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.
