GsN- A few weeks ago we said we had num-
ber of very superior FIGURING Mills in this
County, but designated only one, for the simple
reason that, at that time, could not speak
from experience Of the quality of the flour
made at any other mill. We can now speak
"what we do know of other mills.
One friend, 4. NJ. Whitcsides, of the Union
Steam mill at this place has requested MS to test
the quality Of the Flour ground at his mill,
which We have done thoroughly, in every way,
from Johnny Cake to Loaf Of Bread and
arc c.mpeled to acknowledge that ii has never
failed to come up to the very highest standard
of the most popular brands.
A few years ago our country mills were not
reliable for turning out good flour, and 1t is
gratifying to us to be able to say that they have
lately been greatly improved AMI better millers
have charge of them, so that now the mills of
Union, so far as we know, turn out the very fin
est quality of Flour and are deserving the pat
ronagc of the neighborhoods in which they orc
located.
We should bo pleased to know that the Flour
from the mills of Union County held reputa-
tion in the market equal to the most noted
brands. Let our millcrs strive for such an hon
orabe distinction.

A CoNEEDERATE's KINDNESS REMEMBERBD.-
In ONO Of the hotly contested fights in Virginia
during the war, Federal officer fell wounded
in front of the Confederate C breastworks. While
lying there wounded and crying piteously fer
water, u confederate soldier (Jamcs Moore, Of
Burke County, n. c., declared his intention Of
supplying him with drink. The bullets were
flying thick from both sides, and Moorc's friends
endeavored to dis suade him from such a hazard
Gus enterprise. Despite remonstrance and dan
ger, however, Moore leaped the breastwork,
canteen in hand, reached his wounded enemy,
and gave him drink. The Federal, under o
sense of gratitude for the timely service, took
out his gold watch and offered it to his benefac
tor, but il was refused. The officer then asked
the name of the man who had braved such dan
ger to succor him. The name WAS given, and
Moore returned unburt to his position behind
the cmbankmcnt. They saw nothing more Of
each other. Moore was subsequently wounded
and lost limb in one Of the. engagements in
Virginia, and returned to his home in Burke
County. A few days ago he received o comInu-
nication from the Federal soldier 10 whom he
had given the ''cup of cold water on the occa-
sion alluded to, announcing that he had settled
on him the sum of $4,000, to be paid in four
equal annual installmcnts of $4,000 each. In,
vcstgation has established the fact that there is
no mistake or deception in the matter Raleigh

Bay FROM THE CRADLE TO THE JAIL Last
Saturday evening the sympathies-and we may
gay the disgust of our citizens were excited at
seeing two constables, horseback, ride into
town having in charge three colored children
one 10, one 0, and one years old-as prison
ers The children were walking rapidly to keep
up with the horses.
From the information we have received, the
youngest child was sentenced to ten days in Jail
for stealing pockctful of corn, as he said, to
feed his pig the other two were sentenced to
ten days in Jail for stealing pair of old gate
hinges. They live about ten miles below this
town and we are told their parents bear bad
characters for honesty Trial Justices johnson
and Stokes were Immediately called on to admit
them to bail on writ of habeas corpus.
1t does to us that the trial and convic-
tion Of such children for such trivial crime,
not only O stretch of judicial discretion, but
a useless expense to the county. Neither of the
children is old enough to know the enormity of
the crime Of stealing be benefited by such
punishment. II would have been far better 10
have called upon the parents to punish them by q
sound foggng

which case the former owner is required TO make

taxable property may expect to be called on TO
make oath that they have none.
every Male citizen between the ages of twen-

their own labor, but are dependent on others
for living.
To prevent any future evasion of the law, an

dreds Of dollars by it, he will want no more fer
tilizers, and one application of the manure from
the stock will improve his land for years, while
the effects oil fertilizers only last one season.
But there is a moral aspect to this affair. No
man has right to raise stock upon another
mans food, rs many do now by allowing their cat

out permission from the owner or without giving

Laying aside the cost and trouble Of fencing,
the scarcity of fencing timber and the injury
often done to crops, we believe tho adoption of
the ne-fence law would be Of incalculable advan-
tagc to all classes Of the people, in the improve

er security TO the crops; in the improvement OF
the land, by the saving of manure; in preven-
ting neighborhood and personal difficulties, out
of which so often grow expensive lawsuits, and
in developing and establishing feelings of mutu-
al interest between the employer and employed.
Those who will not work, but depend upon
their neighbors for subsistence for themselves

will oppose the new law.

MR. EDITOR 1T is with some reluctance that
l write this to you, having noticed that you had

have to say may be productive of dissentions.
However, being true democrat, in the prop

the instrumentality of the Public Press than by
any other means, I respectfully beg leave to call
attention to the seventh section of the Fence

nfa- Since the railroads have been running
the fast schedule-just four days-almost every
town and settlement in this section of the State
has been visited by tho representative of Char
lesion newspaper. We state the fact rs an evil
dence of the meritorious enterprise and tact of
the propretors of those papers. Nor is their
enterprise and tact alone evinced in thus quick
ly, recognizing the advantages the fast schedule
gives them, but in the selection of their repre-
scntatives they show keen and sound business
knowledge. The best newspaper canvasser is
not mere gas-bag, who can amusc crowd for
hours by telling tales of very doubtful truth or
morality. If he represents a sheet worthy the
patronage of n moral and intelligent people, ne
must not only act the gentleman but be one in
fact. This the proprietors of tho Charleston
daily papers evidently know and appreciate
Their representatives arc gentlemen and rcspec-
ted rs such wherever they go.
Mr.. Il. c. Logan, Of tho News and Courier,
paid our town visit last Wednesday, and made
many friends for himself and the paper he rep
resents.
Mr.. Frazier, of the Charleston Jouraat Of
Commerce passed through here on Tuesday, upon
the excursion train and promised to spend q
day with us on his return.
Both of these men arc high-toncd gentlemen
and come fully up TO our idea of what tho repre-
should be. Our people must be their own
judges as to which paper they will give theil
patronage.

MARRIED WOMEN AND BUILDING ASSOCIATION
i.oASs.-rhc Supreme Court of Pennsylvania rem
dcred decision in the case of WolbAch and wife
against the Lehigh Building Association. 1t de-
clarcs that in all cases whore married women deal
with the associations the mortgage is good only
for the actual amount loaned and legal interest.
logical consequences seem to be that fthe mon
ey loaned has not been actually used to buy or
improve her separate real estate, but have been
used to raise money 10 pay her husbands debts,
or for other purposes. it is void altogether
This will no doubt, seriously affect the vast in
vestmcnts made by building associations on the
credit of mortgages given by married women,
and will prove grave matter for such associa-
tons. OF late years it has been avery common
practice for men to hold their property in their
wives nai.cs, and, wncn dcsrous Of loan, TO
join with wives i'll the mortgage, contrary to the
law rs il now appears. The effect of this dcci-
sion will certainly be seen in litigation consc-
qucnt upon suits on mortgages given by married
women, and total refusal by the associations
TO make future loans on any terms.
