. L. . . iiermao urar wonmann, a noiea ex- ,
Columbia piorer and scientist, tells a remarkable
a for the gtory of bis capture and esoape from a
tribe of Bola Bola men in the wilds of |
. r ,)pn Africa. These people, says the Count,
oi uoene are remarkable in many ways, but most i
nver, Col- surprising is their great age, many living
om his old to be 150 yean old, although 100 to 125
datives and years is the average age. Our German
friend and his companion soon discovered 1
the cause of tlieir longevity. After two
is a mouse years they made their esoape, not, howor
is of a ever, until they had learned the secrets
n,n,i anA of these magnificently preserved people.
' how tbey prolong life, retain health, in
upon its fsot they have disoovered a veritable
trap in his fountain of youth. "Longavita" ad. in
another oolumo tells you all about It.
Real Estate Agency.
The newest enterprise for Union I*
the People's Ileal Estate Agency of
which Mr. S. Means Beaty and Dr. F.
C. Duke ate the promoters. They propose
buying and selling real estate, stocks ' (
and bonds. Tlieso young men are too
well known to our readeis to require 1
comment here. Sutllce it to say they
are men of excellent business qualillentious,
and busiuess entrusted to them
will receive prompt and careful attention. |
See their announcement on second page. |
A Popular Petition.
It will be remembered that The 1
Times suggested that a petition be cir- '
culated f?,r signatures requesting the ?
water works and electric light commis- 1
sioners to rut the electiic light dynamos i
all night. A petition to this effect was |
taken around Friday afternoon, by Dr.
J. H. Hamilton, to the business men of
the town and in the short space of two 1
an 1 one-half or three hours he had lit- I
erally tilled the available space on the I
four sheets and reported 100 names. lie ,
said he could have gottou 500 signatures
simply by presenting the petition, if lie
had move room on it. All that was
necessary was to slate the object. It I
was one of the most popular petitions i
ever circulated for signatures here.

MARBLE QUARRY IN CROSS KEYS. r.
ti
Bright Prospects for the Keys?An n
Inexhaustible Supply of the ft
Finest Marble Found on Mr. fi
Felix Gregory's Place. n
Mr. Editor: Your correspond nut. in ^
company with Messrs. B. G. Wilburu "
and L. J. Browning, visited the marble tl
quarry one mile and a half west of Cross c
Keys this morning. This quarry was ti
discovered about two years ago by Mr.
C. R. Prince and Mr. B. F. Himby, on
a place or plantation known as the G. P
Sanford Gregory place. At the death of 8
the said Mr. Gregory, this part of the g
estate, consisting of about 50 acres with h
the quarry, was awarded to Mr. G w
Felix Gregory, formerly of Cross Keys,
6. C., out who now is a resident of New 81
York city. A few days ago Mr. G. F. 8
Gregory came back to this state, em- tc
ployed a number of hands and in a short it
Lime has unearthed and brought to the
surface between eight or ten car loads of j:
as tine marble as can be found in any
state in the union. Jn conversation m
with Mr. Joe Smith, of Clinton, S. C , u
ei man of great experience in quarries w
Eind marble works, in fact has spent most jc
;>f his life in monumental work and E|
would be taken as authority in such mat- ,
ters, said that he had visited the Ten- K
nesaee quarries, also qnarries in the state Cl
of Georgia, but this surpasses anything h
he had ever seen in quality and quantity, a
The quarry is about nine miles to the y
nearest railroad point, it is surrounded
by the finest aud most picturesque farm J
lands in the South, is one of the most
healthful localities and when once de- ^
veloped this part of the state of South ir
Carolina could rightly be .called the i
garden spot of the South. It seems that ^
the cross that has so long held the keys
is about to be unlocked by one of our *
worthy young men who left us twenty tl
years ago. t<
It seems that progress is the watch it
word all along the line, and this new a
year together with the ushing in of the
new century, grand things are in store j
for us, and we hope our northern friends "
will hold up a short time on mill sites, ci
and make a thorough investigation of f<
what the God of nature has placed so ^
near our homes in this hill or mountain .1
of the purest marble. I say, and I voice
the sentiment of every man in this sec- ^
tion, success to you, our life long friend E
Gregory, may you be able to induce It
some of your Now York neighbors to jf
aid you in this laudible undertaking, and p
that you may live to see the home of
your birth blossom like a rose. Cross [j
Keys is proud of you; let us hear from "
you often. J
There was a very impressive memorial
service held at old Padgett's Creek on
yesterday, in memory of one whom all
loved, Miss Mattie Browning. ((The
world is better because she lived." An
essay was delivered by Mrs. R. M. Lee, 8
and I have the promise of a copy for the t
oolumns of the people's paper, The J
Union Times, for next week. 1

