Rock HILL, Feb. 1.-The city coun-
ell in response to a hint from friends
at Washington, held a special meet
ing Monday afternoon to take certain
steps in the matter of Rock Hills
interest in the federal court bill. 1t
was decided to send a strong delega-
ton to Washington to arrive in time
for the final consideration Of the ju-
dietary committee. 1t was also de-
cided to offer to the government,
through that committe, the use of
the new municipal court room until
such a time as the U. S. court room
should be completed. This new city
court room will be a commodious af-
fair, amply large, for temporary use at
least for the holding of the federal
court Tuesday evening the delega-
ton went on to Washington and ap-
peared before the committe for a
very brief time. There Is practi-
cally no doubt that Rock Hill will be
both from intrinsic merit as to being
the proper point and because she
was originally in the original bill.
