The York county chain gang netted
eight recruits as result Of the Nov
ember term of the court Of general
sessions which was held last week. In
addition to these one negro boy was

youths at Lexington.
People Shopping Early.
Christmas shopping has already be-
gun in practically every village and
town in York county. Several Rock
Hill merchants who were asked about
the matter last Saturday said that they
had already done considerable Christ
mas business. Merchants at Fort Mill,
Glover, Yorkville, Sharon and Hickory
Grove say that they see signs of
Christmas business already.
Ducks on the Catawba.
While there are quite a number Of
vicinity of Blalock's this year it is diff
them, according to number Of sports
men who have been asked about the
matter. Three Yorkville hunters who
made a trip to the river Saturday
afternoon in quest of ducks saw four
fine specimens but they were not per-
mitted to get within shooting range
of the ducks.
Dog Taxes.
Il have given out 23O dog tax tags,
So far said Treasurer Neil yesterday
morning, and there is just one more
month of it. There will be no extension
as l understand the law. Those who
fail to pay by December 81 will be in
the hands of the school trustees and
the magistrates. One reason probably
why peope are so slow TO pay is that
a good many Of them don't seem to un-
derstand as how the dog tax receipt is
separate and distinct from property tax
receipts This dog tax is due and pay
able now, and can be paid at any time
before December 81"
No Court yesterday.
Because of the fact that none Of the
d
no session Of the November term Of the
court Of common pleas for York coun-
ty held yesterday. Judge Rice was
telegraphed not to come until today
Court was formally opened by the
court crier and then adjourned for the
day. Jurors who had been summoned
and who in some instances came from
homes twenty-five miles away from
the courthouse didn't like it at all; but
of course they could do nothing except
to remark that "the lawyers run the
court to suit themselves" 1t is esti-
mated that the expense to the county
of the court for the day through the
"unreadiness' was about $3.50.
Between Yorkvlle and Clover.
Because of the operation Of the
road force on the Kings Mountain road
just without tie incorporate limits OF
Yokville, the best route between York
vile and Glover just at this time is
out West Liberty street into the
Adair's ferry road, by way of A. l..
Blacks, D. c. Ciarks, A. f. Gettys's,
Kings Mountain Chapel and Filbert.
The next best route, considerably
shorter, is out Lincoln street, by way
OF Hamilton Withcrspoor's, w. w.
l..
Of the #. n. Thomasson old place,
coming out at the Allison Creek tres
tie. is badly cut up with traffic and 1t
is in bad condition for travel other
wise. Dependent upon the progress of
the road and the weather, the outlook
is that travel between Yorkville and
Clover and Gastonia will be quite diff
ficult for a week or two, perhaps long
er.
Sale of Stock Prevented.

tised sale of stock was called off. The
