Farr, 15 aores for $100.' The Union County Democratic Convention did not instruct its delegates to the State Conveutiou. We presume it was thought unnecessary. As the people of UDion did not go wild over Bryan, they are not very apt to endorse Hearst, although the glitter of his gold has aazziea some people, wpo can assign no other reason for his support thau bis lavish distribution of his dollars. While It is true that the railroad and cotton mill news whioh appeared in The Times last week was not copyrighted, those papers and correspondents getting this news through Thk Times and copying the, information should have given The Times credit for it. We were not at all surprised, for it turned out exactly as we expected. We are reliably Informed that one of Union's most prominent citizens, daring his stay in Spartanburg attending the Music Festival, While walking on the street one day was ao > coated by a lady to him a perfeot ? stranger. - She requested him to acB ' oompany her to her art studio, saying, B I must beg pardon, but I was so forcl?& bly struck with the olaseio features, pi: strong and handsome contour of your fa?e, tlf temptation to oall you was re simp^prresistable.

Clifford, of Union, S C , corresponding Secretary of the Sonjli Carolina Division, United Daughters of the Confederacy, acting by order of the I'reaiilent of the Division, has sect a letter to the Superintendents of Public Schools all over the State making an appeal in memory of Wade Hampton. Mis. Clifford says: ' In order that the children of South Carolina may take part in erecting the monument to Gen. Wade Hampton, the South Carolina Division, U. D. C., earnestly request that you will ask each pupil of your school to contribute at least one cent to tlto Monumental Fund upon Memorial Day (May 10.) This contribution will be known as "The Children's Memorial Day Offering." You will please receive it and forward it to the undersigned at your earliest convenience. A full report of schools contributing and amounts received will be published in the state papers." This letter has come to ua with the request?"Please notice this fur Hampton's sake." Let us also notice it for uiir?own p*k*?. We cannot add one cubb to ?he statute of Hampton by anything that we could do or sav; but we can relieve ourselves from the charge of forgetfulness and ingratitude by responding to this and whatever call may be ny. e in honor of Hampton. Every school child in the State ought to contribute the little mite asked by the Daughters of the Confederacy "for Hampton's sake," and we have much mistaken them if there is not a unanimous response on Memorial Day, May 10. The ivilnrpH nhtldron ukA.iia wuiiaivti "iivuIVI banc a piactical inter?*st in this effort to build a monument to one of their greatest benofactors, who of them almost in his last bitalb as "my people, white and . black." It is unnecessary, of course, to urge the school superintendents to present the rexuest of the Daughters to the school' children under their care, aud the tribute of the little ones on Memorial Day will be one of the happiest and sincerest ever paid to the great soldier and citizen whose life ought to be an inspiration to th youth of this State to the remotest time. We clio ht> ?ib >ve from t.b? P.hartoo ton News and Courier. The Union Times can add nothing to this fitting and appropriate tribute and appeal, but most earnestly endorse the sentiments therein expressed. Final Discharge. Notice is hereby given that S. 8.
