UNTON, S. C. S KPT KM ITER 1", 11)02
Our old friend Mr. Tlios. Roth Butler,
foxinerlv of I'nion but now of
GafTne'y, was the successful candidate
for Stale Senator from Cherokee
county, his adopted home.
We believe 1' ton holds the record
of having gal lv : 1 he total returns
from every l< \ ..! the county earlier
than any other county in the State,
With the possible exei-ptlon of Green,
wood, but it took hustling to do it.
McKi nicy memorial services were
held in many churches throughout
the land on Tuesday, September 1 1,
tliiQ hfti ncf H\n finch >i n nirr.rcovv r% f
murdered President. 'I'he services
included many <>f MoKinlev's favorite
hymns
We hoard a man remark, "Now
the excitement of the election is over
what will be the next t bint? on foot?
war?"
Wei! we hope rot. wo like a little
excitement but wo are l ot hankering
after a war to furnish it.
The Spartanburg don-- si tigu >- it
out that the result of the revr t election
puts in ofliee ten reformers and
nine conservatives. That is pretty
evenly divided, and every one ought
to be satistied. As it is a pretty fair
sign that factional lines have been
obliterated.
Our. how Governor in returning
thanks to the people of the State in
an open letter has the following to
say, which has the ring of true metal
about it. We hope to see a fine
record, without spot or blemish made
by our new Governor. We believe
he will bo the Governor of the whole
people^ bound to no man or set of
men by promises or factional ties,
ehould'jhe prove otherwise wo will be
sadly disappointed in the man :
"It is with a sense of profound
gratitude, mingled with an equal
sense pi the solemn responsibility
involved, that 1 tender you my heartfelt
thanks for your trust and confidence
?> has been evidenced by the
votes given me in the recent primary.
From otcry county and town, from
every precinct and hamlet, have I
been remembered with trust and
honor by my countrymen of our native
Slate. With appreciation far
too dv(Tp for speech, and with thanks
that come from my heart, 1 pledge
you agaij, by our sacred traditions
and glorious history, by all that we
hold dear, to do all in my power to
prove worthy of this great gift?the
confidence and trust of South Carolinians!"
I). O. Hkvvvaki).
We called attention two weeks ago
to the great need of more voting precincts
in our rapidly growing town,
and wt are glad to hear that our suggestion
has met with the universal
approval of all who have expressed
themselves. Some think two boxes
wouia very union relieve the situation,
while others think that we had
as well onco for all establish a box
for euoft> ward. We think that it
would be Just as well to fix a voting
place for each ward as it will come to
that sooner or later if our town continues
to develop and increase in pop
illation. And we see no reason why
it should not continue to grow.
We are not contentious, however,
as to the four, and will be satisfied
for the present if there are only two
voting places established. But it is
absolutely necessary to have at least
two. It iunreasonable to expect
the managers to pin down to the
laborious task of counting and recording
ballots from I o'clock p. m.
until f> or 0 o'clock the next morning,
without help, and volunteers for
such a job are pretty hard to find, at
least one experience seems to give
them all \liey want.

We call especial uUentiofi ?vf our
readers this week to the $ * :idvtfr?i
tisemjwit of Ut?
Compnry on our llrd p.. j. 1 his is
ut.e <<f the beat of tV.der e > that tho
youner m?u at the 1 ? ml 'f this concern
are up-to-date ousiness men.
I'luy have only been in Uuiona short
while, but by their tillable manner
and courteous treatment of their cuSt
tomers, they have already mado for
themselves an enviable roputation
and are coming to tho front with
seven-league strides. Their motto is
quick sales with a very c'ose margin
of profit on the best goods thut money
can buy In tholr line. They started
right by advertising their business as
soon as they opened up. The peopte.
saw their advertisement, went to see
them and they secured a customer
every time. Their business hns continued
to thrive ever since, until they
found it absolutely necessary to find
more roomy quarters, and rented the
large and commodious store room on
Main street formerly occupiqd by the
furcell Cash Co. They purchased a
large and well assorted stock of goods
which are coming in at such a rate as.
to soon fill even their new place. But
they are coming in by the case and
going out by the bundle in a very
satisfactory manner to the propri- j
etors. -Such hustling young men are j
a great acquisition to any community
and we wish them abundant success
in their business. They are as
clever and courteous young gentlemen
as we have sver mot and we aro
very glad indeed to have them with
us.
We are delighted with the news
that Mr. J. K. Norment has been
tendered the position of private secretary
to Governor elect. Hay ward.
No better nor popular man could
have been found in the State, and
while we have all confidence In Mr.
Meyward we feel that tho alfairs of
the State will be doubly safe when he
has so able an assistant.

NEW OFFICERS.
1'iiinu Comity Men Make Fine
Records in the County of
Their Adoption,.
Etta Jane, Sept, In.?As the election
has pa.s*cd oil' and 1 am again in
possession of my faculties, I propose to
give Tin: Times readers a few dots tint
1 think will most likely in ten si tliein.
Without doubt we had the most stirring
time?particularly in our county election?that
has ever occurred in Cherokee
county, and while several of too can
delates are (or were) formerly from
Union county 1 will speak of them septratcly
and individually:
Mr. W. Judson Sarratt, who was born
and reared in what is now Cherokee
county, is a son of the late Hon. A. A.
Sarratt, ex-representative of Union
county, headed the ticket for the House
of Representatives by a good majority
on the first ballot. lie will doubtless be
the youngest member of that body?being
I suppose only about 25 years old.
He has had excellent opportunities for
one of Ins age to prepare himself for the
duties he has assumed. His mother was .
Miss Pucolet. Walker?one of the noblest
ladies of the land?universally beloved
by all who kneA' her, and as one of my
neighbors put# it, she was a city of refuge
it>r tin* poor and n*edy,
Mr. J.i ii s 1,. Walker. ex-.echoo' commission-]
of Union county, who .dill
ive.s in the Union cutoff, and who for
good and solll :ic.it reasons opposed the
org-iiii/atio i of this new county, w s
elected ai ilie limt primary by a local illy
huge majority ' >< he olllce of ^up.ubitendeut
of K-lnca*ion. Mr. Walker is

