"If pictures told the truth, How tine the world would be!" Yes and howdnssom) people would be; they would be as pretty as a [their] picture. Autumn is coming on apace, sure and soon will see 'the hectic Hush born alike on the maple and sumac leaf.' Possums, if let aloue will soon be fat and good as there are a lot of muscadines and persimmons, but the possums are being "pulled" too soon, before they are ripe. Mr. Gilliam Harvey while cleanining out a well on the Hick's place, recently got a perch Qsh, as long as one's hand, out of it. No one remembers ever putting it in. I did not see the Qsh, but was told this by a reliable man and the lish would have been sent to Tan Times otllce if they had thought of it. Deputy Sheriff Vincent aud Mr. W. W. Johnson were in Santuc Monday. Mr. Vincent was serving jury summons. I do not know how many he served here. I know he got one or two I wish he hadn't had to get. I see that Sheriff Sanders is going to close up Mr. W, O. Jeter's shop, soon, and Mr. Sanders and Mr. Jeter are ilrm friends. But let me explain. Both men who work in the shop have been summoned as jurors both for the same week. As the sheriff had to serve these summons, I say he is going to close up the shop. Do you see into itV I have a crow to pick with somebody, or I may be picked myself (or talking wrong. In my last letter, I told about some young ladies from here visiting over near Hebron; and some of the office boys made me say Daniel Merritt, when it was Miss Danie Merritt, but 1 put the Miss away off. Now she is not a man named Daniel, but a young lady, and I may as well face all danger, speak out and say a pretty one, too. But whore did you get that 1. Now I aua not at all angry, for mistakes will be made, and it may have been mine, but 1 hope not. No harm was done either way, only it did not appear to best advantage, as I wished it. That is all. Seed time and harvest are gelling-to be both on at the same time over on The works on Neal's Shoals. Sund ry night a man, at the hands of hi* comrade at the gambling table, was sent into eternity. About ten o'clock Sunday night a man, Taylor McCombs, of Henrietta, N. C., was shot to death by Hill Ash burfc, also of North Carolina, or on tire line of Georgia, (t is reported that they had been gambling at some of the little old buildlt gs stuck around and had passed son)e shots at each other, then McComb) went to a boarding house, was sitting by the light working ou his pistol when A8hurst came in and ordered him to but it down, Ibe former remarking, "if I have to, I will," laid it down and walked out, but Asburst went around the olhpt way, and meeting him, shot lum twin), killing him- At this time the murd'-rrr ?a still free and perhaps those over there will put forth ni> effort to capture him. The parties in the row were both white men, one I hear being a stone mason, who was the one killed, the other one worked with the machinery. Gambling and drinklug are froqi ' what we hear, a Sunday pastime over there. The colored Baptist Association was in set&ion about one mite out from Thursday to Sunday. A large number >f delegates wih present, ar nearly a ,wicked coacli was unloaded here Thurelay and afterwards nearly every day '.rain, especially the down trains brought in large numbers, until Sunday they outdid their doing, and a*>outa hundred got ff the early irorning train, and also that many or more off tho down wain. These I suppose wore Dot delegates but visitors. From early in the morning until high noon the roads pre ented almost, a continuous string of vesicles of every kind going to the church. Some people say there were .'1,000 when they passed the church, and others think lieie must have beeu 5,000 there Sunday. Dust was plentiful, the wind blew March like, ana with so much travel, one may be sure there was a cloud of lust., and some unpleasantless became of i. The colored folks had a big time at Iris- meeting, and a big Sunday. They ame from far and near. Recently a negro man was Eliot in the nead over at the dam, but this one only .jauglit the lead that was sent on a misdon for another buck, and that by a woman. A woman was shooting at a mm int. miociwl ??1 ... ntuj, nun anoiuor one was lying in his bed, all innocent, I suppose, md caught the ball square in the top of nis head. He was not however, badly injured. Constable Johns was sent over after the woman, but she gave him the dodge. She may be oue of those worthless incubus*?a loafing vagrant wh.? has been run from some city to keep off the cbaingang. Cotton is openitig fast, but the very best progress is not being made gathering it. The crop is short and on that farmers are disappointed, or rather down, as thev have been expecting it, md they are gettiug a little blue over the downward tendency of the price. The factories and so-called big men may say what they please about a big or full crop being made, but if it coines as near the reports, otherwise, of a short crop as Union County is, the farmers will need a good price to be able to pull through. I wish it was so farmers could, and they would, oease selling as soon as it went below ten cents. I have heard that a factory president at Union offered to bet that a bigger crop of cotton was Deing made in Urnon County than 9ver was made before. If he judged from viewing tho crops that I have leen, and really believes it, he hasn't jot cotton sense sure. But his opinion or saying will have the desired effect. But I hope the home factories are not putting their fingors in tho price lowering pio. If so, I do hope cotton producers everywhere .muld find something else and not nnke one fourth as muoh cotton for rhe factories to get rich on, and keep building others on. HKY DKN'VGB. hock hart function News, The weather has been cool and fair and the farmers are moving iround and hustling to gather up their crops. There has been a great deal of hay and other feed stuff saved. The mowers have been putting in full time while the sun shine3. This witer attended Children's Day services the 26th of September at the place known as the Mabry school house in Jonesvillo Township. This was a delightful occasion. The services were conducted by Rev. Mr. Neal and Mr. C. M. uault who acted as chairman. Eaoh little girl and boy did his or her part well. There wore many little epeechos made. Too much cannot be said about this occasion. In connection with this, they had a picnic and every one was served and ,plenty left. That is where they hold Sunday school every Sunday and these good people arc doing a good work in training the young people for future life. I will quit this subject for some one else may say something about this occasion. Wallace T. Kelley died at Monarch Mill in Union, September 15th. 1903, with typhoid fever, and was buried at Flat kock church, on the 10th of September, near his old home where he was born and reared, near Kelton, in Pinckney Township. Union County, S. C. He leaves a wife and a father and several brothers and sisters to mourn his untimely death. Ilia good mother passed over to the better land a few years ago.
