HNION, S. C.f JULY 6, 1906.
"If. like it you don't, Lump-il
y<u-kin," says our senior Senator.
Sarah Bernhardt praises tin
"pure air" of America; evidently,
slio <lid not visit Chicago and South
Car. ?lina.
Let William Jennings Bryan continue
his travels and his presidential
Loom will continue to grow; hul
hut let him In-ware of l'aris, lest In
he rated with certain American!
11 >w resident there.
Senator Tillman has gone baek oi
one of his institutions viz., the earn
paign system; now if he will hu'
disown that other, which has provei
not only such a failure hut alsosuel
a stench to the people of South Car
olina, he will win the hearts o!
many people and endear himsell
where liefore he has been so bitterly
opp. >sed.
The people of Union and Unior
county, realizing the importance at
tached to the senatorial race thii
* y<*ar, desire to hear the two con
testants. We respectfully sugges
that a committee of citizens, as earlj
as possible invite Senator Tillmar
and Col. Lumpkin to speak ir
Union; and that this be done at ar
early date before they are crowdec
with engagements.
Has 1 nion any claims for bettei
railroad service? Considering th<
amount of traffic, U>th freight anc
passenger, we think it has. Cai
she get it? The united efforts of he
commercial interests can com main
Utter accommodations and nothinj
i ~ / il'. :n mi. . o ..4l
Mion ui mis ever win. i ne r>nuin
cm Railway is noted for never do
ing anything it is not compelled to
and we think it high time the peo
pie of I'nion were stepping forwar<
with their just demands.
Senator Cole I.. Mease, candidal
f< r governor, lias placed himself ii
a jM-euliar situation. He, as Senator
introduced the hill authorizing
the appointment of a dispensary investigating
committee. This committee,
of which Mr. Tilease is chairman,
has undoubtedly unearthed
much graft and corruption. Now
la- stands before the people urging
that the dispensary system is alright,
and defies his opponents t<
point out the grafters. Then
must he something beneath
it all; for, as chairman ol
this committee he should know of
its work and he aware of the results.
And then why did he start an investigation?
If there was and is
nothing wrong in the system why
?li<l he conceive the idea of an investigation?
Cole l?. 1 >lease will
confer a favor on the voters of South
Carolina if he will come out squarely
with a statement of his estimat*
regarding hoth the committee and
the dispensary.
The Abbeville Medium refuse* t<
lie convinced that there i> any goni
tiling in prohibition. The Kditoi
of that pa|xir agrues that sipce Mayor
Young is calling upon the eitizi
ns of I'nion to help enforce th<
law it is plainly shown that tie
present state of prohibition is not
worth a cent. That is just, when
the esteemed Editor of the Medium
is iii error. That the present con1
dition is not a farce .Is.pVoved by,
the fact that th?^ citizensUnion 1.
arc taking cnoifyi interest in the '
matter to lend Ihcir support to the i.
olliccrs of tin; law', and also
fact that our otliecrs arc taking,'A
I lirm stand against the lawless liquor
dealers. Itcsidcs, Mayor YoUng is j
not calling u|H?n the citizens to enforce
the law. lie is giving a
wholesome and patriotic lecture to
, those found guilty in his court of
li |Uor selling. 11 is will is to tell
the offenders that tiny may take
warning themselves and also to pass
the word on to others engaged in
like lawless occupation that he expeets
to put the full penalty of the
law upon those convicted in his
court. Is there anything wrong in
t that? How better can the lesson of
1 the law's sacredncss be iniDrcssed I
.' u|>on the minds of the lawless indi|
viduals? No, the Mayor's position
is not proving the ease the Medium
j tries to work out. It is all the othUr
way, and the Mayor of Union,
! his ollieers and the State constables
' 1 have won the resjMct of the good j
people of this community. Let the
j good work go on, gentlemen. The j
j trouble with some people is in the I
fact that prohibition is prohibiting, ^
and that t<m? right here in Union. I
And it is not "only the right, but it
is the duty of the law-abiding poo- j
I pie to encourage the officers of the!
t law in the discharge of their duty, j
sit steadyIn IheTaddle.

