Mill for Negro Labor.

The Charleston cotton mill was sold
at public auction recently under an
order of the United States court for
100000.
John II. Montgomery, of Spartan
burg, was the purchaser. M. Mont
gonery said he represented syadi-
cate and that the mill will be operated
with Negro labor, 1t is the only mill
in this country that has employed
Negro instead of white labor.
The mill was built in 1882, and
has never proved success. 1t has
$4,000 spindles, and owns commcd-
ious buildings and considerable real
estate in the city.

The Confederate Reunion.


There will be a big gathering of
Confederate survivors at the reunion
in Charleston next May. Elaborate
preparations are being made for the
Entertainment and pleasure of the old
veterans and all who attend will have
delightful time. We hope Union
county will be largely represented
by the gallant old heroes within
her borders who responded go nobly
to the tocsin of war, and who did
such valiant service on the hard~fought
battle fields of the "Lost Cause" The
ranks Of this brave and heroic band are
rapidly decimating, and in a few more
years the last of them will be summon
ed to the final reunion beyond this
scene of action. Let all who can. then,
avail themselves of the opportunity
which this occasion affords, of meeting
and mingling again with their old
comrades in arms, and of participating
in the festivities provided for their
enjoyment.

Neal Short in His Accounts.

Just before the general assembly

tent lumors that Colonel w. A. Neal,

The committee began its work few
days ago.
The facts brought out have been
Of rather startling nature. The law

AFRICAN VAR CLOUD.

For the last few week the Dreyfus
case in France and the situation in
the Transvaal has attracted the at
tention of the world. The former
has been disposed of, at least the
serious features. but the latter does
not seem to be entirely settled, from
the mutterings that has come from
Africa may lead any moment into
actual roar of battle. In the settle.
ment Of South African Republic the
Dltch first controlled, but as the
English followed the Dutch moved
from Cape Colony to Natal and
when Natal. was annexed the Beers
returned to Transvaal. This too
became British territory. Then
they fought, being SO successful that
they caused two treaties to be rati-
fed, and now President Krauger
and the British government are in
dispute over the former treaties.
The Dutch only wssh to be left alone,
but when the remarkable richness of
the gold fields were known. It was
to much for England to resist the
temptation Of attempting to control
the territory. The British govern
ment established monopolies and
imposed heavy taxes without the
Dntch representation. The Dutch
constitute four ffths Of the popuh-
ton and is compelled to pay nine
tenths Of the taxes and allowed no
representation or police protection.
However we hope that peace may
not be broken and that present diff
ficult,es will be settled if by arbitra-
tion.
