It would not surprise uk to see Editor Wallace add four more pages. vmmhbwmmr* A Southern negro attempted to hug aud kiss a white woman on the street in New York a few days aero, and it took Ote whole police force to pre\ent his being lj'uched. The negro was in the wrong pew. He should have first tried his hand nt the White House in Washington, whore he had reason to believe the color line was not so tightly drawn. Lkksvim.r, Nov. <>?The quietness of our town was broken today when it was learned that one of our leading 3'ourg men had b^en shot The unfortunate alTair happened about three miles west of this town and the result is that Hon. ^ J,. Asbill is lying in 0 critical condition at the point of death Mr. 0. \\ Sollee, of Hatesburg, did the shooting.

President Roosevelt, has deeided that a man who has jilted a girl, is not fit. to hold an honorable commission in the army. Good for R ?osevelt Lieut. Crawford, of the Spanish American war, made a creditable record in the army and was slated for appointment as second Lieutenant of infantry. It is reported that he jilted his sweet heart who lives in Chester, S. C. after all arrangments for the wedding had been made and many presents sent in, giving no good excuse for his action. The friends of the girl ment to work to stop his appointment, and Roosevelt has heeded their petition and refused to make the appointment, on the ground that lauh conduct is ungentlemanly and .contraify to the best interest of the service. Thi grounds are well taken. No man who will ^ilt. his alliance, .jvithout good cause should be allowed ?0 bold any position of honor or trtifcl. |>i Hung Chang, one of China's ?oo?t noted scholars, whose name is ' familiar to every American reader, is dead. Ho was without doubt the most famous Chinaman of modern times. He was born in the village Hwol Ting in the Yang-tse Valley, .near Nankin, in 1822. Ife was a very bright student from his youth up and gained the highest honors at various institutions of learning, and finally held the rnnat important off! re of trust .and responsibility in the Chinese empire, .Ho has traveled around the world and rna'H a tour of America, visiting a number of our largo cities as is well remembered, and left a very favorable impression on our people a? to h is intelligence and executive ! abilities. In bis death China has lost the greatest diplomat she lias produced in modern times. He died holding the greatest honors of his . , jUtion and limitless wealth. 1i > *4 I JOHN ROBINSON'S CIRCUS SATURDAY. If one can bo allowed to drawn conclusion from what he hears od every hand, wo should judge that everyone who can get here from r radius of 15 miles will be here Saturday to see John Robinson's circus. They are coming with their wives and children, their fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, cousins, uncles and aunts. In fact it is predicted that the largest crowd will he in Union Saturday that has been her in 15 years. It has been so long sine? a circus ha3 visited town that thpeople are litternlly hungry for th sight of one, and the John Robinson circus is too well known to require additional endorsement. If it is as i i in.'* ciu u? uiu 11 iN, you will be well paid for attending. We trust that everything will pass otT quietly and that there will bo no disturbance. Come to town for a good time, but let every one come with the determination of making it a day of pleasure, froo from drunken ness or disorderly conduct. That i< what we expect it to be, and we giv?* fair warning that order is going to b<> enforced and those who cotitempln'? a drunken carousal and intend to paint the town red?if there be an\ such, they will be summarily deal' with, and they will wish they "hadn't went." We hope there will be no disorderly conduct. Let's all try to make this a record day for Union in the matter of order and good behavior. EXTRAORDINARY OFFER.

One growing enemy to the count ry newspaper, says X< wspaperdom, isthe ofRceholding habit, or the wouldbe ofliceholding habit. Ir has spoiled the character of many papers. No editor who Is regarding his pap^r more a-a stopping stone to political preferment than as a sustaining business e.m maintain a proper independence and make his paper the success that it might otherwise be. It is apt to make him a follower of jnen rather than a promoter of ideas. To make a thorough success of a newspaper one must f<>r get self. He must boost his paper rather than making his paper boost him. The man should make his pap r j mi.J not his pap-r the man. (I ir bu.^'KJM w'iJ! be a business if we make it a business. r Right you are, brother, if you want to make a newspaper of your sheet, you must work for your papar, talk for your paper, love your paper next to your family. Full off your coat, roll up your sleeves and pull for the top of the ladder as if a thousand devils were after you. Snntuc Siftings.
