O Let's begin each day with a clean sheet. Let's wipe the state clear of all malice, bitterness and hate and face each day with a heart of kind ness. "But I say unto you, Love your enemies." The Great Teacher opens a world here that is most appealing in its attractiveness. O The man who honestly strives to do his duty cannot help making enemies. When he stands for the higher and better things of life he clashes with the purposes and plans of the crook and the knave. The crook and the knave do not fancy having their plans opposed. Enemies indicate to a man that his life is not going to | waste. Their presence reveals the very opposite. 0 The indications are that the Democratic nominee, Governor Wilson, will be the next president of the United States. The Republican forces are hopelessly split. Many believe that Mr. Roosevelt will some out ahead of Mr. Taft. He is a force to be reconed with, certainly. Governor Wilson has shown himself to be thoroughly capable of handling the situation. He has gained ground every day since his nomination, and has shown a poise of mind, a breadth and depth of mind that is most encouraging to his friends and disheartening to his enemies. It now looks like President Woodrow Wilson, and that's a fact. O STREET IMPROVEMENTS. The side walk on Gadberry street from Nicholson's bank to the Colton corner has been laid in cement and is a great convenience. Union has, for the population, a large amount of this kind of improvement. It is money well invested, and helps everybody. O LET S COMMEND THE CITY AUTHORITIES. Our city authorities are to be com mended for the excellent condition here now. The movement to suppress the illicit sale of whiskey has V resulted in giving us a clean town. For some time Mayor Duncan and the ?, police force have been putting forth strong efforts to put down the blind , tigers. The success that has been attained is manifest to even the casual observer. More than one man has been heard recently to say: "Conditions here are vastly improved." and it is true. There has been little evi W dence of this nefarious business here recently. There is whiskey being shipped to near-by points, and some of this is doubtless brought to Union. But there is little that finds its way ? directly into Union. The mayor has had a strict guard over the express office and the railway stations, and it is a hard matter now to get the shipments safely through. THE COUNTY FAIR. The Union County Fair is almost here. October 16, 17, and 18th are the days the fair will come off. The management is looking: for a g:reat success this year. Every effort has been put forth to make the fair a good one. There will be g:ood exhibits and there will be attractions for all. The grrounds are in excellent shape. Everything: is ready for the fair. Let everybody come. 0 LETS FORGET AND FORGIVE. Now that Governor Blease has been uuciareu me nominee 01 tne Democratic primary, let it rest at that. Let's forget the bitterness, the strife and the turmoil of battle and go to work to take care of the business of the commonwealth. Let's create better business conditions and strive to make good business. Much depends upon the attitude of mind possessed by the public. Many of us did not get what we sought. Many of us lost our vote in the gubernatorial race. What of it? We did what appeared to be our duty. We lost. Let it go at that. Let's take our medicine and go on with the work that lies to our hand. No Republican, no Bull Moose nor any other moose should be allowed to come in and break our ranks. We are Democrats, and make no apology for so being. Our people are one in blood and one in purpose. Sometimes we act with poor judgment; some times we show a streak of viciousness. We are far from perfect. But we are one in blood and one in destiny. Let us not forget that. To forget means our defeat and humiliation. Let all bitterness be put out of the inner shrine of our hearts and let us go forward to greater and better things. O News From Route 4. Union, S. C., Oct. 1.?The long continued cloudy weather seems to be over now for a while, or at least, I suppose most of us hope so. I sus- i pect quite a number of us are glad to see the sun shining again. The recent rains have helped gar- ' dens and all late crops. Also have helped to soften the around, ma f?nnera can prepare their land for sow- 1 ing grain, and do other fall plowing. Think there will be a great deal of 1 various small grain sown around here. The Rally Day exercise at Bethlehem Sunday was a success. i Mr. James Faucett, Misses Bess Kelly and Carrie Haney spent the day Sunday at the home of Mr. J. G. Faucett.

Mr. Ben Faucett left Monday for Clemson College. His many friends wish him much success in his school work there. Miss Florence Haney spent Sunday afternoon with Miss Beatrice Faucett. Points in Favor of Wilson. He is not a lawyer. He has no war record. ~ ^ ..n*iL ne is iiul uuiiiiuLtcu witit an uplift magazine. He does not. care for hunting hears or other wild creatures. He has never been a judge and does not boast of a judicial temperament. He has done something else in his life besides hold political office. He does not come into prominence on account of either the death or the favor of his predecessor. MURDERER USES GALLOWS IN HIS FLIGHT FOR LIFE. Reno, Nev., Oct. 2.?Fred Skinner, a murderer, in the condemned cell in the state penitentiary, early this morning freed himself from the cell, broke the door leading from the death chamber into the gallows room, mounted the gallows, and dropped through the gallows in his stocking feet as the guard passed through the darkened room., tore up the wooders i i_ u lmuiuiK, crept/ uii ills stuiimL'ii uiiutT the buildings, and sneaked through the prison yard to the electric fence, carrying a high voltage. With all the knowledge of electricity, he short-circuited the wires, passed through the fence, reestablished the circuit, and slipped away for the mountains. Skinner murdered a woman in Ryolite. He has been feigning insanity and asked to be locked up in the hospital. Fearing a scheme to escape, he was locked in the condemned cell. He made a perfect dummy, which he loft in his bed, and this was seen by the guard every hour. Skinner's escape is most remarkable, and was accomplished single-handed. MUIpJ =====The Missing Suitcase "I know you had a perfectly delightful time at ydur house party," Bald the girl who was calling. "Indeed, we did," said the hostess. "It Is too bad that you could not be there." "I was heart-broken becauM^^had girl your brother Is engaged to." ^ "Oh. Alice. She's the dearest thing!" "Nice looking?" "She's a dream! Tall and slender and willowy." "One of the staid and dignified type?" "Not at all. That was what we feared, but sbe'a nothing of the sort. I laughed so much during the week she was here that If I never laugh again I can t complain tnat l naven t had my share." "You might pasa round some of the fun." "Well, you know it la not a long Journey here from Middle Junction, where Alice lives, so she decided not to bring a trunk " *Not bring a trunk?" "No, she decided to put everything In her brother's suitcase." "But what in the world can a girl get Into a suitcase?' "You would be surprised to know all that Alice got Into that suitcase. It must have been aa big as a box* car." "Didn't you see it yourself?" "Indeed I didn't. That is the part that Is so funny. She sent the suitcase over to the checking room at the railroad station and then she went a a J ikA A?kA? uiuuuu UHU uy tucr uiuvi stuff she wanted to bring. There was an armful of gifts for the children and things of that sort. Then she thought she would bring a dozen oranges. So when she climbed aboard the train, with her cloak and her umbrella and her oranges and her Bultcase, she was pretty well loaded down. "There was not enough room In the rack over her head for all her belongings, but she turned one of the seats over ana puea most or ner piunaer on the seat opposite her. The snltcaso sh? slid In between the two seats which were back to back. After a while sh? leaned her head on something and went to sleep.

Greenville Boy Gets $700 Reward. Greenville, Oct. 2.?Sheriff Poole announced today that he had turned the reward for $700 offered by the state for the arrest of T. U. Vaughan over to R. E. Allen, Jr., the Greenville boy attending a medical school in Baltimore, who detected him in a church. Allen, it is understood, has agreed to turn over $duu 01 tne amount to the detectives who made the arrest.
