Rock HILL, April 1S.-That gardens,
truck patches of all kinds, the fruit
crop and all other crops that have
been planted, or are up. have been
seriously injured by the freeze Sun
day night Is a settled fact In the
minds of a majority Of the people, but
opinions differ as to what the extent
of the damage will amount to. Re-
ports from the country indicate that
all crops that were UP have been SER
iously injured, IL not totally destroyed.
It Is reported that on one large plan.
tation In the sandy section south OF
this city, fifty acres Of cotton was up
to nice stand, and nearly all or II
was killed by the frost. The proud
owners of many gardens in this city,
who up to Sunday night, had watch
ed the rapid growth Of the plants In
their gardens with the fond expecta-
| ton and a fair prospect OF having all
kinds of vegetables much earlier than
usual this spring, now have very lit
| tie or nothing left to show for all the
time and labor they spent on their
gardens. 1t Is not too late. however,
to replant anything that has been
killed and make plenty Of all kinds OF
vegetables yet. Very little cotton or
corn was up In this section, except In
few places where planting was done
very early. There was a prospect for
an abundant crop Of peaches; but this
crop has doubtless been badly dam
aged.
There Is q strong probability or q
suspender factory being added to the
industries Of Rock Hill In the near
| future. Two prominent business men
of this city have been contemplating
the establishment Of such an Industry
| for some time, and although we are
not authorized to divulge the names
of the promoters just yet, we can SAFE
" say that they are the kind OF men
who make things go. and although the
industry, II undertaken, will not be
run on a very large scale at the be-
ginning, the plant will be thoroughly
equipped with the latest improved ma
chinery and II the experiment proves
successful the plant will be enlarged
and the scheme pushed through.
During the past six months, secre-
tary Jno. Wood Of the Commercial
club, has received inquiries from diff
ferent sources relative to the estab-
lishment of an Ice factory In ROCK
Hill. The latest inquiries come from
st. Louis and from the state Of Geor-
gia, and there Is a strong probability
of such an industry being established
here during the present year.
Messrs. j. G.. Anderson, j. r. Bar
ron, w. ]. Roddey, w. C.. Whitner, j.
M. Cherry and A. s. Poe, have had
private sewerage system Installed on
their premises in Oakland. The supply
of water Is secured from the city
mains, and all refuse Is drained into
an under ground tank which consists
Of several compartments, and In pass
ing through these different sections
the water is relieved Of all impurities
or nearly so. ..
A sewerage system to embrace the
entire city Is badly needed In ROCK
Hill. In fact any city the size OF Rock
Hill can iii afford to be without a
frst-class sewerage and we will have
it one Of these days, but In the mean
time 1t would be well for others to
follow the example these enterprtsing
Oakland citizens have set IN, taxing
the initiative in this all important
matter.
Prof. w. F. Moncrieff. head Of the

and Pedagogy Of Scientific work.
The management Of the Catawba
Male academy expects to take the ca
| diets to Columbia for weeks encamp-
ment during the month Of May, the
object being to give the students a lit
tie recreation and some extra drill
work. The c. M. AS. will enjoy the
outing and will, no doubt be benefit
| ted by 1t also. A strong baseball
| team has been organized In this school
and they will very likely cross bats
with several other teams during the
encampment.
The c. M. A. baseball team crossed
bats with an aggregation from Wtnns-
boro Monday afternoon on the home
grounds and won the game by q score
Of 8 to IA.

city, and s. M. Boyd Of Neely's Creek.
have been mentioned as suitable per-
sons to fill the vacancy.