him. He having s-*rv-d ihem four years
acceptably as school commissioner
Hon. .lames K. Webster, (lie present
I'r PPe .Judge, was u> !ect?d Uy a la'go
maj ? its- Mr. VV? hater is a son of Mr.
Noah NVeu.il i, and was lx?rn and reared
:u uhat is now krio*ti as the Timber
Kidge section of ill's county. He has
held the allien of l'robate lu-lge ever
since th organization of Cherokee
county and has leade a most acceptable
officer lie was admitted to the practice
of law about, 2"> years ago and lis
has been very successful in his calling.
For several y? tos be hell the otlicc ot

this year he had for his competitors
three of as good men its a>e in ciieroker
c-aiuty?or the State for that matter?
j?t la: wanted onlv about, fifty votes r?f
coining in on the first ballot. His sec
o id race was with Mr. \\r. II. Ron
who is one of the strongest men in t'j^
county and than whom no one is l>r i tHI
qualified to fill any office in the c\|Uuty
or State, l?e?ides, the social and4 financial
standing of his family made, him t,ba
more formidable rival.
Mr. William Wilks Thomas, a Santuc
boy, was re-elected to the office ot Sheriff.
Two strong men were his opponliia
Uwtoer iidjgiiuistration of the
iMfairasif the office Was uipe of his strongest
points, and he oagriell off the prbstbllr*
the tir* ballot by a^argu majority over'
both iiis opponents. Sheriff Thomas is
the son anil only child of Mr and Mra.
I). A. Thomas. He \\;ai> bom near Santuc,
in Union AiT.il 2S, iftbti*'
His mother was MMary Wilks. of
Baton ltouge, Chester county, who graduated
from the Limestone Female II
school in the class of ISJfi At the age
yteight years Sheriff ^uiis came with
his parents to Gaffuey City, where he
entered the Gaffuey "fMale anil Female
High Schools, and after finishing big
course there lie took up civil engineering
and worked on the ItBa ahd other lines
of railroad locating the line of the Augusta
Division of that sysleui. lie was
employed in Virginia. North Carolina
| and Kentucky in making surveys. Finally
he returned to Gaffaey and went,
into business as bcck-keeper in tire larve
mercantile establishment of N. "Lipscomb,
where he rcniained until he was
elected Sheriff in 13J3. Mr. Thomas,
;is most of our readers know, descended 1
from Revolutionary aucestry on both
sides and well has he maintained that
reputatiou throughout hie life so far jis I
know.
Our next man is tbrt of Seu?.u>r-elect.
Thomas Bothwell Butler, who is also a
Sautuc boy, born the same year as was
Shorill Thomas, to wit January 11, 1301>,
twelve miles below tJnlon, near Sautuc.
Ueiwaa reared on the farm until he
went to Uuion to live with his uncl'^,
ex-senator and Governor Thomas 1}.

by (Colonel Farley with the rank or j
Captain. He was tendered the position 1
of Referee i'n Bankruprcy bv Judge W.
H. Brawley, of the IJ. S. Court, for
Cherokee county, hut refused. He It? - i
served two terms as oouuty chaitm? p.
He headed the ticket for the IToihp o' '
Representatives in 1900, toceiving m
largest vote ever given any cauditate
with opposition up to that time in Cherokee
county. On ?he ftrst oi iast Jn.v

Waco, Texas. This year he has ne<-n I
elected Senator over the present Senator j
Hon. It C. Sarratt, who is a very strung
man with the people and who has held j
that olllce very acceptably for the pt^t
four years. The tight between thp<e j
two giants was no children's play. Kv?*r" I
inch of ground was 1 otly contested, 1
much more so than any contest of the I
kind that has ever l>een in this county :
before, lait the tone of Mr. Butler's j
card of thauks to the people show ,
that lie has nothing but goal will for |
those who opposed him
Finally by odds Mr. Butler's greatest I
conquest and victory as when he'
gained the heart and hand of Miss Annie l
\Vtu>?, under the sacred seal of matii- >
many to whom he was happily married j
a few years ago. She is the aecomplis!ltd
daughter of Mr. A. N. Wood, of !
(iaffiiev, and her high character and j
noble womanhood had no doubt much ;
.? do with the success of her huabmd. i
N'o man, who is a man at all, oau'fail J
with such a help mate as site is.
In conclusion I will speak of nn- y
other ex-Union county man, Hon. J. (
C. Otts, who likewise was in the race
for the House of Representatives, brA
was defeated at the polls. But, notwithstanding,
he gained for hirri8elf I
a decided victory and came 'jUt a'l
much stronger man with the people
thun when he entered the rac *. Even |
his opponents have expres ^d their
surprise-at his manly b earing and
the high tone in whijh h 4 conducted
his campaign. He stoc d squarely by
every Issue ho espous ^d and he has i
engrafted himself ^jrmly into the l
hearts of those who vrill hereafter be ,
compelled to iidm' t lnm as a man of
sterling qualities and invincible back- S
bone.
For our oth,er candidates I have i
nothing but. the kindest of words.
