Mr. 11. W. GnSin of east Monroe
township was in Iowa the other day
and was telling a friend about how
hard he tuul worked the day before
to pick fifty pounds of cotton. The
friend was quite sympathetic and
warned him that he ought not to work
too much at his time of life, "fur."
said he, "death often results from
overwork."

Mr. lirittin. "Well, now. the first one

Mr. Archibald Johnson, the very
interesting editor of Charity and
Children, the paper published at the

tained an immense circulation purely
on its merits, attended the Baptist
asstriation in this countv last week
He thinks that Parker will be elect
ed. "1 have come to really believe
it," said Mr. Johnson. "The letters
of acceptance of the two candidates
did the work. They showed the dif
ferent character of the two men, and
from that day liooeevelt stuck has
declined."
An old gentleman with an anxious
look walked hesitatingly into Grif
fin's stable the other day. He seemed
surprised at something.
"Is this liritlin s stables? he in
quired.
"Yes."
"Kms Griffin's?"
"Yes."
"And yer ain't been burnt up?"
No.
"Well, don't that beat the dickens!

that it wasn't so."

Senator Overman made a really
nice siieeeh here Friday, much freer
from inelegancies of language than
are most political speeches. But the
only joke he told was a failure. In
the small audieiu were Hev. Messrs.
Allison and Atkinson and Dr. (owe.
If these excellent preachers who
have done me the honor to come out
will excuse me, I'll tell a joke," said
the Senator. Of course, every body
uked at the ministers to see how
tliey took the joke. It turned out
that the point in it contained a Hat
piece of profanity, said to have been
uttered by a boy in Sunday school.
Dr. Uowe looked as solemn as a pris
oner on the morning of his execu
tion; Mr. Atkinson seemed to strive
for urbanity, and Mr. Allison was
unmoved. The balance of the crowd
laughed heartilv at the joke, being
anxious to accommodate but even a
desire to be polite and accommodat-
ingcouldn t make the ministers over
look tlio profanity, and the Senator
should not have expected it.
"Brethren." said Rev. J. A. Bivens,
a beloved Baptist preacher and one
arm Confederate soldier of this coun
ty, and a most sensible man, in a
public address last week, "I want
you every one to go home and do
everything you can for the public
school in vour neiglilmrluxxl. Not
only do all you can for the public
school, but don t depend ou it entire
ly. Raise subscription schools to sup
plement the public terms. 1 have
found in my longyeHrsof experience
as a preacher, mat n is easier to
'stablish and maintain a church and
Sunday school wherever there is a
jjood public school. A community
that has a good public school takes
right hold of church work, and the
boys and girls being intelligent, fall
naturally and eagerly into the Sun
day school work. On the other hand,
where there are not good day schools,
it is almost impossible to organize
or maintain a chureh or Sunday
school. I-et us do all we can for the
public schools." No truer nor time
lier words were ever spoken.
"I have heard it said all my life,"
said Mr. T. M. Green of Marshville
township, "that the quicker you get
your cotton from the field to the gin
and on the market the better, but I
have discovered that it is not true.
This year I picked 1,330 pounds of
cotton and put it in a dry house and
let it stay ten days. 1 then picked
out of the same field 1,3!X pounds
and put it on the wagon and hauled
it from the held to the gin and got
4U7 pounds of lint cotton. The very
next day 1 carried the 1,330 pounds
from the house to the gin and got
497 pounds of lint cotton the same
as I got from the 1,300 pounds the
day before. In addition to the 60
pounds of seed cotton worth fz.iu,
I got 20 cents per hundercd more
than the top of the market for the
last bale, it being very fine staple

How to Get Full

I would be pleased to have the
good farmers of Union and surround
ing counties to have weir next meet
ing in my store and thoroughly con
sider the low prices I have on Shoes,
Hats, Suits, Overcoats, Shirts, Sut
Denders. Hosiery, Underwear, Over
alls. Trousers, etc. also Flour, Ba
con, Coffee, Sugar, Hams, Canned
Goods of all kinds, Vinegar, best
Pickles, Fruits and Candies of many
kinds, and see if they are not thor
oughly convinced that it would be
wise to tell their anion to the urows
at present price and take advantage
of the special prices I expect to make
for the next few days than it would
be to bold and risk getting 15 cents
for their cotton. I struck the north
ern markets late in season and bought
goods at such low prices that I will
sell in such a way to make the good
laboring class of people my friends
Goods are now coming in rapidly.

