T.?It is stated tbat in order to more successfully combat the union formed arnopg ! the operatives of the State, the cotton mill men of South Carolina will organize. A cotton mill :ofticiul, who passed through Florence yesterday morning, said that | a meeting would he held in Green iile Tuesday of next week for the purpose, it is inferred from whut he said, of discussing union | labor. At this meeting, it is said, there will be representatives from every cetton mill in the State, and seme sort of an organization will be effected. In talking yesterday morning the cotton mill man used this ex pression: "It has come to a pretty pass where a man cannot run his own affairs. We cannot afford to have the same conditions here that prevail in the north, where the Knighis of Labor are supreme, and you may go in your order and hare the man laugh in your face, and be powerless to enforce it." So from this it looks like there will be a sequel to the Columbia strike. It was understood from what the official in question said that the cotton mill men of the State hare been in touch with the Whaley mills during the trouble. M. C. B. HOW'S THIS?

AN TIL | The Colombia Hilt Strike Strikers Leaving the City and say ii^The>^ftr? Out to Stay Out. Special to Greanville News. Columbia, Sept 4.?The striking operatives are leaving the city and a good many are going to the mills about Augusta. The cotten mills are getting in additional help and report that a stack of applications were received today. It is claimed that tifteen operatives who have been eut on the strike returned to their work today and that there are more spindles and looms at work than there have been at any time eince the strike was ordered. i The mill officials are receiving letters from all parts of the State offering to come to Columbia and to work. One party in Dsrlinpton county will ceme here and writes that he has twelve in family who are able to work in the mills. It is these kind ef offers from which Iha milU aim*/.* *" more than make up their help lost on account of the strike. The statement is made that all of the families, with very few ex* captions of the strikers have moved out of the mill heuses and made arrangements. Some of them have left the city and others for the present are living in other rented houses. The disposition on the part of the mill operatives who are out on the strike is to gee out ef the mill houses as soon as possible.? The strikers insist that they have ne idea of giving up their tight and that they are out to stay out and that tbey can get other pesi lions without the least trouble and that the mills will suffer more than they will.

The State, 5th inst. The G overnor yesterday did something he does not often do? ho pardoned a man convicted of l arson. The man was dames Bar nett, convicted m July 1S95, in Union county ?>nd sentenced to 15 years in the penitentiary. The following sworn affidavit, signed by Mr. B. F. Arthur, es tablishing an alibi and showing the P n boy was wrongfully convicted, was was presented : "Personally appeared B F Ar^ thur, who upon oath says that on 1 the 7th day of June, 1898, I, in company with my wife, Mrs. Josie Arthur, were walking on the track of the Southern railway, in the direction of the city of Union. 'Thatmy attention won attracted to a small fire about one and one-half miles to the North ef Union court house. "That when within a few yards of the Union depot, 1 passed, recognized, and spoke to one James Barnett, who was leisurely walking from the direction of Union towards the direction of said fire, about one and one half miles dis] tant. I "That James Barnett was then about one and one~half miles from t said fire, which had ^been burning but a few moments. "That at the time of the trial of said James Burnett, 1 did not know that he was 011 trial or was accused of any offense whatever. "That it was a physical impossibility for the said James Barnett t# have set said house on tire." Kr-Solicitor Schumpert wrote the governor as follows : "I most heartily recommend that a pardon be granted in this case, as I am satisfied that if Mr. and Mrs. B F Arthur had testified at the trial the defendant would not have been convicted?in fact, 1 would not have urged it." And Judge Benet endorsed on ! the petition : "I agree with Mr. Solicitor Schumpert in his repoit and re commendation." SS. t>o tion.

Tinimonsville, Sept. 4 ?The | sudden disappearance of Mr Frank | (J. Lechner, cashier of the Bank of ! Titnuionsville is uo longer a mys| # j tery. When the cashier first dis. appeared it was hoped that a sat.. isfactory explanation would he ; forthcoming, one that would not involve his integrity, but an exanimation of the hank's hooks dis I pels such hope*. ; The directors have heeu busily engaged in this work, and although they have only fairly hegun, it is ascertained that the cashier is shert some $5,000. What a thorough search will reveal no j one can fo'-esay. It is feared that a much more serious shortage will , he found. As the examination goes on it develops that Mr. LechHers' private affairs arc in a very bad condition and he has proba ' bly worried over them for some time. His business plans did not mature and he became desperate. Mr. Lechner was bonded by a security company to the amount of $10,000. I The president of the bank, Mr. John McSween, and the directois announce that no patron of the bank *ill suffer and that the stand i ing of the bank will not be impair* ed.
