UXION, f. C., FEB. 28, 1902.
The State Legislature adjourned
last Saturday afternoon at 5 o'clock.
Thorn wArn nnlv n fAw niflmhers nrea
ent in either house.
Another lire occurred in Park Avenue,
New York, last Saturday, causing
the destruction of considerable
property and the loss of 18 lives.
This makes the third fire that has oceurred
in Park Avenue since January
1st. In which many lives were lost.
It seems our Christmas celebrations
in the fireworks line will hereafter
have to be handled without the
eannon cracker. A law has been
passed prohibiting the sale of these
crackers in this State?over three
inches in length. It is a good step.
These enormous crackers filled with
dynamite or some other powerful explosive,
were very dangerous.
In traveling through the country
upon various occasions we have noticed
thut there are a number of roads
branching out from each other that
have no sign board at the fork to direct
the traveler. We think this a
very important matter. There should
be a sign board at every one of these
forks. We think it would be a good
plan for the Supervisor to see to it
that his road overseers have these
beards put up.
On Monday, Senator Frye, President
pro tern, of the Senate, instructed
the clerk not to include the names
of Senators Tillman and McLaurin in
the morning's roll call. One of the
first things he did Tuesday morning
was to order the clerk to restore the
names of the two Senators to the
roll. He explains that he is desirous
f shifting the responsibility to the
flsnats.
McLaurin has demanded an investigation
of the charges against him
by Tillman, that he sold out to the
Republicans. jWe think that the
point has been reached where an investigation
should be had. There have
a -i- - ?
oean cnarges ana counter-charges between
these two Senators. Let the
fall light be turned on and if either
la found guilty let the axe fall and
hare It done with. The people are
tick and tired of this mud-slinglng
business,
The "Davidson Colloge Bulletin"
is the name of a new Journal that
has reached our desk. The Journal
has 20 pages inside the covers. It is
published by the college and will appear
monthly. It has a fine half
tone cut of tbe college building in its
initial numhftp Wa mioi.
. ? ? V# man IV OUUUCSSt
We think it would be a good idea for
>ery college or school of importance
to publish a monthly Journal. It
would tend to develop the literary
talent* of the students as nothing
else would. We believe it would be
a good plan for our graded school* in
Union to adopt.
There seems to be blood on th?
moon that hangs over the senatorial
- chamber in Washington. Now comet
a wrangle between the two Senaton
from Maryland. They did not go s* fai
mil * ? -
b unman ana McJ.ftnrin, but one oi
them tells the other that if he would
repeat his statements outside th?
Senate he would tell him that he
Otteva a cowardly and malicioui
falsehood, at this point he was called
down. What's the matter at Washington?
We suggest that referees
be appointed and admission eharged
and the floor be converted, for the
ttase being, into a regular prize ring
and let all those Senators so inelined
eerap it out to th?lr fnll satisfaction,
and get through with it. They may
then possibly be willing to transact
business, and let np on personalities.
I OBITUARIES.
We frequently hare obituaries sent
in with the request topless# publish.
If those contemplating writing obituaries
will look at the top of first column
on editorisl page they will see
that obituaries and tributes of respect
are charged for at half rates.
If you will count your lines after
writing it and multiply the number
by four you will come very near what
it will cost to have it published. It
Is rather] singular that very often
these requests come from those who
are not even subscribers to the paper,
accompanied by the request to
"pleas* send me half a dozen copies
of the paper containing this obituary."
They seem to think it is
conferring a faror on the paper to
send in an obituary, and we should
not only publish it gladly and without
charge but should gire the writer
as many oopies as ho may happen to
want besides. These people seem to
lose sight of the fact that our space
is our stock in trade and is a meaos
of winning our daily bread. And it
strikes us that they could with as
good grace step into a store and ask
that a sack of flower be sent around
to their home, gratis, because perchance,
the merchant has a big stock
of it on hand, and would like to get
rid of it. Yes, he wants to dispose
of his flour, so do we want to dispose
of a certain portion of our space but
wo wen w?ui> its equivalent in me
spondullx.
When a person dies, we willingly
make mention of it gratis in Thf.
Times, and if there has been any
record of a well spent life, or his life
' has been such as to set a good example
to others we giro him iull credit
for it, and often devote considerable
1 spaee to his demise. All this we do
without eharge. But here the matter
ends with us. Should the loving
relatives have some tribute to his
memory which they wish to have appear
in print so it may be preserved,
that is purely a matter of a personal
or family nature in which the readers
generally of the paper ara not concerned.
This being the case, it is no
more than reasonable that they
should pay for the space the article
occupies. We know that if any
* thinking person will stop for a ino[
ment to consider the matter they
i will see that we cannot afford to in,
sort these tributes of love and respect
to the memory of a departed one free
of charge. The Times is a newspaper
and endeavors to fill the space
left by our regular advertisers, with
' news. An obituary is not newe in
i any sense of the word, as nine times
i out of ten the notice of death has ap(
peare<f weeks previous. We caonot
be expected to be personally inter
ested in these articles neither are oui
1 readers, outside of the sorrowing
i family, and as we do not wish to of
*
, nuu *iij uue we nope you will remember
this; that your obituaries 01
tributes of respect, must be paid foi
to secure space in The Times.
We think Tillman's apology to the
Senate for his and McLaurin's fight
in the Senate Chamber was worse
than the offense so far as eur State
is concerned, when he said: "I had
never had any legislative experience
when I came here and my previous
service as Governor of South Carolina
for four years had unfitted me
in a measure to enter this august assembly
with that dignity and regard,
proper regard I will say, for its traditions
and habits and rules that is
desirable," was an outrageous insult
to the State of South Carolina, the
State,that has heaped its most choice
laurels upon him. It is a direct reflection
upon the highest and most
important office of the State, the
office of Governor. To attempt to
excuse his conduct in the Senate by
casting such a reflection upon the
State as the above, is inexcusable
and utterly without foundation.
