FOR SALK?One Marble Imposing stone, size !1 x 6 foot, at a bargain, address Thk Union* Times. Pro'. W. B. Oranford, of Lockhnrt, is the agent and correspondent of I The Union Times at Lock hart, and has authority to receipt for subscriptions for The Times. Any item o' news of an interesting nature handed to him will bo appreciated by both himself and The Times. The editor of The Slate, X. 0 Gonzales, and the former editor of the Greenville News, A. B. Williams, show by controversy that they arc eottinsr hot under the collar, and a duel is hinted at very strongly. Keep cool gentlemen, the weather will soon be warm enough for blood heating purposes without any overexertion or excitement. Better order som? ice and cool oil before the trust sends up the price, its cheaper and more healthy and pleasant than thi-- apparent thirst (or each other's gore. We have a fine corps of correspondents, in fact we don't think any weekly paper in the State can boast of a more intelligent and lip-to date circle. As an evidence of the fact that they are strictly up-to-date Most of them are earnestly solicited to correspond for other papers. It looks like certain papers considei that we have the best in the neigh borhood, therefore they want them. We have no objection to any correspondent writing for any paper outside of this county, but request that they write exclusively for Thk Timvin Union. Of course it is very complimentary to Thk Ti.mks for its correspondents to be solicited to writ*by our local contemporary, but we prefer it otherwise. It is possible that by diligent search the other paper might iind souio one to write for it. Governor McSweeney, upon his return from the China maugu Unveil ing, will launch a aionnment lor tJitbetterment of the condition of th? public roads. Ho will arrange for tin assembling of County Commissioners. Mayors, Intcndcnte and citizen delegates from 1 lie \arious counties in a convention for the consideration of plans to promote the cause of good roads. The Stnto Geologist, of N'orlh and South Carolina also the good roads expert of Oleir-'on College will be asked to gi ve the convention tho benefit of their knowledge and txperienec. V/e are gitid to see the Governor arranging to take a hand in this all-important question of good roads. He never does things by halves and the faet that he decides to I. ike hold of it means that results will follow. William E Curtis upon his return from a recent, trip to S.inth Carolina, w. tc . n letter in the Chicago Herald givi ig his views regarding the M Caurn movement. He says that MoLaurin "is conspicuous for nothing He does not possess the qualifications necespnry for a louder of any great movement. He has not enlisted any important or iniluontial recruits," and that a serious blunder was made in offering "the post office at Columbia to Gen. Wade Hampton, who is the idol of the old Confederate element. It gave the Democratic newspapers an opportunity to attack the ir?# *1.1 VAfl f\t t.hh hAPCAnj i r? v ,i o.?.l '^ .1. they considered an attempt to b;-ibe the old veteran to join the new parly. Tho Charleston News and Courier and The Columbia State, the two most influential papers in S >uth 0 irohna ridicule the McLaurin movement, and while they have always objected t?? Tillman's personality, they admit tha' he has been a useful Senator a id has accomplished more practical re-" suits for South Carolina than any one they have ever had in Congress." Curtos ha* sifted tho matter down pretty line. Studies In Astronomy. A Study of the Important Planets as v;c Journey Onward, ip Making Our TRIP AROUND TME SUN SO RTil ro /, I-: SO V AS CHARTED.
