l'lease -omeliody get up another
Thaw, Hartje, or foul murder case
for our carrion-loving newspapers.
They are famishing for food, and
their f?*?d is tin- dirtiest dirt.
Two shipments of empty jugs
have l?ecn made from I'nion since
the dispensary was voted out. That
does not spell so much, when we
consider the shipments 1 n?th in and
out under the dispensary regime.
The first primary is over; the
people have sjx>ken. Hut it was
merely a < tearing of the public
throat, they speak again next Tuesday.
Will it he "graft" or*4honesty?"
Senator 1111111:111, ??t spoilth ( arolina,
a iiu-mlnr of tin- naval commission,
could ii'?t make the naval
review at Oy>t< r Ray last Monday,
because lu* is not on speaking terms
witli the President. The review
wa.- made without him.
A fi'\v days ago Mayor Roddey,
of Rock Hill, refused to fine a po<?r
lxuiro caught gambling. stating as
111s reason that until the bucket
. diop license was revoked in the
city, lie would not fine any poor
negro with fifteen cents in his pocket,
while the rich gamblers were allowed
to carry on the same business
unmolested. After a hard fight in
the council the license for bucket
shop- was revoked. Congratulation-,Mayor
Koddey and Rock Hill'.
Col. John Temple Craves, editor
of the Atlanta Ceorgian, sounds the
key note to the solution of the lynching
question. In a number of
strong editorials he has pointed out
that the salvation of the negro rests
with the negro himself. And without
a doubt this is true. The
Southern white nun are doing their
part for the negro now, helping edit
-ate him, fostering his schools and
churches, furnishing employment
at a good wage for all of them, hoth
men and women, and unless the negro
tloes his part it is all to no avail.
The negro preachers, editors and
teachers must do their part. So
long as tney run at the lynchers
and do not condemn the crime that
causes it, they need expect nothing
hut lynehings. It is their duty,
and if they fai 1 to do it they just as
well exjx'et the natural consequence.
OUR ABOMINABLE R. R. SERVICE.
The lateness of all trains passing
through l'nion and the poor accomodations
etc., have ahout worn to a
frazzle the patience of the I'nion
jHiople. Our trains are considered
h.v the authorities as mere conveniences
for the longer lines in Spartanburg
and Columbia; they are
made to wait on those trains, never
regarding tin- interests of tie patrons
along this line. It is high
time the people of I'nion raised
their voices demanding their rights
and the service due them. Once
before, a protest was made to the
commission u id for a while the
trains were well on time, but soon
the old condition returned.
The business of the state railroad
commission is to see to this, but
its attention needs to he directed
thereto. Maj. Jno. II. Karle, we
want you to look into this matti r
and see that I'nion gets what is
due her.

