KELTON NEWS.

kelton, March Awe have had
three or four days without any rain
and the ground Is beginning to dry
out little but it will be some days
before the plows will start for It was
thoroughly soaked. The farmers are
behind in their farm work.
Mr.. Foster Gault has bought an en-
gine and saw mill and will be ready
to saw in a few days. He will do his
first saving at Mr.. Geo. T. Gault's.
see in The State that Gen. Wal
ker, commander of the U. G. ", de-
nies the report that he was going to
do away with the parade at the reun-
ion at Macon in May but says he in
tends to cut 1t short in distance and
to do away with some of the parade
heretofore practiced. l for one am
pleased to know that the commander
is going to make some changes. I
don't see any sense in holding the old
vets an hour or two in the hot sun
waiting for some who are to take part
In the parade to get ready. 1 believe
it was at New Orleans that the pro-
cession was ready to move but had to
wait something like an hour for q
prominent family to get ready. No.
would not have that part Of the re-
union cut out because that day is the
biggest day Of the whole gathering so
let the boys Of the sixties who feel
like marching and viewing the beauti-
full ladies do so because we love to
look at the beautiful girls the same
as we did fifty years ago. There is
one thing 1 hope that the commander
will be able to secure and that is to
get young lady to march with each
one Of US. If he can there will be the
largest number of old vets in the pa
rade that has been seen in many
years.

MORE LIGHT COMES.

Upon reflection we have about
reached the conclusion that The
Times fire was the work of an in
cendiary. There, are several
Straws which point that may. We
have heard of remarks expressive
of JOY that the "d-- thing" was
burned. One worthy CD citizen
of Union said: ut was the best
fire Union ever had" so we hear.
We are not in the least dismayed
by these laments from the dirty
lawbreakers of Union. We are
The Union times. [volume] (Union, S.C.) 1894-1918, 1912-03-08

Our unfortunate fire destroyed the
copy and the type belonging to an in
terview The Times man had with Hon.
Lowndes j. Browning this week. The
article was, we think, well worth go
ing to the readers of The Times. Mr.
Browning was one of the most useful
members of the House of Representa-
tives this year, and the interview re-
ferred to above was in the nature Of
questions upon matters which came
up during the recent meeting Of the
Legislature. We shall make 1T our
business to get another interview with
Mr.. Browning and hope to publish it
next week.
The Union times. [volume] (Union, S.C.) 1894-1918, 1912-03-08

afraid of no one of them or of all
OF them together. We know where
the shoe pinches, and why the
sweet remarks, from such scala
wags.
Now then, let's get down to bus
mess. If the law-abiding citizens
of this town do not stand upon
their legs and fight for honest
government, decency and the en-
forcement of the law, there will
soon be no town left. The condi-
tions are simply intolerable and
what is sure, they will result in the
collapse of the whole thing. We
deliberately and with calm thought
expires our honest conviction upon
these matters. The laaOless element
M this toa,m is in the saddle and
running like runaway horse. 1t
is enough to make the sober-rnind-
ed people call halt. They will
have to do so or go down with the
destruction that threatens. We
purpose standing fearlessly and
openly for truth, honor, clean citi-
zenship, the enforcement of the
law and for everything that is
worth while. We shall, in the flu
ture, as in the past, and against
the blind tiger, the court juggler,
the jury medler, the ballot box
stuffer, and every other damnable
piece of rascality that inhicts its
rottenness upon the honest people
of Union and of Union couny.
Now, Mr.. Good Citizen, don't
think that by standing aside and
taking no hand you will save your
own skin You will be the first
man so stripped This is no time
for wavering and uncertain mien.
Let us come together and set up
our standard and defy the world,
the flesh and the devil. Here's one
who is ready to go the limit, and
that asks permission of no man for
so doing. There are others. The
time for action is already at hand.
A word further: If an incendi-
airy did put the torch to The
Times to get revenge upon the
Edior, the dirty scamp missed the
mark. The man he really struck
is the honest laborer. The calam-
ity that has befallen The Times
will be overcome-it is mere money
and we know how to make more.
But there are two men, one deaf
and dumb, the other up in years
and with family to support that
are left without a job. That
hurts innocent people, even if The
Times Editor were a devil.

THE TINES HAS FIRE.

On Wednesday morning between
four and five o'clock The Times build
ing and practically all it's contents
were destroyed by fire. To say that
we awoke in astonishment and with
regrets is but to put it mildly. Our
plight, looked upon in the cold light
OF early dawn, was not to our liking.
One side of this weeks issue had
gone through the press. All that had
to be reset and the other side, much
Df which had already been set up
ready for the forms had to be done
over. In fact, it was about the worst
in-opportune time we could have
found for the unlucky blow to fall.
But, such as it is, here is your issue
for this. week. That was some hust-
ias-@ gentle reader, II ave do say. IL.
Our contemporary, Progress. came to
our help, and but for that, we conld
not possibly have gotten out on time.
We wish to express to Mr.. Allan
Nicholson, Mr. w. w. Cotton, Mr..
Chambers and Mr.. Smith, all of the
Progress force, our sincere thanks.
Their help, their plant, and the faith
force, helped us over the worst tight
place" we have yet faced. We cannot,
in words, express all the gratitude we
feel to each one for the help rendered.
There is yet another thing: Hun
dreds, men and women, have ex-
pressed sympathy for us in the calam-
ity that has overtaken US. Some by
word OF mouth, some over the phone,
some through the mails-the helpful
words have come to us. 1t Is a real
uplift to feel the sympathy of friends
true and tried, and we will always
hold them in kindly remembrance for
the words of cheer spoken in a dark
hour.
We cannot say how the fire came,
except that it came as thief in the
night We have, on more than one
occasion, had threats made by some
cowardly whelp who did not have the
courage to sign his name. But We do
no believe such base cur would
COIle 10 ~" Us 10 IRE Du1lO1n& ana
thus put in jeopardy the lives Of men
against whom he had no malice. We
do not,therefore, make charge against
some unknown assassin. We sin
ccrely hope there was no one so ut
terly base. We prefer to suppose the
fire accidental.
AS to the future: We expect to get
busy" with a new building and the in
stallation OF a new plant. With the
blessing Of the God whom we serve
and the good will Of the friends we
love and with the courage that any
worthy soul should possess, we will
go forward. We do not propose to
miss an issue, nor to pause a day in
the work Of reconstruction.
We have, as best we could in the
brief time at our disposal, reached the
conclusion that about three thousand
good dollars Of actual loss, and the in
convenience of having to work under
difficulties, is about what we are "up
against" That does not dismay us.

on Wednesday morning. While the
Times building was not saved, the
surrounding property was. The roof
on the Humphries-Perrin Co. was
badly damaged and their store room
was flooded. The small building in

scorched. The Rice Drug Company's

capped with some slight damage to the
