UNION, 8. C., JULY 11, 1902.
On account f the rapid recovery
of King Edwnr 1 which has been going
on for the last ten days it has been
decided .to h ive the coronation take
place soon. H is to be crowned between
the llll. ir,d 15th of August.
Columbia n is g me to work in earnest
in an effort fo stamp out the
gambling dens of that city. A mass
meeting was held .Monday evening
at which many hundreds were present,
the sentiment expressed was of
no uncertain natuc^ and evidenced
the fact that the good people of the
city had entered this light in earnest
unrt rllfl nnl nnrnnan lott.ino mi until
the end.nimed at was accomplished.
We wish them God speed in their
efforts.
There is an effort on foot to establish
another beer dispensary in the
town of Union, and a petition is being
circulated for signatures with
that end ih view. If ther" is ?:~>y
need for any more est lhlUhmonts ir>
Union where intoxicants are to be
Bold we cannot see it. We are not
posted as to the absolute needs of the
community along this line, but looking
at it from a moral point of view,
we must couclude that the fewer tlie
number the better for the community,
and especially for the rising generation.
The Atldnta News is the name of a i
new daily soon to he started in Atlanta,
Ga. John Temple Graves is
to be editor-in-chief, Charles Daniel
managing editor, and J. Frank li. ok
business manager. If it proves to bias
warm a member as the \liar. 1 a j
daily news of a year ago, it will make j
the other Atlanta naners tin snmr> I
extrajhustling. John Temples Graves
is well known to the newspaper world,
also Charles Daniel. We wish the
News success.
Huh Evans spanked the editor of
the Greenville News Monday evening
in front, of the News office. The
News had published an artiole over a j
nom de plume charging Evans with
bei ng the recipient of presents, etc , I
and growing rich on account of his
position on the State Dispensary
Board. Evans demanded the author.
Editor ttlackraan refused and said ho j
was responsible for the article, where- i
upon that terriblo left fist of Ilubi
Evans' Hew out and landed upon the
* face of Blacktnan tind of course ho
lay sprawling on the street. Hub
thon picked him up and laying him
across his lap spanked him soundly.
He put up $10 for his appearance.
The News will hardly tackle Evans'
charaetor again without positive
proof.
"It ill becomes Mr. Bryan to attack
Mr. Cleveland. Mr. Cleveland
has done what no other Democrat
has done in many years. He has led
the Democratic hosts of the United
States to victory twice, while Mr.
Bryan has led the saino people to defeat
tho saino number of times. The
people of the United States will not
Atfind for khe r?ri riei r?li?n r?nnianii( (ul
by Mr. Bryan, and there is no getting
around this. Wo need something
entirely different from what
Mr. Bryan has given ns. Tho Pernocratlc
party could, in our opinion,
win with Mr. Cleveland leading tho
party ticket, and this is the mun we
want."?Anderson Intelligencer.
Yes, and it is more than prbablo
that if Bryan had made terms with
the trusts and monopolies and money
Kings, as Cleveland has been suspected
if not charged with doing, ho.
too could have occupied the President's
chair. It is much more noblo
to go down in defeat with honor
and a stainless character than to sc- 1
cure the highest honor within the
gift of the people hy questionable

ye lious keepers. fermort and on- |

incut? The "Society" fun ml i> the *
bo: e of contention referred .o at, ?ve.
The negroes very widely h "e band- .
cd themselves together for mutual
assistance during sickness, thus in- j
suring themselves the attendance of ^
a doctor and a respectable funeral at f
dentil attended by-A7.r. the members. c
N'ov; ir is all rigid for them to pay In
thoir twenty-five cents per month *
and to havo nil necessary rules for ^
the enforcement of the collec- r
tion of the same, but to require all ?
THE MKMHEKS, W'tll or Without ft gOOtl J
excuse, to attend every funeral is i
wrong. ?
All the negroes are hired for wages, 1
some by the day but most by the ?
month, and their time belongs to i
their employer. Whenever one of j
their members dies tho servant does (
not ask permission to attend the (
funeral of their fellow member, but f
tells their employer that John or F
Sallie is dead and if they do not at- t
tend they will be fined $1.00; this is 1
simply serving their employer with *
notice that they are going as no one j
cares to havo them lined so excess- <
Ively, and whether it is convenient '
oi not they go. >
,',Tho rule is rediculous not only on <
the grounds that their time belongs !
to their employer but that they are ^
also under obligations to their em- i
ployer for giving them work and 1
should consult his convenience in J
getting oil, and if it is not perfectly i
satisfactory to give them the time
to attend the funernl they should '
stick t-i their work and tell tlie ;
society that they had sold their time 1
and and it was required of them ftH| !
this should be a reasonable excuse!: ,
Wo call upon the loaders of.thii >
negroes in town to see what oafla . bJ| '
be done by their societies in modify1 ]
ing this rule so as to allow some ex-^ 1
cubw for nonattendanco at funerals] 1
and shall wait a reasonable time for ,
soio? notion before calling on the em- 1
ployers i<> loree employees who he- i
I >ng to societies to observe the same j
rules and regulations as required by ?.
others. <
We have been approached by j
several and asked to aggitate this j
question but we think our colored 1
friends should be given the privilege '
of correcting their mistakes thern- j
selves before trying any plan of co- <
orcion. 1

We arc very glad indeed to hear '
that the merchants of Clinton have ,
at last loomed tho importance of ad i

good example set by the hustling ,

in the lead, not following. | ,

When the lifeless form of the great'
commander was placed in state in the '
Capitol of a hopeful young nation, Ihous- j
iinds streamed through the Capitol to 1
mourn afresh at the sight of the lifeless j
body of him whom they had honored j
without seeing and loved without knowing.
Deep iu love and affection of the 1
ariny of Northern Virginia, Jackson i
found his last resting place. Coving,

four long years demonstrated to tiie!
world the kind of blood that coursed |
through the veins of South Carolinians:
when the old Palmetto Kegimeut

placed our tlag upon it;.that man whose 1
sword at the call of his country 1-uped j
from its scaltbard, nor was sheathi d'

was bleeding beneath the oppression of 1
Federal bayonets, marched to the front j

rule and Scalawag government, and \
placed upon the banners of a grand free I, .
people, the glorious insignia, "wlhu* ,
lupremucy and Anglo-Saxon rice for, J j