What is there, we would like to inquire,
in the duties of the Governor
which would tend to unfit a man for
' 1 ? 1 * - " "
uuuuuuuug mmBeir as a high-toned
gentlemen, anywhere, and In any
aoolety, or assemblage, even in the
, august assembly referred to abore Y
I We art not so much surprised at him
, losing eontrol of his temper as we
, ate at his words of apology. Wonder
, what the listening senators thought
of Sonth Carolina, after the above
' delivery of one of her former Govl
ernors? It is fortunate that South
, Carolina had established an enviable
( record for the nobleness, bravery,
1 gallantry, perfect manners and gen1
tie breeding of her sons long before
i Tillman stepped upon the stage.
McLaurin in his apology states that
( he did not realize that he was in contempt
when he called his colleague a
' liar on the floor. We eertainly dei
plore the occurrence. They should
have curbed their temper until they
Cot on the outside, where they could
ave fought to their hearts' content,
while their humble constituents at
home would have applauded and exclaimed:
"Lay on Mao Duff and
damned be he whoflrsteriee enough."
???
Sociability a Christian Duty.
We hear a great deal about the
need of a re-statement of doctrinal
belief. The orltioal research and
fruits of scholarship in general lead
eorne to fear for the old faith and
doctrine. There is considerable noise
and not a great deal of sense in the
cry for a re-setting of doctrine. It
seems to me that the re-adjustment
of method, not doctrine, is what the
cause of Christ most needs. The
average church has coino to a dead
stop because it follows methods n
century old in its activities. We are
in the ruts, and woe be to that muu
who seeks to pull out of the ruts!
The fathers met once a month; an
old ba*n was good enough for them ;
they did not take up so many collections;
it was a pleasure to go to
church in the olden times?and it is
the old way that most people wish tc
walk in when it comes to these matters
of method. The old doctrines ol
Grace are just as potent today as evei

reotion of method. We are not keeping
touch with the people and with
each other. Old, fogy methods are
still in vogue among most congregations,
while the whole social and
economical life of the people has
changed. We preach about "the
masses" and vainly long to preach tc
"the masses;" what we must do is tc
go after "the masses." If wo do not
go after people we will never find
them. And it is needless to go aft-ei
them with a sanctimonious message
about a spiritual life of which you
are a good specimen ! You must gc
after men socially, physically, and in
that way you may hope to find them,
Through the physical you may hope
to reach the moral. To reverse the
process is to build the top of the
chimney before you lay the founda
tion. \nd unless I am woefully mistaken,
the method I am insisting
upon was the very method Jesus sel
up! This I hope to show as I gc
further in this discussion. Church
members must uubcnd, get oil theii
high perch and go about the saving oi
men through the method that Jesus
has taught. It is the individual aftei
i the individual, the personal touch,
the heart-beat responding to the
heart-beat that is to save this world
We must "break bread" with people ,
1 we must have peoplo "break bread'
with us, if we are to fulfil our mission,
There is no surer way to get intc
close touch with others; indeed, is
not this the only possible way? The
1 social needs of men and women,
young and old, must be met. The
social cravings must find satisfaction
in lawful channels or they will seek
satisfaction in unlawful ways. We
1 say to our young people: "Do not
dance, it is wicked ; do uot play cards,
it is wicked; do not gather about the
pool table or the gambling table,
these things are wicked." All well
' enough as far as it goes, but it does
not go far enough I We must not
only shut the door upon forbidden
' pleasures; we must also open the
1 door to lawful pleasures. What good is
1 there in the christian people of Union
1 preaching to young men upon the
' dangers of the pool room and the
gambling den while at the same time
they shut the doors of their homes
in the faces of these very young men,
We must warn as to these places of
danger, but let us also open our doore
' and offer a seat around our cheerful
fireside. It is not only the young
people that peed the inspiration and
gladness and diversion that christian
hospitality has to give. What a
i waking up we should see in our church
life if sociability were more manifest.
Our doors and our heurts must
be open. We must 6ay to our brethren,
sisters and friends: "Come in !"
We must say to the stranger: "Come
and eat with me." We must know
each other "through the breaking of
bread." Did you ever consider how
much this social idea entered into
the life of Jesus while he wasjen
'earth? His first miracle was wrought
at a marriage feast. Some festive
occasion forms the back ground for
many of his sweetest parables. The
Prodigal goes off to "be in want."
He comes home to eat "the fatted
calf." Many of the most touching
scenes in the Lord's life are brought
out in connection with some feast or
supper. Think of Jesus going home
with Zaccheus. And what a scene is
that of Jesus dining with Simon;
during the meal the woman that was
a sinner annoints his feet with oil and
wipes them with the hair of her head.
Think of Jobus at the home of Lazarus,
and the scene there?Mary sitting
at Jesus' feet, Martha troubled
about serving. Think of that last
supper in the upper room. And here
Jesus establishes a memorial. He
uses the bread and wine. "THU do
in remembrance of me.'' After the
Lord had arisen from t.h?
falls Id with the two disciples as they
are journeying along. They do not
know him. When they invite him in
he is ''known to them in the breaking
of bread." On the lake shore he
1 invites the disciples to come and eat
' the broiled fish. But why multiply
these incidents? There is a great
1 lesson here for us. Let us learn It.
This Is by no means all there is in
1 Christianity. This is but a side-view
1 of this glorious inheritance. But it
Is a fact that to under estimate tnis
factor is to do violence to the Christian
life and rob it of much of its effective*
ness among men.?The New Local
