The great strike among the miners of the Pennsylvania coal regions which is ordered by John Mitchell, president of the United Mine Work ers’ Association, will naturally awaken much thought and serious reflection on the general subject of coal. The strike promises to be one of the greatest of the century not only in tne number of the strikers but in the elTects that will be felt over the entire world. It is esti mated that 112,(XK) miners will g> out and that the mines will inevitably be closed. Germany is already threatened with a coal famine; England has none t,o spare; while the vastly increasing consumption in the United States and on the seas, has been gradually curtailing the over-abundance in this country and forcing the price upwards. The full results of the closing of the Pennsylvania mires even temporarily can only be con jectured; though it is certain that trie lirst tangible resuit, will be greater scarcity and still higher prices. In view of tills fact it may bo well for those in this immediate section, who are contemplating having grates put into their bouses, to use wood awhile longer; and those who have been using coal for warnin g pur poses may have to aboli h their grates and return to wood. Several years ago there was not a pound of coal used in Galluey. YVe remember that at onetime we needed a lump o. two for experimental pur poses and we had to obtain it from a railroad engineer. YVe have no means ai iian i of Knowing how much is used now :n one season, but wo know that for domestic purposes alone the quantity must be immense borne down by numbers and almost annihilated. President Kruger is virtually a prisoner and his country will pass under the dominion of foreigners by what they call “'the righ'sof war,” which are nothing more than the assumptions of con scienceless arrogance and unrestricted power. Thus have the strong al ways trampled down the weak and despoiled them of their inheritance, ‘‘by the rights of war,” and thus will the strong ever do, until human nature shall undergo a radical change. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Every one who possibly can should be present at the formal opening cf Limestone College, in the new audi torium, next Thursday morning at 10 o’clock. There will be several short speeches made by distingu shed gentlemen, among them President .Montague, of Furman University. Thu young ladies began to arrive lu?t Saturday and nearly every train since has been bringing in the advance forces, while today the main body will arrive. Everything points to the grandest opening that Limestone College lias ever had and our citizens by nil means slionld turn out next Tour- day and show by their presence that the) appreciate the attendance of - > many young ladies from different parts of the country. A cordial in vitation is extended by the college authorities to all. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The long drought closed last Fri day. It bad made a feint or two of closing before, but did not get down to real business until the dry men tioned, when all day long the rain fell gently and was absorbed by the thirsty earth like a sponge. On Fri day night the work was supplemented and He tied •.villi sev- r.tl copious down pours and the ground was pretty well saturated. The drought ua- not so long as some-that are remein- b. red, but on account of live pro- loiigul and intense heat, it was the severest oo ncord. Had it set in a month earlier crops would have t - n totally ruined and much priva tion and suffering would have fol lowed. As it is, the prospect is not so bad. There will probably be mu le in this section a full half crop of corn and cotton, and good fail pastures, and eleven or twelve cents for cotton will go far towards making amends for shn't crops. The horrors of the Galveston dis aster grow ns the details come to light. It is now certain that the the first accounts instead of being exaggerated, wore far short of the whole truth. Probably five thous and psopo* lost their lives and ten In Spartanburg, farme-rs last winter I thousand more lost all of their ix miles from town, | earthiy possessions. No disaster of such appalling magnitude has ever before b.fallen any town or city on the American continent. The situu- t /n ap cals to the sympathies and liberality of the country in no uncer tain tones, and right nobly is the country it^ponding. Up to last l?nt- tirduy night about one and a hal- millions of dollars had been contri buted and the amount will be doubled before the close of this week. R lief trains are Hying from the four q urters of the continent, laden with supuHi s of ev ry kind and the fact is every where in evidence, that the country has a big heart after all. GulT'ioy ought to send a liberal con- trihuiiou and that at once. living live or were sai i to ho using coal in prti»r- ence to the wood that could be had for th ; cutting and hauling. Of course while wood is as plenti ful ai it is jet iii tins country there is no immediate danger of suffering in this section for the want of coal. Manufacturers who dopjiiJ on it for power will be put to inconven ience. Uu- toe prospect of a coal famine, or even of temporary scarcity, raises a far broader question than that of im ne date supply. \\ hut is to take the place of coil when the supply now stored up iu the earth shall be exhausted, or when it shall have become so scarce and high as to be out of reach of the poor or people of even J irdi nary means'/ Hiv will such ■ ities us New York and London exi-it, to say nothing of hundreds of thousands of smaller cities and tewns? How will the railroads and the world oi machinery he operated? What will become of the yr« at ocean steamers, the iron foundries, the th msaiid and one industries that j depend on coal for their existence? It is safe to say ttiat about all of the coal beds in the eartli have been definitely located. The deposit it is true, is immense, but it is limited, and the process of formation ceam d ages ago. The smallest co.tl li dd in the United States is tin Rhode Island which comprises an area of I J(><) square miles; the largest is the .Mis souri which covers 100,000 equate m.les, or an urea alnut equal to that o' three stales of the size oi South Carolina. Tne thick ness of the coal beds is at some places only that of paper; at others, it is from thirty to i >r:j f i t. When we consider that u cnui L d will yiel i about 1,0 10 0,0 of Ions o the square mile lor every loot in thickness, we get some i i«a of H.e vast quantity yet to po m ■ ei.

