Rock Hill Depot.
Although work was commenced on
the Union depot at Rock Hill some
weeks back, progress has been rather
| slow, all the excavations not having
yet been completed. The new depot
is to stand near the site Of the one
now In use. and Is to be a double deck
4 affair, the C. c. & A road running
along the lower floor and the King
vile and Marion along the upper
floor The Kingyille and Marion trains
have to back into the present station
as formerly at the expense Of a good
deal of time and money. With the
completion of the new depot, however,
this trouble will be eliminated.
