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

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

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. The resolution was adopted with
one dissenting vote.
The meeting was a very interesting
one interspersed with some short speeches

MISS OAItNEIt WANTS TO HUN.
One of the features of the occasion
that wits not down in the original pro- _
cram was a communication from Miss
Eliza Garner announcing the fact tjiat *<
-he was des'rou* of once more becoming
a Candida'efor ihe< llice of Superintend- j
ent of Kducati ?n, and promising if ' j
elected to give a grea slice of the la'ary j of

that anjone who wished could vote for
her
Uncle Mike Lee immediately offered a
motion that the candidates known to In; \vs
111 the race be requested to withdraw
in favor of Miss Garner. 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.
S. {Senator and said he had a very kindly RE
feeling for Union people. He recalled
the fact that it was in this same court V\
home that ho had made his fl<~stannounceipent
for the race for Congress. j?i
He had no harsh words for any opponent j
He projiosed standing upon his own H
merits, had never in his life asked a w
man to vote for him. That was a right P
that belonged to the voter and he should h
cast his vote according to his judgmout i"
for the mqn Ije^t sqitcd foy tlie place. M
He touched bri? fly upon the ship subsidy ' J
bill and the Philippine question, pro litis-1 ('
ink to diwmss both during the campaigu 6
fullv. Called attention to the enormous
expense that the aimy was to the taxpayers,
millions of dollars more than the
people had any idea of, the detestiblo
methods of warfare our army is adopting
among these people. Mays the orders ,
have gone out from the general to'
slaughter every male person over ten
years of age whether a soldier or not.
The situation was horrible. These people
love their homes as we love oijra and
should be let alone to manage their own ' t
government. 1 )
