Pension Check.
The Clerk of 1 he Cotnf, I. F. Peake,
received last Saturday the check for \
payment of the pensioueis of this county. ]
The amount to which Union county is ,
entitled this year is $5,155.81. . - (
New Passenger Depot. .
We gather from a number of our ex- I
changes that ; It. It Commissioner Gar lis 1
in company with several of the railroad
officials, have within the past month vis- i
ited a munber of places along the line of ;
the Southern system in upper South Carolina
for the purpose of locating and
erecting new \ assenger waiting rooms.
Union was given the go-by. Several
months ago Union was promised a jnodern
waiting room, the oi.ly obstacle at
that time being Uie Gibbes house, since '
which time we have heard nothing more 1
on the mtject. The pieseqti ya^sengrr 1
waiting r.^iu is a disgrace." \..

Pension Granted. i
The many friends of Mc* G. Stout \
Noland will be glad to know that Congressman
Aiken succeeded in having a ,
bill passed in Congress granting to Mr.
Noland a pension. He was a member j
of the 2nd regiment of South Carolina (
volunteer infantry in the Spanish War. ,
It will h<* rememherel that at the lime
8?.out joined the .United States army
then encamped at Columbia, 8. C, .
awaiting orders to sail for Cuba, be was (
over the age at which volunteers were ,
i accepted, according to the army regula- ,
tions and rtquirements. In order to ,
' overcome th!s regulation, he had his hair
cut very short and his face shaved clean, j
which gave him the appearance of a
young man, he being physically all that (
was desired or required. The people of ,
. Union County know well the war record (
of Stout Noland, that no braver, better j
soldier ever faced the enemy. He is
now numbe ed amoftg the^ scar worn
veterans of tbe lost cause, and deserves a
pension and a gold cj\*is of honor. I;

, Union's Growth and Wealth.
| We feei bound to admit that th<
I town Is under obligations to the cotton
mill Industry and influence for
whatever growth it has mad? in the
past ten years. Her Inlustrlos have
grown so large together with an enormous
increase of business, which
naturally and necessarily follows,
that it is almost impossible for one
railroad to handle the traffic incident
upon slleh un increase.
Cpl. T. 0. Duncan, tho groat agitator
io everything conducive*, to the
good of the town and county, has undertaken
another great work^o relieve
the'present situation of lack of
railroad facilities. He purposes to
extend the Union and Grfenn Springs
Railroad to the Atlantic Coast Line
on one end and the Seaboard Air Line
on the other, and ho wants those interested
to give the right of way, and
we Uopv that everybody between these
points will see it Is to their interest
to do,stC that everybody will, so interested
with one accord, guurantee
to him an unobstructed route, for by
so doing they will confer a lasting
benefit not upon the town and the
country, but UDon Lhemsolves alnr?
and all property along this lino of
railroad will unquestionably be enhanced
in value ten fold, for this is
the history of every country through
which railroads run, therefore every
one should not only fayor but do
what they can to further the project,
and success will sure follow.
Several years ago we had good
prospects of reaching Clinton, buttho
scheme was quietlj dropp?d, and
the Southern continued to control
the field of operations. The Southern
is and will bo at work again, to
defeut-tiiis project ; it is a powerful
corporation with almost unlimited
money, but this will avail nothing if
bhe people want this railroad connection
we now advocate, and which
as wo say above is being pushed, they
oau get it, and we feel assured that
with Col. Duncan in the lead you
can't go wrong. All fall into line
and success will necessarily be the
result.
