Mr. Editor: Permit, me space in your worthy paper, in which to reply to an article published in last issuro of "Progress," concerning cocking mains and crap shooting. Where they have gone to the expense to secure a photographer to obtain photographs for that paper. It appearothat "Progress" is very much interested in trying to make convictions, which is the duty of officers elected for that purpose, but they refuse to specify the exact place, which they have withheld, (it is supposed for further reference to that worthy paper*) We hope they will be rewarded for their generous deeds, but wo think they could have Secured photographs nearer Union if they had only tried. It seems that "Progress" is blind to the cause which she is trying to support. / If "Progress" would only commence within the limits of this beautiful city and visit with its secret service mon the bowling alleys and pool rooms, we think it could secure enough news to almost fill its columns, and through the trusty columns of Progress, Sheriff Sanders admitted that he knew of the affair a week before it occurred. Why did he, an officer of the law and sworn to support the law, turn his back on what Progress terms a crime? "] Progress says cockfighting should have the serious consideration of every law abiding citizen and their earnest efforts to have it stopped. What good would their consideration be, when tho one they have elected to enforce the law, has utterly ignored it, saying that he had served notices on the leaders through their friends that it must stop. Was ho sworn in to servo notices on the friends of criminals? Is that a' sheriff's duty? i It is rumored that Progress will publish pictures of tho parties and afterwards send them to the rogues gallery for further reference. If such reports art; true there will be some of Union counties most sue- j cessful citizens involved. It also appears that Progress' camera cannot secure photographs among tho limelights of this innof?llt down. an$ .-.therefore resorts to mi; open air 01 m? country. i Of course they didn't secure the last photograph with its beautiful display of six shooter, which would have given credit to the amateur, with its dazzling beauty and splendor. How unthoughtful he must have been to have left so suddenly without securing it. It is to be ( hoped that he will be more successful next time, and that Progress will consider the error it has made in trying to enforce the law without the aid of officers elected for that purpose. How many subscribers would ring off if they only knew that Progress was aiding in such a cause. It is to be hope that we may see its photographs as they were in olden time. Citizen. Meeting of the S.

A man carrying a lantern went to the house to- put in some lint: tho lantern globe broke and the flame was blown to the lint which ignited and spread rapidly. . The frame work of the building was burning and the sheet iron was rod hot, when tho city fire department arrived and soon had the fire under control. Had it not been for their promt response Union probably would have had another big blaze as wooden buildings were only a few feet away. The damage done amounted to the building and some thousand pounds of lint. Letter to Aetna Cotton Mills, Union, S. C. Dear Sirs: Mr Frank Robinson, Titusville.

The poultry industry of the United States has within the past ten years assumed gigantic proportions. The census bureau figures that the money realized from the sale of chickens and eggs oach year exceeds that of the cotton, corn or wheat crop. The chicken raisers and farmers art; engaged in raising all.sorts and sizes of chickens, from the bantam to the buff plymouth rock, and the pit game; this last is that beautiful bird about which so much has been and can be said. Progress devoted ^wo or more columns of last week's issue to an editorial and a very interesting and graphic description of some cock fights which took place near the suburbs of this city last wock and the week t>efore. It certainly is a great pity that this graphic account was not illustrated by the pictures taken during the progress of this fearful fight. It would have been so much bettor calculated to create a desire in the minds of the boy and young man who had never witnessed such a fight, to be present at the noxt one, as the curiosity of the innocent and uninnitiatcd is by this detailed account very much excited and all the more eager and anxious to see such8ix>rt, and doubtless at the next cock fight there will be those who never had 1 attended. Now as to its being ille- : gal to fight chickens, there is abso-1 lutely no law in the statutes of South Carolina prohibiting the fighting of chickens, bull-dogs or cats. The chickens may be put down on the ground opposite each other well heeled, 110 one can make them fight unless they wont to fight, this fact relieves the cruelty feature, as the nature of the birds is hi fight, and those who put them down oDDOsite each other eivincr them the opportunity to indulge in their nat" ural inclinations and the birds fight or refuse to fight, that settles it. No sheriff in South Carolina has the power to stop a chicken fight unless (the fighting disturb a religious meeting. I None must conclude from what , we say in this, that we are in favor of chicken fighting, for we arc not nor ever have been, nor can we Ikpersuad<Kl, allured or enticed to engage in any such by the fascinating and seductive pen picture drawn in the account above referred to; hut others might.
