that it needed all her self-restraint not to

his own life and reason for the stakes IN

There was long pause, during which the

strove to still the beating of their hearts.

And Hester read. in the face Of the man

- The Chicago Tribune of Wednes-
day morning contains the following
by President Kruger, under date OF
October II: "Through The Tribune
we wish to thank our many American
friends for sympathy in the present
crisis of the republic. Last Monday
we gave England 4S hours notice
within which to give assurance that
the dispute will be settled by arbitra-
tion or other peaceful means. The
notice expired at 5 o'clock today
The British agent is recalled and war

fraud which has marked all South
Africa with blood of Afrikanders. We
must now make South Africa free, or

existed. Let US, therefore, try to get
at only the truth.

- The war between England and the
Transvaal commenced last Wednes
day. 1t promises to be fierce and
bloody, and although all the details
will be made public in due course of
time, reports are not likely to be very
prompt. There are only two cables
connecting South Africa with the out
side world. Both Of these are under
the control of the British government,
and it is likely that they will be kept
pretty busy with government dispatch
es. The newspaper reports, therefore,
promise to be meager except at inter
walls. Considering the overwhelming
resources of the British government, it
is not difficult to predict the final out
come of the war. Common sense and
reason say the Beers will be conquered
or annihilated. Any other outcome
will be astonishing; but, as already
indicated, this is not likely to be ac-
complished without a great deal of
difficulty. The whole world, includ-
ing England, is expecting the Beers to
make an heroic fight, the like of
which may not have been seen during
the present century.

TEN. After all the trouble is only b
matter of men. If the men accused
by the state board are guilty, and up
to the present, everything continues to
point that way, the incident is highly
creditable to the state board, or at least
a majority of that body. Ifit once be
that no crookedness what
ever is to be allowed in dispensary
management, then from that day the
institution will be stronger than ever
before. But is highly important that
the people of the state be very cir
cumspect and judicious about this
question. Under the constitution as ii
now stands, if the dispensary is over
thrown, there will follow condition
of affairs that promises to be worse than
the dispensary, even in the most OBJ
jectionable form in which it has yet

The price of cotton yesterday rang
ed from 7.10 to 1885.
Forty applicants to teach in the
public schools of the county-13
white and 81 colored-presented them
selves for examination yesterday.
The cotton market on this date last
year was quoted at from Al to 5 cents.
Five cents at that time was looked
upon in about the same light that s
cents is now.
The coupons collected by Rev. J. H.
Simpson in behalf of the Hickory
Grove orphanage for the Lester piano
given away by the Ganson Dry Goods
Company, did not turn up at all last
Monday. The statement to the effect
that they were counted along with the
collections of the winner of the piano
was mistake. Mr.. Simpson had less
than 1000 coupons, and realizing that
he stood no show to win, did not have
them sent in. One half of the amount
he received for the coupons he collec-
ted in the contest for the Strauss piano,
he gave to the Epworth orphanage in
the carrying out of what he considered
Just obligation.

PAID HIS FINE.

"They are just like rabbits. If you
will only give them time. They are
sure to come back when you jump
'em."
This observation was made by Chief
of Police Love few days ago, when
the subject under discussion was the
tendency of the violators of the local
law to return after running away.
Cardoza Hampton, a Negro, was
wanted in connection with a charge Of
selling blind tiger whisky last week.
He left town and made his escape to
Gastonia. While passing through
Gastonia a few days ago, Intendant
Carroll was accosted by Hampton, who
asked:
"Mr. Carroll, what is my fine? I
want to pay it."
Hampton had not been tried, and,
of course, Mr.. Carroll could not an
swer the question; but calling a
policeman, requested that Hampton
be arrested.
Before explanation necessary to a
proper understanding of the case
could be made, Hampton managed to
get beyond reach of the officer.
But since then Hampton has made
it all square. He sent representative
to Yorkville and settled with Chief of
Police Love for SIS, thus securing the
right to return to his business interests

MCKINLEY WON'T MEDIATE.-The
following official statement was issued
from the state department on Thurs.
day:
1.-THE president has received large
number of petitions signed by many
citizens of distinction, requesting him
to tender the mediation of the United
States to settle the difference existing
between the government of Great
Britain and Transvaal. He has re-
ceived other petitions on the same
subject, some of them desiring him to
make common cause with Great
Britain to redress the wrongs alleged
TO have been suffered by the Outland-
ers, and especially by Americans in
the Transvaal, and others wishing him
to assist the Beers against alleged ag-
gression. 1t is understood that the
president does not think it expedient
TO take action in any one of these di-
rections. AS to taking sides with eth
er party to the dispute, it is not to he
thought of. AS to mediation, the pres
ident has received no intimation from
either of the countries interested that
the mediation of the United States
would be accepted, and in the absence
of such intimation from both parties,
there is nothing in the rules Of inter-
national usage to justify an offer OF
mediation in the present circumstances.
1t is understood that the president
hopes and desires that hostilities may
be avoided; but if unfortunately they
should come to pass the efforts of this
government will be directed-as they
are at present-to seeing that neither
our national interest nor those of our
citizens shall suffer unnecessary in

Rock HILL, October 10.-The street
railways track, which runs up the
middle of Main street, is being filed in
so as to be flush with the rest of the
street-an improvement long desired
by our people.
The Electric Light Company is SUBJ

street for the unsightly ones used here
tofore.
The Southern railroad has erected
observation booths at their crossings of
Main street and White street.
The upper floor of the Wilson build.

