For the Times
Written Con tracts.


Mr.. EDIToR:-Your correspondent "Lionnel,"
has certainly overlooked the Statutes in refer
encc to contracts between landlords and tenants
or laborers. II seems 10 me that he ought to
find all the remedies necessary without having
to resort to the "old English law" or the deci.
sions Of the Supreme Court. If he will look he
will find what constitutes "contract' between
landlord and tenant, as we'll as the remedy for
its violation by either party. Perhaps l may
mistake "Lonnels" object Probably he wants q
Law made by which cases Of violation may be
brought into Court upon n triangular basis, and
his neighbor B. made to suffer for the short
coming of an irresponsible laborer.
We know number of Landlords who never
have q written contract with their tenants, and
who scarcely ever have any trouble in settling
with them. We admit that it is always best to
have written contracts-such never forget the
conditions of the agreement, in case final settle
ment should fall into other hands from any
cause,
The idea that "every man be compelled by
Statute to enter into written contract, the first
Of every year, with his hirelings or tenants, is
simply ridiculous. 1t gives neither landlord
nor tenant chance to suit themselves.
Again, paying Trial Justice 10 cents to ap-
prove and file, in book kept for that purpose,
such contracts as may be presented to them," is
one of "Lionnel's" original ideas, which pre-
sumo the Trial Justices will discuss among them
selves.
Union county is represented by as able men
as any county in the State, and to them we may
look for n proper disposition of "Lionnels'
suggestions. WARD.

A Kind Word from q Valued Source.

Kind Word from q Valued Source.
1t is very gratifying to mark q disposition
among your readers to report the condition of
the crops as well other matters of common
interest, from various portions Of the County. Tn.
less people take interest in their County paper
it cannot succeed. If the readers of the 7Tprcs
want an interesting paper they must help the
editor Those who afford to take daily
paper-whose interests require them to keep
up with the timcs-may not feel much interest
in the local paper, but there are great many
who cannot afford to take daily-who, in fact,
have no use for it-nnd the County paper is
what they want. The farmers throughout the
County should report weekly rs to the condi-
ton of the crops and such local news rs may be
of interest. We all like to know what is going
on in different sections Of the County. Rut
there is yet higher view to take of the mat
ter:
The County paper is looked upon abroad as
the exponent Of tn, tone of character, intelli
gence and culture of it inhabitants. You can't
shake this off. Every member Of society is in
some degree responsible for the standing of his
County paper, and if its columns are dull and
uninteresting it follows Of course, that outsid-
ers conclude there is n lack of brains, public
spirit or County pride among the inhabitants.
Union has the reputation Of being q good
farming County its merchants enjoy abroad u
reputation for integrity that is really cnviable
They pay their debts and their credit is good
There are several young men, educated profess
sional characters, oil of whom nearly complain
| Of hard times and not much to do There arc
intelligent young farmers throughout the County
who can write sensible articles, if they will try.
1t is the interest of every man in society TO make
| his County paper a medium through which the
whole County can be reused at morlent. 1t
should be the exponent OF public opinion-thc
guardian of the peoples rights, the moral edu.
Gator rs well as news exposition.
Spartanburg has two papers, has York,
Chester, Grecnville Abbevlle, and many others.
Are these counties better able to support papers,
or do they contain more intelligent popula-
ton ? Brain work is as essential to the success
| of people rs manual labor, and rs manual la
| Dor strengthens the muscles and gives tone to
physical functions, so docs mental culture i'm
prove the intellectual powers. The man who
allows his mental faculties to lie dormant will
become daily more imbecile--a drivclcr and q
shame. JIG.

Tho Convenience of q Bank.

1t may be of interest to many of our subscri-
bers to know that, during the busy season, the
Bank ut this place will sell Drafts, available
anywhere in the United States, at par.
Parties desiring to forward funds TO any given
point can, by purchasing Bank Draft save
Express charges, the cost of P. o. Money
Order, and at the same time secure the advan-
tage Of greater convenience, with equal, il not
increased security. There is no means of send
ing money more simple, safe, or business-like.
Drafts can be bought for sums as small as one
dollar, and for any amount above that.

A BLOODY REVENUE ArrRAY.-Spartanburg
September 22.-John Is. Painter was arrested
here this morning by s. j. Davis, United States
m irshal aud special deputy collector, on q bench
warrant issued in North Carolina in 1873, and
gave bail TO appear before the United States
Court at the next term in Asheville. This after
noon he was again arrested by Davis on the
same matter which he had given bond this
morning, and Davis being intoxicated, drew
his pistol and threatened to shoot Panter.-
When Painter attempted to take the pistol from
him it was discharged. the ball striking and
shattering Davis's left thigh bone. Painter ran
and was pursued by crowd. Anthony Harvey
and Sam Herbert, both colored, fred at him,
the former hitting him iR the fieshy part of the
left thigh. Harvey and Herbert were arrested
and are in Jail. Davis's wound is being dressed.
1t is thought the leg may have to be amputated.
The whole trouble was caused by Davis being
drunk. Pantcr's wound was slight, and he
has succeeded in making his escape.
LATER. The Spartan informs us that after
Painter was shot che no longer attempted to
escape, but quietly awaited till some one arres-
tel him.

