FRIDAY, JAN
Mr. J. Rion McKissick has recently n
resigned his position as editor of the 1
Richmond Times-Dispatch and has
p
entered upon the practice of law in ^
Greenville; S. C. 1<
Mr. McKissick is one of Union
county's sons and is a young man ot P
whom we are proud. He is strong in ^
mind and body and is possessed of a
high ideals. He will be heard from in a
this state, for he has the qualities of ^
mind and heart that will win for him j"
a permanent and worthy success. (

THE UP-GRADE. h
I
It is easy going down hill. It re- n
quires energy to climb. Drones and f
deadbeats and loafers never did and ^
never will contribute to the making j,
of a town. Such characters are hurt- C
ful. They destroy wealth. They pro- ^
duce discord. They are worse than ^
o
useless. A city is held together, advanced,
made prosperous by its work- a
ers. Every man and woman contri- h
44
buting a full days work at some use~
-*?>?v ful occupation is contributing to tho t
upbuilding of Union. Every loafer, |,
black or white, is helping to pull u
down. Nowhere is this more em- ?
phatically true than in the case of j ^
certain gaudily bedecked negro worn- ^
en, found here and found in almost e
every community. "They toil not, \
neither do they spin, yet Solomon in ?
all his glory was not arrayed like one (
of these." They are destructive of i,
wealth, morals and self respect. They, t
are a constant menace to health and ^
a shameless stench in the nostrils of *
s
decent people. How do they live? a
Where do they procure fine raimentT t:
What should be done with them.? t!
This last question is easily answered.
s
They should be made to show some c
visible means of support or made to n
move on. One of the verv first sten*. n
towards a bigger, better Union, a s
stronger business situation, a more ^
prosperous condition lies in this di- ^
rection. Run out the shameless id- tl
lers. Let the first step up-grade n
be a moral step. Advancement along 1
all lines will follow swiftly in the a
wake of such a movement. a
Now that Union is awakening, now V
that real estate is advancing, lets K
make a permanent up-ward step.
Lets build up a moral town, clean
through and through; if this is done,
v?c iit-cii nave no iear duc mat tne
present advancement will continue, ^
and our city come into its inheritance. ^
SANTUC NEWS. jj
SANTUC, Jan. fi.?Did you tfive c<
any Christmas presents, and if so, did j,i
they amount to much? And would w

blessed to tfive than to receive." n<
On Christmas day, about two tj
o'clock p. m., a little stranger, a
small young man.entered the waiting I c(
room at the railroad depot dripping!
wet and proceeded to dry himself by
by the stove, or try to, and was very
quiet. I saw him when No. 13 came
up and thought him a very quiet, P
bashful boy from some place or fam- 01
ily in the near neighborhood. Most ^

That night the W. O. W. held a meet- Vl
ing?their regular meeting. It was
a dark and dreary night and but a ei
handful were present. Soon one oY hi

a man in the waiting room at the de- it

lembers present to go down after
he meeting and see what could be
one for him. The entire membership
resent went down and entered in a
ody and suddenly frightened the fel)w
so badly that his breath almost
;ft him, but Dr. Thomas, the Camp
hysician attentively examined him
nd talking to him soon reassured
im. He was aching in feet and legs,
.pain in his side, a bursting head
che, and he was in rigors and periaps
hungry. The doctor gave hiin
ome medicine, a supper was given
im and after about 45 minutes he
nan to talk connectedly. S-?n:j
bought he was ? Creek mid asked
lim if he knew any of the Greeks at
Jniun, and sat up and said, "I am
lot a Greek, I am an Italian, the old
ountry is Italy." And his narrative
s something like this: He came over
lere about two years ago and landed
n New York, later he was in New
)rleans. He showed some pictures of
imself and a Texas cowboy with
heir lassoes, but said he had worked
n a ship?that being mostly his busness.
He went on an American ship
nd it docked at Norfolk to coal and
le got off, he and two others and one
Yankee man," but after some time
he other two went on their way and
his one was making his way to Combia
where he had a friend. He was
[nderstood to say that he was run
ut of the waiting room at Lockhart
unction Wednesday night and spent
he night out of doors and tramped
lis way to Santuc Thursday, being in
very bit of that hard rain, ar
ery wet. Here Kb gave out, was out
f money but would not beg. The W
}. W. made up enough by chipping
i little mites to pay his way to 0>
tmbia and some to hire a hack *o "to
o a hospitai as Dr. Thomas urged
im to do. While waiting for No.
0 some of the neighbors' boys and
ome of the W. U. T. Co.'s linemen
11 helped and then put him on the
r^in, put the money for his fare in
be conductor's hand, requesting him
o see thb fellow through. From a
ick man's eyes he looked upon the
rowd as his friends and that he had
ot fallen among thieves. But for the
leeting of the W. O. W. that little
tranger might have died in the deot
that night and one man who saw,
ailing the attention of them to the
act. A sympathy was touched, and
hey sent the fellow along. He was
o tramp. He was not trying to beat
is way. He was dressed very neatly

