"People who handle the yardstick

coast survey.
"Bird, famous scientist, made the
first standard yard in 176O, but the

"Kno<ty" History.

Tying knots in a handkerchief to jog
ones memory had its origin in China
thousands of years ago. Before writing
was invented in that country. which
did not happen until 5000 B. c.. memo
rable and important events were record
ed by long knotted cords. The most an
cient history Of China is still preserved
as told by these knots.
When Emperor Tschang HI invented
writing. the entire system of knot
ting was abandoned. And today the
memory knots made by US in handker-
chiefs are the only surviving descend
ants of that ancient custom.

4 CaIabOOse to BE Built.

1t is with pleasure we chronicle the
fact that the city council has decided to
buiid calaboose and city hall in Union.
The BUILDING is to be erected on the
vacant lot east Of the court house. This
is something that has been needed in
Union long time. We have had no
where except the county jail to confine
persons for petit offences against city
ordinances, and it is frequently the case
that they have to be cooped up among
equity convics and criminals, this is 70
say lie least, shocking to the sensiblities
of those whose only crime was possibly
bolstronsness after imbbing too much
fire water. Then the question might
arise whether the city had the, right to
use the county prison for the conflne-
ment Of the violatOrs of its ordinances.
But we are glad to say that it will not
much longer be thus. Specifications
have been asked for and the work will
be commenced at an early date. We
have hustling COUNCIL at last, and il
seems they have set their heads to pull
Union right up into the frent ranks.

An Unfortunate Occurrence.

On Tuesday evening Mrs. Wm. \.
Nicholson, in company with her sister,
Mrs. James Allan, OF Charleston
after having taken tea with the family
OF Mr.. Emslie Nicholson, were return
ing home in their carriage. Arriving
ut the Baptist church, the driver
noticed that the Main street was
blocked and also Church street, with
shifting freight train, and his horse,
being of somewhat fractious dispo-
sition, he decided to go around to the
crossing above the dinner house, be-
lieving the engine to be on the other
end Of the train. After passing
around the oil mill, and just before
crossing the street leading from the
Culp house, the engine which was
really headed up the road and near
the water tank began making great
noise with it's putting and escaping
steam. This frightened the horse,
which began rearing and backing, and
becoming unmanageable it finally
backed the carriage into ditch where
the street is being Macadamized,
causing the carriage to Green in such
Il manner as to throw both ladies
violently from the vehicle to the
stones. Mrs. Nicholson received a
severe injury, receiving a fracture of
one Of the limbs below the knee, while
Mrs. Allan received several painful,
though not serious bruises.
While we think all this trouble
of the engines snorting and
pulling, and allowing steam to escape
from the cylinder cocks, while shift
ing on Main street and the constant
blocking Of our principal street cross
ings could best be remedied by the
removal of the freight depot out OF
the centre Of the town; still, if this
cannot be accomplished, we think it
would be wise for the council to pro-
hibit the making Of unnecessary noise
by these freight trains, which are
usually here ono or another from
morning till night. The wonder is
that it is not the cause Of more horses
running away and accidents resulting
than has been the case.
