UNION, S. C., AUGUST 8, 1902.
Wonder if Chicago isn't the place
where the Johnsons and Smiths came
from. An Inquisitive party has
looked up the matter and reports
that there ur.> 9,000 Johnsons, some
spelling it Johnstone, and -1,000
Smiths. Obhviffo certainly seems to
be headqunrt- -- at. least.
It is with sadness that we note in
The State the announcement of the
^/UI/I>V. -* ??Vy UUHCl l/IUM l/I U'lr
citizens will stand by Representative
Cooper and the law.?Clinton Gazette.
True it is very easy to understand
what element is in opposition to the
law. Let every true, law abiding
citizen stand by Cooper and hold up
his hands. He should be returned
by an overwhelming majority,
/*
death of Mr. 10. H. Aull, Jr., the 10year-old
son of the editor of the Newberry
Herald and News, and President
of the S. C. State Press Association.
Mr. Aull, Jr., was a most
exemplary and promising young man,
and our heartfelt sympathies go out
to the bereaved family in this hour
of sadness.
As an evidence that the law against
the pistol toting habit is going to be
enforced, in Union at least, we call
attention to the ordinance against
the carrying of tlie ordinary pistol
passed by the city council at their
last meeting. Let other towns pass
similar ordinances, and thus evidence
a disposition to enforce the
law and the obeying of the same will
follow naturally. Hurrah for Union,
she is a pace maker.
It now develops that the 75 per
cent, basis of assessment adopted
some weeks ago by the State Board
has been abandoned and the 60 per
cent, basis is to remain as to cotton
mills, oil mills and fertilizer factories.
The 75 per cent, basis would work a
hardship on several sections where
the assessment would have to be
raised. It was finally decided to
accept the returns of the county
board.
The initial number or The Atlanta
News, the new evenitfg Daily of Atlanta,
hus roached our sanctum. It
starts out with fair promises and we
hope its lifo will be of much longer
duration than the paper whose name
it adopts. It seems to have very
bright prospects judging from the
expressions of the prominent citizens
of Atlanta, and the extraordinary
subscription list with which it starts
oat and the very liberal advertising
patronage. It is to be an S-puge
paper, but its tirst issue is a 12-page
edition to accommodate its 10 columns
of advertising. It has one of
the (inest equipped plants in the
South. Its big perfecting three deck
press is a marvel for speed. Its capacity
being 25,000 per hour. John
Tomple Graves is its editor-in-chief,
one of the 'strongest editors in the
South. Wo wish the News much success.
COOPER AND THE PISTOL.
There is at work an undercurrent
composed of the lawless element exclusively,
to defeat and relegate
Representative Cooper of this ounty
for his having introduced and carried
through the legislature the now
pistol law. Now, this law. be it understood
is obnoxious to the lawless
classes only, and represontative
Cooper should by all means be upheld
and sustained and returned to
the legislature on his merits. This
antipopgun law is one of the best
regulations that ever graced the
pages of South Carolina's statuo
books and is already working out a
problem which for many years has
puzzled the lawabiding, peaceloving

PROTECT THE YOUNG MEN.
We would like to see a place of
recreation nnd amusement established
in town where the young men
could go and spend an hour or so
aft'-r business hours. Thero is a
reeling room here nov, it is true,'
wl* re they c.-:- ** ? ind -.,vn I .t i hour
rending good literature, but something
more is needed. The youthful
mind needs other diversion besides
reading. It seeks entertainment and
exercise. It strikes us that it would
bo an excellent idea to establish a
gymnasium room In connection with
the reading room, in which could he
found harmless games, and various
means of exercise and developing the
muscles, such as vaulting bars, hanging
ladder trapese, dumb bellB and
boxing gloves. If such a place were
established the young mon would
naturally turn to the place for a
pleasant evening, and the inclination
to loiter uround billiard and pool
tables and often much worse places,
spending their evonings would in
a measure bo removed. It is aH
natural for the young people to have
some kind of recreation and amusement
as it is for a duck to seek water,
it thorefore behooves the parents and
business mon of the city to see to it
that a place is furnishod that will
meet this demand. It strikes us that
it would be money well spent if the
business men and capitalists of our'
city would get together and deter
mine to establish ana equip sucn a
place. The majority of young men
are not naturally Inclined to voluntarily
go astray, but very few of them
can withstand the temptation of evil
associations. Shall we virtually
force them into these associations
simply by our failure to furnish them
something better?
