LETTER FROM ROCK HILL.

Rock HILL, October 18.-Some of our cit
liens are interested in establishing stock
farm near this place for the purpose of rails
ing thoroughbred stock of all kinds. At a
meeting of those interested in the move
ment, held last Wednesday, it was decided
to organize company and open books of
subscription at once. The value Of the
shares will be $50 each, and it is proposed
to commence business with capital stock
of $4,000. A number of shares have already
been taken. 1t is hoped that the company
will be organized. The projectors are meet
ing with much encouragement.
~kmeeting of the stockholders of the Rock
Hill Academy was held on Friday last, the
object being to elect trustees and to devise
means for repairing the academy building,
which is in dilapidated condition. Messrs.
J. r. London, A. Friedheim, j. Lawrence
Moore and j. V. McFadden were elected
trustees. These gentlemen will confer with
the trustees of the school district and make
arrangements to have the necessary repairs
made. Our town certainly needs good
school building.
Mary Hughes, colored, who came to this
place from Charlotte about six months ago,
died quite suddenly this morning from
hemorrhage of the lungs. She was in the
employ of Mr.. w. A. Steele. This morn
ing she got up and started out of the house,
but on reaching the door she fell and ex-
pired in few moments. Trial Justice
Fewell was notified of the occurrence, but
deemed an investigation unnecessary.
Carrie Houser, a colored girl, was arrested
on last Monday, charged with stealing di-
amond ring from Mrs. A. E. Hutchinson.
She was given preliminary hearing be-
fore Trial Justice Fewell, and in default
of bail in the sum of 5000 was committed
to Jail at Yorkville. When arrested she
had the ring in her mouth. She had been
employed in the family of Captain Hutchi-
son as a nurse and must have stolen the
ring some weeks before the loss was discoY-
cred. -,
>Messrs. r. IT. Fewell & Co. are soon to
commence work on a telephone line be-
tween their store in this place and the res
idence of their father, Mr.. A. F. FeWell in
Ebenezer, distance of two miles. The in
struments have been received and as soon
as the wire arrives and the posts can be put
up Rock Hill will have telephone. 1t is
hoped that the line will eventually be ex-
tended to Yorkville.
Rev. E. n. Joyner, Chaplain of the Ca
taWba Rifles, preached to the company in
the Episcopal church last night. The chap
lain threw hot shot into their ranks, and if
they are not good men as we'll as soldiers,
it will be no fault of their chaplain, and
only because they did not follow the good
advice given by him.
Mr.. John Rattaree is rebuilding his sta
bles on his lot on Railroad street. On the
lot where his stables formerly stood he will
build three cottages to rent.
mfr. w. B. Knight, of Lancaster, and Miss

idence of the brides father on Wednesday
last. The happy couple took the north

noon on visit to friends in Monroe, N. c.
