Members of the Rock Hill Mer-
chants association are fairly well
pleased with the results obtained
from the big sale put on by mem
bers Of the association last We'd
nesday. They were somewhat

try people in town to take ad-
vantage of the bargains offered
was not as large as had been ex-
pccted.
At the present time there are
IA prisoners in the York county
Jail awaiting trial at the July
term of the court Of general ses-
sions, which cOnvenes on Monday,
July ~. A special judge will
very likely be appointed by Gov
ernor Harvey to preside ut this
term, due to the death Of Judge
Ernest Moore of the Sixth circuit
who would have presided had he
been living and IN good health. 49,
John s. Rainey, well known
farmer and business man Of Sha-
ron, paid $6 for 600 boil weevils

tinue to offer to pay his hands

his fields for some time to come.
Those who took the job Of pick
n
week didn't get such bad bar
gain after all, because they were
not hard to find. However, Mr..
Rainey figures that it is we'll
worth l cent each to him for
weevils now. .- r. -

A letter from a wealthy friend
in another city inquiring about
certain gold mining properties
IN York county, reminds us that
there has been very little doing
along mining or prospecting lines
in this section since about the
beginning of the World war.
There was some mining activity
going on in the county about the
time the war broke out, but it.
was not long until it was sus-.
pended, That there is gold in.
York county, and plenty of it, is
the testimony of all the experts
and near experts, interested or
disinterested, who have ever made
Investigations.
