UNION, 8. C.f MARCH 10, 1905.
It scorns from all the accounts
wo road in the papers that there are
vagrants and tramps in other towns
and cities l)esidcs Union, hut it apI>cnrs
that these towns are getting
rid of themhy enforcing the vagrant
law. Atlanta and other cities and
towns in Georgia are waging a legal
war against vagrants and tramps.
In Florence and other cities and
towns in boutli t'arolina are warring
against vagrants hy enforcing the
law. We cannot understand why
the city council of Union don't enforce
the law.
"graft.
This word graft has recently Wen
adopted in the literary world to express
or deline an unlawful means
?>f obtaining an unlawful gain, ami
it.- original application was to corrupt
politicians, corporations and
unscrupulous individuals; hut
we never thought to have it apply
t<> the representatives in the national
congress as a W>dy, hut unfortunately
it has. President Roosevelt
convened the doth Congress in extraordinary
session, one month before
tin- regular session. This extra
session continued in session until
the hour for the convening of the
regular session, and hut a moment,
intervened l>ctwecn the pounding of
the gavel of speaker Cannon which
deelare< 1 the extra session adjourned
sine die and the regular session convened,
notwithstanding this short
space of time that elapsed Ix-tween
the adjournment of the extra ses~
sion ami convening of the regular
session the house of representatives
passed a hill tacking on to the general
deficiency appropriation hill,
the sum of #11*0,000 Mileage to
Senators and Representatives, when
not a single mile had been traveled,
in other words they had voted
themselves mileage while they were
actually sitting in their seats, trying
to take advantage of a mere
constructive recess of congress. The
Senate very properly and promptly
struck out this unlawful grab, thus
saving the good name of these
I nited States, hut adding no credit
or "glory to the memliers of the
house of representatives. This is a
a lamentable commentary ufx?n the
dignity, honesty and integrity of
this great IkmIv of lawmakers.
MISriTS.
TI?? unsolved problem which has
ever agitated the minds of the jmoplc
of the ohl and new world is
furnished hy the, strange monstrosities
in nature, l?oth animal and
vegetable, commonly called freaks,
having no letter name to give, by
which to explain the cause of their
existence. We chose in this to
designate them as misfits and by
this include many of the animal
kingdom heretofore not classed
among the misfits, believing, as we
do in the eternal fitness of things.
The most prominent of recent development
in thiseatagory the most
difficult hv any hypothesis or scientific
analogy to fully understand
arc the so called editors of the
weekly newspajHirs, whose assumed
censorship is astonishing .yet none
the less amusing, ridiculous and
contradictory since they arc swayed ;
by the sickly sentiments and opin-j
ions of u few; sitting upon the pokb.y*i
, . v .
liticttl fence to fall on whichever Iws
side n leading daily or ft political
boss dictates, not having any ability ?'
or independence, are impotent to ^
mold public opinion, therefore ns for
editors they must l>e classed among eve
the misfits. Misfits from the fact
that they are failures ?s editors in
the true sense of the word, consequent
upon which the farm, garden,
carpenter's l)cnch or some other
utility is deprived of a fiossible im
genius. !U)
... , , . bu
\Ve glance at the teachers; m
this multitude of educators there Wo
are many misfits. Those engaged to
in this high, honorable and worthy
calling who do not believe that
. ... yo
there is any science in teaching,
who ignore pedagogies and didactics,
have never risen al?ove the non- "S
professional teacher and l>eoomc an
educator in the high and lietter
sense of the term, have never made ^
themselves familiar with the laws
that govern the development of the
human mind, therefore have not ^
learned to adapt their teaching to (><K
those laws. There are those who Pr<
i i ? * ? ?
nave never 1 earnen 10 regard tncir pn
calling a profession rather than a
trade. The clergy is full of good, ^
better, best men of all denomina- 5^
tions but among such a vast num- s
Kt there are many misfits. Hgl
In the legal profession there are ici"
as many misfits as in any other e.\|
calling or profession but fortunately 'Yd
the law suffers no detriment at the con
hands of a fool.

