TINES JOB PRINT.

During the past five months of
The TINES existence under the
present management, there has been
remarkable and almost phenomenal
growth in every department. But
greatest of all has been the building
up of the job printing business.
Very little announcement OF the
new equipments, both presses and
materials, was made, but business
men always have their eyes open
and they have seen our work. The
consequence is that now our job
print is always crowded with work.
But we are receiving every day new
goods, new and additional machin-
cry, SO that we may better serve the
patrons of this department. This
notice is no boast, but an acknowl-
cdgcmcnt of your confidence, and
thanks for your patronage. We
are now in position to handle al
most any kind of work and it is cx-
ecutcd promptly and with less cost
than elsewhere. Our equipments
and amount Of work justify us in
making such small prices.

PreSentment of Grand Jury
Fall Term 1906.
TO His Honor Chas. G. Dantzlcr,

To His Honor Chas G. Dantzlcr,
Presiding Judge.
We, the Grand Jurors of Union
County, beg to make this our final
report: We have carefully exam
ined and passed upon all bills
handed us by the Solicitor, and
have made presentment on each ac-
cording as we thought the evidence
warranted.
We have by committee visited
the Treasurer office and find his
books neatly and well kept and we
are satisfied they are correct. We
visited the Auditors office and
found his books neat and in good
condidition.
We visited the County Supervis-
or's office and we gave it thorough
examination. We find his books in
good shape, and in such order that
any one could understand the same.
We find that the new macadam
road has cost the county exclusive
of the machinery, five thousand,
three hundred and forty nine dol
lars (S5, ,349.OO.) This being at
the ratc of three thousand dollars
per nile. Owing to the fact that
there was some heavy grading, and
one of the worst roads in the coun-
ty, and taking into consideration
the excessive heavy rains during
the year, we consider this amount
very cheap.
We had some complaint made to
us that there were certain Irregular
tiles existing in this office. We
made thorough examination of
the vouchers and find the Supervis-
or absolutely correct and the report
false. We by committee visited
the Sheriff's, Probate Judges,
Clerks and School Commission Of
fees and we commend them all for
their neat and well kept books in
their offices. We visited the Jail,
chain gany and county parish. All
these institutions arc in the hands
OF competent men and are well kept
and managed.
Here were given the names of
several men and women living in
fOrnication, and witnesses thereto.
1t is deemed best by the editor, to
omit this in publishing.
We extend to His Honor, also to
tlc Solicitor, and other officers of
the court our thanks for their coun-
sci and courtesies shown us during
the term.
Respectfully submitted,
G. G. SARToR,
Foreman.

TOO MUCH LEGISLATION.

Judge Parker's address few days
ago, in which he charges too much
legislation, too many laws, is prcg-
nant with truth. This multiplicity
of statutes almost ncccssitates the
non-cnforccment of many; and
permits so much wrangling, varied
Interpretation and in consequence
retardation of justice. 1t is next

OUR AB0MINABLE R. R. SERVICE.

The lateness of all trains passing
through Union and the poor accom-
oiations ETC., have about worn to a
frazzlc the patience of the Union
people. Our trains arc considered
by the authorities az mere conven-
fences for the longer lines in Spar
tanburg and Columbia; they are
made to wait on those trains, never
regarding the interests of the pa
irons along this line. 1t is high
time the people of Union raised
their voices demanding their rights
and the service due them. Once
before, protest was made to the
commission and for a while the
trains were well on time, but soon
the old condition returned.
The business of the state railroad
commission is to see to this, but
its attention needs to be directed
thereto. Maj. Jno. II. Earle, we
want you to look into this matt, r
and See that Union gets what is
due her.

BRYAN AND THE PARTY.

Although the election of Presi-
dent is two years off, the whole
country is in a stir over the possible
nominees. The Republican party
seems yet without leader since the
third term for Roosevelt is consid-
cred impossible.
William Jennings Bryan, of Ne
braska, twice the nominee of the
Democrats, has again come forward
and seems to be the leader of his
party.
Whether or not he represents the
sentiment of the party is Il ques-
ton, since his Madison Square Gar
den speech last Friday night. All
his beliefs, except one, seem to meet
with favor by the other prominent
members of the party. Govern
ment ownership of the trunk lines
and state control of the smaller
lines is the wedge that has split the
party. Bryan advocates this doc
trinc and is persistent in it, al
though he declared later that he was
expressing his private opinions only.
Notwithstanding this division,
Bryan stands today, the greatest
figure in the ranks of Democracy.
He leads, and he leads with not
merely his great conception of po-
litical, economic and social needs,
but with his great personality also.
He is magnetic man and speaker.
Without question he stands today
as the foremost Democrat in Amer
lea. What two years may bring
forth is impossible to tell.

Col. John Temple Graves, editor
of the Atlanta Georgian, sounds the
key note to the solution of the lynch
ing question. In number of
strong editorials he has pointed out
that the salvation of the negro rests
with the negro himself. And with
out doubt this is true. The
Southern white men are doing their
part for the negro now, helping ed
ucate him, fostering his schools and
churches, furnishing employment
at a good wage for all of them, both
men and women, and unless the ne
gro does his part it is all to no avail.
The negro preachers, editors and
teachers must do their part. So
long us they rail at the lynchcrs
and do not condemn the crime that
causes it, they need expect nothing
but lynchings. 1t is their duty,
and if they fail to do it they just as
well expect the natural consequence.

THE PENALTY OF REMORSE.

