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."

little Miss. She is a pretty child and
has a very intelligent faoe. She in
the daughter of Mr. W. O. Counts,
formerls of Union, and foreman in
Thk Times office. She certainly has
unusual musical talent.
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.

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.
