The Good Roads Train.

The county Supervisor, Mr.. T.. J.
Betenbaugb. circulated ii p t tiOn among
the business men of Union last Monday
asking the management of the Southern
rail road to have the good roads train
and force stop in Uuion and build us a
portion of road and enlighten us upon
this important subject of good roads.
The petition was signed by number of
substantial citizens p ossibly all to whom
it was present. Our people are very an
xious to see an improvement in the con-
dition of our public roads, and will gladly
welcome this good roads train to Union.
Trusting that it may be the means of be-
ginning a work that will eventually give
us good roads from every section of the
country into town, good roads leading
into town is a great encentive to bring
trade to that town. The petition and
signatures were telegraphed in to head
quarters according tn a suggestion of our
Cnngrpssm an Joe johnson. And we
hope that the company can be induced
to bring the force to Union. 1t is pro-
posed tn have mile of road built, one
half in the incorporate limits of the
town.

A Sad Accident,

While Mr.. Robert Wilburn, of
Cross X ys, was c'ming 70 town
Tuesday morning with a wagon Load
of cotton seed, his -'eam became
frightened by some OF the harness
becoming loose aud allowing the
wagon to- run up on them, as they
were descending the hill this side of
the Ma"beth place. They ran down
the hill throwing young Wilburn out
aud breaking his left leg between
knee and ankle. The team ran the
wagon into Mr.. X. @. Whitmire's
wagon and smashed one of its wheels.
Mr.. Wiiburn's wagon was not in
jured. The boy was taken back to
the home of Mr.. Arthur Willard by
Mr.. A. j. Estes and DR.. Y. l.. Poole
was sent for. The boy was suffering
intense pain when Mr.. Estes left
him. There was no other injury ex-
cept the broken leg. We hope, he
will soon recover from his injury and
that no serious results will follow.

The Times Girls ~ ". ~ In. -

Our girls, that is the young ladies who
we're successful in. THE TINES coupon
contest, called in to see us Saturday as
per arrangement, and we discussed the
itinerary of the tip to the Fair. 1t was
finally decided to 60 on Thursday instead
of "Wednesday as one of the young ladies
had an important engagement for We'd
nesday which could not be postponed,
and rather than have one of our num-
Der missing all agreed to make it Thurs
day. Miss Stella Hobsun, of Santuc,
and Miss Annie Lee, of Bogansville,
sent their regrets at not being able to
meet us Saturday on account of other
engagements but assured us that what
ever we agreed upon would be agreeable
to them. Having perfected our plans
the Editor suggested that we enjoy trip
together before going to Columbia and
offered 10 take the girls out to Buffalo on
the train. They readily assented with
the exception of Miss Matte Prince, who
regretted that she could not accompany
us on account of having to return home.
The party, consisting of Misses Lula
Gault. Edna Davis, Eolene Lee, Maggie
White, Gertrude Mathis, Mr.. Gault, Mr..
White and the Editor, left for Bnffal,
on the 4 p. m. train. At Buffalo We
found Mr.. Ike McKissick who kindly
consented to pilot us through the tunnels
we entered at the power house and went
Through coming out at the fan room.
We then assended the bell tower and
back through the different floors of tie
big mill and inspected the machinery
being put in. This being the first time
some of the girls had been to Buffalo
they enj 'yed the trip very much. We
returned to town at 6 O'Clock and sepa-
rated to meet again at THE TINES office
at O'Clock Thursday morning, then
take the train together for the FAIR. The
evening was very p,easautly spent and
We are only sorry the other glrs were
unable to be with the party.

We Must Have q Park.

Extend the sidewalk on line with Mr..
Whitmau's corner down to the Dunbar
properly. This will widen the street to
something like 165 feet, then lay out
park 100 feet wide in the center of the
street extending from in front of court
house square to the Dunbar property,
lay off a 32 foot street on either side of

Rapidly Recovering Health.

