cotton mill at this place, At a recent
meeting of the stockholders it was decided
to name the mill ''The Standard Cotton
Mill,n a considerable interest is mani
| tested by citizens in this new enterprise,
and it is definitely settled that we will
have the factory. The factory fever seems
to have taken the people of eastern York.
| A prominent citizen of Fort Mill was in
our town last week and informed me that
Fort Mill will build another cotton factory
soon, on the installment plan.
Our citizens are pleased to know that
the Senate has confirmed the nomination
of Miss B. V. Wood as postmistress at this
place. Miss Wood has been connected
with the Office for eighteen years and
makes an efficient and popular officer.
Captain w. l.. Roddey is still in New
York, where he has been for several days
attending a meeting of the directors Of the
Three C's Railroad.
The town council have presented their
worthy marshal with a handsome regula-
ton uniform, which he donned for the
first time yesterday.
1t is likely that Rock Hill will have an
arbor day shortly, and that the children
of the town will be asked to set out trees
along the avenues leading to the graded
school and around the building.
u. S. Commissioner G.. j. Pride and
Deputy Marshal T. G. Beckham left on

again, the conclusion being that he did not

ten years. II

CONGREss.-The proceedings of Con-
gress last week were of no Importance. A
Washington dispatch Of Sunday outlines
as follows the probable work in the two
houses the present week:
The educational bill begins its fifth
week of consideration in the Senate to-
morrow and Senator Call has the floor for
a speech upon it. 1t is likely to be set
aside temporarily, as it has been hereto
fore, with the assent Of Mr.. Blair, for a
variety of purposes. Senator Salisbury
proposes to call up tomorrow his resolu-
ting relating to international coinage for
debate and action. Senator Platt has Civ
en- notice Of his purpose to speak to-
morrow upon the tariff and the Presi-
dents message, although he may be de-
layed by Senator Saulsbury's resolution
until Tuesday, and Senator Teller, if good
opportunity occur, will address the Sen
ate on the same subject later in the week.
Senator Beck is booked for a reply at an
early day to Senator Browns speech upon
internal revenue.
Senator Davis expects to cali up for &C.
ton during the week the dependent pen
sion bill.
Senator Riddleberger promises to be
heard at some length by his colleagues
and, if he can effect it, by the public as
we'll, upon the British eXtradition treaty
and secret session.
The Indiana contested election case will
come before the House tomorrow as un-
finished business, and several hours time
will be at the disposal Of those members
who wish to speak upon the subject. The
temper of the House at adjournment on
Saturday seemed to warrant the belief
that the case will be disposed of to-mor-
row. If any time remains afterwards Mr..
Grain, of Texas, will seek to have passed
under suspension of the rules his proposed
Constitutional amendment fixing the first
day of January as the date for the assem-
bling of Congress.
The urgent deficiency appropriation bill
will probably he pressed to the point of
passage early in the week, and if Mr.. Fo-
ly% recovered, he will ask the House to take
which is in his charge.
During the morning hours the House
will occupy itself in the consideration of
measures reported favorably by the judi
ciary committee concerning bills Of lading
and mitigating the penalties for the viola
ton of the revenue laws, Mr.. French's
exposition bill, and perhaps MIR. Dingley's
bill to authorize the investment Of the ma
tional bank redemption fund.
ANOTHER VICTIM.-A Columbia dis
patch of Saturday says: Another South
Carolina victim of New York 'green
goods" has been heard from. His name is
DIR. Pryor, and he lives in Union county.
The doctor and several Of his neighbors
made a purse Of four hundred dollars,
which they sent on to the enterprising
dealers, whose circular they had received,
requesting him to send the "green goods"
by express to Gaffney City, on the Pied
mont Air Line Railroad, and in due time
the package arrived, and when opened
was found to contain a roll of green paper
and a quantity of saWdust.
DR.. Pryor has written sympathetic let
tiers of coincidence to County Commissions
Perkins, of Lancaster, S. G., who recently
