UNION, 8. r., AUOUST II, tow.
IIow far should the State inqllil
into the management of private ei
tcrpriscs? This question is hein
vigorously discussed in till parts <
the country, and a strong and grow
i lg body of opinion demands ths
the sphere of public inspection an
regulation should he greatly widei
c 1. Recent scandals in the insu
ancc, industrial and banking lieh
have forcibly tailed attention I
the necessity of closer supervisio
of certain kinds of business.
Wo were advised by a nu in her <
citizens and farmers who are vcr
much in favor of a county fair n<
to bring up the subject of the count
fair association organization las
Monday. For the reason that th
speeches had consumed a great dot
of time and that the business of tli
some tini(
(ITOUVlttUV/ll )ivu?v?
they thought it advisable to post
pom; the matter of the county fai
association organization to som
future day and to call a meetini
for that purpose at a day who
more time could he given to th
matter. This is our only reasoi

we had intended to do.

tion has organized the farmers a

To the association we must give fu
credit, hut at the same time w
must take other things into con
sidcration. The co-operation <
the hankers alone made it possihl
for the farmer to warehouse an
hold his cotton. If the farmer ha
had to stand alone he could n<
have held his cotton. Circun
stances also make it possible to at
complish much. For instance, i
addition to the actual reduction i
acreage and fertilizers hy the farm
ers through the agency of thecotto
association the continued unfavorn
hie weather went a long ways i
reducing the acreage and reducin
the yield. Putting all this togethc
it has brought alxnit a state c
affairs in the cotton market tha
has never l>eforc existed, and th
cotton buyers, speculators am
spinners realize the fact that tlier
is much uncertainty now whethe

enough cotton to run the mill?
There has been an increased daman
for the manufactured goods, am
unless there is a sufficient anioun
of the raw material grown, the de
niand cannot he supplied, therefor
we may look for a continuance of ;
good priee for our cotton. Farmer
deserve great praise, for they havi

Santue, August 7.?Wo arc hav- '
" ing hot wonthor now. Sunday and '
j Monday of this week, the thermometer
in a well ventilated, double i
roofed instrument shelter reached
{ 00 and 100 degrees respectively. '
Chills are very prevalent in this
n section, more of them is reiwrted |
than has been for several years, al
so there has been some light form
of fever.
n) Crops were practically burning
,,, up, but yesterday (Monday,) we
5 had a steady downpour of rain for
^ nUmt three hours and <5.41 inches
fell. 1 have not heard from the
storm but with that amount of rain
-,o ver>' likely much overflowing was
.r done. That is an expensive rainfall.

v news about the dam hut could not
get up much. They arc still at i
work and hut recently men came I
' * and are now putting in the governors.
There was a picnic down at Mr.
(j 1). H. Mcl'rackens' last Friday and
those who went say it was a fine
one, and quite a large crowd atr
tended.
Is Two dispensary constables were
here two weeks ago with an eye on
^ some liquor jugs in the express of"
tice, so I am told, hut the jugs
"took wings and flew," so they
went olT without the hooty. Any
,f one interested directly or indirectly
in whiskey or the movement of it
^ generally, scheme some way to Ix at
^ the officers of the law. Hut, was
y there a "nigger in the wood-pile?"
;t Roads are heing worked, and as
(1 hard as the ground is I think it a
. waste of lx>th time and money.

and an attempt was made to catch '

1 would not care how severely they
are punished for they only loaf '
around the place and pitch ball,
yelling all the time and studying
devilment. They have made them*
selves and ball playing a nuisance,
1 and I hope the railroad will find
and punish them. We thought
they were getting ragged, hut peri
haps it is the smartness bursting
s through.
1 went to Union today to the
s farmers rally, was disappointed in
not hearing Mr. Harvey Jordan,
but enjoyed the speeches of Messrs.
i- Hyatt and Smith. I didn't grow

