SS 1T Is impossible for spinning
mill to make money at present prices OF
cotton and yarn" said a we'll inform
ed local mill man, Monday. 1.-THE ten
dency Of the price of yarn Is downward
rather than upward, and just now,
with the best that can be done, the
margin Of profit on manufactures is
hardly more than one-half a cent a
pound"
"a There Is much more than purely
local interest in the Bob Taylor lecture
to be delivered in Freidheim's hall, in
Rock Hill, next Friday evening, under
the. auspices Of the s. D. Barron chap
ter Of the Daughters of the Confedera-
cy. The chapter is exceedingly anxious
to raise funds with which to erect the
proposed monument at Ebenezer, and
engaged Governor Bob Taylor because
it believes in giving It's friends the
worth Of their money. The indications
are that there will be a large crowd in
attendance, and that is what the chap
ter fully deserves.
aGr While there Is quite a strong feel
ing among the officials Of some Of the
spinning mills Of this section, in favor
of going into the Underwood merger
scheme, nothing will be done without
the unanimous consent Of the stock
holders. AS matter Of fact nothing
can be done without such consent.
S1y Mr.. Amos Revels, Of Guthriesville,
says he has lived on rented land all his
life and has never bought more than
10 bushels Of corn. According to his
way Of looking at the matter, 1t is not
good policy for a farmer to own more
land than he can work himself.
sg It was Major James F. Hart who
called such emphatic attention last fall
ito the disgraceful condition Of the road
between Yorkville and Tirzah, especial
ly the Robinson hill, and who took a
leading part in raising the subscription
that resulted in the transfer Of the
chaingang to that section. The major
rode out last Saturday afternoon to see
the much-talked of improvement on
the "Simril HILL" and when he found it
to be a fact that his horse could trot
with his buggy where only a few
months ago it was difficult to climb,
he was delighted. He thinks that as
the result Of the improvements that
have been made, many farms out that
way have been doubled in value. and
that by all means, the landowners and
others should proceed to lay down at
least twice as much rock as has al
ready been hauled.
IA If there was a great deal Of drunk
enness on Saturday before last, there
must have been considerably more on
last Saturday, because the dispensary
sales were so much larger. Speaking
last Saturday of what he saw on the
previous Saturday, a leading citizen
said: II rode out during the af-
ternoon with my wife. We first went
up the Kings Mountain road, and on
our return we met quite a number of
drunk men, white and sblack. We cut
across to the Adair's Ferry road and
observed the same condition of affairs
there. Then later we went down the
Pinckney road, and going and coming
we saw no less than a dozen men who
were just beastly drunk. have lived
a long while and been about a great
deal; but 1 do not remember to have
seen so much drunkenness before dur
ing a single afternoon"
SJ Mr.. D. c. Clark has been advised
that the free delivery service on route
No. 1, on which he is to be carrier,
goes into effect on July /, next. The
route goes out Of Yorkville by way of
the Kings Mountain road to Bethany,
and thence across to the Adair's Ferry
road and back to Yorkville. There has
been some misapprehension as to the
requirements as to boxes, great many
people being under the impression that
two or more families can have mail
delivered into the same box. This Is
mistake. The positive rule of the de-
partment is mo box, no mail" There
must be box for every family, or at
