MAY MEAN SoaETHING.-lt is stated by a
gentleman who carefully notes the move
ments of freights in and out OF the city,
that since the matter Of the constitutisnality
Of the State dispcnsary law has been under
consideration in the Supreme Court, the
State has been receiving practically no ship
ments of liquors. This, if true, seems to
indicate that tho authorities feel uneasy
about the long delayed decision Of the court,
and in case the law is decided unconstitu-
tional do not intend 10 be found with stock
Of goods on band which could not be dis
posed Of IT is said that the dispensary is
only carrying enough liquor in stock to
keep the county dispensaries supplied, and
that the commissioner is very weary of
making heavy purchases-7he State
We believe it does mean something, and
when the decision of the Supreme Court is
made public the people will hear something
drop with henvy thud and feel the
curse upon them through the State treasury.
After The above was put in type the fol-
lowing plain coniY idictioG came to us in the
Columbia daily papers, consequently we
shall not be Likely to hear that "heavy ihud"
soon
In speaking OF The report that the dis
pensary had not been receiving large ship
men's of liquor since the Supreme Court mas
had the cons.itutiona'ity Of the dispensary
law under consideration, Liquor Commits
sioner TraXlsP said:
81 am not fearing that Supreme Cour;
decision and don't think Governor Tjllman
il ther. Ho certainly knows no more
about il than | do. Ii is n mistaken idea
that We are not buying much whiskry now.
AS matter OF fact | have ordered more
louor in the last four weeks and have more
en- route than have purchased in all the
other three months put together since tho
dispensary has been in operation. Only
few days ago sent certificates to the Mill
C. eek company for 600 barrels Of whiskey.
We have ordered, too, about 400 barrels Of

TmE LETTER "Q."-The letter q is super
huous character-a nondescript of tho
worst Sort aud Of no more real value in
expressing or helping to express our
thoughts in writing than one of the Chinese
word signs would be. 1t never ends an
English wori, and cannot begin one with
out the aid of the letter IL. being Invariably
followed by the last mentioned letter in all
words belonging to our language. The man
doesn't live that can tell "why' Of the PC
culiar relation of the letters and or why
the former was given its curious name.
Some argue that its name was applied be-
cause Of the tail or cue at the bottom OF the
letter, but the original q, when sounded
just o. it is toiay, was made without the
cue, the character much resembling the
English sign for pounds.

For the T,Ms:.
The Telephone.

To the Citizens of Union:
In tn S the beginning Of the telephone
era-for they will be used far more extern
sively hereafter than they have been in the
past, as the patents have all expired and
the phones are saleable-have the people of
Union ever thought how nice aud conve-
nient it would be to have q telephone ex-
change Office at Union of, say fifty sub
scribers at least, aud have that office cou-
nec;ed with central at Spartanburs, taking
in Jonesville, one phone there, one at Paco-
let and Pacolet Mills? To connect with
Spartanburg means n big thing there you
have connection with Greenvi!le where you
will find about two hundred subscribers,
and some out Of the city, PeIzer Mills, ETC.
Spartanburg has upwards of three hundred
phones there you get Woodruff, Reidville,
Wexford, Whitney Mills, Spartan Mills, d.
Z. Converse Mills, Paramount Mills, Beau
mont Mill, Clifton Mills, Pacolet Mills,
Cowpens and the Cowpeu Mfg Co, Gsffney
and the Gaffney Mill, and you c,n transfer
there and get Diehl's factory, you get Glenn
Springs, Cedar Springs, etc.
Have you friends ut these places? If 30.
call them up, chat with them, and enjoy the
pleasure and convenience when you once
become accusI oned to the telephone system.
Have you business transactions of few or
many words with any Of these places? Ring
them up and be convinced Of the success Of
tue phCne.
There arc now in use over 175, 900 phones
and since the patents are off the orders are
pouring in to the manufacturing companies
by the thousands.
Chester has just commenced an exchange
and it will be a success. Why not have one
at Union?
The cost TO subscribers would be thirty
dollars, which gives ten dollars stock and
twenty dollars for the phone. The lines are
put up by the ten dollars stock. An assess
ment Of one dollar per month would be
required for the central Office, aud rs the
number of subscribers increased the assess
ment would decrease.
