UNION, S. C., OCTOBER 6. 1905.
It affords us great pleasure to l>o
able to congratulate Clinton upon
being successful in retaining the
Presbyterian college, because we
think Clinton deserves to have it
in preference to all others. We
think therefore that the decision of
tin; trustees a wise and just one.
It speaks well for our State, that so
many counties in her borders desire
such an institution, which unquestionably
is an evidence of an
increasing desire for higher education
moral and religious training.
The visit of Secretary Taft and
party to the orient has done and
will do more to bring about a more
friendly relation and commercial
advancement being in closer touch
through the instrumentality of such
a visit at this the most opportune
time. The conclusion of the war
IHit ween hussia and Japan and the
declaration of peace and good feeling.
A greater confidence will prevail
and all nations be benefitted,

It is not within the memory of
the oldest citizen since 1815, when
tin month of September had such a
light rain fall as has been this year.
In each year we have what is known
a 5 the equinoctial gale, and much
rain and wind at this time, but this
year we have had none. Rut it
may be like the old darkey said,
"we will have an August freshet if
she don't come till October." Much
suffering to people and vegetation
is caused by the protracted dry 1
weather. The dust is almost suffocating.

We are pleased beyond expression i
that the stockholders of the I'nion i
and RuiTalo Cotton Mills were able *
to reach unanimous and amicable j
adjustment of what seemed a hard ,j
problem in the affairs of these mills, e
The proceedings were harmonious, t
and those interested felt that they J1
should work together for the best ,
<1'
interest of 'nil concerned. That G
there was no lack of confidence in e^
the ability and fidelity of Mr. Dun- ct
can was shown by his reelection to rt
that position and characteristic of j
his magnanimity he at once resign- ]\|
ed, and then by the unanimous at
vote of the same stockholders he Pwas
made chairman of the l>oard of
directors, which position in many j
respects is a more responsible posi- f0]
tion in the mill conduct than that
^resident. It is gratifying to *w
' .. services of the presi- ,l '

The increase in population and not
the advance in civilization has given
to this country a corresponding increase
in tramps and vagrants whose
business and sole purpose in life is
to get something for nothing. The
bolder and more daring of this class
of citizens arc the highway robher
and burglar. Wc must attribute
the increase of such characters more
to foreign immigration than native,
however many native tramps and
vagrants are among us in all colors
of skin, yet the example set by the
foreign immigrants in strikes, footpads
and also tramps of a more
docile character arc in later years
more numerous than ever. The
laws already of force should lie more
rigidly enforced, and if the laws arc
cnii'i. ?~4 ?

such a law should he enacted. A
tramp conies into a town or city,
his no means of support, does not
try to got work, hut on the contrary
depends upon hogging and heating
his way, at once he is a nuisance
and should he taken in hand hy the
city authorities and put to work.
The tramp beats his way on the
cars from place to place, at last he
is killed hy the train, or meets his
death hy some other accident or
starvation, then it becomes the duty
of the puhiic to care for the body
and bury it. This expense is lxirnc
by the city or county. This doubtless
could have been saved and the
life of the tramp also had the authorities
taken charge of him and
put him to work, and once put to
work it is possible to reform this
poor tramp and make a good and
useful citizen of him.
There is always much to lie gained
hy proper action in all eases. It
seems though that what is cverv
body's business is nobody's business,
and no action is taken. It is
a certain fact that the law is not
being enforced with reference to
tramps and vagrants. It is the idle,
worthless characters who daily fill
our courts, both municipal andcirperson
to go to work and earn an
honest living. The temptations
surrounding the idle are too great
to be resisted and one evil leuds to
another, and finally results in some
fearful crime, all of which could
have been averted by strict enforcement
of the law.

Jon ksvillk, Oct. 2nd.?Times
are quite lively on our streets now,
and everyone is bending to business
and endeavoring to succeed, and
this is all right, for a lazy, slothful
person is a nuisance to a town or
community. Did T say every one
is bending every nerve for success?
Well I will amend that and say
