WHY NOT UNION?

conditions In nclghbOring cities, we
are convinced that a chamber of
commerce is almost essential to the
best development or even reason
able growth of town or city. In
Rock Hill, the commercial club is
an active organization, operated by
the business men of the city,
through II secretary employed for
all of his time and with no other
business but that of looking after
the best interests of the city. AS a
result of activity on the part of this
secretary, backed hy the men who
hold the business power in their
hands, many Ecntcrprises seeking
fields of operation have been
brought to that city. Anderson
has a board of trade that has done
much for the Electric City. And
in Grccnvillc, when the chamber of
commerce starts out upon any un-
dcrtaking or asks aught of corpora
tons or companies of any kind, a
result is forthcoming. To prove
this we have only to notice the
action of the Southern railway and
the commission after the chamber
OF commerce took up the matter.
An investigation was at once made,
Il Encouragement of schedules
begun, and the Commission
in a body rode over and
inspected the G. Il G.. branch
on Wednesday. Even the little
town of Camden has Il commercial
club that is force in the city's
life.
Now, as we have said before, we
arc no knockers. But we do see
that Union is sorcly in need of an
organized effort to further her in
tercsts and make it the city it once
promised to be. Has Union " city
hospital? Has she monument to
her Confederate dead? Is the
cemetery cared for as it should be-?
Are the public works being op-
Grated to the best advantage? Is
the city receiving just deserts from
the railroad that enters her limits?
And is the capital brought here,
what it should be for city of her
size? These are questions that
should interest every business man
who has Unions interests at heart
or even his own. For, it is obyi-
ment means the betterment of her
business men.
a club was formed here some
time ago. We say nothing in dis
paragment of this organization, for
as far as activity is concerned, it
is not in existence. OF course,
reorganization would be practically
the same as new board.
Having the interest of Unions
welfare deeply mt heart, we urge
the business men to organize; elect
an active man to push the matter,
and do for Union what can be
done, and what should be done.
Some say that our city is in the
dumps now, owing to recent
financial troubles, and unable to
make any effort along the lines sug-
gestcd. If these things be true,
now is the most opportunc time for
organization, and an opportunity
for the greatest activity. The
results of boards work would be
greater and more effective right
now than any other time. Many
have commended the suggestions of
an editorial along this line in a
recent issue, and expressed them
selves as willing to enter into such
an organization.
The time is opportunc, and
we sincerely hope our citizens will
come together and effect and organ
ization that will mean something,

NEGRO WILL DIE
|. FROM GUNSHOT
WOUNDS
Oscar Moore Shot by Dan
Dudley at Molino at 5
O'clock Sunday After
noon.

In fight Sunday afternoon at Molino
between Oscar Moore and Dan Dudley,
both colored. the former was shot in the
breast with No. l shot, receiving wounds
from which he will probably die, if he
has not already expired.
Deputy Sheriff Smith arrived in the
city yesterday afternoon with Dudley in
his custody and placed him in the coun-
ty jail. From what could be learened of
the shooting there had been trouble be-
tween the two negroes for some time.
Several months since Moore was convict
ed in the criminal court here of assault
ing and robbing Dudley and entenced to
a long term on the county road, and it is
stated that he vowed vengence when he
was released. - -
Sunday afternoon he wentrto the house
of Dudley and the two engaged in a quar-
rel over a pan, and ii is stated that
Moore picked up a stick and advanced
threatening on Dudley, when the latter
reached for his shot gun and emptied the
contents into the breast, the large shot
tearing away the flesh of the left arm to
the bone and penetrating the left lung.
The wounded man fell on the verandah,
but got up and walked for a distance of
about fifty yards until he lost sc much
blood that he again fell.
Dudley was on his wayto Cottage Hill
to surrender when he met the deputy just
leaving that place to go on a hunt for
him.

day at Century for Kill

TRIAL WAS BEFORE JUDGE
MITCHELL AND WAS ATTEND.
ED BY MANY-BYRD ONLY EYE.
WITNESS TO SHOOTING.

j. w. Linton, charged by a coroner's
jury with the murder of Sim Mason at
Bluff Springs some weeks ago, was given
preliminary hearing at Century yester-
day afternoon and held upon the charge
OF manlaughter. Bond was fixed at SO, 900
and In default of same the defendant was
returned to the city by the sheriff last
night and locked in jail to await the
next term of the criminal court.
The hearing was before Judge Mitchell
and was attended by an immense crowd,
several going from Pensacola, and many
from Bluff Springs, where both parties
resided and have relatives
The prisoner, in custody Of Sheriff Van
Pelt left here yesterday morning, and the
counsel for the defense and prosecution
also departed on the same train, arriving
at Century In time for the trial, which
commenced at o'clock
Chas. II. Laney conducted the prosecu-
ton. while Samuel Pasco, Jr., appeared
for the defendant. The prosecution in
troduced only two witnesses, one being
young Byrd who accompanied Mason
to the home of Linton the night that the
killing occurred and who was the only
eye witness, and the physician who ex-
amined the deceased, while many wit
nesses for defendant were heard, includ
Ing the wife and daughter, who were in
the room prior to the shooting.
1t will be remembered that Mason,
accompanied by Byrd, visited the Linton
home one Sunday night about four weeks
ago to call upon the daughter of the lat
ter, and while there a quarrel arose be-
tween Linton and Mason resulting in
the former shooting the latter. Linton's
plea was self-defense, making the state
ment that Mason twice attempted to
shoot him before he left the room for his
shot gun and that when he returned to
the room with it Mason again endeavored
to shoot, but he fired first. killing him in
stantly. He claimed that the cause of
the quarrel was abuse of his daughter by
Mason.
Young Byrd, the eye witness, yesterday
testified, however, that Mason did not
attempt to shoot Linton. although he did
draw his revolver. The two were quar-
reling he said, and Mason drew his re-
volver. but did not attempt to shoot,
and that Linton left the room and Sc
curing his gun fired through the door
way, killing the young man. Upon his
testimony Linton was held upon the
charge of manslaughter.
Now that the alleged crime has been
reduced from murder to manslaughter it
can be heard in the criminal court, and
it is probable that it will be taken up at
the next term of that tribunal.
Hon. C. M. Jones, who has been re-
tanned as counsel to defend Linton, was
sick yesterday and could not attend the
trial.
