to Chester Friday afternoon and dis
cussed with members Of the Com

pay. the opinion Of the railway off,
cials to the contrary, Notwithstanding,
and efforts will made at the hearing

tinued after a short time, If any loss
Is encountered. Messrs. John G.

R. R. Moffatt and Jas. H. Glenn will

county. Only two townships in York
county remain unorganiZed in the in

movement. These are Fort Mill and
