A Cutting Scrapc.

Last Monday morning John
Bryant and Clarence Welsh had
some trouble which resulted in
Welsh cutting Bryant across the
cheek with a knife inficting a Sc
we're and almost fatal wound. Sun
day night Bryant and some two or
three Of his friends occupied room
at the Foreman house where Welsh
is porter. Welsh claimed that the
room was unnecessarily Uttered up
causing him extra work in cleaning it
and demanded Is cents pay. Some
words followed and Bryant left the
hotel. Afterwards he returned to get
his overcoat and the quarrel was re-
newed. Welsh come up town and
Bryant started for his home. The
two met on the railroad track where
the cutting took place. After being
cut Bryant staggered into his home
only few steps away bleeding pro-
fusely. Drs. j. L. and F. w. Burke
were called and dressed the wound
and he is recovering.
Welsh was arrested by Constable
Wood and locked up. Prosecuting
Attorney Lander came over from
Brookfeld on the afternoon train and
Welsh was arranged before Justice
o. F. Libby. He waived prelimi-
nary examination and gave bond in
the sum of $500 to appear Friday
and was released. G. S. Welsh
signed his bond. G. c. Bigger will
defend him.

Jess Edwards Wrote to His Sister That lie Would
Commit Suicide-The Shock Killed Her.

Last week the Kansas City papers
printed an account of Jess Edwards,
Of Laclede, attempting to commit
suicide in rooming house in Kansas
City. He had saturated his handker-
chief with choloroform and tied it
over his mouth. He was discovered
and prompt work ON the part of the
police surgeon saved his life.
The next day Edwards wrote to
his sister, Mrs. Stella Wolfe at Topeka
telling her of his unsuccessful attempt
to take his own life and that he in
tended to follow it up by a successful
attempt in few days. The news 50
shocked Mrs. Wolfe that she imme-
diately went into convulsions. She
was revived and taken to hospital,
where she died early Wednesday
morning.
Mrs. Lizzie Edwards, of Laclede,
mother of Mrs. Wolfe, received a
telegram Tuesday afternoon notifying
her of the serious illness of her
daughter and another Wednesday
morning saying she was dying.
Mrs. Edwards left Laclede for Topeka
Wednesday noon but her daughter
was dead before she reached there.

RESIDENCE BURNED AT PURDIN.
Insured in The Laclede Mutual and PROMPT
Settle Made by the Company.

Last Saturday evening the hand.
some residence of 5. S. Hale, in
Purdin, was destroyed by fire together
with all contents except the piano
and few other articles. The fire is
supposed to have originated from
Goals dropping from the stove during
the absence of the family. The house
and contents was insured in the La
clede Mutual Fire and Lightning
company for $1,000. Secretary May
bee went to Purdin Monday and ad-
justed the loss. Wednesday the board
met and Thursday Mr.. Hale was
handed check for the full amount

amount Of the loss this is the most

ord that the policy holders as we'll as
the officers ought to be proud of.
This company now has policy holders
in every part of the counay and new
business is coming in every day. 1t

A CITY PARK.

About two years ago We advocated
through the columns Of THE TIMES, a
city park, as almost absolutely neces-
sary for such city as Union had
grown to be. The Gage property bad
not then been cut into lots and sold :,
and that property was offered to the
town at a most reasonable price
Now that this property is out of the
question for city park, we have
been reliably informed that Col. G..
q. Perrin will sell his property, in
Guiding the base ball park, in all con-
tanning about so acres. Most of the
people know the location Of this prop
erty, and know Of it's beauty and
suitableness for city park. The
owner offers this property at reason
able price and on easy terms.
In few years the electric line will
run by this park on it's way to Aetna
and Monarch mills. The city, by
having park for the general resort
OF the citizens, will contribute to the
health and pleasure OF the citizens,
and can, by erecting a casino, and
the many other places of amusement,
realize revenue by which the pur-
chase price can soon be paid, and
then the city will own valuable prop
erty, and continue it's revenue, and
in few years be able to reduce it's
tax levy.

THE PRIMARY ELECTION.

