What is It.
Mr. Ike McKissick has handed ui a
curiosity which a neighbor dug up from
the ground a few days ago. Mr. McKissick
thinks perhaps it is the work of
the Indians. It is a soft.stone coated over
with a hard mud shell. The shell has
l>een broken and the stone, somewhat tieshape
of an egg. ii loose in the shell
Anyone familiar with Indian relics can
see the curiosity upon our desk and try
his hand at guessing what it is or what
was the object in enclosing it in this
mud s-hell.
Convocation at Glenns.
Rev. S. It. Guiguard left for Glenn
Springs Tuesday, where he will spend
the remainder of the week. The occasion
of his visit is to attend the convocation
of the first district of the Episcopal
church. In connection with this occasion
the 50th anniversary of the ordination
of t ho venerable arch-deacon, Dr.
Jno. D. McCullough, will be celebrated.
Dr. McCullough was ordained at tlf.s
church 50 years ago, and has faithfully
served his charge ever since, being the
only rector the church has ever had since
his ordination. We wish for the good
Doctor many more years of ellicient service
in his master's vineyard.
The I<chr-Williams Co.
The Lehr-Williams Comedy Company
left Union Sunday after playing two
weeks in the opera house here. Their
last performance was "That precious

and has made friends in Union. Mr.
Uehr is a No. 1 comedian, and lie has
good sup|M>rt. They have some pood
specialties which are introduced between
acts. I.ittle Katie Williams, ten years
old, is one of the attractions, she never
fails to capture the audience with her
line singing. In bidding the audience
adieu Mr. Lehr expressed himself well
pleased with his reception in Union, and
promised to return this fall. They went
from here to Spartanburg, where they
will play under a tent.

A Correction.
In our issuo last week the types made
us say, in tliu interview with Mr. (i. (J.
Greer, that Gen. McGowan was killed
at Fredericksburg and Maxy Gregg win
promoted to his command. Of course
we rneut that Gen. Gregg was killed and
McGowan promoted. Theerroi escaped
us in huri iedly reading proofs to get to
press. Mr. Greer cilled our attention to
the error, and we offer the above explanation
for the oversight.
The above was written for our last
issue but was overlooked on account of
our being called horns to tin t>edside of
our sick little ones, whero we were detained
several days.
Do the I'cople Want Sewerage?
We understand that some inople are
signing the petition to call an election
for the putting in of a sewerage syst< m
and avowing their purpose, at the same
time, of working for the defeat of the
measure. This appears to us to bo
wholly inconsistent, if you arc not in
favor of the sewerage system at present,
don't sign the petition for the election, i
Where is the sense in assisting the town
to go to the ex|>ense of calling an election
when you l>elieve that the election will
not caAy, and proi>ose to do all in your
power to defeat the election?
We do not believe that an election for
a sewerage system can be c.irried at this (
time, and we believe it is-useless to call
tlie election for the purpose. We do
not believe the system would accomplish
the end aimed at, unless vertnallv every
property holder in the town should lie
forced to connect with the sewerage,
and when we begin counting the c<?sts
ot pipes, closets and the necessary apparatus,
the changing of and remodeling
of residences, to arrange for these
closets, and the cost of the connecting
pipes, and the cost of tapping, we tind
an enormous bill running up anywhere
from $")U to $100 and even more. We
can very readily see that \ cry few outside
of those in alliuent circumstauc- s
arc going to, or can afford to go lo litis
extra expense to connect with ilia sewerage,
to say nothing of the cost of putting
water into the houses. Water ot 1
necessity goes with theseAerage whether j
you need the water tor other purposes
or not.
What will be the result ? The wealthy
element will connect with the sewerage,
tints giving them every modern convenience
to lie found in tin; cities, and llie
small fry pay their pro-rata share of the
expense of these conveniences of which
they derive not the slightest benefit.
lint does it.accomplish the end aimed
at, viz. The removal of the stenches
that nightly assail the pedestrian upon
some of the streets of the town? These
unsavory tmells aie not usually met
with around tlie premises of the wealthy
element, those who would be likely to
immediately begin lho use of the sewerage,
then would the use of the sewerage
ny these people who always keep their
premises clean tend to remove the cause
of complaint. Xo, but. it would be a
great convenience to them, that is all.
Then how can the sewerage Vie effectual
as a sanitary measure? simply by putting
connecting pipes in all the houses. We
have shown that, on account <>i' the cost
of doing so, the masses of t!?? mii ill
property owners are not going to do it.
What next, then foico it upon them,
and if they cannot or will not pay for it
what will you do, there is nothing letL
but to confiscate the property. We
think this would likely raise a howl the
like of which has never been heard in
Union. We do not think the litn; is
ri.m .... II... I. ...... aillllnlaul I
111/^, Wl IIIU tW ? II OUIIIOJUIIIIJ V/iUHUtU H'li
to force a sewerage system. In fact we
we can not see that it isat all necessary for
the town to put one in for a number of
years yet. We areaheady pretty heavily
taxed and the sewerage can wait awhile.
We believe that there ought to he a
sewerage system for the factory and
knitting null hills, but we see nothing
wrong 1:1 those companies going ahead
and putting in a system at their own
expense, and derive the benefit from it
themselves, its they, and not the town,
need it. Again, it our wealthy citizens
think it so absolutely necessary to have
a sewerage system, so as to be strictly
up-to-date and quite city like, let them
form a slock company ayd put in the
system, allowing everyone so inclined to
take stock in the enterprise. This would
test the depth and strength of the senlitiment
in favor of the immediate need
of a sewerage system for the city of
Union.
We believe the evils complained of
are to he overcome and removed at far
les sexpeneo than a sewerage and this is
the remedy: Let the board of health
carefully inspect all premises at least
twice a month and see that they are
kept clean and no tilth allowed to accumulate;
see that lime tor disinfecting
purposes is kept at tvery residence.
We would also suggest that during an
epidemic each family be required to bum
sulphur occasionally in their residences,
as a germ exterminator.
We are conscieneious in these expressions
of opinion, and we think that our
past record as an advocate ot the upbuilding
ot' and pushing to the front our
little city, is suilieient to relieve us of
any charge of wishing to hold the town
back in any legitimate or necersary
measure looking to its onward march oi
prosjierity.
Our town is blessed with the best natural
drainage, possibly, of any town in
the up-country and with the necessary
precautionary measures, that should bs j
observed in every town, whether it b is
sewerage or not, wo think the ohj ;cti ? is
can be removed and that there is 11 > apparent
need for a sewerage system at
present.
As the above, is an expression of my
individual .sentiments it is published not
as an editorial, but a c antnuuic il'en
from one of the small fry tax payers.
