Much has been written in the papers about
Unions prospect in this line, but We don't
see any present prospects for having State
barroom here. There are 100 freehold
voters, and IL must take ffty-fve Of these
to have majority, and we understand Mr..
I. X. Palmer has only about twenty on his
petition.
Mr.. Jas. GRAFT has secured the contract
for putting In TIE founistion for the cstton

A pleasant eucbre party was given lost

The cotton aud corn crop was damaged
considerably blythe recent heavy rains. The
cotton had done but littlo then, but since
the rains both Of these crops have grown at
q surprising rate. Cotton looks we'll and
the corn crop is, reported very hnc 'll over
the county.
Tho ladies ot %. yillsgc Cemetery Society
have made many Improvements in the come
terry, clearing of the gras, grown places and
giving the graves Of the beloved dead the
attention they merit.
The Town Coupcil have levied an annual
dog tax. to 60 ipto effect the first day Of
August. Every person owning or keeping
dog in the corporate limits of the town is
required to pay an annual tax of Sl00, aud
the dog must wear collar and tax check,
the check being purchased from the Town
Clerk. II o dog is caught after first of
August on the streets without tax check
it shall be impoundcd for twenty flour hours
and advertised, hud if not called for Will
be killed, and when the dog can't be caught
it will be killed. This We think is o capital
law and one that should be enforced, for
there are a number Of worthless ours roam
ing the streets committing all sort of
depredations. Enforce your law, iii good
one.
The "locar' will explain to the "Senior"
why the election fsr town Treasurer was not
held at the aams time other officers are
elected by thc'TOHn Council. An act Great
ing town Treasurer to be elected by the
council was pessd about three years ago
and of course, went int effect about lst Of
January after its passage. After IL went
into effect the council under the law elected
Treasurer in February for one year, hence
the Treasurer holds office from February to
February Of each year. We think it would
be wise law to allow each council 10 elect,
when sworn in, all its subordiuates.
The first fire kindled under the brick
which is to compose the factory walls was
built on Monday morning at 1905 o'clock

Clemson College will open on the 9th OIL
July, and it is thought quite number Of
students will enter.
Rev. Mr.. C. A. b. Jennings went to
Clinton this week to deliver the address at the
closing Of the Presbyterian College of Souil
Carolina. The correspondent Of the Stat
has this to say Of Mr.. Jennings address:
"Rev. c. A. B.. Jennings, Of Union, the
alumni orator, addressed the students on
Education Of the past and its present
problems" He handled his subject in a
masterly way, ann showed that he had
studied it well. While MIR. Jennings ha.
been absent four years, yet the influence O.
a christian life, spent for the promotion o.
Christs kingdom and the bettertnent of his
fellow students has been handed down tc &c
ami we yet feel the effects Of that christian
influence"
