Matcwan, ". Va, Special.-Wednes-
day morning when the non-union men
again attempted to go to work at the
Maritime coal mines they were ire'
upon by strikers at a distance. The
non-union men deemed it best to with.
draw and did so, before any Of the
number fell victim to the deadly bull
lets. Another battle Is imminent be-
tween the strikers and Federal mar
shals. Ever since they left the mine
the men have been preparing for al
emergency and Marshals Hufford AMI
Tellto. and Superintendent Lambert,

arrive here from Charleston. 1t is
said that they are heavily REINFORCED
and ready to put an end to all the
disturbance in this section.

The success Of the volunteer system
as put into effect in this country two
years ago, as used in South Africa by
the British and by the Beers as well,
appears to cast doubt upon the neces-
sity or desirability Of maintaining a
large standing army in time Of peace.
states the New York Sun. The ques-
tion of such an army is by no means
settled, nor does this success at all af-
feet the question Of supplying trained
officers. 1t does seem to challenge the
accepted rule Of the armed nations
of the world that all their citizens and
subjects shall serve in their armies,
and the belief that reliance can be
placed only on men trained as soldiers
until they become almost machines.

Reports of the industrial revival in

steadily increasing flow of immigra-

reversed the precedents during the last

their lead. Recent dispatches spoke
of the probable departure of 10000

1t is said that the fauna of India has
not lost q single species Of mammal,
bird or reptile, not merely during the
nineteenth century, but within the Pc
riod of definite history. There is one
animal the determination of which, If
not imminent, is not improbable, name
ly, the Indian rhinoceros. The tiger,
which destroyed 900 human lives in
the latest reported year, has prospect
of survival which the most pesSimiStic
prophet cannot dim with predictions
of destruction. Except for exhibition
purposes, the tiger does not seem de-
sirable contemporary; the rhinoceros
is still more picturesque, and greatly
less harmful.

Deputies Driven Away.

Huntington, WA, Special-Monday
q posse of United States deputy Mar
shals, led by A. C. Hufford. of Blue
field, were fired on by the strikers and
forced to fee from the coal fields at
Mattewan. Sunday afternoon the
marshals. set out from Bluefeld to
reach the scene Of the miners riots.
Within 90 miles Of Thacker they found
that they could proceed no farther BY
rail on account of the food. They
struck out across the mountains en-
ccunteriEg almost unsurmountable
difficulties and late Sunday afternoon
reached the end Of their journey. Pro-
ceeding to work. they began serving
notices of the injunction which had
been issued by Judge Jackson. y moD
of strikers followed. armed to the
teeth with firearms. On all sides could
be heard the cry, down with govern
ment by Injunction" Men threaten
ed them with their weapons, women
called down the vengeance, heaven
upon them and children hurled stones.
When nightfall came notice had been
served on the strikers Of all the coal
companies, but one and that was to
be served at Lick Ford Coal and Coke
Company, at Thacker. Fearing an am.
bush they waited until morning and
carly today set out for Thacker. Some
time before noon they attempted to
serve the injunction papers at the
above named colliery. A mob followed
enraged to desperation at the sweep
ing character of the injunction. One
reckless fellow fired the first shot and
quick as lightning the mountain sides
echoed and re-echoed with resound-
ing reports that followed the crack OF
20 or 80 rifles. The deputies were
forced to take refuge in flight and then
barely escaped with their lives.

SOUTH CAROLINA CROPS.
Good Growth the Past Week-Har'
vest About Over.


The week ending June oath had
nearly normal temperature, and closed
with extremely hot weather, with
maximum temperatures between 95 and
100. A minimum OF 81 was observed
at Spartanburg on the 18th. There
was less than the usual amount of sun
shine over large portion Of the State,
but generally it was about normal.
There was a severe hail and wind
storm in Lexington county on the 22nd.
The rains OF the week were local in
character, but were the heaviest Of the
season at few points. The heaviest
| rains occurred generally in the North
Carolina border counties where bottom
lands were flooded for the fifth time
this year. Cultivation made good
progress in the central and southeas-
tern counties, but even there lowlands
are still too wet to plow, while else
wnere plowing was practicable on only
from one to three days, and fields con-
tinue to be foul with grass and weeds
in places to such an extent that botn
corn and cotton have been abandoned,
and lowland cats have put out and
cured for hay on account Of the grass.
Cotton improved slightly where it
could be worked, but the plants contn-
ue to be unseasonably small, and much
of it is yellow. Some cotton is scalded
and lice are tsill in evidence although
less numerous than last week. Chop
ping is not finished Many fields are
still grassy, and much cotton IS being
destroyed in cleaning it of grass and
weeds. Some fields have been aban-
doned on account Of their foul condi-
tion and scarcity Of laborers. Seals
land made decided improvement.
Upland corn looks we'll where it Is
well worked, but much looks yellow
and is very small, while loYland corn
is irretrievably injured by the excess
of moisture and lack of proper culti-
vation. Bottoms have not all been
planted or replanted. Corn Is tassell-
Ing low, and is unpromising generally.
Tobacco is being cut and cured in
Horny county; it is small and poor in
all sections, but has improved during
the week. Rice Is excellent in the
Charleston and Williamsburg districts,
some was damaged by overflows and
stagnent water in the Colleton dis
trict, while in Georgetown districts
freshets injured it, and only about one
fourth the usual amount of June rice
could be planted. Wheat harvest IS
nearly finished, and late wheat was
poor owing to rust and scab. Oats
! about harvested. Both grains are
| sprouting in the shock to some extent.
Thrashing has begun with generally
good yields.
A continuation OF dry weather is
needed to improve crop prospects
/ which are still very unfavorable.
