New Hotel for Seneca.

Seneca, March 21.-Mr. @. H. Ellison,
proprietor of the Oconee Inn, has pur-
chased the lot on Main street from
Mrs. M. w. Coleman for the purpose of
erecting handsome hotel of brick
structure. Mr.. L. ID. Johnson, of Green
Vile, has the contract for removing the
present building on the lot so as to make
room for the hotel. When this building
Is completed it will be three stories high
and will have 35 large and spacious
rooms, equipped with water works
throughout the building, and will De
heated by steam. On the first floor will
be the hotel offices and large and ele-
gantly furnished dining room, and there
will also be several sample rooms on the
first floor. Mr.. L. d. johnson will also
superintend the work of the building.
This work was begun this morning and
will be pushed rapidly until finished.
The first shipment of brick have been
received and all the necessary sup
plies have been purchased. Mr.. Ellison
is well known among the commercial
men and Is said TO keep one of the best
hostleries in the upper part of the State.
The building, when completed, will be a
credit to the town and something that
the town will be proud of, and it will be
one of the finest and handsomest hostile
ries in upper Carolina. This is some
thing that has been needed for years and
the commercial men will be glad to know
that they will have an elegant place to
stay when they stop over.

Outrage at Birmingham.

Birmingham, Ala, March 19.--A ST. ries
of mysterious threats to burn the home
of w. I'll. Boyd, q prominent contractor,
residing in this city, eliminated this
morning in an attack on Boyd's wife by
an unknown negro. Yesterday Boyd
received an anonymous letter warning
him that his house would be burned. I1
the afternoon an unknown negro met
him and handed him another letter CON
tanning similar threat. After deliver
ing the letter the negro fled. Later q
telephone message from unknown parties
conveyed similar threats. While at sup
per last night Boyd and his wife dis
covered that the house was on fire, but
with the aid of the neighbors the flames
were quickly oxtinguished.
This morning an unknown negro was
seen lurking around the Boyd house.
Apprehending danger, Mrs. Boyd pro-
cured pistol and fired at him. Missing
him, she held her weapon on him and
attempted at the same time to telephone
for her husband. While at the telephone
the negro snatched therevolver from her
hand, felled her to the floor with the
butt of the weapon and fled. Mrs. Boyd
is severely wounded, The police believe
that these outrages were inatigated BY
some discharged employee or other per-
son who had grudge against Boyd. Nc
arrests have yet been made.

= Blind Tigers and Railroads.

Columbia, March 23.-Editors Courier
All is quiet on the Congaree save the
army of workmen who are now building
tho first steam boat that will soon connect
Columbia with her sister cities of the
coast. Other modern boats will be built
soon, and this is by far the best move
Columbia has made since the war; If it
only reduces the freight rate 80 per cent,
as it did for Augusta, then she should be
proud of her achievements.
The new constabulary force-made out
of McSweeney's old one--is in full blast,
and the blast is the greatest part about
the machine, too. With one or two ex-
ceptions it's the same old song by the
same old choir The tiger keeper sits in
front of his den and smokes the pipe of
peace. Occasionally the constable rushes
into his Joint, yanks out few bottles of
stale beer left there for his especial bene-
fit, and marches out with an air of great
Importance. Ye gods and little fishes

business is from first to last in Columbia,
and Charleston is worse, if possible. /

last Wednesday, should have said a bar

with another poker-Jim and one of our
city fathers. Neither of them pretended
to see the officers until they came out,
when they gave them pleasant smile and
knowing look combined that seemed to
say, Thanks, awfully." There is color
blindness about this business that's hard
to explain. 1t is claimed by oculists that
green is very soothing to the eyes when
affected, especially If it is the "long
greenland it is claimed by many good
people in Columbia that this same green
has much to do with the condition of
affairs here to-day. If not, why are nearly
one hundred bars run wide open and
loose, and whiskey carts as common as
water cartsp The constables and tigers
are waxing fat at one and the same

hunted to the death and convicted most
every time they are caught with it. I

Mr.. Editor, what has become of that
railroad built on paper from Sapphire to
Walhalla last year? The people of Oco-
nee did not see into this milestone like
your humble servant, and they did not
realize that the charter was put through
to prevent some one who might possibly
wish to build road up there some time.
have seen this handwriting on the wall
long since and Walhalla need not look
for anything save black eve from that
quarter. Mark those words. /, The Pitts
burgers AT Sapphire are not the ones to
build railroad to Walhalla. I have
heard them express their opinions of
South Carolina in general and Oconee In
particular, and there are others living
who can bear out the statement that their
opinion Is not an exalted one, j. Q. 9.

told them that he had been studying the

coming South to settle the race question
in a few days. He is right. The race
question will be settled some day by God

Seneca River Gets Rough.

Keowee, March 24.--The Seneca river
began leaving its banks early last Sunday
morning, and by o'clock Monday it had
risen to higher point than it has reached
this winter. The boom of the Benedict
Love Company could not stand the strain
of the strong current and the logs COM
ing down together, and about o'clock
yesterday afternoon the boom gave way
In two places. Besides this something
went wrong with the boom at a lower
point, although it did not break, which
resulted in the loss of great many logs
that had been caught during former
freskets. The result of all the difficult
ties was that logs, estimated at some
thing like two thousand in number, es-
capped and are lost unless some can be
caught and sold at Augusta. The com
munity regrets this loss to the company,
for they have spent good deal of money
in the neighborhood and hav" the repu-
tation of dealing squarely with all.

VICTORY FOR THE allAEas.
Miners Given an Increase oi Wages, and the
Union Is Simply Ignored.

Washington, March 2t.--The report OF
the commissions appointed by the Presi-
don't last October TO Investigates the an
thracite coal strike was made public to-
day. The report is dated March 18th
and is signed by all the members of the
trated, and 1t will be accompanies by
the Testimony taken by the comnission,
but thur far Only the report proper has
been printed. This alone covers 81 pages
of printed matter.
In brief, the commission recommends
a general increase of wages amounting
in most instances to 10 per cent; some
disputes by arbitration tixee q minimum
wage and a sliding scale; provides against
discrimination OF persons by either the
mine owners or the miners on account OF
membership or non.membership In q la
Dor union, and provides that the awards
made shall continue in force until March
81 1908. The,commission discussed the
of the miners' union, but declined to
mako any award on this matter.
The commission also recommends the
discontinuance of the system of employ
ing "the coal and iron police't and re-
sort to the regularly Constituted peace
authorities in case of necessity; also q
stricter enforcement,of the laws in rela-
tion to the employment of children.
Three MllIlor Dollars to Miners.
Wilkesbarre, Pa. March 21.-Roughly
ESTIMATED, the 10 per cent increase
granted the miners by the strike commits
sion will amount to nearly $4,000, 900.
The miners have worked about 120 days
since November 1, which, is the basis
above estimated. The coal companies
say they probably will hay6 the accounts
of the men ready by April 1, and until
that date the amount cannot be definitely
stated.
Because of the abnormal prices for
coal it is difficult to say what advance
standard on which to base the calcula-
ton, because of the increase of 80 cents
ton made by the big coal companies
last fall. This additional increase, 1t
was said, would continue until April1.

"No Use to, Talk"

port, remarking: "There is not much
