An Accomplished Star.

Elwyn Strong, the clever American
actor who is appearing with such
marked success this season in fine
production of that famed and we'll
known drama CDR. Jekyll and Mr..
HYDE has been stamped by the
critics as an actor who is sure to have
brilliant future. Mr.. Strong's fine
portrayal of that dual role of DR..
Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde is a carefully
studied, clear cut effort. The talent
of the artist actor and the individ-
uality of the man is apparent before
he is on the stage three minutes at
the opera house Saturday night.

JEVER before have the people of
Union been served 80 satisfactory.
The burning question with us in
buying is to get the best for spot
cash, and our only thought in SELL
ing is to have the best, the newest,
the cheapest, and do for you a little
better all the time than anyone else
can, and that Flynn knows he can
and will do. Long years Of expert
ence in the largest markets of the
world has taught Flynn where to
get the best variety and lowest
prices. Our buyer in New York
last week purchased the greatest
bargain at the great auction sale Of
Sweetzer, Pembrook & Co., New
York for spot case. Some of those
goods are now in, and others are
following. They are not cheap,
thrashy stuff, but they are snappy,
up-to-da merchandise that any
lady can be proud to wear. Flynn
is never behind when it comes to
catering to the wants Of the Union
ladies. Goods are never made too
pretty or too good for the ladies of
this section, and the correct styles
and prices can be always found at
Flynn's.

Another Barn and Mules Burned.

About 2 o'clock Wednesday morn
ing the large barn on the plantation
known as the Gillian II. Jeter place,
now owned by his con Paul Jeter,
was burned, eight mules and large
lot of fodder were burned. Four of
the mules belonged to Mr.. w. r.
Gregory who had part of the lands
rented. Two of the mules belonged
to MIR. Ed Gregory, of Chester, who
has been engaged in hauling for the
Neal Shoals contractors, and gener-
ally kept his mules in this stable.
The other two mules had been sold
to two of the negro tenents on the
place by Mr.. Paul Jeter. The fire
started in the lott and is thought to
be incendiary as there had been no
one in the loft since IL o'clock the
day before, at which time the wagons
of MIR. Paul Jeter had been loaded
to take to his place at Carlisle. We
are told that few days before the
ire, the two negroes whose mules
were burned in this barn had fight
with some of the other tenants on
the place, and bad blood existed be-
tween these people.

Wednesdays Rain Storm.

The street cutters and drains of
the city of Union were not prepared
for, or in any way equal to that
heaviest of rain fall that came We'd
nesday afternoon. 1t was regular
cloud burst, flooding every place.
The concrete pavements in many
places being on level with and in
some places little higher than the
doors of the business houses, the wa
ter ran into the doors in. stream.
The store house of Norman and Muir
ply being on corner and the street
a little down grade, the water gath
cred as it fell and flowed into the
door. 1t was simply impossible to
keep back the aow of water, either
by closing the doors or use of brooms.
In many places the streets looked
like swollen creek, and the roar and
rush of waters like mighty torrent.

Age Of Political Parties.

Fifty years ago this summer the
Republican party was born. Author.
ities differ as to the exact date and
place OF the birth, doubtless because
the union of anti-slavery people was
progressing Independently in various
parts OF the country at the same
time.
The Democratic party, with some
changes in the name, dates from 1892.
Then it was known as the Republi-
can party, and opposed the Federals
under the lead of Hamilton. In
1893 it assumed the name, Demo.
cratic Republican," by which it is
still designated in the platforms OF
Tammany in New York. The party
divided in 1928, and the opponents OF
General Jackson gradually formed
themselves into a new organization
under the name of National Republi
cans. The party in power ultimate.
~ dropped the word Republican, and
became simply the Democratic party,
a name which it has ever since re.
tanned.
When the slavery issue cut across
all party lines and new party was
formed in 1854, the name Republican
was selected, it is said, in the hope
that it would appeal to the anti-slay-
cry members of the old Democratic
Republican and National Republican
parties.
The Wings did not appear in a
national election until 1886. The
party was crushed and dispersed by
its defeat in 1852, and was succeeded
by the American or Know-Nothing,
party. The abolitionist and Free
soilers, under various names, organ
lied and nominated candidates for
President between 1889 and 1856,
when the new Republican party en-
tered the field with John G.. Fremont
as it's standard bearer"
Since 1856 ten or fifteen new par
ties have arisen, lived awhile and
died. None Of them save the Pro-
hibitionist party has survived more
than three presidential elections. In
1900 eight parties strove for the pres
dency. Six of them failed to win
single electoral vote. Indeed, since
Lincoln's second election the Peoples
better known as the Populist party,
is the only "third party" which has
succeeded in choosing any electors.

OF unusual festivity last evening. 1t
was the result of the ending of the

in progress for several weeks. The

on sides under two captains. Miss

raised to 1902. and these also include
the "Home Department and "Cradle

300 new scholars and the Pinks 2lO.
SO last evening the victorious side
was entertained by the defeated
Pinks, and right royalty treated.
Dainty little maidens in white caps
and aprons, trimmed with their col
ors, served the refreshments, and
nothing was left undone for their en-.
tertalnment. The time was spent very
pleasantly, the older members in so

ones in playing games Every one en-.

THERE aie two things that the whole
Il medical profession agree 0 obout con-
Cerning catarrh. The first is that Ca
tarrbis the most prevalentand omnipres-
ent disease to which the people in the
United States are subject. All classes
Of people have it. Those who stay in
doors much and those who go outdoors
much. Working classes have IL and
gedentary classes have it.
The doctor finds catarrh 10 be his con-
slant and ever-present foe. 1t compli-
Gates nearly every disease he is called
upon 10 treat.
The second thing about catarrh on
which all doctors agree, is that It is diff
flcult 10 cure 1t. Local remedies may
give relief hut they fail to cure per-
mSnenuy. Sprays or snuffs amount to