The Dying Man Indicated That Ills As sailant was 1'aul K. Bratton, Who Was Arrested—No Direct Evidence and Much Yet Remains In Deep Mystery. [Special to The State.) Rock Hill, Sept. 16—A terrible tragedy, behind which it is supposed there lies a scandal, was enacted here this morning at about 1:30 o’clock. Mr. H. A. Drown (Harry Brown) the well known painter, was shot twice while in his bed at his homo. The deed was done by a w r ell-dressed man who called up Mr. Brown’s brother- in-law’, Mr. Neel, and asked to sec* Brown about some painting. When the door was opened and Mr. Neel started back to wake Brown the man followed him in and as soon as he caught sight of his victim, rushed up and at close range fired two balls into him. The first shot struck in the side and ranging down lodged in the bowels The second shot was divert- ei by Mr. Neel, who caught the as sassin's arm and disarranged his aim Tliis shot shattered Brown’s arm The man then rushed out, jumped into the waiting carriage and was driven ranidly away. There was an other white man in the carriage. Brown died at 6 o’clock this morn ing. Brown was an Englishman whose family is good. His brothers are ar tists of ability and iiave for twenty or more years f>. < n connected with the “Graphic,” “Black and White’ and other high class journals twelve years ago he married Miss J. nnio N't < i, a daughter of Mr. I’res- . n A. Neel, and a grund-daughter of Hen. YY’in. Neel, of Mecklenburg eo intv, N. G. Stic, with four chii- dr on survives him. The inquest was begun today. At th? adjournment no direct evidence as to the identity of Brown’s slayer hud come out. The circumstantial evidence was such that Acting Goro- ner Beckham ’phoned the sheriff i.t Yorkvillo and ordered the arrost of Mr. Paul R. Bratton and a colored driver named YY’iil Caldwell It came out that Thursday night Brown had been in Yorkvillo and while there had a (iilfi-uity with Paul Brat ton’s brother, John S. Bratton. This morning at 1 o’clock Paul Bratton came across the country in a closed surrey, driven by Ca'dwell, and upon reaching hero made inquiry for Brown’s residence. Caldwell also Slid Mi. Bratton came to see Painter Brown and that he “had to see him tonight.” The carriage containing Mr. Bratton and another man. whose identity has not been ascertained, drove rapidly in the direction of Brown’s rt-suience about the tune o f the shooting and in a half hour or less returned and drove rapidly away from town towards Yorkville. The witness who bad talked with Mr. Bratton and knew him, also saw the carriage return and recognized it as the same and the driver to be Cald well. The coroner adjourned the inquest until tomorrow at 10 o’clock to have the jury hear the evidence of the col ored driver, Caldwell. In Brown’s ante mortem statement, he said the shooting was done by one of three men, viz : Amry Crocket, Gale or Bratton himself. (Evidently refer ring to Jno. S. Bratton with whom it is understood he had a difficulty Thursday night. Later after those in the room bad spoken of Paul Bratton being in town. Brown was asked three times if Paul Bratton shot him. Each time he made a sound considered by the wit nesses us being an allirmative answer. Mr. Neel, the brother-in-law of Brown, did not know the man who did the shooting and has not seen Bratton. Brown’s body was taken through the country today to Steel Creek church yard in Mecklenburg county, Mrs. Brown’s old home, where the inter ment will take place. Mr. YY\ Bratton do Loach came ovnr this aft, moon and will represent Mr. Bratton when the coroner’s jury sits again. Holicitor Henry also comes up to-night.

Some Heavy Purehu^en of Government itomiri. New York, Sept. 15.—Some high grade financiering has been done in this city within recent years, one of the conspicuous cases'has been that of the New York Life Insurance Gom- pany. It will be remembered that Fresidenj John A. McCall, of the New Y ork Lile, went to YY’ashington at the time when this county made its last governmental loan in Jan" uary, 181/0, and put in a bid on Ln- huii oi Lis company for $i(>,UUU,000 ot the loan. Foitunulejj for tin policyiioidtrs oi ine company, the Oij La[q;ened to beat exactly the right L 0 urc‘, and the company obtain ed the euttie $10,000,000. It j» uuuer- etood tbat the company has sold these bonds from nine to lime at an average psofii ol 25 p* r cent. At the p.eae: t time when American govern ment bonds are seiiiug on a 2 per cent, basis, the president evidently foreseeing that the European govern ments would this summer be at about me same cn^dition financially that the United Slates was tour or live y< trs ago, has gone to Europe and t .rough his negotiations, secured for h.a company $2,50J,000 of the New British exchequer loan, which has uiready advanced 1 1-2 per c< nt. He nas also secured $5 uqo.UOO of tne new imperial German 4 per cent, gold man, which it is understood the company gels at par. All this is considered pretty good business, and us lliere are about 500 OUU holders of tne companies policies, it is easy lo understand their satisfaction with this showing. There position is the more interesting because their com pany is a purely mutual organization in which the policyholders are the only stockholders. l.tta .Line KtcliliiKM.

Another relief train loaded with supplies for the Galveston storm suf ferers passed through Gaffney Sun day afternoon. It consisted of nine cars and was from 1’hiladelphia and New Y’ork. Gaffney was visited by a good, steady soaking ruin last Friday and tsaturday which laid the dust, cooled the atmosphere and refreshed things and people in general. It came too late, however, to be of very much benefit to crops, except, perhaps, to late corn potatoes and the like.
