k.E. n Fowler. of Union. Among
Ralders--W. D. Whitmire
SpraInS Ankle.

Constable K. E. N. Fowler
called in The TINES office We'd
nesday and related the story of
the big raid on the moonshiners
of upper Greenville county Mon
day night and Tuesday.
Chief FAINT, of Spartanburg,
phoned Mr.. Fowler, who left here
Monday at 2:1O o'clock, The
crowd of officers, some U. S. rev.
enue officers and the others state
constables,' left Spartanburg
Monday night at about 9 O'Clock,
and reached tt. dark corner
of Greenville at about d in the
morning of Tuesday.
They set to work Immediately
running in every moonshiner
they could find. These could not
be arrested because no proof as
to who operated the stills was
obtainable. However, the off,
GERS did good work in cutting up
the stills and other apparatus for
making whiskey. They cut up
9 stills and emptied out about
1000 gallons of the still beer.
Two negroes were arrested for
transporting contraband whiskey
they had about 25 gallons of the
pure dew"
A company of officers came
from Greenville to assist the
Spartanburg crowd in their raid.
In this crowd was Mr.. w. D..
Whitmire, of Union, who has
been spending some time at his
former home in Greenville. Dur
ing the night Mr.. Whitmire in
some way, fell and received pain
full injuries in his leg. He was
carried back to Greenville and
will likely be confined for some
tine.
The officers came back to Spar
tanburg at 4 o'clock Tuesday.
This was quick work; in about
,fwenty-four hours a blow was
dealt the moonshiners that they
will not soon forget. The dark
corner is notorious section.

Mr.. GlLlIAIM'S BOND.
S5.OO0...By Agreement Between So.
IlCitOr Sease and Attorney De.
PdSS-AmOunt Fixed.

On Monday. release was Sc
cured for Mr.. w. R. Gillian, who
was being held for the murder of
Nose Hughes. No application
was made to Judge Prince at all,
it being simply a swap between
Solicitor Sease and V. E. DePass,
counsel for Gillian. According
to law, the solicitor has the right
to detain prisoner four days on
any charge, before application
for bond is heard.
Mr.. DePass, wishing an early
release for Mr.. Gillian called on
Solicitor Sease and they effected
an agreement. The solicitor not
being able to wait and hear all
that might be brought out per-
tanning to the case. agreed to re-
lease the prisoner, provided a
large bond was, given; large
sum being required in order to
protect the State against any ev-
idence that might later come out.
Mr.. DePass agreed to give any
amount desired by the Solicitor,
so the sum of $4,000 was agreed
upon. Mr.. Ghliam's bondsmen are
Messrs. W.eT. Jones, of Santuc;
T. K. Palmer and Farr Gillian,
of Union, end L. J. In,wHi.4g, &C
Sedalia. This is probably the
largest bond given in Union
county for many years.

MISS NANCE LECTURES.
Lecture to County Summer School,
County Association ORGANIZED.

Miss Mary F. Nance, of Able.
vile, S. G. President of the
Woman's Association for the i'm.
provement of Rural schools in
South Carolina, lectured before
the teachers of the Union County
Summer School, Monday morn
ing at 11:30 o'clock. Her sub
ject was what the name of the
association implies, and she talked
ably and at length on the various
ways by which the rural schools
might be improved.
Miss Nance urged the planting
of trees on the school grounds,
the building of good fences and
the keeping up of good appear
ance surrounding the schools
The cultivation of the aesthetic
taste in children, she said, was
one of a teachers most import
ant duties, and to this end she
should do everything in her pow
er to beautify school rooms, such
as nursing pot plants, hanging
wall pictures and the like. Bare
walls were things of the past.
And, she showed the great need
of a library and how easily and
cheaply it might be secured.
The association of which Miss
Nance is president was organized
at Winthrop college in 1902, Miss
Frances Whitmire, of Greenvnle,
who is one of Unions teachers
at present, being elected first
president. The object of
the association is to organize ef-
fort for the improvement of
country schools, and they desire
to enlist the support and cooper
alton of every lady teacher in
South Carolina. To do this, coun-
ty associations are being organ
lied all over the State.
At the conclusion of her lee
ture, Miss Nance organized a
Union county division of the as
sociaticn. Mrs. Cora Murphy
was elected president; Mrs. Nan
ME Moore Linder. vice president;
Miss Mary V. Gregory, of San
tue, secretary; and Miss Beulah
Edge, treasurer. Eighteen mem
bers were enrolled at this meet
ing. Any other ladies may be-
come members on application;
no fees required, except for as
sociate members, who are re-
quired to pay one dollar. 1t is
desired and hoped that every
teacher in Union county will be-
come a member of this associa-
ton.
The meetings of the county as
sociations are held semi i-annually

$50.000 SHORTAGE IN UNION
BUILDING & LOAN ASSOCIATION.
$4,000 May Be Recovered From
Surety COmpany-Expert Young
Left Wednesday.

Expert F. L. Young left We'd
nesday morning for Atlanta,
having completed his work on
the books of w. w. Hughes,
treasurer of the Union Building
and Loan Association. He car
ried with him all his papers to
be approved by the home office
of the American Audit Co. This
company never issues statements
on the basis of its experts work
until it has been verified and ap-
proved at the home office. Con-
sequently it will be the first part
of next week before the papers
are sent back to Union.
On reliable authority we have
it that the shortage will amount
to $50, 900 or thereabouts. The
matter of the treasurer's bonds
has been submitted to competent
attorneys, who give out the
opinion that indemnity to the
amount of $4,000 can be COL
lected. And Mr.. Young, who
also understands thoroughly the
bond contracts, states that the
Surety company is liable for this
amount, which covers losses for
nine years according to the way
these continued bonds run.
With this, it is seen, that the
stockholders will receive about
fifty cents on the dollar.
AS soon as the papers are re-
turned from Atlanta, which will
be Monday or Tuesday, a meet
ing of the directors will be held.
Notices will then be sent to each
stockholder, stating the day and
hour when the stockholders S
meeting will be held, and when
his or her series will be taken
up. At this meeting the report
will be read in detail, giving all
the figures.
Tho people of Union have been
impatient, and on many sides
criticisms have been heard on the
length of time taken to go over
the books. But when it is learn
ed that there were five series to
check up, number four being
twelve years old, number five
nine years old, and so on, making
in all an aggregate of thirty-seven
years, the cause of delay becomes
evident.
Mr.. Young, in speaking of his
work, said he had no idea of the
magnitude of it when he came;
if he had he would have brought
an assistant.
II have worked all day and
half the nights for thirty-four
days." said Mr.. Young, land l
am about broken down. My
eyes have been severely taxed in
this work. {"
Mr.. Young stated the defalca-
tions began eight years ago.

turned with English Monday

prisoner came very willingly and,
Indeed, seemed glad to see him.
He talked very little on the way,
remarking only that it was good

catch him while he had his gun.
