Charlotte, N. O., Feb. 3.?The Commercial and Farmers hank at Rock Hill, S. C., closed its doora at. 1:15 this afternoon. A run startbd on the hank in the pecond week of December and continued until yesterday, the t.o fcal run amounting to $05,000. Bank directors are men of means and it is believed depositors will be paid in full LATKR. Rock Hill, February 5 ?Spe I cial: On Saturday th?" directors of the Commercial and Farmers' Bank of this place, asked for the onnniiihiipnf of ? rncAivnr This .. - - , action was taken from the fact that during the past month there has been a sharp demand for money on the part, of the depositors. The bank was capitalized at $SO,000, and of this amount between forty and lifry thous nd had been paid in. The deposit! account was full and loans had I been made to the amount of! about $1.>(),<)()<). During Decern her and January the withdrawal! of deposits was so large that the amount of cash on hand not sufficient to meet riincii' demands, and it was impossible <> realize on assets a sulljeient amount.

Buller has recrossed the Tugela on a third desperate attempt to relieve Ladysimtb, it is known f that the war office has received 1 several South African dispatches t which have not yet been publish 1 ed, and if the advance is an ac t tual fact, the secret is being well ? kept. a There are newspaper dispatches c in plenty from Spearman's camp t up to Sunday, but there is no hint that an advance had been begun. 1 and it is assumed in some quar- [ ters here that Lord DundoualdV reconnoissance in the district o' J iiongars Port may be the onh <1 foundation for the statement t that Gen.

They are in earnest and have gone nto the fight to win. All portions >f the county were represented. The meeting was called to or ler by Col. P. B.

A call was made for Mr. T H Elainsford. He arose and said, in aart, that he came to listen and earn. All that he knew about he matter was what he had seen n the papers. When he was a member of the South Carolina General Assembly he had introduced a bill, which became a law. opposing trusts. lie had studied :he question, and he had reached :he conclusion that unless trusts were opposed and crushed, they would soon own the country, l'rusts shut out competition and io harm to the masses of the peoole. The people must organize tgainst trusts. The Virginia-Oar>lina Chemical company had tmught up everything in their i lie i ii order to shut out com pet i ion.
