RECEPTION GIVEN ON
LAST FRIDAY EVENING

at the evidence of growth found in
the fact that taxable property has
increased 300 per cent in the last de-
cade; in the magical increase in the
population from 1909 in 1890 to 12,-
900 in 1913. rejoice in the wonder
full physical improvement of Union:
her proud streets and handsome pub
lie buildings; her great mills. re-
Joice that this will shortly be the city
of 100000 spindles; the metropolis OF
almost 5000 looms. The great whir-
ring mart of manufacture in a great
manufacturing section. I rejoice in
all these visible and onward symbols
of progress and prosperity, which to
the world bear witness of the indom-
liable and eternal Union spirit. 1 re-
joice in the visible and constructive
purpose of the people of Union for
the basis of progressive community
is it's people.
"1n theUnion that is, everyone of
us must feel boundless pride, but
deep laid beneath that pride is the
profound hope that the spirit and
genius of the Union that was shall
continue undiminished in the new.
May the spirit of communal charita-
bleness of old Union; its democracy
and brotherhood never pass away.
May its traditional culture always
impart to it's life sweetness and life.
May it always be a city of happy
homes lighted by the most gracious
hospitality. May its noble woman
hood, ever rich in good works, and
its sturdy, honest manhood ever be
ready to defend and maintain the
State, abide with us forever.
"Let US here highly hope that Un-
ions greatest manufacture always
be that of rugged and enduring char
acter founded upon the promise Of
old that they that be wise shall shine
as the glory of the sun and that turn
men to righteousness as the stars
forever and ever"

above the ankle and lacerating the
leg so that it is probable that ampu-

acqualntances, all anxious to hear his

Ihe New Union and the Old" was
Mr.. Rion McKissick's subject. After
discussing the necessity for the prea,
agricultural strides that the South
must make in the next SO years. he
said that Union can and will be pre-
eminent in South Carolina in that al
most super-human endeavor. He
lauded the Confederate soldiers of
Union county as the bravest of the
brave, adding that "at a time like
this in South Carolina when tbere ;s

declared Unions most conspicuous

vice.
Mr.. McKissick paid superlative tri-
bute to the indomitable Union spirit
which has wrought the rehabilitation
of the city and county despite many
calamities.
He outlined a constructive pro-

He said: "In common with all the

fact that though Union is the elev

TELLS CONGRESS OF
NEEDS OF ACADEMY
Superintendent Gibbons Before
Naval Affairs Committee Today.
For SEA WALL EXTENSION.
Appropriation for Relocating Dairy
is Also Asked Of National
Assembly.

Capt. John H. Gibbons, superin-
tendent Of the Naval Academy, went
before the Naval Affairs Committee
of Congress in Washington today.
and told that body just what the Ma
val Academy needs in the way of ap-
preparations tor additional improve
ments, as well as other facilities
within the coming fiscal year.
Accompanying Captain Gibbons
was Commander w. C. Cole, who also
went before the coamittee, and who,
by virtue of his duty as officer in
charge of buildings and grounds at
the institution, was able to give the
nations lawmakers a more intimate
idea of things necessary for the gen
eral welfare of the school
Among the appropriations to be
asked of the present Congress is that
for the extension of the seawall along
the Severn river waterfront, that has
been the subject of much contention
for several years, and funds for the
acquisition of stretch of farm lands
near the Academy for the establish.
ment of permanent dairy.
Just what amount for the seawall
is to be asked is not known. The
wall is not only to be extended around
into Dorsey's creek, so as to com
plete the circuit of the government
reservation, but much of the present
wall, especially in the vicinity of the
powerhouse, is badly in need of re-
pairs.
Several years ago when the wall
was constructed, large stretch of
it settled considerably, due to the
softness of the bottom of the river
bed, and efforts have been made from
year to year 20 secure adequate APP
preparation to rectify the trouble.
1t is expected that che appropriation
will be made by this Congress.
While it has not been so stated
officially, it is gene rally understood
that the plan of the naval officials is
to move the dairy farm from the
site of the old marine camp to site
across Severn river from the Acad-
emy grounds, probably site contigu-
Gus to the government property of
old Fort Madison. The present dairy
is a model one in every particular,
but the site being in too close prox-
unity to the Naval General Hospital,
it is said, has been the cause of many
objections.
One hundred thousand dollars is
the amount of money Congress will
be asked to appropriate for the pur-
poses of the dairy.

GAME WITH NAVY DROPPED,
Washington and jefferson UnabIe to
Find Date for Football.

There will be no Football game be-
tween Washington and Jefferson Col
lege and the middies next fall. The
Navy was dropped from the schedule
Saturday by Manager Robert NJ.
Murphy and letter OF regret sent to
the middie's athletic committee.
Manager Murphy says his schedule
for 1913 is already too heavy for the
team and that he cannot arrange to
take the trip East that a game at the
Naval Academy entails.
Annapolis offered Saturday, Octo-
Der 25, and Saturday. November 10,
as dates Washington and Jefferson
plays Yale on the first date and
will probably have its big game Of
the year on November Is, with Uni
versity Of Pittsburg.
Manager Murphy does not think
it advisable to taks more than one
big Eastern trip, and as the Yale
game is already booked there seems
no chance for the Navy game.