The election passed off very quietly
and smoothly. A full vote was poll
ed, and every voter seemed to vote
very much as he pleased, without
fear. The day Of pulling and haul
ing the voter about and making his
ticket for him has passed, neighbors
get together and make out their own
ticket and swap little with each
other. The several candidates all
had warm friends who worked for
them untiringly, in a quiet way.
The division Of Union township into
four precincts greatly facilitated vot-
ing and counting the ballots the vot-
ing process is slow one at best,
therefore the more precincts the
quicker the vote can be cast and
counted.
The greatest interest manifested
by the voters seemed to be that Of
sheriff, house of representatives and
county commissioners.
The friends of these candidates
seemed more enthusiastic and did
good work for their choice Of candi-
dates.
The question of court house or no
court honse also created a lively in
interest among the voters and now
that the scheme is defeated by a
large majority of the level head
ed voters, we would suggest, that in
order to appease the wrath, quiet the
fears, crafty the taste Of the most
strenuous advocates of voting a tax
to build a new, beautiful and modern
structure, the county authorities
have those sombre-hued, rugged walls
painted sky blue, and the massive,
gray colums be striped like the zebra,
who is o close kinsman OF the jack
ass. This we hope will in measure
relieve this eyesore to some, who
when the look upon the building thus
decorpted, will instead of bray of
COMPLAINT, give a whinny Of delight.
The people have shown by their vote
that they read, and are betaer nform-
ed and appreciate good advice.

TO THE CANDIDATES.

THE TINES last week was not very
complimentary to the candidates as
to their speeches delivered at Santuc,
Carlisle and Black Rock. We now
take pleasure in saying that we are
pleased to congratulate the candidates
upon their speeches. We cannot say
without taking too much credit to
ourselves that what we said about the
speeches had good effect and woke
up the candidates to deeper sense
of their duty to themselves and the
people, as was shown by the improve
mept in your speeches. In order to
attract attention, one must always
say something, interesting aud Of i'm
portance. At this day and time
people clamor for live issues and care
nothing for.the stale and dead ques-
tions. We are proud to say that each
and every candidate has conducted
himself in a most decent and credit
able manner during the entire cam
paign, and that the campaign has
been upon high plane without mud
singing, and the people appreciating
this have cast their ballots for the
man they thought would do them the
best service.

WOMEN'S CLUBS, "ARTS
AND CRAFTS

The TIMES has several times pub
lished the good work being done by
the women's clubs, has attempted to
show that this organization OF our
women was not devoted wholly to
social pleasure. We now call atten-
tion to the department of "Arts and
Crafts" published in last weeks and
this issue Of THE TIMES. 1t is daily
becoming more generally known that
this organization has the most exalt-
ed aims and objects in view. The
talent OF the Southern women is be-
ing developed through the agency Of
this organization. 1t is fact now
being widely known and acknowledged
that the women Of the South possess
genius AMI talent, that their use
full and practical inve ntions and lite.
rary productions are superior to any
other women of the world. That they
help to fill the art galleries with the
best painting and drawings that have
ever adorned any art studio; that
they have contributed to the mercan.
tile world the most exquisite fancy
needle work that has ever decorate ed
the home or embellished the wearing
apparel Of woman. The women of
the Federation Of Women's Clubs are
now called on to exert themst lives to
execute some work Of art, IN order
that most creditable exhibit of this
work be on display at the coming
State Fair. We urge the ladies to
read the notice VIC publish in another
column Of this issue of THE TIMES
and govern yourselves accordingly,
having a county and State pride to
excel.

Arts and Crafts, Women's Clubs,

The South Carolina Federation of
WOmen's Clubs at its recent meeting in
New berry, made an "Arts and Crafts,
department, for the purpose of stimulat-
ing interest in the Home Industries
among the women of the State.
This work will consist of handy-work
ot any description, made by the hands
or south Carolina woman; laces, en-
broidery, basketry, re-binding books,
wood carving, designs in wallpaper,
woven rugs, carpets, quilts, etc.
Every effort will be made to create a
demand for this work, and orders will
be solicited. All women in this State
are urged to send samples of their han
dy-wOrk.
1t is especially desired through this
movement to reach the women of tn
rural districts, showing the possibilities
open to them, both as wage-earners aud
home teachers along these lines, to re-
vive, If possible, the old-fashioned art of
weaving, which even in its simplest form
is susceptible of excellent results.
Woven rugs, for example, when
wrought into artistic designs and har-
moniOus cOlOrs, are i'm great demand and
bring high prices.
1t is the hope and intention of this
department to have large and fine ex-
hibit in the WOman's Building in the
coming State Fair, therefore, we wish
TO urge all parties who anticipate sending
Work, to communicate with us ut once,
in order TO have time to work up good
exhibit.

Tie irrigated farms of the West show
the great capacity of land when well and
intensively farmed, and that men can
live in plenty and comfort on five acres
and even a single acre. Suppose that
the $4,000 recently discharged EMPLOYEES
of the Pennsylvania Railroad each had a
highly cultivated acre of rich land to
which he could turn his attention. In
stead of being drag on the community
and the country, instead of having stop
ped producing and consuming, they
would still be able to get at least a living
from the soil. Does not this instance of
the Unemployment of $4,000 men, who
might, if they owned each an acre. lie
getting living from the soil, supply
food for thought to the man who is pom
dering over economic problems?
