Sills had whipped his wife so badly that she left him and went to her father's to live lie went after her and made threats and attempted to as sault her with his knife. Through some of our sub scribers at Turlington, we learn that our papers did not reach that postoffice last week. On investigation we found that the papers were sent out from here hut were not taken out at Tur linsrton and came back to Dunn. We hope this will not happen again. -We want every voter in Harnett county to read The Union during this campaign, and if you are not a subscriber now is the time to become one.

Autry, of Sampson is be ing spoken of as the probable nominee of the Democratic party from Sampson for the Senate. We do not know Capt. Autry only by reputation, but those who do know him .say he is probably the strongest man the Democratic "party could put up. He is a well-to-do farmer, and a lutiu ui mucii experience, a deep thinker, and a Democrat of the old type. Teacher's Institute.

Holloway for Register. I notice that Monday, Aug 15th has been selected, as the - ' time for holding the county Democratic convention. On that day we are to nominate a candidate for Register of Deeds. I hear there are several can didates for that! office. Of course only one of these can get the nomination. I beg leave to ask the Democrats; of Harnett county to let's nominate Prof. Alvis C . Holloway for that of fice. I believe he will accept the nomination and I know of no other young man . in the county who would make a bet ter or more -competent officer. He is-of pure, genuine Demo cratic stock. Many of tire read ers of The Union know him personally and all of thein ought, by all means, to know something of this "" noble young man. .He was assistant teacher at Buie's Creek Academy for three years and we do not hesi tate to say that Buie's Creek Academy has never had a more faithful teacher nor one Wsjio was more universally loved and honored by every student under his charge. Nobody who knows him will doubt his fitness for the place. He had a great deal of experience in the work of the office while H. T. Spears wTas Register, and is fully competent to take charge of that office. Fellow Democrats let's nomi nate Prof. A. C. Holloway for Register of Deeds and we will have one man, at least, -who will be elected for he is univer sally popular and will carry a stronger vote than any other Democrat in the county. Of course every white man in the county 'will vote for Holloway and tyuite a number of the col ored people.. Nominate him and we will have a young man of learning, ability, clean of char acter, honest, social and an up right christian gentleman. He would make an ideal Register, and the convention, would hon or itself by nominating him. C. II. Biggs. Kyerylody Says So.

You hear some white Repub licans say that they are as much opposed to negroes holding office as any Democrat, yet we see these same Republicans go into their conventions presided over by negro chairmans and by negro secretaries, or as at the convention in Lillington last Saturday, a white chairman and a negro secretary, and re commend and vote for them to be delegates and members of the executive committees etc. Their actions belie their words. Sick headache, biliousness, constipa tion and liver and stomach troubles can be quickly cured by using those famous little pills known at DeWitts Little Ear ly Risers. Thy are pleasant to take and never gripe. IIood& Grantham. THE UNIVERSITY. Largest patronage and fullest equipment in its history.

William Adolphus Coro wan. born November 21st, 1870, died July 21, 1898, aged 27 years aim uijiit juuuuis. The deceased came to Dunn from his home in Sampson county some thirteen months ago and lived with the writer, being employed by the South Dunn Manufacturing Com pany. For several days he had been complaining and left on Monday, July 4th, for his father's home in Sampson coun ty to recuperate, but was taken that night with typhoid fever frorn. which death resulted. Ho lay for days with a scorching fever which refused to yield to medicine uid careful nursing until 3 o'clock on July 21st when tlie death angel appeared and took tlie life unto God who gave it. The efforts of his physician and his brothers and sisters could not stay the hand of the Reaper. , His remains were buried in tno graveyara at nome, wnero he had told his brother-in-law, Mr. R. M. Crumpler, when in good health, that he desired to be buried when ho had finished this life. We desire to express heart felt gratitude to the many friends who were so kind and attontive to him in his illness and gave us muali help and comfort in nursing him. May God help us all to walk upright ly and deal honest as he did, and make many friends and no enemies. He was prepared to enter college in '1897 but never did. He leaves a father, four brothers and five sisters to mourn their loss. A prCcions brother from us ha? gone, A voice we loved la stilled; A place is vacant in our home, . Which never can lc tilled.