Attention, school l>oys!
Jn the report of the inauguration Kon
on March 1, as published in the ma
Sunday State, the following section P'M1
of a paragraph appears: "The 0 0
brigade of cadet battalions from '
many states attracted universal attention
and received untiounded ap- rou
plause. Those from the south re- ^er
called that sad but most brilliant
lighting at New Market, when the tm<
cadets of the Virginia military institute
were called into the field lna
under Stonewall Jackson. With
the Georgia cadets now marched a ?* !
grandson of Stonewall Jackson. As cal
a whole, it was a column that took 1M<1
fair rank with the j>erfection of . rt's
West Point and Annapolis." Pu
Beneath this recollection" we c0*
place the record of that "brilliant
fighting at New Market," and to it 1,8
we call the attention of the school < c'u
fniys of I'nion county. j wr
The Virginia Military Institute ^ov
is at Ivoxington, Va., where, the
remains of our peerless rxie and 831

ress. i ('<>i
A corps of cadets, all under 17, Pu
consisting of four battalions of in- Bai
fantry and a section of three-inched Kaf
rilled guns, were ordered to report
to Breckinridge at Stanton. i wo
The march was made in two K'*
days, and the bright clean uniforms)
and smooth girlish faces of the
cadets furnished much fun to the , V7
old soldiers.
Breckinridge didn't want to use !
the lioys, but at New Market they |Ji<
were ordered, in a Inciting rain, to i
report to CJen. Kchols for duty, and
bedraggled with rain and mud, the
boy corps took position on the ex- '
trenie left of the reserve line of W}|
battle. | Hi
The order to advance soon came tli;
[and, when Kehol's men came with- ^,(

[upon their ranks with fearful aecuracy.

The colonel in command of the 0,11
cadet corps says: "Great gaps: Ha
were made thro' the ranks, but the Bei
cadet, true to his discipline, would
close into the center to till the in- ^ro
terval and push steadily forward. s>('r
The alignment of the battalion Bf<
under this terrible fire, which
strewed the ground with killed and wr<
wounded for more than a niile on ,UM
open ground, would have l?ccn
creditable even on a field day. ""I
They moved steadily forward for pBi
more than a mile l>eyond New Wil
Market. Then within !J00 yards of
the enemy's batteries, they opened ^hc
with canister, ease shot, and long an<
lines of musketry at the same time. ( ,u
The fire was withering?it seemed the
impossible that any living creature Prt
could escape?and here we sustained tht
our heaviest loss. The commander ),,r
fell, hut a cadet captain took com- |^t
mand of the battalion and moved \
forward until they had gotten into ,l,i
the first line, when all took shelter to
1>ehind a fence, and then after a #f
few minutes, with a shout, a fusil- hri
lade, and a rush, the enemy fled Itj
and the day was won! dri
There were none to guy them

dlengcd the love and admiration |
the veterans of the army of north1
Virginia?which a British officer 1
*8 "for its numlicrs had more 1
cc and p>wer than any army that
;r existed."
And 25 out of that boy battullion
250, lay dead and wounded upon
j field of battle. It is not strange [
it they won a place they can never
c in history.

Dkaii Times?The matter of
k-fighting a 1 mut which you and
igress have Ix'en exchanging comments,
is a local affair* in which
; ixople of Cnion county have
first and best right to interfere,
t the Cherokee News has put in
say which Progress reproduces:
onie weeks ago there was a cockit
in the suburbs of Union and the
ion Progress has been severely crit,etl
ever since because it aired and
tosed it. It has boon condemned
doing its duty in behalf of the law
er, morality and decency of its
muuiiity. Cock fighting is one of
most cruel and debasing "sports"
:agod in by the sporting fraternity,
ins been ou t-1 a wed by the State,
I jnstly so. Union surely has not
gotten the fate of one of hereiliis
less than a year ago who was aiding
one of these lights. There is
better evidence that Progress is
unble to Union than that a howl has
ic up because of its stand in this
Iter. Houtli Carolina needs more
iers like the Union Progress.?Chere
News.
f the Cherokee News would look
?r and expose villains in its own
mty it would give its people l>etserviee.
The tactics employed to defeat
; of its best magistrates in his region

nhood to put down a crowd of

the notice of that great chum- J
m of morality. If the spicy cor- :
pondonco. ljotwcen the parties ~ i
blished in one of the Cherokee *
mty papers escaped the notice of
Cherokee News its a great pity, P
it would have given that paper a ai
ic to investigate and expose the
ring, if any existed. I refer it to is

Cherokee News had taken the r'
