The Winthrop college girls can
now snap the fingers of their right
hand and place one finger of their
left hand to the side of their nose
and smile meaningly and defiantly
at tlio trustees since the legislature
has said that all state colleges must
give a holiday to the students from
December 23 to January 4 of the
next year so that they may go home
and enjoy the Christmas holidays. ,
This then establishes a new and
distinct legal holiday for the State <
colleges. We rejoice with the Winthrop
girls.

When last heard from they had

were making preparations for a |

may get a shot at a deer or cinnamon

have the dogs and guns equal to a

Mr. A. D. Price, of Elkton, Md.,
was the guest of honor at a reception
Wednesday evening, given by
Mrs. E. R. Wallace, I)rs. J. M.
Wallace and Theodore Maddox, and
Messrs. B. F. Alston and W. A.
Clark. About sixty guests were
present, and were kept well entertained
throughout the evening in
various ways. Guessing the name
of each person's first photo, writing
poetry on a given subject, drawing
and in various other ways. Every
one present went away thoroughly
entertained, and speaking in the
highest terms of the hospitality received.
Salads, sandwiches and
' coffee were served.
The grand jury recommend that
an election be held for the purpose
of voting upon the question of is
suing bonds to the amount of one
hundred thousand dollars to l>e
used in the grading and macadamizing
the public roads of the
county. If this be done by the
legislature at this session it will be
in addition to what has already
been asked by the county commissioners
in their estimate of county
expenses upon which the legisla|
ture bases the levy for each county
embraced in the supply and appropriation
bill. This will be too
much for the citizens for the year
11906.

A STATUE OF CALHOUN.
Kings Mountain Chapter D. A. R. Desire
to PlaGe one in Statunry Hail,
Washington, D. C.
T? the Editor of Union Times: .
My Dear Sir:?Wc, the undersigned,
representing the Kings
Mountain Chapter D. A. It., Yorkville,
S. C., wish to call your attention
and that of your readers to
i work which we beg your cordial
help and cooperation. It lias long
been a source of regret and mortification
that South Carolina has no
ep resen tation in the National
Statuary Ilall of the capitol at
Washington. This statuary room
vas the old hall of representatives,
t was the scene of the debates of
Webster and Clay, Adams, Calloun
and others whose names are
ndelibly associated with the history
)f congress. In 1801, at the suggestion
of Senator Morrill, of Vermont,
the room was set apart as a
National Statuary Hall, to which
<nr>l> Sitr.*.. 1 ll?

>f two of her chosen sons in marble
)r bronze to be placed permanently
lere. No South Carolinian ever
dews those stately statues erected
>y practically all the states of the
inion in memory of their "chosen
>ons" without wondering why our
nvn place has been so long empty,
ind wishing that we too could point
ivith pride to a representative occupying
the space allotted to South
Carolina. The Kings Mountain
jhnpter is, desirous of starting a
novemcnt to remedy this long
standing neglect. We have
vritten to every woman's organization
in the State, askng
them to join us in petitioning
:he Legislature to appropriate at
he present session the sum of
wenty five thousand dollars (S'25,XK))
for the purpose of erecting a
statue of John C. Calhoun in the
National Statuary Hall in Washingson.
We regard Calhoun as South
Carolina's most representative man;
ic was for forty years the most conspicuous
and influential figure in
lational politics; he was Represcnativc,
Senator, Secretary of War,
secretary of State and Vice-l'resilent.
We do hope that you will
jive us your support and help in
his work. We wish through your
paper to appeal to every South Car)linian,
man and woman, to honor
.his draft" upon your patriotism,
iiid bog them to respond to the effort
we are making to have our booved
State take her rightful place
n the Halls of the Nation. We
shall ho exceedingly obliged if you
kvill give this letter a place in the
xilumns of your paper.
Very respectfully yours,
Mrs. Virginia Mason Bratton,
Miss Maggie A. Gist,
Miss Leslie I). Witherspoon,
Mrs. G. H. O'Leary,
Mrs. Walter B. Moore, Regent.
[A bust of marble, bronze or
day would be a sufficient statue of
Dalhoun and fill the niche allotted
;o South Carolina in the statuary
mil. We fear the ladies have their
rights too high, and would suggest
v more modest demand upon the
patriotism and generosity of our
representatives in the general assembly
just at this time.?En.l

ro His Honor, R. W. Memifllnger, Judge
Presiding at the Winter Term of
Court for Union County, 1906.
We, the Grand Jurors of Union
Uounty, beg to submit this our report.
We have carefully examined
[ill indictments handed us hy the
Solicitor and have passed upon
them as the evidence seemed to justify.
We have hy committees visited
County Parish, Chain-Gang and
Jail, and have found each in good
condition. We recommend that
the cells in the jail he heated.
The patients in the parish are
well provided for and seemed perfectly
contented. The chain-gang
had no complaint to make. The
jail is clean and in good condition.
We recommend that our Senators
ana Representatives take necessary
steps at once to have an election
held in Union County during the
primary election 100G, for the purpose
of voting bonds to the value ol
one hundred thousand dollars, the
proceeds of said bonds to be used
for the purpose of grading and macadamizing
the public highways ol
Union County outside and beyond
the limits of any incorporated towns.
Weextend to his Honor, also to
the Solicitor and other officers ol
the court our thanks for their counsel
and courtesies shown us during
