A new bank is to be organized and modern building is to be erected in a j convenient location on Main street. Tbe promoters are H. F. Arthur, Manager of The A. II. Foster Co.'s great store, T. C. lhinean, President of the I'nion and UulTalo Mills, and \V. I>. Arthur, City Treasurer and Wholesale Merchant. This is a powerful eomhi nation, ami the fact thai this new enterprise has this leverage behind it is u sntlicient guarantee that the business will he conducted upon business principles ami will he a success from tin* beginning. The name of the bank will be The People's Bank, ami this is what it is to he in fact as well as in name. The establishment of another hink in I'nion was thought to be necessary, from the fact that recently money seemed to be v? rv tight, ami in many instances people were unable to borrow money with the best collateral. The M. ami P. Bank for instance has g-.t their money loaned out to the amount of nearly ?200,OW or three times the amount of their capitalization. No one can attach any blame to the banks, they are carrying a heavy load, and of course feel that it is necessary to protect their regular customers. It is a situation that has naturally arisen as a consequence of the rapid industrial progress of the town of I'nion ami tli?? 1 lishmcnt of another hank has boon for some time considered a real necessity of the town. The object of the promoters of this ban!' is not to place large blocks ol stock with capitalists, but rather to place the stock with the people, and every man, farmer, laborer, lawyer, ,doctor, merchant, or planter, who has one hundred d liars or more, ! is invited to take stock in the now bank. < It will be a bank of the people, with J1 the people and for the people. The capital stock is to be Siin,uno, and the i ohjest will be to relieve the tightness of i the money situation, and lend money to all persons with good collateral, and, at a 'awful rate of interest. There is not the slightest feeling of antagonism to the present banks by the promoters of the new bank. It is simply an effort to meet the demands of the times. The i second bank of this town, that of Wm. ! j A. Nicholson & Son was established 1 some or more years ago. This was 1 done because it was felt that the in- 1 * tcrests <>f the town and tin* require- j! incuts of the people demanded it. It ! ' has continued to do a successful lmsi- 1 ness since it* establishment, thus justi-1 i - fving the enterprise, and demonstrating ' i the wisdom of its establishment. Now . lets lo >k at the situation. At that time ' the town of l'nion boasted of a popu- ' lation of 1 MHi inhabitants only. Not long afterwards the town began to ' awaken, imbued with the spirit of industry, our first industrial enterprise was the little l'nion (til mill, of which the late lamented Win. A Nicholson was the president, a few years later the l'nion Cotton Mill No. 1, was erected t with T. C. Ihinean as its president, ami !, an influx of population was a result. 11 Then followed tlie mammoth mill No.; 2, the Knitting mill and recently the Monarch Mill, the HufTalo mill, the 1 Kitrmtuvo (acloriuu, tliw IIu?.lu>.i.>J ji tory, the Carriage factory, the Harness j' factory the brick factory, and now j * comes the .KtnaCotton Mills, and thus < industry after industry has been spring-' ( ing up on every hamt ami the po mla-', tion has increased at an unprecedented i rate until l'nion can boast at least b.nno inhabitants, with every prospect favor- |] able for a continuation of this wonder- ' ful progress. Taking all this into consideration, it 1 would seem that the establishment of another bank would not only be a wise act upon the part of the promoters but will supply the' town with an institution the necessity of which was becoming urgent. We predict a successful business for this new bank from the start. The charter lias been applied for, the organization will be perfected at an early date. The board will decide upon one of the sites ill trinif n in I f )tn lillililimr will limrin lit ? # T?* '? ) *,,x /'* .1 .? ??? the earliest practical moment, it in pro- . posed if possible to have tlit* )>iiiI?Iinpr ready to begin business this fall. The hank will boe?ptippod with burglar proof vaults anil safety deposit boxes. The stock will he each and the terms of ; payment will he arranged to suit the' times. TIIK I'ltKSI I1KXT. Mr. B. Frank Arthur will he the president <?f the new hank. Mr. Arthur is one of Union's most prominent young business men, whose record is one to he proud of, and sets a shining example of what may he attained by a poor hoy, j hacked by honesty and integrity, and j an indomitable purpose of summouut- < ing the ditliculties encountered in his I path. K.ndowed with these qualities i any young man may safely calculate j that there is a place reserved for him at ! the top. The old adage, "a prophet is not without honor save at his own I home," does not apply in this case. Mr. B. Frank