.?hI mails; Tillman, liis dispensary.
Wninlrr how long sonir of tin-kin
having brrn wishing for "uncle
Ilussrlls ileniise. lint he was provokingly
tenacious of life. Ami,
how unkiml of liini, after so many
years, to leave theni nothing. Disgusting!
The citizens of Union are watching
with much interercst the work
of Chief Long. His manner of attending
the duties of his olliet
commands the respect and commendation
of all law-aLiding
* people.
W e beg to call your attention to
TilK I'mon TlMKs Magazine Bureau.
It is ;i scheme that should deeply
interest tin- reading public of I'nion.
It is not simply a great money saving
device hut is conducive of
systematic reading. You get the
eight lust magazines to read,'and all
for tiftv cents a month. (live us a
call or phone and our agent will see
you.
Senator Tillman charges that his
dispensary has la-en voted out of our
coiuui'S, when the vote polled was
less than a majority of the white
voters enrolled. This may he all
true, hut whose fault is it? Now is
the time to see that your name is on
some denucratie roll. The election
will soon he on and you will want
to cast your vote; now is the time!
to prepare.
Ti e doors of Busscll Sage's tonih
had scarcely closed on that hit of
\
clay, once so mighty, now so low?
before the quarrel over his fortune;
began. Kvety thing was left his,
widow; the other kin are contest-{

can only hope that those who do |
get it will know a little more of
money's use than did its former
o.vner.
I
The Thaw murder case has Keen
i
worn t?? a frazzle hy Northern papers.
Let the South live in hope
that her newspapers will never sink
to their level. This insatiate desire
for sensation, places a class of!
reading matter before the public,
that is not merely degrading in tone
and ultimate effect, hut even crime
inspiring. May our people never
sink so low as to admit or demand
this kind of news.
In another column is a strong article
on good roads. The subject
has been brought up, and Senator |
Latimer discusses it today; we
think it an opportune time for the
people of Union county to concern
themselves, and to take some deli-j
nite steps regarding the improve-1
ment of our roads. It seems that
wonders should l>e worked; and yet1
Union county owns one of the best:
road outfits in the county. Then
where is the trouble? We do not
presume to dictate?it is not our
policy?but we believe that if the
people take the matter up in real
earnestness, the trouble will be healed
and Union country will soon have
roads as good as the In st. Other
counties are forging ahead in this
work, and we cannot afford to stay
behind.
JUDGE BY ITS ERU1TS.
"Even so, every good tree I ringeth
forth good fruit; hut a corrupt
tree I ringeth forth evil fruit. A
good tree cannot bring forth evil
fruit, neither can a corrupt tree
bring forth good fruit." These are
words that fell from the lips of the
Great Teacher. Judged by the law
here stated, the dispensary in South
Carolina will fare badly. This ugly
tree is now full grown. It has
borne fruit. That fruit is anything
but good.. Good! where is there
onoJj|ngle good thing that has come
from ,this corrupt tree? It does not
pay fur taxes. Va ly claim tl at it
helps, llut let the question be fairly
met: How dot's it pay our taxes?
By taking something like a hundred
thousand dollars out of the
pockets of Union county people it
condescended to return us about one,
fifth of that amount to help us pay
our taxes and then turns about.like
tlio ingrate tlmt it is and makes us
spend that much and more in handling
the criminals and taking rare of
the paupers it produces. Fine proportion
this, to l>e sure! Does the
dispensary run our schools? (Jod
tor!>id! The man who did not I>uy
whiskey from the dispensary got
ahout til'tv cents a year from that
source "to help educate his children.*'
The poor fellow who did 1
patronize the dispensary freely failed
to send his child to school, so Ingot
nothing on his children's education.
And even if this accursed
thing did educate children, that
would not prove that it was a worthy
thing. Money lifted from the pockets
of a murdered man hy the ruffian
that slew him may he used to
educate children, hut that would
not make the hideous crime any
the less real. Hilt, men will have
it, anyway, and the State might just
us well reap the profit,*' argue I
maiiV disnensarv advocates. "A
man is going to kill himself anyway,
so I'll furnish him the means with
which to do it because 1 can make
money out of the transaction"?
how docs that tit the case? "But
the dispensary has not had a fair
show. Get good men to run it and
all will he well." Will it? Not!
much, for the plain reason that
good men are not going to run dispensaries.
They fear to do this
evil thing, and well may they fear
it. The curse of < Jod rests ujjon the i
liquor trallic, whether it he sold in
a dispensary or in an open barroom.
Murder follows in its wake and defilement
habitually kee|>s company
with it. Good men sell whiskey!
Not much, not much. "Purify the
tiling and all will he well," say
many honest people. But the disease
is far deeper than such individuals
imagine. It is a case of total
depravity. The thing is inherently
wrong; that is the trouble.
No amount of purging will cleanse,
for its nature is evil. .The trouble
is in the evil nature of the thing it
self, not in its management. Cut
out the decay now on the surface
and the trouble will breakout anew.
The core is rotten. The heart is a
pest-house of shame and sin. Make
it pure and clean! Impossible, imItossible.
As well try to make the
sewer drain pure by turning in a
larger projjortion of pure water.
Besides all this, the dispensary system
is a menace to the liberties of
the people. It turns its hand to
politics, as is manifest at the present
time, for is it not the chief issue
in our politics today? Alas that it
should Imj thus, but the fact remains,
It is a constant source of bribery
I . i? I. i i <

that is no good. It is an "evil
tree" and its fruit cannot In- good.
That's the trouble, and that alone
is'the trouble,

