HONORED IN LOUISIANA
W. R. Goss, formerly of Union, now
superintendent of the waterworks department
at Shreveport, La., has been
released temporarily from that position
in order that he may take charge
of and design the water supply and
other engineering work at Camp
Beaurcguard, Alexandria, Lia. A mil
lion and a half gallons of water must
oe produced and the work must he
completed by August 15.
This is quite a compliment to Mr.
floss' ability and the city commissioners
of Shreveport readily gave
him a leave of absence while he was
engaged in the work. A Shreveport
paper, in complimenting on the appointment,
said that the friends of
Mr. C.oss felt "more like complimenting
the government in selecting him
[ than in complimenting Mr. floss himI
self." The paper adds: "Mr. Goss is
recognized as one of the most practical
and expert waterworks engineers
! in the South today."
- Mr. Goss attended the Citadel at
Charleston and later graduated from
i I.ehigh university, lie is a brother of
, Mrs. D. S. Pope of Columbia and of

II. K. Drew Killed by LightningTragedy
Occurred at Residence
in Orangeburg Friday Evening.
Mr. II. K. Drew, until recently
prominently connected with the Union-Buffalo
mills here, but for the
past few months general manager and
vice president of Santee Mills, Orangeburg,
was struck by lightning
and instantly killed Friday afternoon
about <>:30 o'clock.
Mr. Drew had just returned from
his office and was washing his hands
in the bath room when the bolt came
in and struck him dead.
News of Mr. Drew's death was
learned with regret by the people of
Union. He was held in high esteem
by the citizens generally, and was a
progressive and thoroughly competent
mill man. During his several years'
stay here he was a strong supporter
of every public cause, giving a particularly
strong encouragement to
the Union Chamber of Commerce and
fo public questions generally. He is
survived by his wife and one son,
Mr. Harold Drew, now in the United

be hard to get.

Mrs. J. D. Jones on South street at!
5 d'clock "Friday afternoon.? ?et.ev/xd'

FINE FIELD OF CORN.
The corn being grown by Mr. J. A.
Wilburn, near Hebron church, is one
of the finest pieces of corn we have
seen in many a day. It looks like a
canebreak and js as green. It is, as 1
Mr. Ij. J. Browning said in a recent
speech here, an inspiration to look at
this field of corn.
If this is anything like a fair index
to the general condition over the 1
county we do not think our people '
need fear starvation another year.