OTTARAY MILLS, Jan. 6? Please
allow .me space iri your valued col- *
umns to tell of some things down -j
here among the mill people.
We have moved into the J. C. Cudd i
house, East Main street. I came here
to continue my duties as pastor of
the Mon-Aetna Baptist church, believing
this was a quiet orderly, lawabiding
people. But last night about
7:30 o'clock, people began coming
right into our quarters, men and |
women, Baptists and Methodists, j
boys and girls, until a large crowd'
had taken possession of the place like i
they were at home. They sang sweetly;
Rev. D. C. Wiley read the 37th '
Psalm and made a good talk. Bro. 1
J. C. Mitchell led in prayer, the writer '
then tried to express his appreciation (
for the gathering of good friends in
our humble home, but our heart was i
so full of gratitude to God until no' 1
words could be found by which we I
could express to each one of the many '
. dear good people who have remem- 1
bered us, our appreciation for the (
| hearty and cordial reception they ,
lave given us. Although this kind
if way of doing things makes us feql I
deeply grateful to God that our path" '
' vay through life has led us this wsq* 1
While we are continuely reminded 1
^ our personal weakness and our irui^ j
bility to do the work that haafrj^MT^
' committed to Us, since this gotfn peoT j
pie have invaded our home as' %hm <

full an^ leaving empty handed, thus
leaving piled up many dollars worth
of the necessaries of life. We now
feel more determined to try an'd go
forward with the work here for we
now feel assured that we have the
sympathy and prayers of all this
Godly people. And we will now
gladly forgive them for doing us as
they have if they will continue to remember
us at the throne of grace and
visit our humble home.
May God abundantly bless them
every one and help us to ever prove
ourselves worthy of their kind remembrances.
I also wish to ac,
knowledge with thanks the help re
ceivea on pastor s salary irom tne '
management of the Monarch cotton '
mills and Ottaray mills. j
May God abundantly bless them.

Bear Snapshots a Duchess.
The Duchess of Connuught, aunt of
King George and wife of Canada's goYeruor
general, was photographed by a
bear at Robson, B. C.. when, as she
stopped to take a close snapshot of a
tame cub, he playfully seized the bulb
of the camera In his mouth. *
Startled, the duchess sprang back,
turning the camera toward herself and
was looking directly into It when the
pressure of the bear's little Jaws on the
bulb snapped the shutter.

"No telepboue counects with his dungeon

The Hue falls flat today. But "Pinafore"

for the first practical telepboue were
Issued. Thus when the words were
written they reluted to a new and

of the day. and the Gllbertlau line was
really a gay, topical jest
It is a safe guess, however, that very
few of the people who laughed at
"Pinafore" in the seventies foresaw
what the telephone would really prove
to be. The years of the telephoue are

THREE WONDERFUL MIRRORS.
Used In Place of a Telescope In Mount
Wilson Observatory.
From Los Angeles by trolley car and
burro back up through the pine forests

No dome or gigantic telescope greets
the visitor when he gains the summit
A. huge Noah's ark of canvas destroys
all preconceived ideas of what an observatory
should look like, and within
three wonderful mirrors take the place
of tlie great tubular telescope of other
observatories.
The observatory building is constructed
of canvas, the sides being set
in the form of tiers of steeply overlapping
eaves. This arrangement is calculated
to allow for perfect ventilation
and Is re-enforced by a vertical wall
of canvas, which can be raised or lowered
at will to obtain an even tempera

The peculiar arrangement of mirrors
that replaces the familiar tolescope la

the slaughter of his people,, "flinging
a few coins to the mutilated survivors
as he rose from bis knees." He
tvould compel parents to slay their
children, and children to kill one another;
and If there was a survivor
'the amiable monarch would dispatch
tilm with his own hands, shrieking
with laughter at so excellent a joke."
