UNION, 8. C., NOVEMBER 20, 1903.
The 10th annual meeting of the
United Daughters of the Confederacy
which met in Charleston, JJudjourned
on Saturday night. Mrs. A. T.
Smythe, who has been very prominent
with the order in this State, was
elected President.
The farmers are becoming thoroughly
sick and tired of the depredations
of trespassers?and are very
generally posting their land warning
them oil.
Hunters are the most annoying of
their tribe. When original woods
were common on the farms, birds
were abundant, but since these woods
have been practically all cleaned up,
such birds as lived and built their
nests in trees have become very
scarce, and the only dependence for
keeping down injurious insects is
upon what are known us ground
birds. Of these partridges are by far
"* * * " * ?>w< rAARA
instead oi decreasing when the
lands are opened up, and the Hocks
never wander very far from where
they were raised, so that a farmer
has about as much right to his own
partridges as to his own chickens.
During the winter they eat vast quantities
of gras3 and weed seeds, that
would otherwise grow and add to the
labor of cultivating the crop?they
scratch among the leaves and other
litter for the insects that have hidden
themselves away till spring, devouring
cut worms, hud worms and other
insect enemies of the farmer and are
entitled to his protection.
It is perhaps unfortunate that
partridges are so good to eat?their
destruction costing far more than
their valuo as food.
SAYING OFCIIRIST
FOUND IN i; G YI'T.
Excavations and research's in
Egypt and in Assyria have brought
to light most valuable nrcheological
finds that throw much light on the
early history of civilization. So far.
these records, instead of disproving
the Bible narrative, tend to confirm
ib uiiu iuiuw uew ugub u[)un it.
"in Egypt a short timo ago Dr.
Grenfell found a rich ptolemaic necropolis
at El-Hibeh. The bulk of
the documents from one mound consisted
of a collection of sayings of
Jesus. They are all introduced with
the words 'Jesus saith,' and for the
most part are new. The ends of the
lines, unfortunately, are often obliterated.
Apparently all the sayings
were addressed to St.. Thomas. One
of the most remarkable is :
" 'Let not him that seeketh cease
from his search until he find, and
when he finds he shall wonder; wondering
he shall reach the kingdom,
and when ho reaches the kingdom he
shall hare rest.'
"Dr. Grenfell announced that enor- I
mous interest could be aroused by
the discoveries, on account of the
variations they disclosed from accepted
texts. One variant of the
mystical sayings recorded in St. Luke,
'The kingdom of God is within you,'
was of no great value as the saying
in the papyrus appeared quite diiferent
durfoundings those attributed to
it by the evangelist and extended far
into another region.
"According to Dr. Grenfell these
saying form the new gospel which is
traditionally associated with St.
Thomas.
,"An interesting variation of the
gospel according to St. Luke, 11th
chapter and f>2nd verse, reads in the
papyrus:
" 'Ye have hidden the key of
knowledge, ye entered not. yourselves
and to them that were entering in ye
did not open.'
"Another fragment contained a
discourse of Christ, closely related fo
passages of the sermon on the mount,
nnd a conversation between Christ
and his disciples, in which Christ
answers a question as to when his
kingdom will be realized, saying:
" 'When ye return to the stato of
innoconco which existed before the
fall.' "
This answer would seem to confirm
the opinion held by many, that perfection
iS^tho ultimate destiny of
man. v
NEIL'S ?7/C I.S IN THE
HANDS Or THE WIZARD.
Few of our ptople realize the magnitude
of tho woik going on at Noal's
Should. Atrip to tho Shoals will
repay anyone, a feeling of grand ure
will overcome you Ad you will simply
look, and wonder, as "one looking
at tho rolling waves of the ocean,
how such things can bo.
Tho Union Power and Manufacturing
Co., or rather Col. T. 0. Duncan
who is the moving spirit and main,
spring of the enterprise, have purchased
all the riparian rights on
Broad river from below the Shoals to
a distanco up the river beyond back
water from tho dam and are now
erecting a dnm to hold the water and
make it turn the wheels of commerce
insieaa 01 auoraing n lishing ground
for tho young men of Union, Santuc
and Curlisle.
The sito is one of the few grand,
magnificent and cheap developments
on our streams. A narrow point has
been selected with solid granite jutting
out from tho bluff on the Chester
[side and the ledge extending across
to the Union side terminating in high
bnnks fifty feet abovo the highest
water of record, making an opening
between abutments of only three
hundred and sixty-five feet. At this
point the company is erecting a dam
twenty-four feet high of the fiuesl
workmanship One not cognizant of
the fact would bo justified in thinking
the Government engineers had
drawn specifications and wore superintending
construction. The work is
on a grand scale. A quarry of the
closest knit granite has been opened
on Chester side where some hundred
and liftj hands art at work getting
out the dimension stone, which are
picked up by huge derricks, placed
on a railroad truck and carried by
gravity about two hundred yards to a
point where the grabb3 from the
traveling crane catches them and

