CONGRESSIONAL GossIp.---Congrcss
man Mills, ofTexas, is decidedly in
dependent sort of person. He has
opinions Fon almost every question,
and feels no sort Of hesitation about
expressing them. When the subject
Of political Orders" was up in the
House few weeks ago, he spoke and
voted against tho party in a very man
ly way. Last Saturday he gave an
other illustration of his somewhat
reckless way of freeing his mind. 1t
was in the ways and means committee,
of which he is member, and on the
second day of the herring upon the
paper question. Congressman Rus
sell and Miller had already used three
quarters of the time, and another ill
per manufacturer had just been called
upon, when Mills interrupted to ask
Chairman Wood how much longer this
sort of thing was to 60 on. Getting no
satisfactory answer, he took up his hat
and ovcrc0at, remarked that he had
heard all he wanted to on the subject
and was ready to vote, and s:allicd out
Of tllc room, slHmm'rI the door with Il

TIE Rock HILL FACTORY. A meet
ing Of the subscribers to the proposed
cotton factory at tlis place was held ut
Roddcy's Hall, last Saturday afternoon,
to hear tho report of the committee APP
pointed at previous meeting to- visit
number OF factories now in opera
ton, with view to obtaining inforlha-
ton deemed ofimportaNce to the furth-
thor development of this enterprise.
The report of the committee was heard +,
and it furnished such information as
to dispel from the minds Of the most
skcptical every trace Of doubt as to
whether or not cotton factory would
pay at this point. Aftcr consultation,
it was resolved, upon motion, that a
partial Organization should at once be
effected, and the following gentlemen
were elected to fill the positions nam
cd: Hon. A. E. .Hutchisoll, President; {;
Mcssrs. A. RI. White, w. b. Fewcll,
w. l.. Roddcy and j. M. Ivy, Direc-
| tors. It was provided that two addi-
tional directors be elected hereafter.
From the great abundance of wood
around Rock Hill, and its consequent
cheapncss, tho opinion prevails that ilo
other point in the State can run q fac
tory at as little expense. It is believed
that an arrangement can be made by
which wood can be supplied for an i'll
definite period at a cost not exceeding
$1.00 or 1925 per cord, delivered.
With this advantage we feel that the
factory movement here must become a
success.-Rock Hill Herald.
TRIAL, JUSTICES CoNsTABLEs.-On
Monday Solicitor CASTOR gave to the
grand jury o bill of indictment, charg-
ing the accused. with assault and bat
terry and resisting all officer. Before
retiring to their room, Judge Mackcy
instructed the grand jury that their
duty first would be to inquire whether
or not the accused knew the person to
be an officer at the time the resistance
was made; and secondly, they should
inquire whether or notthe officer resist
ed was a bonded officer. Tho iIstruc-
tions Of the Court wero TINT If the Off
Ger was not under bond for tho faith
full performance of his duty, a true bill
could not be returned against the nc
cused Oh the count charging him with
resisting an officer. In other words q
special constable, appointed by q trial
justice merely for the time being, no
bond being given for tho faithful dis
charge Of bis duty, docs not constitute
q lawful officer within the meaning of
tho constitution. Tie grand jury after
wards returned on the back of the in
dictment "no bill." YorkVille En-
