In its Atlanta special edition The
Southern and Western Textile Excel
siordidits self credit, and showed
Atlanta, and its groat sky-scrapers
up in fine shape. The press work
was unusually good.
We have on our desk the first issue
of the Semi-Weekly Newberry Observer.
It is a four column quarto
It is small but is neat in appearance
and make-up and convenient to
handle. It would not surprise uk to
see Editor Wallace add four more
pages.

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.
Both parties are highly connected
and the unfortunate aitair is deplored
by the entire community.?Chester

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

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.

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.
