No less threat arc the mineral products. From the mines of this country were dug $i/>23.ooo.ooo worth of the various minerals. A most excellent New Year resolution suitable for adoption by all classes is. that you will keep your tales of woe to yourself and not burden others with your ailments. There is enough trouble without the continual croaking and complaining of dissatisfied, discontented, imaginarily-persccuted individuals. Don't grumble, for you get no sympathy. Hut if you have a spirit of joy and happiness spout that all you please. and everybody will listen and join in the j< ?l"lity. * * * A larpe number of our subscribers came in and paid us up a year's renewal last week. They are helpin tr us. by this thouphtfulness. to make a pood paper. Many more could pay us at an early date, and we trust they too will do so. W hen you come into I'niott call in and pay us a year's renewal in advance. We wish to express our pratitude at the fact that quite a number of new names came in to us voluntarily last week, and they will po on our list for the New Year. We very much appreciate this mark of pood standinp in the minds of the pood people of I "nion county. We are poinp to try to do our best to keep your pood will * * It is not our intention to set ourselves up as critics of public affairs. much less to offer unjust and unfair criticism of the conduct of public affairs. But it does seem that the management of the constabulary errs greatly in the constant transfer of its officers. No sooner is a man sent to a place and gets acquainted with the affairs of that place, than he is transferred to another. Such has A ' /A $ been the case in Union. Con-' I ^ stable after constable has been 1 sent ami then removed. Mr. W iggins has been here for some time, j but his co-workers have changed { with the moon, ft takes a man ~ I si>me time to get on to the ropes ^ and it seems folly to remove him just as he acquires knowledge for (effective operation. * * * Emancipation day celebrations 81 are sometimes and at some places -Imost obnoxious and detrimental to a the good of the freed race. But,, i such observation of the day and " such manner of celebration asj i i characterized January first in Un- ^ ? j ion might well he taken as an exsample for others to follow. Instead of gaudy processions, with ; the glare of colors and the blare 'of trumpets, there was an educa[J tional rally, dedicating a new r school building for the improvement of their race. And at this rally the main feature was an adj dress by a learned white man. This t' fact contains in essence the soltt- < tion. or at least the amelioration j of the perplexing race problem. It n lis this: the negro helping himself, i but meanwhile accepting the ad-. i j vice and guidance of the superior, r race. i I 1 The Williamson Plan. , r The Stat*. lias published frequently the t 't ntula tor tile "Williamson plan' or the way devised j he Mr. I'..

"I W01LD HAD A MOB." Senator B. R. Tillman is reported in the papers as havfng said in a recent speech in Birmingham: "With the oath upon my lips to uphold the law. I would lead a moh anv tim<=> , to lynch a man, black or white, who had ravished a; woman.'' % We are very sorry Senator "^jllman said it. yJt iK' a preachment worthy of an anarchist. ' 'If your passions are ; tirred up enough let the law go to th%dogs." if a dngjyia yehich will win the applause only oi the thoifcrhtless, thit prejudiced and the ignorant. If a United States senator may lead the mob, to trample on the laws of our country, which are ordained of Almighty God, and gloat in an orgv of crime with senseless license that it may, forsooth, show how it hates crime, then, merciful God, pity us. and God pity our children who must reap the consequences of the 'follies of their fathers. Unqualifiedly, earnestly we condemn this alleged utterance of Senator Tillman. If we did n<?t we would he unworthy to make a paper t? ?r the homes of decent people. y m ,?