1t gives US pleasure to announce
that Mrs. Y. s. Bobo's condition has
very much improved, and the doctor
says with rest and quiet she will soon
be enjoying her usual health. She is
perfectly rational, her constant vigil
at the bedside of her husband and
the great mental strain and loss of
sleep caused temporary alteration
of her mind. We trust that Mr..
Bobo will soon regain his former good
health, and that these good people
may be spared many more years Of
happiness together.

about the country short time, were
driven into Baton Rouge and corralled.
Three men were badly hurt. The
wreck was caused by the front section

What is probably the most
important economic movement of the
century, the rise and growth of indus
trial combinations called trusts, has
been reviewed by James B. Dill, the
noted corporation lawyer OF this city,
who probably knows as much about
them as any other man living. He
draws the line clearly between the
advantages. on the one hand, which
great industrial combinations, when
properly controlled, have already con-
ferred and will continue TO confer upon
the laborer, the mechanic, the ex-
porter, the consumer and the manu-
facturer, and those evils, on the other
hand, which follow the formation of
trusts when the promoter and the
hnancier are permitted to use them
for merely selfish purposes. Mr.. Dill
thinks this new phase of commerce
has come TO stay. He believes Ma
tional control OF trusts will supersede
State control, and does not hesitate to
predict that the time will come when
preferred industrial stocks in good
companies will sell at prices comparing
favorably with the quotations for rail
road and other standard securities

New-York tribune., 1901-01-06

The history of the stage in
America for the century just ended is
commented upon by William Winter,
widely acknowledged to be the most
able dramatic critic of the day. He
begins by referring to those early
times when actors salaries were small
and the surroundings of the theatre
cheap, but when the standard OF taste
in intellectual matters was high and
the audiences generally fastidious. He
closes by deploring the power OF GER
tain commercial influences which, al
though generous in expenditure and
lavish in the way of material embel-
lishment for the play, threaten TO ruin
the stage in America by making its
tone vulgar and common.
Some of the more conspicuous
features of social development have
been lightly touched upon by Hart
Lyman, one of the most graceful
among Newly ork writers of the Eng
lish language. He finds that in the
matter of healthful conditions of exist
ence the contrast between the present
and the not remote past is simply
stupendous.

THE Madison News, it seems to us.
is laboring under a wrong impression
as to the printing of tickets for the
election next week. We think the
law. rs made applicablefOr this occa-
sion, is, that where any political
party has regularly nominated can
didates for any Office-COnstitutional
delegate, supervisor, constable, or
any district office-the only ballot
used at the election will be- the official
one, provided by the electoral board
of the county. Upon this official bal
lot will be printed the names OF all
candidates who certified their names
to the county clerk on or before May
Bird. Ii a candidate is running, and
has failed to certify his name as men
toned, it will be necessary to have
written his name upon the Official
ballot by each voter who desires to
vote for him. No private tickets can
be used, except in cases where no
regular party nomination was made
in the courtyard this we doubt
very much is the case anywhere in
the State. This is highly important
matter, and wefeel confident that our
explanation is a correct one.

sower. 1t was withal patriotic dis

other points in his argument was
tribute to thefair Southland, echoing
sentiments that have touched re-
sponsive chord in the breasts of our
Southern papers much of late. In his
application the divine likened the

such evangelizing for the cause OF
Christianity been carried on, and,
possibly, nowhere in the South is 1t

Old Dominion east of the Appalachian

WHILE the majority of thepeople OF
the South differ with President Me
Kinley politically they have great
respect for him personally, and they
are ready toe do him honor, as is being
evidenced by his Southern trip. The
President is showing himselffelicitOus
and graceful of speech. Some OF his
speeches, though brief and i'm
promptu, are models OF excellence and
manifestations OF good taste, con-
servatism and mature Judgment.
The cordial reception he is receiving
is an evidence of his personal popu-
larity, and it is apparent that the
crowds which thrOng to see and hear
him are not drawn thither by mere
curiosity. President Mckinley pos
sesses a fair measure of personal mag
netism; he is a Christian gentleman,
and manifests a deep interest in the
future of our country. 1t is safe to
assert that he is held in high esteem
by the Southern people, and that his
trip will result in greater good than
mere idle pleasure.
