UNION, S. C., JUNE 8, 1900.
The Orange Free State has boei
annexed by the British and the nam
has been changed from the Ornngi
Free State to Orange River State.
Now the census taker is stalking
through the land, he will offer a tar
get for the funny paragraph man
There will be more puns gotten oil or
the por census taker than poems or
spring.
Wonder iust how McKinloy ex
m^wa^Vu^roveV\Thlm"ftVth
breaking out of the Spanish-Ameri
can war. An itemized statemen
would no doubt furnish interestir
reading just, about now.
In the apportionment-of the Dis
pensary profits among tlie variou
counties of the State Union's sbar
was $1,394.Sfi. Union's schools en
rollraent is 5,010. This apportion
raent was to make up the $3 pe
capita to the schools of the State.
It is funny with what intense anx
iety the Republicans are endeavorin;
to hasten the adjournment of Con
gress. They didn't relish a show
down of the rottenness in the postn
affair in Cuba. Maybe it would re
suiting greater show-down in th
wind-up than would be healthy fo
the powers that be.
If tlie Democrats can't knock th
Republicans out of the box at tin
next election, with all the rottennes:
attributed to the party, the unhearc
of extravagance, the great trust
squeezes, tho costly commissions oi
McKinleyism, nnd his wishy-washy
administration they had better throw
up the sponge. They will not likely
find things to their hands any more
satisfactory in the future. If we
cannot oust them now we never can
and they know it.
An ellort is on foot to try and in
duce the Boers to coma to America
This excellent class of farmers woulc
be a great acquisition to the Unitei
States, and there is a big opening ir
this country for them as most of tho
country i? moving into the mill towns
to work in the mills. It begins to
look like the country will eventually
be depopulated of farmers unless
some farmers are imported from some
where. AVe could not do better than
to get the Boers here.
A movement is on foot in Greenville,
S. C., to build a five story hotel
with every modern convenience. The
first floor will have four store rooms,
fifteen offices, the dining room will
be in the second story. There will
be a roof garden on top or the 3th
story. It is to cost .$100,000. Greenville
is to furnish $85,000 of the capital,
outside capitalist to furnish the
balance. $18,000 lias been raided by
Greenville, and small subscriptions
are solicited to raise the remainder
of the $85,000. Six percent, is guaranteed
on the stock. The people of
Greenville should take hold and raise
the amount necessary.
It seems that Neely adopted a ve y
simple method of book-keeping in
Cnba. In his postal steal he seems
to have simply divided what he took
in and appropriated one of the piles.
His sharo for May, 1899, by this
method amounted to about $81,812.
It is now estimated that the postal
steal will amount to between $80,000
and $100,000. This outside of tho
surplus stamps item of $111,000,
which were supposed to have been
burned, but Neely sold thousands of
them, and they will possibly soon be
scattered all over the world, and no
doubt will bo bought at a premium
in a few years by the stamp gatherer.
The scandal is only increased as tho
investigation proooods.
^ There are several things whic
? need probing Into in the Cuban got
eminent affairs. Here ary some littl
things tliat it might bo well to loo
into, no telling how many more mn
turn up later:
"The theft of $100,000 from tb
postal service by defaulter Neoly an
- his accomplices.
The expenditure of $212,000, wit
- the prospect of an additional expend
iture of $800,000 more, to construe
' and equip the Triscornia Railway
ostensibly as a military expendient
- but demonstrated to be absolute!;
worthless for any purpose.
I The system of "allowances,1
* amounting to $150,000, granted b;
, Secretary of War Root for the pei
. sonal expenses of officials sent her
by the War Department.
The reconstruction of the Compos
tela barracks at a cost of $ 10,000, ot
stensibly for school pnrposes bu
reany wirnout oeneiu to uu/uuujr c:
cept the contractors.
The payment of excessive rates c
exchange, aggregating $250,000, t
the North American Trust Compan
(tiscnl agent of the United States) fc
: handling Government money.
The retention of Ernest Lee Conari
as legal adviser to Gov.-Gen. Woo
and the city government of Havan
3 while acting as agent and legal rcpn
e sentative of a corporation dentin
p with both branches of the public se
vice.
The use of United States navi
transports as passenger boats by off
' cials travelling between the Unite
" States and Cuba.
These seven cases show the careles
5 if not criminal manner in which th
i affairs of tlie Cubans have been mh
managed under the direction of th
Administration at Washington."'
It is reported that Aguinaldo wa
e The nearest verification of the ropo
is that Major March and the thirf,

be Aguinaldo's party. The Atnei

An Old Veteran Tells of His Vis
to the Louisville Reunion.
Mr. Editor: I am no news pap
writer, but thought I would write a fe
lines to-day from our section. T1
farmers are very busy lighting Ge
Green, and I believe they are hold it
their own. Crops are very small hut
i- think the stand of cotton is pretty fa
e though a great deal of it is late. Cro|
are not as good as they were last year ;
this date. Wheat Is fairly gosi out t<
little sowed; not many oate bowo, ou
the fall sowing promising much yield,
e I have just returned from the v< teran

tucky cared well for m all and thei
j was a good turn out for tills busy seaso
* of the year. The blue grass section t
t Kentucky can't he heat, it is the line
f country I ever saw. Corn in Xort
Carolina and Tennessee is tine, it is l'roi
ankle to nearly knee high. Wheat
* very fine. The scenery all the wayfroi
- Ashevillo is most beautiful. We can:
hack on a special train and did not sto
' at small stations, our conductor stoppe

us to take a view of the place, but n<
long enough for us to go and see tl

I will now give you a few iteun o
Louisville as I gathered them. She i
i situated on the banks of the Ohio river
She has an area of 20 square miles; ovs
230,000 people live there; value o
property aasetts 1120,000,000; number <
churches 219; 1(13 miles of electric rai
way; 10 great railway systems ecu (ere
there; 31 newspapers and magi/ines
1,800 manufacturing eslab'islime 11 ts will
a combined capital of $88,000,000 air
employing over 28,000 bauds; the large?
wagon factory in the world, covering 3
acres of land, output of 100 wagon
daily, besides Hal lard's great tlourin
mill, turning out 1,300 barrels officii
daily, and then there is the l<ouisvill
Hacking Co., which slaughters aboe
1,500 hogs daily, besides beeves an
sheep. I might say a great deal more 0
the city but will not take up your valu
able space. I did not visit all the im

I am satisfied that all the. old veteran
who visited the packing house were we!
