It is said that the brain of the
white man exceeds that of the negro
by ten ounces in weight, just about
as much as the brain of the negro
exceeds that of the gorill?.
We take this method of acknowledging
the many words and expressions
of endorsement received verbally
and through the mails from the
readers of Tin-: Times, commending
our editorials on the social equality
question.
Failing to get his appointment of
the negro Crum as collector of the
port of Charleston endorsed by the
committee, Roosevelt has determined
to appoint Crum during the
recess of Congress. It is reported
that a number of white men have applied
to position under Crum. Turn
on the light and let it be known who
these white men are.
Plato, in his etrort3 to establish an
ideal republic, proposed to put a
heavy tax upon men who would not
marry, and in Rome during the time
of Augustus, certain penalties were
attached to bachelorhood, and in
later times several States have considered
bills for taxining bachelors,
despite all this there appears to be a
steady decrease in marriages. Why
not put a tax. on spinsters nr.d t*( o
how that would' work. The man
can't if the woman won't inarry.
The press of tbo country, East,
West, South and Xorth are full of

ever was a man twho has climbed to
fame over apparently insurmountable
obstacles in his path, encountering
at every step the most bitter and
persistent opposition of powerful
forces, that man is Benjamin R. Tillman.
lie has literally hammered
his success and fame from tool steel,
which makes it only the more bright
and enduring. There are nothing
but words of praise for Tillman now.
We would like to see him occupy the
President's chair.
Trust, trust, trust, it seems there
is no end of trusts, the latest is another
packing trust. The leading meat
packing houses have entered into a
combination this week Jto be known
as the National Packing Company
with a capital of fifteen million dollars.
This means that moat is going
to remain way up in G. and possibly
reach high C. There is only one remedy,
farmer friends, raise your own
hogs, When the trusts gets a grip
the pigs must squeal, but it will pay
you to have possession of the squeal
rr. If you can't find any pigs send
olT and order some. We must begin
to raise hogs again in this country
nnd the sooner it is begun the better
for all concerned at this end of the
line. Mark the prediction, if you
don't raise hogs you will wish you
liad.
W. J. Bryan has declined to attend
the Democratic club's harmony
dinner on April '27th at Brooklyn,
becauso Cleveland will bo there.
Bryan is right, thero is nothing to be
gained by forcing these two men together.
Vou had as well try to
mix oil and water as try to
mix Jiryan and Cleveland. There
can bo no friendly feeling between
them and the bringing of them
together could only cast a damper on
the gathering. Jiryan may bo in the
wrong for his persistent bitter attacks
on Cleveland as wo consider
Cleveland a dead duck politically,
and the attack is a waste of air.muni- ,
tion, but wo ad mine JJryan in declining
to mix up with litm. Jiryan is a j
Democrat, there's noN^ubhing that
out, while Cleveland Js^- well it j <
la hard to say just what h\is. 11
EFFECT OF A I
RURAL LIBRARY. ]
"Public School No. 2, Locke town- !
ship, Rowan county, North Carolina,
closed a four months' term on March I
loth. During tho term tho pupils
and patrons of that small school read 1
580 books. Children who wore indifferent
and not heretofore interested
in tho school rnado rapid progress
this year owing to tho influence of
tho rurul library established there
last fall under the provisions of tho
North Carolina Rural Library Law."
Union Graded School has opened
up a library that is destined to be
-
a great help to the scholars, only
good books that ten J to instruct and
elevate the mind of the pupil arc kept.
Many children will read, and if they
are not furnished with proper literature
they will drift into reading
trashy novels that will do their minds
more harm than good. Wo would
like to see a library established in
over^ school in Union county.

