TIE BIG UNION MEETING.

Much interest exists throughout
the State in the big political meeting
to be held in Union. Senator Till
man aod Senator McLaurin have
both been invited. The former has
accepted and will be present. SEN
ator McLaurin, so far as has been
known here, has not said he would
be present. The probabilities are
that he will be among the speakers
and Tillman and himself may have
it all over again. The people Of
Union county will have politics to
burn on the day Of the speaking.
Besides the "star" attractions, the
two senators, the following we'll
known men have accepted invitations
to be present: Col. Willie Jones, Of
Columbia; Ex-Governor John Gary
Evans, Of Spartanburg; ex-Congress-
man Stanyarne Wilson, Of Spartan
burg; Congressman Latimer, Mr.. J.
A. Mooney, Of Greenville, and others.
Columbia correspondence News and
Courier.
Our thriving neighbor, Union, is
to have public speaking on August
Sth and 9th, to which quite number
of leading South Carolinians have
signified their intention to be present.
The object of such u meeting is
that public expression from men
prominent in political life may be
heard by persons interested in such
matters. No personalities are to be
INDUCED in and nothing but facts
and figures are desired.
The results to be attained from
such Il meeting go far toward educa.
ting the people on the issues of the
day.

pect to attcnd.-Spartanburg Herald.
If any considerable number Of the
men who have been invited to speak
at Union the Sth aud 9th of August
should be present there would be
needed five or six days instead Of tw"
to enable all to have any sort OF II
hearing Already eight have accept
ed, three have declined and nine more
are to he heard from. Union ought
to give whole week to the occasion
and call it Enlightenment Week. -

The State Democrat executive com
mittee met in Columbia Thursday
and passed resolutions condemning
Senator McLaurin and asking him by
q vote of n to to resign his seat in
the United States senate. Senator
Tillman was there and spoke in favor
OF the resolutions, severely handing
junior senator and his friends "and
swept things by storm, the opposition
being but mere chaf in the whirl-
wind" says The State

LETTHs PEOPLE SPEAK.

The action Of the State Executive
McLaurin out Of the party is untime
ly. The committee is not "fresh
from the people" and consequently
cannot fully represent the voice Of
the people but only the opinion Of
few politicians. Senator Tillman's
proposed policy and that Of part OF
his followers in organizing the March
convention in 1890 was as much con-
trary to the existing order Of things
at that time as those Of Senator Nc
Laurin now; yet the State Executive
Committee did not read them out Of
the party but adopted the broad prin-
ciple that this is white mans gov
ernment and all questions are to be
decided by a white mans primary.
Col. Hoyt last year ran in the pri-
mary after receiving nomination
from separate party, from the reg
ular organized Democratic party, yet
ne and his followers were not read
out but the people were allowed to
say what course and policy they
wanted.
Has the time come when the ex
ecutive committee shall say who are
or who are not Democrats? Every
man has right to his own opinion
Ln Il -,
the State Of expressing it is through
the Primary, and if Senator McLau
rim takes that pledge lie should be
allowed to run and the executive
committee be made to understand
that they are the servants Of the peo-
pie and not their bosses. No harm
could have come to the white people
of the State if they were allowed to
decide the question between Senators
Gilman and McLaurin and how can
they decide it unless allowed by their
bosses to hear the question discussed.
The Spanish war has suddenly
transformed the United States into @
world power and new policies have
arisen and must be met. We have
our representatives at Washington to
represent us, the State ard the United
States. One set comes home with
one construction on their duty to the
people they represent and another
with u Different idna-the people want
to hear Goti: sides-both sides are
ready and willing to report and willing
to abide the decision Of the white
people Of the State, yet the bosses as.
sumo to think they can institute a
system of gag law that will shut out
their opponents.
The people OF Union county arc
noted for their freedom OF speech,
thought and action and THE TINES,
voicing their sentiment, will demand
n fair fight inside the Democratic
party and abide the result as ex-
pressed by majority Of the white
inen Of the State. Senator McLaurin
should hold mis- ssat and demand the
right to be heard.

 Dawson has had a dog show. The following, "Standard of Out side Dogs for the Bench Show,' is clipped from the Dawson News of recent date. That no special breed is named, and from the fact that the standard" is composed of 50 ~1nauy characteristics to be found in one dog as in the States would be necessary to make an omelet of the entire canine race, 1t Is inferred that the 'standard' is that of the beau ideal for trail purposes, breed- ing or pedigree cutting no figure.

WHAT IS NEEDED
 IN THIS DISTRICT.

