the past three months, about the over
head bridge near Dry Fork trestle, a

slow about the matter but at last they
have made such changes as MIR. CulT

The BRITISH AND THE BOERs.-No
new developments of especial interest
have been reported since Saturday.
Lord Roberts is still waiting at Bloem-
fontein on horses, and the Beers con-
tinue to harrass him. The dispatches
published yesterday morning contain
ed reports from the correspondents
representing the Beers as fleeing in
various directions; but these reports
are not to be considered as very signif-
icant. The approach Of cold weather
in South Africa gives additional con-
Germ to the British forces. The British
war Office continues to make every
effort to supply Lord Roberts with
horses.

Wednesday, April Is, 1900.

Brice called Mr.. Bankhead to the chair
and made his report as treasurer of the
committee. The report included an
itemized statement of receipts ol
S2S5.7O, and disbursements of $21S.34
leaving a balance on hand of S72.36
Mr.. Brice explained that all the candi.
dates paid their assessments two years
ago except Messrs. Pollock and Ken,
nedy. Mr.. Kennedy paid SIS of the
SIS assessed against candidates for
congress, and Mr.. Pollock, although
he had promised to pay, had paid
nothing. After hearing Mr.. Bfice's re-
port, the chair appointed committee
consisting of Messrs. McDill, White.
sides and Burris to examine the same.
The committee found the report to be
correct, and it was adopted.
The date for the election of precinct
representatives to the county conven-
tion is fixed by the party constitution
on the afternoon Of the 4th Saturday
in April. There was debate on the
question of hours of holding the elec-
ton. From 8 to and from l to B
were suggested. Mr.. Beamguard sug-
pested that inasmuch as the factory
operatives generally got out of the
mills at 12 o'clock, it would be we'll to
fix the limit to that hour so the opera
tives could vote if they wished to.
The suggestion was adopted, and the
time of holding precinct elections was
fixed at from II to 6.
Mr.. Brice suggested the desirability
of holding club meetings prior to the
fourth Saturday in April for the pur-
pose of organization and electing mem
bers of the county executive commit
tee. He urged that each club should
be careful to elect men who could be
depended upon to attend the meetings
of the executive committee.
Upon motion of Mr.. Fewell, the
chairman was authorized to publish a
call for precinct elections to the coun-
ty convention to be held the first Mon
day in May.
Upon motion of DR.. Saye, the com
mittee adopted vote of thanks to
Mr.. Brice for his faithful and efficient
service as county chairman during The
past two years. Mr.. Brice acknowl-
edged the resolution and thanked the
members of the committee for the con-
fidence they had reposed in him.
There was no further business, and
upon motion the committee adjourned.

that the dispute Involves oniy 10"
acres of really valuable lsnd, and the
contention of the Indians appears tt
be very we'll backed up. There are
about 6S Indians on the reservation al
this time.
Bridge Contract Next Tuesday.
As has already been announced, the
county board of commissioners will
hold special meeting next Tuesday
for the purpose of letting the contract
for the building of bridge over the
Catawba river. The board has re
ceived numerous inquiries from bridge
men from all parts of the country, and
the probability is that there will be
quite number of them here next
Tuesday. The commissioners will
probably have time to attend to no
other business during the day.
johnson vs.. Rock Hill.
The supreme court has affirmed the
Judgment of the court below in the
case of J. B. Johnson and others against
the City Council of Rock Hill and
others. The issue involved the legality
of a water franchise granted by the
city of Rock Hill to Messrs. R. F. Few
ell, J. M. Cherry and others. Messrs.
Fewell and Cherry won in the court
below, and the decision just rendered
settles the matter definitely. Messrs.
Witherspoon & Spencer for johnson
and others, and Major James F. Hart
for the City Council of Rock Hill.
For Circuit Judge.
From such talk as is to be heard
around Law Range in Yorkville, one of
the questions to be asked of candidates
for the senate and house this summer,
is, "If elected, will you vote for the
reelection of Judge Buchanan when
that matter comes up before the gene
raj assembly ?" There are good many
people in this section who do not believe
Judge Buchanan ought to be reelected
to the bench, and there are no doubt
others who will support the judge. At
any rate, there is every reason to be-
Heve that the issue will be raised and
that the candidates will be called upon
to express themselves upon it.
Cotton Oil Mill.
After careful investigation of the sit
uation, Mr.. w. R. Carroll has definite
ly decided upon the building of COT
ton seed oil mill in Yorkville.. With
what he will furnish himself, the neces-
sary capital is virtually in sight, aud
all that now remains of the preliminary
work is the selection of a location and
the organization of corporation with
some $4,000 or s2l 900 capital. The
capacity of the proposed mill will be
not less than 20 tons, and probably
a great deal more. Most of the manu-
facturers of oil mill machinery are now
behind with their orders, and it is not
certain whether machinery can be pro-
cured in time to start the mill in the
early fall but, anyway. the work will
be pushed without unnecessary delay.
1t is not proposed to run cotton gin
in connection with the plant, it being
deemed more ad visable to leave the
ginning business to those who are now
engaged in it.

For several hours crowd had been
gathering there and II was estimated
that nearly 10000 people were massed
in front Of the stand when the labor
president began his speech. The re-

was most enthusiastic.
In opening his speech, Mr.. Mitchell
assured the strikers that in their fight
they command the respect Of the
clergymen. that they have the SYM
pathy of the public and that the press
of the country has said in one voice
that their cause is n righteous one.
"The greatest strike in the history OF

close. Already the great coal-carry-
ing railroads have agreed to increase
your wages ten per cent, which is a

Continuing, he urged the miners not
to place absolute faith in their presi-

that victory would be achieved.
