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 deposit! account was full and loans had I been made to the amount of! about $1.>(),<)()<).

There is General Beliet in Hul ler's Reported Advance But no Official Confirmation. London, Fob. 5, 4 :30 a. m.?Ai though thero is no actual con firmation of the report that Gen. 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.

The reports that the Boers ar? ^ reconcentrating around Lady i, smith are also an indication that f preparations are being made t< 0 resist 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.
