It was not long until a party headed by officer Fowler and the ones who made the report went to the place and found, instead of a woman with her throat cut as claimed, a dead chicken and a couple of yards of white cloth, I OUR VETERAN CORRESPONDENT Attends Confederate Reunion, Meets Several Uhion County Men from Other States. Jotiesville, Juno 19th.?We had a good shower of rain last Wednesday whifch did much good for the time iHiing hut another shower would be quite a crept a hie. Most farmers are getting out of the grass but the cotton was lmdly crippled by lying in the grass. There was too much cotton on the ground when it firet came up but after I lying in the grass so long and then ll?- * - ocing chopped out in many fields there is not enough cotton, too much of it was cut up in cleaning ijt, so there is poor prospects of a good crop. I returned from Ixmisvillc, Ky., last Saturday, our delegation all returned except Mr. N. B. Eison, who stopped over in Knoxvillc to! visit relatives. The reunion was largely attended and was a success, i South Carolina did not have the largest delegation in the reunion hut she certainly was the most notable of any state because Gen. Steven D. Lee, the commanding officer v and Gen. Win. E. Mickel, Adjutant General, are lx>th South Carolinians, and then Miss Lumpkin, a South Carolina woman, was the lion of the convention. The speech she made was the speech of the convention and she was cheered as no other person was. 1 did not meet as many Union county lx>ys there from the West as I expected but there were several there whose names I will now give: Smith Lipscomb from Bonam, Texas, Jesse Robinson from Wolf City, Texas, Bob Peakc from near Louisville, Ky., Bob Howell, Northern Mississippi, W. W. Edge, Alabama, Bob Fowler, Mississippi, J. T. Powell, Mississippi, George Buchanan, Indian Territory, and Billy Milam, not a Union boy but he All 1 uiugiu a dancing school 111 Union many years ago and is well known to many of the old people of Union. Reports of the veterans from the cotton states are not encouraging for a good cotton crop. The wheat crop in Tennessee and Kentucky looks fine to a South Carolinian, hut the crop is not a tine one but is fairly good. I-ast Wednesday evening I)r. A. S. Foster and Miss Mildred Lindsey gave a party at Dr. Foster's office from i) till 11 o'clock in honor of Miss Annie iAura McDuffie of Columbus, (la.

Those present were, Misses Annie Laurie McDuffie, Miss Whitmire, of Greenville, Joseplicne Rodgcrs, of Atlanta, Mary and Bessie Bassett, I V.fho Uoivw.u n,.n MTI.OI?1 4?auv AAUU1VO auu J/VII M UlllUt'K, Messrs.

Quite a number of our people attended the floral fair and parade at Union last week and they speak in pleasing terms of their reception and of the whole proceedings as one .giaiul and lieautiful. This writer would have been present at Union but he was in one of the largest and grandest parades of any reunion I ever visited on the same day in Louisville. Mrs. Mary Thomas, of Norfolk, Ya., is visiting Mrs. G. B. Fowler. Miss Blanch Camak, of Fairfield, is visiting her brother Rev. D. E. | Camak. The picnic came off at the Baptist church Saturday evening according to appointment. The bank and manufacturing company here will pay semi-annual dividends the first of July. Mr. S. C.

Ho was riding on tho fire wagon in the trades display. He jumped off while the wagon was in motion, lost his footing, fell striking his left arm against the curb stone of the pavement breaking one bone just above the wrist and dislocating two fingers. This was the only accident during the parades* "HGHT YEARS IN HELL" j Temperance Lecture by Mr. Sol. P. NcCall. laist Tuesday night at 8.iJO o'clock in Baldwin's band park Mr. Sol. I'. McCall delivered his famous temperance lecture, "Eight Years ill HclL" Mr. McCall is a brilliant young man and a most eloquent and forceful speaker. He is a reformed drunkard and has delivered temperance lectures in eight different states. His lecture entitled "A Drunkard's Fate" is said to he a grand, gloomy and convincing exposition of a drunkard's career. | The lecture Tuesday night whs atl tended by a large crowd of attentive , and enthusiastic listeners. Mr. MeCall is fulhr endorsed by judiciary and clergy ot every state in which he has lectured. He is very earnest and sincere and paints in glowing colors the life of a drunkard. If one could he induced to reform, certainly what McCall soys would have that effect. A lecture like that of Mr. McCnll's is good to I>ave the way for prohibition all over our land. Court Proceedings. The case of the Shite vs. Burt Gregory charged with causing the death of his wife by strichnine poison was the most important and interesting case tried at this term of I the court. The trial consumed all | of two days. The evidence was principally circumstantial. The solicitor was assisted by V. E. j DePass, Esq. Attorneys James i Monro and B. F. Townsend represented the defendant. The jury I returned a verdict of not guilty alx>ut 9 o'clock Saturday night. This case was quite adroitly and vigorously prosecuted. B. F. TownI ???,! V- i.:.. - ?

It will be a concrete dam. Rev. A. C. Best tilled his appointment here yesterday preaching acceptable sermons morning and evening. A series of meetings will be held at the Presbyterian church commencing Tuesday night. Rev. Potter of Greer is expected to do most of the preaching. Mr. Potter is said to.be a preacher of much power, devoting half of his time to evangelistic work in Enorce presbytery. All the students have returned from their different schools. The last to return were Coy Jones and Duke Falkenbury from Ilot Springs, N. C., and Willie Hope from Wofford eollege. Mrs. W. D. Hope and children sonic three weeks since went visiting relatives in York county. Before they reached the homes of the relatives one of the children became sick and for some time was critically ill.

Among them is a six-pound cannon hall and a musket liall found near "Old Fort. 80, as the mail will stain close, I will have to close also, assuring the readers of The Times that they have the best wishes of Homo. A Wonderful Saving-. The largest Methodist church in Georgia used 82 gallons of L. A M. mixed with 24 gallons of oil, thus making paint cost about $1.20 per gallon. They calculated to use 100 gallons of other paint. Saved almut $80.00, and also got a big donatio n of L. A M. Dealers gladly sell L. A M., because their customers call for it, and say they used it 12, 14 and even 80 years ago. Don't pay $1.60 a gallon for linseed oil, which you do in ready-for-use paint. Buy oil fresh from the barrel at 80 cents per gallon, and mix it with L. A M. Paint. It makes paint cost about $1.20 per gallon. Hold by Union Hardware Go., Union: J. L.
