Fighting Around Anos
Is Exceedingly Severe
Bp .4SSocfntcd Prcss

London, oct. 13, 3.11 a. m-The
Daily Mails correspondent sends a
dispatch dated Sunday behind the
French left wing. He gives interest
ing news Of the conditions prevailing
in this field of operations and says
that since Thursday conditions for the
allies changed for the worse, then
again for the better. and that their po-
sition at the time of sending the dis
patch was stronger than ever. 1t
would be absurd, however for that
reason to say they are negligible. On
the contrary they are still capable of
giving great trouble.

Petty Stealing at
Bayview Park.

The Journals attention has been di-
rected to the complaint that petty
thieving has been going on at Bay
view Park, particularly in the public
DRESSING room Of the bathing pavilion.
The park authorities keep q close
watch OF the place. but those in charge
cannot Of course see all that is going
on and the fact that there should be
any guests at the place who are guilty
OF stealing is a matter that is regret
ted by the park management as well
as by the public
It Is understood now that a very
close watch Is being kept and should
any more stealing be attempted the
thief or thieves will be summarily
dealt with.
Bayview Park Is the city's play
ground. All Glasses of people, rich
and poor, alike go there and enjoy
the shade, the cool breezes, and the
superb bathing. It should be kept
free from all undesirable characters
and from such acts as have recently
been complained OF. It is practically
certain now that the next time any
stealing Is attempted, some arrests will
be made at once.

The Free Pass as
a Railroad Pass.

Here is the way the ST Louis Post
Dispatch looks at the railroad law
breaking and discrimination as re-
vealed by the Interstate Commerce
Commission:
New proof that the railroads can't
or won't learn to obey the law is
given In the Interstate Commerce
Commissions report to the senate on
passes issued last year by the Louis
Vile & Nashville Railroad.
The company gave out free passes
worth over $4,000 to federal and
state officials, sheriffs and judges. edi-
tors and anybody else who might be
able to help in court or in politics.
The commission properly declares
these citizens sell their influence
quite as much as If they accepted
money bribes.''
Federal law forbids interstate use
OF free passes, and many states for
bid use of intrastate passes. Yet it
Is notorious that thousands Of men
travel up and down the country on
free ANNALS" given by all or nearly
all Of the railroads
Not all of these pass packers are
politicians. Many are commercial
travellers, using passes supplied by
their employers. Issuance of free
passes to their employers is essenti-
ally a violation of the law forbidding
rebates. although courts whose Judges
are riding on free passes might con-
strue II as a permissible evasion of
the law.
Senator Lea, at whose initiative the
facts in the case of the Louisville 6,
Nashville were brought to light, should
not stop with exposing the road which
is fighting him in his home politics.
He can perform a valuable public SER
vice by pressing for the exposure of
like illegal and morally vicious prac-
tees INDUCED by every road that is
guilty of them.
At a time when the railroads are
demanding to be allowed to levy an
additional $3.50, 100000 yearly of in
creased freight charges, the people are
entitled to know whether the roads
need that money because they are
honestly hard up or because they have
wasted their resources in illegal prac-
tees
But 1t should not be forgotten that
thousands of passes are issued which
do not appear in the lists reported by
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
Under the law, the railroads may issue
passes to their employees. This may
be all right so far as their regular,
salaried, bona fide employees are con-
cerned, but in nearly every county,
town, or city. the railroad has an at
torney or a physician. or both, whose
yearly retainer consists of railroad
pass for himself and family. He is

LEGISLATION COVERING
ENTRANCE OF HINDUS
The Union times. [volume] (Union, S.C.) 1894-1918, 1914-03-20

Many of our subscribers have sent
in their renewal in response to our
appeal recently sent out. We beg
that each one who has not yet re-
Snpnded will do so at once. We are
anxious to get in position to give to
he people Of Union county a paper
worthy of them. One of the chlel
hindrances has always been our stern
poverty. 1t takes so much time to
look after the matter of money to
'un the enterprise that we have not
been able to do our best work in the
making of paper. If every man and
woman on our mailing list would pay
up what is due we would be in good
shape. The aggregate of all these
small amounts would give us the cap
al we need to get in condition to
do good work. Kind reader, will you
not let us have your renewal? Sit
down at once and write us letter
enclosing your remittance for re-
newal 1t will help us and still be
a very small tax upon you.

