heavy Docket.
The court of general sessions
convened in Union on Tuesday,
September 4th, Monday being
labor day and legally a holiday.
Judge C. G. Dantzler of Orangej

Solicitor Sease and Stenographer
Mott are in their accustomed
places. The docket is heavy at
this term, but the officers are
dealing with dispatch in all the
cases. Judge Dantzler, in his
charges to ?the jury, is not as
lengthy as some of other judges,
but that destroys none of his
force and conciseness. His
definitions of different counts^and
charges are clear cut and unmistakable.

and Douglass English went to
the grand jury, but no action
was taker., neither ''true bill"
nor "no bill" being found. For,
%Solicitor Sease when he found
^sufficient evidence, withdrew
4 Ne indictments suspending ac>n,

on his part. These two

DEATH Of MR. JNO. GAULDIN.
Aged Citizen of Goshen Hill Community
Passes Away.
At 3 o'clock Thursday morning,
Mr. Jno. Gauldin, aged 74,
, ^
or tne uoshen Hill community,
died. He had been in declining
1 health for some time, and was
much worse Tuesday, so the end
! was not unexpected. The funeral
services were conducted in
Union at the city cemetery by
Rev. L. M. Rice, on Thursday
afternoon at 3 o'clock; the body
having been brought here for interment.
Mr. Gauldin was a member of
Padgett's Creek Baptist churcn
and had been for some years
j He was born and raised in Chesj
ter county married in 1859; Miss
Mary McFadden of that county,
I and moved to Union in about
11874. He had been a citizen of
lower Union from that time on,
and a worthy citizen withal.
His neighbor's good was his
good, and his friends'trouble was
his aiso. He was honored and
loved by those who knew him
best.
Mrs. Gnuldin and four daughters
survive him. They are:
Mrs. W. A. Beaty, until recently
Mrs. States Crawford, Mrs. Anderson
and Mrs. Todd, of Wood
| ruff, and Mrs. Hawkins, of
Laurens.
The South's Marvellous Advantages.
(Manufacturers' Record, Balti|
more, August 30, 1906.)
Give free rein to your imagination
and let it picture the
future of a section which has
one-half of the iron ore of the
. United States, nearly three
times as much coal as Great
, Britain, Germany, and Pennsylvania
combined, which holds a
world monoply on cotton production
and is rapidly becoming
a great cotton manufacturing
center, which dominates the
phosphate rock and sulphur
trade of the world, which has
much of the richest oil territory
known, which has one-half of
i the standing timber of the
country, which produces all the
sugar, all the rice, most of the
tobacco, and adds to these 800,j0(H),o00
bushels a year of grain;
1 end then think of its water-powers,
its splendid rivers, its great
seacoast, its expanding com!
merce, and remember that
its cotton crop alone annually
exceeds the total gold and silver
production of the world, and
that every dollar of gold annually
mined on earth is not enough
to pay the South's bill against
Europe for cotton, and you will
get just a faint conception of the
future.
Mr. Manning Hopeful.
In a conversation Tuesday
| with a Times reporter, Mr.
Manning, while he realizes the
opposition he must meet, expressed
hope and even confidence
in his election. He
j will receive a large part of the
Blease vote, although Cole L.
Blease himself is unfavorable to
Mr. Manning and even openly
opposes him. Further he thinks
he will receive the bulk of the
j Sloan vote. He says he is much
stronger now in the Piedmont
than in the first Primary,
i Mr. Manning has been visiting
; many parts of the state since the
1 28th and will continue to do sc
i until the next primary. He was
, in Spartanburg Monday and
'expects to be in Union some
I time this week.
THE RETURN OF WILLIAM Jt BRYAN.
I
Greatest Ovation Ever Given to Any
Man Accorded to Him In New
York?Met by Delegation?
His Address in Madison
Square Garden.
William Jennings Bryan, twice
the nominee of the Democratic
party of America, after a tour
around the world, landed in New
York August 30, amid the cheers
and shouts of that city's millions
and delegates from every state
in the Union, save Oregon and
South Carolina. It was a triJ
umphal entry, ovation upon
I ovation being accorded the great
j commoner. He was called on
J for a short speech when he
1 reached his hotel, the Victoria,
