has instructed the officers Of the city
to make a complete canvass Of the

ployment and have no way Of making
an honest livelihood had better go to
work at once or else they will be pull

had in Rock Hill, therefore there Is
no excuse for he who viii not work.
To all such. we would warn them to
either go to work or leave the city.
Rock Hill has no need for loafers and
we feel sure that Mayor Roddey viii
do his duty when such cases are
brought before him.
