Mr.. EpIroR :-Business led mo last week to
tn, Northern portion of your County, and | was
glad to see the manifest prosperity and happi-
ncss Of the people under llampton'S rule The
effects Of an honest administration of the State
government arc plainly seen. Peace rcigns-
both races contcnted and co-workcrs in the
great work of redemption.
1t my pleasant lot to spend night at
the former residence of that emincntly worthy,
patriotic and christian gentleman, COL James
Jelcrics, deceased. The premises abound with
man. the early friend OF my youth. The Colon ell $
only son, Capt. John Il. Jcitcries, now occu-
pies the residence. found him ''chip of
the old block kind and hospital lc, extending
"Iiighlanl welcome" to his happy home. As
the father so is the son. Captain Jciicrics is Il
praclca! planter; his plantations yield an
nually about POO bales cotton, with corn, wheat
AMI cats enough for home consumption.
Cold and weary, | was taken i'm by that
staunch citizen and genial friend, William +.
Eison, Esq. like to be so .'takcn in" under
such circumstanccs-takcn to n country fire and
II dinner, such as editors enjoy and love to
write about. Mrs. Es., pure wine, made by
herself out of grapes grown on the premises,
surely is equal to that OF which good old Noah
so freely drank.
| MIR. Eison presents n rare case. His former
slaves remain with him. Sensible negroes
| Their old master is their best earthly friend.
They occupy neat white washed cottages have
their corn cribs fodder stacks, smoke houses,
buggics, &C..
SIR Eison warmly advocates the erection of
n monument over the brave Gen. Gadberry. |
un lcrstand that not even rude stone marks
the spot where the hero sleeps Such neglect
of the heroic dead is wrong. Union should
move in the matter; Spartanburg will assist.

For tho Times.
The State Universities.

The State Universities.
Mr.. EDITOR We dislike to oppose any re-
commedation made by our excellent Governor,
but we think when any measure is proposed
which threatens the general good of the people
Of State or community. they should be heard;
let that measure cope. from whatever source it
may. any-neaslifs wh,sl-~snld -iasrsase the
burden Of taxes, without enhancing the general
good initiates against the best interests of the
people. We believe the recommendation con-
cerning the two Universities is il-timcd and
uncalled for, and if carried out would be inju-
rious to large majority of the people. 1t would
entail upon them heavier burden of taxes
which is already too hcavy-whie it would ben
eft comparatively but few. And this burden
would have to be borne so long as the two uni
verstics existed, or continued to be sustained
as the one is nor, and has been since its esab-
lishment.
What we have said Of the tro Universities
applies to the one now existing. This University
of the state is an excellent place for the ric h
for comparatively few poor young men enter its
halls, to get their education chcaply and per-
feet themselves in habits of dissipation, while
tho State receives but meager compensation for
I S9E "V"O,y J-i--r---!'H"..s. o. ---
Make the University selfsustainihg, by lib
cral endowment, and place it under the control
of some other body or power than it now is and
we will bid you God speed. Let the cndow-
mcnt be n free will offering and no gathering
| of taxes for that object and loud amcns will be
heard from every quarter of this tax-ridden
State.
Il
College in :ipartanburg furnish 'cheap and am
pie means of acquiring knowledge" to the white
male youth, not only of this State but Of others
also. And we may add, tn csc institutions of
learning are nov in successful operation, with
out having imposed any tax at all upon the peo-
pie. While such advantages of acquiring
knowledge cheaply are afforded there seems lit
tie necessity for taxing impoverished people
to keep up n State University, and still less to
build another. =
We are pleased to see cou rdown npcn that
cnrsc to the planter, the lien law. We have yet
to meet the prudent thinking farmer who wish
es it extended one dry. 1t has already existed
too long for the good of county. Its opera
| tions have almost impoverished a large majority
of the planters of this section. 1t has at the
same time enriched the mel chant and trader
Uuler its working "snap Judgments were casi
ly obtained and the products of the farm were
taken at nominal prices. Why, Mr. Editor, un-
der these snap judgments we have known corn
to be sold and bought Jy tie msrchoHt, at 80 cents
per bushcl, when the same merchant was selling
it at Sl,25 per bushcl Let om representative,
! in the legislature see to it that the interest o
the PAINTERS is protected in this matter onG
that the lien law be not vcvivcd for we are sal S
fed that no time for the abolition of that law il
never ue morc propuiUus tHunS~nc present.

No Glaring Misstatement.

NO Glaring Misstatement.
In the Spartanburg Herald of this week there
is long Communication upon the late "Revc-
nue. Raid" in this County, dated "Bogansvillc
Township, Union County, Jan. II, 1878, and
signed Citizens of Bogansvilfe Township"
which cegpences with-"lVilf< f<yoir allow the
miss's Z Tst appeared in fhe Union
TINES in regard to a Revenue Raid, rs we see
you copied it in good faith, he having published
it, as you say, on the statement of an Eye
Witness" At the close of the article in the
Efratd is requst that nee republish it.
I lin the first place, if there were ''glarng mis-
Statements in our report of the affair. the pco
pie Of Boeansville Township should have cor
rcctcd them through the same channel. They
know full well that ever ready to cor
rect any errors that made by us cditorally;
but as they have chosen another vehicle and
used anything but courteous terms toward us
we do not feel inclined to republished that ar
tclc.
In the next place we can find no gldriHy mis-
statements in our report, after comparing II with
the article published in the Hcrdid and also with
ono, in manuscript, now before us, which citizen
.s Of assss;ta Township l'gs requested y. T. e
We gaHlthc two reports that were prevalent
in the community at the time, while the main
features of both had been published I'm the
Charleston papers, some days before they al,-
pearcd in the TINES, and we then stated that VIC
did not know which to believe. If the "citizcns
of Bogansvillc" were so anxious to correct the
yIariny Measurements, why did they single out
the TINES as the only paper iE which those
ylarjny missio'cmcnts were made? And why did
they ignore the TIMES by publishing their reply
in another PAPER.
The only discrepancies of any Importance that
we can discover in our short account, when COM
pared with The long article in the Hcrald, is
where we say the stamps on the tobacco boxes
were affixed as made it easy to cvalc the law
but in the report above th;,. We state exactly
what "Citzens of Bogansvllc' state, that the
stamps werS soaked with water and could be
easily renewed, and tie officers took them from

clock the Wheels" but Frank said it was not
necessary, and drove on. The ''oif" horse re-
fused to hold Lnck, the saddle mule became un-
ruly and threw Frank when the team broke
anl ran off. Mr. bucket jumped out as soon as
he could and stopped the team. lie then went
hack to Frank, WHO was still lying upon the
ground. At first it was supposed the wagon
wheels had passed over him, and inflicted scr-
Gus internal injuries lie was taken home and
lived in great agony until the following Thurs
day--iust week. \ careful examination If
ter his death revealed the sad fact that his back
bone had been broken, either by the fall from
the mule or by the wheels of the wagon passing
over him. There were 10 bruises upon his
