Eoxu Gnu I'd
For sometime the town authorities
at Glover have realized that the town
prison, which had done service for a
of years, was not to be depend
ed on to hold prisoners placed in 1t un-
til wanted, the present council decided
recently that they would have one con-
structed that could be depended upon
to fulfill its office. AS result Of the
decision, a new guardhouse Is being
built. There will be two cells, each
about 10 feet long by feet wide, and
10 feet high. The walls are about 20
inches thick and are built Of granite
laid in cement. The structure stands
on a solid granite floor, provided by ma
ture, and it Is apparent that when the
prison is finished and prisoners placed
in it, Mayor Neil and his successors in
office will know where to send to get
them when wanted. It Is the purpose
Of the council to erect a wooden build
ing over the prison proper, containing
a room to be used as a council cham
Der, and on the ground floor will be a
room in which tools and other town
property will be stored.
Broad River School ElectiOns.
Elections were held on Tuesday on
the question Of repeating the special
school levies in school districts Nos.
and 40. Formerly the two districts
were together; but not long ago the
friends of the special tax secured d.
vision in the fear that the No. 9 portion
would vote against the tax. In No.
district 26 votes were cast, Of these II
were for the tax and only 9 against.
The total vote in No. 40 was So. OF
which 26 were for the tax and II
against it. The special levy was lost,
by single vote. Some Of the
friends of the tax now think they
made a mistake by dividing the dis
trict, as the result shows that the por-
ton they feared went their way. On
the other hand'it is argued that If there
had been no division No. would have
voted differently because some of the
voters were under the mistaken i'm
preston that No. 40. (Hickory Grove)