and to this he responded briefly,
but with his usual readv wit. and
native ability.
Among the delegation to receive
the returning hero of a
world's tour, were: Acting
Mayor McGowan, Senator Bailey
of Texas, Chairman Thomas
Taggart of the Democratic
national committee, and Jno.
Temple Graves, editor of the
Georgian; also a large delegation
from Bryan's native state, Nebraska.
But the greatest event of his
--''tay in New York was hid
speech :n Madison Square Garden
Fiiday night. Below is
given a general regume as made
by the Greenville Herald:
the vital issues.
At Madison Square Garden in
| New York last night William
(Jennings Bryan sonnded the
battle cry of the Democratic
party in the next campaign.
A summary of the vital issues
touched upon may l?e stated in
this wise:
Income Tax?The United
States must sooner or later adopt i
income tax. Burden s of gov-j
ernment should be divided pro-1
portionately among the country's
people.
Injunction?Government by
! injunction is an attack upon the
jury system and should be opposed.
The injunction should be
supplanted by arbitration.
Congress?The National leg-!
' islative body should meet immediately
after elections?not 331
months later as at present.
United States senators should be
chosen by popular vote.
Labor?The workingman's
life, liberty and pursuit of hap-1
j piness should be preserved. It
i is unjust to give employers absoi
lute control over employees.
! Differences should be settled by
arbitration.
Arbitration ?Mr.Bryan urges
that the United States in common
with all other nations,
should, before declaring war,
submit all international differences
to impartial arbitration.
Money?Mr. Bryan declares
that the unlooked for and unprecedented
increase in the production
of gold has enabled the
Democratic party to present a
1 united front on the money
question.
Tariff?Protective tariff has
been a fruitful source of political
corruption. Free trade, optional
in its details with the president,
could be made the most effective
weapon with which to fight the
trusts.
anti-Imperialism?Mr. Bryan
declares the United States' experiment
in colonialism has
exposed to ridicule the Declaration
of Independence. He urges
home rule for the Fillipinos.
Trusts?Merciless war on
trusts is recommended to the
Democrats. Corruption in insurance
companies and other
corporations is dwelt upon. The
democrats should refuse campaign
contributions from corpo|
ration.
Federal License?That plank
in the Democratic platform of
1900 requiring corporations engaging
in interstate commerce to
secure federal license, should
i become part of the nation's
laws.
Railroads?Railroads should
be made the property of the
government. The federal govt
ernment should control the
? trunk lines and the various
i states local lines. Securing iml
mediate uniformity of rates is
? favored as temporary remedy.
Eight-Hour Day?In the in%
CHILD BITTEN BY DOG.
Little Herman Smith, Aged Eight
Years, Attacked by Dog Supposed
to be Mad.
Mr. J. D. Smith, who lives
pbout 4 miles north of Union,
came to town Wednesday with
his little boy Herman, who had
been bit that morning by a dog
i supposed to be mad. Of course
at that time no symptoms of
hydrophobia had developed, but
j he wished to take all caution to
[prevent it. Mr. Smith related
[the following storv:
I, "I was in the yard and noticed
' tjlis strange dog pass through,
1 Wit paid no particular attention
| to him as nothing appeared
wrong with him. It was a
strange dog, but I just supposed
he belonged to a neighbor. AI
little later my son Herman, aged
j eight years old, went out to the ,
buggy shed for something. He
saw the dog, lying down in the
back end of the shed, down be|
tween the buggy shafts. Herman
yelled to the dog, trying to
scare him out; thereupon the
animal jumped up, ran toward
him and bit him fiercely on the
upper shin, the worst wound being
on the outside of the left leg."
Mr. Smith consulted several
i physicians, and left TKuraday
for the Pasteur Institute
of Atlanta, to have his son I
treated.
Beaty-Grawford.
On Tuesday evening, Sept.
4th, Mrs. Sue F. Crawford and
Mr. W. A. Beaty were united in
marriage. The ceremony was
performed at the home of the
the oflciating minister, Rev. L.
M. See. The marriage was

