We have heard that talk was
eheap?not so. Senator Tillman
received S'2"i,( H M ) of thereabouts for
it during the summer.
I'liion is a part of the State of;
South Carolina. Therefore, this:
county should lie interested in the
state fair, which is for all the state I?

interests of the eit\?therefore, let
1
us have a Chamber of Commerce. ^
The farmers are urged to sell
their cotton in hulks. Selling in ;
this manner will be profitable to J
I>oth producer and consumer; for, j'
the cost of buying large amounts is,'
less to the consumer; hence be can <
give more per pound to the pro- '
tlueer. ('
The public road is public prop-j
erty, and all arc entitled to its use.)
Some forget sometimes that others (

if we do so there will he no such i
occurrence as monopolizing the I
public road. J ^
William Randolph Hearst, nom- Jf
inee of the Democrats for governor |1
of New York, occupies today the j1
center of the stage in American *
politics. Thousands of newspapers'
are printing his name, and hun- v
dreds are either praising it, or 1
striving to defame. Anyhow, he is 11
the most discussed man in America. 11

For several years Senator Till- !
i
man has been lecturing on the race
question to lx?th Northern and
Southern audiences. But never
until this week has he offered any
solution to the vexing problem. In .
Augusta, Monday night, he a?l-1
vanned the idea that the European
passport system would diminish or|"
may lie settle the racial troubles in
I V
the South. This is an idea well >
i i i d
worth consideration. It is a step
beyond the vagrancy law. While .
we believe its enforcement would

WHY NOT UNION?
??
After a careful study of existing
conditions in neighboring cities, we I
ire convinced that a chandler ofj
xminierec is almost essential to the
Inst development or even reasonible
growth of a town or city. In
I lock Hill, the commercial club is
an active organization, operated by
the business men of the city, '
through a secretary employed for \
all of his time and with no other,
business hut that of looking after
the best interests of the city. As a j
result of activity on the part of this |
secretary, backed by the men who i
hold the business power in their
hands, many ^enterprises seeking
fields of operation have been
brought to that city. Anderson
II .. 1 P 1 - 1 A 1 .1
Iwis a iHiaru 01 iraue mat. nas none
niiu'li fur the Klectric City. And j
in Creenville, when the chamber of ]
commerce starts ?mt upon any un-1
dcrtaking or asks aught of corporations
or companies of any kind, a
result is forthcoming. To prove
this we have only to notice the
action of the Southern railway and
the commission after the chamber
of commerce took up the matter.
An investigation was at once made,
a rearrangement of schedules
begun, and the Commission
in a body rode over and
inspected the C. ? (i. branch
on Wednesday. Kven the little!
town of Camden has a commercial i
club that is a force in the city's!
life.
Now, as we have said before, we
ire no knockers. Hut we do see.
that Union is sorely in need of an
irganizcd effort to further her interests
and make it the city it once I
promised to be. Has Union ctty
Hospital? Has slie a monument to
her Confederate dead? Is the
cemetery eared for as it should be?
Are the public- works being operated
to the best advantage? Is
the city receiving just deserts from i
the railroad that enters her limits?)
And is the capital brought here, :
what it should lie for a city of her
size? These are questions that
diould interest every business man i
vho has Union's interests at heart |
>r even his own. For. it is obvi
tun r? auvaiicfnent
means the betterment of her
msiness men.
A elul> was formed here some
ime ago. We say nothing in dis>aragment
of this organization, foils
far as activity is concerned, it
s not in existence. Of course, a
'corganization would Ik; practically!
he same as a new board.
Having the interest of I'nion's
velfare deeply at heart, we urge'
he business men to organize; elect!
in active man to push the matter,
ind do for I'nion what can he J
lone, and what should lie done, j
some say that our city is in the
'dumps" now, owing to recent!
inancial troubles, and unable to'
nake any effort along the lines suggested.
If these tilings he true,;
low is the most opjiortiine time for
irganization, and an opportunity
or the greatest activity. The;
results of a board's work would be'
greater and more effective right
now than any other time. Many
have commended the suggestions of
in editorial along this line in a (
recent issue, and expreesed themselves
as willing to enter into such
in organization.
The time is opportune, and
,ve sincerely hope our citizens will
ome together and effect and organzation
that will mean something,
md accomplish great results.
TESTIMONY BY DEPOSITION.
(lovernor Ifcyward, after studyng
carefully the conditions in
kmth Carolina and elsewhere, with
pecial reference to lynchings
auscd hy the crime of rape, ad-,
ances the idea that "testimony bv
leposition" will do much to lessen
he number of lynchings. This is
11 accord with one of the ideas ex- ,
iressed by us iu a recent editorial
n lynch law. Southern white men ,
annot hear the thought of having
heir women testify before a vulgar
rowd of witnesses; and to forestall i
liis they lynch the rapist. Testi- t
n>ny hy <lej>osition should fulfil <
K- law's demands; and, without <
>111 ?t, under these <-nii< lit ions men t
ill he more iin lined to let the law J
ike it- course. I

All Dogs, big, little, old, young, mule
I or female, owned on the first day of
I January, 1900, are liable to a tax of 50c
I each for that fiscal year. If those who
have dogs have not already returned
them to the Auditor, they had better
do so when paying their other taxes;
as exactions will he isssued against all
J dogs found not paid on, and the per
sonal property of the owner, or the
party in whose charge the dog is found,
is responsible for said Dog Tax, Penalties.
Cost, etc.
Now do not wait until some one
conies to this office and reports that
you have a dog in your possession,
upon which no taxes* have been paid,
and then get mad at nie for issuing an
execution against you for said dog or
dogs as the case may be.
If you do not pay on the dog at the
! proper time, it is your fault and not
| mine, as 1 am required to carry out the
! law, and if I did notdoso, you certainly
would have a right to consider me a
j poor officer. So do not put off, as the
