J)on't let the BlueX mark hit your
paper. If you get so fur in arrears ,
that the Blue X mark appears on
your paper thp jig is up with you
until you waltz up to the captain's
office and settle up.
The State Dispensary Board seem
to be making extraordinary preparations
for a boozy Christmas for its
inhaitantu They have just purchased
six thousand barrels of the
various X's and about an equal number
of cases of the same.
The three ni ?st in lustrious rrx tube s
of the United States senate a;e Allison,
Oockrel and Morgan. They are all over
70 years of age. It, i* said that, any 01 e
of them can do more work than any two
of the younger senators. But they are
poor men and contracted the habit of
Hootlinpt tkofnre they wont, to the senate.
Jt would be a wise act for ev< ry j
one to come forward and pay their M
taxes before the first of January, ns >
it is very probable that, there will be ]
no extension of time this year. <
There Is no earthly excuse for an ex- 1
tension. If the people cannot pay
their taxes after such a year of prosperity
and good prices, they will
surely be in no better shape to pay
th >m one or two months hence. Pay
your taxes now und get it off your
mind.

lion. Jno. L. M. Irby died at his 1
home, in Laurens County, at 8 p. m , 1
Dec. 9th, from an attack of Bright's '
disease. His condition had been extremely
critical for several days, hut '
on account of his excellent physique
and extraordinarily strong constitu- '
tion, hopes were entertained of his |
final recovery, and the nnnounce- ^
inent that death had gained the victory
cast a pall of sadness over his 8
immediate section and was a shock to ^
the State at large.
John L. M. Irby was formerly a V
V
U. S. Sonator from Laurens County,
And was a very prominent figure in
the early days of political Reformers ?
and was recognized as one the foremost
leaders in that movement. lie U
was 40 years of age, and his has
been a remarkable career, lie was ^
one of the best organizers in the
state, and was recognized as a leader "
in all his politioal undertakings. He
was the motive power in the famous .
March convention of 1890, which n
st
nominated B. It. Tiliinan for Governol
or.
His death following so soon upon
the heels of that of G. Wash Shell, 1
another of the most prominent leadsrs
in the Reform movement, and
the author of the famous Shell man- ^
ifesto, is a considerable blow by the
fell destroyer, to the county in which
they lived, removing at almost a sir.trr
gle blow, the two most prominent
men within its borders. P?

bids for the $95,0t>0 40 year coupon
bonds, tho privilege of redeeming in
20 years reserved. There were nine
bids for the bonds opened, among
which were some very liberal oirers,
showing that Union's bonds are in
good demand. Mr. J. A. Sawyer,
attorney, representing Roby Robinson,
of Atlanta, Gu., was the successful
bidder. His otTer being $101.0.")100
for 4 per cents. 40 year coupon

after 20 years, and furnish the
lithographed bonds. Z his is a very
liberal otTer and Union is to be congratulated
upon tho fine deal made
by the city fathers, as there nro few
| towns in tho United States, under
100,000 inhabitants, that has ever
been able to place four per cents.
The premium amounts to $8G7.50.
The bids were mostly for 5's and G's. |
There being only 2 bids for Is.
Among the bidders present wore two
from Cincinnati, <)., one from Cleve-j
land, () , one fnvm Chicago, and one
from Atlanta, the other four being
by wire and letter. The gentlemen
present expressed their astonishment
at a town of Union's size securing 1
per cent., and that with a premium.
They said tint they are not aware of
but two towns under 100,000 inhabitants
in the United States hiving

council has saved to the town over

We call attention to the very strong
article on the first page by our j
Santue correspondent, Hey Denver,
lie is one of our most forceful writers, j
ind we are glad to have him join the ^
ranks, and stand by us in our fight |
igainst the evil practice of carrying j
iround upon the person, concealed
leadly weapons. He seems to be
jomewhat surprised that we have not
brought down the anthema of some
parties upon our heads, for the stand 1
ve have taken and the light we are I
rying to make against the pracitice. I1
!t has not been our purpose to make '
in attack upon individuals who are j i
'iolators of the law against carrjing| 1
leadly weapons concealed. Nor did '
re take the trouble to enquire as to j
rhether or no our ideas along this t

pened up against the carrying of {
oncealed weapons. That is not our (
lea of the way to run a newspaper. |c
>ur object Is first to arouse a healthy 1
ublic sentiment aguinst this evil and i
angerous practice, so that a man r
ho is carrying a pistol will honestly e
tel a conviction of doing wrong and t
> home and lay his pistol away, thus n
dding his person of the means of ?
aining his hands, in some moment
' sudden heat and passion, with the b
feblood of a fellow being, an act p
lat., in ninety nine cases in n bun- a
ed, would cause him to curse the a?
ly that ho began lugging a pistol u
ound upon his person. Show ine si
ie inan who has suddenly shot and d<
lied his fellow man. and I will show
tu one with a conscience luden with SI
ief and remorse that he has no tl
wer to shake from him. AVe say If
lied suddenly, because we do not' m
lieve one man in a thousand puts fe
4 pistol in his pocket, when he leaves j
\ room, with the deliberate inten
n of killing him a man before he
urns at noon or at night. Xo, not
none but the savage assassin cil
uld do such a thing. They, the

monster and devour him, boots and
all?if ho didn't have his gun. It is
truly shocking to live in daily dread
of these terrible emergencies. That
life must surely he one of misery indeed.
Our object, further, is to liavo tho
law so amended that tho possession
of a deadly weapon which it is possible
to conceal, be made a matter of
reord, and that a stiff tax be placed
upon the sale of the weapons, and
that a heavy penalty attnch to any
illegal sale or any failure to record
every weapon. That these records
be kept open to inspection. There
would not then he so many pistois
sold, and many others would bo left
\t home, and the terrible list of pistol
casualties would be greatly diminished.
Theso are the objects of our efforts
tnd we arc making tho elfort to have
emedied what we conceive to be a
jreat evil, and we shall strive to this
md with no ill feeling toward any
me. We did not take up this mater,
simply to givo it a rap and drop
t. That kind of thing has been caricd
on too long already. We are in
arnest about this matter and want
o see our legislators do something to
nake the law more effective, or wo
re going to know the reason why.
We respectfully request the memers
from Union, to give us an exression
of opinion upon the subject,
nd saj' if they will work for tho
nopnon or some measure or amendlent
looking to the more effective
rppression of the ever ready and
lUidly pocket pistol.
We hope the papers throughout the
[ate will get a like expression from
10 representatives of their counties,
other remedies than those we have
entioned will be better or more cfctive,
let's have thein.

the right man comes along with a subscription

unlimited capital for any kind of a in inufacturing

dillicult to lind "the right man".
"Thegieat need of the south to-day

out what they u ndei take. Perhaps
the technilogicai sehxds will in the

with executive ability. The supply
of such men at present liowe 'cr, is
