he has 1t on what he considers relia-
BILE information, that Mr.. w. P. Smith
Is to be secretary Of the new cotton

treasurer, and will add Of his own vol

a stronger team could not bel hooked
up in this meek of the woods.
k/Capt. w. B. Smith has recently sold
Ntfis Munger ginning system to the Vic
tor Cotton Oil company, Of Carney
and Yorkville, and In future the plant
will be operated by the new owners.
1t Is said that the new cotton mill
Will be known as the Morton Spinning
company, with Mr.. w. e. Morton as
president and general manager. The
titles to the land were made to the
new company this week, and the pur-
chase price paid. The land Is inside
the town limits and Is situated on the
east side Of the Carolina and North
Western railroad south Of the depot.
The work Of erecting the building VIII
he commenced with as little delay as
possible. In fact Contractor Brison
hopes to have one four room cottage
to be occupied temporarily by Mr..
Morton and family, ready for occu-
pancy by May /, and If 1t Is ready at
the time indicated. Mr.. Morton and
family will return to Glover and occu-
py it until their handsome new resi-
dence to be erected near the site Of
the old "Glass" house, on the opposite
side of the railroad from the mill VIII
lage, is completed.
|tMf. Lee Brison returned home this
week after spending four months at
school Of telegraphy and now has q
position as night operator and assis-.
tant to CloVer's popular and efficient
railroad agent, Mr.. J. Meek Smith. In
passing we will remark that Glover
has grown to be one Of the best, II
not the best paying stations on the c.
& NV. railroad. It was barely possi-
BILE that Lenoir, on account Of Its enor-
nous lumber traffic, is slightly ahead
Of. Glover, but our town will make
heavy gains on the North Carolina
town during the next twelve months.
Just watch us. We expect to grow
somewhat after the order Of the plant
after which the town is named during
the months of April and May when the
weather conditions are propitious, but
we expect the growth to be solid and
permanent, because, as everybody
knows, the town Is built on rock.
BY reason Of the recent change in
the schedule of the mail and passen-
ger train, THE ENQUIRER does not
reach Glover until about an hour and
a half after the schedule time for the
departure Of the carriers on r. F. D.
routes Nos. 1 and 2, and as a con-
sequence Wednesdays papers do not
reach subscribers until Thursday, and
Saturdays papers until the following
Monday. It is to be hoped that the
authorities at Washington will change
the schedule on the R. F. D routes with
as little delay as possible so as to have
the mail leave here after the depart
ure of the morning train, as the peo-
pie along the two routes want the'paper
1t has been issued from the press.
Senator Brice's numerous constitu-
ents in and around Glover read his re-
cent letter to the editor Of the Green
wood Journal with a great deal Of
pleasure and are gratified to know that
he not only has such views as to the
dispensary law, but has the manhood to
express them in such clear and forcible
language. It Is to be hoped that the
senator will make an effort at the next
session Of the legislature to secure the
passage Of an amendment to the dis
pensary law which will provide the
same machinery for abolishing rum
mill after 1t has once been established
In a community, as is provided for Its
establishment.
