That South Carolina has an unenviable record for crime is attested by court dockets. During one week there were four white men killed by pistol balls in this State. That this record is scr.ously damaging the State, that bad us it is. it is being exaggerated so that m my good meu think that wo are uncivilized and that no man or woman is sale here, is a fact which is made uppari utevery time you tain, with one whose knowledge of South Carolina is confined to wnat ho reads in the papers. There is a remedy for this, a way to dispel such ideus. We muse beg.n at the bottom. We must make the carrying of u concealed weapon a felony. Give a man one year on the chain gang if he carries a pistol, and ten years if convicted of Having attempted the life of another with a weapon which lie carried concealed. , TnlS will show tnau cite seuiiuiuMu of the Stule is against tiie rowdies and bullies who make walking arsenals of themselves and pose as representative South Carolinians. ihen wo must go a step rurtner and quit allowing bail to murderers and tnen another step, by tnforei* g the laws we have against those who Ki 1 their fellow men. Until a healthy public sentiment is aroused and the poopl o rea lize tii.it it is safer to kill a man in South Carolina than elsewhere, that wo are behind the times in this regard, the world will continue to think that we hold human life too cheap.?Spartanburg Herald. ^Twiiwrrrrrng to DeTJrcsuIed, then put down the screws on the vioi it or in such a manner that he would as soon think of carrying a hot iron on his person as risking a second violation.

We cannot get additional mercantile establishments to n??? f trnron, hpirsi we can furnish them n hous- in which tod) business. There is not u vacant st)re room in the town, and we know tout if there were other buildings, that other merchants would come to Union to do business. We have before us a letter asking us to see if we can find a vacant store on Main street. The party says he wants to come to Union to do business. Wc had to reply that all buildings were occupied. Wo have no doubt the same inquiry has been made to other business men of the town from outsiders. The way to build up our t >wn is to continue to get ue.v blood into it. Let us leave no stone unturned to accomplish this. Let there be s>mo new store buddings built on some of the unsightly lots on Main street which now give the town a ragged appearance. The Social World, the new feature recently established in tlie Sunday issue of the News and Courier, is one of tho most attractive features ever startelin any metropolitan paper. The Society Nows is most thoroughly j covered in cvery city ana town in the State of any consequence. That feature alone is worth more than the yearly subscription to the Sunday edition. A w hole page of this news had to lie carried over lust Sunday to Mond ly's iaue. If the different clubs and societies will instruct their secretary or appoint some member at each me.ting to make a note of the meeting covering everything that takes place and send it in to the editor of This Timkh it will he reported to this department of the News iihd Courier in a regular weekly let ter.

They cure biliousness, jaundice, constipation and inactive liver, by arousing the secre. tions, nioying the bowels gently, yot edectually, and giving such tone and strength to the glands of the stomach, liver and bowels that the cause of the trouble is removed ontirely.
