who were in the mine at the time the
explosion occurred are dead. There are
III names on the list, which does not
include Selwyn M. Taylor or the two
men who were on the tipple above
the mine shaft when the explosion
came. Nor does the list include the
name of Daniel Lysle Of Castle Shan
non, whose body was found in the
mine this morning. He was one of the
men who went down in the mine to
work last night, but became separated
from the rest and wandered far ahead
of the fresh air. His body was found
sitting with the back to the wall of one
of the rooms. He had evidently been
overcome by the after damp. This
brings the official number of known
dead up to 174, but the list may still
be incomplete, as it is possible that
some boys may have gone into the pit
to work under their fathers direction,
whose names have not yet been ascer-
tanned. Hdtchison, the custodian of
the lamps, says that between $50 and
100 lamps were given out on the fatal
Monday morning and no man was CIV
en- more than one.

THE STATUS OF DR.. CRUM.-1n res
ponse to Senator Tillman's resolution,
adopted by the senate. calling for the
record Of William D. Crum's appoint
ments and his services as collector or
the port Of Charleston, Secretary OF the
Treasury Shaw on yesterday sent to
President Pro Tenn Frye the following
letter:
"William D. Crum was appointed col
lector at the port of Charleston, S. c.,
March 20, 1903, and a temporary com
mission issued. Mr.. Crum qualified by
executing bond for s50.000 and took
oath of office March 80, 1903. Mr.
Crum was again appointed Dec. 7, 1903,
and has given bond in the sum Of $780,
900 and took the oath Of office on Jan.
9. 1904. There has been no third ap-
pointment, and no fourth appointment
The same information Is contained in
a letter to Hon. B. r. Tillman, under
date Of Jan. s, 1904, and which appears
in the Congressional Record Of Jan. rs,
1904.
1.-THE resolution also asks is Mr..
Crum now in office. and II so, under
what authority Of law? William D.
Crum is de facto collector at the port
of Charleston, S. C. Whether he holds
his position under authority Of law Is
determinable, not by the executive de-
partment Of the government, but by
the judiciary, and by that only. He
is not receiving pay because OF the
provisions of section 1761."

TilIman and Roosevelt.

Senator Tillman has arraigned the
administration at Washington for vio-
lation Of the law in the matter Of the
Crum appointment and the Columbia
State has taken occasion to arraign
Senator Tillman for violation Of the
law in holding two offices of honor and
profit, regardless Of the constitutional
prohibition on the subject.
In his speech on the subject few
days ago, Senator Tillman showed be-
yond question that the president Is
guilty Of deliberate violation of law In
the Crum matter and he took occa-
sion to suggest that somebody ought
to be prosecuted for malfeasance in
office. Several senators tried to de-
fend the administration; but Senator
Tillman was too we'll prepared and his
opponents were forced to retire in dis
comfiture.
But the Columbia State takes up the
fight and makes an attack in the rear
which, though it does not relieve the
president, puts Senator Tillman in an
embarrassing position. were it possible
for that gentleman to be embarrassed.
The attack of the State is based up-
on the fact that Senator Tillman has
all along been holding two offices in
violation of the constitution and laws
of South Carolina and also that he
has received compensation for services
in violation of the law.
The constitution of this state pro-
vides in Section Of Article II: Every
qualified elector shall be eligible to
any office to be voted for, unless dis
qualified by age as prescribed in this
constitution. But no person shall hold
two offices of honor and profit at the
same time"
The State comedies that it is dis
puted question as to whether the office
of United States senator Is state or
Federal Office; but is inclined to the
opinion that it is a state office. How
ever. it is not content to rest it's at
tack here: but goes on to make anoth-
er point on which there can be no
doubt.
An act of the general assembly to
regulate fees and commissions of pub
lie offices. specifies trustees of a
state college" as public Office, and
says that no such officer may lawfully
assume his duties until he has been
regularly commissioned.
According to the records of the sec
retary of state, Senator Tillman has
never been commissioned as a trustee
of Winthrop college. but the books of
the secretary of that institution show
that he has received all the pay to
which he would have been entitled had
he been SO commissioned.

IT seems that Mr.. Beamguard got
himself into a regular hornets nest
when he suggested that there was no
necessity for the special term of the
court thar was called to convene in
this county on Monday, and which
had to adjourn sine die because there
was no business for it. He expressed
himself as opposed to both special
terms and extra circuits, because he
considered that there was no need for
either. He stated as a fact that he
had been importuned in behalf of the
additional circuit proposition by men
who desired jobs as judges, and he
seemed to think that after all that was
the milk in the cocoanut. The best
remedy he could think Of was to pro-
vide that such cases as should not be
ready after having been called at two
different terms should be stricken from
the docket The lawyers pitched Into
Mr.. Beamguard from all sides; but he
held his ground quite creditably, for
there is very good reason to believe
that he is more than half right in his
contention.

