Developing the Water Power of Pair forest Creek. ?. At the old Murphy mill site there is a very fine site for the erection of a cotton mill or some other plant to be run by water power. The shoals just below the bridge which has for a great many years furnished a sufficient fall to run several mjlls, is an iderl spot for a large cotton :ii \\r.. linn ui ttiijr uuiui wauh; pmm. u u do not know the exact fall per hundred feet, but it is a very fine fall. And the character of the stone there in great abundance is said to be of the very best. We learn that these shoals have been recently visited by some capitalist, and it is believed that machinery of some sort will be run by the waters of old Fair Forest creek at this point. It is only 5 miles from Union, and tho public road leading tc this point is now being put in good order. The county chain gang is at work on this road and the road has been changed in some places, which makes it stroighter and avoids the steepest hills, and systematic grading has been done according to the surveyor's level.

Martin will probab again start the "agitation" for t! removal of the Citadel. While t views of the State Superintende on this form of agitation are int< esting it would be equally interei ing to know whether or not revel tions about Robert C. Ogden ai his partner, .John Wanamaker, ai their relations to Booker Washir ton and the negroes of the sou have cau&ed any change in his es mate of the Ogden movement.. M Martin, we believe, has been one the most faithful and consistent the backers of what is populai called "Ogdenism."

Foster, president of the Union Library Association, lias issued a call for a meeting of the Indies of the city to be held next Thursday morning, Octolxjr 2<>, at 11 o'clock, for the purpose of organizing the Union Civic Improvement league. It is earnestly requested that all the ladies who are interested will attend the meeting and unite in this effort to beautify and improve the city. The first object and just now the main purpose of the league when formed will lie to improve and make more beautiful the grounds surrounding the Carnegie library which is a handsome building and one that deserves a prettier setting, later on, the broader object of beautifying the town in general will be taken up and furthered. It 1" IV io J1U1V41JI llWUUCttly LV7 Hill 1111^ commend this worthy purpose and tho best wishes and cordial cooperation and support of every citizen should be given to this organization which has for its purpose the making of a more beautiful city. In other towns of South Carolina, the achievements of similar organizations have indeed wrought wonders in beautifying the aspect and appearance of the streets and publie squares. The Civic Improvement Leagues of Anderson and Columbia are noteworthy examples of organizations which have l>ecn eminently successful in the work they have attempted. Out of inornate and barren streets and public squares they have brought beautiful and artistic places. The opportunity for such work in Union is apparent. The streets and the squares might be improved wonderfully and with little expense and effort the city might be greatly beautified. There is no better advertisement for a city than its neat and attractive streets and places. This is indeed a progressive movement that should be heartily encouraged by all citizens and it doubtless will l>e. Its purpose is commendable and excellent and the desirable results it. will olinn* can already be anticipated here in a city which with small effort and public spirit can be made as beautiful as any city in the Palmetto State. Let every lady interested attend the meeting next Thursday. The purpose is a worthy one. The opportunity for good work is evident, and we hope in the next issue to be able to announce formally the 1 organization of a large and enthusiastic Civic Improvement League for - the city of Union.