Sotn<* People arc Vrone to Criticise
Those Things They do not
Understand,
Editoh Times:
Mrs. Ward's clairvoyant readings
in The Times have elicited nmo com
mcnt and criticism from your readers.
I think it wiU help us all 'o lay aside
our preconceived notions of what the
Bible teaches rrd exaraino prayer
fully tho references cited in her reply
to J. M. W. S >me of us have been
taught that the age of prophecy passed
away wi'h the mosaic dispensation,
and the d \y tf miracles with the
Apostles. The Divine order ii: "To
lira hv faith aud not b7 siirht." It i.->
to be feared that, in this progressive
age, the order is being reversed aud
men are grasping for visible, material
thing?. It" so wo can re.dlly account
for the lack of miraculous pw: r
The heathen i lea of G >d *s cj: li ic-d
to the scop3 of the 1 atural vision
hence the c >s s'.ruc'i in of images of
wood, 6lone aud other viiible material
It is a sad fact that few, comparatively,
allow their thoughts t> reach b^joad
the verge of material things aud
contemplate tho power of the rajslerious
invisible forces God I1.13 ere
ated for man's u c and be.i'fi. All
power is vcs'el in these unseen fhrces.
This is apparent when we realize tha'
G ;d ij a ttrrit, in visible, yet omnip
otent, omuisceat and omnipreseut
The rniid controls the b dy. Thought
moves the universe, t avals through
ppace with a velocity that baill :3 com
putation. Thought, a substantive,
who can de.fiao it? What a debt of
gratitude we owe the eminent ecien
tis'.s whose thoughts have reached out
over the vssfc ccrao of mys'ery and
grasped tho unseen forces of nature,
utilizing them for tho benefit of man
kind. Tho commercial and relig:ous
wor <i nr.s neon, as it wero, transformed
through lbs iuflaencs of these
mighty forces. As to Spiritm' gifts,
Paul writing to the Corinthians encourages
thera to desire spiritml gifts,
nnniicg several, healing, niiiacle3,
prophecy, otc , ppeciaily commending
tho gift of prophecy. If the C iris
tians at C >rinth could obtain these
gifts, I would ask when and by what
authority have these gifts been with
held from christians since Paul's diy.
Well, what do you think of M-s.
Ward? I know no limit to tho pjwer
of the mind. I believe she can d>
what she claims to perform according
to the faith she possesses I believe
in healing the sick by psychic science
and laying on of hands. I d o not be
lievo such cures are the result of any
special gifts or p wor showered upon
a chosen few, but were brought about
by strict compliauco to certain psychic?laws
which are unerring aud
lasting, t s those of gravitation. Ilealing
by the laying on cf hands wis
common among tho Jews. Pa!din
me when I state I have performed
Dimerous cures, in thi3 way, during
the past two years, her.ee I kuow
whereof I write. Many things are
marvelous and mystericU3 in this p*o>
groosivs ago, yet i:i no wise miraculous.

SPRING CLEANING
IN SPARTANBURG.
Union Boy liny# "Knock Out"
Drops, But They Knocked. Hiui
Into n Ton fill Job?Personal
and Other Notes,
Spartanburg, S. C., March 23.
Editor Union Times:
I enjoy the letters from different 1
parts of the county and State, also
the letters from Texas, and it makes
me feel like some one of Tin: Times'
many readers will enjoy an occasional
letter from Spartanburg.
There is nothing of great interest
to write of now. I believe the most
sensational occurrence that happened
since Xrnas was the young Prof,
feasor killing one of his students at
Greers, in this county; it is doubly
sad on account of the prominence of
both families. 1
Itev. L. M. Roper, pastor of First i
Baptist church, who was elected
President of Furman University, will
not accept, and has decided to remain
with us as pastor and aid us in
erecting our new church which will |
begin this week. The building is to
cost ?40,000. i
There arc many handsome residences
going up all over the city.
One place deserves special mention,
the Winn Smith place, that not
many years ago was looked on as
almost out of town, is now cut up j
into wide streets, and many very <
costly residences are already thcro <
and many more going up. There is \
one that will soon he completed that j
is a curiosity for the town, it is
called a Bungalo. I will not try to \
describe it and just wait till the A litor
of Tin; Times ouncs up and I ]
will take him over and have him
write it up.
Well, opting is here in fill bloom, <

and I do be'icve they do ail this f

that was just what I wanted, away I

something to put me out of all the
trouble I was anticipating, but it

me to move everything in the center