Arthur is the grandson i of Dr. .fas. II. I>ogan, who was in his j day one of Union county's most famous j financiers, and one of the most wealthy men in the upper counties, lie is the third son of B. F. Arthur, a prominent lawyer, who died in IM7t?. lie was clerk of the famous seccssional convention. B. F. Arthur was horn and reared Ill I num. i if in iruiy Hill i vt: aim i numanor born, llo began bis oibioation under that eminent schohir, now .finite 1). A. Townsend, under whom ho took a special course of mathematics. His next tutor was Rev. 11. (5. Clifford, IMi. I)., f>. I)., now the principal of the famous seminary for you no women. At the age of 14 years, he left school to accept a situation of clerk at the hardware store of J. II. Rodger, where he remained 4 years. During this time by j the closest economy, he managed to save up enough money to take a business course at Kastman liiisiness College, at Poughkepsie, N*. V. Finding that he had not sufficient money to complete the course and bring him home, he was forced to borrow the necesssary amount. Cpon his return he was employed as bookkeeper by his old employer .t. II. Rodger, which position lie neld for 2 years. lie then formed a partnership with \V. H. Sartor, under the tirm name of Sartor and Arthur, within four days after this business was formed they experienced a considerable std hack by being burned out, but these two determined young men were not to lie cast down by this ea'ainity, with what few goods they saved they opened up in a small warehouse on a hack street and continued business until the building burned could he rebuilt. They entered the new building, which is the one now occupied by Norman ik Mutphy, and did a successful business. In 1SS7 he engaged in the fertilizer business for tw j years, his progress has ever been onw'ard and upward. About this time lie was approached by ('apt. A. M. foster, that noted financier, who had watched this young man's progress, and bad noted his business (|ualilicaij<>ns, bis honesty, integrity, industrious spirit, his sobriety and up-right moral character, t?> take an interest in his business, tbut of the Foster, Wilkins w Co.. the largest business iu the tow, by hug odds. 1 le accepted, and iiere it nrght lie said under the excellent tutorship of ('apt. A. If. Foster, the practical I art of his financial education began, lie was an apt scholar and profited by bis op- j portunity to tlmioughtv familiarize j himself with the financial work of this largo concern, hater Wdkins drew out and the iirm was reorganized under tlie* linn name of A. II. Foster ik t'o., composed of A. II. Foster, I*. F. Arthurand (?eo. 11. f tctzel. Mr. Arthur was made the buyer and credit man. later the firm name was changed to the A. II. Foster ('o., and Mr. Arthur has since been general manager of the concern, which lias continued to grow and prosper under his management. This hu-incss, which i iriiieriy Unl pnneipailly a credit business, has been l?r<practical!y to a cash I) sis <iti<I the credit business is a secondary matter. The success that has hocn hainnicrcd out ot diflleeulties wherever encountered ; by tliis man is an evidence of the fact that the important ollicc of President of , this important new enterprise could not have been placed in better hands. Mr. Arthur is only dS years of age. All the other corporators are self-made men, who have struggled from the bottom up, never lagging and never hesitating when apparently insurmountahle ditliculties arose in their paths, 11 my are ail eminently (pialilied. business men, thoroughly edueated in that school t where * ach is put to the crucial tesi, ; and only tin' pure gold comes out with ] (lying colors?the school of experience. t Bench Warrants.

The esses had been so n tinned?they bad never been sworn before the Grand Jury and not mowing that they would be required to appear at this court without due act ice did not. go, and a bench warrant was issued for all of thorn, which saused some fun and a good deal of i uneasiness among the boys, all of whom would have gone willingly had they known they were wanted.

H-? was laroful and painstaking and enjoyed the confidence of his superiors and the esteem and respect of his subordinates. lie had ?i promising future before him. It is sad to see such a life suddenly cut ofTin early manhood, lie was apparently perfectly well and enjoying the best of health late Saturday afternoon. The writer met a nd spoke to him on the street at that time. lie died of congestion and cholera morbus. He had attended the ice cream festival Saturday night and partakeu of the cream. His remains were taken to Pacolet Tuesday for interment. Ho leaves a wife, three children and a large number of friends to mourn his departure. He was 2fi years of age. We extend sympathy to the bereaved ones. John wis one of our friends and we were shocked to learn of his sudden demise. I Dentil of Dr. J. M. P. Otts. Bonham, Texas.
