Information from the big road working plant down in Catawba township is to the effect that it is going right along. It has been over the road from LessJie to Catawba Junction, from Lesslie to Catawba river, from Lesslie to the Chester line and was on the Columbia road yesterday. While working on the main roads, runs were taken up and down some of their various branches and during the past week something like 30 miles of road has been covered. As the crew becomes more experienced the work progresses j more easily and is being better done. Only one venire of jurors has been drawn for the summer term j of the circuit which convenes | Q onrJ fhorofnrp fhprp will i uuij o, anu biivtvivi v v..... be but one week of jury busii ness. Under the law as it now stands, common pleas jury cases may be taken up immeditely following the disposition of the sessions business, and if the work of the sessions is concluded in time the understanding is that several civil actions will be pressed for trial. The jurors drawn for the first week therefore may count upon it that they are in for a full week of service. Rock Hill's new passenger station was thrown open to the traveling public yesterday. The building is a double deck affair so constructed as to take care of both branches of the Southern railway, the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta below and the Marion and Kingville above. Heretofore, as most people are aware, the Marion and Kingville i trains have had to "go down | into the hole" to put off and take on passengers at Rock Hill and the arrangement has been a ; source of annoyance to the public , and expense to the railroads. , Now all trains on both roads strike the station at the proper level, and there is no unneces! sary delay or inconvenience, j ! The new station is said to have , cost $50,000. Tillman's Health Excellent. A. W. * Knight, editor of the! .

Tillman's health: j "It was a great pleasure to 1 know that our representatives and senators stand well and have much influence. Senator Tillman is in better health than for years. He looks anything else than like a dead man. He is at his office in the capitol building every day promptly at eleven o'clock and attends to his duties just the same as before his illnsss. However, he doesn't make speeches now, in fact he doesn't have to, but there is no question that he is the most influential senator in Washington.
