New Mineral Spring.

Among other improvements and ad-
vances, Union can now boast a mineral
spring. Mr.. L. Frank Peake bought a
part of the Gage property at the sale
held some months ago. On the part of
the tract that Mr.. Peake purchased he
has discovered a mineral spring, and has
had it walled in with rock and intends
to put up summer house over it,. lie
sent some of the water off to be analyz ID
last Saturday. Many of the people of
the town are going down morning and
afternoon to drink the water. What
need to go to West Springs or Glenn
Springs, when here at our very door may
be found the life-giving mineral water.
Several of those who have partaken
freely of the water affirm that it is very
beneficial in its results. We hope Mr..
Peake will get aa analysis from Glenn
son College that i'll show good mineral
properties, and that our peop will &C =
down and drink and grow fat.

Letter to L. ]. Browning,
Union, s. G..

Dear Sir: 1t is all very well for us to
say that it takes fewer gallons of Devoe
Lead and Zinc to paint house than it
does of mixed paints; but you want to
know the reason why.
For the same reason that it takes less
good cows milk to feed baby than it
does of skinned milk.
Most mixed paints are fifteen to eighty
per cent. adulteration-inco
but true. Water isn't paint. Barytes
isn't paint, Whiting isn't paint. Ben
zine isn't paint. Petroleum isn't paint.
Fish oil isn't paint. None of these are
a right part Of a good paint. None of
these do the work that belongs to paint.
All they do is to fill the can.
Devoe Lead and Zinc is one hundred
per cent. paint. The adulterated mi X ed
paints are only twenty to eight-fve per
cent. paint.
Mixed paint ought to be from fifteen
to eighty per cent. cheaper than Devoe
Lead and Zinc-no; the worse of them
oughtn't to be anything. They waste
your money: you not only must buy
more gallons, but you must pay the
painter for spreading the extra number
of gallons; and painting costs three
times as much as the paint.
Yours truly,
+. w. DEvoE 4 Co.

Six O'clock CLOSING.

It's comforting to think that during
the long hot summer time the stores will
clo'e at 6 O'Clock. Our principal busi-
ness street is almost deserted after six
O'Clock. The Clerks are allowed to
close up at six and go home or engage in
out door sports. Doubtless it is in order
for us to express our thanks to the mer-
chants in behalf of the clerks. May we
suggest that it would be good thing for
our young men to get his 'best grip
and stroll down TO the new mineral
spring? Hurry up, Mr.. Peake, an
build the summer house down near ths
spring.

Don't Fool With Old Guns,

A few days ago a young boy, Walter
Honey. South Union, accidently dis
charged gun and two or three shots
struck his sister in the neck and head.
1t was an old gun. Walter had no idea
it was loaded. His sister was getting
some apples. Walter jokingly threaten
ed to shoot, pulled trigger-and the gun
went off. Fortunately the young lady
was not hurt, but it came near being a
serious affair. 1t would seem that, in
view, of the many calamities that have
come from old guns thought to be un-
loaded, no one would ever again run the
risk. But it is one of the things that
people are slow to learn.

In the Police Courts.

On Saturday of last week at the base
bal! grounds, Perrin's grove, Policeman
VIM. F. O'Shields attempted to arrest
Il. A. Horn. In the alteration which
followed O'Shields struck Horn a severe
blow on the head with his club. 1t was
reported that Horn was seriously hurt.
Mr.. Vernon Gault swore out a warrant
for the arrest of Policeman O'Shields
AT the trial in the Mayors court Tues
-dau- Mr. r-Ganlt- .npoa the advice of his
attorney, withdrew his charges against
O'Shields and will take the matter into
the courts. Mr.. O'Shields did not ap.
pear in the Mayors court, but sent in
his resignation and withdrew charges
against Horn. The town authorities, in
order to get to the bottom of the trouble,
carried on the investigation, although
the charges were withdrawn. The
resignation of Mr.. O'Shields was ac.
cepted.

Children's Day Among the CoIored
People.

The Zion A. NJ. E. Church held a
Chiidren's Day exercise Sunday after
noon and night. A collection of S35 90
for missions and $4,000 for the Clinton
Normal and Industrial School at Rock
Hill made the total collection $50 90.
Tie $1,000 was turned over to c.. II.
Jones, who is agent for the Rock Hill
school. Jones says he has received con-
tributionsl from a number of business
men of Union. This is as it should lie.
After all, the best friend the negro has
is the Southern white man. Now that
we are coming to clearer understanding
of things this is more and more apparent.
The colored Presbyterians, Rev. d. D.
Davis, pastor, will hold their Sunday
morning service in the Court House at
IL o'clock. And their Children's Day
service at $3.50 o'clock Sunday afternoon.