[fj tired of the backless seats, the heat
aiul some men jumping up before
me so 1 could not see, hut I guess
'v they forgot. J saw a goodly num'
her of friends. There were not hut
II a few ladies out, not as many as I
expected. 1 thought that I might
probably see a girl there, hut 1
'I didn't.
Betwixt alternations of extreme
1! wet and severe dryness, all who are
d connected with farming might he
(1 expected to have blues and see only
deserts, hut there are many little
oasis' and acrimonally a big one.
" Even though this may seem like a
-* "deferred news-item," I yent
n through a big oasis in the great
n desert last week, drank at the
"springs" at the "sweets" and
basked in the sunshine of many
1 pleasantries? hut no shade is more
acceptable at this season. I went
n to Jonesville to attend the Sunday
g School Convention which met there
the last few days, />th Sunday in
July, I will not give details according
to the set program. The mectt
ing was well attended, sometimes
e the church was crowded to ovcr|
flowing, Dr. Ia;c Davis Ixxlge, of
(i Limestone Female College and Mr.
S. B. Ezcll, of Spartanburg, were
r the visitors and speakers of much
t note from abroad. It was a success
, and Jonesville deserves credit for
,1 the manner of entertainment, and
, deserves to he proud herself.
' There was nothing lacking, unless
* it was a strata of cool air and that,
- she could not provide, but after all
c the weather was not excessively hot.
1 I never enjoyed an occasion more
than 1 did that one. 1 was real glad
s of an opportunity to visit Jonesville.
15 I had I wen there before, have many >
l personal friends and several rcla* <
. tives, and it was a re-nnion we all I
| enjoyed, and they were considerate '
and of course I felt much at ease, <
and I hope I could show apprecia"
" tion. I cannot forget the kindness ?
. shown mc by relatives. I feel as- 1
>ured that they were glad to hoc
me (I was more than glad to see
them,) but does not feel that he in
jxactly as unimportant and insignificant
as a faded green spot,when
he gets into such friendly congregations
as I am used to at Joneseille.
Txmg may the place grow
and prosper, and the citizens retain
the good reputation as friends, hosts
and hostess' that 1 can hut say that
they have won. I was entertained
as regards a homo while there, by
the family of Mr. It. A. Whitlock.
Mr. and Mrs. Whitlock and their
children, Miss Belle, Boy and the
smaller ones were ad very solicitous
alxmt me, and I do not know
how to thank them or to express
my appreciation for their kindness
Then I was entertained byjothcrs
at whose homes I made short calls,
at stores etc. Well I can't tell it
all.
1 attended the . .iptizing while
there, nineteen girls and young
women were baptized Saturday
evening, and Sunday thirteen lx>ys
and men were baptized. I^jirge
crowds were out to witness it. The
Baptist church has just gone t hrough
* i rni . i ll.
a two wccks revival. liiereisuuK
of building a new church, and they
ore getting in some material in tlie
way of new members to help.
As to the town it is a growing
place. If you stay away too long
someone may have to tell you it is
Joncsvillc, you won't know it.
There are lots more people there,
too, you know. I tried to get
around to all the stores and could
not do so for want of time. There
are numbers of pretty girls in Jonesville
and some as pretty as you ever
seen from the country homes around
Joncsvillc. Then there were some
who came from near-by towns, cities
and burgs, and that made scores
of them. I may be accused of being
'"foolish" about them, but if I
did not like to see them, Ik* with
them and talk to them, perchance,
when they let me, 1 would?well, I
would get to Ik; "hoggish." Pretty
girls and music sets a fellow?well,
somehow?and let me say, I was
treated to some very tine music, by
a very accomplished little musician
and, 1 tell you it was fine.
I must skip and hurry on. 1 saw
Telephone, and I thought he was f
troinc to Telenhone vou a full at- !
count of the meeting. He is looking
well, seems to l>e enjoying good
health and is happy. I would like
to have had a longer talk with him.
Also Homo was there, and we had
[piitc a long tramp together, talked
fiFiitei,''St1
went to the knitting mill and 1
didn't. But the l>ook and time"
keeper, Mr. H. W. Porter, said
that if I go there some timo he
might arrange for me to see much.
By the way, Mr. Editor ask Homo
if he knows everything about
that "I*. C." incident. I am not
giving him away now. I believe
he was looking at the pretty girls
himself at that time and was frustrated.
Must stop.
Hey Denver.
Jonesville News Notes.
Joncsvillc, Aug. 7.?It is hot and
dry in Jonesville this morning and
I understand it is very dry about
West Springs and that crops in that
neighborhood are burning up for
want of rain.
The cotton crop this year is Ixnmd
to be vow short. :i 11 over ttii? eonn.
try because it is very sorry now,
and it is too late for it to put on a
good crop or at least that has been
my observation for many years.
The Jonesville Guards, nlxmt
forty men will leave today for Columbia,
to go into camp with the
rest of the first regiment. The
company is in command of Copt.

Hamcs assistant surgeon.
The protracted meeting at New
Hope last week, closed on Thursday
evening on account of the indisposition
of Rev. 1). E. Camak,
hut Brother Camak is better now
and he tilled his pulpit here last
night and there was two applicants
for church membership and two
penitents at the altar for prayer, all
of them young men.
As the dispensary election is near
at hand, it might 1m? in order to
discuss the question for I l<x>k upon
it as a very important and, at the
same time a serious one and a question
which men should think well
about. Those who arc in favor of
retaining the dispensary use that
same old argument, that prohibition
don't prohibit, which is alxmt
all the argument they put up.
Well, suppose it don't entirely prohibit,
can't the same thing be said
of every law upon the statute books
of the country and are wo going to
blot out all the laws and have none
ut all because they don't stop
crime? It depends much upon the
moral support of any law how
much it will 1m; respected and
dieyed. From the year 1882 until
I8!X) we had a prohibitory law in
fonesville and it had the moral support
of most of the people of the
