Very few Yorkville people have
been able to get in their winter wood

- Cotton receipts have been quite
brisk during the past few days, and
they would no doubt have been much

a small proportion Of the crop has been
picked and ginned.

ored barber, died at his home on Rail-
road street at o'clock this morning

In the nature Of meningitis. The de-
ceased was a native Of Yorkville and
lived here all his life, about thirty-six
wears. He was q behaved, res
pectful man, got along nicely with

The local cotton men are kicking
against the service the Piedmont and
Bell telephone companies are giving
them between here and Charlotte, N.
C.. The cotton men have quite lot
of business with Charlotte and the
telephone companies have two lines
there. One Of these lines is the regular
Bell line strung with copper wire and
in first-class condition. 1t is no trou-
BILE to conduct q conversation over 1t.
The other Is the Piedmont line by way
of Clover and Gastonia, with lots of
country and other phone connections
and always buzzing. Whenever the cot
ton men ask for Charlotte they are
put on the Gastonia line, and they
find it impossible to conduct their bus
mess with any degree Of satisfaction.
Last week two cotton men made spe-
cific requests for connection by way
Of Rock Hill over the regular Bell line
and the telephone people refused to give
the connection. The cotton men then
instructed Thos. F. Mellow. Esq, to
bring suit to see If the telephone peo-
pie could not be forced to give the SER
vice they desire. Messrs. Latta Bros.
and the Y. B. & M. Co., are the plain
tiffs. Each will ask for damages in
the sum Of $1,000.