She is a lady of most excellent
character and her kindness of

known and highly respected in
Union county. May great happiness
be the portion of this
newly wedded couple. The
Times extends congratulations.
A Marriage.
Miss Alsie Eaves and Mr. *
Henry Gault, better known as
"Bud," were married Sunday
evening at Kelton. The ceremony
was peformed by Magistrate
Josh Spears at his home.
Best wishes to the newly
married couple!
============================
terest of humanity, the development
of the home life and love
of family and the progress of the
human race, the eight-hour
i working day should be universally
adopted,
Socialism?Socialism presents
a consistent theory, but does not1
take human nature into account. 1
It would substitute a new disease
for the disease from which
which we suffer. Socialism
must be answered with argu'
ment not abuse.
Next Issues?The paramount
issue in next presidential campaign
will concern trusts and
their control. The Democratic
motto must be, "A private
monoply is indefensible and intolerable."
Provisions must be
mftrlp . fr? imnri?rm nnt mprplv
fine, law breaking capitalists.
Some salient shots in the Commoner's
address were:
' Trusts are a legalized form
of larceny.
"Reason rising higher than
force is one of the tests of civilizations
progress.
"I do not believe in sacrificing
| ninety-nine enterprises that one
may live.
"Trusts are a political development,
not an economic one.
"Plutocracy is more despotic
than monarchy, more heartless;
than aristocracy, more selfish j
than bureaucracy. It preys
upon the nation in time of peace
and conspires against it in the
hours of its calamity.
"How can wo draw a moral
distinction between the man who
sells his vote for $5.00 on election
day and the manufacturer
who sells his political influence
for $50,000 or $100,000 payable
in dividends."

> I UV L7III Ul IW Ulll.
The indictments against W. R.
Gilliam and Douglass English
for the murder of Mose Hughes
went before the grand jury
Tuesday. For lack of evidence
no action was taken, Solicitor
Sease withdrawing the indictments
for further consideration.
Meanwhile the two accused
are under the same bonds.
William J. Bryan.
The way the country has come
to admire and applaud William
J. Bryan, erstwhile democratic
candidate for the presidency, is a
fine illustration of the fickleness
of popular opinion. He came
home from an around-the-world
trip the other day, and received
in New York an ovation almost
unparalled in American history.
The ovation proceeds yet in Chicago,
Kansas City, St. Louis and
elsewhere, and for the while
"Bryan" is printed in the newstimes
where
the White House is once./
And yet, six years ago Bryan
was in practically all quarters
dubbed Uloud-mouthed, impracticable,
visionary, socialistic, and
many other things besides, calculated
to shake his standing
ing in the popular favor. So
persistently did this campaign of
depreciation pursue him, that
many of his best friends, made
timid by his defeat at the polls,
turned upon him. We have in
mind newspapers which did and
for no better reason than the
spirit of detraction which permeated
every nook and cranny
which could be reached by the
powerful arm of the press which
served plutocracy.
The years have passed and the
country has caught up with Mr.
Bryan. He has not changed but
the country has. The popular
Roosevelt has taken Bryan's
ideals and thereby added to his
popularity. Bryan is now considered
conservative. He will
probably be the next democratic
candidate for the presidency.
We hope he may and that he
may win. The 16 to 1 question
is relegated to the garret, but
Bryan stands for the man as bigger
than the dollar, the welfare
of the people of America as bigger
than that of the "commercial
and business interest," which
terminology may the trusts in

by the commission to be too high
and nothing was done. However
the matter is still under
consideration, and these same
bids will receive further attention,
along with others that may
be offered. The commission is
decided on improving and enlarging
the plant, but they will
do it with deliberation.

Senator Tillman Declines.
i
Some time ago President
; Roosevelt invited Senator B. R
: Tillman to be one of the party to
view the naval parade at Oyster
Bay on Monday, Sept. 3rd. The
party, which was composed of
the naval commission was to
I make the review from on board
the president's yacht, the Mayflower.
As was expected Tillman declined
the invitation, for the
President has never apologized
for withdrawing Tillman's invitation
to the White House some
years ago on the occasion of
Prince Henry's visit. And this
condition for ever again speaking
to Roosevelt was laid down
by Tillman. He stuck to his
word.
Steamship Line Between Charleston
and Bremen, Germany
As a result of the efforts of
Commissioner E. J. Watson, of

steamship line will be
establisned between Bremen,

The permanence or non-permaof
the line depends upon the
initial trip to be taken before
