Free Deli very for Union. (i
The following letter which felly explains
itself has been sent to the Mayor
and Toatmaster of Union, and we trust
they will pot their shoulders to the
wheels at once and get up a petition to C
our representative in Congress, Hon. a
Joe Johnson, that will leave no doubt in ^
his mind as to whether or not the people
of Union want a free mall delivery ser- S
vice for the town of Union. Let a list *
be at once opened up in the Mayor's c
office and at the Poet Office requesting c
all in favor of free delivery to sign it. s
Mr. Johnson is always willing and ready f
to lend his aid^to anything oocking to the \
interests of his constituents and we
firmly believe be will get us free delivery ^
for Union. We want it and we want it e
bad, and we are going to try and get it. j
We can meet every requirement and
hate a surplus to spare. The letter is
follows: c
"Anoka, Minn, Jan. 13, 03. 6
Senate Bill 909 provides for the ex*
tension of free nail delivery service to c
all towns and cities where the post office 1
receipts are $5,000 or more or the pop- 1
ulation Is 6,000 or more, in which class is
your city. The bill passed the Senate last <
June and is now in Congressman Loud's 1
committee on poet offices and post roads. I
It will be reported out and become a law
if all the Congressmen who ought to be 1
Interested will iusist cm immediate action
so as to get the measure through
i the Ilouae prior to March 4, 1903, at
i which time Congress adjourns.
I suggest that the postmasters and
, mayors of towns Interested co-opetate,
and to that end I am sending this notice
to the 909 town to be affected.
The bill has the official endorsement
of the Poetmaster General, who, in his
report to the Senate committee, said,
the measure is meritorious in every particular.'
If you plan to do anything to help the
measure along, begin today. We have
only a little over a month in wbioh
to work.
Yours respectfully,
X. R. Hansojt, Mayor."

Ten Million Bale Crop. I
We have said all along we did not brieve
this crop M ould (XTe? d ten million
ales. The report of the chief statistian
t Washington, shows the crop, averging
600 pounds to the bale outside of
agglng, etc , to be on Dec. 13th, 1902,
,000,758. According to the estimates
f the ginuers and canvassing agents not
lore than 10 per eent. of the crop retained
to be ginned Doc. 13th. This
'onld make the crop total number of
ales about 9,995.000. Of this number
outh Carolina's portion is: Ginners,
,180; cotton glnued, 90 per cent, of the
pop, 861,939, leaving about 45,000 bales
> be giuned in the State after Dec. 13th.
jb the demand for cotton has steadily
icreased the last year we think cotton
tould have brought belter prices this
jar. But as usual the price is held
>wn ae much as possible until it gets
it of the hands of .the producer.

Mr. Golden Bentley died on Jan.
ith. He first had the grip and it
Bveloped into a case of pneumonia,
om whioh he only lived a few days,
tr. Bentley was an old soldier and
elonged to the Pea Ridge Co., 5th
egt., S. C. V. A good citizen and
n industrious citizen is gone. The
Id veterans are fast passing away, a
iw more years and they will all have
sssed over the river of death. He
laves several sons and danshtera
ho have the profoundest sympathy
f the whole community in their sad
ereavement. He was buried in the
Id family burying ground, near Mr.
!, V. Going's,
The weather continues foggy,
loudy and showery; very little outoor
worn has been done.
The^Ts?"i n cotton* some two weeks I
go cleaned np about all there was
ift between Kelton and Jonesville, I
on't know of a dozen bales left. Ald
the rise in cotton seed started the
irmer's wagons to rolling again and
rom what I can learn the seed is all
old that was for sale.
First ^quarterly "conference of the
[elton circuit was held at Foster's
'hapel on the 17th and 18th of Janury.
The Presiding Elder, Rev. J.
V. Kilgo, was present and preached
wo practical sermons; his sermon on
lunday was far above the average, I
rish that all the young people in the
ommunity, and the old ones too,
ould have heard It. Mr. Kilgo
tands in the front ranks of the
>reachers of* the R- f! O.nn
Ve wish his visits oould be oftener.
Rev. Mr. Best filled his regular ap>ointments
last Sunday morning and
ivening at Wesley Chapel and Flat
lock churches.
The Kelton school under the care
if Miss Alcy Wood, the McGowan
ichool by Miss Kate Summer and the
VCt. Joy school by Miss Osborne are

adles are giving the patrons faithful
vork.
There is no soffous sickness in our
sommunlty as I hear of, although
Or. L. J. Wood is kept busy as he
las a large territory to praotice in.
Mr. Sam Garner had the misfortune
to lose a fine mule some two
weeks ago; it is a heavy loss to lose
i good mule now, for mules are high.
His friends have aided him some,
which is right, a little from many
will hardly be missed and will do him
a great deal of good, and best of all it
shows a good spirit In the hearts of
the people. Mr. Oarner is comparatively
a young man, industrious and
well liked by all who know him. He
Is h son of Charley Garner, who was
a member of Macbeth Light Artillery
and is now perfectly helpless; he had
a stroke of naralvala
twelve ago, since then he has never
been able to walk. (
Mr. Editor, I enjoy reading the letters
from ail your correspondents,
and hope they will write regular. I
heard an old Union bounty man say
not a great while ago ! who now Uvea
in another Co.,that tty first thing he
looked for when he sot The Times
was a letter from hla c d community
and if there was none he was much
diasppolnted. So let i s have a correspondent
from every community
for the dear old Times.
