DEPEw THINKS 1T Is ALL SETTLED
In an interview a few days ago,
Chauncey M. Depew said he favored
the continuance of Mark Hanna as
chairman of the Republican national
committee.
Speaking of the campaign of 1900,
Senator Depew said the Republican
party practically would have no oppo-
sition. "Bryan has read the New
York Democrats out of the party, and
they will not again get together" he
said.
"What will he the Republican issue
in 1900 ?" was asked.
"The platform will reassert every
thing the party has ever said, and the
party will declare in favor of expan'
SION"
"How about trusts?"
"Undoubtedly, the Republican party
will adopt a plank concerning trusts,
and also think the Democrats will
adopt similar plank. The Republi'
cans will reaffirm their declaration for
the gold standard, and there is nc
doubt the Democrats will again take
up silver"

ing the option. AS might have been
expected, Mr.. Carroll was not inclined
to talk. He did say, however, that
he was acting as the representative OF
other parties who are fully able to do
all that the option suggests; but as
to what the parties he represents pro-
pose to do with the stock in the event
they should buy it, he did not care to
say.
A gentleman who has heard some
gossip in connection with the matter ;
but who does not vouch for anything
as reliable, and who is not willing for
the use of his name, suggests asthe
possible meaning of the option matter
something like this. "You remember
that the last legislature chartered the
North Carolina and South Carolina
railroad. Nobody knew where this
road was to start or where it was to
end. There was pretty general be-
lief, however, that it included the Car
olina and North Western, and that
the Southern railroad is behind the
whole scheme. There is talk of max
ing the Carolina and Northwestern a
standard guage road and extending it
to Bristol, Tenn, up to the Virginia
line, across the mountains. Messrs.
Barber and Marion, of Chester, who
are supposed to be representing the
Southern railroad, have secured an
option on Chester county's stock in
the Chester and Lenoir railroad, and
it is just possible that Mr.. Carroll is
working in the same direction for the
same people, though I do not know"
The thing brings up a pretty pipe
dream for the people of this section OF
the county. Wouldn't it be grand,
for instance, to have through line Of
standard gauge from the Virginia line
to Charleston, by way of York county :?
The thing appears to be too good to be
true, and possibly, after all, the whole
business is without much substantial
foundation.

A Spartanburg Murder Mystery.


A Greeuville special of Thursday to
the Atlanta Journal is as follows
News reached here last night from
Glendale, in Spartanburg county, OF a
murder mystery involving a pretty
girl, disappointed suitor, the father
of the girl and the death of a prospec-
tive groom. The people involved are
prominent in that section and a sensa-
ton was produced when the revelations
came to light during the funeral SER
vices of the prospective groom. On
last Sunday afternoon Louis McAbee,
Tom Smith and Roland Black left their
homes to 90 to Pacolet river, about one
mile below Clifton No. 2, to 60 in bath
ing, and they had not been gone long
until the news began to spread that
young Black had been drowned, that
they had gone in very rough place
where the water was very swift and
he got strangled and sank. His body
laid in the bottom of the river "a hours
before it was recovered. Many people
from both Glendale and Clifton visited
the place aud assisted in searching for
the body; but they did not find it un-
til "a hours after the tragedy was re-
ported. Yesterday morning prepar.
ations were being made for the burial
without holding an inquest. When it
began to be talked that foul pay was
suspected it was decided to hold an in
quest. Coroner Bishop was notified
and he held the inquest. The post
mortem examination was made by DR..
w. A. Smith, of Glendale, and by Dr..
Chalk, of Clifton, and to the great sur
prise of everybody young Blacks neck
was found to be broken and great signs
of finger prints were found on his
throat and other places on his head
and shoulder showing very plainly that
there had been a considerable struggle
on his part. After the witnesses had
all been examined and the examina-
ton by the doctors, the jury's verdict
was murder" and the result was that
McAbee and Smith were hustled of TO
Jail at once. Rowland Black, deceus-
ed, was to have been married to Nc
Abee's daughter on the 10th of this
month, and it is said that McAbee was
opposed to the match, and it is gener.
ally believed that this was a prear-
ranged plot to get Black out of the
way, so the talk goes-in favor of
Smith, who it is said, wanted to marry
the girl himself.
