HELP THE HOSPITAL.
Strong efforts are being put forth
to erect a building for the hospital
here, and a campaign for subscriptions
to the building fund will be
made at once. The whole county will
L? 1 1 * '
uc cttiivasseu uy me committees in
charge of this campaign and the work
will be pressed to a finish in a short
time. Such an institution appeals to
all those who are interested in worthy
charities. The need is great and the
aim is commendable.
The committees appointed to carry
on the campaign to raise funds are
called to meet in the rooms of the
Chamber of Commerce on Saturday
morning at 11 o'clock for the purpose i
of making final arrangements as to 1
plans for carrying on the work. 1
The need for good roads increases
day by day. People now will move to <
and fro in the earth as never before. 1
Time is one of the great essentials in
these days, and time is the one thing i
that is gained by having good roads.
It is not a matter of comfort alone,
although that is of jrreat importance,
A Rood road, no matter how one is
journeying, by foot, vehicle, automo- 1
bile or any othei: way save by avia- <
tion, is of prime importance both as i
to comfort and speed. All over the
world the people of civilized nations
are turning their attention to the <
building of trood roads.
We have sand and clay rifrht here in 1
Union county ,and it has been demonstrated
that there are no better materials
out of which roads can be built
uiuuuiiiiiiciiiy. we are just Depinninjif
to make a move in the direction of |
putting these good elements together 1
properly. Let the (rood work go on ]
in our county. ]
(
THINGS ARE HAPPENING.
c
The State campaign waxes warmer 1
and yet warmer, if one may judge by t
the newspaper accounts. The investi- J
(ration as to (rraft reveals a condition
that is serious, to say the least. There t
are many people, honest, sincere men, (
who are wondering where all this up- \
heaval will end. Most likely in blood- s
shed. The low plane upon which the e
state campaign is being cofiducted is t
an index to the depths to which we
have fallen. The revelations of the 1
investigating committee do but show r
the same unfortunate condition. i
We withhold our judgment as to the ?
charges of grafting made against S
Governor Blease. We have published I
the aeeounts of the work of the com- c
mittee of investigation and every s
reader may judge for himself. We '
await further developments for we do e
not feel that the charge is proven, i
The business looks suspicious, but the s
case is not yet made out. We prefer
waiting for developments. The
dictagraph, already famous, may loom
yet larger as matters Droceed. We
trust the investigating committee will
do their full duty, no matter how s
much they may be criticized and a
threatened. Thev are men of cood t
standing. When they are through, and
give out the results of their findings, s
we feel sure that the honest people of ?this
state will be satisfied. We trust
they will go to the bottom of the .
Blaaae-Felder-Burns-Grace matter. No f
half way measure will do. v
We do not blame detective Reed,
the Burns man, for refusing to go to
Columbia to testify. When the Governor
of the state is the one under
changes and has himself clearly shown *
that he will stand by his friends, no
matter what they do, it is not a far a
mpporwr of tfre Governor*would, under
the influence of whiskey and passion,
kill the detective. It is a reasonable
supposition, that.

STATEftySN^ THE'
WALLACE TVf&mrifi HOSPITAL

The orfctnfpfcion'~& Hie Union hospital
AssooHUjon is as follows:
It consists of'a board of managers
composed of seventeen members,- who
are tXpU A! H. Foster, C*pt. F. M.
Farr, Capt. G. C. Perrin, Mr, W. E.
Thomson, Mr. Allan Nicholson, Mr. R.
L. Mc Nally, Mr. L. M. Rice, Mr. W.