October 13.-The most enthusiastic
meeting that has been held here for
many a day convened in the council
chamber last night. 1t was called for
the purpose of perfecting an organiza-
ton to work for Rock Hill. Rock Hill
people always work together; but the
best results are to be achieved only by
organized effort, and it was in realiza-
ton of this fact that this meeting was
held. Almost every business house
either had a representative present or
sent an expression of approval. Several
professional men also participated. Mr..
R. T. Fewell was called to the chair
and Mr.. L. G. Harrison was elected
secretary of the meeting. A resolu.
ton for the organization of board of
trade was adopted, and the following
citizens were chosen as committee on
constitution and bylaws: w. J. Rod
dey, J. J. Hull, J. NJ. Cherry, R. Lee
Kerr and R. T. Fewell. Mr.. John G.
Anderson was selected as president
and DR.. w. A. Presley was chosen as
secretary. The committee on consti-
tuition and bylaws will report to anoth-
or meeting to be held next Wednesday
night.
At the residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
Leroy Poag, in Ebenezer, last Tues
day, their daughter, Miss Anna, was
married to Mr.. Cloud Hicklin. The
ceremony was performed by Rev. DR..
J. H. Thornwell. A wedding dinner
was seryed to a number of intimate
friends and other invited guests. MIR.
and Mrs. Hicklin went by private con-
veyance to their future home.

News of the First Bloodshed May Come at
Any Time.
Telegraphic communication with the
Transvaal was cut off on last Wednes-
day afternoon, and such news as has
since been secured has been coming by
way of Durham, Natal, and other points
in the surrounding British possessions.
Reports of Thursday have it that
President Kruger's son and grandson,
and half of the members of the Trans
vaal legislature, have gone to the front.
All the Beers who have horses have
for several days been assembled at
various points within the Transvaal
and it is stated that hundreds of Beers
who have no horses are thronging the
roads as they proceed on foot with
rifles on their shoulders to the various
places to which they have been order
ed to assemble.
The Transvaal republic is bounded
on the north by Matebeleland and
Portuguese East Africa, on the east by
Swaziland and Zululand, on the south
by the Orange Free State and Natal,
on the west by British possessions.
From Natal, entrance to the Transvaal
is effected by way of Laing's Neck, a
narrow mountain pass. Reports have
it that the Beers took possession OF
Laing's Neck several days ago, and it is
also believed that many of them have
crossed the border into Natal, where
there has already been some severe
fighting, although no news to that
effect has been received.
Mafeking, on the Cape to Cairo rail-
road, on the western border of the
Transvaal is an important British base.
Colonel Baden-Powell is in command
of the British forces here. On Tues.
day he sent a small force with field
guns and ambulances toward the
border with the intention of occupy
ing important positions in the Trans.
vaal. The Beers have for several
days had a force on their side of the
line and fighting may have also taken
place here.
The object of the Boer expedition
through Laing's Neck is believed to be
the destruction of railroad bridges be.
tween there and Ladysmith on the
road to Durham, the port at which the
British expect to land supplies and
troops. The bulk of the British forces
in South Africa is already stationed at
various points in Natal, and the gov
ernment thinks it will be able to look
after itself here.
A cablegran from Cape Town says
that the Beers have arranged with
Linch. We, a prominent Negro chief,
to give the British great deal of
trouble on the northwestern border.
This report is of more or less concern
to the British, as the Negroes have
generally given a great deal of trouble
where they have been aroused.

though brief, gave him an opportunity
to impress himself most favorably up
on many of the business men of the
city.
Crowded Out by Machinery.
Fifteen or twenty years ago there
were retail harness shops in almost
every town in the state of from 1000
to 1900 population. At the present
time she town that has shop that
manufacturers harness for retail is the
exception. HON emade harness and
saddles may be had in Yorkyille and
Rock Hill but aside from these two
towns it is now difficult to find in this
part of the state frstclass workmen
who can even repair harness or saddles.
Mr.. G. H. O'Learv is still making sad
dies, and he makes good ones; but as
matter of fact he pursues the work
more for employment than for profit.
There is no longer considerable de-
mand for the superior quality of work
that he turns out. Most of the saddles
of today are cheap affairs made large
ly by machinery in the big factories of
the north and the demand for 6rst-class
handmade work in this section is hard.
ly great enough to keep one man busy.
With harness it is not quite so bad ;
but still if it were not for repair work,
it is doubtful as to whether either the
Yorkville or the Rock Hill shop could
afford to give constant employment to
single harness maker. In some parts
of the state, small harness shops are
run in connection with tanneries; but
as a general thing the large wholesale
plants seem to have run the retailers
out of the business.
