The YorkvilTe Enquirer has infor-
nation that the division superintend-
ent of the Southern railway has Or
dered a thirty day check-up of the
number of passengers carried on trains
No. 1T and 11S between Yorkville and
Rock Hill No. 1T leaves Yorkville
for Rock at 1925 a. m, and No. lis
arrives in Yorkville from Columbia at
7:O5 %. m. The belief among some Of
the best informed railroad men is that
this order probably looks to the dis
continuance of the trains, which are
the most valuable the town has. Sim
liar trains between Branchville and
Augusta were discontinued recently
under similar circumstances; but the
people interested were able to make
sufficient noise to have the trains re-
stored.
- The First Baptist church of York
VILE is to be remodeled. This step
was decided on at a congregational
meeting last Sunday morning, when
the membership of the church and its
friends subscribed the greater part Of
the necessary funds to carry out the
proposed remodeling plans. The ten
tative plans call for the remodeling Of
the front of the church and the addi-
tion of ten Sunday school rooms, re-
arrangement of the auditorium, re-
painting of the inside and out of the
building and refurnishing with mod
ern pews, etc. The contemplated i'm
provements will cost approximately
$500 and it is the hope of the con-
gregation to get the work under way
at an early date.
- Practically. the entire force Of the
York county chaingang is now engag-
ed in building that section of the
West road from the waterworks plant
to the asphalt paving on West Lib
erty street. The town authorities
some time ago made arrangements
with the county commissioners where
by the chaingang was made available
for service in constructing that por-
tion of the West road within the town
limits. The West road has been top
soiled to a point in the Locust Hill
section near the home of Mr.. r. b.
Hartness on York No. 5, which is
about three miles east of Sharon.

township authorities would do little
work on the road from the Hartness
