ONION, S. C, NOVKMBKB l<?. 19(5.
I'nion holds the reputation and
is famous for strange, mysterious
and unaccountable happenings and
doing things unprecedented, diabolical,
unheard or thought of hv
any other people or place in the
known world and we would not l?e
at all surprised to hear next Sunday
n lorn in {4 that the standpipc had
heeii hurned to the ground the night
before.
The injunction proceedings instituted
by ('. T. Sims, Ksip, before
bulge Klugh to prevent the holding
of an eleelion in SpartanViurg county
on the question of dispensary or no
dispensary was deni^-J and dismissed
. V " ?
by iht ittdge. therefore tilt", election
was held on the day fixed for the
holding. bulge Klugh held as
.bulge Townsend held in the 1'nion
enmity ease that the Urice law is
constitutional.
PREQUENT EIRES.
'idie freipieney of tires in the eity
of f'nion for the past week smacks
strongly of incendiary nrigvh. The
burning of the dwelling oiv Churchi
? ?/Pcupicd by Messrs. MeCJowsm !
and Gregory, lx)th members of the |
polieo force, the tire having started J
as is Very evident on the outside of
the building in a small wood shed {
attached to the dwelling on the j
north side, opposite the street, j
shows it to I e of incendiary origin. '
Tin* burning of tlu* tire department
house on Main street just 'J I hours
later would lead one to believe that
some one was seeking vengeance out
of malice to the town or some of
the. otlicers. The burning of the
lire department is without precedent
in the history of any town or city,
ft' there be a place in the limits of
the. city that should and is supposed
to be safe and free from lire, it is
the tire department house; but in
this instance it has proved to the
contrary, however, under certain
circumstances no place is absolutely
safe. We have been under the
impression that there was some one
awake and on watch at the lire department
house all night and every
night. This is as it should be, but
it seems that this is not the ease
here. If those; who stay at this
place at night do not remain awake
the alarm should be of such a character
as to awaken them at once.
The night police who walk on thi> ;
beat should never he far away at :
any hour of the night. We suggest 1
that the night force; of police be '
doubled, and some one- required
to be at headquarters all night, and
(in- police who patrol the streets he ,
required to report at headquarters t
every hour of the night. There 1
may 1 e a young tire tiend in t'nion ^
a* there was in Charleston; look ?
out for him. j \
THE STATE AIND ITS LAWS, v
?
It must have struck many persons ' s
as a queer position for the governor u
and attorney general to take, in de- |
( lining to try to uphold a statute of <
the state when it was brought in ti
question I adore a I'nited States ; p
court, as the "Briee Act" was, he- J t(
fore Judge I'ritchard at Asheville, J a
N. C'.. on Tuesdav. The ?r? ?-ou f.
passed l?y the South Carolina legis- 11
future and approved hy the govcr- 1<
nor; and when a dispenscr-out-of-a- n
job went into the United States h<
court to upset it, the state's execti- si
live and law departments stood j a^
aside aiul would have let their own
statute ho declared null and void,
hy default; and private citizens,
members of a law and order league,
had to come to the defense of tin
date's right?the right of the state
to enact its own laws.
When President Hunter of tlu
I law and order league of Newl>erry
county applied to the, attorney
general's olliee for the law on certain
features of the dispensary system
he was told that it was not tlu
duty of the department to furnisl
law for leagues which is pvobablj
so. But it develops in the case a1
Asheville that the league is rnori
anxious to uphold the state's owi
law than the law department of tlu
state is.
Wonder if the executive' and lav
departments would have proved s<
indilYerent if the law that established
the dispensary system hat
h'-en attacked instead of the lav
that looks to getting rid of it. Oiu
is as much the law of the state a:
the other.
It is a layman's opinion that tlu
law department of the state was
remiss in not coining to the dcfensi
of a state law when it was attacker
in the I'nited States eourt.?New
berry oliscrver.
Tut: I"m<>n Timks endorses evcrj
word of the above, and furthei
says, we believe it to he the duty o
the State through the attorney
general to aid in upholding ever}
law ujH>n the statute l?ooks atu
thus vindicate, until our owi
supreme eourt passes upon the eonstitutionality.
WOMAN'S MISSION.
It i> with fear and trembling that
we venture to write, upon this subject,
and we shall go just far enougl
to provoke an expression by one ol
the sex in reply to what we say.
As the educational advantages in crease,
the field of woman's work
widens, and we find woman engaged
in nearly every oceupation formerly
confined to man. The women ol
today do not hesitate to engage in
nearly every occupation formerly
confined to man. The women of
today do not hesitate to engage, in
anything in which there is a dollar,
' iuv' by pushing themselves iutotlie
ruyuuT ^'departments of trade, arts,
s*?!?VcVs and professions at a lower
i wage rate than man can work for,
man is driven from his legitimate
oceupation and must resort to other
means and measures of support,
which sometimes leads to crime.
The filling of positions by women
at smaller salaries has driven men
to exasperation in search of honest
labor. The filling of positions by
women lessens the prospects of men
to marry and care for a family.
Many jmsitions now held by women
has the undesirable efiect of unsexing
her. We do not believe in a
career for woman, Ibis places her
beyond her natural sphere, and she
loses her sweet femininity. God
created Adam and placed him in
the garden of Eden surrounded by
..11*1 1 "
an mr iM'iiuiifS ot nature in the
vegetable and animal kingdom, and
Adam associated with the beasts,
birds and Mowers, yet he was dejeeted,
and (lod took pity on him
and created woman as a congenial
companion, a help mate, thus it
will be seen that woman was created
for man, not as his slave, not to
take his place in the avocations of
life, but to make for him a home
in the true sense of the word. A
woman's mission is that for which
-he was originally created and when
she elopes from this to make for
herself a career she disobeys the
livine command and becomes the
leading character in the great drama
low being played, known as race
mieide. We cannot in this include
nany who arc driven by necessity
o become bread winners. We do
lot think that there ever lived a
vomaii who from choice remained
nnnarried and therefore classed old
naids, if so, then she is the ovcen
ion, and doubtless lias her mission
s such. Kvery woman looks for- i
raid with longing for the day that ,
lie will become the loving wife of ;
ome man and have a home of her |
>wn, in which she will reign su- j
ireme as the queen of the domestic
ircle, this is natural and the only 4
rue happiness which she antieiates.
There is an army of women
aching school, among them there j
re many who have made it a pro ssion
rather than a trade for the .
loney that is in it, these are in ^
>vc with the work and therefore
lake good teachers and are an x
onor and blessing to the profeson.
Yet they are not immune or j,
rcrsc to the uiurriagc tic.