is nartlv liialaJiC, - Un Chaster side for
about ore third distance, or brine*
them across the river and deposits
them in '.vails of the power house.
Blocks of stone ten feet long and four
feel square are handled as easily as a
mother handles her baby. The outside
of the dam is built of these dimension
Vtones and core tilled with
finely ground concrete made uf the
best Portland cement and rammed in
till not a vacant space is left, making
the whole equivalent to one solid
rock from one bank to the other and
resting on the original bed rock
maito5 it a structure that will with
stand any Hood that Broad ri.er lias
ever had.
On the Union side is being erected
the power house, tail races, Humes,
etc. This house is certainly built to
stand; excavations huvo been made
in the solid rock, and walls ten fee t
thick ar^- being erected. In this f stress
will bo located tlie* generators.
These wonderful and mysterious cort
rivances are made by the General
Klectric Co., and consist of four machines
of 2,4<?o horse-power each, and
two of lot) horso-power, aggregating
nearly ten thousand horse-power. \
These generators will be directly
coupled to the turbines which (lis- '
charge into the river parallel to and |
just below the dam. On the Chester
. * ?
sme is located Sand Gatos and tne j
Lock, Which will enable beats to pa?9 !
through the dum.
The engineers anticipate no short- ]
age of water, even in summer, as the
pond will have such a large area that!
water will be stored at night in ?uch
quantities that the flow in day time
when mo9t of powor is wanted will be ;
nearly equivalent to double the flow'
et low water. In the history of water
power development nothing has ever'
been launched that equals this in cost
of construction or quick returns on
money invested. The company has
sold eight thousand horse power to he
delivered as soon as possiblo and the
balance has been spoken for as soon
as the Company is able to make a delivery
date, 'lhus this plant will
make n phenotninal record of having
its entire product sold and on an interest
paying basis as soon as completed.
Mr. Geo. O. Tenney has the con.
tract and if he pushes the work as
fast as ho has ,our town sewerage,
.... . .. ... K..M.na?B IU UU Ullll judging
from tho appliance on the grounds he
seems fixed to do, for he has eight
mammoth derricks, a cabio way
across and one hundred feet abovo
tho river, with a dozen steam engines
and a drove of negroes, it will not ho |
long before the copper wires will
connect, the river and the mills, and i
the water which has flowed on to the
oceun will be tapped in transit and
made to do the commands of men.
The smoko will cease to besmear our
lovely mill villages and tho money
that has gone to the coal barons
will l>e kept at home and used to >
mako our little town flourish still |
more.

T k: Demoerabs in Congress will
niako v. serious mistake if, for the
sake of opposing President Roosevelt
and Secretary Hay, thoy throw* any
impediment? hi tho vCiy of building
the Panama Canal. Tho wholo cout.try
wants tho eantil .and will not
brock any interferences that will
cause delay.
Miss Alico Roosevelt, daughter of
our strenuous President, has discarded
tho side-saddle and is frequently
seen in company with her riding
teacher, Mrs. Rider, riding through
tho parks of Washington "man fashion"
in her divided skirts. People
there have become so accustomed to
seeing her riding thus that it creates
no comment whatever. This style
has long boon popular in the West,
but is somewhat new* in the East. It
is claimed to be much better for both
horse uud rider than tho old side
way. ^