| This is the time for the citizens of
1 Union to show the quality of their
j citizenship. We are not without
the croakers who prophesy hard
I times and reverses ahead. Here and
( there we find a man who says:
"The l>ottom has dropped out of
I Union," or another who says:
I "Heal estate is going to drop to j
. nothing." We resja'ctfully invite
such individuals to try a hand at !
purchasing some Union dirt. It
i will bring alniut a sound cure when j
. such an individual realizes how high j
a is the Drice that must be nnid T.et !
. him start out to rent a nice cottage I
( ami lie will fiml that there is none i
? to lie hud. Cotton Mill failure and j
i Building and Loan failure have not j
, yet "knocked the bottom out of
) Cnion." These things have hurt
1 in a way, the most serious hurt l>eing
the destruction of business confidence.
But we are going forward
r in spite of these backsets. Perhaps
L. it is good for our souls that these
\ calamities have come upon us. They
^ will serve to keep us humble ami
r cause us to strive more faithfully for
] the up-building of our city. Ixit
the croakers croak: they are built
. that way, and cannot help it. Let
.! the real friends of our city show
their pluck and courage; nothing
. J is out of joint. Already we have
1 come to safety. The general pros- j
j perity of our county is ahead of anything
in its history since the war.
. Even here in the very seat of the !
, financial troubles everything is
. moving si cm my on. \\ e do not
, know of a single vacant store room '
.: in Union, nor do we know of a single
home, lit for one to live in, that
. can Ih had. It is said that newsI
papers are about the last to get
their money. .Judging by that ev-,
, eryhody else must have already got.
t' 11 theirs, for we never had a better
, three months in our history than
. the pa-t quarter. Many new sub!
scrihers gave us their names and
11heir money; many old subscribers
paid up their subscription. A few
weeks ago our Cotton <! rowers as-1
soeiation for I'nion county rojiorted
I'JOO bales of cotton still in the
hands of the farmers of Union couty.
Let the pessimist go ahead
I with his sorrowful face; he would
i look sour if the whole world was a
. lump of sugar.
County Assessor Waylaid.
J. \V. Coulter, of Leslie, S. !>., Asse-sor
of Stanley Conntv. relates the
following: 4,l was waylaid by a coin-.
plication of throat and 111ntr troubles,
bronchitis, asthma and a terrible rough,
1 which had affected me for years, when
I was persuaded to try l>r. King's New
Discovery. Relief came almost immediately,
and in a short time a permanent
cure resulted." No other medicine
compares with it as a sure and
rpiick cure for eonghs and colds. It
' cures after all other remedies have
failed. Kvery bottle guaranteed at!
i n 11 druggists. Price 50c. and $1.00,
. Trial hottle free.

VWls Closed ? Pound Party ? Ice !
Cream Suppers?Tent Meetings
And Other Items.
The Union Cotton Mills closed for
the Fourth and the operatives enjoyed
the day in various ways; so mo
going to Ncals Shoals, others going
to Buffalo to witness the hall games j
and to partake of harhecued meats,
while others were glad of the opportunity
t>> remain at home and rest.
On Saturday evening of last week
the nn mhers ot the Second Baptist j
church :i noiiml ivirlv t<? flmir I
pastor, 1'i-v. 1). I>. Hichardson.
Mi was the recipient of in:iny things
in the way of hams, bacon and oth-,
ep groceries as well as wearing ap- '
parel and several dollars in money,
llev. Mr. Hichardson is very thankful
for the many good things received
.
There w:is an ice cream supper at
the Second Baptist church given hy
the Sunday school. There was it
postolliee where, hy pitying two Cents
the hoys would get letters written
hv some of their lady friends, and | |
this feature proved very amusing. I |
There will he another supper at the! j
same place tomorrow night. You j
are invited to come. I
A Mr. Houknight, a holiness
preacher is preaching every night
in his tent erected near Godshall'sj
niiirkct.
One day hist week two colored ,
damsels employed as cooks hy dif- i
fercnt fitmilics, became involved in
it difficulty, and as usual one got
the better of the otln r,when the vie-,
tor seeing the vanquished making |
for her place of work, and not be-1
ing as yet satisfied with her work |
followed in hot pursuit and catch- j j
ing hold of the others clothes just as |
she reached her cooking place I j
succeeded in partly disrobing her vie-;
tim and no doubt would have fin-1
ished the job had not the lady of
the house, who hearing the racket!
came out and separated the comba- i
tants. The lady was very much j
em harassed as at the time she was I
entertaining a minister.
The wedding which was to have ]
been last Sunday has for some reus- I
on been postdated, and at this
writing cannot tell when it will occur.
|
The I'nion Cornet Band has got
mjii 11s sacreu music anu is getting
ready to give Sunday concerts
at the band park. Mayor Young
lias kindly promised to see that the
electric light will bo replaced in the
park so the boys can give concerts _
through the week.
The ice cream supper near Fike's
store Saturday night, was very well
attended. The voting contest was
.very dull only one vote being east. U
The general health of our com- n
munity is very good there being no u
severe fever cases, only a few sick cj
being reported and these are not d
confined to their rooms. T
The stork visited the home of w
"Boots" Howell on Saturday night tl
and left a little girl. a:
Rev. I). 1). Richardson is quite T
ill at his home having been confined 1
to his room since Tuesday. ir
The Union Cornet Band played a
for the baseball games at Buffalo on ii
the Fourth and they report a jolly j tl
time. They appreciate the many : 8
courtesies shown them by the good n
people of that place and it will be
a pleasure for the l>oys to again visit
them at some future date. R

Hot Supper and Ice Cream. B
The ladies of the Second baptist J
Church will serve hot supper and j ^
ice cr?*im next Saturday night near |
the enureii building. Mash, cluck-1(5
en, meats of all kinds, and other |
palatable dishes will he served; audi J
ice cream and cake for the dainty, j
The I'nion Cornet Hand has kindly
consented to play for tin* occasion, , L
charging nothing for their services. ;
This will be a valuable additon to I j,
the evening's pleasure. As another |
aid in the good work, Mr. hear- ^
nard, of Tiik Timks, will print free '
the handbills announcing the supper.
The Second church owes a debt '
of about 8200, and they wish to | ^
clear this away. The mill authori- (j,
ties have agreed to give half of this, j
provided the members raise the Q
other half. Now, it is earnestly de- j g(
sired that all the good people will |
do their utmost to make a success
of this attempt. Let the ladies
send cream and cake to be sold,
and let the men make contributions. A
This is a worthy cause and should ^
