Teachers Election,

AT meeting of the toavd of trustees
OF the Union Graded 'chool, this " eek, ,
all the old teachers were elected with
the exception Of Prof. III. l.. Scaife,
who did not put in an application. Two
new teachers were elected. Mr.. Arthur
l-owrey, of Lowell, n. c., was elected
as assistant in Mr.. Scaife's stead and
Miss Carrie Southland, of Jonesville, was
elected an additional teacher in School
No. /. The Graded schools of Union
are in very ilourishiug condition, and
while vaccination has caused an unusual
number of absentees, the average attend
ance has been good and the school roll
larger than ever before. Harmony has
prevailed in every department during
the session and the excellent reputation
that the teachers and their competent
Superintendent hive established for the
Union Graded Schools will be fully sus-
tanned in the future 1t has required all
the room in the extra addition to the
School building to accommo late the
rapidly growing list of pupils. The
State SHp't of Education speaks in Il 1t
terng terms of the Union Graded
Schools and VIC think the compliment is
well deserved.

Cruelty to animals.

We were astonshed few days ago to
see party attempting to "break" an
.unruly horse on main street by hitching
it to q couple of wagon wheels The
horse refused to pull, rearing and plung-
ing about over the street and Pavement
in manner dangerous to pedestrians
and calculated to cause a runaway Of
any other team that might be passing.
The horse was whipped numerically by
its owner and others sometimes two of
them whipping at once. The horse fel
several times only to be whipped up to
its feet again. This persecution was
kept up for an hour or more, attracting
such crowd as to block the sidewalk.
A protest was finally made against the
harsh treatment ard the animal was
ridden of. There is law for the pre-
wention of cruelty 10 animals and an ex-
ample should he made OF any one who
wilfully violates the law on the main
thoroughfare Of the town. 1t is, of
course, very provoking to have a balky
horse to contend with, but that does not
Justify cruel treatment of the animal.

We Need q Rock Cr: sher.

Mr.. Welles, of Columbia, representing
the Steel Champion road machine, was
in Union this week endeavoring to sell
this county rock crushing machine, for
the purpose of building better roads in
this county. We don't know what the
price Of the machines are but unless they
are ont of reason in price we think it
would be COOL investment. If it is costly
to make permanent roads at the start, il
will pay handsomely in the long run.
Mr.. Wells firm has sold machines to
l.aurens, Sumter and Marion, and Alb
beville has bought rock crushAr. We
ought to have oae if the town and county
had to join in its purchase. We have
no doubt many of our farmers would be
wiliGg to haul rock TO the roadside from
their farms to get the pubic road near
them pat in lirst.cliss shape.

Gross CareIesSneSS.

On Wednesday a negro by the
name of Spencer Rice was burning
some brush or logs and carelessly let
the fire get out in the woods, and
caused big forest fire, burning the
large timber land some 200 acres be-
tween Mr.. NJ. B. Lees and Mr..
Dave Gist's places. The fire gained
such terrible headway that the flames
were seen to leap 400 to 500 yards
and take new hold. Mr.. Lee and
his entire family had the hardest
kind of work to save his fencing, by
raking and firing against the coming
fire. The dozens Of dead trees
through the woods burning from
bottom to top presented a beautiful
sight Wednesday night, and the fall>
ing trees reminded one of booming
cannon. The negro remarked "he
was glad it had got out as it
burned up the snakes, regardless of
the woods ruined, as the sap is up,
and the danger of burning up other
peoples property. lie ought to be
taught lesson, that would make him
more careful.

Run From the Court House.

Mr.. G. w. Whitman says he is in
the race and will run from the corner
at Court House square. lie says he
don't say he will be the next Governor,
but that the great majority Of the
people are in sympathy with the
principles for which he is fighting and
that he is willing to be Governor if
necessary to carry out the principles.
lie says these principles will win the
day eventually, as sure as the sun
shines, lie says he don't purpose
letting up on this useless expenditure
ofpublic funds for higher education,
to the dctriment OF the common
schools, as long as his head is hot.
And that as he is not able to can
vass the State he will run from the

We Need Rain.

Rain is very much needed now by
our farmers, the ground is becoming
parched and hard causing some of
the cotton to die, some Of our farmers
have their cotton plowed and chopped
out. Wheat and oats although need
ing rain are looking very well. The
potato bug has put in it's appearance
and is doing considerable damage.
Most people have very good gardens,
and the fruit crop generally this year
is fine. We are going to have plenty
OF fruit this year unless something
slips.
