The burning question with us in
buying is to gat the best for spot
' cash, and our only thought in selling
is to have the best, the newest
the cheapest, and do for you a little
better all the time than anyone elae
can, and that Flyno knows he can
and will do. Long years of experience
in the largest markets of the
world has taught Flynn where to
get the best variety and lowest
prices. Our buyer in New York
last week purchased the greatest
bargain at the great auction sale of
Sweetrer, Pembrook ?fc Co., New
York for spot case. Some of those
goods are now in, and others are
following. They are not cheap,
thrashy stuff, but they are snappy,
up-to-date merchandise that any
lady can be proud to wear. Flynn
is never behind when it comes to
catering to the wants of the Union
ladies. Goods are never made too
pretty or too good for the ladies of
this section, and the correct styles
and prices can be always fonnd at
Flynn's.

; Age of Political Parties.
> Fifty years ago this summer the
, ( Republican party was born. Authori
ities differ as to the exact date and
i place of the birth, doubtless because
* the union of anti-slavery people was
* progressing independently in various
t parts of the country at the same
I time.
The Democratic party, with some
changes in the name, dates from 1792.
~ Then it was known as the R?r?nKl?.
? ?
? can party, and opposed the Federals
! under the lead of Hamilton. In
? 1798 it .assumed the name, "Demo11
cratic-Republlcan," by which it is
still designated in the platform.s of
Tammany in New York. The party
r divided in 1828, and the opponents of
. General Jackson gradually formed
i themselves into a new organization,
> under the name of National Republi
cans. The party in power ultimate,
ly dropped the word Rupublican, and
> became simply the Democratic party,
> a name which it has ever since rei
tained.
When the slavery issue cut across
i all party lines and a new party was
> formed in 1854, the name Republican
> was selected, it is said, in the hope
that it would appeal to the anti-slav
ery members of the old Democratic'
Republican and National Republican
' parties.
The Whigs did not appear in a
i national election until 1886. The
party was crushed and dispersed by
its defeat in 1852, and was succeeded
by the American or Know-Nothing,
party. The abolitionist and Freesoilers,
under various names, organized
and nominated candidates for
President between 1889 and 1856,
when the new Republican party entered
the field with John C. Fremont
as its "standard-bearer."
Since 1856 ten or fifteen new parties
have arisen, lived awhile and
died. Nonft of t.h?m a a?.? u" D-~
? v. WMVM4 L7 ( T U tlio X IU"
hibitionist party has survived more
than three presidential elections. In
1900 eight parties strove for the preedency.
Six of them failed to win a
single electoral vote. Indeed, since
Lincoln's second election the People's
better known as the Populist party,
is the only "third party" which has
succeeded in choosing any electors.

Another Barn and Mules Burned.
About 2 o'clock Wednesday morning
the large barn on the plantation
known as the Gilliam 11. Jeter place,
now owned by his eon Paul Jeter,
was burned, eight mules and a large
lot of fodder were burned. Four of
the mules belonged to Mr. W. T.
Gregory who had part of the lands
rented. Two of the mules belonged
to Mr. Ed Gregory, of Chester, who
has been engaged in hauling for the
Neal Shoals contaactors, and generally
kept his mules in this stable.
,The other two mules had been sold
to two of the negro tenents on the
place by Mr. Paul Jeter. The fire
started in the loft and is thought to
be incendiary as there had been no
one in the loft since 12 o'clock the
day before, at which time the wagons
of Mr. Paul Jeter had been loaded
to take to his place at Carlisle. We
arc told that a few days before the
fire, the two negroes whose mules
were burned in this barn had a fight
with some of the other tenants on
the place, and bad blood existed between
these people.
. -Editor
Hatted.
To contribute to the pleasure, comfort
and possible necessities of an
editor in a substantial way, is a contribution
to the community at large,
because it lightens his burdens, inspires
him with renewed confidence
in the good will and generosity of
his friends and the people generally,
and causes him to take a more cheer,
ful and rosy view of his surround
ings, which otherwise might appear
gloomy and foreboding. The editor
of The Times, to his delight and
grateful appreciation has been crowned
by that affable and even thoughtful
member of the Union Shoe Company,
Mr. William J. Ilaile, with
one of their most stylish and become
ing straw hats, such as this company
always carries in stock at this season.
| ? m Wednesday's
Rain Storm.
I The street gutters and drains of
I the city of Union were not prepared
I for, or in any way equal to that
heaviest of rain fall that came Wednesday
afternoon. It was a regular
cloud burst, Hooding every place.
The concrete pavements in many
places being on a level with and in
some places a little higher than the
doors of the business houses, the water
ran into the doors in, a stream.
The store house of Norman and Murphy
being on a corner and the street
a little down grade, the water gathered
as it fell and flowed into the
door. It was simply impossible to
I keep back the flow of water, either
by closing the doors or use of brooms.
In many places the streets looked
like a swolen creek, and the roar and
rush of waters like a mighty torrent.
Charges Denied.
Editor of Union Times,
You will please allow me space in
your paper to say to the people of
Union County, that the bitter charges
made against me by Mr. W. M. English,
of Delta, are absolutely and
meanly false, and* are actuated by
malice, and will be proven so at the
proper time. J. M. Moblky.
