Judge Peurifoy might as well let the
jurors go home" observed q court
attache yesterday. "There were not
more than a couple of cases tried by
Jury last week. On Friday the attor-
neys in two cases agreed to a verdict
while the jurors. were out considering
the points at issue. There was moth
ing for the jurors to do except to re-

Gastonia Bound.
you'd be surprised to know the
humber of negroes of our section who
have recently moved out, and gone to
Gastonia," remarked a Sharon man
who was in Yorkville yesterday. 81 have
no idea of the number but l want to
say that have been living in Sharon
a good many years and have never
observed anything like so great an
exodus from my town at one time be-
fore. Most of them are being employ
cd on road construction and other
forms of construction work. Others
have gone to Gastonia without any
particular job in view. They have
heard that there is a great deal of
work going on now in Gastonia and
CASTOR county and have simply left
without job in sight, confident in the
belief that they would get one"
1,400 Hunting Licenses Sold.
$50 far this year about 1,4OO hunt
ing licenses have been sold in York
county" said Dan T. Woods, York
county game warden when asked
about the matter the other day. Il
think that compares favorably with
sales up to this date last year." Mr..
Woods went on to say. "The only
record that l have on the matter just
now is the bank deposit slips given
me by the various sub-agencics FOR
hunting licenses that 1 have over the
county While 1 sell good many IL
ccnses myself direct, the great ma
jority Of them are sold by my sub
agents over the county. l might add,
too, that while we have sold about as
many licenses Us we generally do up
TO this time, there has been mighty
little weather fit for hunting and those
hunters to whom 1 have talked report
that they haven't had lot of luck
Business Already Better.
UNLESS l miss my guess" remark
cd the other day, T. w. Speck, well
known jeweler of YOrkville, business
is going to be much better this Christ
mas than it was last. Believing that
such will be the case I have bought
much larger Christmas stock than |
bought last year and many other mer-
chants TO whom L have talked have
told me that they have done the same
thing. While the County's cotton crop
is not so large this year as it was last,
still it is bringing fair price. The
crop has been rlade cheaper than that
of last year and l notice that lots of
folks who had no money last year
have some money this year. 50 far as
Christmas business is concerned,
numbers OF people have already begun
to look around and some have already
done at least 4 part Of their Christmas
shopping. | believe that all of the
merchants are going TO experience
better business this year than they
did last"
Protest Sustained.
Well" remarked yesterday a York
VILE football fan, "it would appear
from the decision of the high school
football committee relative to Doug
las Minis, star player Of Rock Hill that
Supt. f. a. Montgomery of Yorkvillc
High has been sustained in the row he
raised. 1T was Prof Montgomery,
you know, who started the fuss about
alleged ringers being allowed to play
high school football in this section.
Prof. Montgomery promptly refused to
allow Yorlvillc High to play Rock Hill
Rock Hill persisted in detCrmina-
ton to play Minis in Il game against
the locals. OF course since there has
been so much discussion in the news
papers about it all much dope has
come out with the result that Fort
Mill and not Rock Hill is regarded as
the champion team Of the Catawha
Association. am glad that Prof
Montgomery made the fight that he
did and l feel that when all the hot
blood Of the various pa.Hisans has
cooled down ell Interested in football
will feel that he did The right thing in
making the row that he made"
