Little Mamie Louise Counts. "She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Counts, and is a tiny little Miss, live years old and weighing 28 pounds. She has wonderful talent for music, and sings almost any popular song, after hearing it once. The little girl is well known by all the children, and grown folks, too, in the second and third wards, where she is a general favorite."

One Thousand Fish. Our friend Burtles lias just returned from a trip over in the Cross Keys section. We noticed that he was full, we don't mean full of the ardent, but we saw he hac^ b^en eating, and we judged from his Hah story that he was more full of yarn than he was of Ush even. lie solemnly stated that his i>arty had caught one thousand tlsh and four turtles. This beiu<z an unheard-of catch around these diggings, we asked bim to certify to that statement, and he immediately made the following affidavit: "I hereby certify to the best of my belief. we caugl\t one thousand fish or more yesterday, and did it without any Johnny Constant, and fed about 00 people. J. II. B., for truthfulness." It seems that a party bad long been contemplating draining of a pond on the Col. Coleman place, near Knoree, and a large crowd got together, among them several candidates, and they drained the pond, and had more fish than they knew what to do with. Mr. Barlles says the small ones were thrown luck to grow. Wonder if there are any more ponds to be drained off? We would like to get in on the ground ff K>r. Mr. George Fowler, who accompanied Mr. Bart lea, vouches for On; abqve, and adds that there was not a drop of liquor }n (he crowd; but several gallons or tine poflee antl a barrel of ioe water. He said the fish were ao plentiful that hundreds of small ones were scattered among the leaves. The table was piled a foot deep with tlsh. We heard of au instance once when a man told a great fish or snake story to another, who readily replied, yes, lam something of a liar, myself, and another instance where a man had listened to an Interesting ta'eofa great catch, and then remarked "there are others." The above does not apply to the case in hand, for we were particular to have this thing certified to, and there is nc going hack on that. Subscribe for The Times.

False Report Hailed. To Editor Union Timks: Dear Sir:?I have been informed that some person or persons have put in circulation a rumor to tho eifect that since I assumed charge of tho Supervisor's ofllco, that the county has become heavily involved in debt. Such statement is false. The county is over $4,000 in better shape now than when I took charge. The exact figures is as follows: Indebtedness wnen I took charge was $0,510.78. I have paid of this amount in 8 years $4,225.G(i, leaving a balanco to be 8tl 11 due of $1,824.12. The above are facts that cannot be disputed. Such rumor is put in circulation for a purpose. I do this in order to correct it, until I enter the campaign, when 1 will eudeavor to make mattors plain. Repectfully, T. J. Bktkxhauqh, Supervisor. Weekly Crop Bulletin. Columbia, S. C., Aug 7, 1000. There were medium to light showers during the first of the we^k, confined principally, but not altogether, to the southeastern and northwestern {Kirtions. The general absence of rain, the prevalence of drying winds, and the steady | high temperature were conditions detrimental to growing vegetation, except cotton, and the need of rain is again widespread, and in places urgent, espe daily for food and forage erops. Practically all crops have b?en laid by. Young corn is yet very promising, but will soon stand in need of rain. Fod lir pulling has generally begun over the eastern counties. There was a general improvement in the condition of cotton, especially in the eastern and western counties. Cotton is opening quite generally in the eastern counties, although pickiug Itas not begun. Peas continue to do well, but sorghum, sugar cane, sweet potatoes, and gardens are failing in places for want of moisture. There are large quantities of peaches ripening, but many are wormy and rot quickly.- The hay crod will be heavy in places. WILSON IN UNION. Correspondence Greenville News. Union, S. C., August 1.?The candidates, with the exception of Mr. MoSweeney, who went on to Columbia and a few who remained at a meeting in Spartanburg, arrived on the evening train from Spartanburg yesterday. An arrangement had l>een m ?d?? for for II.ui. Stinyam Wilson to in *?t the factory" operatives on the hill and address them last night. The news was spread abroad and Mr. Wilson addressed the crowd, which was a large one, for about an hour upon the questions of the d iy, giving a veiy succiuot resume of the work ho had done in the interest of the laboring class since be bad entered politic6; his light in the State for a reduction of hours to the ll-hour system; the opposilion he h id met v ith by the mail owners; bis light later in congress resisting the putting into the hands of that body the j>ower to legulate the hours of labor. lie showed where and how the South hail a great ad vantage over the North in the manufacture of cotton goods, and ad vised the laborers in the mills to roHit any outside interference in their affairs. He said there was no friction here between capital and labor, that everything was ha- moniously working together, and tint he hoped it would lw always thus; that the oiriy hoi?e the northerners had of successful competition with the southern mills was to cieate strife and discord between the operators and their employers. This they must energetically resist and their's would Ire a happy lot. He referred to the high character of the southern mill operators as compared with the same cf Europe which had been dumped on our shores and who had succeeded in pushing our own people out of the northern mills. We have not had Uuk element to conteud aiyl hoped we nover would, still thoy wore being dumped 011 oer shoe's by tl(o thousands, brought over in the hold* am) steerage of the ships as so many outtle. He had nothing to say against the better class of foreign immigrants;' they were a blessing and make good citizens and cast their lot with us; but had referred to (be lower ?lemont, and apprehended serious results from indiscriminate and unrestricted immigration. He also made a very comprehensive talk upon ill! truits, the pensions ami militurbiu. IIo showed that he was thoroughly p ?sted op>n the matters of interest sot la* public in the affairs of the government today. He paid a glowing tribute to Itryan and Stevenson, and said Mark Ilanna was the daddy of the i trusts. He ripped the Republican party up the luck and changed them with extravagance, in every tiling they touched. He said it was the party of trusts and i combines. The party protected the trusts and then whan the time came the i trusts would come down with their millions to keep their party in power. The > Standard Of. Company. Carnegie and the Cramps were large contributors. He was listened to with >he greatest interest and attention and was lieartily cheered at llw conclusion of his speech. & ? ? # ?
