sixth in the State. Iwas inform
ed by Mr.. D. B. FAINT, superin-
tendent OF, County Schools, that
the schools are in a highly pros
porous condition and an increased
interest is being shown in the
cause Of education. The enroll
ment for 1904shows six thousand.
Six hundred. There are one
hundred schools in the county.
and one hundred and twenty-five
teachers, seventy white teachers:
average salaries of white teach
ers $35 per month.
Supt. FAINT is enthusiastic on
the subject of education. He
has served the county eight years
was elected in 1896 and re-elect
ed for another term. -
DePass & DePass rank with
the leading lawyers of South
Carolina, a State famous through
out the Union for brilliant men.
These young men are natives of
Camden. Mr.. Victor E. DePass
was admitted to the bar in 1897,
having taken an academic and
law course at the South Caroline |
College, coming to Union after |
MS graduation. This young man |
has been brilliantly successful, |
and is one of the handsomest |
men in South Carolina. The
brother is only twenty-five years |
she South Caronna CoIrege anu3
was admittedin 1903. DePass e.
DePass have a splendid pra :tice.
After all it is brains that rule |
the world. Go into either branch |
Of the Legislature, the halls Of
Congress, and you will find that
the men who lead are almost |
without exception men trained to
the legal profession. Let me
make a prediction. Victor De-
Pass will go to Congress in a few
years. Y.l
I am very sorry not to hay
met Judge Townsend and Nj
Gordon Hughes. I know the /
father of the latter, and he is !
one of the best men in Trenton,
Mr.. S. H. Hughes.
Hon. R. L., McNally, the en-
terprising Mayor of Union, man.
ager of the Bailey Lumber Co.,
has taken great pride in the
natural development of his town.
He is young man of high social
standing and is spoken of in the
most complimentary terms by
everybody. The family is from
County Mayo, Ireland, and 1 be-
lieve that the present young
Mayors father was Mayor of
Union thirty years ago. Hon.
r. L. McNally is Manager and
Treasurer of one of the largest
lumber companies in South Caro-
lima, the Bailey Lumber q Manu-
factuaing Co., controlling an i'm
memse business in lumber and
house furnishings. In 1890 the
population of Union was 1850;
in 1904, about 10000. Cotton
mills, furniture factories, and all
kinds of industries tell to the
world the story of Unions prog
ress.
j. Anderson Brown, the lead
ing real estate man, will tell you
of the high prices being paid
now for real estate and how rap

transferred more real estate and
