ROCK HILL, Nov. 4-Although the
cotton market has had an upward ten
dency the past few days there has been
noticeable falling off in the receipts
on this market. The farmers say this
| is due to the fact that the bulk Of the
crop has been sold and there Is nothing
| like the, amount of cotton In the coun-
| try now that there was a month ago.
There is no doubt Of the fact that the
biggest part of the crop in this section
has already been marketed and ma
jority of the farmers have paid of all
their indebtedness and are In posi-
ton to hold the balance of their crop
until after Christmas If they wish to
do so. But it is also a fact that the
heaviest receipts on this market often
come in when the market Is on the
decline.
A commission having been issued by
the secretary Of state to the Farmers
Union Warehouse company OF ROCK
HILL books Of subscription to the cap
ital stock Of the company will be open
ed on Saturday, Nov. 9Th, at the office
Of Wilson & Wilson. The authorized
capital stock Is $4,000, shares s25 each.
The board Of corporators consist OF
the following gentlemen: F. c. Whit
ner, T. M. Allen, w. j. Miller, ]. b.
johnson, D. P. Leslie, ]. II. Steele, N.
| B. Williams, w. B. Wilson.
| The meat market dealers OF this city
can scarcely get enough pork TO sup
ply their customers. They cannot buy
the hogs. They say, however, 1t Is not
because the hogs are not In the coun-
| try. There are plenty Of them. and
number Of them will be sold later on.
| The farmers have plenty OF corn this
year and want to fatten their hogs be-
fore selling them. The dealers here
are paying from cents to 81 cents for
hogs on the foot. They have no trou-
BILE in securing all the beef cattle they
can use. There are now five markets
here.
| Since the Southern authorities have
decided to make Rock Hill the termi-
nal point for all freight trains on the
| Charleston division Of the Southern
between Marion and Kingville, instead
Of Blacksburg, those who are In po-
sition to know say there Is strong
probability Of the shops also being re-
moved to this CITY, Rock Hill being
centrally located between Marion and
Kingville, is really the proper place
for the shops and they will doubtless
be removed here during the coming
year.
The new hog ordinance recently
passed by the city council, Will ma
terially interfere with the raising or
hogs in the city; but the condition
some people allowed their hog pens to
| IL, fn1 onffnn taken nv
the council and board Of health. The
new ordinance requires all pens to be
forty feet square for each hog and not
| less than 100 feet from any house In
which a family is living. :,
The hunting season is now open and
the sportsmen are beginning to roam
the fields. A number of farmers have
their lands posted, however, and hunt
ers do not have free range Of the coun-
try as they did some years ago;

S. ], Kimballs big western horse
sale drew large crowd yesterday, de-
spite the rainy and disagreeable
weather. The prices realized ranged
from $35 to $50, only one bringing the
latter price. A majority Of the ami
mails sold for $45, $50 and $55. The
and vicious as when they were first
driven off the western prairies and
| the lassoing Of the animals after the
sale was over, furnished no little sport
and amusement for the several hum
dred spectators who gathered to wit
ness the performance. Several times
the haltered animals with two or
three strong negroes at the end of a
long rope, trying to hold them, dash
ed through the big crowd Of people
knocking some down, but fortunately
no one was seriously hurt. One ami
NAL, which appeared to be more wild
and vicious than the others, was hal
tered and turned over to the purchas-
er, large negro man. The horse
at once began to rear and pitch high
in the afr. The negro was soon Jerk
ed off his feet, but held on to the rope
as II life depended on it, and was
dragged like a block Of wood until
the frightened animal mounted the
iron fence enclosing Captain, w. L.
Roddey's front yard and then paused
for few minutes as If studying what
course to take next. Others came to
the assistance Of the negro who was
well nigh exhausted by this time and
the animal was once more coaxed into
the street, but went straight over the
fence into ]. n. McElwee's yard oppo-
site the home Of Capt. Roddey. 1t was
some time before the animal was
again brought partially under control
and the performance continued down
East Main street.
A drizzlng rain fell nearly all day
yesterday and the dust or our streets
| is laid once more. Likely enough,
mud instead of dust will be our next
] trouble. Verify, man is hard to please.
