Yes, and aft1? initure consideration we would naturally come to the conclusion that your Uncle Pierpont is the whole push. The nimble-fingered pick-pocket wns in evidence in Spartanburg show day, and from reports must have done a thriving business. We saw fine young fellow anxiously inquiring for a policeman. When we asked him what lie wanted with a policeman lie replied, "I havo boon robbed of my pocket book and all my money. J think I have the fellow spotted if I <: ould li:ul i.n o nicer." W e don't know if lie ever found cither tlie officer or his money. That woman who deliberately w ilked ofT a train near Pelzer a few days tgo while it was running forty miles an hour, got up and wilkcd to her homo near by, accomplished a greater feat than i)ia\olo in looping the loop. If plie could do this regularly she would make Diavolo end hidare devil loop-the-loop act go way back and sit down. She would l>e a drawing cird, and as the Spartanburg.Journal says, pull Forepaugb fur a cool thousand n week. It may be some satisfaction to the farmers of South Carolina to know that the destructive Mexican cotton boll weevils brought to Newberry l?i Mr. J. H. Suber, <_-f Bryan, Texas lasfc weok, in a bottle, and ubou which snch a furor of excitement was raised from tho fi.-ar they might be turned loose in our State, have been burned publicly. They are now good and dead and no harm can come from them. It is not a good idea, however, to bring su :h d.-truitire agents bore, even as curiosities. The groat coal strike 1ms "at last b^on declared off, and the Union will tako cava of the miners who cannot at present get work. This is said to be the greatest contest ever waged between capital and labor. The matter wa3 by a unanimous vole of the representatives of the li7."0" mine workers lift to the arbitration comizi'tte appointed by President Itoo?ev It. This is welcome news to the puhlie and it is to bo imped that the committee will handle the matter with jjstica to both the mine cpernt -a and the miners.

Every voter should go to the ! ills and vote. Many may think ! he votes in the primary election set- i j led the question. Well, bo it did in j 1 sense. But you must remember j 'hat an effort is on foot in Washing on, engineered by tho Republicans to cut down our representation. They wish to' base the difierent States represeutation on its votiDg strength. They hope to clip oiT several of tho Southern representatives on account of the negro having, ia a measure, been removed from tho ballot box. No matter how strong a voto is cast in the primaries, this will not have any effect when the question cotnes up in Washington. It is tho voting strength shown in each Congressional district at the general election that is considered. It is therefore imperative that every voter in every Congressional district in Siutli Carolina should go to tho polls and cast his ballot on November 1th. Don't stay away from the polls and then set up a howl if our representation in Congress is cut down. Let Union county poll a larger vote ii possible than was cast at either primary. Tiir, violator* Of tim new pistol law Hml Better Beware?Spat tanburg is Another City That Has Evidenced the Intention to Strietlv Enforce the New La tv. Tlin r?lfv Oftiinnil * K ita ro.ml.ir meeting in tlie council chamber one day last week, passed an ordinance which will put the violators of the new pistol law to thinking. The council is determined to have the law enforced, and hereafter the individual caught carrying about his person any pistol less than twenty inches in lenglh and three pounds in weight shall be fined a sum not less than $.*)<> or mora than $100, or be <ent to the chaingang for not more than thirty days. The gentleman who was soaked in the mayor's court Saturday morning for .$.")(? or thirty days in the road improvement curriculum for carrying a pistol which was neither long enough nor heavy enough, took an expensive way of learning the law. A copy of one of the newspapers of this city would have cost him 5c and in it.he would have read the specifications for such armament as is permittod by the law to be carried during these days of deep and profound peace.? Spurtanburg Journal. A few of these kind of lessons wi'l have a healthy effect in putting a stop to the pistol toting practice. It is hard to make soma people under stand, bat it crn be done one way or another. Thoso who sneer tit the pistol law and don't think it is going to be enforced, had best keep their gun at home. They have only to keep their ears and eyes open to learn that it is the liveliest corpse extant, and is here for business. ANOTHER ShlGIIT J A R. "The only oth?r newspaper which we know has published "The Leopard's Spots" as a serial since it appeared in book fortn i.t the Atlanta Journal, and to be able to take rank with that metropolitan paper, we consider 110 small thing."?Union Progress. "Of course it is no small thing. Progress is always progressive and is constantly doing things no other paper, not even the Atlanta Journal, would attempt. If we remember jorreetly, Progress recently copyrighted the fact that a new mill was to 1>? built in Union county. Pretty soon vo' (Xpert to spo our enterprising neighbor have its special potographer smp shot some prominent citi/en of Uiron and by copyrighting the picture, defy the citizen aforesaid ever to have another picture takm without permission. Progress should not ho content to stand merely n t lie class of t he Atlanta Journal." ?Spartanburg Herald. The Railroad Commission of Kentucky complains to the Interstate commission that the Southern Railway, Atlantic Coasi Line, Louisville and Nashville and other roads have formed a combination to control all the railway traffic of Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, North and South Carolina, Virginia and Maryland. The capital of these roads roads amounts to at least one billion dollars an I it is all under the control of J. 1*. Morgan it Co., enabeling the roads to charge excessive freights and prevent all competition. Verily, this is a generation of trusts. Wo trust we will be allowed to breath freo air t. while longer at least, before a combination is formed t > corner it.

Woodruff, Oct. 19.?Last Friday evening, returning on the excursion from the circus in Spartanburg, John lvilgore shot his wife twice in the head and once iu the hand, and Will Childs once in tho face, the ball lodging in tho nose. None of the shots were serious. Dr. S. D. Parsons cut the balls out of the woman's head and Will Childs blew out the one from his nose. All the parties were negroes.