TIMES JOB PRINT.
During the past five months of
;Thk Timks' existence under the I
present management, there lias heen
reiuarkahle and almost phenomenal
growth in every department. Hut
greatest of all has heen the building
up of the job printing business.
Very little announcement of the
new Equipments, both presses and
materials, was made, hut business
men always have their eyes open
and they have seen our work. The
consequence is that now our job
print is always crowded with work,
i Hut we are receiving every day new
goods, new ami additional maehin-,
cry, so that we may better serve the
I patrons of this department. This
j notice is no boast, hut an acknowl:
edgeinent of your confidence, and
| thanks for your patronage. Wej
are now in position to handle almost
any kind of work and it is executed
promptly and with less cost
than elsewhere. Our equipments'
and amount of work justify us in
making such small prices.
WPL6M\S \OR NEGROES.
Last week in Atlanta, at a meet-'
ing of negroes to discuss the Initterment
of this race, Deal Jackson, a
successful negro farmer of Albany,
j(?a., eommande<l attention and in-J
| terest when he spoke his views con|
cerning education for his fellows,
j In his peculiar dialect lie ridiculed
1 the college education and advocated
farm education. He said:
"They say a nigger can't work
niggers," he said, "but 1 know bet- j
iter. Come down yonder and 1 will
show you where I have over a hundred
on my plantation, and I don't
have no trouble in getting help.
I'se got lots of young niggers worki
ing for me that will soon be plowing
for dcmselves.'' Hi' continued:
You may tell me 'bout the 'ploomers"
(he evidently meant diplomas)
what you gits at Morris Brown and
Tuskt gee and all these other colleges,
hut it* you wants to see a good
i nigger you come down and see some
what got 'ploomers' from my farm." i
j Incidentally it might be mentioned
that for the last ten years Jackson '
j has regularly produced the lirst bale j
of cotton t.? l-ifl marketed in Dough- i
| erty county, and it usually brings
! him about twice the market value."
Is this negro right? Does a col- ;
i lege education unfit negroes for
their real place an<l make a failure
of them for the place they see k to
occupy? It is an open question.
BRYAN AND THE PARTY.
; Although the election of Rresij
dent is two years off, the whole
country is in a stir over the |>ossible j
nominees. The Republican party
seems yet without a leader since the:
third term for Roosevelt is consid- j
I ered impossible.
William Jennings Bryan, of Nebraska,
twice the nominee of the 1
Democrats, has again come forward i
| and seems to be the leader of his,
; party.
J Whether or not he represents the
sentiment of the party is a ques-j
tion, since his Madison Square Gar- j
den speeeh last Friday night. All
his beliefs, except one, seem to meet j
I with favor by the other prominent j
| members of the party. Govern-j
j ment ownership of the trunk lines
and state control of the smaller
lines is the wedge that has split the
1 party. Bryan advocates this docj
trine and is persistent in it, al- j
, though he declared later that he was t
| expressing his private opinions only.
Notwithstanding this division,
Bryan stands today, the greatest
figure in the ranks of Democracy.
He lends, and he leads with not
merely his great conception ofpo-:
, litieal, economic and social needs,
hut with his great personality also. !
He is a magnetic man and speaker, j
Without question he stands today
as the foremost Democrat in America.
What two years may bring!
forth is iin|>ossihle fo tell.
TOO MUCH LEGISLATION.
Judge Parker's address a few days
ago, in which lie charges too much
legislation, too many laws, is preg- i
i nant with truth. This multiplicity
of statutes almost necessitates the
non-enforcement of many; and I
permits so much wrangling, varied
interpretation and in consequence
retardation of justice. It is next
| the impossible for lawyers to keep |

thoroughly informed on all the i
numerous acts of congress and the j
legislatures.
There must be a reason for this !
excess in the product of our legislative
mills. We beg to offer two
causes; viz. that our legislators go
to Columbia, unversed in the already
existing laws, and, being desirous
of making themselves heard
and felt in the halls of the assembly,
draw up and introduce some new
law or laws. Many of these laws
overlap and often conflict: hence,
the non-enforcement and legal conflict.
And second, because the
term of each legislator is so shortlived.
The ever varying mind of
the people calls a man back home
and sends ai. >thcr in his place.
This never" ceasing change in the J
personnelle of the legislature inca-|
pacitates or at least hinders it in
the wise and useful passage of laws
that are necessary, and the killing,
of conflicting and unnecessary bills, i

