^ UNION, S. C., SEPT. 21, 1906.
"To smile in victory is easy; in
defeat, lieroie"?Tillman is a hero.
The parody, "Tillman had a Tattle
Lamb," reprinted in Tiik Timks
caused much comment. The author
of it is editor of the Barnwell
Sentinel.
The majority of voters in South '
Carolina endorsed Senator B. R. j
Tillman in his senatorial course,;
hut repudiated his interference in
state politics.
INow that the matter is being agi- j
tated, let us do something for j

According to tho count <>f the
News and Courier the State Senate !
now has twenty dispensory mem-1
hers and twenty local optionists. '
The death ??f Senator \V. 10. Johnson,
of Aiken, rendered the stand-;
ing such. In all prohahility Aiken 1
will elect a local option member to
lill the vacancy since the results in '
Aiken last week were clearly indie- j

Welcome to hoth teachers and j
pupils. We hail your coming as a
great event; and indeed it is.
Yours is work on a structure that p
will stand the test of time and i(*
eternity. While others toil for the I a
possession of wealth or honor, hoth a
of which fade in a moment, you are v
building on an edifice that will,'(
stand when all else is gone. The ^
pupil builds, the teacher directs the j s

..nmissioner Jno. H. Earle j
says the legislature will not give the il
commission proper and sufficient' r
authority. If our representatives j
want t?? do something for Union a
county let them take up this rail- '
ro; d matter. The "licker" ques- ''
tion is not so important to us just v
now, and we expect service in oth- a;
er lines. In another column is |Cl
printed Mr. Earle's letter. It is a * '
ch ar, sensible statement of the situ- J'
ation and commands the attention ?
of our people and especially our 11
representatives in the General As- s'

A sound or combination of tr
sounds, almost forgotten in Union
was heard Monday morning, over U
in the direction of Central School. ai
It was the prolonged shouting of ki
the children, returning to their li<
school work. For three months ar
the schools have hcen closed and w<
they presented the aspect of sep- T1
ulchres. Now they are all life and w<
action. Teachers are rested and so
the children are tired of play; so
they made the air reverberate withjloi
their shonts of joy, as they hegan I us
again their tasks. Fntluisiasm! j wi
That is what moves the world, be
\\*e hope it will not lessen, hut bear He;
them through a year of faithful,
honest work.
CUBA IIBRt.
WO
Will the Cuban government stand? tla
or will it become the prey of angry tie
m- ",|wiw u.tr
insurgents? Cuba today stands j
among the free nations of earth, i
having fought a long and Moody
way to freedom. For scores of
years she groaned under the yoke
and rod of Spain; the American
government helped her toward
dotn, gave her a start in national
life. And now must all this count
for naught, because of unruly subjects?
We think not. President
Roosevelt would he commended for
an intervt ntion. We do not need
Cuba as a colony ? hut assistance
from this government in settling the
dispute would ho an invaluable service
to the young republic.

Wlmt do you call it anyhow?
The way Mrs. Nicholas Longworth
was mobbed last Friday in t'oluinl)iis,
Ohio. The occasion was the
unveiling of the McKinley inonumcnt,
and Mrs. I/ongworth pulled
the ribbons that let the veil fall.
Immediately the crowd, which by
the way, was composed largely of
women, made a rush toward her,
snatching at the ribbons, and then
tearing the ribbons from her dress
or scrambling to merely touch her.
All efforts to calm the crowd or to
withstand its rush were futile, and
at last she was forced to retreat to
the state house, and there, even
behind barred doors, she was
hardly safe.
11*1 .1 1
o uju noes 11 an moan anyhow?
It is well rememliered that at the
St. I/mis exposition, Mrs. Ismgworth
passed through a similar,
though not so .severe, an experience.
The only explanation we can give is
that it is an outbreak of crazy
curiosity on the part of the most
foolish of people. Because she is
the president's daughter, because
her likeness has been printed in
almost every newspaper and because
she lias been a guest in the
court of kings, these people look
upon her as a being wholly different
from themselves. They want
a souvenir, never thinking that
those riblions, combs and other
articles of dress are but like their
own, purchased from the same lots
and from the same stores.
THE TELEPHONE GIRL.
Without doubt this much-tired
ublic-server is the object of a vast
eal of unwarranted and undeserved
buse. Men will walk into a store
nd if the clerks are all busy, he
irill quietly wait until one is at
insure and then give his order. At
he ticket station he never tries to
hove everyone else out of his way,
>ut decently nu*?Jta /lis turn. At
,1 i'i he never demands the itnlediate
service of the usher.
But let him call for "central"
nd if he does not get immediate
eply, his patience takes wings, and
ie is ready to call into play all the
ccumulated oaths of a lift; time. |
ndoed, he generally makes use of all
dares; at least he makes hin\selfl
ery unpleasant and as troublesome j
s possible. All of which is not;
aleulated to sweeten the temper of j I
lie hello girls. If a man would 1
ist stop and think a moment, reas- |
ning that these girls are snnn.tim..u i
. _ - - - O |
uslicd far more than clerks in ail
tore or ticket agents, they would i '
L-t with more common sense and |*
ason, cause the operators less ^
ouble and worry and in the end ]
cure for themselves better service, t
or it is a certainty that these girls a
e not going to do their l>est for a j j
locker. The calls in central of-'s
^e are sometimes a dozen at once, t
id to answer jUI in a moment |v
!>uld Ihj an utter impossibility, j("
tiey have their busy moments as! ^
11 as all others and they are not s
per-human. J 1
Then let us see that we do not "
Be patience with these girls; let a
be more considerate. And they (j
11 be thankful we are sure, and j
tter able to render more ellicient a
rviee.
