FRANCHISE ASKED FOR MON
DAY-ENERGETIC MEN AT
THE HEAD OF THE EN-
TERPRISE - UNION
COMING ATA
GALLOP.
ABIG THING FOR UNION.

Spartanbnrg after years of struggling
with the question Of an electric street
car line has ut list succeeded in getting
one built. ana everyone seems to bs
highly pleased wiCh the trolly. Un;on
is to have orc also, she is not far Lehind
Spartauburg. We were aware week
ago that 4 movement was on foot for the
building of an electric car line but W.
were asked to hold the information untl
this week. The trol!y line is an asiutcl
fact and will be one of the greatest town
builders that has struck Union, to say
nothing of the convenience it would
afford those living some distance from
their business in town. 1t will atfo:d
means of pleasure to our citz.nS after
the business of the day is over to take Il
cool afternoon rds with their fdmiiirs
at Il very moderate expense. And the
whole town welcomes the news that we
are to have troliy CIR line.
Tie plan seems to be to run from
Buffalo to Monarch Mill going thrnnIl
Main street, and another track will be
laid on Montain street from M,in to the
Knitting Mill, track will probably b,
laid from there to the Union Malls fo'm-
ing belt line. The power for running
the cars will lie supplied by the electric
power plant at the Buffalo Mills.
a nice park will be- bailt at BIiI III.
This will lie very attractive t. the ci'l'
zens who wish to spend an afternoon out
where they can breath the fresh country
air. We imagine that it Will SON
become Il po2uliy resort.
The citizens will br aSfc,l to grant I
few re.t off their Land Oh each side OF
the proposed route So as to allow the
streets TO DE suili :jen'iy wilcned 10
admit OF the laying Of the track, giving
enough room on either side for vehicles
We trust the cornell will meet with i,n
way. The council has applet Tor a a
franchise, ami the electric line is not u
cost the town Il cent. This will b. Il
big thing for Union and will materially
enhanse the valu. of suburban prO2ert
of the town along the line. Nj. L. G..
Duncan IS at the head OF the enterprise
and that fact, Of itself, is suiii :i,'nt evi-
dence of its being rapidly pushed 70 IA
inish. Won't Union be in it though
with the street cars rushing along It's
sueets? Wen be in it, strictly in 1t.

There have been some hot times IN
New Orleans, La, duling the last week
a negro desperado, named Robert
Charles, in resisting arrest shot pe"p'e
down promiscuously from the house III
AN alley where he had taken refuge, attel
killing six white people he was tihallY
smoked out and his body riddled with
bullets. In the meantime the people he-
came so wrought up, that they began
killing negroes right and left. The po-
lice force and the military to the number
900 had to be called out to queil the
disturbance There were only CT
negrot s killed by the mob, after all.

AS TO THE SALARY.

Pursuant to our request last week that
the members from Union give us def
mite information regarding the salary of
the Supervisor of Union county. Sen
ator Douglass called and made the fol-
lowing statement:
"The bill referred to was Il coaniy
government bill from the House, intro
duced by Representative Sharp, of Lex
in gton county,"
When it came to the Senate it was
amended by Senator Douglass, of Union
county to read as follows
"That the Board of Commissioners of
Union county shall consist Of a super
visor and two commissioners, whose
salary shall be $3.50 each per annum,
An they shall each give bond in the
sum of $4,000, said bond to I've approved
by the county Treasurer and county
Auditor" AS it was House bill it of
course had to 60 back TO the House for
final action. If u amendment had not
been accepted, it would have been so
reported back to the Senate, rs the bill
never came Lack to the Senate, Senator
Douglass says he took. it for granted
that 1t had passed with the IIoue con
curing in the amendment. He says if
there Mas any charges made after it went
back to the House he was not aware Of
it.
He says that the omission in the
published Acts must have beep an over
sight, but that as the Act reads, lie
thinks our position is the correct one,
and that the Supervisors salary remains
5000. The Senator says hc could not
get rid of the office of Supervisor uEder
the Constitution, and his idea was To
have the Supervisor and the two Com
missioners to bear equally the RESPONSE
bilities and to each receive the same SAL
ary. 1t seems the bond also has y, EN-
changed from $4,000 to l,00O.

