Rock Hill, March 14.-Due to- :. the
recent action Of the police department,
there's a chance now for public trans
fer drivers of Rock Hill to make a
little monty, maybe, in legitimate
transfer business. For the police de-
partment has cut the number Of
licensed public service drivers Of Rock
Hill from So to II. 1t had to be done,
according to members OF: the Z police
force and citizens generally. Many Of
the public service car drivers, $it is
said, were mainly doing a bootleg
business. hauling women around for
Immoral purposes and creating an at
mosphere unhealthy for the. morals of
Rock HILL So the police took a check
| of the public service drivers; delycd
into musty shelves where the record Of
eachHand every one',was kept; made a
report on those with a clean: bill Of
health and those who were rated as
"bad actors" Then the city council
revoked the licenses Of thirty-six and
the police force breathcd easier. Blu
the policemen will still have their
troubles with some Of them. One
notorious fellow, according 20 the
story of a policeman, hired a lawyer to
say word for him to the authorities,
urging that he be allowed to retain his
license. The request was turned down;
whereupon he quietly drove his car to-
Lando, over in Chester county, a short
distance away and now he is doing
business principally between Lando
and Rock Hill. However. they are
watching out for him.
Mill Business Not Healthy.
While all Of the Rock Hill cotton
mills are running on full day time and
few of them at night, the textile in
dustry according to people here In
position to know, is not in a healthy
state by any means and it would not
be surprising to receive announcement
of curtailment of operations here al
most any time. Carhartt Mill No; q, at
Carhartt,s near. here, is: still closed,
operations being suspended .several
months ago on account ofra. strike or
operatives. There is no indication as
to when operations will be resumed.
Next Meeting at Chapel.

afternoon the Rock Hill District Sun

dist Episcopal church decided upon

grounds, playing golf and amusing
themselves in other ways. The clup

lust off the Rock Hill-Fort Mill road

acreage in this section is going to be
materially decreased this year.
