Rock HILL, January 9.-Messrs. A
Friedheim & Brother will move into
their new store about the first of Feb.
ruary. They have one of the best
arranged for convenience and most
roomy store buildings in the state.
None excepted. Besides this, don't
suppose there is a prettier front on any
building in the upper part of the coun-
try, and a more substantial building
will not be found anywhere for store.
house. These gentlemen deserve cred
it for their work, as it is a building
that is fit to ornament any city.
The Roddey building, on the corner
of Main and Depot streets, is gradual
ly going up, and will soon assume
such shape and appearance as to kind
er show up what it will look like when
finished. This being a corner building,
Captain w. L. Roddey expects to put
such finish on it as to give it quite a
city look. The National Union bank
will be located on the ground floor OF
this building, and the Masonic temple
will be on the third floor.
Mr.. W. A. Fewell is still pushing
the brokerage business with success,
Notwithstanding the midwinter season.
Captain w. A. Stewart, the affable
and efficient conductor of the South
Carolina and Georgia railway, stopped
over and spent Friday evening with
his daughter, who is attending VIM
throp college.
The old Catawba Rifles will attempt
to reorganize on Monday evening. 1t
is to be hoped that the boys will get
together again alright and that the
company will be stronger than ever.
There is no reason, if they organize
alright, why they should stand other
than as the best company in the state,
rs 70 per cent. of the old company
had six mouths experience in the re-
cent volunteer army.
There is much needed avenue be-
ing opened up from Captain lredell
Jones' and the Manchester mill, to
connect with White street, nearly in
front of the Sims house. This devel
OPS some beautiful building lots in
"Egypt," besides adds another splendid
driving avenue to the many which
Rock Hill now already possesses.
Very little cotton is being shipped
from here now, as the local cotton
mills are stocking up fer the spring and
summer.
Every factory and industry in the
city except one, is hard at work ; some
of them running night and day, thus
giving employment to q double force
of hands. The Rock Hill Cotton fac.
tory has been shut down for sometime
for repairs and enlargements, as the
capacity of the mill is expected to be
doubledin the next few months.
Mr.. R. Lee Kee, the energetic and
courteous cashier of the Commercial
and Farmers bank, has gone north Oh
short business trip.
Miss Ida Johnson, of Leslie, went
home today.
Mr.. A. Trip, the popular and ener-
getic division superintendent of the s.
c. & G. railway, spent a few hours in
the city today on business.
Miss Daisy Huey returned to ker-
shaw today, where she is employed as
millner for the Kershaw Banking and
Mercantile company.
The business outlook for the coming
season is fattering, especially so for
the beginning of a new year.
