The Man that Found Greenback.

| EDlrGR UNION TEES We people up here IN
North Pacolct are not superstitious, however en-
thusiastc we may be in regard to cotton crops,
| oat crops before they have been Ieaped, Hail
Stones, Lizards, Chips and ancient law books.
We arc becoming philosophical dcmons,ratve
people, bu: occasionally we meet with natural
! phenomena that we cannot solve, and of course
call on you and the correspondents of the Times
! to help US out Of the dilemma. My narrative
is u short one summed up in haste, rs follows {:
few days since renowned and highly re-
spccted farmer, known in this section for truth
and vcrac.ty, took stroll through his farm to
look at his cotton. When he left home he
swore by the holy poker he did not have n cent
of money about his person. When he had gone
through his cotton field he ran his hand into his
pocket for chew of tobacco AMI pulled out what
he thought to be some leaves of the weed, but up
on examining the wad he found it was not tobacco
at all, but vcrita5lc genuine Grcen5ac: FIVE
dollar hill. This mystery is now the talk of the
farmers, old and young, black and white, from
Browns Store to Goudcysvillc. We all know
the gcntleman-he cannot tell lie, ,nuch less be
mistaken about that five dollar bill. \ suspcctin-
politician over the way said that it might have
happened in this way: short time ago we had
gasconadc from McLanc at Gou leysvilc and as
he scattered his remarks considerably, it is quite
likely he scattered something else. But, Mr..
Editor, this "V'' is the only one found in North
Pacolet, and with none "tobackcr."
Mr.. Editor never intend, to be personal in
any of my communications. The subject of this
article may be an imaginary person or a person
Of spriBhtly imagination, for all you know, but
the people of lis section will not have much
guessing to do. Yours Kindly

The SHOTGUN Tournament at Spartanburg.

The SHOTGUN Tournament at spartanburg.
MIR. ELIroR:-The shotgun Tournament has
ended but we cannot let it pass in perfect silence
nor allow it to be numbered with the things that
"were' without word of thanks and commen-
dation so justly due to the Spartauburg Team
and the citizens of that cntcrprising town.
That the Tournament was grand success is the
opinion of the visiting teams and every spectator
All things were rropitious for the occasion-the
place, the time, the teams. The sport com +.
menced on Thursday the 2Gth and continued
until Tuesday 3lst instant, yet such was the
zeal displayed by the contestants, and s, great
the enthusiasm manifested by the spectators that
the interest in the Tournament did not grow
less but rather increased unto its close. The
Spartanburg Team cannot b. too highly compli-
mcnted for the success of the first SHOTGUN
Tournament in Upper South Carolina more
suitable ground for the sport could not have been
selected. Nothing that was necessary to the
success of the sport was left undonc. The visit
ing teams were snugly quartered in their re-
speciive booths, with every convenience at hand
while the comfort and ease OF the spectators
were not forgotten and good order was main
tainci throughout.
The tournament was c,nluctc in n fair AMI
impartial manner, and while it was very excit-
ing to mere locker to see the interest man
ifestcd by the captains and members for the sue
cess of their respective teams, nothing occurred
to mar the pleasure of even the mast sensitive.
The members of the SparanJurs G,.a Club
did all in their power 90 increase the pleasure
and make more full the JOY Of their "rivals in
arms and succcclcl in 50 doias sp!cnddly.-
Every one felt that if he himself was not q mem
Der ofa team, he was nevertheless the next friend
to member, and ardent advocate of the
cause Of Snot-Gun Tournaments
To the Spartans at large, we are glad to say,
they were pleasant days spent in their midst,
and that we highly appreciate the liberal aid
and hearty support they gave to the shotgun
Tournament at Spartauburg.

EDITOR UNION SIT was imagined that
the election on last Tuesday would somewhat
abatc the political fever but we are destined for
repetation which will increase the fever to q
"bHing pint" To escape the ;rials and vicIs-
situdes of being bored on political questions
your correspondent on Sunday last attended the
usual big meeting at Gilead, but hardly had ar
rived there when he was rapidly hustled into
a fen &c .corner, and heard the same old story.
Our mind was reverted from religion and drifted
back into weekday life, but rescued himself
by taking refuge in the Church. There was
I;ii;3 h;i usseu,v;us9 present, who were highly
edited by the able discourse of the Rev. Mr..
Scaifc; the meeting we understand will be con-
tnucd several days.
Mcssrs. Scott AMI Whitlock informs us that
tho Excursion to Columbia on September 9th
will remain in that city three hours and three
quarters, which will aive the cxcursionsts am
pie time to visit the principal buildings. Tickets
arc being rapidly sold and as only limited
number are to be disposed of those contemplat-
ing going should purchase them at an early
date. Good order will be maintained and the
Managers will do their utmost to afford every
one pleasant and comfortable time AS il is
the last Excursion this season we sincerely hope
all the cXcursonists will turn out and have O.
good lime.
Cotton is rapidly opening and the feelings Of
the Gnano Agents are getting elevated while the
farmer $ arc depressing Crops, especially cot
ton, should be well fertlized to secure good yield,
and unless fertilizers are used good crops cannot
be expected.
business has not increased much of late, in
this town, but before long things will have

one Of the old families Of New York.
Her parents decreed that on account of
her youth she could spend two years in

pledged eternal fidelity to each other and
registered their vows at parting that no
matter how many years might intervene,
each heart should beat sacrcdly for the
other until kindlicr fate should reunite
them. How the loved one sailed away in
the famous but Inflated steamship Presi-

brought back. How, annually, On the day
that the farewells were spoken, he repairs
to The seashore, and listening to the sad
murmur of the waves renews his VOW, and
now, through all the temptations that have
come with a long life of influence, wealth
and power, the pledge of his youth has
been faithfully kept, and his heart remains
sacredly true to his first love while the
