Gen. Stephen d. Lee. l. resident Of
the Agricultural aud Msehs nical College
OF Mississippi, has fosmaD announced
Mo candidacy for tha Der locratic uomi-
nation for Goveeuor. 70 declares for
white supremacy IN Mississippi and
throughou. the South but thinks that
the race question is not the leading issue
in tba5 State. Industrial progress is
what is needed. Whatever tends TO
make tho people prosperous is of the
first importance. Manufactures, improv-
ed systems Of agriculture, and the en-
couragemept OF white immigration, he
submits az the matters to which the pub
lie attention and the energies OF
tho people should be directed. These
arc sound views, though by no means
new. General Lee will certainly lose
nothing by the adoption OF SO broad a
platform. And he would make most
excellent Governor.-RyiMcr.

The Johnson Rifles.

The Johnson Rifles.
The Johnson Rifles are preparing for
Plume Drill, Target Shooting and Picnic,
on the 4th Of July.
Probably no Military Company in the
State, has better material from which to
form good Company than the Johnson
Rifles of Union, both in the character of it
men, and its military with little drilling
as Il Company, every drill afternoon, aud not
a squad now and then, as we have seen OF
of the State.
II must be very discouraging to the
officers to prepare for drill, and 90 to the
armory, and find hardly enough to form o
squad.
Spur up, boys, and on the picnic day and
r"~""' S"Hntinc make p GOOD showing.
Prof. Rolfe's Address.
Prof. Rolfc, principal of the Union Ora
ded school, delivered an address to the pu
pills Of the School last Sunday morning, in
the Methodist Church.
Ills suhirct was, Christian Ethics, or the
rule OF Moral Conduct. Prof Rolfe han
died this important subject ably, and as his
address was his parting instruction to his
pupils, it was full of thought aud christian
niyice to those who have been under his care
for tho past two years.
The subject was very appropriate one
for the man and the occasion, as Prof. Rolfe's 6
walk before before his pupils and this COM
muhity has been such that advice from him
OH Christian Ethics can be accepted aud
fully appreciated by oil who know him
personally.

nent Baptist preacher, is causing a seu-
sation in his denomination in Georgia
with his peculiar views, he holding that
persons who have concluded that they

members are accepting his views, among
them some preachers, including the
Rev. j. a. McMurray, who was at one
time pastor ofthc Central BaptistChurch

or, her sister, of No 200 West Forty fret
street. Miss Farrell left South Carolina in
1865, intending to sail for Europe with Mr.
and Mrs Bues. 1t was subsequently report
cd that the ship on which the party was TO
sail was burned at sea. Mrs Mayer could
not obtain accurate knowledge of the burn
ing ship, and she is of the opinion that sh e
met her sister and Mrs. Bues in the street in
New York about seven years ago-Ner York
Herald, June 2l.
There is no doubt in our mind that Miss
Farrell was burned and also Mr.. and Mrs.
Bues, with whom she left, on board a vessel
from Wilmington, y. e. Mr.. and Mrs
Bucs were our neighbors 10 The Sand Hills,
about three miles from Columbia. and our

A LITTLE GIRL FOUND BY HEH

A LITTLE GIRL FOUND BY HER
MOTHER WITH A RATTLEsNAKE IN
HER LAP.-Denuison, Tex, Jure 21.-
Mr.. Fl. p. Hedden, who resides South
west Of Dennison, brought to the city
this morning his little child Sallie to be
treated for a snake bite. About 6
O'Clock this morning the little girl left
the house with pail on her arm to
gather blackbsrries near Stone Spring.
The child was expected to return homo
soon, as the family was to leave early to
pass the day with a neighbor. The
child being absent something over an
hour, Mrs. Haddsp proceeded to tho
spring. Tho child was not thsre, and
the mother called her name loudly sew
eral times. Receiving no response, she
left the spring and walked into the
blackberry patch to hunt up tho child.
Passing through tho patch she saw a
scene which made her almost faint with
horror. The child was seated on a
rock and in her lap was largo rattle
snake. The child was carrying the
snake, whose head was slightly elevated
huV moNluB W uuu ITO. COmcIltDeS
the snakes head would almost touch the
lips of the child, who pushed it away
without appearing to anger the snake.
The child was so completely under the
spell of the serpent that it paid no at
tcDtion to the mother, who screamed SO
loudly that her husband heard her a
quarter of a mile distant, and hurried
to the sceno.
When Mr.. Hedden appeared, the
snake placed itself in an at at.luds Of bat
tie, and the air vibrated with the noise
of the rattles. Mr.. IIeddea advanced
upon the snake, the child fell back as if
in a swoon, and the snake struck it on
the thumb Of tho right hand, and tbeu
sprang at IIedden, who killed it with
q stono. Hedden sucked the wound,
which, he is confident, saved tho life of
the little girl, Saaratus was also ap-
piled to the wound The hand aud arm
of the little girl were but very little
swollen when sho was brought to the city
for treatment.
The child says that she was sitting
on tho rock picking berries when the
suake appeared, and that she was unable
TO move when she looked at it; that she
was not afraid Of it, and when it waved
its head to and fro in her face she felt
like going to sleep.

A Cotton Factory and Oil Mill, Both.


new impulse is moving the people Of
Union, frou which we believe Cotton Fac
tory will be evolved.
Last week we suggested that the sub
scribers to the Oil Mill hold up awhile and
take hold Of the Cotton Factory but tho
Oil Mill men didn't like the sugges ti0u at
oil, and even went 50 far ss to assert that
our article was iudiscreet and would retard,
materially, the progress of the Mill, while
it could not advance the prospects Of
Cotton Factory; for it was out Of the ques.
tion to think that Union could stand two
such enterprises at the same time; and
further, that the Oil Mill enterprise had
progressed to point where II could neither
stand still nor 60 backward. The machiu-
cry had been ordered, and some Of it was
on the road; and further STILL the men
having the Mill enterprise in charge, did
not intend to let it stand still, go back ward,
or be merged into any other project.
was good thing for tho town, county and
stockholders, and they have determined
that it shall go forward. All they ask is
that the Farmers Of the county identify
themselves with it, and give it their en-
couragement, by subscribing to its stock,
providing it with all the seed they can
spare from planting, in exchange for meal
for feeding stock or for fertilizing their
land, or for cash.
Thcy, however, will place no straw in
the way Of n Cotton Factory, but are en-
couraging it in every way possible, and some
Of the Directors Of the Oil Mill are now
the largest subscribers on Tho list for Cot
ton Factory. In fact, the Oil Mill men are
now among the primo moving spirits Of the
Factory enterprise; so that we hav,
reason to hope that our suggestion Of last
week, instead of doing injury to anything
has made the Oil Mill more solid and
aroused the factory advocates from the
lethargy into which they had fallen, who
