This Head Camp embraces the States of Alabama. Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. 1 It will be remembered that Mr. Mosley > was connected with The Times several years ago. He made many friends during his stay in Union, all of whom were glad to see his pleasant countenance i once more in our' midst and give him a I hearty handshake. Mr. Mosley was impressed with the rapid development in the industrial and building lines siuce last lie was here. He says that Uir, mIngham, the magic city, is still continuing to grow at a very rapid rate, and that more new buildings are going up in 5 the city than at any time for several i years. Birmingham is rightly named 4 the magic city." We were very much pleased to have Mr. Moaley oall, and hope he will not make his visits so long 3 between in the future. He is getting - out a wide-a-wake t ewspaper, and we . are glad to learn that he is making a financial success of it. ' ? Wallace Sanders. Mr. Editor:?"In the midst of life \ we are in death." The least thing, less ] than the least thing, in the hand of God is enough to deprive us of life?whether 9 in the unimpaired vigor of youth, or t showered over in the heavy frost of age, ) we are alike liable to the sudden and unexpected stroke, mirth and madness, tears and triumph ; the holiday of youth or the apathy of age, pomp and poerty, rapture and anguish, so strangely * mingled in our path, should teach us the s moral of our being, Just a few days age '. I had a long talk with one of the noblesi v of young men, one that I couM alwayi rely on, one that loved me and one that e I loved, in the prime of life, full of fail '* hopes, full of energy, full of love for hit ^ dear mother and an mankind, one whc offered iris young life for his country shortly after the blowing up of tlx ig Maine.

It has quite an up j to-date appearance ami is chock full o r war news. Mr. Greer writes an artich for it, giving a fine account of the or ' ganizatinn of his company and ils em barkation aud trip to the Philippines We will reproduce it soon.

"Familiarity breeds contempt." Perhaps their own pill is too bitter for them. Kabbit gums are not only rabbit gums but I have heard of several o'p mum AA..-UI i- At at- J ? - uviug i-dugut in liiuui hi in winter, ana on one occasion a mink had to poke its offensive self into one. I learn that a dog was on a raid below here recently biting other dog*, bat they say it was not mad. The l?est dog law, with all strange and suspicious dogs, is a good shot gun properly used. L have become shy of meeting strauge dogs. I ran a risk not long ago. A negro man down here had the misfortune to cutoff two of his toes with an axe. An Axe is a biui tool to Dot. to foot. Mr. Godfrey B. Fowler, of Jonesville, came down to repair Jeter's mill, which temporarily broke down some time ago, and has been doing bad since, but Mr. Fowler will soon right it for he kuows how. There is no other mill round about that can make customers bettor meal. Everybody in this section misses this mill when there is a break down. 1 would like to throw out the hint tli.it a new dam is needed, for there will be grinding to do as long as people farm Things are not moving aiong in a uwithout-a-jai" way do.vn here, it rains very often, and while it is not hard rains it retards farm work. But we don't expect to have all fair weather so we should not begiu to grumble yet. There me some who waut to sow oats but the grouud does not get dry enough before it rains again. It has gotten to be very risky to put off sowing until after Christ mas, but around here it begins to look as ifjsome people won't sow ia rhe fall .-o their stock cautrampover the grain their neighbors sow. Fall oats, where they have not been appropriated for grazing lands, are looking very well. More than one town or city is not pleased with the census. Union has been doing a little bragging about her growth, but the census out her down a little. But perhaps her census enumerator was oaring only for the money he could make out of the job. 1 believe Uniou is bigger than he said site is. Kansas City, so reports say, lias 12,000 and over, more than the oeusos enumerator gave, That many were never visited by the census taker. If some cities and towns want it correct they will have to take their own census, I am thinking. Well, I see that the cotton mill in Charleston that was to be ruu by negro operatives has "broke," and will now be moved to Georgia and whites employed Was it mare than you expected? Anybody who ever noticed them on a farm knows that very few indeed can woik a machine. Many do not know how to plow right or run a cotton seed planter. A white man can make a smoother coti ton row with a hoe, can -cut a better ' stump with an axe, can do everything ! nicer, even to trimmiug a peg with a > pocket ki ife. 1 have noticed it and nevei 1 did think they could make profitable ? mill hands.
