In the bank of Columbia Wednesday morning the subscription lists were opened to raise a fund for the erection of a monument to N. G. (Jronzales, late editor of The State. One thousand dollars was subscribed during the morning and it is believed the fund will reach $5,000 in a short time. All Columbia banks are authorized to receive sudscriptions. r An ineffectual attempt was made to rob the bank at Moxsville, N. C.. H few nights ago. The noise of the explosion aroused the rasher, who, with another oflieer of the hank, rushed to the building and wero tired upon by the robbers. A number of shots were exchanged, but no one was injured. The robbers obtained a small amount of loose money before they were driyep away. ~ . * .* ? vjii ine fourth ballot Wednesday the general assembly of Sooth Carolina elected Chas.

At a meeting of the directors of the Highland Park Manufacturing Company it was decided to locate the $450,000 cotton mill on the Wadsworth-Pegrani farm, two miles north of the city. The site of the big plant will be the present municipal watershed. It is remenibeied that at their meeting last Tuesday the water commissioners Agreed to vacate the shed if the corporation would, agree to undertake the erection, within nine months, of a plant to- cost approximately $100,000. At their meeting yesterday the directors formerly decided to accept the offer of the commissioners, Mr. C. W. Johnson, the secretary and treasurer of the Highland Park Company, informed an Observer reporter yesetrday that the work on the new mill would begin ftituoei immediately and that the plant wonld cost about $450,000. The mill will have about 30,000 spindles and l.OtX) looms^and will hie erected and ready for operation by January 1st.. The plant will l>e larger than any of the mills owned by the Park Company,?

( The postotfice inspectors who j worked up the case had a pood deal of circumstantial evidence , ngainst the men in the shape of ] burglar tools, large sums of money and various suspicious articles found in their possession. To the | postoffrce inspector, who interviewed each of the men separately, Howard claimed that he was employed in Grant's restaurant at a salary of $25 per month, but that he was able to live well because he had been sent $2,800 last summer. Dugan asserted that lie is an A us- | tralian by birth, but has been before the mast for several years and now lives as much in Alexandria, Vs., as at. any other point. lie had been in Columbia two months 1 vi' lint) u ? roc f n/1 VI a % ??? ? .... ff tM aiivoi.ru, 1 ir \y nn ft ft 111 HUM" by trade. Nolan, a New Yorker, came to Columbin about fair week, having about $IKH) with him. He bad played in several gambling houses being a card sharp by profession. At one time he had dropped $7l>0 in a game in a local urnmbliug house in one night. i McKinley told the inspector that his home was in Covington, Ky., and that he met Dugau at Alexandria, and came to Columbia with him. When he went to Charleston he slept in a box car. (When the inspector gave this latter statement McKitdey appeared abashed by the broad smiles of the other three men). The inspector's further testimony was minute in detail and covered the most important facts of the case dealing with the conditions of the broken safes he inspected in his search for evidence in the several places.

Mr. Iloaglaud had driven one of i his I test teams to the dam anil had entered tin? house of a friend, leaving his horse hitched to a fence near the house. He remained in the house only a short while, hut on coming out, discovered that his team win missing. Thinning that Home one had played a jok?j on him by removing the horse, he made j n thorough search of the premises j hut failed to iiud his team. On the following morning Mr. Hong- j land phoned to the officers of all j the nearby towns to look tint f ?r i the team, giving a description of the horse and vehicle. Nothing was heard of the stolen team until ; last Thursday, when Mr. Hoaglaiul , got a message from Chester s ating , that a stay horse had been found on the roadside near that place. Descriptions of the lost and found tallied exactly, except for the bug- ! gy, which was considerably wreck- j ed. Mr. Hoagland sent a colored 1 man to Chester Fridav and lie re. 1 turned late in the afternoon with the horse, tlnj buggy being ho b?ul- . ly broken that it could not be removed.

The Worlds Fair at St. Louis : will be approximately twice as large as any former international: exposition. The Centennial Exposition at ; Philadelphia covered 230 acres, the Paris Exposition, 33b acres, the I Polumbiau Exposition at Chicago, >33 acres. The World's Fair at ' St. Louis will cover 1180acres. The estimated construction cost :>f the St. Louis World's Fair is 130,000,000, and its total costs will be upwards of $40,000,000 by the j time the work is coinp.eteil. Be- ; fore the Exposition gates are open, ; Ihe city of St. Louis will have ex- J ponded the enormorous sum of j $20,000,000. t)f this iinmnnt 1)00.000 was appropriated for the Kail* through tlio Municipal As- j sembly.

Tliev C-? J therefore ask the help of every man, woman and child, in order that the entire South may share j in the honor. It is befitting that | to the dauntless chieftain and his heroic followers those two monuments ho raised iu the Capital of the Confederacy, the one spot which can never lose its identity with the cause for which they stru^jiled and died. IVrsoiiH in this auction who j wish io contribute articles to the i bazaar will kindly send them to I Mrs. J. B. Mack, vice-president of the South Carolina Memorial Association, who will promptly forward them to Richmond. A Striking Contrast. From McKinley to Roosevelt! What chances within sixteen short , months! WhatH crime that which Czolgosz committed when he took away from ua such a president and put upon uk such another. Surely, no assassin's bullet ever wrought so much havoc. MKcinley?respected even by his political I enemies; beloved by millions, white and black; the friend and benefactor of the negro and yet a Caucasian in all his instincts; a gentle, high-minded, noble man, the president of all the people; the healer j of sectional wounds-the ''peacemaker" blessed by all. Roosevelt? respecter of no one and respected by few; "high-plane" politician with the mask torn off; olevated to high position by good luck, good bluff and an Anarchist's bullet; rough rider, dead shot and allaround athlete, raised out of his element, a cowboy steering the ship of State. Surely, if Czolgosz could have weighed the consequences of his rash act his cruel heart would have relented, and he would have been gipltless of the double crime of a President's murder and his country's humiliation.?

Hardly had these men been securely jailed before a runner came , with the news that two more men of like appearance and suspicions demeanor had been just seen in the same vicinity where these had been captured.
