Mr Jno W Logan, a brother to Judge Logan, and an influential citizen of that section was ia the city tester day and says that the proposition will be carried by a large majority. He is greatly : interested in . the project and wants to see it succeed. - ? ' J A correspondent of th Charleston News & Courier, writing from Gaffney City on the 23rd saysf "On last Satur day the county commissioners 'of Spar tanburg and5 of Union - and the town council of Gaffney - City, representins 49J000, met, and with the private stock- holderstrgani2ed the Union, Gaffney.

The doctor came to the surface; spouted a jetof water, turned pale as : a corpse and fainted dead away, when the usual sinking operation ; was commenced. The ladles who thronged the balconies overlooking the lake, commenced screaming and t clasping their bands and one after another three men plung ed in after the unconacions doctor. , He had sunk twice and was going under the third ; time when j Dr Garrett and the other men hooked ' him out on dry land. The usual restorative operations were gone through with and Indue course of time the Imprudent bather came around all tight. It was really a narrow escape from drowning. . The bathing still continue but Dr Catchall takes his in a tub. He has an elegant bathing auit which he will : sacrifice at cost to close out stock, f i. '-.,, Afford It." . . . . t . j'' t Bam Day. The New fork Tribune holds up its hand in horror and declare that It would cost the Western Union Tele- graph company alone a minion and a hall dollars annually to riant the de mands of the operators. Well, what of it? No one ' who is familiar with the history of the Western Union Telegraph Company believes that the property represented by its nominal capital of aojooojooo cost a cent over C30,ooooo, or even that much, except through the reinvestment la- it or extortionate profit. On this inflated and fraudulent capital of gsojooogroo the company pays an annual cash dividend of o per cent, which requires, of course, S4XXMXXX suppose mifiuojow ox uus were aiviaea among the people wno reauy ao tne Work that vieid these prodta, there would still be a clear dividend of 12H per cent on the real eapitaVafter paying the splendid sal arte drawn by the otn eera who are resisting the strike. In these time, when ZH per cent bond are selling at a premium, 12H Per cent dividends are not to be sneered at. ' We presume - that, true to- its, established character and instinebvthe Tribune lies when It declares it would cost siOO, 000 to grant the demand of the opera tors, but even if it tell the truth its statement does not justify the action of the company.
