WESTMINSTER STEAM LAUNDRY Jt ia Exacted Activo Work Will IK Begun Next Week. Dr. H. E. Rosser, of Westminster, was in Walhalla yesterday, and he informed us that it is the intention of the promoters of the Westminster Steam Laundry to begin active work ls the 'laundry business next week. This new company wants to do the laurfdry work for Oconee, and we heartily commend them to our peo p?o. There is no good reason why we should send money out of the county for things that can bo bought here or for work that our local peo ple can do Just as well as others. It is intended to put on at once col lecting and delivery wagons, which will visit Walhalla aud Seneca each week. It ls probable .that the col lecting will be done in Walhalla on Mondays, in Seneca Tuesadys; deliv ery will be made in Walhalla Thurs days, in Seneca Fridays. This, how ever, will be arranged detlnltely later so as to conform to the wishes of the patrons of the enterprise. Local agencies are wanted here and at Sen eca for the business. Aside from *the regular collar and cuff and small-piece/ laundry work, the new company will take full fam ily washings at pound rates, charg ing 5 cents per pound for unslurchcd articles, and 8 cents per pound for starched articles, both washed and Ironed. This rate, Dr. Rosser in formed us, is sllgh'?y less than 10 per cent advance over the ordinary prices charged by wash women. The new concern should be given a liberal patronage, and with satis factory work there ls no reason why lt should not soon he doing the en tire laundry work for Oconee county.

Columbia^ Feb. 6.-Magistrate R. Lebby Clement, of Wndmalaw Is land, Charleston county, was- In the city yesterday with a very surprising story of n condition of affairs in lils Island. He has been magistrate there for several years, having been app?lnted by Tillman when he wns Governor. Latterly the constables he has appointed have been mysteri ously disappearing. He luis lost two wbhin the past few months and the two he now has have received a warning from the Black Hand Socie ty ot the Island that their time was near nt hand if they did not give up their positions. Besides this, the barns and buildings on two of Mag istrate Clement's places have been burned. He ls determined to ferret out the perpetrators of the crimes, if possible, and to this end has secur ed private detectives, and comes here to get the Governor to offer rewards for information leading to the con viction of the parties guilty of the recent crimes. He will personally du plicate tho reward offered hy the Governor. The situation on Hie island ls real ly alarming. Magistrate Clement at tributes it to a secret organization of the negroes, Who greatly outnum ber the whites. There were forty-three white men on the island In Republican times. Over 1.200 negroes used to vole and their number ls greatly Increased now. He ls obliged to have negro constables, .foi he can't get whttc men. Of course lt ls mainly against the negroes that the arm of the law ls used. This negro secret society is believed to be the centre of disturb ance Several well authenticated stories from (hjs and surrounding Islands show ii really alarming statt1 of law lessness on the part ol" the negroes. If attempt is made to break up the eangs trouble ls sure to follow. Governor Ansel will, upon receiv ing and going? over the papers, offer a J w ward.
