The greatest fraud of the age is
as follows: A man went to Mexico
the other day, claiming to be the
agent of Patti, the wOrld-renowned
singer. Said agent announced to
the Mexicans that Patti would ap-
pear in that country, and proceeded
to sell tickets. He thus collected
$4,000 and skipped the country.

to don all their clothing and come to the iron
CRATE leading from the corridor, without un-
necessary delay and directed them to ask no
questions. They obeyed with reasonable alacrl-
ty, and on being handcuffed and properly secur-
ed, were conducted to the ground by Mr.. OAR
win and Thos H. Glenn and VIM. D. Glenn.
From the Jail they proceeded through the lot,
going beyond the old gas house to clump OF
pines, where they remained secreted 10"
minutes, and then started north, through the
fields, bearing as far from town as DR.. Walkers
plantation, and coming out into the King
Mountain road above the residence OF MI.
Thomas w. Clawson, mile north OF the Court
House. Here they were met by two carriages
which in the meantime had been hastily made
ready for the trip. After seating the prisoners
in the carriages the deputies changed the original
plan of their route and decided, instead OF 60
ing to Rock Hill as at first intended, to 60 to
Gastonia, where they hoped to connect with the
west-bound train on the Airline Railroad ana
go by way of Greenyille. But the roads were
heavy and they met with the misfortune to
break the spring of one Of the carriages, the de-
lay preventing their arrival at Gastonia until
half an hour after the train had passed.
Remaining at Gastonia until morning, they
procured fresh teams and went to Charlotte,
hoping to connect with a passenger train for
Columbia, but were again disappointed and
were compelled to remain in Charlotte twenty
three hours before they could take train. the
railroad management declining to permit them
on any but regular passenger train. At p.
NJ. on Thursday they proceeded to Columbia,
arriving there without incident, and the prison
ers were duly delivered to the Sheriff of Rich
land on that evening.
The prisoners were much mystified by the
proceedings. their first impression being that
they were led out of the Jail for the purpose OF
| lynching, and they begged piteously for their
| lives. After boarding the train for Columbia
Mr.. Darwin informed them Of the facts of the
movement, which was source of relief to all

CORRESPONDENCE of the Y0rkville Enquirer.
LETTER FROM CHESTER.

A public meeting was held in Rossville
township few days ago to take some ac-
ton, if possible, in regard to the condition
of the suffering people of that township.
The colored people who were present stat
ed that they were in wretched condition ;
that they were without corn and without
money; that their cotton had been devoted
to paying for their supplies, and that they
were without any of the necessaries OF life.
The white people present at the meeting in
formed their colored friends that they were
unable to help them. They too were with
out money and were in debt, as the short
crops had prevented them from meeting
their own obligations. A committee, COM
posed of an equal number of white and
colored persons, was appointed to make
additional inquiry into the facts bear
ing upon the situation, and report at a
SUBSEQUENT meeting. Ifit is found that the
condition of affairs in Rossvflle township,
is such as to justify call for help, an ap-
peal will first be made to the State Govern
ment, and if in vain, then the General Gov
ernment will be asked to extend aid to the
needy and suffering of this township. 1t is
hoped that the Rossville people will be able
to tide over the present extremity without
any call for help from either the State or
general government.
A very sad affair occurred in this county
on last Tuesday night. Lee CASTOR and
William Estes while returning home from
town, where they had spent the day, be-
came involved in difficulty which was
settled by CASTOR shooting Estes through
the heart, producing almost instant death.
Estes was Gaston's son-in-law. Both were
under the influence of liquor at the time
of the unfortunate difficulty. According to
the testimony at the cOrOner'S inquest they
had lived together for several years on
pleasant terms.

LETTER FROM ROCK HILL.

Rock HILL, December 20.-The stores of
our town begin to look as if we are really
going to have big time Christmas. They
are filled with all Kinds of pretty things that
tempt the eye and palate. The little folks
are anxiously looking forward to the visit
of Santa Claus, while the older ones are
troubling their minds as to what presents
they shall buy for their sisters, cousins and
aunts, ard whetting their appetites for their
Christmas dinners. The usual Christmas
turkey is not so difficult to secure this sea-
son. Large numbers have been offered on
our market, and at prices to suit the hard
times. Eggs are very scarce, and unless
some of our friends from the country bring
out our Christmas egg-nog. However, it is
best to have things "straight" and never
"miX" them.
h/Some persons went to cotton house on
the farm of Mr.. n. A. Simril, in Ebenezer
township, on Tuesday night last, with a
wagon and hauled off load Of cotton seed
about 500 pounds.
X The closing exercises of Miss Willie Mil
ler's school were held in Oak Grove Acad-
emy on Friday last The school is compos-
ed of children under thirteen years OF age.
| The exercises consisted of calisthenics, dla-
logues and recitations. The children ac-
Quilted themselves with much credit, both
| to themselves and their instructor.
x About thirty colored persons left this
place on Sunday afternoon bound for Libe-
ria. They stopped at Fort Mill, where they
| were Joined by about three hundred color
| ed friends bound for the same country, who
were awaiting a special train to convey
them to New York, from which city they
expected to sail for the new republic on
| Afric's shore. But the train did notarrive,
and I am informed that it never will.
Some scoundrel went through the country
distributing red badges or tickets at price,
stating to the purchasers that these tokens
would pass them from Fort Mill to New
| York. 1t is regretted that the man who
induced them to sell their property and
leave their homes cannot be found out.
The deluded negroes had sold most of their
property at sacrifice, in order to secure the
ready cash to pay for their pretended pas
sage. From the latest accounts they are
yet at Fort Mill, waiting for the train.
At the last meeting of Rock Hill Lodge