always have been in favor cf an
isthmian canal, but they will oppose
by all means at their disposal, the
a'tempt of the administration and the
republican majority in Congress to
over-ride the law bv negotiating a
canal treaty witli the conspiracycreated
State of Panama, and they
have reason to believe that they cm
prevent the ratification of the proposed
treaty by the Senate. As regrettable
as was the over-hasty recognition
of Panama as an independent
State by this Government, it
involved no violation of the law; but
the administration violated th<?
Spooncr act of the last Congress
when it took the lirct step towards
negotiating?with dummies set up
f?r the purpose?a new canal treaty
with Panama. The Spooucr act is
.-1 plain that he who runs may read
t-jl that no one can pretend to inism
Jlerataud. It directs the President
oAjiLgotbite a treaty with the govrnment
oF Cofombiu for the con
s'.ruction of a canal acrors the Isth
mus of Panama, and in the event ?>f
failure to make satisfactory arrangements
to negotiate with Nicarauga
for a crnal over what is known as
the Nicnraugua route. Well, the
treaty with Colombia was rejected.
Then, instead of following the plain
letter of the law, and opening nego
tiations with Nicnraugua, the administration
went into the underhanded
business of revolution in Colombia
in order to make suie that the French 1
Canal Company should get ?40,- 1
000.000 for its worthless property. '
In opposing the ratification of a :
treaty with Panama the democrats

AN IXTERF.STINO 1 IMIT.
Senator Ilanna, who is taking a
conspicuous part in the vigorous '
light that is being made against the
confirmation of the nomination of
Prig Gen. Leonard Wood says lie is
after vindication for his friend, Kithborto,
whom he believes to have been
improperly convicted of speculation
in Cuba, while Wood was in command
of the island, but he may find
a break with Mr. Roosevelt, whose
churn Wood is, before begets much
further. Army officers would, almost
without exception, r< i nee to see
the Senate refuse to confirm Wood's
nomination, and some of them are
active working against him. Charges
of various kinds, some reflecting
upon his personal integrity, and
others upon his military capacity,
have been filed against Wood, and a
number of Senators arc against-him.
b: cause he lacks seniority. The
Senate committee on Military Af'
fairs will grant a j tihlic hearing to
all interested this week.
LAUailINC AT TKDDY.
The old political wheelhorsts are
laughing at Mr. Roosevelt's attempt
to catch an old-timer like Senator
Ilanna with such palpably artificial
bait. Mr. Roosevelt figures, and
douhtles3 correctly, that if he could
get Senator Ilanna to coniinit himself,
to remain at the head of the
Republican National Committee and
manage the next campaign he .vould
remove Ilanna as a possible rival
candidate for the nomination. Assuming
his own nomination to be
certain, Mr. Roosevelt flatly asktd
Ilanna to promise to retain the con
inittce chairmanship, s omething never
done by any candid ite so far in advance
of the nomination. What
Ilanna thought would mako int< resting
reading. What he said was, of
course, non committal. Mr. Itooae
velt then tried to get at Ilanna,
through his man Dick, telling him
that he wanted Ilanna for chairman, !
and Dick for one of the vice chairmen?he
wants two vice chairmen, I
so as to make cx-Gov. Crane, of
Mass,, one of them. Dick has been
too well-trained to commit eithei his
boss or himself. So all that Mr.

SENATOllS DUllOiS AND
MALE COMMENDED.
Senators l)ub;is and Halo have
received many commendations for
li.e stand they to >k in speaking
against Senator Hoar's assertion
that it was improper to send petitions
to the Senate in the case of Smoot,
the Moroian Senator, whose right to
the seat lie occupies is questioned
and will bo contested before the
Senate Committee on Privileges and
Eicctious. They both argued that
it was both light and proper for the
people to speak by petition to the
Senate in such a case. Smooi's
friends nave said that ho had assurances
from prominent republicans
that he would not he unseated.
Smoot'himself isn't saying anything,

Representative Cruropicker, of
Ind., reintroduced his hill intended
to reduce the representation of the
South in Congress and in the Electoral
College, and took especial care
to let it be known that he would not
push it until after the Presidential
Iveetion, unless he sees an opportunity
to get it through. If he
waits until then, he'll never push the
bill. It is believed, it is his object
to use the bill, of which the administration
and party leaders uro much
afraid, as a threat fo obtain favors for
himself. I)ick, of Ohio, has ofl'orej
a roso-ution providing for a Congres
aional inves igation of the alleged
disfranchisement of voters in the
Southern States. This is regarded
as u bluff.
