anxiety. According to the Sofia Dnev-
mix the Turks committed unspeakable
atrocities at Krushevo.
The mutilated corpses Of ninety wo-
men and children were found in one
building. Pieces of the bodies had been
thrown into the street. Fifteen or the
principal merchants Of the town were
killed and their heads exhibited on
poles at Monastir. The churches were
demolished, the houses sacked and the
town is now in a heap Of ashes. The
populace fled to the hills, where they
are in a starving condition.
The Dnevnik also asserts that gen.
eral massacre has taken place In the
whole vilayet of Monastir. Nearly all
of the villages have been destroyed
The treacherous murder of eighty in
surgent. prisoners by their guards near
Monastir has made an especially bad
impression here.
Many rumors are current Of massa-
cres in the city Of Adrianople, but con-
firmation is lacking. The situation
there, however, undoubtedly is serious.
The population Is afraid to leave the
houses The prisons are full and the
vail has taken private houses to be
used as jails. When the Russian con-
sui protested at the situation, the vail
is reported to have answered that he
was powerless against the fanatical
population.

MACEDONIAN OUTRAGES.
Hardly Possible to Avoid War in the
Balkans,

With the rumors of massacres and
the murder of prisoners in Monastir
now authenticated. says Sofia dis
patch of Monday, the general stua-
ton is considered here as fast becom-
ing intolerable. Official and diploma
tic circles alike are concerned, having
every reason to fear that only a part
of the horrors enacted in the interior
of Macedonia have come to light as
yet.
The revolutionary committees are
doing their utmost to force the hands
of the Bulgarian government and the
immediate outlook is exceedingly Sc
riouS.
1t appears that the Turks have OBJ
tanned the upper hand in the vilavet of
MOnastir and the insurgents are plan
ming to remove the centre of their ac-
tivity close to the Bulgarian frontiers.
Dispatches arriving today from the
disturbed area are exceedingly gloomy.
From Adrianople comes the news of Il
Turkish defeat and the extension of
the revolutionary outbreak; from Mon
astir, the news of Turkish victories
accompanied by barbarous excesses.
While many of the reports remain
without confirmation. sufficient au-
thentic details are forthcoming to
cause the authorities the greatest

GOVERNOR Hayward was in Charlotte
last Friday and the Observer contains
an interesting interview Of about a
column. The interview is interesting
enough and quite readable; but 1t de-
pends for it's interest more on the In
genuity of the reporter than upon the
utterances Of the governor. The gov
ernor is not disposed to commit him.
self with regard to important matters
political For instance, he admitted
that education is great subject; but
he was not willing to say just what
ought to be done along this line. and
when asked as to what he thought or
the dispensary law, replied by asking
the reporters opinion of the Watts
law of North Carolina. The reporter
asked as to whether the governor
would be a candidate for reelection;
but he can give no light whatever on
that question and neither can he give
any reason of the governors opinion
Of Senator Tillman except that Senator
Tillman is a strong man. AS talker,
Governor Hayward is evidently sue
cess. He is not disposed to say too
much.

COTTON AND ORDERS.

There has been a story in circula-
ton about Yorkville to the effect that
the York Cotton mills was preparing to
shut down within the next few days
because of the high price Of cotton
and q scarcity Of orders, and the re-
porter took occasion to ask w. W.
Lewis, Esq, the president about the
matter.
Mr.. Lewis at first looked a little
surprised; but the appearance Of sur
prise soon gave away to amusement,
which might have been attributable
either to the absurdity Of the story, or
to a re-awakened consciousness Of the
prosperous condition of the property
of which he has the management.
Il had not heard that we are going
to shut down." he replied, NOR what
we are going to shut down for. Did
you hear what we were going to shut
down for?"
Nothing further than that there Is
an understanding that you have not
sufficient cotton to keep you going and
that you cannot afford to go on the
market for more at present prices"

THE DROWNING OF NORMAN.

AS to whether there will be any war.
rants on account Of the recent drown
ing of J. R. Norman in Catawba river
near Fort Mill has not vet fully devel-
oped. There may be further develop
ments and there may not be.
The verdict Of the coroners jury
was to the effect that the deceased
came to his death by drowning ana
that in the opinion of the jury, the
drowning was the result Of fear OF 9
dog that was put on his trail by Po-
liceman Johnson and a posse.
Coroner Louthian sent the papers
in the case to Solicitor Henry and Mr.
Henry wrote back that there should
be more information on the point as
to whether the dog by which Norman
was chased was really a fierce dog anc
also as to whether Norman was aware
of the dogs reputation.
The coroner, having already closed
the inquest and received the verdict
does not see that he has authority to
reopen the case, and Is at loss to
know Just how to act on the Verdlct
as 1t stands-whether to issue a war
rant for Johnson only or for the mem
bers Of the posse also, or to let the
whole matter drop.
From such information as the re-
porter has been able to gather, 1t Is
ouite probable that nothing will be
done; but still there is very general
feeling that the case has not received
the attention it's Importance demands
and it is possible that the grand jury
may be induced to look into 1t fur
tbar

THE Columbia correspondent Of tn

THE Columbia correspondent of the
News and Courier is authority for
the statement that Mr.. M. F. Ansel
will not be a candidate for governor In
the campaign Of next summer. Be-
cause of the close race Mr.. Ansel made
last summer, this will be something or
a surprise to many; but it seems that
this gentleman has calculated that II
would be a waste Of time to tackle
Governor Hayward in his race for
second term, and from the present out
look there is reason to believe that
other aspirants will take the same
view of the matter. 1t would be re-
markable should Governor Hayward
be reelected without opposition: out
there is reason to believe that If he
does have opposition it will not be
very strong.
