WHO was TdlIleu Us referee was also
suggested by the Springs interests, It
is said.
Judge Moore didn't decide every
thing in favor Of the SPRING. crowd,
however, because he granted to Char
les d. Jones the right to intervene in
the matter and become a party to the
receivership fight. This gives Jones
the right to examine the books of the
corporation. It was Jones's insistance
upon seeing the books that led to a
personal scrap with young Elliot
Springs in the office of the Lancaster
Mercantile Company few days ago
The receiver and referee will take
charge Of the affairs of the concern in
Lancaster as soon as the proper bonds
are filed. Whether the receiver will
wind up tho affairs of the company or
whether the firm will continue is. q
matter to be decided upon by the Of
ficers appointed by the court.
All Mills Running.
All of the cotton mills are running
ct the present time, it was stated to-
day by prominent mill man who was
discussing the situation. Quite a
number of them are also running at
night. However, the sale Of cloth and
yarns is a pretty hard matter just now
and while the mill managements are
hopeful that they will be able to con-
tinue to keep their respective plants
going right along they are not so sure
Of it. Carhartt Mill No. 2, at Carhartt,
near here which has been closed for
some time has resumed operations.
Country Eggs 90 Cents.
While Rock Hill retail srocers are
getting 60 cents dozen for eggs, they
look for a drop in the market pretty
soon, since the number of eggs COM
ing in from the country Is increasing.
incidentally the demand for country
eggs at so cents dozen isn't very
brisk.
Chamber of Commerce TO Meet.
The annual meeting of the Rock
Hill Chamber Of Commerce will be
held the latter part of January, Sec
retary Fewell said. The secretary has
just returned from New York where
she spent the Christmas holidays with
relatives and friends. A membership
campaign for the Chamber Of Com

Showing Little Interest.
Farmers of the section surrounding
Rock Hill are rather slow about sign
ing up with the South Carolina Coop
crative Marketing Association, ac-
cording to Mr.. r. S. Poag who lives
near Rock Hill and who Is canvassing
the farmers in the interests of the as
sociation. Mr. Poag. however, is not
discouraged but is continuing to put
the proposition of marketing up to the
farmers.
Business is Slow.
Business has been very slow and
dull in Rock Hill since the Christmas
holidays, according to a number OF
leading Rock Hill merchants who were
interviewed today. In fact,there Is
practically nothing doing. However
the merchants are not discouraged. 1t
is always that way they say at this
time, and it will probably be around
the first of February before trade
shows signs Of life. Practically no
cotton has been sold on the Rock Hill
market this week. While there was a
big crowd in Rock Hill this afternoon
in accordance with the usual Saturday
custom they did little trading.
