Monroe Enquirer: Mr.. Moncure, of
Portsmouth, an attachee Of the Carolina
Central Railroad, was in Monroe last week
for the purpose of locating route fora new
railroad from Monroe to Chester, S. c.,
which the railroad authorities propose to
build. This company is abundantly able to
build this road, and we understand there is
but little doubt that it will be ultimately
built.
- Charlotte Obserrer: The Cape Fear and
Yadkin Valley Railroad Company pur-'
chased two new engines and put them on
the road last week. Friday evening they
made their first trip, and a disastrous one it
was, too. BY some blunder, one of the en-
gines was left standing on the main track at
point near the Gulf, and the other engine
pulling train of cars came along and crash
ed into it. Nobody was hurt, but the two
engines were seriously broken and battered
up. Bad luck, for the C. F. G. Y. V. r. R.,
but it may prove good lesson to the COM
pany in the future.

POLITICAL PRosECUTIONS.--The State
Democratic Executive Committee met at
the Carolina National Bank last evening to
make preparation for the defense, OF the citi-
Zens of South Carolina who may be brought
before the United States Court for prosecu-
tion for alleged violations Of the election
laws of the national government. The COM
mittee are convinced that the prosecutions
will be begun before the United States Cir
cult Court which will convene in Charleston
on the fourth Monday in this month, and
that they will be carried on with all the
power of the government and with the ut
most exertion for conviction. About forty
cases will be brought before the Court, in
and the others from the counties of Fairfield
and Chester. The defendants and their wit
nesses from Marion county especially are
unable to defray the expenses incident to a
long trial, and this fact is known to the
prosecuting officers. The State Committee
have determined to protect and defend the
prosecuted citizens of South Carolina to the
most liberal extent, and have secured the
services of the able counsel who so heroi-
cally defended the political prisoners in
Charleston over year ago-Hon. A. &.
tain J. X. p. Bryan. 1t will be the duty of
the Democrats Of South Carolina to second
the efforts of the State Committee, and they
would be false to their past record if they
did not respond with alacrity and cheerful
ness and use all the means in their power
to defeat the conspiracy of our enemies.
Let every Democratic juror be at his post
and perform his duty.--Col,tnabta Register.
BAD ACCIDENT AT THE Rock HILL FAC
ToRY.-A very serious accident resulting
in the destruction of the engine at the Rock
Hill cotton factory, occurred last Friday
evening, and will cause suspension Of bus
mess in the factory for the next nin=:y days.
The cylinder head was torn all to pieces by
the crank shaft which, being released by
the pin dropping out, fewover and not only
knocked the cylinder to pieces, but tore up
the engine room in a lively manner 1t
was very strange accident, the like Of
which seldom happens. AT the ti1ae it oc-
Cured, the engine was being driven under
full head of steam, and the moIlent the
pin dropped the crank flew up, tearing out
its fastenings and knocking the cylinder to
pieces. The accident will necess:tate the
purchase of new engine and according to
foreman Neiser's estimate, a suspension Of
work for 80 days. The Rock Hill Wenufac-
turing Company employs 100 hands, who
with their families, make total of 300
people dependent upon it for their support.
The loss in breakage of machinery, COM
bined with the enforced suspension of work,
will bea serious one to the company.-Chdr-
