(By Staff Correspondent)
Rock Hill, July 23-Judging from
the number of residences and other
buildings going up in Rock Hill just
now there is no knowledge Of finan-
cial depression or rather it isn't being
felt to any great extent. On most OF
the streets in the city one or more
houses are now in course Of construc-
tion and 1t is understood that contracts
for the building Of others are to be
let very soon. Real estate men here
say that demand for building lots is
fairly brisk and that there Is much
more doing in that line than there is
in farm lands. Never was the demand
for residences greater in Rock Hill
than right now. In many instances
two families are occupying the same
small cottagc-doing that not because
they want to but because they can't
help themselves.
Bad Checks.
The restaurant man had handful
of bad checks in his hands when the
correspondent went to dinner today.
"Gitta de worsa ALA de tima," said
he. "One dollah, two dollah,. free dol
lah-gimme p,enta de hella. Maka me
mighty scarda de checka-me get so
me know de idea hava who gotta da

Hit BY Business Slump.
Rock Hill merchants were complain
ing today that the business slump had
hit pretty hard and very sudden like.
Several merchants said today that
there were comparatively few buyers
in the crowd here and that there had
been very little doing in business
way for several days past.
Fair Dates Changed. +,
At a recent meeting of the directors
of the York County Fair association 1t
was decided to change the dates of the
York County Fair this year from Oct
ober 1921 to November Gil. The d.
rectors are making plans now for
holding this year the largest fair that
they have ever held. Indications are
that the number Of variety Of agricul-
tural and commercial exhibits will be
much larger than heretofore and other
attractions are to be Of an order far
superior to anything seen heretofore in
Rock Hill.
Will Be Loaded for Bear.
"By the way you can just tell those
Yorkvnle fans if you want to that
Rock Hill is coming over for that
baseball game next Thursday loaded
for bear" said the biggest baseball bug
in Rock Hill this morning "By that I
mean we arc going to scour this town
and vicinity for good baseball play
ers and if the American Legion Lar
rupers win the game next Thursday I
for one am going to be greatly sur
prised. Yorkville has sure-enough
baseball team, though. and there's no
mistake about that
County Health Bureau.
mo I don't think that the tax pay
ers Of York county would be willing to
stand for any increased taxes which
would be necessary were we to employ
county health officer and assistants
as are wanted by the York County
Public Health association" said this
morning Representative Erwin Caro-
thers who was discussing the matter
with this correspondent II think that
we will have to wait awhile before
taking on any new officers like that
and l feel sure that the majority of the
taxpayers don't want to put on any
new officers now
BooI Weevii in Bethesda.
The boil weevil has been reported
from Bethesda township, according to
S. C. Byers, we'll known Bethesda

thought to be the boil weevil had been
found within the past few days on the
farm Of R. Moultrie Bratton. Since his
farm joins that of Mr.. Bratton he was
pretty sure that the boil weevil if such
the bug turned out to be. was also on
his farm.

State Politics.
A Rock Hill politician, who by the
way has forgotten more politics than a
lot of politicians will ever know, ha6
Just gotten the latest dope from Co.
lumbia, and was handing it to the cor
respondent this morning. He claimed
