Large Audience Hears Will ID. lpshaw
Lecture on STAINLESS Flag
for America.

On Monday evening IN the high
school auditorium at JOneSville Will
y. Upshaw. "The Georgia Cyclone" "
delivered an address to a full house
upon the subject, "a Stainless Flag
for America" Close attention was
given the speaker throughout his ad-
dress, which abounded in wit. logic
and pathos.
During the address the following
resolution was introduced by Rev. Mr..
Porter, pastor of the Presbyterian
church: Resolved, That we most re-
spectfulIy request our representatives
in the legislature to use their influ-
ence and their vote to enact law
that will secure for our State the real
prohibition that our people have twice
voted for at the polls"
At the close of the address another
resoiution-a bit stronger-was intro
duced by Rev. w. Il. Justus, pastor of
the Methodist church. as follows: Gre
solved. That it is the sense of this
audience that we desire nothing less
than bone dry prohibition for the Pal
metto State. the great State Of South
Carolina. and the same for all the 48
States Of the Union, her territories
and dependencies. and for the whole

after first submitting same to the
qualified voters composing said munic-
ipality, for the purpose of construct
ing, maintaining and extending cleo
trio light and water works and sew
erage systems of said municipality.
saw the mayor and city council that
same evening, at my hotel, after the
Legislature had adjourned, between 10
and II o'clock, and told them what l
had found out, and 1 said, "Now, the
only thing for you to do is to issue
bonds on basis Of maintaining and ex-
tending your electric light and water
works systems" Mr.. Wharton, the
mayor, said he was sure he could get
the commissioners of public works to
join in with the council, and get the
issue of bonds desired. The mayor
and entire council seemed much
pleased over the situation. On the
following morning, according to ap-
pointment, the delegation from the
City of Union met the Union county
delegation to the legislature in my
committee room at the State house. |
showed the law regarding the issue of
bonds to both Messrs. Hughes and
Hamblin; then asked council for their
request in writing to the delegation
to arrange bond issue in line with
the law governing said issue, which
they gave, signed by mayor and all
the council, and Mr.. Arthur, as clerk
Mr.. Lybrand was absent, as before
stated, on account of sickness of his
child, but l<r. Wharton said he would

he would support the bill, and 1 then
turned to Mr.. Hughes, and said, "Mr.
Hughes, have some matters in house
likely to come up any moment, and
must leave you gentlemen, but 1 wish
to know now, while these gentlemen
are here, will you support bill, as they
wish it, and as their request in writ

house of representatives, and saw
nothing more of the party from Union.
On last Thursday, after bill on bond
issue had come up for a second read
ing in the house, | received a tele-
gram from Mayor Wharton, asking me
to hold up bill. On Friday morning
following, early, received telephone
call from City Clerk Arthur at my

He then stated that Mayor Wharton

DEATH OF MRS. w. M. CARTER

Lockhart, Feb. 10.-Mrs. w. M. Car
ter, former resident of Chester
county, was found dead in bed at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. w. A.
Ross, of Lockhart, on Sunday morn
ing, February a. Mrs. Carter was II
years of age, and is survived by seven
children, one brother and two sisters.
Her daughters are Mrs. w. A. Ross.
Mrs. j. T. Baldwin, Miss Rhoda Car
ter of Lockhart, Mrs. z. T. Collins
of Chester, Mrs. J. P. Pendergrass of
Noxapeter, Miss, and two sons, Mr..
Ed. Carter of Chester county, and Mr..
j. j. Carter of Noxapeter, Miss.
Mrs. Carter's husband was a Vet
eran of the Civil war. He died in
1904. They were residents of Chester
county up to this time. Since his
death Mrs. Carter has lived with her
children. Our hearts go out in sympa-
thy to the bereaved family, and we
feel that one has gone from our midst
who was true model of the Christian
life. Mrs. Carter's life was consistent.
The effect of her devoted life may not
be estimated at present; but surely
the consecrated, godly life of this, our
beloved sister, shall be stream of
influence that shall multiply in effect,
until it may be said Of her that the
world is better by her having lived in
it.
The funeral services were held on
Monday, Feb. 5, at the Brushy Fork
Baptist church, of Chester county.

NOTHING RIIT THE TRUTH.
Continued from page one)

Hughes, Hamblin, and myself, met the
gentlemen above named in my commit
tee-room at the State house about 6
o'clock that same evening, as I had
they reached Columbia.
After the gentlemen from Union
had stated to- the delegation what they
came for. the Union delegation,
Messrs. Hughes, Hambin and myself,
unanimously agreed, without any dis
cussion, that no bonds could be issued
upon an per cent. basis of property
valuation, except to an amount so
small that it would not be sufficient to
meet all requirements.
told the meeting that there was a
way by which bonds could be issued,
that we had seen 4 bill along that line,
but as our committee clerk was absent,
| could noe explain just the method or
mode to be pursued, until the house
net that evening, when I would see
Mr.. Thomas Cothran, of my commit
tee, and give; the gentlemen the in
formation. That was all that occurred
at that meeting, and we agreed to
meet the next morning at 10 o'clock
when / would report the result of my
Investigations as to how bonds could
be issued. L saw Mr.. Cothran at 8
o'clock in the afternoon of the day
stated l would. and found that there
was an amendment to the State Con-
stitutlon giving any municipality the
right to issue bonds to any amount

Mr.. Wharton came to Columbia on
Friday, and brought with him Mr..
Macbeth Young. 1 saw Mr.. Young
for not more than five minutes at
State house, with Mr.. Wharton, and
Mr.. Young said he only came down to
explain that he had looked up law,
after seeing the constitutional amend
ment allowing cities and towns to is
sue bonds to any amount for water,
lights and sewerage, and found that
the bond issues already made for
lights, water and sewerage did not
effect the 8 per cent. property .valua-
ton bond issue. In other words, that
the great proportion of bonds now
outstanding issued by City of Union
were for water, lights and sewerage.
and that the City had legal right to
issue on the per cent. valuation basis
enough bonds to retire all indebted
ness. L have related the entire bond
business from its start to the present,
and the above statement will be con-
firmed by Mayor Wharton and Clerk
Arthur, where they are alone con-
cerned, and by Mayor Wharton, Clerk
Arthur and the City Council who were
present at the different conferences
held between themselves and the leg
islative delegation, with tn exception
of Mr.. Lybrand, who was not present.
In an editorial on the City Bond
Question, appearing in The Union
Times of Feb. 9th, the property valu-
alton of the City of Union is placed
at 2,5OO,OOO00, when it is only about
$1,700, 100000.
