LETTER FROM ROCK HILL.

Rock HILL, S. c., November lG.-Our
neighboring town Of Fort Mill was the scene
of small, and what might have proved a
serious riot on Friday night last. 1t seems
that the society of Good Samaritans, a COL
Ored organization, held festival on that
night. Some colored persons created dis
turbance, and Messrs. Clyde Culp and jam
es Greene, special policemen, were called
upon to quiet the disturbance. In making
arrests, Mr.. Culp was badly cut and Mr..
Green was knocked down with rock. Sew
eral pistol shots were fired, but with the eX-
option of Mr.. Culp's wounds, no one was Sc
riously hurt. julius White and Mack Por-
ter, both colored were arrested and placed
in the guard-house. 1t is said that Mack
Porter did the cutting.
Our town came near having a fire on
Wednesday night: Some colored persons,
while returning from church, discovered
the barn and stable Of Jack Knox, colored,
on fire, and gave the alarm, which brought
assistance, and the flames were eXtinguish-
ed before any serious damage was done.
Knox was away from home at the time,
and he thinks it was the work Of an incen-
diary.
A number of our citizens attended the
State Fair at Columbia last week. The
railroad agent at this place sold 80 tickets to
visitors to the fair. Mr.. J. l.. Watson, OF
EbeneZer, had the misfortune of having his
pocket-book stolen by a pickpocket. 1t con-
tanned some notes and about 500 in cash.
All who attended the fair pronounce it
grand success.
| \The Rock Hill Cotton Manufacturing
Company is building large brick ware
house in which to store cotton. 1t is in
tended to be as nearly fire proof as possible.
| LMr. j. M. Cherry, agent for Williams,
Black & Co., has posted notices on the
streets that he will sell the presses and ma
terial of the Rock Hill Herald on Saturday
next'at public auction. 1t is rumored that
there will be several bidders. 1t is hoped,
whoever becomes the proprietor, that Mr..
J. Joseph Hull, the present editor, may
be retained in that position. He certainly
makes good editor and has done much to
make the Herald one Of the best weekles in
the State. l am informed that unless he
becomes the purchaser he will retire from
the Herald.
xOn Thursday last Rock Hill Lodge,
knights of Honor, paid to the family of
the late Col. J. NJ. Ivy $4,000, the amount of
his benefit certificate in that order. On to-
day Palmetto Council, Legion of Honor,
paid to VIM. NJ. FreW, executor of Mrs.
Laura J. May, $4,000, the amount of her
policy in that order. During the last four
months the knights of Honor have paid on
death claims in this town $4,000, and the
American Legion of Honor $4,000.
Owing to the low price of cotton, very
little was offered in this market last week.
Most of the cotton has been gathered from
the fields, but it is being held for higher
prices.
The Annual Conference of the A. NJ. E.
Zion Church will be held at this place, COM

THE PRESIDENTS SILVER POLICY.

The present administration favors the
suspension of the coinage of standard silver
dollars, but it also favors the enforcement
of the coinage act in letter and spirit as
long as it remains on the statute books
The result Of this loyalty to the act as it
stands has been to increase materially the
amount of silver in circulation. The amount
of standard dollars in circulation on June
80 of the present year was S3S, 100000. The
amount outstanding to-day is, in round
numbers, S4S 900. This increase of S1O,-
1000 has been added to by net increase
of 50 900 in the amount of fractional sill
yer put in circulation since June 1, 1885.
1t is predicted that the President will
recommend in his message that the coin
age of the $2,OOO,0O a month be stopped
and that the old trade dollars that are now
outstanding be bought up and coined into
halves and quarters. He will probably
recommend, as concession to silver inter-
ests, that half dollars be coined in larger
quantities, but that their weight be made
greater, so that they will represent value
in metal somewhere approaching the inn
print upon their face. This change from
the dollar to the half, it is said, would be
greatly in the interest of the silver men.

on last Thursday. She was one of the few
remaining pensioners of the war of 1912 in
this county. Her husband, who was SOL
dier of that war, died many years ago.
The low price of cotton has been death
blow to trade. Farmers are not selling
their cotton and consequently not buying
any goods. They announce their determl-
nation to hold it as long as possible.
Chester was we'll represented at the State

