"A meeting of the citizens was held in
the Court House in Union last Friday,
the purpose of which meeting was to re-
organize the famous Union Base Ball
Association.
The organization was perfected by the
election of the following officers:
President, Macbeth Young Manager,
5. Means Beatty; Sec'y. and Treas'r.,
J. B. Richards.
Two committees were appointed the
first, consisting of the above named Off
GERS, is committee to solicit subscrip-
tions of cash to the organization. 1t is
purpOsed to raise from $3.50 TO $1,000
to put the Association on good footing.
The second committee, composed of
Messrs. w. w. Hughes, w. II. SartoI
and DIR. F. g. Duke, were instructed to
select desirable location for the build
ing of the base ball park.
Both Committees have gone dilligent-
ly to work, and the soliciting committee
are meeting with encouragement. The
park committe have taken look at
several places that have been offered for
the park and seem to favor tie
ground in rear of the Hill House as the
most desirable for the purpose. When
it is remembered with what phenominal
success this Association met last year,
the initial venture of this town in a
regularly organized base ball tam, it
will not be surprising if all eyes are
turned on Union this year, with great
anticipations of the production of a
regular cracker-jack team from the
jump.
Unions team last year was one Of the
hardest in the South to handle and was
the means of a valuable advertising of
our little city, and the managers say
they are going to have team this set
Son that will even excel that of last
year. They are already in communica-
ton with a number of noted p,ayers.
among whom are the very best players
we had last year, Davy Crockett,
Jimmy Matthews and Bob Burnett. The
very cream of the players will be chosen,
and when they get in working harness
look for squalls for some over-conli lent
team, who has the temcrity to face them.
We hope the financial committee will
meet with success even beyond their
expectations, should she succeed in Sc
curing the team desired, Union could
not we'll do anything that would more
thoroughly advertise the town, an thsre
will be lots of fun in store for her citi
zens. We hope that a large number of
the games will be pulled of in Union.

The Evening Newspaper.

The Southern Home journal, of Mem
phis, has the following excellent
editorial reference to the evening news
paper:
"In the evolution of the latter day
newspaper the evening journal has come
to the front and is there to stay.
Its scope has been constantly enlarg-
ing. 1t has enlisted capital and brains
in it's production until 1t is now in a
position to compete with its morning
contemporaries on terms of equality
in some instances at decided advant-
age. Its news service, Geographic and
local. is no longer fragmentary, but
complete up to the moment of gong to
press. Its reports are fresh. 1t pull
safes with the vigor OF life of the day of
issue. Events occurring in any quarter
of the globe are promptly reported
in it's columns 1t is the chronicle of
the living present, the mirror in which
the world is reflected between daybreak
and the close of business in the after
noon. By the time it goes to its readers
the activities of the day are tagging and
people are making ready to turn down
the leaf on which the days history is re-
corded. This done, they take their
evening paper, damp from the press, and
in their offices, or more often in the rest
full quiet of home, read it at their leis-
ure
There is in this case no hurried skim
ming of headlines between glances at
the clock and the boiling of mouthfuls
of food, as is the case of the morning
paper at breakfast me. Every part OF
it is read-the multitudinous happen
ings in our own vast country ana else
where, the market reports, society notes,
the doings of Congress, the morning S
battle in the Philippines or South
Africa-all are noted in order and at
ease.
Small wonder, then, that the even
ing paper has become so popular and
prosperous thatit requires high poWet
presses, type setting machines and all
other late appliances to serve its turn
Small wonder that it is a favorite
even a necessity, to ali classes and con
ditlons of people,"

KILLED HIMSELF.
Body of White Man by the Name
of Lister
Found on the Mt, Pleasant Pixie, Near
Little Bigby Creek-ChIOrofOrm the
Cause.

The body of white man by the name of
Lister was found Friday morning on the
side of the Mt Pleasant pike, near Lit
tie Bigby creek, in an unconscious and
dying condition The man lived a few
minutes after his body was discovered,
but did not speak.
When found, he was lying on his
back few feet from the creek. An
empty chloroform bottle lying by his
side told the cause of his death. He
doubtless took his own life, but left
nothing giving an explanation of his
act.
Lister came to Columbia from Chi
cago about year ago to put up the ma
chinery of j. P. Hood & Sons bottling
works. After working for Mr.. Hood for
short time he went to work at G.. j.
Kebar's bottling works, on Tenth
street, where he has been since. He
had a wife and three children, who live
on South High street near Ninth. Sew
eral days ago Lister got on a spree and
was put in Jail, and it is supposed that
he worried over this until he decided to
end his life.
The remains were brought 10 town
and carried to the undertaking estab-
lisment of West & Nichols, to await
interment. No inquest was held.

