hearing In the case Of p. A. Workman,
charged with storing and keeping
whisky for an unlawful purpose, took
place before Magistrate Beckham yes
terday morning. w. M. Dunlap. Esq.
conducted the prosecution and w. B.
Wilson, Jr., represented the defend
ant. The hearing consumed several
hours and quite q number OF witnesses
were put up by the state to prove that
the defendant had been dealing In
whisky for some time previous, to the
working up of the present case against
him. Several witnesses testified that
they had given the defendant money
with which to get whisky and ne
brought them the whisky; but they did
not know where he got II nor whom 1t
belonged to. Workman was held un-
der 1900 bond for his appearance be-
| fore the higher court. It VIII be re-
lmembered that Workman laid claim
to some whisky seized at the home. OF
s. M. Cash about ten days ago by Of
fcers Jenkins and Wingate, and the
case against him grew out OF his rep
resenting himself as owner OF the
goods.
At the regular monthly meeting OF
| the city council, held Monday night. the
ordinance regarding the tagging OF
trains at Main, Wilson and Laurel
streets, was brought UP again and dis
cussed at some length. II was hnaiiy
decided to invite Mr.. Williams or the
Savannah division and Mr.. Heather OF
| the Charleston division, to come to
Rock Hill and meet the city council on
or before the goth OF this month to dis
cuss the matter. These crossings are
considered very dangerous and II Is
very important that some action be
taken at once to insure safety to the
public at these points.
The committee appointed at the iast
meeting of the council to see the owners
of the Friedheim hall and request them
to provide fire escapes and remove the
| iron crates from certain windows ana
make some alterations in the doors,
etc, reported that the owners, A.
| Friedheim & Bro, had promised to COM
ply with the request, but nothing had
been done as yet. The unanimous de-
cision of the council was that the hah
was dangerous I'm case Of fire and Il
was decided to have the hall closed
unless the requirements OF the council
are conformed with at once.
Quite number left the city We'd
nesday to attend the convention OF the
Young Peoples Christian Union OF the
A. r. p. church Of the southern states,

There has been some cotton turned
loose On the market since the rise In
the market last No day, but a majority
i of the holders, specially those VINO
have large lots to sell, are watching the
market and holding on. So long as the
market has an upward tendency they
will not sell, but should the market
hegin to drop back many OF them VIII
! .urn loose.
The Fourth passed of here very
quietly indeed. The day was quite gem
orally observed. but there was nothing
In the way Of celebration, most OF
the people attending picnics and other
gatherings In the country. Practically
all places of business were closed and
the city wore Sunday appearance all
day long.
