Baseball at Glover.
1t is estimated that in the neighbor-
hood of 1000 people were at the ball
park in Glover yesterday afternoon TO
witness the contest between the Clover
and Chester teams. The crowd came
from the town, the surrounding coun-
TRY, Gastonia, Yorkville and Chester.
Soon after the game was called II was
easily apparent to everybody thas
Chester was not in the same class as
clover and although the former at
tempted a stubborn fight at the outset
lit quickly realized that there was no
hope Of winning, and the balance OF
the game showed little spirit. At ths
close of the ninth inning the score
stood IL to in favor Of Clover. 1t
goes without saying that everybody,
not excepting the Glover team, would
have been better satisfied had the con-
test been more equal.
Graft In the Dispensary.
Mr.. Wylie of the state board Of dis
pensary directors was on the e. &
NV. train yesterday morning, going
toward Gastonia and between Yorkvflie
and Clover he said in the presence OF
DIR. ]. E. Massey and Mr.. F. p. Mccain
who were going to Glover with the
county campaign party, that the state
dispensary has always been corrupt
and 1t is as corrupt now as 1t has ever
been. He said that the state board Is
corrupt; but he Is only one man
against two and cannot help himself.
He cited that recently, over his pro-
test. the other two members Of the
board had purchased two thousand
cases of so-called case whisky. Upon
the arrival OF the whisky he, Wylie, In
sisted on having 1t analyzed. The an.
alysis showed q per cent Of alcohol
and the balance was various kinds Of
chemicals. AS the result Of the analy-
SIS. and Mr.. Wylie's threatening to
make a fuss, the liquor was sent back.
DR.. Massey and Mr.. Mccain both re-
peated Mr.. Wylie's statement to them
in their speeches at Glover.
