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.

Mr. Editor: I looked over t
supply of ladies jackets in Unio
with my wife, for the purpose
making a purchase, but as I w
going to Spartanburg the next da
we concluded that it would be wi
to sec what was to be had there t
fore making a selection; and I a
glad to be able to say, that the su
ply of ladies cloaks, rain coats ai
jackets in Union is superior in ta.<
and elegance to the supply in Spt
tanburg; that is to say, in quali
and style, for they have larg
stocks in Spartanburg. I boug
for my wife in Union; and if t
ladies of Union can find anythi;
in that line in Union that th
wish, I am sure that they will g
as stylish an article and cheap
ior tne quality tuan in Spartanbu
or any other town or city. I ft
as if I ought to write this in justi
to my town. J. Clough Walla.
Mr. Martin, Ogdenism an
Citadel Removal.
The Spartanburg Journal sa
that State Superintendent of Ed
cation O. B. 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." Things ha
been said and heard about ft
Ogden since ho was in Columb
which have wrought a considcral
change in the sentiments held
many of his former admirers
a^..*u r* u..? \
juuwi vauniiiu, uui iiuuiui^ j
been heard from the head of t
educational system of the State.
We would avoid diverting c
tirely Mr. Martin's attention frc
the Citadel removal "agitation
but we trust that he will voluntar
divide it and say whether or not
thinks that South Carolina teach
should co-operate with the Conf
once for Education in the gov
while Mr. Robert C. Ogdeu is
president.

IMPORTANT MEETING CALLED i
Civic lm|>rovement League to
Be Organized Next Week.
Mrs. A. H. 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.