that staid ten days in the house than
the one ginned and sold green, and
the cotton all came from the same
field."
This exact and definite experience
of Mr. Green's, proves the truth of
what Mr. T. J. . Broom of this
township told The Journal sometime
ago, to-wit: that the lint, growing as
it does from the seed, continues to
grow on after the cotton is picked,
and so not only increases in weight.
but improves in length of staple and
consequently in the grade of the cot
ton. Mr. Green proves the case.
Yesterday afternoon a number of
young men in front of the llcalh-l-ee
hardware store were exercising them'
selves in an attempt to see who could
carry farthest into the store two
100-pound bags of shot, a large pile
of which lay on the sidewalk. Some
could just lift one in each hand, some
could get inside the door, while oth
ers could wobble along for several
feet inside the store. None of them
did much. After all had tried, a
young farmer, Mr. H. G. Iteeae of
Sandy Ridge, who was standing by,
walked up to the pile, and the boys
fell back. Picking up a bag iu each
hand, he walked into the store,
through it to the end of the aisle,
turned round, came back to the door,
and standing with them yet in his
hands, asked, " here do you want
em put.' 1 here were no more trials
of strength there.
Senator Overman spoke here Fri
day. He made a most interesting
and forcible Icmocrittic stiecch.
He said that heretofore he had
leen canvassing at the orders of
the committee, and so hud not been
sent to Union county. Now he was
going at his own discretion, aud
had come here to see his good
friends, to imike new ones, and to
get acquainted with the people
whom he represents. The upcech
was a discussion of the different
principles underlying the Itcpuhli
can and ieiuocratie parties, and he
never quoted a thing from Mr.
Roosevelt's hooluboom txioka. Mr.
Overmuu looks the Senator at '
every turn, apeak like one, and
altogether makes a splendid ap
pearance.
Mr. Frank Armlleld, Iemocratic
elector, has just returned from a
tour of this congressional district,
in which he aud Mr. Page have
been speaking twice daily. There
is great interest and enthusiasm iu
the upper section of the district,
Mr. Armlield says, aud they have
fine crowds to hear the speakings.
The friends of Mr. Josiab Austiu
of New Salem township, who has
been in feeble health and totally
blind, are glad that he has im
proved iu general health and is
able to see again.

We learn that some of the "colored

money, for a dav's work is worth
something now. We know that shows
are right amusing, but if we had our

never come to Union county; neither
would any more intoxicants of any

County.
Writ ton tut Th ionmal.
1ok county is full of gold and
would make a great mining district
if develoied tcoaomically and minr-d
in an up to-date and business like
way.
Ve nred no greater proof of this
than the showiug from tlie work now
being dooe in the county and tl.r
amount of gold found where, practi
rally, no work has ln doue. 1lu
Howie mine, now being oerated by
theCukxitus Mining Coniany, w ill
prove to be one uf tlie largest mines
in the l oited State. With their
immense vein of ore, tiW feel wide
and ruiming S.IKI.) feet on their pro(
erty, annoying from H to -r
tn, tlwv slniuld prodm-e over fl.
Ui.i'iyrar. The large cyanide plant in course
of construction will be completed in
November. With their improved and
up-to-date machiner', they should
treat over a quarter of a million tons
of ore prr year in the most economi
cal way.
The Brown Hill mine is showing
up very well. At the 85-foot level
a drift of 130 f jet aud crosscuts lave
been run, oiening up several verv
hue shutcs of high grade ore. Tin
shutes. as depth is obtained, should
produce enough ore to put this prop
erty oo a good dividend-paying ba.is
when arrangements for treating are
completed.
Tlie Nichols mine has made a very
good showing with little work, and
in the surface work has located
number of veins, all of which show
gold in fair quantities. In the main
shaft the vein is good size, and at 25
feet milled f 34 per ton and has im
proved continuously to the present
di-pth. this propertvwill undoubt
edly make a good payer and should
be pushed with energy.
The Black mine is showing up
well. At a depth of 2U) feet the
vein carries a streak of fine smelting
ore, being ten to fourteen inches
wide and running high in gold, cop
per and lead. W ith the proper facil
ities for treating and a little more
developing, this mine will be a
i-rcdit to the county.
There are a number of mines that
have been worked years ago and
made to pay; also some good placer
ground that would pay largely if
worked with unproved methods.

We have recently bought a lot of Grain
Drills at a bargain, and we arc going to
let our customers have the benc.lt of it.
A good farmer doesn't want to pay the
prevailing high prices for flour, and the
only way to decrease your present cost
of living is to buy a
Grain Drill,
and make your own wheat and oats.
You can get one of us at an unheard of
price. See us at once and we'll let you
know about this good thing. Only a
limited number at this figure, and you
don't want to be too late.
