aS- Tho following go-ahead towns have
each an organized Cotton Mill Company,
with capital stock ranging from $50, 900 to
$780, 900: Chester, Laurens, Winnsboro,
Spartanburg eenwood. and Einety-six. In
all the absve places the stock has been sub.
scribed, charters obtained and work on the
buildings will commence in few weeks. We
believe all these mills are to be run by steam
like the enc spoken of some years ago, to be
built in Union; but it is confidently ex.
pected that all Of them will be in operation
long before the first installnen. is paid to-
ward the Union Mil.
Don't be too sure of that, gentlemen. II
the people Of this little town should get il
into their heads this Spring that n cotton
mill must and shall be built, they would
rush it through, il no proviso prevented.
They're hard to start, but when they do
start, they, well,-they start.

FsDr. Mellow hoped that the public would
at least do him Justice. He asked for no
more, feeling satisfied thet he was justifable
in the shooting.

hearing the pistol shot, he remained some
time in that neighborhood, and that presently
DR.. Mellow came out Of his office and
walked to the corner shop on Rutlsdge
street, near his house, aud purchased two
candles and some apples, and returned i'm
mediately. 1t was then that Mr.. Lafitte
accosted him with the remark about his
hat. 1t was later that Mrs. Mellow came
out with the child and went down Rutledge
street Miss Smith, it is thought came out
few minutes before her, and went to Mrs.
Gaillard's.
1t is surmised that these ladies in the
upper part Of the house, hearing the pistol
shct, rushed down to the office and found
the doctor and his victim.

thsy' Will noi DO

thedSelvsg eks attractions that will
bring increased population, thrift, pros
perity and wealth.
In some important localities, it
is true, railroads have slowly, but
very slowly, aided in increasing the
population and business. II was so
in Columbia, Greenville, spartanburg and
Charlotte. At all those points, however,
there were, in advance, great central end
educational attractions, which gave them
prominence; but for many years after rail-
roads were built TO them they stood stag
mated, and not until the introduction Of new
industries and liberal, determined spirit
of enterprise and progressiveness was
aroused among their citizens, did they
move forward and attain the prominent
positions :hey now occupy among the
fourishing, progressive business cities Of
the country; 1t is o peculiar fact that since
the new railroads have bsen built to those
cities there has been no increase in their ed
ucational enterprises, but rather decrease Q,
while many new industrial enterprises have
been established and are increasing yearly,
giving, wherever located, increased popu-
lation and business, and carrying with
them convincing proof to the citizens that IL
they would make their town prosperous
they must, each, according to his ability,
contribute Of their means, and persistently
advocate the estsbli shmsnt and support OF
new home industries, for the advancement
Of all interests in the community.
And 20 1t will be with Union, even with
tho anticipated increase of Railroad fa.
silities. Wo must do something within
aurauixes.if IL. 1sz: IT we remain idle, wait.
ing for the c. c. c. road to bring us thrift
business sud prosperity, our people may
rest assured that nothing will poiut out
where Union stands is on the line but way
station, while on either side of us will
quickly spring up new and fourishing towns,
with enterprising populations and varied
industries to attract from us large share of
the business we now have.
If the business men Of the town of Union
are anxious TO keep, ifnot increase, the busi-
ness they now have, they must do some
thing to prevent large part Of their trade
going to the one or two embryo towns lying
ON the c. c. C. road, that are even now as
suming considerable business proportions,
before the road passes US. We must not
forget that these towns will then be in =
position to compete with our merchants; !;
aud If they should be peoplsd by such men
as those who have made Gaffney City what
it is, we shall have more vacant stores than
we have now, and much less business.
Everything appears to be going on briskly
with us now, while we are sending out
wagon loads Of supplies daily, but in
month from now, when the merchants,
clerks and everybody else are lounging
about, waiting for q stray customer, we
will hear tho cry Of lamentation 70 up,
"no business doing" Union is . dead

one foot Of each had been put in the sand.
The measure Of each was carefully taken by
the Coroner, who also secured clots Of what
was supposed 10 be blood and sand. This
seems to point to the fact that DR.. Mellow
was accompanied by Q woman. Whether
she came in while the grave was being dug,
or afterwards. cannot be told.
While the examination was going on
about the office Tuesday night, search was
inatituted for Captain Dswson's hat, which
was missing. 1t not being found, Private
Gordon was sent to the Jail 70 request the
Doctor to send his hat, thinking probably
that no had put on Captain Dawson's. His
hat remained missing until yesterday, when
Lieutenant Heidi found il. It was at the
bottom Of the vault in the back ysrd. After
finding It Lieutenant Heidi rode over TO the
Jail and asked DR.. Mellow what he had
done with Captain Dawson's hat. He un-
hesitatingiy told the officer, and said that
it was thrown thore in the excitement oi
the hour.
The question had been asked thousspd
times on the street: Why did DR.. Mellow
| attempt to hide the body? and this ha.
the rest together. The explanation of thi,
is not hard to find. 1t is the natural i'm
pulse Of o man when reason is dsthroned
by q sudden shock. The Doctor declined
himself to make any statements in regart
to the matter.
