Things You Ought to Know?
Did you know that in the vaiiuus orphan
Institutions in South Carolina,
ab >ve seveu hundred orphans are gathered
for educational purposes?
Did you know that it cost an average
of at least five doilats a month to provide
for each one of these?
Did you know that the summer time,
when other people are living ins plenty,
is usually the hardest time of the year
with our orphans, and in every case the
Institution treasuries are empty?
Did you know that contributions of
flour, rice, meal, molasses, t>acon, and
other groceries are as acceptable as cash?
Did you know that all of these orphan
children are the children of your deceased
brothers and sisters?
Did you know that if you failed to
help them they will surely suffer?

Union's Distinguished Visitors.
The visit of the members of the State
Press Association was a most delightful
one to our people who had the pleasure
of their company during their brief stay,
and quite gratifying to the citizens generally
and if we are to judge from the
expressions of pleasure and praise on the
part of these visitors they were equally
pleased. It is very pleasaut indeed, to
have such nice things said atiout our
and people as were said by the representtuu.w
-*The State aud the News
aft&Courier, What was said i r> uicw.,
the leading journals of the State were
not mere flattery, but real, true praise
and compliments which the people appreciate
and feel grateful for, coming
from such a source, for by this means
and medium the outside world will know
what the people and town are, and what
the growth, prospects and prosperity of
the town really are, as distinguished from
a blow for the purpose of pleasing.
Mr. Norment in his dhscription of the
visit calls Union the young Lowell of
South Carolina, thus comparing it with
one of the greatest manufacturing towns
of the United States. In speaking of
her hospitality he says, "Union has dore
many things well as her record proves,
but this trip of the South Carolina State
Press Association will long be remembered
by every participant as a crowning
evidence of the grace and finish of Unions
hospitality and courtesy."
A Talk About the Boll Weevil.
Mr. Bothwell Williams and wife from
Ix>tt, Texas, are here on a visit to relatives
and friends. Mr. Williams has
been in Texas for 14 years; is now engaged
in merchandizing and operating a
small farm. He talks very interestingly
and luteligenlly about the boll weevil.
He brought about two dozen of these
cotton destroyers in a vial of alcohol.
These are of different ages and stages of
developement.
The boll weevil, as it is called, Mr.
Williams says, is improperly named,
from the fact that it does not attack the
boll, but on the oontrary, enteis the
tquare as soon as fully formed, goes inside
the shuck, punctures the center,
Bucks the sap, then deposits its egg, then
goes to other squares and does the same
thing. The egg hatches a grub which
soon dtvelopes into a weevil. Thus it is
that thousauda of weevila soon infest the
cotton and the crop soon destroyed. The
weed is never ?aten, and to stand off
from a field of cotto ? no one would suspect
from the appearance of the weed
that there had been a weevil iu it, so us
long as there are any squares to feed on
this is ail the weevil cares for. It sometimes
happens that the tender bud of tbe
cotton stalk is punctured by tbe weevil,
but this is only wben there are no
squares. Mr. vVilliams says that some
years there is a eal boll worm, which
destroys tbe boll. He says that the weevil
made its appearance nearly a month
earlier this year; that the prospect for a
good crop is very promising if the weevil
can be prevented from further destruction.
