The Board of Registration held forth in the court house Monday, and they were kept as busy as bees marly all day, judging from the anxiety of the people to secure registration certificates, we look for a heavy vote to be i>olUd in Union county .in November. Every white man should assure himself that his name is on^i club roll and that his registration ticket is in place. ? m Wan It You? We heard a good Joke on one of our pious candidates, who was at the rpcent speaking of the State campaign. When Tillman took his hand primary as to who was in favor of prohibition as against the present dispensary law. mis gentlenan's hand went up as high as his head, when lie suddenly discovered that certain eyes were upon him, and he used that particular hand to scratch his ear with. Was it youV. Picnic at Gibbes. The neighliorhood basket picnic at GibbesSaturday last was largely attended. Union was well represented and all report an excellent spread. One of the features was a base ball game between Gibbes and Sardis teams in the afternoon. After a hard and closely contested game Sardis won the victory, the score being H to 7 in favor of Sardis. The teams were neck and neck up to the Oth inning when the Sardis boys put on an extra spurt and took a long lead which thej successfully held to the finish. Lightning Plays Ha voc. We learn that while it was raining here Thursday week, the lighting was putting in its work up in the West Springs section, but there was no rain. At Mr. M. B. I^ee's place there is a very largp, tall popular standing near his spring 30 yards of his house, the lightning struck that tree, and ran down in two sections into the ground and to the rocks surrounding the spring exploding like dynamite, and tearing up the rocks around the spring leaving a hole in the rocks. Mrs. Lee was in her piaza at the time, and was shocked into unconsciousness for a few minutes. We are glad to soy no serious results have followpd A white oak standing near by was also struck jpd torn to pieces entirely. Two buckets of milk also a churn in the spring was not damaged. Mr. Lee's mule, whicli he was plowing near by, ran away witii him, but he finally stopped it without damage to either. Mr. Kobt. Prysoek's mule also ran away, and injured itself and Mr. Prysock slightly. . ? . Mayor's Court, There are some lively times in our Mayor's court sometimes. Tuesday there were several cafes of drunk, disorderly, etc., lip. Among them was a Jim Royal, a low country darkey, who had gotten into tiouble by refushing to smoke a cigar that had been ordered for him. It was a 5 center, he wanted a "two-fer" and refushed to have any other, the colored lady of the store ordered the store cleared out and claimed that James used violent language which he stoutly denied. His wife came to his rescue on the witness stand and proved to be a warm member as a witnets. llesult, James was discharged. Among tlie other cases tried were Sam Tucker, assault and battery and disororderly, $5.00 in each count or 10 days. Hussel Walker, colored, forfeited his $5.00. . Emma Garner $5.00 or ten days. I/ewis Crawfoid, $10.00 or 20 days. Glenn, Tucker and Flamming, gambling, $10.00 or 20 days for Tucker, second pffence, having only left the chain gang 'a week. $5.00 or 10 days for others. This trio was picked up in the famous j Ferrln's woods a few d ij s ago by officers May and Austell. They had to do some crawling to make the capture, but they bagged the game. George McMahan for selling liquor without license, in and around the pool room on the corner, ltepresented by B. F. Townsend. A. B. Burgess, Geo. ~?a t ^ ? - - namoi nuu .jhiuum varegory lesuneu to having gotten liquor of the blind tyger bi and from George, and that they had given him the money to get it at vaiious times. Townsend put up no testimony but moved to have the prisoner released upon the grounds: That the law required that the Clerk of the town be present and take evidence, that the Mayor could not try a man for selling liquor, and tliat a Mayor could not impose a tine and costs. All objections overruled and party fined $-20.00 and cost or 30 days. Warrant turned over to the Magistrate for further proceedings. ~ Home From Honeii Path, Mr. J.

Our little friend Crvstel llay. formerly of Union, now of Kissimee, Fla., contributes a very interesting write-up of a trip to the hostoric city of St. Augustine, Fla. With her letter she sends us an imprint of the coat of arms of Ferdinand and Isatol, the sovereigns of Oragon aud Castile, also a sprig of cedar taken from a tree at old "St. Mark" or Fort Marion, built four hundred years ago. These souvenirs are very much . appreciated. The ai tide referred to will . be found on page four, and will be found quite interesting. > Our Curio. Out of a dozen or more w ho have been in to examine the curious stone of which we made mention a few weeks ago, we have had no one to say they had ever seen anything similar to it until Mr. W. W. Kitchens, of Adamsburg, came in Monday to take a look at it. Ha says he has seen a large number of them in the Sand Ilills, of Kershaw county, and that there is a regular quarry . of these kind of stones with a shell over ' fPi i new. x ue quarry, na pays, is near the Ilig Timber Swamp, of Kershaw county. , The question of what causes such a foi- ' mation still remains a mystery, Overrun With Customers. We were asked by one of our advertisers who was advertising real estate business to please take his ad out awhile as he was getting more business as a result of the advertisement in The Timhs than he oould attend to, and he wanted to get a little time to catch up. How is that for an illustration of the value of Tiik Times ;is an advertising medium. The people read Tiik Times don't you '.oubt that for a moment, and they find everything in it. If you have anything you want to o ill to the attention of the tvople we will manage to find room lor your ad in The Times. Something Worth Remembering.

Scaift*, Marvin McNeace and Arthur Ix>ng left Sunday morning on the up train for Saluda, X. C., where they secured private conveyance and struck out for a two or three wick's iisliing and hunting expedition along the liver. They have tents, bedding, cooking utensils and provisions, also an oldexpeiienced colored cook who has had experience in the army as cook. The boys are anticipating a delightful trip, and we hope they will enjoy it to the fullest ' extent. They may go to other points among the mountains, Blowing liock among others. Roughing it among the mountains has its attractions, and we .vould like to be with them for a week i or ten days. I Reduced Rates. Montreal Bible Conference, Black Mountain, N.