ROCK HILL HAPPENINGS.
Evidence of Remarkable Development

Evidence of Remarkable Develcpment-
Social Event-PersonaI.
CORRESPONDENCE Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
Rock HILL, Jan. 2S.-Several items
in the report of the president Of the
Commercial Club and the speeches OF
its members are very instructive ana
give a fair idea Of the growth and
progress of Rock Hill. In the first
place the postal receipts indicate
most healthy condition. They have
grown from $8,216.16 in 1901 to S10.-
632,25 in 1903, an increase of pracfi-
cally 5000 per month. These figures
are decidedly encouraging. In the
matter of freight and passenger re-
ceipts the array Of figures Is Imposing.
Freight received in 1903 amounted TO
$13S,328.23. Freight forwarded was
s4O,9S1, while the passenger receipts
of $217,331.S9. These items speak for
themselves.
In 1870 Rock Hill had only black
smith shop as its sign Of manufactur-
ing enterprise, and about 500 inhabi-
tants. Today the city boasts Of about
5000 inhabitants, with manufacture
ing investment of s1,500,000, and
payroll of $500 weekly. This prog
ress Is a gradual, steady, regular, con-
tinual one and is the counterpart OF
what Is styled as "booms." One other
item deserving notice and indicative
of the pull together spirit so essential
to success, was the immediate action
taken on the suggestion Of the presi-
dent that competent person be Sc
lected who should give his entire time
to the business of the Commercial Club
and city generally. s100 was subscrib-
ed that night towards this object so
that the $1,000 necessary is practically
In sight. These items are certainly
very encouraging and they speak elo-
|quently Of the spirit animating the IN
habitants Of Rock Hill.
The "Old Maids" after celebrating
their convention at Rock Hill some
time ago, journeyed to the Klondike In
search of riches and husbands. Last
Tuesday they returned minus both, and
celebrated their return with another
convention at Friedheim's Hall that
night. The hall was packed to over
flowing as some spry local hits were
anticipated and the proceeds were to
be devoted to that most worthy organ
ization, the Kings Daughters. During
the whole Of the hour and half that
the "spinsters" occupied the stage, they
provoked uproarious mirth and wild
shrieking laughter, as hit after hit was
made at the expense Of some local ce-
lebrity or other. The whole affair was
pronounced genuine success and over
$120 were netted as the result.
Mr.. F. P. Mccain Is in the city from
attending the legislature at Columbia,
on a reference case.

WITHIN THE TOWN.

Rev. w. E. Hurt has moved his
family back into the Cartwright cot
age on Kings Mountain street
Representative Mccain has intro
duced a bill to empower the special
school district Of Yorkville to increase
it's tax levy to mills on the dollar.
Judging from the deliveries that
have taken place during the past few
days there was quite a lot Of cotton
in this vicinity waiting for Is cents.
sized lots waiting for a larger figure.
Next Monday Is salesday for Feb
ruary, and that there will be a large
number Of people in town to see about
mules and horses and to make grub
stake arrangements for the next crop
goes without saying. February sales
day is always busy one.
Mr.. w. B. Moore has purchased
and moved into the J. F. Lindsay resi-
dence on Main street, and Mr.. o. E.
Wilkins has moved into Mr.. Moore's
residence. Mr.. w. T. Moore is to oc-
cupy the residence vacated by Mr..
wilkins. Mr.. R. C. Allein, who has
been occupying the same house with
Mr.. Wilkins, will probably occupy eth
er the M. w. White residence on Kings
Mountain street, or the S. L. Miller
residence on East Liberty street.
- There were about seventy guessers
in the prize contest at the Foushee
Cash Store yesterday. The question
was the hour and minute at which the
alarm would go off, and the clock was
to go to the guesser guessing nearest
to the time. The alarm sounded at
about 8 minutes after 4. Three guess
ers had guessed o'clock, and rather
than try to decide who was the winner,
Mr.. Foushee gave a clock to each.
The lucky guessers were Misses Alec
Starr and Iva Dickson of Yorkville,
and Charlie Meek Of Bullock's Creek.

IT is gratifying to note that the
house has seen proper to kill the bill
providing for the establishment OF
state fertilizer factory. In our humble
Judgment, the passage of such bill
would have been a serious mistake
The farmers would have no better
guarantee of honest goods than they
now have, and eventually they would
have to pay more than they are now
paying-either that or fertilizers would
be cheaper at the expense Of general
taxation. For the state, under the cir
cumstances to conduct business OF
this kind as economically as 1t would
be conducted by individuals seems i'm
possible.

SCHOLARSHIPS FOR CLEMSON.

After quite an interesting debate the
house of representatives on Wednesday
passed to third reading Mr.. Her.

scholarships at Clemson college to be
divided among the counties on the
basis of representation in the general
assembly. The scholarships are to be

favor of the Herbert bill. He said he

NOTE AND COMMENT.

Tho approaching regular term Of the
court will no doubt be able to dispose
Of all such business as may then be
pending.
Tomorrow is tho last day on which
taxes may be paid with the per cent
penalty. The per cent penalty begins
to attach after next Monday.
There were a number Of candidates
in Yorkville Monday and Tuesday, and
they worked like good fellows too. All
Of them seem to realize that the key to
the situation. lies in persistent personal
contact with the voters, and they are
about right. The political machine
that used to control things to such
an extent has about worn out.
