We aie under lasting obligations to some of the correspondents of the daily papers from this place, for the generous mention of the newly projected railroad from Union via Neal Shoals to G. C. & N. railroad, as a rumor. Tiie Times had the first announcement of this new enterprise in its columns last week, as an assured fact and not a mere rumor. The correspondent had no other source of information at the time, on this subject other than that obtained from The Times. It is newspaper conrtety and ethics when any information is boirowed from a contemporary to give credit. It is the part of a live wide awake correspondent for a daily paper to get all the news of any interest btfore it finds its way into too many ears, but if he fails and has to borrow, let him give his source of information and give it as he gets it. tup rAnDTc 4 mm pad nnn ? tiamc We have been astonished recently by the enormons amounts given by juries In damage suits against railroa s a ill otiler corporations.

Since Hm at n?ru,c* lu-nt in Tuk Timks ia-L vctk of our new raiJii ad the people hive iafktd of v- ry little el e Monday being the day of the County Convention, a vety large crowd of people wirt Ii. re from uM parts of tlit* n ty, mi s dJitio:. ui delegat-s. Wo therefore saw and talked to people In in eveiy section, every one txpiessii g tl emselves as agreeably surprised, for they had not heard that there were any such prospects, and were enthusiastic ovei t lie coming of a new 1 ail road, and as usual everybody wanted the road to gc by their house if possible, anyhow, as i close as it could be run. The people are 1 beginning to awake to the impoitauce ol moie railroads. One farmer said i? would save him live dollars a day, beciuse he could come to town on the cars when he had business and let his hosse plow. Several of the people through whose lands the prcjected route wdi like'y run have been to Mr. L. (1 Yourg, who is manager of the surveying corps and proffered to give tli light of way. This is the right spit it, and all who aid in pushing this road through to completion will never have cause to regiet it, but on the contrary will forevei rejoice. We cannot, undertake to enumerate the thousand and one advantages that will accrue to the people, not only along the line, but to all in a few miles of it, ar.d in fact, the whole county. Few people have any conception of the vast amount t lie railroads pay the count y in yearly taxes. The Southern on its oue hue from the Spartanburg county line to where it crosses Broad ltiver pays to this county $7,Out) yearly, sometimes more, and this new road would pay at a similar assessed value and rate of taxation about $4.00'). TENTH OF MAY, MEMORIAL DAY. True patriotism and self sacrifice can always be found in woman, her tears, her smiles and her devotion to every cause she espouses is always most potent in the accomplishment of her desires, actuated by the purest motives. While we do not for a moment suppose that the women of Union have forgitten the day, yet we feel certain that a gentle reminder through the columns of The Times will be no reflection. We would like to see more appropriate and elaborate ceremonies in celebration of this day than have formerly characterized the observance, by our pemjle.
