members of the United Daughters Of
the Confederacy have had no trouble
in raising by public subscription the
sum of $500 which is the balance due
on the new Confederate monument,
which is ready to be set up. Canvass
ers were busy two days last week So,

up the deficit and they met with gen.
erous response from the Rock Hill pub
lie. Up to Friday afternoon the sum Of
$1,000 had been raised and the can
vassers expressed themselves as being

Want seaboard to Come In.
Some of the merchants are agitating
movement to try to get the Seaboard
Air Line railroad to come to Rock Hill.
The railroad taps the extreme eastern
edge of York county some nine miles
away from Rock Hill and 1t is argued
that while the cost of coming into Rock
Hill would be great, business that
would be obtained here would in q
short period of time offset that cost.
1.-THE coming Of the Seaboard into Rock
Hill would mean more to the city than
any other one thing" said q prominent
merchant in discussing the matter the
other day. Il for one would be glad to
do anything in my power to bring the
Seaboard here and have talked with
many other merchants and other busi-
ness people here who feel the same way
about 1t. I think that you will see a
fattering offer made to the Seaboard
within the next few months to come
into the Good Town" ~

up this week because Of the fact that 1t

is rather inclined to believe that 1t is
going to be mighty quiet Christmas