Jail in this city charged with mur-
der. Two days ago he was free
man, ut liberty to come and go as
he pleased, to mingle with his
friends and enjoy the happiness of
his home made bright by the soci-
ETY. of his young wife. He was one
of the tircmcn of this city and
doubtless felt the responsibility
placed on him to care for the prop
crty of the citizens and with his fcl-
lows to conquer the fire ficnd. He
had, so far as appears, little to wor-
ry over, nothing to cause sorrow.
Now he is the most unhappy
creature in the county. He has
taken the life of fellow man and
that man his sisters husband. The
uncertainty of the laws penalty and
the ordeal of a public trial and the
months of dread and contemplation
to prcccdc it would be Il burden al
most too great to be borne; but
there is yet n greater penalty, a
more severe and lasting punishment
which has air, ady begun.
Remorse has laid its relentless
hand on this young man and with
his dying breath, should he live to
be a hundred years old, he will feel
its pitilcss lashings. Regret is the
saddest thought in human expert
ence, the most hopeless and gnaw-
ing and cruel because it cannot be
remedied and won't be forgotten.
Oh, if | could but recall that deed!
are words that will burn themselves
into this young mans thoughts with
hourly and lifelong iteration.
Probably he did not intend to
kill his victim. He says he aimed
at his legs. But he hit him in the
abdomen and killed him. 1t is for
the courts and the jury to deter
mine the nature of the crime, if any,
and its punishment, and we have
no wish to interfere either for or
against him. The punishment al
ready referred to outside of that in
hicted by the law is terrible enough
and it is that which makes this a
sad case.
The lesson taught by this unfor-
tunatc tragedy is the dangers that
lie in a quick temper and deadly
weapon. They cause acts that can
not be recalled and establish regrets
that are as poignant as the knife
and as enduring as life. A hasty
deed brings deliberate repentance.
How many of our young men in the
face of the terrible consequences
brought to this man by rash act,
due to the unlawful possession and
use of pistol, will still 60 about
armed with deadly weapons ready
to resent instantly and with conse-
quenccs that can never be escaped
or forgotten real or fancied injuries
that will ever afterwards appear in
significant in comparison with the
suffering brought about by homi-
cide!-Spartanburg Journal.
Alone with his thoughts! and
those thoughts spring from the
mind haunted by the spirit of his
victim. Day in and day out, and
all through the night, the departed
spirit of the murdered man hovers
around and in tones clear and un-
accuses the wretched
man. His dreams are freightcd
with terror: his thoughts haunt him.
Murder rcaps a terrible punish
ment. The penalty of the law is
not all-the accusations of ones
own mind are the worst to be reck-
oned with. Memory is one of mans
greatest faculties. 1t is awful. It'll
constitutes a great part of that
which will make for him heaven or
hell.

SO Decreed By the Present Admin
istration to Reduce the Years
Staggering Deficit
oREMAToRY ABANDONED
And Street Team Is To Be Sold,
Because City Is Too Poor To
Own steed Or Two.

The city council has begun some
very drastic measures in order to
save itself from a deplorable fnan-
cial plight and inaugurated some
economies Of far reaching and
consequence. It has
been aseertained that the financial
straights of the city are this early
in the present councilmanic year
such that the work already under
taken can not be completed without
the diversion of funds from sources
stipulated expressly by law fol-
definite purposes and without the
employment of certain economics
detrimental to the city from many
standpoints.
4 large amount Of water works
funds is to be transferred to the
general fund Notwithstanding the
long agitation for better water
system. The street team IS to be
sold, though there.is ever a demand
for the services of that team. The
crematory is to be practically closed,
though there is garbage enough here
to keep it running every day in the
year, and now we are to live in filth
and squalor. All for the sake Of
bringing down the deficit of the
present year!
All members were present FRIDAY
night save Halterman, Smith and
Cork.
The minutes of the previous
meeting we're read and approved
The Eureka Pipe Line Company's
asked-for franchise to erect and OPP
crate a telephone line on Traders
alley, Third street, Second street.

Councilman Wood offered an amend
ment that the franchise should not
take effect or be operative until the
company pays the city one dollar
for each pole set and the same
amount on each pole annually dur
ne Tire life of the franchise. Nc
Andrew seconded the motion and
the same carried.
Mr.. Wood offered another amend
ment limiting the life Of the fran
chise to rs years. This amendment
was lost. and Councilman Wood
moved that the life Of it be fifty
wears. This prevailed.
TIE ordnance IS amended then
passed unanimously and is now a
law.
Chairman Council. of the fire
committee reported that the pres
emit fire headquarters could be
rented for a year at $50 a month
with repairs made by the city.
Councilman McAndrew opposed the
of the place under those
conditions. as it would cost $50 a
month during thewinter and s., 900
extra during the year. Nothing
was done in the matter.
Street Superintendent Doyle re-
ported that the pavement had been
relaid and that it was more danger
Gus than when the steps were there.
The matter was referred to the
street committee.
Bills were allowed as follows:
Water works pay rolls 1921
Street pay roll ....... 27s.SO
The finance committee reported
the estimated general receipts OF the
YEAR at $4,000 and water receipts
at $4,000, a total of So, 800, which
is a falling off of 81. 200 on the orig.
inal estimate, and recommended
that So, 900 be transferred from the
water works fund and the street
team be sold, and the $1,000 and
the price realized for the team be
devoted to the Improvements plan
ned on the streets.
