Day.
; GREAT SUCCESS
Tuesday was Hospital Rally Day
in Union and $4,000 Were
Realized, Which Makes a To-
tai of $5, 500 For This Worthy
Institution.

The committee under whose direc-
tion the campaign for funds to build
a hospital for Union, did most excel
lent work Tuesday, which was "Hos-
pital Day" in Union. The various
committees at work throughout the
county have not yet been heard from,
but the work in Union resulted in
cash and subscriptions aggregating
more than $4,000. The battle waged
throughout Tuesday and even yet the
work is going on. 1t is an assured
fact that the hospital will be built
and that, too, at an early day. The
good results attained were the result
of having thoroughly organized COM
mittees, and the cause being Just
what it is, purely humanitarian en-
terprlse. There are many who have
promised to make a donation later
and there are many throughout the
county who will give one or more
dollars to this noble cause.
The enterprise now has a lot. which
is paid for, 5000 in money previously
raised by the ladies and $4,000 raised
Tuesday, with many workers yet to
be heard from. This looks like sue
cess, but the good work must be
pressed yet further. A snug sum was
realized Tuesday night from the NOV
ing picture show. Mrs. Storm allowed
the performance to go to the benefit
o fthe hospital fund.

"I have read Governor Bleases re-
lease to me, if may so call it, under

sation as confidential, and it re-

Blease told me a lie, which is of

and national always an out-spoken
Democrat and never failing to vote.
A great reader of the newspapers and
well informed on the issues dividing
the political parties. He was what
might be termed an intelligent voter.
He was always strong for his friends
who aspired for office but would
take none himself, though painstak-
ing and In many respects a compe-
tent man. He was member of the
Baptist church and was strong in his
religious views or belief, still there
was that abiding charity in his heart
that made pr dice foreign to his ma
ture. He was temperate in all things
and had no patience with an extre-
mist. He was man of peace, for

aware of the approaching end, till he
drew near the dread abode Of man.
the grave, then the end came and he
seemingly passd from earth to the
Great Beyond without "a struggle
with naught against any man. Just a
short while before he died he called
all his children to his bedside and
told them to meet him in heaven. AS
neighbor he was kind and obliging,
as citizen he was aggressive in his
spirit and unselfish in his aim; as a
soldier he placed his life on his
country's altar and kept it there until
the struggle was ended. The funeral
services were conducted at the Meth
odist church, by his pastor, Rev. II. +.
Hill assisted by Rev. J. F .Matheson,
pastor of the Presbyterian church at
Union, and ID. ID. Jones, of the Meth
odist church at Buffalo. Short eulo-
gies were delivered on his beautiful
life and many virtues. His remains
were inferred in Putman's Baptist
church yard, Saturday morning, and
the high esteem in which he was held
was evinced by the large and sorrow
stricken concoUrse that attended his
funeral. We commend the good and
heart-stricken wife and children to
Him who doeth all things well, and
console themselves with the sweet
thought that their loss is his eternal
gain.

challenge to permit him to make pub
lie statements of Blease which would
show the governor hypocrit in
posing as the great champion of
white supremacy and enemy of social
equality between negroes and white
people, and hypocrite in posing as
the foe of the corporations, John p.
