The food products have advanced
wii
in price over last year on an average
of about twenty-five cents on the dol- ^
lar. This is good for the farmers who
have anything in the way of food
stuffs to sell. But it hard on the
qui
wage earner. Unless there is an ad- ^
vance of twenty-five cents on the dollar
in wages, the wage earner is worse ^
off this year than last. It will take ^
iuat that advance to put him where
. , Pe(
he was last year. 0

The laws restricting Chinese immi- km
gration is shown to be ineffectual by km
the fact that there are only 951,000 is <
registered Chinese in this o.oiintrv. sel
while the Treasury Department esti- kn
mates the actual number of Chinese of
In the United States at 5100,000. Over tin
two thirds of the Chinese in this sic
country have, therefore, evaded the mi
provisions of the present laws. Can- he

It appears that Senator Tillman
came out on top in the Manning .
meeting. Mr. Appelt was shown up in
a very ugly light. He could show ^
no proof of Mr. Tillman's having received
rebates on whiskey. It must
have been a bitter pill for a man to ?.(
have to admit that his numerous Insnuations
were based upon no defi- ^
nrtceVs which he had received from ..
Ill
Mr. Appelt which completely pat the
latter to rout. There is a good moral wj
lesson in this for all politicians, in- cr(
deed, all men. Be sure you can es- w(
tablish the truth of a charge against s0(
an opponent before you make it.
Reports from South Africa indi- m<
cate that the Transvaal Bopts are in Ini
favor of accepting the conditions offered
by the British. But Steyu and ou
his followers have shown no intention an
of accepting the terms offered. It is A
to be hoped that the whole South Af- aP'
rican trouble may soon be settled.

A ROAD TO INDEPENDENCE.
The Editor sympathizes with the
poor man, for he knows his tribulations
by experience; in fact has never
known any other experience. Moreover,
he is aware that perhaps the
first thing the reader will say will be:
"physician heal thyself." Neverthe.
less, be it said that the puor man is
responsible, in large degree, for his
poverty. There is hardly a day laborer,
to say nothing of others receiving
much larger remuneration
for their work, who might not reach a
sta|,e of comfortable independence if
he could be induced to make the necessary
effort, and worked in the right j
direction. You will see in this issue j
an advertisement nf nne of onr hanks i
in Union in which it is said that one
dollar placed in the bank each week
will result in the accumulation of
$508.41 in five years. It is doubtless
true that every worker in Union could
lay up that sum each woek. Think
of your.soda water, candy, tobacco,
cigars and many other equally unnecessary
expenses. One dollar
would not carry you half through a
week. But even in the matter of
food products most of us spend far
more than is necessary or good for us.
Delicacies were made for Kings and
like mortals as a means for meeting
out some of their punishment to them
in this life. And verily it comes to
pass that they receive it in large portions.
Good, wholesome food?the
very kind that is best for the strengthening
of the body is always comparatively
cheap. It is the nicknacks and
deserts and fancy frills that run up
the grocery bill. If these things added
to our welfare it would be a different
thine:. But such is not the
case. It is the temperate eater of
staple foods that gets the best results
in health, and that finds his miud
clear and most penetrating. If half the
people in Union were to cut down
| their living expenses one-half they
I would be in every way gainers. Besides
this, th<*se of us who are poor
spend more than we should upon our
backs. This may not be a very complimentary
thing to say, but it is
true. In the matter of dress as in
that of food, we spend too much.
Perhaps some man will say: "Whose
business is it. Have I not tho right
to do what I please?" Most assuredly.
But if you will pursue that
plan, cease your grumbling at hard

prosperous in worldly goods than
yourself. Choose the way to poverty,
live in that way. Xo one will interfere
with your plans. But it may
chance that your burial expenses may
have to be met by the public. In
any case, you are cheating yourself
out of that noble independence which
comes of being a capitalist, even if it

In the recent death of Frank R.
Stockton the English-speaking world
has met a great loss. Mr. Stockton's
kindly humor and his elevated literary
taste made him a writer that
pleased and at the same time, profited
the reader. His stories are singularly
free from impure and unwholesome
thoughts.
The Southern Baptist Convention
meets in Asheville ^ay 8th. This
will bo a good opportunity for many
of the Union county Baptists to attend.
Asheville is near, rates are
low and two trains [daily to and
from Asheville, are some of the inducements
which will appeal to those
interested.

Hon. J. Sterling Morton, Secretary
of Agriculture under Mr. Cleveland's
administration, died in Chicago, 111.,
April 27. He was a man endowed
with large intellect and possessed
great nobility of character.
The British government has im- .
posed a duty on imported wheat.
Last week the first cargo from the
United States paid $8,000. The duty
is imposed to raise revenue for the
expenses of the South African war.
England feels the heavy load and no
wonder.
West Indian day at the Charleston
Exposition promises to bo a great |
day. Great efforts are being put
forth to make it eclipse all other days, j
it is intended that plans be laid by
which the South and Southwest can j
secure a fair share of the trade with j
Cuba and Puerto Rico. It is also in- |
tended that plans bo perfected by
which new trade relations may be 3
opened up with these islands. It is ]
to be hoped that success may attend
these efforts. The South and Southwest
should naturally receive the "
lion's share.
