News and Comment That Is of More or Less
Local Interest.
| UNION-Times, October 5: We have
been informed from reliable source
that Mr. Jno. A. FAINT, president Of the
Monarch mills, received single sub
scription from a New York capitalist
for $25, 900 worth of stock, accompanied
with a check for s125O0 to pay so per
cent. Of the subscription. This Is an
evidence Of the confidence that the
monied men Of the north have in I'm
ion since she has awakened and got
move on herself. Northern capital Is
waiting for investment in Unions en-
terprises. They know a good thing
when they see it, and don't hesitate
| to push it along. We hear no more
the familiar sound Of the first Metho-
dist church bell, calling the congrega-
ton to the regular Sabbath services.
The ringing Of the church bell has
been dispensed with. 1t is said to be
more up-to-date. 1t will be a long
time before all the members will be-
come reconciled to the change. How
would it do to substitute the chimes
for the bell. That would be real toney.
..... We regret to learn that Mr.. M.
c.. Conner had the misfortune to have
his house and everything it contained
burned Wednesday Of last week. Mr..
Conner was formerly a resident Of the
Kelton neighborhood; but now Of Cher
okee, near Eta Jane.......An at home
was given Thursday evening at 5
o'clock by Mrs. T. G. Duncan in honor
Of Mrs. George Johnstone, Of Newber-
ry. The number of guests present was
about sixty. Mrs. Duncan had two
large and handsomely furnished rooms
thrown into one where the guests were
assembled and entertained, as only
Mrs. Duncan can entertain. In addi-
ton to the most delightful refresh
ments served, there were different
lamusements. The most noteworthy
was "a Literary Love Tale" The sto-
ry was printed in very neat book form,
the name of the heroine, where she
was born, the name of her lover, etc.,
being left blank for each guest to fill
in. The name or word supplied was
the title Of some book or poem by not
ed authors. The prize was beautiful
small souvenir spoon, with Union, S.
c." carved on the inside. The happy
winner was Mrs. DR.. M. T. Smith.
Mrs. Duncan Is royal entertainer and
all present had most delightful even
i-o Thnra In
practice at the graded school this ses-
sion, which is only a few weeks old,
that should be sat down upon by those
in authority, and that In no uncertain
manner. We have reference to the
practice of Initiating" the new schol-
ars, by humping them and >subjecting
them to other indignities. This will
certainly result in serious trouble If not
stopped. There came near being trouble
from this business last week. We hope
that there will be no more Of this kind
of thing in our schools. Mr.. G. Walt
Whitman was tried in the mayors
court Monday morning for drunk and
disorderly and carrying concealed
weapons. Mr.. Whitman claims that
all the policemen Of the town carry
their pistols concealed and thus violate
the law. He claimed that he was not
aware Of the fact that he had his pis-
tol on his person until the policeman
who arrested him found it.
