MEEE.MENTION.

A large number of suits for damages
against the railroads have been removed
from the State courts of the United States
Court at Atlanta. ''.'.'. Three batteries of
the Third United States Artillery have
pitched their tents in Atlanta. They were
Florida, Atlanta being presumed to be a
much healthier locality. ''''''... 1t is estimat-
ed by London bankers that the cholera has
prevented travellers from spending S2O,OOO,-

the Ohio Valley of West Virginia the far
mers are feeding wheat to their hogs be-
cause they have no old corn to spare, but
an abundance of wheat. The latest SEN
sation in New York is the elopement OF the
dauehter of G. P. Morisini, private secreta-
ry of Jay Gould, with her fathers coach
man. ...'..:..George Latham, editor of the
Statesville, N. c., american, a Republican

Hanson, of Charlotte, N. c., died last Sun
day, from the effects of fluid extract of anco-
mite, which, it is said, he had taken to cause

THE SoLICIToRsHIP.-Iti is now very
probable that the Executive Committee OF
the Sixth Judicial Circuit will be able to
meet the eXigencies caused by the sine dae
adjournment of the Chester Convention,
without necessitating the expense and
trouble of holding county convention in
each of the counties Of the circuit. There is
an article in the Constitution OF the party
touching the matter of Democratic Conven-
preston is found, "After the Convention
Shall have made the nomination, or nomi-
nations, for achich 1t is called, it shall adjourn
sine die." The inference is drawn by those
in authority that under the party Constitu-
tion no convention has the right or poaoer
to adjourn sine die until its work has been
performed and a nomination made. This
construction is, to say the least that can be
said, plausible, and the Executive Commit
tee will probably, under the circumstances,
direct call to the old convention to re-as-
semble. In this way a great deal will be
saved to the people of the district, and we
hope the Executive Committee will see its
way clear to pursue this course Winns6oro

CoLUMB1A's GAIN.-We are sorry indeed
to announce that DIR. T. c. Robertson has
bidden a final adieu to Rock Hill. Ac-
companied by his family he left yesterday
wednesday, afternoon for Columbia, which
city will be their home hereafter. DR..
Robertson will continue member OF the
mercantile firm of Jones & Robertson at
Rock Hill, but goes to Columbia to manage
the cotton business of Jones, Robertson
d Co., who will make that city their head
quarters. The firm will have buyers at
Rock Hill, Yorkville, Lancaster, Winns-
boro, and perhaps other towns. Our young
friend, Mr.. w. c. Robertson, will be the
book-keeper at the central office.
We greatly regret the loss of DIR. Robert
son and his estimable family as citizens of
our town, and we are sure the best wishes
Of every man and woman in Eastern York
accompany them to their new home. Co.
lumbia's gain is certainly Rock Hill's loss
