CITIZEN CRITICISES
The Progress Account the
Ccckirg llaln.
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.

A sheet iron building a* the
Union Oil Mill used to* store the
1 lint, was partially consumed by tiro
last Friday night alxtut ; 9: HO
' o'clock. 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.

Game Cock Fighting Near Onion.
Union, Februaky 6th 1905.?
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. X.