From Fridays DAILY HrRAL>.I

From Fridays DAILY HERALD
A HERALD reporter called upon DR..
Mcintosh, the marine surgeon, at the
Bethel House this morning, for the pur-
pose of ascertaining the result of his
visit to Mt. Pleasant yesterday, and TO
gather any additional facts concerning
the smallpox situation that might be OF
interest to the public.
The Doctor met the reporter very cor
daily, and complimented him upon the
correctness of the report OF the interview
the day before. He said the report was
correct in every particular, and he APP
proved the HERALD's policy of report
ing the facts in a conservative rather
than an exaggerated or sensational way.
He thought the people ought to know
the facts, but that the situation should
be handled with as little excitement as
possible.
He said he had not thought it neces-
sary to go into all the details, as he had
come here not to ascertain how many
cases there were. but to determine the
fact whether or not the disease was
smallpox. AS matter of fact, in adj
dition to the four serious cases reported
yesterday, one of whom died last night,
he had seen twelve CAS- of milder
type, and eight convalescent, and there
were still other suspected cases he had
not had time to go to see.
Referring to his trip to Mt. Pleasant
yesterday, he said he had found eight
well developed cases in the pest house
near there, one of which was of dan
gerous type.
DIR. Mcintosh left this morning for
Pulaski, to examine into the situation
there. He is cordial, affable gentle
man and seems DESTROYS of doing his
full duty in plain, straightforward
way, without any flourish of trumpets
or undue excitement.
One Death Occurs.
One of the negroes reported yesterday
by DR.. Mcintosh to be suffering with a
malignant case of smallpox. died last
night at his home in Macedonia. The
name of the negro could not be learned.
Suspiciontd Case.
County Health Officer VOORHEES, was
called out to Southport this morning to
see Mark Watson, son of William Wat
son, who, it is suspected, has smallpox.
About two weeks ago the young man
was with DIR. Blackburn, of Lynnvilie,
who, we are informed, developed the
disease day or two afterward. The
young man was taken i'll few days ago
with some sort of an eruptive disease.

1t is certainly gratifying to the public
to know of one concern in the land who

Carmack Alone.

Since Mr.. McMillin has seen proper to
Indicate his intention of not running for
the United States Senatorship, Hon Ed
w. Carmack towers up 50 high in com
parison to his opponent, Snodgrass, that
he appears almost alone in the race. 1t
is right that it is thus, and the State is
to be congratulated upon such flattering
prospects of being represented in the
United States Senate by man of Mr..
Carmack's ability and all-round fitness
as a lawmaker and Statesman. Carmack
while yet in his youth, comparatively
speaking, has won a national reputation,
and he is deserving of every honor he
enjoys. While he has in a business
like way asked the people of Tennessee
for this place of honor and trust, his
case is also one in which the Office is
seeking the man; and this double force
will win for him victory far brighter
than his most slnguine expectation
could picture. -Lawisburg Tri bune.

Prominent Physicians Introduced in the

CHATTANOOGA Jan. 9.-In the
Julia Morrison trial at this place to
day, the defense introduced several
prominent physicians of this city on
the question of the mental responsi
bility of the defendant at the mo-
ment she shot Leidenheimer. Their
opinion, based on the evidence of
eye-witDesses, tends to corroborate
the theory OF temporary insanity
URGED by the def, nae.
The State will offer considerably
evidence in rebuttal as to the main
points raised by witnesses for the de,
tense, and it is understood a number
of physicians W ill testify. as experts,
that there was no reason why the
defendant should not have been in
her right mind. 1t is expected the
arguments will begin to morrow af
ternOOn, and verdict may be
reached Wednesday. The defense
is relying on two pleas-justifica-
ton aud temporary insanity.

OUR TIMBER RESOU RCES.
The South Is Virtual y in Control of the
Timber Situate on.

At the present rate of consump ton
the timber of the U. S. available for
building purposes will be practically ex-
hausted within the next 20 years.
Already the greater part of the good
timber of the North has been consumed.
The South has more than 80 per cent.
of the remaining supply, and is vir-
tually in control of the timber situation
if her people shall realize their advant-
ages. The woodworking establish
ments Of the North are being forced to
move nearer the sources of supplies.
The exodus of lumber industries from
the states of the North to this section
is already very considerable, and is
destined to become more and more eX-
tensive. 1t is just as inevitable as the
movements of the cotton mills to the
cotton fields. In fact it is more neces-
sary to move the woodworking plants
to the timber than it is the cotton
manufactures to the raw material, be-
cause the question of freight cuts a
more material figure IN the former than
the latter case. 1t is for this reason
that the handle and wagon supply mills,
the stave mills, the heading and box
factories ard the furniture manufacto-
ries are being moved from Indiana to
the towns of West Virginia, tennessee
and Kentucky. The freight charges
saved in getting rid of the useless otfal
before placing their product on the cars,
make it impossible for their competi-
tors in the North and East to cope with
them in many markets, especially 50 far
as the Southern trade is concerned.
The people of this and adjoining
counties recklessly burnt up millions of
dollars worth of good timber in years
past, but they still have a vast deal of
valuable hard wood left standing, which
is growing more and more valuable
every day. 1t ought not to be shipped
away from here in crude form, but
should be manufactured right here.
Let it go through the dry kiln, the
planning mill, the furniture factory and
other mills converting it into articles
ready for the consumer, and it will leave
in the home circulation from two to ter
times as much money as if it were ship
ped in the shape of saw-logs or rough
lumber.
