so torn up and 5 washed out in many years. Some of tin 1 roads are impassible and many farmers ' coming to town eucouuter sucli places in the roads as to necessitate their going r back and making a great detour in order to get to town at all. One farmer reports that he found a great wash at a ford iu a private road, ho took a tail and pitched into it and the rail went out of sight, so 1 he turned back. Another got into a deep gully in the road which had been formed by the side ditches filling up and the f water taking down the wagon ruts in s the road. The wagon went down until the axles dragged. lie had to cut loose r the off mule and put him in front of the 1 tongue and unload members of his family from the wagon before he could pull the wagon out. The farms on the 1 illsides have lieen literally cut to pieces, the water causing great gullies and ditches by its rapid rusli< All bottom laud was Hooded, and some of the streams were higher than i they have been for years. The Harris bridge at the Forest was I badly damaged, two spans of it being I swept off the piers, but it fortunately > lodgtd against some trees and c?n be put back with very little trouble. The bridge over Shoals Creek was washed away. It is said the water was from tluee to four feet over the ll)or of Ilar1 ris' bridge. No bridges have been rei ported down on the Tyger river, as they are all built very high above the water. lirown's Creek on the opposite side of town was a raging torrent, and the dam t at Harris' mill has been swept away and the shoal rocks, which have been covered for years, were washed clear of ' the sand ai.d are bare now, showing that the bed of the stream lr.is l>een consi 1erably washed out. It is hard to estimate the damage to the farmers, fortunately, however, not much of the crop had been planted. In the way of roa-l and bridge repairing the cost to the i coanty is going to be a considerable item. , ? A Grnckcr-Jack Team. i Quite a little hubbub of excitemet was : caused at the depot last Tuesday night upon the arrival of the train from Spars tunburg, especially by the base bail eni lliusiasts who hapixnied to be present. , As i he train stopped there was a regular stampede from the train to the Gibbes dinner house by a jolly, good-looking and lively gang of boys in the regulation base ball sweaters. They literally tumbled . over each other in getting from the train to the eating house, they were as active i as eats and brim full of fun. It made . one think of the ball season last year, and 5 the question "who are they?" was heard ! on every side. As soon as supper yvjis ( over we cornered the captain of the 1 team, Mr. J. F. Itoyster, a jolly, good i uatured young gentleman, who was en. thusiastic over the good record his team ) has so far made this season. From him r we learned that the team was the Wake ; Forest college team of N. C., and that f they were 0:1 their way to play the At, lanta "Tecks" Wednesday and the . Macon team Thursday and Friday. His team had played 7 games so far, losing only two, these two were surrendered to Wofford College team by close shaves Monday and Tuesday. The game Mon. day being 7 to .'5 and the game Tuesday ; being 1 to 0, both in favor of Wofford. r The Tuesday's game was a remarkable . one, there having been only four hits on f each side and only one error in the game, this was credited to Wofford. It was rc, ported to be the finest game t\vr witr nessed in Spartanburg. Mr. Koysb r says Wofford has :v very line team, . and a splendid set. of fellows compose it. Tlio Wako Forest team aie certainly a , line looking lot of gentlemanly young f men. In the rejiort of Monday's game at Spartanburg the Herald say of tl e team: , "The team from "Wake Forest is ont . of the most gentlemanly ones that it ha.v . been Wollord's good fortune to play or. the home grouuds in some time. Noi i, once during the game was there any dissatisfaction at the decisions of the inn pire. To use an expression of the ball ground, it was a very "clean" game from start to finish. The Wake Forest lioys have impressed the boys on the campic as being gentlemen in every resjicct." We told Capt. ttoyster that we wort J getting up a team for Union, and wt " hoped to have the pleasure of crossitip . bats with his men. He said they wouhi be gla-l t?? accommodate us. The fol lowing gentlemen compose this line team Captain, F. C. ltoyster; Manager, 'i'. It Taylor; Messrs. F. C. Sams. II, 1 Trantham, W. A. "Weaver, J. I). Moore ;* W. W. ltodgers, J. E. llol-good, K. B 1 Gritlin, It. M. Freeman, G. A. Foote ' W. C. Petty. ltoyster is catcher and he ' has two Itft handed pitchers. IIoiw w? will get a better acquaintance with thes gentlemen before the ball saasn is over. '' Sick on the Train. *' A sad sight was witnessed 011 the 111 a pissenger train Sunday. Dr. M. T Smith reteived a telegiam to meet tin train at the depot to attend a nick lad; who was aboard. When the train ar a rived it was found that Mrs. Franl j Dai by was very ill from nervous prostra ' lion. She was accompanied by her sister e and wasatteudtd by Dr. Jeter who cann up with her from Carlisle. The lad; became ill directly after leaving Coluni bia, 011 her way to her home in Ashe ville. She was exhausted from a perio< o of illness in Columbia. She had sevcra violent attacks while here and it ro<|nire< e the strength of two or three to hold her 1- until the d.ietors administered morphini and chloroform. Neither of the physi e ciaus accompanied Do patient furliie 1, hut gave those in charge distinctions and she was made as comfortable as tin circumstances would admit and wa e taken on to Asheville. She begged piti r, ouMy to be taken back to Columbia. W< e understand that she was thought to b dying just before reaching Asheville is She rallied but arrived in a very scritu 1. couditiou.