In speaking of our interview with Mr.

we got mixed as to Nj. Greer's home.
1t says:
''Ihe Times spoke Of Mr.. Greer as
from Union, whereas hr was from Cnts-
ter, having gone to Union ONLY few
yeaIs ago"
Come off the roost lrother, Mr. Gil
mer g. Greer was born and reared in
Union county, and if we mistake not
wes born in the house that he still cccu-
pies. The statement that it was Nc
Gowan who was killed at Frelel icks-
was an error of course that escaped us
in reading proof.

to that class of leaf dealers who go from
farm to farm and. buy leaf tobacco, and
subsequently receive it at private and
public warehouses and resell it either in
their own names Or in the names OF the
farmers for whom they sell the tobacco.
In every instance the person buying the
tobacco from the farmer is required to
make return and pay special tax as a
dealer in leaf tobacco for each place
where he receives and at which he sub
sequentlY sells the same.

price, which shows that the filler stock
of the factories needs replenishing. The
price for the BIS is steadily creeping up
to Is cents.
The activity in Sumatra was but mod
crate during the week. The sales of the
new crop have been so large already that
a short respite is being taken. But the
'99 Florida had lively week, one house
selling out all the stock it had.
The Havana market was enlivened by
some transactions of the new crop,
which was at last relieved from the
bondage af the Appraisers Department.
The freshness and pliability of the leaf
subjected it to a greater percentage of
the wrapper duty than it would have
paid had it been dried out and crumpled
up now by age. But the goods were
nevertheless taken as they are in great
demand. Neither is the old stock neg
lected and it is bringing good prices.

New YORK Sept. %, 1900.
The market continues to be brisk.
Transactions take place in all types
which have been sampled. The demand
for light wrappers still exceeds the sup
ply, but the dark grades are being taken
too, because of the scarcity of seed wrap
per leaf. During the last fiscal year
there were about three thousand five
hundred million cigars, besides six hun
dred million little cigars covered with
domestic leaf, and if the same quantity
is to be wrapped again with seed leaf
the manufacturers will have to hustle
rather lively to lay in their supply. In
fact, they will not get it. At least a
thousand million more cigars will have
to be wrapped during the current fiscal
year with other than seed leaf The
sales of New England leaf for the week
amounted to about 800 boxes.

LANCASTER NEW ERA. Sept. Is, 1900.


The home market, the packers inform
us, was very dull during the week, but
when the totals are summed up it will
appear that things were not SO bad as
they might have been. There has been
much inquiry during the week, but it
has been largely for classes of goods that
are not on hand and consequently not
large amount of trade is done. We have
been selling off the accumulations and
remains or stocks of former years and
there is but little else than 1899 goods on
hand. for which there is neither an i'm
mediate nor an active demand. The
sales that have been brought to our no.
tice were 200 cases sold by G. H. We'll
chans & Co., 80 cases sold by Walter S.
Bare, and $50 sold by Smith & Sond-
heimer and 500 cases bought by the
same firm; making total of 900 cases.
For the corresponding week of last year
the sales were 2,452 cases.

This week sees the harvest practically
completed of an unusually large and
heavy crop of tobacco. Reports from
the surrounding country indicate that
the leaf is curing nicely, rust, however,
showing on the plants harvested during
the wet spell. Prices bid fair to be good
except as on such crops as are materially
affected by the rust. Buyers are around
inspecting theleaf but no sales have been
reported.-Hub.

On account of the Indifferent condi-

the hunt for the 1899 in farmers hands

vance in prices, reports of 10 having

F. M. Butler is riding with out-of- town
buyers and we understand some pur-
chases have resulted The storm of last
week did more damage than was at first
supposed. Outstanding fields of tobacco
were badly damaged in some sections,
while in others there was but little in
jury noted. Some wind whipped tobacco
has been sold unharvested at three cents
per pound. Yet the impression must
not go abroad that our entire crop is in.
jured, as this would be great injustice.
Most of the crop was housed before the
wind and not all the outstanding was
seriously hurt. A small percentage of
loss has been sustained. Gazette.