Hamilton, J. G. Going, D. H. Montgomery,.
S. G. Sarratt, Theodore Maddox,
O. L. P. Jackson, T. P. Kennedy
and R. R. Berry. The death or removal
of any manager renders his office
vacant. With this board of managers
an executive committee consisting
of five members, to be elected
annually, will have entire control of
the property and management of the
hospital.
Last year a committee to name the
hospital was elected by the board of
managers and this committee asked
the public to submit names and Offered
a prize for the name chosen.
From a large number of names suggested
that of The Wallace Thomson
Hospital was selected. The board
heartily endorse dtheir actio nbn account
of Dr. Thomson's devotion to
his parents, his untarnished record
as guardian of the sacred trust and
confidence reposed by the state in a
practitioner of medicine, and of his
noble service as a surgeon in the
Confederate army. - ...It.
is hoped that the abdvfe name will

to greater effort towards more
efficient service and to a higher plane
for daily work.
The object of the managers in urging
the erection of a hospital for
Union county is the great need for
such an institution. The cry for a hospital
is heard from almost every one.
Men and women of Union county,
will this great need go unsupplied?

ANNUAL MEETING S. C.
STATE FARMERS' UNION.
The program for the annual meeting
of the State Union is now in the
hands of the printer. The meeting will
begin at 3:00 p. m., Wednesday, July
24th and continue through the 25th.
i ne reports 01 me various standing
committees at the opening session will
be interesting. The night session of
the 24th will be an educational one
and will be open to the public.
Except for some routine business,
the entire day Thursday will be devoted
to a study of "marketing." At the
morning session we expect to have
Editor Hunnicutt of the "Southern
Cultivator" discuss "Marketing, especially
as applied to farm produce."
At noon there will be an address
by Hon. Charles S. Barrett, president
of the National Union.
At 3:00 p .m., Hon. J. L. McLaurin
will discuss "Cotton Warehousing,
Marketing and Banking" from the
standpoint of the State Warehouse
system.
At 5:00 p. m., Hon. T. W .Carter,
president of the Mississippi Farmers'
Union, also president of the proposed
National Warehouse Company, will
iresent their plan of marketing the
:otton crop.
At 8:30 p. m., another plan of cooperative
financing and marketing will
>e presented by a representative of
he S. S. Trust Company which is
iroposed to be organized.
Among these three plans, and others
hat rm\y be advanced, we confidently
:xpect to be able to select one that
vill be effective. It is possible that
iome two of these plans may be workid
out together more satisfactorily
han any one by itself.
With all the preliminary work that
las been done by the officers and comnittees
of the State and County Un
ons, this bids fair to he the most prorressive
meeting ever held by the
State Farmers Union of South Caroina.
In behalf of the officers and
ommittees, and the great practical
ind increasingly important cause of
'Marketing," we do cordially invite
very County Union to be represented
ind all members in good standing to
ittend.