Messrs. Jeter and Cook Have
Narrow Escape?Death of {
Mrs. Ella Eaves?Other News.
' JoSKSVlLLK, Nov. (>tll. TllC ;
weather continues favorable for all
kinds of. work and our people are:
making good use flf the line fall to
" gather crops, build houses and all
; other out door work.
1 Last Haturday evening Mr. K. II. i
r Jeter was driving into town with
t Mr. Hob Cook in the phaeton with
; him. Mr. Jeter was driving two
1 mules and where Church street
crosses the railway near the oil
mill and calaboose there was a I
freight train passing which cut Mr. |
> Jeter olT, but the mules bucked and
plunged forward, and the phaeton
' struck the moving train which
>' snapped the pole of the vehicle and
- the mules turned aside into tlx"
5 ditch and Messrs. Jeter and Cook i
jumped out and the phaeton went
J on against the train which knocked
# it against a freight car that was
standing on the side track, and it 1
' was reduced to kindling wood.
" The men and mules were not hurt,
hut more or less frightened, and
* well they might have l>een, for it
i- was a narrow escape with their lives,
j- Hy the way, this is a dangerous
crossing.
Miss Hell Free gave a nice llal'
lowu'cn party last week. More
1 than a dozen couples of young
( people were present, and it was
quaint and queer to see the different
disguises, which to one of my
age and observation brought hack
the horrid looks of the Kn Klux
Klan. After the disguises were
dumped refreshments were served,
i hut not until a good romtd of laugh .
ter was indulged hi at the mistaken
( ideas the party had as to who w:u
, who' before the masks fell.
' Dr. M. W. Chambers is still a
. very sick man, while Mr. 1J. \V.
- l.emastcr is better.
Mrs. Ella Eaves, who lived near
I Kelton, died Saturday evening,
and was buried yesterday evening
at Bethlehem. Pneumonia was
the cause of her death, and there
are several more cases of pneumonia
in the neighborhood.
Yesterday evening for a time the
srteets of Jonesville were made lively
by a wedding party who drove

where Rev. JolmG. Fair had made

was Miss Delia Rolick, and the
groom was Mr. J. L. Waldrop, a
good looking and happy Smiling
couple.
The deep well at our hotel has
been completed at last. It is a
inch well, It>9 feet deep, with a
head of water 12?) feet deep. The
water is pure, good, free stone
water, all surface water being cut
entirely otY. The pump used is a
llumsey and it brings water at
J about the second stroke. Jonesville
.ought to have at least a half dozen
'such wells as this. The cost of this
' well is two dollars per foot.
! Mrs. J. L. McWhirter has returned
from her extended trip to
California to the meeting of fho
Daughters of the Confederacy.
Mrs. McWhirter was gone more
than five weeks, going through and j
I visiting the cities of Louisville, St.
Louis, Kansas City, Salt Lake, San
Francisco, Los Angeles, Portland,
Seattle and other places. She trav"
eveled more than eight thousand
miles and had no mishap and re- ,
turned home safely. The trip was J
j a grand one and did not cost but j
about four hundred dollars.

"An interesting question has i