New YORK, Sept. 10, 1900.

With the departure of many out-of-
town buyers at the close of last week,
business slackened somewhat, and just
now the market is less active than it has
been thus far this month. The falling
off is far from slump, however, and
week like the present one would have
been considered boom six months ago.
Big Flats, Connecticut Broad leaf and
Connecticut Havana Seed seconds are in
good demand and are selling quite readi-
ly. The new Pennsylvania Broad leaf
BIS seem to have impressed the trade
favorably, and indeed the Pennsylvania
crop appears to be great success. One
packer, who has handled the goods for
twenty-five years, says that in all his ex-
perience he has never seen a crop more
carefully packed, of finer quality, or more
suitable for working up at such an early
stage.
Wisconsin Havana Seed is still some
what backward in making it's appearance
in the market, many packers preferring
to wait until the tobacco is thoroughly
dried off before they sample it,
Reports from all of the growing crops,
with the exception of Ohio, are favorable.
Havana.-A little relaxation at the
Appraisers Stores had an immediate eff
feet on the Havana market, and this
week a good volume of business was
transacted. One lot of over 200 bales
was held up for four weeks, and only
four of the lot were classified as percent
age bales, the others being finally passed
as filters. The whole invoice was sold
within twenty-four hours after hquida
ton. The increased activity is quite
general, nearly every importer reporting
good weeks business. Considerable
tobacco has also been sold by New York
houses in Havana city.
Sumatra.-A fair degree of activity
rules in the market this week, and the,
sales aggregate a very satisfactory
amount. The only obstacle in the way
of a successful years business is the
scarcity of tobacco which can be sold at,
a medium price, this being the grade
which can be handled to the best advan-
tage by the importer. The lower grade
tobaccos, of which the proportion is large
this year, are not usually looked upon as
the money makers of the crop; and the
high-class goods were bought at SO high
a figure that large profits are out of the
question. AS to the general demand and
supply, the assurance that there will be
no overstocking is undisputed. The fact
that Is, 500 bales were offered at Fridays
inscription, of which only 1,2OO were
taken by Americans, indicates that there
is but small amount yet to come which
will be suitable for our trade. There are
now only four more Sumatra Inscriptions
on the schedule, the next being at Rotter-
dam on the 9th, and the three others at
Amsterdam on October 5, October 10
and November 2, respectively

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN. WIS, Sept. %, 1900.


The movement in the new crop is ex-
tending; trading that up to a week ago
was confined to the Vernon county sec
tion is now pretty generally spread over
the entire state. A good deal of riding
is being done out of this market the
past week and in some instances rather
rapid buying has taken place. It is
quite probable that something like a
thousand acres have been contracted for
by the dozen or more buyers already on
the road. The prices that are offered
look rather attractive and most growers
seem willing to accept the going figures.
The dickering is largely done on the
percentage to be allowed at filler prices.

There is considerable inquiry after old
stocks but mostly of class of goods the
local markets have but little of. Child

300cs of old leaf from local packers at

GAINESVILLE, WIS, Sept. q, 1900.

Now that the crop of 1900 has been
safely housed, the farmers have turned
to the rapid sales of the 90 being made
in Vernon and Crawford counties at
good prices. AS near. as we CAM learn
only one GAINESVILLE firm has entered the
northern fields, Soverhill & Porter, and
they have purchased only few crops at
prevailing prices. Robt. L. Erler and
Fisher & Fisher have been riding in this
county and have picked up few crops
of 90 but the prices paid are secret.
The hanging tobacco is curing out
nicely, showing fine colors and texture
In old leaf there is strong inquiry for
samples of the '99 and a good business
is looked for later on. John Soulmon &
Co. have closed out their entire packing
of '99, consisting of 467 cases, to John Fl.
Meyer & Son, of Chicago.