WASHINGTON, D. O., March 1s.-The
Senate has confirmed Joseph s. Miller, Of
West Virginia, to be Commissioner Of In
ternal Revenue. -.lj 3
Mr.. Evans, Commissioner Of Internal
Revenue, said to-day it was not true, as
asserted in the Executive session Of the
Senate yesterday, that he had expressed TO
Secretary Manning a willingness to resign.
"As a matter Of fact" said Mr.. Evans, Il
not only have not resigned nor hayeI ever
had a word Of conversation on the subject
with either the President or Secretary
Manning" Y
Mr.. Evans has written letter to the
Secretary Of the Treasury in regard to the
matter, Of which tho following is copy:
Hon. D. Aauniug, Secrttaryeftts Treasury:
slR:-1 have received your letter Of this
date, in which you state that by direction
of the President / am informed that my
resignation as Commissioner Of Internal
Revenue is accepted, to take effect upon
the Qualification Of my successor, l was
hardly prepared to receive such letter
to-day in view OF the fact that I had not
resigned, and especially as my iniorma;
ton Is that my successor was nominated
to the Senate yesterday. It may be proper
that I should take this occasion to state
that whilo I have never resigned
nor ever had proper opportunity
to talk, to you upon the subject,
still it has been my. fixed purpose to re-
sign at an early day, in noeyent later than
the close OF the fiscafyear. My second in
office and thought l had probably fair
right to assume the existence ofa appar-
ent cause for believing there was too great
adisposition to avoid q hasty removal to
make Il necessary for meto speak Of It, II
at all, in the hurry ofthe earliest days OF
the administration. Il was acting upon
that assumption and with no thought or
desire to embarrass anybody, and not sup
posing was doing so. --v=-i.---

I ATLANTA, GA, March IS. AT 9 o'clock
this morning fire broke out in the James
Bank block containing the James Bank,
Mercer's European Hotel, the Merchants
Bank, Thornton's book store, Pope's hat
store, and a large numberof offices Of attor-
neys, together with the books Of the
Hibernia Loan and Building Association.
The flames spread rapidly. The new
Kimball House is Just 100 yards across
from the burning block. 1t is surrounded
by huge piles Of infammable build
ing material and there is much danger
that it may be destroyed. The guests
escaped as best they could. The loss,
ifthe fire continues to spread will not be
less than 81 100000. There was hitch
in the arrival Of the fire department on
the spot which may prove doubly disas-
trous. Great crowds are gathering around
the locality. A heavy snow storm pre-
walls.
The James bank building, six stories
high, was completely destroyed by the
fire this morning. Loss, $4,000; insur:

AssAULrkD BY MINERS.
A Mine superintendent Roughly Treated by

Striking Miners.
PITrsBuRou, March ls,--While on his
way home last night r. H. Latimere, su.
perintendent Of tho Yough slope mines, Of
West Newton, was attacked by striking
miners, who concealed themselves along
thefoadside and assailed him with vol
ley Of stones and brick.bats. The assault
was entirely unexpected, and 14atimere
was so badly injured that lie will probably
die. About twenty Of the miners have
been working at tho old price and refused
to join the strike. This caused bitter
feeling, and yesterday all day the strikers
and their wives stood about the mouth OF
the pit and abused the workingmen.
Latimere interfered, hence the assault.
Warrants have been sworn out for the ar
rest OF the strikers and their wives.
Forty arrests, including fifteen women,
were made at West Newton this afternoon
for completely in an attack upon Superin-
tendent Latimere OF the Yough slope
mines, last night, and warrants are out
for upwards Of sixty more. The prisoners
were held in one thousand dollars bail
each, and in default OF which were sent
to Greensburg jail. The assault was en-
tirely unprovoktd, and has created great
indignation. Latimere's condition is very
serious.
Reading Brothers mine at ,Bridgeville,
started up to-day at the price demanded
by the strikers.

Rest Believed to be beyond Help.

BERLIN, March 1S.-Two hundred and
seventeen miners were Imprisoned by an
explosion Of fire.damp in colliery at
camphousen, near saarbruck, in Rhenish.
Prussia, this morning, and at late hour
this afternoon but seventeen he'd been
rescued. 1t is feared that most Of the two
hundred Others are suffocated.
The explosion occurred in one Of the
large mines. The miners had hardly be.
gan the days work when the flre-damp,
becoming ignited, exploded, causing
heavy caye.in around the shaft and en-
trance tothe mine. Over two hundred
men are known to have been in the mine
at the time Of the explosion, and all efforts
to reach them :haye thus far been unsuc-
cesstul. 1t is feared that they have all
been sutIocated.
The town Of saarbruck, near where the
disaster occurred, is an important center
OF the coal trade, the adjoining mines en-
ploying about 5000 persons. The town
is situated about forty miles southeast Of
Treyes on the river Saar, and has a popu-
lation of 1000. 1t was at Saarbruck that
Napoleon Ill reported that his son. re.
cefyed the "baptlsm OF fire, when It was
6ombarded by the French under General
E1ossard, on August 9, 1870. 57i
The search for the dead continues. Tho
mines are surrounded by hundreds OF peo-
pie. who are lending aid in the search.
The latest reports from the colliery dis.
ister at Camphausen state that 9S bodies
nave been recovered. One hundred and
.wo men and boys are unaccounted for.
i Is almost certain that all In the mine
must be dead as the main shaft and air ap-
,aratus was destroyed by the explosion.