1t is with no small degree of salts
faction that we send out this issue of
The Times. Our readers will agree
with us that the paper is valuable
one this week. The strong features
are: live news service, splendid
showing on the part of our corrc-
spondents and, more than all else. a
tribute to faithful soldier of the
Confederate army. This latter feat
ure we felt would best serve our
readers if given in one issue instead
of being drawn out through several
weeks. We, therefore, doubled the
size of the paper, and present the
whole story this week.
Union county is rich in historical
treasures. What we have done in
presenting the sketch of Major Steed-
man is a sample of what we intend
to do from time to time in present
ing other equally interesting events
of our treasured past.
To make good citizens, citizens
worthy of the rich inheritance left
them, our children must not be al
lowed to forget the splendid achieve
ments of their fathers. Every illus
trious citizen, every man and woman
whose life was worthy of emulation
should be held in reverence by the
children of today. When we forget
to cherish the memory of our noble
lead, we have lost one of the chief
inspirations to worthy living.
Nailed in strong boxes, carefully
stored away, we have an almost per-
feet file of The Times from the year
of it's birth, 1850 up to the present
time. 1t is the EDITORS intention to
open up these strong boxes at some
future day, and thus bring to light
many events of our past history. The
fire of March 1912, did not destroy
our files.
At first we feared it had done that
very thing; but with what we could
gather from the wreck and with what
reconstruction we could bring to pass
from other sources, we have now a
cry nearly complete file. 1t is one
# our most priced possessions, and
we intend to make it of great value
the people of this county. We
have not drawn upon this source for
rich material presented in this
weeks paper. We are indebted to
Mrs. B. G.. Clifford and to the sur
living sister Of Major Steedman, Mrs.
Mcdowell, for the most of the story
as given to our readers.
The Union times. [volume] (Union, S.C.) 1894-1918, 1914-03-20

lima. This weeks issue of the paper
will, we predict, fall into many hands
of people who will file away the pa
per and keep it for years and years
to come.
Among the papers furnished us
for this article, is brief letter writ
ten by his cousin, Richard r. Yeadon,
a distinguished lawyer of his time.
This brief note is dated at Charles
ton, s. c., Nov. %, 1856-just six
years after the Unionville Times had
come into existence and now So years
ago.
On Jan. 7, 1857 the following note
of introduction from this distinguish
ed lawyer was addressed to another
distinguished citizen of Union-Dr.
Thomson, introducing young Steed-
man, who was, at that time coming
to Union to locate for the practice
of the legal professions:
Charleston, Jan. z, 1857"

"My dear Thomson: Allow me in
introduce to your acquaintance and
kindly attention my young cousin,
James b. Steedman, Esq, who is
about to begin the practice of law
and his career as a lawyer in your
village and circuit. Pray introduce
him generally and be assured that
any Kindness to him, on your part,
will be duly appreciated by

Steedman. o.,

"At a meeting of the Session of the
Unionville Presbyterian church, held
March 29th, 1885, notice being given
Of the death of Elder James B.. Steed-
man, the following resolutions were
adopted:
"1st. In the sad dispensation of
Gods providence which occurred on
February 3rd, 1885, we recognize
still the goodness of Him who doeth
all things well; believing that our
brother, who has for more than twen-
ty-two years labored so we'll in the
Church below, has but been called to
his place and his reward in the
Church above.
"2nd. We do hereby bear willing
testimony to his correct Christian
character; that he was faithful in
the performance of duty, liberal in
the support of the work of the Church
and earnest in his efforts to promote
the cause of Christ; and that we who
were his co-laborers, feeling the loss
of his counsels and his aid, do ear
nestly pray that God would give to
us double portion of his SPIRIT.
"3rd. We will set apart a page in
our Minute Book with a suitable in
scription in to his memory"
