We loam that the recent hail (storms have seriously damaged the peach crop about Adamsburg, the fruit on one side of the trees being ^ beaten off badly. Corn and cotton is pretty well all in the ground in this section, very little if any yet to plant. The weather has been quite favorable for prosecuting farm work.

The Charleston Exposition will close June 1st, and all who wish to see the great show had best not put it of! much longer. There was an effort to have the Exposition extended through the month of June but the show will be closed June 1st. While in Dallas we called to see Mrs. Jack Horton who is originally from Union county, from the Brick Church section. She has been west twenty years and has been living in Dallas some fifteen years. Mr. Horton has a comfortable home in the suburbs of Dallas and is doing well. Prof. L.

May 22nd, Wagener day, Is expected to be the biggest day of the Charleston Exposition. Everyone should go. Mr. Wagener has been the moving spirit in pulling the Exposition to a success. He has been neither paring In his time or money, and this large attendance will be a recog nlzition of his valuable service by the people of the State. The traveling gang of safe blowers are again in evidence. On Monday night they entered the postofftce at Prosperity, S. C., and blew open the safe and secured about $800 in money and stamps. It seems that these people could be run down if a sharp lookout for the stolen stamps be kept up. They hardly have an extonsive correspondence enough to use all the stolen stamps, consequently they will sell them, otherwise they would have Fno need to steal them. Watch out for the man who wants to sell stampv, COlfNTY DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION. A Fall Delegation Present ?

In reply to n question of establishing more voting precincts in Union, the chair stated that the legislature has established two additional voting precincts for Union, one at Buffalo and one at Monarch. W. W. Doxon introduced a resolution to the effect that this County Democratic Convenveutiou endorse the action of B. It. Tillmau as Senator and a representative of the people and condemn the action of John L Mo Laurie in the Senate. The resolution was carried without a discenting vole. Ex-Sheriff J. G. Long introduced the following resolution which was carried: Resolved, That Union County Democratic Convention request the State Convention to revise the rules governing the primary and make them more stringent in reference to persons voting and require every voter to exhibit a registration certificate. excent thoso who will becomn t.f age before the next succeeding general election. The ^solution was opjiosod by W. W. Dixon, us he thought it a hardship upon the white voters, their names being on the Democratic club roll should t>e sufficient evidence of their qualification to vote. Mr. Long supported his resolution with a talk that carried the day. He said the primary was the important place, iporo uq thau the {Inal vote as there wore several times as many voting iu the primary, the time when the shaping of the policies and the chosing of the men H as there were at the general election which was nothing Sore than a 1 unification of the action of e primary and only a few took an active interest at that time, while the floating elomeit helped to shape our policy and no doubt at once drifted elsewhere to help do the same thing for possibly a drink of lojwkull whiskey. lie thought our primaries should have the safeguard of citizenship in the true meaning of the word thrown around them.

ITis 1>1 motion was ably seconded by Mr. Jerry Bennett with a speech eulogizing woman gf i from Adam's time down to the present time. He did not put much faith in W Eve's tempting Adam but said old Adam was as much into it as Eve ever was. pi Mr. Bennett's speech caused some merriment and he began to feel that he was at 8' a, and to feel he was the victim of ^1 a joke, so to assure hinr-elf he turned to Mr. Lee and demanded: "Did you make that motion as a joke or in earnest." The motion, however, was received as information. One of the features of the muting was I K two line speeches, one by Hon J J. Hemphill and one b' Mr. J. G. Long Mr. Hemphill announced h'mself for U.