a training for real service. The
reason the Charleston delegation has
so much influence and power in the
house, is that they are allowed long '
terms of olliee; and yet the power to
recall these ollicers is a great blessing
and safeguard. It is the abuse
of this power that causa the trouble.
THE PENALTY OP REMORSE.
A young man lies in the county
jail in this city charged with murder.
Two days ago he was a free
man, at liberty to come and go as
he pleased, to mingle with his
friends and enjoy tin- happiness of
his home made bright by the society
of bis young wife, lie was one
of the firemen of this city and
doubtless tell the responsibility
placed on him to care for the property
of the citizens and with his fellows
to conquer the fire fiend, lbhad,
so far as appears, little to worry
over, nothing to cause sorrow.
Now lie is the most unhappy
creature in the county. He has
taken the life of a fellow man ami
that man his sister's husband. The!
uncertainty of tin- law's penalty and j
the ordeal of a public trial and the
months of dread and contemplation j
to precede- it would ho a burden al- j
most too great p, j)C |>orne; hut
I thoro t* yet a greater penalty, a
more severe and lasting punishment!
which has nlnady begun.
Remorse has laid its relentless
hand on this young man and with
his <lying breath, should he live to
be a hundred years old, he will feel
its pitiless lashings. Regret is the
saddest thought in human experi-j
ence, the most hopeless and gnawing
and cruel because it cannot be
remedied and won't l>e forgotten.
Oh, if I could but recall that deed!
are words that will burn themselves
into this young man's thoughts with
hourly and lifelong iteration.
Probably he did not intend to
kill his victim. lie says he aimed
at his legs, lint lie hit him in the j
abdomen and'kilied him. It is for)
the courts and the jury to deter-1
mine the nature of the crime, if any, j
and its punishment, and we have
no wish to interfere either for or
against him. The punishment already
referred to outside of that inflicted
by the law is terrible enough
and it is that which makes this a
sad case.
The lesson taught by this unfortunate
tragedy is the dangers that
lie in a quick temper and a deadly
weapon. They cause acts that cannot
be recalled and establish regrets
that are as poignant as the knife
and as enduring as life. A hasty
deed brings deliberate repentance.

face of the terrible consequences
brought to this man by a rash act,
due to the unlawful jsisscssion and
use of a pistol, will still go about
armed with deadly weapons ready
to resent instantly and with consequences
that can never he escapexl
or forgotten real or fancied injuries
that will ever afterwards appear insignificant
in comparison with the
suffering brought al>out by a homicide!?Spartanburg
Journal.
Alone with his thoughts! and J
those thoughts spring from the
mind haunted by the spirit of bis
victim. Day in and day out, and
all through the night, the departed !
spirit of the murdered man hovers
around and in tones clear and un-1
mistakuble accuses the wretched
man. His dreams are freighted
with terror: his thoughts haunt hiiu. |
Murder reaps a terrible punishment.
The penalty of the law is
not all?the accusations of one's
own mind are the worst to he reckoned
with. Memory is 0110 of man's
greatest faculties. It is awful. It
constitutes a great part of that
which will make for him heaven or
hell.

We, the (irand Jurors of Union' JO

report: We have carefully exam-j T"
ined and passed upon all hills <*
handed us hy the Solicitor, and .? a
have made presentment on each ac- Jj L
cording as we thought the evidence J 1
warranted. W
We have hy committee visited T L
the Treasurer's office and find his1 I
lx)oks neatly and well kept and we1 B
are satisfied they are correct. We,
visited the Auditor's ofliee and
found his Isioks neat and in good j
condidition. ' T?
We visited the County Supervis-; -Sii
or's ofliee and we gave it a thorough ?g
examination. We find his books in _Sj a
good shape, and in such order that; ^
any one could understand the same, gj
We find that the new macadam "S1
road has cost the county exclusive ? ?
of the machinery, five thousand, ?S| p .
three hundred and forty nine dol- l|0t V(]
lars ($5,849.00.) This hcing at *
the 'ate of three thousand dollars VAJJf*
per mile. Owing to the fact that "if? J "UI
tiiere was some heavy grading, and
one of the worst roads in the covin- j?| OilOv*
ly, ana taking into consideration i 3|
the excessive heavy rains during C
the year, we consider this amount 1
very cheap. tf
We had some complaint made to "gi vflll td
us that there \ycre certain irregular- .? |
ities existing in this ollice. We * L
made a thorough examination of JP THF^F
the vouchers and find the Supervis- ^ ? IllnJii
or absolutely correct and the report T 1 =====
false. We hy committee visited "T" a j
the Sheriff's, Probate Judge's, .fig Q|
Clerk's and School Coniniission of- *L
(ices and we commend them all for T flip fip<
their neat and well kept l>ooks in j;!1 IIIC UC?
their offices. We visited the jail, T* j
chain gany and county parish. All > to see
these institutions are in the hands 9 =
of comix: tent men and are well kept ?L
and managed. 1
I nere wore given the names of
