BRAIN LEAKS

And some people are too intellect
ual to be intelligent.
Dyspepsia is the mother of many
disagreeable disposition.
1t sometimes happens that the vic
tory is not worth the price.
Even color blind man can tell a
greenback when he sees it.
An excellent way to fatter wo-
man is to keep still and listen.
A wonder lasts nine days-but a
woman's curiosity goes on forever
There's more power in woman's
tears than there is mans argu-
ment.
Most old bachelors are hard to
please: they don't even think girl
baby is fit to kiss until she is sweet
sixteen.
A fat man would rather get fatter
than go hungry, but it is different
with FIT woman.
You can climb pretty high in the
world, but you never get so high that
you are above suspicion.

LETTER FROM ONE OF
UNIONS SOLDIER BOYS

Editor of The Union Times:
Dear Sir:-Doubtless you will be
surprised to hear from me, but viii
endeavor to give a short description
of the Hawaiian Islands or Island, as
| haven't had time to visit any of the
other Islands yet, but am going to
visit them sometime in the near fut-
ure. l am now in the service of Uncle
Sam at Schofield Barracks, stationed
twenty-five miles northwest of the
city of Honolulu. We have one of
the prettiest reservations of any post
in the service. The Hawaiian Islands
are claimed by numbers of travelling
people to be the garden spot of the
world. 1t is a land of fruit and
flowers and is possessed of the most
beautiful scenery. The Wyani noun
tain range that extends through the
Islands from which we claim our
beautiful scenery, contains canyons
thousands of feet deep. Many peaks
and cliffs which are thousands of
feet high, and everywhere you look
are, covered with fiowers and many
HI.dSN%as aid fruit. s''''- t'"-t -7-~-
Ihe Islands have very little game,
excepting a few mountain goats,
wild hogs and pheasants. There has
been a reward of thousand dollars
to the person finding a snake on the
Islands. There is not poisonous
insect of any kind on the Island, so
you see the Hawaiian differ in that
respect from her own United States.
The laws here are about the same
as in our States. There is only three
degrees difference in winter and sum-
mer here. There is always pleasant
breeze at night which makes the eli
mate delightful.
The population of Honolulu is DC
tween seventy-five and a hundred
thousand inhabitants; one of the lar
gest hotels in the city of Honolulu
cities of its size on the globe. 1t has
all kinds of sports and amusements
for both young and old l wish very
much that some of the people from
dear old South Carolina, and especi-
ally Union, and Union county could
visit the Islands and see for them
selves what | am trying to tell them.
love the States, but |. think Homo
lulu is the place of places for me. I
still have several months here and
then am going to transfer to China
for couple of years before returning
home. When / can have time to
visit the other Islands will try and
write you something about them in
long piece for your highly esteemed
paper.
Will close and go for moonlight
strool up the mountain trail and
think of the folks at home To anv
of my friends wishing to write me,
my address is Honolulu, II. l., Scho-
field Barracks, Co. L., First Infantry.
Will be glad to hear from anyone
wishing to write. If this does not
make the acquaintance of your waste
basket will write again sometime.
Respectfully,
Yancey w. Bobo.

BASEBALL AT f. X. MILLS

The Excelsior Knitting Mills and
Jonesville teams crossed bats at Ex-
celsior park Saturday and in fast
and snappy game the E. X. Mill
team defeated Jonesville to 0.
Spencer was in the box for Jones'
vile and pitched good ball, but his
support gave way in the second in
ming and the Knitters scored runs.
Kirby, for the Knitters, was in fine
form and Jonesville could do nothing
with him. The Knitters have a fast
team and are playing good ball.
Batteries for Jonesville: Spencer
and Gait, for E. X. Mill: Kirby and
Lamb.

A STATEMENT

The following signed statement has
been given The Times by Mr.. H.
Goldstein:
Please allow me space in your pa
per to correct an error and in fact
an absolute falsehood that is being
told on me. 1t is rumored that
took the remains of Abraham Guisin-
ger to Columbia for interment in the
Jewish cemetery, which is correct.
On my arrival in Columbia | was to
take the body to the Jewish Syna-
gogue where the Rabbi was to hold
services, and upon being asked by the
Rabbi as to what Mr.. Guisinger was
dressed in | told him black suit
of clothes. 1t is customary for Jews
to be dressed in white linen suits,
therefore I had to carry out the in
structions of the Rabbi.
The report in circulation in Union
is that I bought a cheap coffin for
Mr. Guisinger and put his remains in
that and sold the handsome casket
which cost $3.50 for a good amount.
and pocketed the difference This is
all falsehood and the following af-
fidavit will bear me out in this state
ment:

was washed and dressed in linen. af-
