Better Times Coming.

NEW YORK, July 1S.-The World
presents a number of interviews
with note brokers, whose business
is to raise money on commercial
paper. Perhaps no other class of
men in the city have a better OPP
portunity of judging the condition
of the money market. Several of
these brokers claim money has
been more plentiful than it was a
month ago, and they fail to see
any reason why the improvement
should not continue. Others say
the change has been so slight as to
be scarcely observable, and that
no statement can be considered
authoritative that promises quick
Improvements. AS rule, bankers
were conservative in their talk,
and not one of them seemed to feel
safe in being positive on any par
ticular point.

A DESPERATE KILLED.
By Citizens for Various Crimes
Committed.

COLUMBIA, 5. c., July 1S.-Bub
MeetZ, white, was killed in Lex
ington county, Sunday night by
parties unknown. Bub Meetz was
regarded as the "wolf's head" in
Lexington county, having a most
unsavory reputation. He was run
out OF the state two years ago for
horse stealing and warned not to
return under penalty of death.
MeetZ did return and lodged
around in the woods to escape
notice. He wanted his wife to
mortgage her place in order to
raise money for him, he having
already run through most ofher
property. She refused and he
threatened to burn her house. Her
house was burned to the ground
Wednesday night, and she and her
children narrowly escaped death.
1t was reported that Meetz had
threatened to burn the houses of
several others who had exposed
some of his former villainies. The
sheriff and posse searched for him
but without avail. The sheriff
was at the house last night, which
MeetZ had threateded to burn. He
heard shots, and going to the barn
of Mrs. Meetz, found him lying
with many wounds, four of which
would have caused death. Meetz
died shortly after being discovered
without naming his slayers and
the coroner's jury brought in a
verdict of death from wounds in
tlicted by unknown parties.