A DUEL ON FooT.-Columbia, September lS.
The prcliminaries for hostile meeting between
two prominent citizens of Sumter, both members
of the House Of Representatives, were arranged
yesterday. One of the principals was arrested
and placed under bond at his home in that
county last night. The other, with his second,
passed Columbia to-day on his way to Sand Bar
Ferry The parties are Col. J. J. Dargan and
Maj. Jos. II. Earle.
The last news we have received fromthe above
parties is the following,s which we find in the
Columbia Register of Wednesday: 1t was re.
COL Dargan and their seconds had reached Rock
Hill yesterday and gone across the country and
were to fight the same day. 1t is supposed the
meeting took place somewhere in North Carroll
no, on Tuesday and great anxiety is felt rs to
the result.

The First Battle.

VlIbC bHCLIt.
Our new Town Marshal had his first battle in
the interest of the quiet and good oider of the
town, last Monday night, and notwithstanding the
numbers against him were two to one he achieved
glorious victory, capturing the whole force
Of the enemy. 1t won't do to fool with Marshal
Harris, boys. If your want fight You can find
easier work than tackling him. He has made
up his mind to do his duty at every hazard and,
like Davie Crockets coon, when he "goes for
you" you might as well "come down" at once
and save further trouble

a MIDNIGHT OUTRAGE.-Last Monday night
at . o'clock a party of unknown persons went
to the residence of President W. ii. Hardin, of
the Cheraw and Chester Railroad, and cursing
fearfuly, called for him to come out: Mr..
Hardin was absent from home. Being apprised
Of the fact, the marauders vented themselves of
voley of borrid oaths, saying they had come
to kill him, and although they had missed
him, they would yet have their revenge.
They rode into the yard and otherwise commit
ted malicious trcspass on the premises. Fail
ing in their diaboical purpose, they dispatched
the yard dog. They fired two shots into the
dogs body and then left.
The invaders were unknown, as was also the
cause of their dastardIy conduct. Steps have
been taken to ferret out the matter, and it is to
be hoped that it will be quickly and successfully
done. Persons guilty of such an outrage in n
civilized community should be summarily put
10 the ropes end. Chester Bulletin.

EDUCATED ABRoAD.--The number of South Car
olina young men who are going abroad to COM
plete their education is a subject we'll worthy
the consideration of the Trustees of the Univer-
sity at their next meeting.
The above from the Columbia Register suggests
to us that while our excellent Governor is call
ing for Agricultural statistics and statistics of
crime in the State, why not call for statistics rs
to the number of young men sent out of the
State to complete their education. 1t would be
valuable information in the discussion Of the
University question next winter. If each coun-
ty sends out of the State an equal number with
Union, we estimate that not less than 500 young
Carolinians complete their education in other
States-perhaps many more.

10 Tax PaYers.
After Tomorrow the Treasurer will be in his
Office ut this place, until the Both of next month
20 receive the taxes Of this county. We advise
oil who possibly can 10 make payments before
the crowd becomes so great-which is usually
the case during few of the last days-that the
Treasurer has not time to give receipts for all
The law makes no allowance for being too late,
and the Treasurer is compelled to close his book on
the night of the 30th, so that the penalty will be
added to all taxes unpaid upon his books at that
time. Another important advantage will be
gained by early payments Last year there
was great grumbling about the errors committed
by the Treasurer. Most of those errors were
caused by the great hurry of the last few days
Of collecting taxes. Hundreds crowded. the
Treasurer's office from morn till night, clamor-
ing to pay and get receipts We then thought
it would require man to be more than human
not to make many mistakes amid such din and
pressure.

Newspaper Duns.

newspaper Uuns.
Many complain that Editors do the most dun
ming Of any other class. One reason for the
complaint is that everybody sees and reads every
EDITORIAL dun that appears in the papers. Most
merchants dun those they cannot see personal
ly and conveniently, once year through the
newspapers, with imperative demands for pay
ment, often with n threat to sue, and no COM
paint is made about that; that is all right; those
who owe the merchant ought to pay him, is the
general cry; but tho Editor who has from 500 to
1000 little debts Of 50, due every week in the
year, scattered all over the county, and distrb-
ued among as many individuals, not one enth
Of whom he sees moro than once a year and
one-half Of whom he would not know if he met
them in the street, besides the we'll known fact
that onc-hnlf the people never think of paying
debts until they are dunned, in some way !;
notwithstanding all this, ifthe Editor publishes
two duns in year he is marked down as de-
cided bore-an "invetcrate dun"
Well gentlemen, We can't help what you say
or think of us, we tell all who owe us that we
want money and you are the snly persons we have
a right to call on for it. In consequence of the
scarcity Of money the past Summer we have been
very indulgent, until now we find four-ffths of
our subscribers are in arrears and we think it
nothing but fair, now that cotton is bringing q
decent price, that you should set aside from
your first sales the trifling amounts due us.
