Bootlegger Raided.

Lee Wicker, who has been citizen
of Union City off and on for several
years, decamped last week post haste
fer Cairo when the danger signal was
turned on by some OF his sentries. Mr..
Wicker has been stationed at the old
Murphy blacksmith shop for some time.
His family was in little home not far
from Byrn s grocery store on Try street,
where operations in bootlegging were
carried on. Some time ago, before the
Brackin Hotel fire, the old hotel was
raided when Wicker was in charge. He
had bootleg whiskey and kept rough
house. Finally the Mayor went over
and made a personal raid, with the as
sistance Of some OF his officers. Wicker
left. His next appearance in Union
City was as a blacksmith with very lit
tie of anything that looked like black
smithing. His conduct has been mat
ter of gossip for some time, until last
Saturday when Esq. s. r. Bratton was
summoned to the telephone. This time
a well known Main street lady had taken
the matter in hand, and she told Mr..
Bratton that she had find for him. Mr..
Bratton went to work, but the Constable
was gone, and before he could get the
Sheriff, Mr.. Finch, who is crippled with
rheumatism, to come. the bootlegger's
had given him the signal
and be left at once.
A raid was made on the house, and
eight or ten gallons of whiskey were
found. Sunday evening the house
caught fire and burned down in few
minutes. A quantity of pint bottles
we're found underneath.

Friends. Teachers and SchooImates:
To be chosen by my schoolmates to
offer our Thanksgiving address is a COM
pliment to me that is highly appreci-
ated, and my only regret is that ] fear
Tor my ability to reach the mark they
NAV expect OF me. However, as they
have elected me to this post OF honor,
Il shall be my duty and pleasure to full
fill il in the best possible way can.
In our thanksgiving to Almighty God
for his numerous blessings to us during
the past year lin fact all our lives) l
hardly know which we reckon as the
greatest. The first is to be permitted
in living in this grand and beautiful
world, and one OF my blessings is my
kind and good parents Especially my
mother, the sweetest name on earth is
motherf And we, as pupils, can not
be too thankful for our fine schools and
excellent teachers, who are thus engaged
in such noble work, thus giving charac-
ter and direction to the mortal mind.
There is no more honorable calling than
yours. The wisest and best men whose
names are inscribed upon the worlds
history in characters OF living light
have been teachers, such as our present
President Woodrow Wilson. | have
not words in my vocabulary that are
adequate to express our love and admi-
ration for our teachers, and especially
our very efficient principal, Professor
Mute, for bringing up this school to the
high standard it possesses at the present
time. Oh, how sweet to stand by the
stream OF the. fount OF knowledge and
drink deep, as Pope would say, of its
.limpid watersl May the star Of Union
City public school never grow pale, but
brighter and brighter glow through each
succeeding year. Another blessing we
should be thankful for is the health and
prosperity Of our city, which it is enjoy
ing at the time. Then we should be
thankful for our fine churches and in
creased membership during the past
year, and pardon me for mentioning
the beautiful editice recently erected by
our good people Of Union City, one that
does credit 10 the untiring devotion and
energy 81 the members, who have
spent 50 much OF their time and money
10 build the beautiful church where we
can assemble to offer up our praise and
thanksgiving for all we possess, or hope
for in this life or the one to come.
Now We all should be thankful that our
people are 50 energetic and capable and
good; Tor they are truly the best people

Killed by Logs at Mengel Factory.
Sam Williams, age SO years, met a
tragic death at the Mengel Box Factory
in this city about 8 O'Clock Thursday
afternoon.
He was employed in the capacity Of
unloading the logs which the crane on
the big galloway carried to the unload
ing platform at the door OF the mill.
The crane bad just brought in load
and Williams and his co-helpers were in
the act OF getting them straight for
cording when his spike pole handle
broke. This caused him to pitch for
ward. The backward swing Of the logs,
which have a motion similar to a clock
pendulum while suspended in the air,
caught him in the side or hips with
crushing blow, from which he died a
few minutes later. His companions
say il he had just dropped to his hands
and knees when the handle broke, be
would have escaped unframed, but this
didn't occur TO the unfortunate man.
He never gained consciousness after the
accident.
Out OF long list Of casualties, this
is the first one to prove fatal at the

one Of those unavoidable accidents; i'll

The sale of the Allen property at Pin
son last Saturday was success from
every view point. This land was sold
by the Meadow-Manley Auction Co.,
with Mr.. Manley as the auctioneer.
They had advertised the sale extensively
which secured good crowd.
This was a great day for Pinson and
is the beginning Of the dawn OF new
day for that enterprising little town.
We doubt very seriously whether or not
this land could have been sold privately
in several years. There was band mu-
sic, good barbecue, FIVE cent lunches
under tho direction OF the High School,
and basket ball game in which Pinson
was victorious.
A large number Of Chester County

interest in the welfare OF the little city
by purchasing some of the lots of the
addition. We feel an interest in Pin
son and its people for it is near us and
is a splendid neighbor, progressive

enough will never be said and certain
y enough will never be done in regard
to the cow-pea. 1t is the "sHmmum
bonum" of legumes, soil builders and
hay producers. Well our farmers
know all this Latin and English, but
they do not plant half the peas they
ought to- Then they do not save one
tenth of the peas they should. We
say. why did you not put peas in your
corn?" Well, I wanted to, but peas
were too high" Did you ever hear the
like and from a farmer? Now we
were down to see Colonel Peek last
week and we learned how to settle
this cow-pea question. He plants a
row early down the middle of each
corn row. He plows there as he plows
his corn. When laying-by the corn
he sows a bushel of cowpeas broadcast
along the rest OF the middle; now
you see these late sowings are simply
to turn under to improve the land

out for seed, and adding $3.50 worth
of fertility to his soil and filling his
