The Fort Mill chapter of the r? 1 - ? ~ - vjuncu j-zaupniers .or tho Uonfed.eracy has decided to present every /Confederate veteran in this township with a cross of honor. All the nations of the world have had some special badge for distinguished soldiers, so these ladies flesire that every veteran of the Lost Cause in our community shall be crowned as a hero. Tho .design selected is a cross, with tho Confederate battle flag on the face, surrounded by a wreath of laurels, with the inscription, ''The Southern Cross'of Ilonor;" on tho reverse the motto of the Confederate States, "Deo Vindice" (God our Vindicator), 1861-(>5," with the inscription, "From t-l)o U.

These crossos will be presented with appropriate ox jerciscs as soon qs the money with which to buy them oan bo raised, and in order to raise the necessary amount these ladies have established in the Massey building on Main street ar> ice-cream saloon which will be open every Saturday afternoon during the summer. Killed by Lightning. On last Friday afternoon n peculiar accident occurred on the plantation of Mr. Hutch White near Jtook Hill. Two colored fnrni laborers who worked for Mr. White had been to town in the wagon. When they started home one of the negroes remained in tho wagon; the other rode on one of the mules hitched to tjie wagon. As they were going through a strip of woods a cloud came up and in a few minutes thpre Wi>s u tlasli of lightning. The bolt struck the wagon. The negro in the wagQn and the mules were killed, but strange to say the negro riding one of the mules was uot struck. lie was hurt as the mule }ie was riding him, but t^at was alj, * % \t !*" !Niut??aAi | Regular correspondence. 1 | Washington, August 0, 1900. Mr. MeKinley has come to Wash1 ! ington again, not to do anything j in connection with the desperate i situation in China -(our minister H was aUve at last accounts, but he niul other Americans were in the greatest danger), but rather to see that nothing is done that might bring the situation to a climax before the election. While making all sorts of professions about what ! it is doing and what it is going to | do, the real policy of the administration is to keep this whole Chinese business hanging until tho campaign is over. That is why Secretary Hay and other members of the cabinet have been on the most chummy terms with the Chinese minister at Washington, while the Chinese ministers to every European governmont have boeu treated by those governments as in disgraco and as representing a government which is responsible for the butchery of foreigners in China. If Mr. McKinley and his advisers can think up something that will serve as Republican campaign thunder it will be done; otherwise it will not be done. Chairman Jones of the J)omocratic national committee stopped in Washington on his way from j New Y<ork to Chicago to hold n 'conference with Chairman Rirh. : ardsop, of tlio Democratio Con! gressional campaign committee. | He is very confident and believes th&t the tendency of public opinion is strongly turned towards Democracy. Among other rensous for his belief he gave these: "1 believe that the imperial policy of the present administration is more heortily condemned by tho great mass of tho people than any other important position assumed by any party for many years past, and the evident intention of the administation to organize & great standing army is also popularly disapproved of." Tho Anti-Imperial League, of Washington, sent a rather warm open letter to Senator llonr, from which the following is taken: "In your public utterances vou have most solemnly declared that this policy of the President, if pursued, 'will bo the abandonment of principles upon which our government is fouiuli d; that it will change our ropublic into an empire; that i our methods of legislation, of diplomacy, of administration must hereafter be those which belong to empires and not thoso which belong to republics.' Neverther less, with a full knowledge of these consequences, you now have faced J about and declare your intention to support the man who gives us notice that if elected he will coni tinuo his atrocious policy. To-day, in your apostasy, you announco yourself upon the side of those who would betray our country from i within." Representative McCulloch, of ' Arkansas, gives the following substantial reasons for his belief that Bryan and Stevenson will bo elected: "Bryan and Stevenson will carry all the States he cariicd ; in 189(5, and at least half a dozen ! that were carried by McKinley. The Democrats have a pood fighting chance of tarrying New York, but Bryan can be elected without the electoral votes of the Empire State. The total number of votes in the electoral college is 117. , Pour years ago Mr. McKinley had j 271, and Bryan 17<?, a majority for ; McKinley of 95. It will be seen that a change of 48 electoral votes is nil that is necessary to elect Bryan. 1 figure that the 18 votes of Kentucky, 12 of which in IS!M5 wore for McKinley, will this year bo for Bryan. Of the other States nnrriurl 1 oIt i ?!/.?? - ^~ ? i v??* t fc/j mv jviinrj , iuui ytrarw ago, Bryan will this your tarry Maryland with its 8 votes, Wont Virginia with (1, Indiana with 15, I Michigan with 11, and M innesota with 9. This will givo a total of 01 votes, which will change from the McKinley to the Bryan column or 10 more than Bryan needs to assure his election. lie can fail to carry any one of the six States 1 have named and yet bo elected." Mr. McCnlloch ia also contident that the Democrats will coutrol the i\e^t JTouac, i The Horn 1<1. (-apt. J. W. Marshall, who ivns employed by the city council to ! take Rock Hill's suburban population, completed his work a few days a^o and will submit his report to-the council next Monday ni^ht. It will show that there are 1,211) persons living in lvock Hill whose homes are not inside the corporate limits. The population within the corporate limits is understood to lack about a dozen of bciny 0,500, ! so that the combined population is about 0,705. In 1800 the corporate j limits embraced nearly all the inhabitants of the town, the Manchester mill having been built since liSth), as was tho Clinton Institute, 1 ; with its outiro community c>f ! homes. It is from these two sources : the suburban population is ob- | tained. The population in lS'JO was 2.711. The gain in population therefore has been about 3,t>(?l, or about 100 per cent. If wo deduct the subuibun population, tJio gain over 1800 has been 2,712, u fraction , 1 less tluiti 100 per cent. An Impending MarrUpe. This evening at t) o'clock Miss Mamie Menchntn,one of Fort Mill's ; most popular and accomplished young adies, is to be married to j Rev. E. S. Reeves, pastor of the First Baptist church in Statesvillo, j N. C. The ceremony is to Ik* performed at tho homo of the prospective bride's parents, Dr. und Mrs. T. B. Mcaclium, by Rev. A. Finch. | Mr. Reeves is well known in this i community, having been pastor of tko Fort Mill Baptist church a ( few year*> ago. Death of a Qoo<J Man. Mr. S. A.
