1t was announced yesterday
that Capt. j. A. Mooney, of
Greenville, had been employed to
assist in the prosecution Of Major
Barnard B Evans, who is accused
of having killed Capt. j. j.
Griffin April 18th last.
This promises to be royal
legal battle. There are eloquent
men and able lawyers employed
on both sides The counsel or
the defense consists of Col George
Johnstone, of Newberry, and
Major w. 7. Gary, of Augusta,
Ga. The prosecution is represen-
ted by younger men, but Col. o
l.. Schumpert has a fine record
as solicitor and Capt. Moneys $
success is attested ny the fact
that he is now employed IN 80
homicide trials.
This promises to be very
sensational trial. 1t cannot be held
at this term of court as the p-esid
ing officer, Judge Earnest Gary, is
Il first cousin ot Mai jor Evans
Judge Watts, who will preside at
the November term of court, is q
distant relative of the accused,
hut it is said that 1t is not Il tie Of
consanguinity and will not preven,
the trial at that time.
1t requires money to retain
lawyers in big case like this. II
is understood that IA nun her o.
the late Capt. Griffin's friends il
the city have contributed to tn
fund to aid the prosecution.

M'Laurin's Proposal Not Taken
Seriously.
Special to The State.

Special to The State.
Rock Hill; June 6.-Senator
Tlllman was not to be seen today
until the Winthrop board
adjourned for dinner at 2.o'clock.
He did not seem inclined to notice
the interview with Senator Nc
Laurin, appearing in The State
of this morning. He considers
the stand which McLaurin takes
to be 50 puerile as to be beneath
notice and feels that it would not
be dignifed ia him to reply to it
at all. After talking on other subs
jects and evidently meditating up
on this, he again stated that after
thinking it over he did not feel
that he had any answer at all to
make to it. The interview, he
says, comes in too round about a
way to take as challenge and
he considers that the action taken
at Gaffney covered the whole sit
uation. There he met his oppo
nent's quibbles as to the form OF
the paper sent to the governor and
gave what he considered an un
qualified resignation. At Gaffney
he forced McLaurin to "jumI
over board" with him believing
that McLaurin could not swim.
1t seems,' said he, "that Nc
Sweeney has thrown him a rope
and hauled him in, though th'
matter seems to have been ar
ranged by mutual friends, and

COLUMBIA.
When we were told that our
positions on the editorial staff
was to report the mines, il al.
most over whelmed us. Never
having before taken any interest
in mining further than mourning
several unfortunate investments
by our better(?) half, we hardly
knew where TO begin. II being
so entirely out Of our ordinary
allotment, and a chance of a life
time to express ourselves in
print, that refusal was the
farthest from our minds.
After due consideration and
bring Of that material. to "hold
the fort, we telephoned several
mines asking permission TO visit
them. Receiving a welcoming
reply, we accepted at once.
A short drive brought us to
the Columbia, situated two miles
southwest of Crystal Falls, oper.
ated by the Oliver Mining Co. of
Pittsburg. who have recently
acquired the property from the
Huron Iron Co., of Chicago.
This mine formerly the Shat.
fer) was discovered by Jacob
Shaffer about 1880.
Today, the mine under the effic-
lent management Of Superintend-
ent S. G. Bennett. who is one Of
the most careful and conscien-
tious masters of mines and men
under his control, has fully
started on career OF which his
tory alone will record the facts
a few years hence.

we're, to the novel and thrilling
experience of descending into the
depths Of mother earth. To one
who has never has had this ex-
perience it may be of interest TO

readers of this weeks issue.
Arriving at the mine we were
ushered into a dressing room

We arose from ourrustic seats
and making several desperate
struggles, landed those canal
boats on the cage. Now began
that rather queer feeling that
comes over one, when they stop

only a few planks between us

their tiny lamps to guide them.
Stopping at sixth level, we went
hither and thither following the
Pickering light of our guide,
thro' drift after drift. Here we
found the big pump, capacity
1000 gallons per minute, which
forces water to surface. also the
smaller one pumping clear water
into the boilers. One can hard

About two o'clock we found
ourselves at the Bristol where
Supt. Biork awaited US with the
usual miners clothes 10 make
our descent comfortable. Here
we experienced the novely Of
riding in a skip like load OF
ore. Here also we saw the
drills working and could only
compare the noise to the Hy-
draulic Works in Iron Mountain.
Only forty men are at present
employed, as little beside devel-
ment work is being done. We
did not realize how far we were
going until informed that we
were under and beyond the open
pit. They have reached a depth
of 80 feet. Knowing that very
good showing was found by the
Youngstown Iron Co. at 600 feet,
the Bristol people are working
toward the same vein. In the
office we were shown maps,
