week, there has not been a great deal
of demand from the mills for spot cot
ton. Local buyers report that the minis
are not disposed to buy because they
seem to have an idea that prices will
go down instead Of up higher. In some
cases mills have been dealing direct
with farmers who are still holding lots
Of cotton; but this practice is not at
all general.
An Unusual Case.
The suit Of s. w. Mitchell against
the Woodmen Of the World for dam
ages alleged to have been sustained
during initiation, has attracted wide
spread interest. It is said to be the
only case Of the kind on record and
without precedent, and the secret So
cieties of all kinds are watching the
result with much curiosity. The local
interest, especially among the Wood
men, is very considerable. There are
about 40 witnesses here from Hickory
Grove and elsewhere in connection
with the case.

Negroes Growing Restless.
There is said to be a marked rest
lessness among the Negroes Of York
Vile, occasioned by reports Of better
wages and easier times north, south
and west. Some Of the Negroes have
information of a demand for house
and lawn servants in Washington and
New York, some hear Of high wages
tout in Mississippi, and still others
think that Pennsylvania and Ohio are
the states that are most inviting. 1t

stronger; but as to whether 1t will
develop in actual emigration remains
to be seen.
Saving Potatoes.
Mr.. w. j. Moorhead, Of Hickory
Grove, Is in Yorkville in attendance On
court. In conversation with the re-
porter yesterday; he said that so far as
he knew, only one man besides him
self, in the Hickory Grove neighbor-
hood, tried the plan he gave sometime
ago for saving sweet potatoes, and
both succeeded where almost every

heads, although he has not run upon

Wants Indian Walters.
Columbia correspondence News and
Courier: The Columbia postmaster
has received a letter from a lady, the
proprietor of New York hotel, which
he has referred to the secretary Of
state. The lady wants a couple of
Catawba Indians. living in the upper
part Of this state, to come North and
work for her, acting as walters in the
hotel, for which they will receive $40
a month and board. The idea is nov
ell one and would be an excellent ad-
vertisement for the hotel, provided the
redskins behaved themselves. Should
they ever get too much "fire-water"
aboard, however, they would certainly
create a sensation; there would be
some Embarrassing" although the
scalping knife would not figure in It,
The matter will be referred to T. w.
Boyd, the Indian agent.
Talbert's Commencement Speeches.
Fort Mill correspondence Of The
News and Courier: Next to a stump
speech, or a speech blistering the Re-
publicans, there Is nothing in the line
of oratory so much to my liking as a
address. I always feel
it a privilege to be invited to say the
final word Of God-speed to college stu

their alma mater" This Is the senti-