Reminiscences of the War.
From an old Virgiuia paper we
get tbe following:
4Oi Monday succediog tbe battle
ut Frederiektburg, Va.. the f derate
asked for and obtained a fljg of truce
lo collect and carry off their dead.
A9 soon as it was understood that this
was ihe case, there was a cessation cf
the previous incessant filing between
the skirmishers of both sides. Soon
the meu of both parlies began to lay
low 1 their arms and walk out iuto
die neutral ground between and talk
tnd Bwap newspapers, tobacco, coffee,
Ac. Then the lines grew more contused
and mixed, till at last there was
no eepiration between the advanced
Itnpa of hnlli nnrtipn
"About this time, one of our fellows,
i rough, wild looking specimen, with
bis toes out of his shoes, his busby
bair protruding from the topless crowu
>f his hat, ragged pauts and no coat,
with dingy, chocolate tint pervading
bis whole person, was rambling around
generally, with nothing to give but
ready to accept auytbiug from a news
paper to an overcoat. Presently he
spied a brand ne? Belgian musket
l>iug abandoned on the ground. This
was precisely the thing our Confer??rate
Adonis wanted to complete his
qnipment and costume; so he picks
t up and starts eff for his lines. Just
hen he was spied by a Yankee mej r
>n horeeback?a fellow got up iu the
righest style of military tailoring,
vlth a new coat and trapping, and
ibove all, a supurb pair of patent
e.ither boots. He rides up quickly
u 1 calls out rather sharply. 'Put
town that musket, sir you can't have
hat.' Our Brummell gives him au
rl rn ir i on rvlannn nf innn^nlifir
If Idv ^imuvv ?? luvuuuiiv^ Ull< t
naking no reply, pursues the even
enor of his way. Fretted that his
ippaarauce and authority should not
lave produced more effect upon sucli
i looking fellow, the Yankee rides
ip close to him and calls out very
surtly and sternly, "don't you know
ir, that you can't come within our
ines and carry off gnus under a fiig
if truce?" "Put it down, sir, and go
lack to your regiment." Tho "Coned"
looked up at him kindly and in
[uiringly, as if to be satisfied that he
naa in earnest, and shaking hi* lira 1
,t him but without even slackening
lis pace, cr weakening his hold on the
nusket, ooly replied: ' Never mind,
ir, I'll shoot you torn: rrow and get
hem boots."
Daring the winter of 186d part of
IcKiseick's cavalry, with some other
roops of Gdng's brigade, were tent
> Goochland C. H., Va., to meet a
aiding party of federals coming down
he James in rear of Richmond. ([

acall them now.) But among them
ras John Fowler, usually called by
ae nickname of "Johu Tip." They
let tho Yankees in a strong force and
aught as long as they could. At last
uding themselves outnumbered, and
early surrounded, they fell back cs
est they could. 8ome were already
ismounted and hai to take care <>f
tiemselves the best they oould. Of
ourse these were all capturod or
iken prisoners, but not until every
ffort to escape had beou made. Every
lace for hiding had been utilized,
ome bushes had been thrown in a
ully over which rand and sediment
ad partly washed, and underneath
ras a space sufficiently large for a
mall man to creep and draw his legs
fier him. John found this place and
)ok refuge in it, in the hope of escap
ig capture (as he had no way to
el out being surrounded on all sides
y the enemy.) The dismounted
ten were all captured and placed
nder guard. A Yankee came along
here John was enscoused and point
ig his carbine in his hiding place,
lid: "Come out of there Johnnie, I
new you was in there." John cime
rawliug out just as he went in (f >r
e could not well turn round) at d
larohed of! to the crowd of prigmers,
Vhen John got to his comrades he
ooke in a subdued tone and siid:
Boys, how in the devil did that
rankeo know mv name?" "He calbd
le Johnnie just like you fellows do."
'hose who managed to escape fell
ack to the reserve and overviewed

je prisoners were doubtless cou*
miplatiug a long time in some nonary
prison up north, the thunder of
