Mr. V. B. McFadden, for the t
past three years postmaster at; t
Rock Hill, has resigned his v
position, the resignation to take c
effect upon the appointment of r

McFadden's action is a desire to (
be relieved of duties that are a
rather more onerous than agree- r
able, in order that he may have t
more time to devote to other t
interests. The place is to filled p

and whatever direction, are to 1
be welcome. \
