UNION, S. C., OCTOBER LO, 19t 5.
The swindling ami graft, all <
which amounts to theft, pure an
simple, in high places by high oll'u
ials who are regarded ordinarily a
being above suspicion, is all vcr
humiliating to the people of a Stat
whose ollieials have ever in the pa>
borne the reputation of being th
b'st. The stealing in the dispell
stry operations, county supervisor
and treasurers and now a >tat
treasurer is perfectly alarming, an

CONSISTENCY.
Consistency is an attribute rccog
nized in heaven and on earth as
redeeming trait of character in fra
mankind, since consistency is
priceless jewel. The inconsistent*,
of some newspapers that arrcgat
to themselves the credit of doin
more to advertise the many advan
tages of their home tt?wn and com
munity is as paradoxical as the silt
cess of failure or progressive set
hack, in that these same paper
publish to the world so far as thei
limited circulation extends, in th
most attractive and sensationa
manner every business failure o
financial trouble that overtakes an,
p *rson or corporation that they luu
hitherto been praising as induce
incut for investment for those out
side the territory, thus discount gin
the very enterprises they had elaime<
to further by judicious advertising
Passing strange how forgetful w
sometimes are of what we have sai
in the past, thus causing a coined
of errors, resnltincr sometimes in
tragedy of results.
NOT REDEEMED BY K. K. \
It is very true that the Ku Klu
Klau as an orgainization did nt
redeem the State from Radical, rei
egade, carpet bag, negro rule i
and it is none the less tn
that this organization paved tl
way to the successful redemption 1
a stubborn resistance of many in
lawful and insufferable perpetr;
tions and the rulers of that day hi
came intimidated and frightem
for fear of Ku Klux operations lx
ing carried nearer headquarters an
the heads of departments becon
the victims. Certainly the K
Klux put a stop to the burning <
gin houses and barns in the Nortl
ern counties of this State, and it is
fact undisputed that a large major
ty of the members of genuine (n<
of the clandestine) Ku Klux Kin
wore the red shirt. The operation
of the genuine Ku Klux were d<
signed to correct and punish on
rages perpetrated hy those then i
authority, whose acts had heen ii
stigated hy the carpet hag ollicei
of the State, and not like the elar
destine Klan, for private vengeance
the latter heing traitors, and di
nothing to help redeem the Stat(
as did the genuine, who wore tli
red shirt. However the fear of tli
Ku Klux had taken nossession <
that class we most desired to ri
the State of, and the red shii
was regarded l?y them as a produc
of the dreaded K. K.'s, thus mak
ing the task of the red shirt easie
of accomplishment. Mr. Thoma
Dixon has the dates of reconstruc
tion in South Carolina and her rea
period of redemption somewhat eon
fused; but in reasoning from caus
jo final effect, the Ku Klux wcr
1 quite jx?teiit as a warning power of'
what would come to pass if a change j
was not made in the administration |
of State affairs. The lirst organizar
tion of the Ku Klux Klan was in I
istis, when long processions of]
j mounted men rode through the
country, hut did nothing hut awe!
and frighten, while the K. K.'s of
t 1X70 operated in the night time exclusively
and administered corporal
1 punishment and sometimes death.
^ We are satisfied that the determined
spirit ?f the K. K. manifested in
0 those days toright our wrongs, was
^ in a great measure conducive to our
.. success in 1X70.

Last week was very quiet in our

the market. Farmers arc having

they sold some cotton at ten cents

Lockliart, Oct. 1(5.?This has
' ! hccn a pretty fall for gathering the
crops and the time has not heen
u wasted around here. The farmers
,f will soon complete their work and
the sowing of wheat and other grain
will hegin before long.
The cotton fields in many places
present a black appearance and are
>t , no longer white. Tin* crop will
n ' soon he one of the past. It eeri
tainly seems that if the farmers
J will quit selling, they will secure
better prices in the future,
t" One of our most successful farmn
ers, Mr. W. B. Fowler, worked this
year an experimental farm, as it
|>s were, in which he planted in the
same field two rows of corn, two of
j cotton, and one of peas, making
'? J three crops on the same piece of
d ground and making a good crop
from each. Just now, he is sowing
the same place in rye.

Resolutions Adopted by Every
Tuesday Club Upon Death
of Mrs. P. E. Pant.
before another year has dawned
upon the life of the "Every Tuesday"
club, death has entered our
midst and summoned hence one of
our most valued members, Mrs.
Mattic Gage Fant.
We deem it a high privilege to
give some expression however inadequate,
to our joy in her life,
and our sorrow in her death.
The life that has just closed, unfolded
before us in constant relationship;
we saw the beauty of
goodness that shone out in each act
and word, with such gracious
charm of manner, the bright spirit,
that was alwavs lvadv to cheer, the
unselfish devotion to friends in
kindly helpful interest. These
noble qualities of heart were united
in her with a clear and forceful intellect
and wit and humor which
shed a special radiance in her
presence. She has left in our minds
an image that can nefer fade, and
in our hearts an influence that can
not die. May wc not believe that
the tender memory she has left with
us here will add a star to her crown
in the world to come. Her mission
on earth is fulfilled and "How
know we, what had need of her.'?
He it therefore resolved, That
though we bow in humble submission
to the decree of an all wise and
merciful power, that in the death
of Mattie Gage Fant the Every
Tuesday club has lost an earnest
and eflicient member, and each of
us a dear comrade, whose absence
is sorely felt.
That the above be placed upon
the minutes of the club and also
published in the city papers.
Mrs. N. C. Portkk,
Mrs. L. D. Millkk,
Mrs. F. M. Duncan.
! In the death of our beloved member,
Mi's. I*. E. Fant, nee Miss
Mattie Gage, wo feel to have sustained
as a club a most severe loss.
Her personality was such as to
.lend a peculiar charm, brightening
each life she touched, while her
gracious presence and refining influence
in her beautiful new home
made her indeed a queen.
