A Singular Spectacle.

Tho following graphic description
Of tho present appearance of Bandai-
san is from the pen of a recent resident
of Shanghai: II have just returned
from visit to Bandaisan, tho scene Of
the great eruption, a marvellous one,
wonderful and amazing sight. 1t
looks just as if all the navvics of oil tho
world had been at work fora thousand
years. Palmer estimates that 700, 0O0-
900 tons Of stuff werc hurled into the
air and scattered broadcast over an
area eight miles by six, all in fivo
minutes timo or SO. Certainly Il

Correspondence OF Union Times.
By Telephone from Jonesville.

JoSEsvILLE, FEB. Ave had o gentle
rain last week, which did much good to
small grain, and put the ground in good
order for blowing The farmers are putting
in large quantity of Spring oats. wheak
aud oats sown in the Fall are looking wd
but the farmers are apprehensive OF
ure Of both on account Of the Hessian Flyk
as that pest is now appearing in formldable{
numbers. y.
Last week saw a LeConte Pear treo In
bloom in Jonesville. 1 fear that tree is o
little too early.
The people of Jonesville have been pretty
badly grippsd for the last two weeks with
the La Grippe, which is 50 prevalent in the
country. None, however, are seriously i'll
with it.
Mr.. J. N. Lemaster, who was accident.
ally wounded in the eye some time since, is
doing very well. The probability is now
that the eye-ball will be saved, but he will
lose the sight. While there eau be no blame
whatever attached to Mr.. Boyd, for it WAS
wholly cidental, he is very much grieved
at the occurrence. 1t was his first bird
hunt this winter.
There are several gentlemen contemplat-
ing building dwelling houses in Jonesville
this year, and casting their lot, tn u.s.
There are plenty of lots for sale in town
and on very reasonable terms.
Our high school, under the mana cement
Of Prof. Sarratt,s is moving on succe ssfully.
There are now within the corporatio o
Joncsville over two hundred pupils in the
white and colorcd schools.
The farmers Of this community are, l
think, in better shape for making crop
this year than any time since the war. A
great many of them at least arc able to pay
cash for their supplies.
Our public roads are in fnc condition,
and cur churches aud schools are also in
healthy and prosperous condition; then,
why should anyone, either white or colored,
60 West for better country. l think if
the farmers will follow Mr.. w. A. Wix's
plan of farming aud work up to his plan,
there will be no need Of seeking better
country than this.
Tho Presbyterians have commens a pre-
pairing lumber for building their chkch in
our town, and the colored MethodistS are
also building = church here. These two
will make five churches in Jonesvile.

The vocal selections were admirable,
evincng great taste anl talent, and they

The recitation of "Rcd Jacket" by Miss

The Shell Manifesto.

We publish in another column the able
and eminently sensible remarks Of the Cot
ton Plant upon the Shell Manifesto, or call of
the Farmers Association for q Farmers Con-
vention to nominate State ticket, and VIC
hope every member of the Farmers Alliance
will read it.
We could not have expressed our own
views upon the = pore satisfactorily to
ourselfI thsp = 3or of the recognized
cficialsrga ofsthe Alliance In this State
has; and it is pleasing to us TO feel that we
are in accord in this very important matter
with the leading sIhembers and trucst friends
Of the Alliance organization.
Politics is turbulent and dirty work at best,
and when allowed to enter iu,o tho religious,
social, charitable, trade or any other moral
or business circle or organization, we have
never seen it fail to become a disorganizing
element, disturbing the pcsce, creating fac
tions weakening the inhus nee and destroy
ing that unity of feeling ana action so very
essential for the efficient working and per-
petuity of every organizatipn founded upon
the great and noble princiPle of advancing
the moral and material welfare of society at
largee or any class of people.
While the Alliance cannot avoid being in

Homicide.

On last Monday afternoon Sheriff Long

tractor, was killed at that place by Robert
Norman.
Coroner Gregory, accompanied by Chief
Of Police May and DR.. Culp, went immedi-
ately to Fish Dam and held on inquest over
the dead body.
= Atseems that MooYman has been the tJns-
re for Schultz, q. oontraetorr ous the
%, Carolina and Northern Railroad
with headquarters at Fish Dam, and some
time ago they had disagreement about the
settlement Of accounts. From this arose n
lawsuit which was to have been tried the
Wednesday following the day Of the killing.
The parties in the meantime had some
considerable correspondence, and Schultz
had challenged Norman TO fight q duel,
and the meeting was to take place at May
binton, in Newberry County. The matter
seemed TO have rested here until Monday
lat, when Norman came up on the train
to Fish Dam from Columbia. The parties
met anu went OIL to have talk, when Il quar-
rel cnsued, and Norman shot Shultz. What
was the immediate cause of the shooting we
cannot say, for just at this point in the sad