more than he deserves.
"When Blease came to Atlanta ffr
that commercial oongress," continued
Mr. Felder, "I had him shadowed every
moment .of his stay. And. my detectives
saw the felony he committed.
That can be proved and if I live i'm
going to prove it, and if I don't live
there still will be witnesses who will
be able to convict him of that crime;"
JReed Not Through Yet.. ;
As Felder talked Detective (teed, the
Burns sleuth of the dictagraph, capte
into the interview. Reed looks for all
the world the double of the late Paul
Morton, secretary of the navy under
Roosevelt .railroad magnate, and insurance
chief. Reed opened the dictagraph
which had received the conversation
binding the alleged pardon
sale in Washington. . x ' ,
"That's the same little machine that
trapped the McNamaras in the dynamite
plot," he said. "It's the same
one I used to convict the grafting
councilmen at Atlantic City and the
legislators at Columbus. It's been a
a pretty loyal machine to the Burns
detective agency and it may do somje
more work to undo Blease. . I'm not
' ?
through with the case yet." . |
Blease Makes Short Statement. ;
Cole L. Blease today said that, ih
the near future he would answer this
and other charges made against him
by Felder in written statements. '
But the governor did dictate a brier
statement today in which he characterized
Felder as a "cowardly character
thief and debauchee," and called
William J. Burns, the detective employed
by Mr. Felder, a cheap hire^
lig unworthy of belief."
Blease denied that Nichols ha{l
sought the pardon for Gus Deford, as
indicated in distagraph testimony presented
the dispensary investigating
committee at Augusta late Saturday
afternoon by Detective E. S. Reed,
of the Burns agency.
The governor's dictated statement
follows: ,
"The entire transactions as brought
out in Augusta have been done at thifc
time in the campaign for the purpoat
of injuring me, thinking, as we had
passed over half of the state, that it
would be impossible for me to reach
the people again. That whole thing
is a tussie of misrepresentations and
wilful lies, which I will show the people
of the state at the proper time
with the proofs. I have received numr
bers of telegrams, letters and telev
phone messages from my friends
throughout the state and from partiei
who have heretofore never been
friends, in which they denounce thi
committee for the action it has takei|
I ouu oaouiui(^ flic U1 U1CI1 uiiuiviufi^
support. I am satisfied they hav*
done me no injury, but have material^
ly strengthened me with my,friend?
and all other South Carolinians, who
love their state and who will resent
the manner in which this cowardly
character thief and debauchee has attempted
to injure the chief magistrate
of this state with the assistance of
this committee.
Referring to W. J. Burns, the detective,
the governor said:
"In my opinion Burns proved himself
unworthy of belief and a cheap
hireling, as he has in other of his
transactions."
The governor said he did not care
to make any mention of the incident
of yesterday when he ordered J. N.
King and O. W. Watson out of his
resirence. He quoted one of these men
as using in his home words 6f very,
"ungentlemanly character."
Attorney Nichols, who g was connected
with the alleged pardon bribery
schceme as related by Detective Reed,
left yesterday afternoon for his home
in Spartanburg. Governor Blease
said today: v
"Nichols never mentioned anything
to me about a pardon for Gus Deford,
and no such pardon has been issued."
Nichols and other friends of Governor
Blease were in conference at the
executive mansion several hours yesterday.
The Vanishing Months.
Six months have slipped away.
How time does fly!
Vamoosed have June and May
And here's July.
Six months behind us lie
The year half gone,
And here it is July
With little done.
We do not mean to shirk,
But time goes by.
Now it's too hot to work
For here's July.

Jonesville News Letter.
Jonesville, July 16.?Saying that
history repeats itself is very true for
we see it in this political year. The
years preceeding 1876 and again the
years in the early nineties are being
repeated this year in the political
arena, and it is to the shame and
disgrace of this great country of ours.
One can hear but little now any where
he may go but politics. It's Wilson
and Taft, and Blease and Jones, from
morning till night and Sunday is a
big day to talk politics.
Mr. C. A. Hodgse, financial agent
of Columbia College, made an address
at the Methodist church here yesterday
in the interest of his college.
The Interdenominational Sunday
Schro! convention for Jonesville township
will be held at the Baptist
church here next Sunday.
Dr. W. 0.| Southard is our champion
Irish potato raiser, he made 80 bushels
this year
Dr. F. M. Ellerbe attended .the meeting
of the State Pharmacists in'
Charleston last week.
Capt. R. W. Scott attended the meeting
of the South Carolina Postmasters
at the Isle of Palms last week
Mr. P. P. Williams, who left here
last January for Arizona for his
health, didn't find much relief in that
country and he went to Texas where
he has a brother and remained there
for a while ,and then he went to Capeton.
New Mexico. He was a week on
t- ' road and he has found a place
6,0^ feet above the sea level and he
expects, or hopes at least, to be benefitted
by the dry pure atmosphere of
that country.
Mr. J. C. Littlejohn of Clemson,
spent last week with his parents in
Jonesville.
Mrs. George Wood spent last week
with relatives at Carlisle.
According to the coming of the catydid
s we will have frost about the first
of October.
Farmers have been getting in some
good work, but there is plenty of
grass in the country yet and laying
by time will certainly be later this
year than usual on that account.
Important Notice.