It must be remembered that these
same young men are destined to take
our places in the future, that every
position of honor and trust is to be
filled by them. This being true,
should we not make an effort to throw
around this rising generation some
barriers against the encroaohment of
the evil one? We may be sure the
devil is not idle if we are negligent
and careless. He will use every
means to trip the young man, who,
without any help from the older ones,
must meet the temptations face to
face and struggle as best ho may,
alone and unaided, agains the machinations
of the enemy aud the
tempter. And how often is the struggle
a weak one of short duration, and
the young man falls, another easy
victim.
When once fallen the task of reform
is ten times moro herculean
than was the resistance ?of the temptations
of evil in the beginning. How
many of our young men and boys are
falling easy victims?
IT OUT mnnv n f Alir Iinoinoaa men
and capitalists would willingly entrust
young men with importaut
places of trust, with the handling of
their money, etc., if they knew the
young man was a habitual drinker,
or was constantly to be found in the
evening around a gaining table? It
may not be assuming too much to
say that very few business men of
experioneo would trust him if he
knew this. Still all of our business
men know there is no place of harmless
amusement and recreation furnished
these young men, and that
when business is over and the young
"men are through with their duties
for the day they are naturalj prey
and too often easy prey to the temptor.
Young men have often been heard
to remark in the evening after getting
oil from the duties of the day:
"I wish I had somewhere to go to
enjoy myself. I don't know what to
do with myself in the evening." Aro
wo not doing a dangerous thing to
allow this state of affairs to exist in
Union? Tho devil wants no easier
task than to capture just such a
young man pure in heart and noble
in principle," it may be, with high ambitions,
hut longing for some pleasant
place to spend a pleasant hour
socially. Many young men board
and have no home in the true sense
with us. Is it natural or reasonable
to suppose he is going from his place
of business to his room and stay there
idling until bedtime? Anyone with
ordinary sense knows that this can- 1
not be the case, and when it is the |
case there are possibly others present,
maybe the bottle, the cards and the
dice nro ready to hand and the devil
has his grip firmly on his victims.
We are making no charges of this ;
against any one, but mention it aim- !
ply to show how easy such could be ^
the case.
We hope our business men and j
men of means will think over this
matter and we trust they will see 1
I
their way clear to do somet
J
the young men. Wo cannc . t
to ignore the moral interest |
young men. They aro witl ) ." ir< o!

R. P. HARRY, Mgi
Santuc Notes.
Many of us are in sadness over the
death of Mr. T, L. Haraes, of Jonesville,
and Mr. Wm. Smith, of West
Springs. 1 was surpsised and grieved to
hear of the demise of these staunch men.
While living at a distance, being of no
relation, I feel it a personal loss, for
when I was in their communities, a CI
guest at their homes, I was shown the
greatest consideration, was treated so wc
kindly that I learned to love them as
men and regard them as among my best on
friends. Their families have my sympa- 1
thy for I know how to sympathize and aL1
can feel keeuly such a loss.
Mrs. Mary Ilerndon, of Yorkville, is
visiting her brother, Mr. J. McJ. Fant.
We are now getting very nice showers
and it is hoped will continue until the ?
land is well wet. Some small areas have
already had rain to wet land. ??1
It is the beginning of dog days and D"J
it rained. Is it possible we are to
have rain forty days and make us
say, "I wish it would quit raining." ha
I saw a negro some days ago devouring
a musk melon almost as an*
large as a nail key, and let me tell
you, when he left that place there rT
was only a pile of seed and rinds. J.
That was a case of going the "whole
hog."
Gambling is getting to be the all mmi
important thing about now, and a ^
crowd of negroes, specked with some \j
whites, can be seen constantly flow- V
ing into the place of rendezvous, not
caring for the ladies who pass along
the street, nor preachers who see
them, nor having any regards for the
susceptible boy.
