from generation to generation con-
corning the achievements of these
early settlers as they battled against
the forces of nature, building for
themselves rude houses of logs, with
stick and clay chimneys. The cracks
between the logs of the houses being
filled with sticks of timber and daub-
ed inside and out with mud. A few
old houses of that style are still
standing, serving as reminders to the
present generation of the primitive
maner in which their forefathers liv-
ed. Little is known of their social life
in those early days before the Revolu-
tionary war, beyond the fact that
they were devoted to each others well
fare. Uniting first for protection,
their organization was soon cemented
together by the bonds of affection.
The moral and intellectual welfare of
the future generations seemed to have
been thought of and provided for
from the first.
Those early settlers must have
been mostly Presbyterians, for in all
probability the first church building
that was erected in the upper part of
Union county was a little Presbyter
ian chapel, only a few miles from
West Springs on the eastern bank of
Fair Forest creek. Several years la
ter Putnam Baptist church was built
and then later on after the country
had become more thickly settled Bo-
gansville Methodist church was built.
The first building was a little log
house about one-fourth of mile
north of where the present handsome
church building stands.
If there was ever a school taught
anywhere in this immediate section
before the Revolutionary war, no rec
objection or trace of it remains. Cap

factory operating 12,762 spindles and
$40 looms with daily output of 1880
yards of cloth. Brick are now being
manufactured for $4,000 spindle
factory to be erected in the near fu-
ture.
There are five beautiful churches,
Methodist, Episcopal, Baptist, Pres
byterian and Roman Catholic whose
devout congregations happily bespeak
the moral and Christian-like atmos-
phere that pervades the town. The
Methodist and Episcopal churches,
the court house and the Jail are built
of granite dug from native quaries,
the quality of which is second only
to that obtained from the famous
granite beds of Fairfield.
Union has always fostered educa-
tlon with pride and admiration that
httingly becomes the intelligence and
refinement which have ever character
lied her citizens. AS typical emblems
of progress in this as we'll as other
respects, she has lately erected
graded school building, description of
which is given on another page, in
and less recently, the we'll known
Clifford Seminary which is doing SO
much toward the education of the
Palmetto States daughters.
"The place has three livery stables,
two beef markets, buggy and wagon
factory and several shoe and black
smith shops.
"The rural districts surrounding
Union are dotted by the homes of
thrifty farmers who find the county
seat ready market for their prod
ucts, especially cotton.

ton, her fine schools, excellent water,
balmy air and delightful climate en-

OF UNION SCHOOLS

the summit of one of the foot hills of

forest and the home of the pioneer
began to rear itself in the midst of

"At the close of the eighteenth
century the county seat was moved
from Pinckney to Union, the latter
being more centrally located, and in
1900 the first court was held. In the
year 1911 we find only one store and
three dwellings scattered over the
present site of Union. The old Court
House and Jail were built in 1923.
"In those pioneer days the different
congregations at first worshipped in
one meeting house which they erected
upon the eminence now occupied by
the cemetery. From this union house
of worship the name was afterward
given to the embryo of the present
place.
"But we must leave the historic
and romantic past and take glance
at the Union of today, model seat
of culture, progress and improvement

for centuries lay dormant, now echo

RUM0RS OF TRIPLE
MARRIAGE At WHITE
HOUSE STIR CAPITAL
Miss Eleanor and Miss Margaret
Wilson and Cousin Of President
May Wed at Same Time

Washington. d. c.. March 16.-The
possibility of a double. perhaps a
triple, wedding at the White House
in June is the topic with which all
Washington society to-day entertained
itself
Miss Eleanor Wilson is to marry
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo.
Announcement of the engagement of
Miss Margaret Wilson, eldest daugh-
ter of the President, to Boyd Fisher,
of New York and Princeton. is ex-
pected. Finally there is strong
rumor that Miss Helen Woodrow
Bones. cousin of the President, is en-
gagged to DIR. Cary Grayson, United
States Navy, the Presidents friend
and physician.
If these anticipatons are realized, 1t
Is expected that the three weddings
will take place at one time in the
White House. Miss Bones has made
her home with the Presidents family
ever since Mr.. Wilson has been in the
White House.
Such an event would, of course,
smash all precedent. Nor has there
ever been a President who had the
honor of having three of his daughters
married in the White House.
Washington sightseers were on the
alert to catch a glimpse of the four
teenth White House bride and bride
groom elect. A crowd gathered around
the Central Presbyterian Church.
where, 1t was said, Miss Wilson and
Secretary McAdoo would attend church
together. but when the White House
car rolled up it contained only the
President and Miss Margaret and Miss
Eleanor.
After luncheon Secretary McAdoo
passed a short time at the White
House. He left in White House car.
accompanied by his fiancee. and they
took tea with Mr.. and Mrs. Francis
McAdoo. son and daughter-in-law of
the secretary.
Further details of the Wilson
McAdoo romance are coming to light.
An interesting feature is found in the
gossip that the 50-year- old Secretary
of the Treasury won his bride despite
the long and ardent attentions of a
Princetonian. When the Wilson fam
lily was at Pass Christian in January
the Princeton man made one of the
party and was Miss Eleanors constant
escort there and at the Mardi Gras
gaieties. Thereafter he disappeared
from the equation.
Propinquity is said to have been q
factor in the match. At the state din.
ners and functions, and at the White
House, the Attorney General and Sec
retary McAdoo, being the bachelors of
the Cabinet. were constantly paired off
with the White House young ladies,
and most of the time Secretary
McAdoo was Miss Wilson's dinner
partner.
