Union is also noted for her patriotic spirit, and from the days of the Revolution her 1 sons have always stood ready to bear 1 arms for their country. 1 Many went with the Palmetto regi- , ment, so named by Col. Gadberry of \ Union, and won honors in the Mexican war, and brought back medals for ] bravery in action. ] One of these was James M. Fau- i cette, and Gen. Shields, U. S. A., said ] of him, "If I had a regiment of tC?n like Faucett and Alexander I could i charge Hades and capture it." Fau- j cett is buried at Beulah church, and , Fairforest chapter, D. A. R., is plan- ] ning to put a marker to his grave. , In 18fi0, at the very first call for ' troops, the young manhood of Union , responded and the Johnson Rifles, un- ] | der Capt. J. W. Goss, were mustered ^ j into service. When Goss was pro- l jmoted to a colonelcy, Richard Johnson ( | was elected captain. I In the war with Spain they again } offered their services and were com- l manded by Capt. Lindsay McNally, ^ and when the orders came for troops j to go to the border to protect American interests and the lives of Ameri- < can citizens from Mexican bandits t they were the first to respond, under j Captain John Frost Walker, Jr. To- ; day, September, 1917, he and his men { belong to the National Guards, and ] are training for service in France, if < necessary, to help the Entente Allies ^ put down Prussian militarism and German barbarism. To illustrate the ( patriotism of Union, it is only neces- < sary to add that her voluntary enlist- j ment of more than enough men to j make up her quota for the first draft { of troops, is unequaled in the United j States. \ The love and pride of country is not A 1 J*l- 1- it cuiiiuii'ii to tire maie sex. ine women i of Union are equally loyal, and there j are many patriotic organizations among them and they delight on tall < occasions to honor the braver it I :is j their purpose to T.ecQrd ttyfjacn-i and to preserve their 'j?-4>y ] marking historic spots and caring for ] the graves of their departed heroes, i The I).

The Union Times, first called The | Unionville Times, was established in 18.r>0, and the first editor was named i McKnight. In 1872, R. M. Stokes was the editor, with his office in the j : house formerly owned by Gov. States < Rights Gist, opposite the courthouse. , The paper was then called "The Union j Weekly Times," and the subscription ] price was $3.00 a year, payable in ad- ( vance, and the advertising rates were ( much higher than at present. In spite of this, an old edition dated Nov. | 8, 1872, had a page and a half of ad- , vertising matter, though the returns \ .E reporting Grant's election as presi- i dent, and Jeter's election as senator are in the same edition. ED An ad in the old Union Weekly j Times reads as follows: "Go to < ions, SchoppauTs and see the beautiful 1 dolls, French candies, all kinds of nuts, children's toys, canned oysters, \ lobsters and sardines, canned frifits, ] I* II1 1(1 ???va mm jCltiCOj L 1 ^ '.I I J> j LUUtlL'LUt not porter and ale, pure champagne, port, j npty sherry, Rhine wine and lager "beer." ] ?ged We do not find all these things adver- j gish, tised in The Union Times of today, 1 but it is a first class newspaper, 1 ^ edited by Rev.

Askew and was t ups. purchased by Col. Thos. N. Dawkins, <] ottle who remodeled it and furnished it for 1 igs," his first wife, a Miss Cleveland. Col. ( bies, Dawkins was one of the illustrious )wn- men 0f Upper South Carolina. He o ittle. was a son Qf Maj. Elijah Dawkins and ? e a grandson of John ,Nucholls, the a nm. ' * Whig1 leader who was killed by the i Tories. He came to Union to prac- c the tice law, and entered into a partnerlinst ship with A. W. Thomson and waa j successful from the first. He became j i. > of | nion Uo icidents of the Old Days Discription of Some of r That Have Long With Time. solicitor, and later was elected to the t>ench. In 1842, Miss Mary Poulton came to Union to take a position at the Female Academy as music teacher, unler Mr. Curtis. Previous to this she lad taught in Laurens, S. (\, and nade friends with the young family :here. On a trip to Laurens, Judge Dawkins was entrusted with a message from the Youngs to Miss Poulton; and tie called upon her, at Mr. Clough Meng's to deliver it. Tie was a widower at this time and was much attracted to the young school ma'am; the acquaintance ripen?d rapidly and they were married in May, 1845, the marriage taking place at Dr. Bobo's, the present site of 'Berkeley Place," the home of Mrs. John A. Pant, ''"he Bobo house was rolled back and is now used as a servant's house. There was a spring lack of the Bobo place known as the crystal spring, and a shady dell near iy was known as Lover's Retreat, and lither on Sunday afternoons the vil- __ age swains and their sweethearts vould stroll and while the hours awry n sweet converse. They went at once to live at "The Shrubs," a name given by the young iride to this house which was again emodeled and partly refurnished. The name was given in memory of a 'amily estate in England, for Mrs. Dawkins was a young Englishwoman. 3ome of the furniture for this house vas imported from England. rni * - i ne i^ueen Anne bed-room set in ;he bridal chamber above was "a ;hing of beauty," but, alas, "not a jo/ forever," for it was destroyed in the ecent fire, along with other valuable irticles. The solid gold candlesticks ind the waiter an' . nuffers were foi:unately saved. Mrs. Dawkins was a woman' of aroad and rare culture, and a charming conversationalist. She and her gifted husband Kent )pen house for years, and il.ustrious Members of bench and bar, and many nlJhiisteys .of the gospel sat at their lospitable board as honored guests, [n July, 1850, Bishop Shand stopped ivith them en route from Glenn Springs, a popular ante-bellum resort, and held service?the first Episcopal service in Union. When Sherman was on his way to Columbia, Gov. Magroth, with some State officials, came to Union with valuable State papers and records in their possession. Judge Dawkins invited them to remain as his guests, and Gov. Magroth decided to do so. Sentinels were posted on the lawn and couriers were constantly going backward and forward, to and from Broad river, bringing news of Sher- ? man's movements. ? Those were stirring times, and Un- ? ion was really the capital of South Carolina for a few days, for the governor and State officials and the u archives of State were here. "The library"?the small room behind the n drawing room?was called "The governor's office." g Judge Dawkins and his wife are a Duried in the same grave in the Epis- f copal cemetery, and marble tablets a to their memory have been placed b upon the walls of the church. H When Gov. Magrath departed from n Union he left in Mrs. Hawkins' care, ? a silver service that had been present- S ed to him hy the ladies of Charleston. a This was hidden in the cellar, and n when the war was over it was re- P turned to Gov. Maprrath, who was then r< practicing law in Charleston. One of the most interesting old P records that I found in studying the a listory of Union was a book of plats, ?1 showing the location of land and al louses in the early days of the vil- ci age. These were mostly drawn by a nan named Roth Rirdsonpr, commislion of location, an office which has >een abandoned. P1 Union is rich in valuable relics and bi lome of these are at the Carneprie l.iirary, founded in , through the ti iarnest and persistent efforts of Mrs. U i. G.
