Pretty Fair World, After All!


With eyes of many colors, many hues,
We look at things and all get different
But when we meet, and view with view
compare,
Why, bless vour hearts, all thinks look
pretty fair. IA aan1
lnoeeo they do,
Despite what some declare;
Fer it is true
That things look pretty fair.
We speak in many tongues these latter
days,
And find more faults to blame than good
to praise;
But when the speech is done to the last
letter.
Each one admits this world is getting bet
ter.
Indeed they do, gE9
Despite what some declare;
For it is true
This woIlo is getting better.
Even the ones that wore the narrow face,
And said that we were heading for some
place,
Now hug thought, haunting, shadowy
shape,
Half fear. half hope, that we may yet
escape.
Indeed they do,
That by scratch and scrape
We might pull through,
And barely escape.
o! it is good to live these latter days
So good we just would like to live always
For we are getting better everywhere
And all around us things look pretty fair
Irdeed they do,
Despite what some declare;
For it is true
That things are pretty fair.

SURPRISING THE NE WS.

We plead guilty TO Suppressing the
news of the new cotton mill which is
mentioned by the Headlight, State and
Manufacturers Record of last week.
o. April 14th we wrote, while advocat-
in the +; liz oal from LockllaIt here as 4
fe ,der to the S)ulhern, 'that the Glenn
Springs ro ID wou!d be commenced this
summer AMI new cotton mill of at
least $4,000 spindles would be erected
along its line ( s. = = and doubling up

new mill on Buffalo and we will let her
out on Lockhart 10y stating that a corps
of engineers will ride over the route
from Crawford's, 3 miles below Union.
to Lockhart's today and if the rights of
way can be secured work will begin in
next thirty days on the railroad and the
ueW mill aU tlEl pace.
We hope the land owners along the
route, will give the necessary right of
way promptly, otherwise Jonesville will
secure the road, us the rights OF WAY have
been secured along that route. Under
the contract with the Southern the mill
people will have to secure the right of
way and grade the load. As the road
will open up that particular section Of
the country, with convenient stations for
the farmers to get to town or to the mill
with their produce, we hope the individ-
ual will rise above self and do good
deed TO his neighborhood by giving the
mill people the right to run through their
lands. 1t would be an act pro bono
publco, to say nothing OF the naturally
enhanced valuation of the land with
the addition of convenient railroad facil-
tiles. This is probably the only oppor-
tunity the people in the corner between
the s. L. Il &. r.. II. and the river
will ever have to get Il railroad for
should Lockhart Mills decide to build
to JoneSville or Orr'S instead of Cra gford
and Union there is nothing else to ever
cause another road to be built, for should
Neal Shoals be developed the natural
route for railroad will be Carlisle or
down the river to the G. G. e.. n. road.
Now is the time. Meet Pres. Carey half
way and you can get railroad and a
market value for your land The citi-
zens and land owners along the route
should come together and contribute
some assistance in work or money.
While the Union route will be shorter
than that to Jonesville there will be
several bridges to build which will cost
big money. In ten or fifteen years there
will be 100000 spindes buzzing at Lock
hart and it is worth a great effort and
some sacrifice to any community to get
in touch with such place.

HAPPENINGS ON THE 4TH.
Two Ladies Were Hurt. Another
Slightly Bruised.

There was fourth Of July celebra-
tion at Lockhart Tuesday and quite
number Of young ladies and gen.
tlemen from the Union mill attended
in vehicles. They spent very
pleasant day at Lockhart, enjoying
the festivities Of the occasion, and
started back on night ride home
ward. One Of the vehicles, surray
contained five persons, Miss Jessie
Jester, Miss Addie Pruitt, Miss Daisy
Barfield, Mr.. w. A. Jester and Mr..
l.. Woodruff. While descending the
hill approaching Little Browns Creek
the wheels ran into ditch on the
roadside partially upsetting the con-
veyance and dumping two of the
young ladies, Miss Jessie and Miss
Daisy in the ditch while Miss Pru-
tit jumped out on the opposite side
as also did the two men. Miss Bar
field escaped with only slight bruise,
while Miss Jester received hard fall
the shock Of which rendered her un-
conscious, in wich state she still re-
mains at her home on factory hill.
She seems to be suffering consider
able pain. Miss Pruitt in jumping
from the surray struck the wheel
which caused her to get hard fall.
She was slightly injured and severely
shocked. She is also confined to her
bed, due, the doctor thinks, to the
severe shock to the nervous system.
Both ladies were taken to a house
nearby until medical aid arrived.
They were brought home little later.
Both gentlemen escaped injury. 1t
is to be hoped that the young ladies
will soon recover from the shock.

PREPARE NOT TO WEEP.

"Capt. VIM. MCGOWAN has splendid
set OF young fellows in his company
here. There is pretty strong talk
among them about going to the Phil
ippines. If the stalwart captain
were to say the word and take the
lead there would be more than one
fair Spartan lady whose heart would
go to the Pacific islands. The
popularity about this company is
that, from the captain down, they
are all handsome bachelors"
The above is clipped from the Spar
tanburg correspondence to the State.
We are under impression that Capt.
McGowan had enough experience in
the late war to know that the society
OF the fair ladies Of Spartanburg and
Glenn Springs is preferable to service
in camp, though he may feel satisfied
he has their hearts with him. The
fair ones can rest casy-there is no
Philippine service for that company
II they follow their leader.

DIR. w. +. Branner, who has
recently resigned his position as San
itary Inspector of Havana, reports a
gloomy outlook for health in Cuba.
He says the figures that have been
published to show how healthy
Havana is as compared with former
years are misleading. lie says it is
fortunate for the Americans that Tie
rainy season is late this year, as the
fever is sure to come with the rain.
He is not at all pleased with The san
itary conditions Of Cuba after an
American occupation of many months.
He says that while it is loss, pecun-
iarily to give up the place, there are
other things beside money to consider
in this life.
The thanks of our citizens are due
the young men who were instrumental
in the organization Of the Union Ath-
lctic Club. They have afforded us
great deal of pleasure, recreation and
excitement by the games they have
so far pulled off in Union, and the
prospects are good for plenty moro
during the summer. We can now
realize what we have been missing