A Few Facts Worth Looking Into.
 Delaying Development.
 A recent arrival from Dawson was heard to express himself few days ago, i'll language more torclble than elegant, that the district surrounding Rampant had never been prospected and, from talks with various miners here, he had about came to the conclusion that there were less than five practical miners Ill the entire district.
 In saving this, the key note of the whole situatlon here was struck. The Rampant mining district has NOT been prosDected. few holes sunk on one creek does not prospect that cre<k, anu the results obtained by such measures, # not followed up thoroughly, amount 70 nothing-and show nothing.
 Rampant, poorly prospected, as admit ted by all, has produced more gold i'll proportion to the amount of work done and the men to do 1t than the klOnd1ke. This looks like all exaggeratlOn; but a careful study of the output since 'QS will convince the most skept:cal that 1t IS fact.
 We want more miners. By this we mean practical men, who understand their business; not men who come with the expectation that we will divide With them what we already have found; but miners who will prospect virgin ground that even cheecllacos have found good colors on We can assure these men that what they get they can keep; 1t will not be stolen from them; they will not be taxed or harried by royalties. What they take out is their own. Less than thirty miles from camp is a vast section known to contain gold. All that can be shown after two years work by less than fifty men is little prospecting on Eure- ka, Rhode Island and Omega creeks. Three below on Eureka will clean up full 1y SIS 1000 by fall, and discovery on the same creek will clean up fully as much. Still some have been heard to say that all the gold on Eureka, creek miles in length, is on these two claims. Does this look reasonable? Most assuredly not. Time will demonstrate that there is pavstreak on Eureka of considerable 1ength, but probably not where the pres ent creek channel is.

COLISEUM'S BIG ATTRACTION.
Records Likely to he Broken by the
Motor Cycles Tonight.

Motor Cycles Tonight.
The battle between the four fastest motor
cycles in America tonight at the Coliseum
promises to eclipse anything of it's kind
ever seen in this city. The races will COM
mence at s:15 o'clock, and an excellent pro-
gram has teen arranged for the occasion.
The idea Of motor cycle racing is entirely
new to this section, as the craze for races
of this style, considered the fastest and
most exciting of races, is only of recent
origin.
All the men in the race tonight have
absolute confidence in the curves of the
track, and from the spirit displayed in
training there Is little doubt but that they
will again take caution in both hands and
whirl around the track as fast as the en-
gines and their legs can drive them without
once thinking Of the awful danger Of the
game.
The machines and their riders entered to-
night are: The Royal Blue" Gaudette and
Scherer; yellow Boy" King and Hunter;
BLACK Joe," Schultz and Bennett and
1.-The Blue Flyer" McFeeters and Zimmer-
man. The motor races will be run off in
five-mile heats, with the final at ten miles.
The losers Of the five-mile heats Will meet
In final heat of five miles for fourth prize
money. All of the motors and riders ar
rived this morning and took trial spins on
the track shortly before noon They will
turn loose again this evening previous to
the races tonight. The program will prac-
tically consist Of three motor races.
There Is the keenest rivalry between the
crews Of motors Of the same camp, as each
seeks to demonstrate that 1t Is the faster,
which means more employment and greater
emolument. The final between the chief
motors Of the rival camps should prove
something fierce, provided nothing should
break and hurl the riders to the trouble
wagon.
The amateur events will include one
mile novice, one-mile handicap and a police
pursuit race. The twenty entries in the
handicap include all of the best riders Of
the District, and fast time is expected in
| each event. In addition to the regular
| program of events several Of the crack
riders Of the amateur class will demon
strate their speedy qualities behind one of
the big machines.

In the second game, Cleveland began
work on Lee from the start. Pickering got
base on balls, but was forced at second
by OBrien. Beck followed with a double
and La Chance with triple, a passed ball
by Clarke helping along matters SO that
a trio Of runs was rung up.
In the second inning, the Buckeyes made
two more and settled Mr.. Lees career for
the day. Shiebeck singled to left, stole
second and went to third on Clarke's Door
throw to Farrell. Connors single to right
sent Shiebeck over the plate McNeal then
hit to Lee and on the latter's poor throw to
second to catch Connor the runner contin-
ued on to third. O'Brien's double scored
Cleveland's catcher.
Dale Gear faced Cleveland in the third
and did we'll for two innings, but the y,s-
itors would not be denied, and in the fifth
inning hammered two more runs over the
plate. After La Chance had gone out Brad

stole second and on Waldron's muff Of Con-

Cleveland's efforts in the run-sooring line
with total Of seven.
While the Buckeyes were SO busy with
their bats, the Senators were being fyno-
ttZed by young McNeal and found it simply
impossible to hit consecutively. Cipher
after cipher was run up until seven of them
were hung in a line. In the eighth Nc
NeaPs curves were located and for time
the enthusiasm was immense, AS the spec
tators saw possibility of victory. Cling
man scratched a hit into right and Gear
doubled in the same direction, Waldron
followed with hot drive to La Chance and
had the throw to McNeal beaten, but the
ball went wild and Clingman and Gear
scored the first named reaching third on

pector and had explained to them the basis
of his belief. Last night a meeting of
those who have looked into the matter was

say that so confident is the Pittsburg man
that oil exists that he charges nothing for
his services IL success does not attend the