Politics Not Attracting Much Attention?Corn
Stealing?Sunday
School School Convention
at Putnam.
Rev. T. I?. Owens arid family arc;
preparing to get off this week for a'
trip to the mountains l?y private
conveyance. They are expecting a
tip-top time.
Mr. H. H. Robinson, superinten-1
dent of the county chain gang,
passed through here today, Monday,
011 his way to Carlisle, where,
he will do some work. He worked;
near Beulah church last week.
Politics arc very quiet here now.
business has been claiming the,
people's attention till now. Those
who have but little to do may

J idle moment, may unlimber and
tiro oil'a shot, hy way of the spire j
, of life, route.
"Hope deferred, niaketh the
heart siek.'' That hope of laying
hy soon is deferred to a certain extent,
because of so much rain.
The farmers can't lay-by crops, and
that is not the worst of it, as the
profits on the crop all being cut off
if umvorked grassy crops count.
Some lute plantings of corn are
badly in need of work. 1 fearsome
are going on strike.
There is complaint of green corn |
being stolen from the field around
here; but those who are losing it do
not wish to contribute so lilierally I
to another's bill-of-fare as to their j
pocket lining, but undoubtedly j
some have been doing so, "nolens, i
volens." No wonder a man will
get so mad sometimes that he feels I
as it hairs were rising up along his;
spinal column. 1 have In-en on!
that point. Have you?
John I). Xorris, colored, who!
lias an industrial school near (iihhs, '
was in Santuc some days ago in the!
interest of his school. 1 have not I
heard how he succeeded. I do not |
know how lie will succeed as a I
teacher, straight, hut there is one
thing the young negroes, and some
of the older ones too, can learn
from him hy way of an observation
lesson, if they will. I had occasion i
to meet him in ihe road recently-*'I
(1 knew him, hut he did not know |
me,) and 1 found him the most po-1
lite colored man that 1 met on that i
trip. The point that I wish to
make on this is, that if the young 1
negroes would take that less m in i
politeness, how much more coin- j
inendable it would he. i>ut so i
many are so ill mannered, they j
scarcely speak if spoken to, and often
seem seared. They do not
know how to behave, they seem not
to have one hit of culture. It is i
evident that some colored |ieople j
are not teaching their children good ;
manners. Thev mav not have it i
themselves. (JihmI manners will |
count in any one, white or colored,1
and why npt possess it?
1 took two days off?a trip the
occasion?the meeting of the Sunday
School Convention, nth Sunday
and Saturday before, at l'utnam
church. 1 had a most pleasant
time, only that the time was too |
short, and this being the fact, I
know, that I "did not eat out my
| welcome." The time was made
shorter because of the fact that I
was delayed at Union some time,
and arrived on the ground "two
hours late," similar to the Southern
passenger trains, hut then 1
"went on" to make up lost time.
To get out from the confinement of
toil, one feels like he was liberated
from a cage, and he feels like cutting
some "fool shines," like a
horse would, only that would not
| show up well, "in company." I
had a fine time. The weather,
was not extremely hot, there was a'
pleasant breeze, and we could stir
around and keep almost as cool as
a freezly hen stratching on a mild
July day. It was quite a pleasure
to see old friends, and I flatter myself
that I have quite a numlter; ,
j especially do I feel that many are
in Bogansvillc. and Bogansville has
a large number of pretty ladies, and
. they treat you so well, too. Oh! |
to hoil down; I kept an eye on the
crops. The corn was very tine,
and taking into consideration that,
I it was made by brawn and industry |
rather than I icing pampered by
cnmini rcial fertilizers, it is better j
than ours down here, and will lie
cheaper. It is tine corn. The
cotton hast a rather large weed, too
large, at the expense of fruit, so
farmers tell inc. Some of the
1 farmers arc about through work,
j hut many are far behind, and still
lieing held back by rains. It rained
there Sunday. All along the
roads some crops are well worked,
and some needing it. That is owing
to the lalmr conditions, I suppose.
Well, there will lie another
convention sometimes, and I hope!
to be able to go to it and tell you
. about that, hut now I will close,
but not till I say that people lose
'much by not attending sueh ' occasions
as this, if they are constituted
I like yours truly. IIey Uknvkk.
