RULE TO SHOW CAUSE.

Supervisor Boyd has been ruled to
show cause why the sanitary condi-
ton and security of the county jail
has not been looked after in accord
ance with the recent Recommendations
Of the grand jury. The rule was Is
sued by Judge Purdy on the ad-
journment Of the recent term OF the
court Of general sessions and is as
follows:
8. That the clerk issue a rule
against the county supervisor within
thirty days after the rising OF this
court to show cause at the first day
of the next term at 10 o'clock g. m,
II any he has, why he has not carried
out the recommendations of the grand
Jury heretofore made, touching the
sanitary and other conditions Of the
jail, and the sheriff, upon receipt of
said rule at the hands of the clerk,
forthwith serve the same on the su-
pervisor.
AS has already been explained. the
principal reason for the failure OF the
supervisor to act in this matter Is lack
of the necessary funds, and the legal
prohibition against borrowing money
for the purpose. 1t is understood that
the supervisor has all along been WILL
ing and anxious to repair the jail II he
could only be assured Of the means
with which to pay the expense Of such
repairs. In view Of the virtual assur-
ance Of the. legislative delegation as
to It's willingness to back the super
visor up in whatever expenditure may
be necessary, it Is quite possible that
the repairs may be made without a
great deal Of delay. Otherwise, at the
time mentioned in the rule published
above, the supervisor will simply re-
port to the court that there Is no
money available. and it will be up to
the court to say how the necessary
money is to be obtained.

told the Boston spsnners that southern
farmers were able to raise cotton al
81 cents a pound, and Mr.. Price will
not have a right to consider us as
spiteful when we say we would be
pleased to see his all invested In this
business with a guarantee of 6 cents

able to raise.

WITHIN THE TOWN.

The salesday attendance yesterday
was. unusually slim, people generally
being too busy to come to town.
There are a dozen or more houses
under construction In Yorkville at this
time-more than have been going up
at any one time before for several
years.
Work on the plant Of the Neely
Manufacturing company continues Ito
progress nicely. Most Of the window
frames have been set In the main
building, and with good weather the
work of putting on the roof will prob
ably be commenced within another
week. Several cottages for opera
tives are we'll under way.
1t is unofficially reported that
there Is to be an important change OF
schedule on the Southern soon. The
statement is that Yorkville will prob
ably become the meeting point Of the
two trains that now have their ter
minus at Rock Hill. If the proposed
change Of schedule goes into effect
the northbound afternoon train will
pass here at about 1 o'clock instead of
at about $50 as now.
The sacrament Of the Lords Sup
per was observed at the First Presby-
terian church and at the Associate
Reformed Presbyterian church last
Sunday morning. The services In the
Presbyterian church were conducted
by Rev. D. E. Gillespie Of Richmond,
and in the services at the Associate
Reformed church Rev. w. c. Ewart,
the pastor, was assisted by Rev. Il.
M. Garrison of Kings Mountain.
There were good congregations at both
churches and the services were quite
interesting.
Might Watchman Louthian reports
the presence Of two suspicious white
men on the streets Of Yorkville be-
tween and 2 o'clock last Saturday
morning, who may or may not have
been up to mischief. One Of the men
met the night watchmen and made In
quiries as to where he could get some
thing to eat. The inquiry very natu-
rally brought up the question as to
who slept in the different stores, etc.
A little later, Mr.. Louthian having In
the meantime walked UP Mr.. A. Rose,
the two strangers spent some time
about the banks, both Of which had
lights inside; Mr.. Louthian and Mr..
Rose watching the men carefully all
the while. The strangers did nothing
to warrant arrest, and they were al
lowed to look as long as they pleased.
After fifteen or twenty minutes, they
got off the street.
Some Of the Yorkville business
men have begun to complain at the
annoyance to which they are being
subjected on account Of what they
consider an injustice in being re-
quired to do more than their share OF
Jury duty in the magistrates court.
Discussing the matter yesterday, one
of them said: II believe In doing my
full duty as a citizen. and If / have
ever lodged l do not remember the
occasion; but 1t seems to me that this
system which requires the local bus
mess men to furnish their clerks for
jurymen for all the petty cases aris-
ing In the township, and being brought
from other townships Is most too
much of a good thing. AS under
stand it, the Jurisdiction Of the local
magistrate covers the entire township,
and it seems to me that the jurors
should be drawn from the township at
large instead of the town alone. This
would at least give an equal distri-
hutton of the burdens of Jury duty"
