UNION. P. FEBRUARY 10, iw 5
The present legislature as a body
is as badly in need of compulsory
education as the poor unfortunate
children of the farm and mill districts.
This being the ease what
can South Carolina promise; herself
from the next generation of her children,
who will be called upon to
take the places of the members of
the present legislature. The negro
children do not require compulsory
education measures to make them
attend school, because their incentive
is to outstrip the white children
and they take advantage of every
opportunity.
TWO GROUND HOGS.
Evidently there are two ground
hogs in South Carolina, one in Columbia
and the other in Spartanburg,
according to the accounts
we read in The State and Spartanburg
ITerald. The State's ground
hog came out on the traditional day
wutiu inaTfhe backbone of winter
was broken, thcref< re none need
look for any more cold weather.
The Spartanburg Herald's hog came
out, looked about him, at that moment
the sun shone out, he saw his
shadow, frowned, returned to his
burrow and announced that the
people might look for several days
of real cold weather. The State's
hog was pleasant, but deceptive,
while the Herald's hoe was unwi l
com*', but ;i true prophet.
SUSPEND WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
To strike back in self-defense or
vindication is commendable, to resort
to lex tulionis, never. The
State in quite a lengthy editorial
arraigns The Union Timks with a
how dare you question, doubt or
misconstrue, by your expressions of I
indignation at the State's editorial
referring to Judge Townsend granting
John Clegg bail in the sum of
?lo,00, when it is known that The
State has so consistently and persistently
criticised the judiciary
with a view to bring about better
conditions, All of this does not con-I
vincc Tiik Times that the intent on
the part of ' The State" was mt
to rellect upon the individual, rather
than to criticise the judiciary, and
by so doing, if possible, add a
feather's weight in turning the
scales against the candidate for reelection.
Unquestionably the sole i
purpose of an appearance recogninizance
is to bring the accused into
court for trial, at the time and
place therein specified; but The j
State seems to regard the bail bond
? A ? ?i
an it pun oi me penalty. South
Carolina is very jealous of the life
and liberty of her citizens and de-,
sires to inflict punishment upon the
guilty only, and her law presumes '
every one innocent until proved
guilty. Evidently the policy of "The '
State" is to indefinitely suspend the
writ of habcus corpus and thus
place everyone accused of a homicide
behind the bars, and let the'
innocent. suffer with the guilty. (
The idea expressed by "The State" c
that a light bail bond gives to the r
public the impression that there is <
little in the case and thus influences *
the men of the jury that will try j
the case, seems to us only to reach
the uninformed, while on the other |
mnd it is true whon one suffers con- \ 0
moment for a time liefore trial,
public sympathy becomes enlisted
ind the heart and mind of the people
touched with pity. The State r\
would further inflict punishment of t
upon the accused, guilty and inno" illcent
alike, hy confinement, deny- co"
ing them the privilege and opportu- pU^
nity to make defense hy getting j
witnesses and evidence in their be- tin]
half, this is contrary to the policy ^
and fundamental principles of the . *
laws of the land. In this editorial rph
to which The Times now refers? (;0
"The State" charges The Times Jet
with being discourteous. Usually
it is unbecoming in the pot to call
the kettle black. The Times means
to be courteous to contemporaries
always, hut in its zeal to defend or
right a wrong, may not he as choice
and particular in expressions as
some of its contemporaries would
have it be, in this instance, however,
the Times does not feel called
j upon to apologize.
A PLOT TO KILL THE
CZAR DISCOVERED. a11
it
The Czar while walking through
the corridors of his palace saw a jV
letter on the floor addressed to him. ft8
When ho read it, he was amazed, ni
as the letter told him that a plot fo
had been made to kill him, that 12
Cfl
men had sworn to kill him on that ^
Sunday in January. A secret mcs- r0
sage was sent to General Kuropat- le
kin. It is thought that the Czar to
is so deeply impressed with the ^
terribly unseated condition of his
, , . . . ni
own people, their strikes, uprisings,
and threats, he will, as soon as qi
possible, cease hostilities toward tl
Japan, and thus end the war at the ^r
earliest possible moment. All <tf! af
Europe, in fact, the whole com- q>
mercial world, is aroused with the ni
feeling of the necessity of ending hi
this terrible conflict. The present
indications point more promisingly tl
towards an early peace between n

Bees arc industrious little insocts. Jj
icy are the busiest of all insects.
They get the juice from flowers,
id take it to their hives, and make
into honey.
If it were not for the honey-bees
l; would not have any honey, and
r this reason they arc useful to us, ^
the honey they make is very
ce to cat, and nearlv every one is
nd of it. |
Bees have for their homes boxes
lied hives?in these they make
icir honey and in the spring men
ib these hives, but they always
ave some in the hives for the bees
live on through the winter or
ley would die, as there are no
jwers in winter for them to take
lore honey from.
There are three kinds of bees, the
noen bee is the one who rules over i
ic other bees. If she flies away
oin her hives the other bees do J

Death of Mr. R. C. Thompson.

rs. Baxter Lemmond, of this city
a daughter of the deceased.
Mr. Thompson was GO years o!
e and was a man of fine traits oi
araeter, which rendered him verj
pular with a large circle of friends
d acquaintances. He was do'
ted to agricultural pursuits and
i\ays made money farming.

Richard C. Thomson was a nae
of Union county. Dick as ovrlxxly
called him was popular
