Did you know it Was against the town ordinance to ride on any side walk in town on Sunday? Well, it is, so you had best be careful. Tlio ordinance prohibits the riding of wheels on the side walk of Main street at any time; the riding on any side walk after sun down, or at any time on Sunday. Post the Streets. We rise to remark that we havo not heard of any move being made by the council to post our streets. This is something that we cousider a crying necessity of the town, and as we see no excuse for it not being done, we projrose to keep the subject warm until it isdonp. How many people in Union can nan\e the streets? Put up the sign boards, gentlemen, and we will let up. Gone to Anderson. Mr. C. II.

The candidates all returned to theii various homes Saturday night, and sjienl Sunday with their families, hut started out early Monday morning for anothe> week|of campaigning. Some of them are introducing a little ginger into the meet inps. We hope there will be no scrap ing, however. T,et Union ccnnty set an example for the State campaign ir morality. We understand that singiup is a feature that has lieen introduced into the meetings by some of the c.indi dates. We have "not heard whether the audience joins in the chorus or not "Little Jx>g Cabin," '-the Blue and the Gray," "Old Kentucky Home" and sucl like seem to be the favorite songs. Well, there is nothing wrong in that. Ilavt all the fun you can, boys, while you art out for when you are elected the fun stops. The Monarch Mill.

The mean temperature lor the Sulci was 87 degrees for the week ending 8 a. in. August 20th, and the normal lor the same period is 78 degrees. The higlie.it maximum ranged from 100 to 104 every day; the lowest minimum was 07 at Spartanburg on the 13tU. The drought was relieved in spots, nearly every county reported some tain, but over by far the greater portion of the Slate the rainfall was insulliciunl and many points had no rain. Where the rain was followed by bright sunshine, crops were scalded, and injured instead df benefitted.

In the Mayor's Court. Mr. V. E. DePa&s, acting Mayor in the absence of Mr. Young, waded into a heavy docket the first time lie presided which was last Monday night, but ho showed that lie was eminently qualified , . to discharge the duties of the office. We , were very favorable impressed with his method of conducting the court, and especially in his bilk to the prisoners and ' for the information of the large audier.ee present. lie defined the different offenses and what it took to constitute tie i same in a very able and comprehensive manner, and one could almost imagine he was listening to a judge in the higher court charging as to the law covering the cases. The most important case ' tried was HILL BEATY FOB LARCENY. There were three counts against him, larceny, disorderly conduct and resisting ' an otlicer. He was tiied first upon the ' charge of larceny, there being no evidence as to disorderly he was discharged upon ' that account. As to larceny and resist| ing an officer ho w-is found guilty out of bis own mouth and aenteuood u* ?? twenty days on larceny and $5 or ten days on resisting an officer. xl appears mat Deary was employed at Miller's stables last fall, and Mr. Mil. ler missed a nice set of harness. lie . could not locate them until last l'l i^.

Reaty endeavored to throw the theft , off on Griffin's boy, but convicted bim, self when he acknowledged dually under , the shrewd examination by the Mayor to | allowing the boy to take the harness away, and had not told Mr. Miller of it, > when he was questioned about the mat t r and acknowledged he had 110 authority , to let the harness out. It developed l h it . the boy did not take tin harness away but that Reaty had taken them oil' himj self and delivered them to the boy at the 5 oil mill where he was at work. It was very evident that the purchaser suspicioned that the harness ?v?n stolen though no evidence was introduced to prove it. Reaty was arrested at his hoinc and brought to the j-til yard where he eni' braced an opportunity and took leg bail. " lie was soon captured and incarcerated.
