Correspondence OF the Yorkville Enquirer.
Glover. June 1s.-Owing to the fact
that the firm with which Mr.. II. z.
Jackson contracted to install an ice
plant failed to carry out its agreement
to have the apparatus ready for busl-
ness by June I, the agreement has been
annulled. 1t is possible that another
agreement may be entered into later on
providing for a plant to commence
operations next spring.
While the actual work Of erecting the
plant Of the Glover Cotton Oil and Gin
ming company has not been commenc-
ed, still practically all the material for
the buildings, including the brick for
the main operating building, and also
the machinery has been bought and II
is the expectation of the management
to commence the work Of erecting the
buildings during the next few days.
An interesting game of ball was play
ed on the local diamond on last Satur-
day afternoon, between Glover and Be-
gonia. 1t was an eleven inning contest,
and up to the close Of the tenth the
score stood to 4, and was anybody :
game. BY reason of several errors by
Begonia in the eleventh, Glover made
four runs, making the score 8 to 4
The season is young yet and 1t Is quite
likely that Begonia will come back at
Glover several times before the wind
up.
Mr.. Jas. A. Page, cashier Of the Bank
of Clover, is at Wrightsville Beach, N.
c., attending the ninth annual conven-
ton of the South Carolina Bankers as
sociation, which convened on Wednes-
day. There are few men anywhere
who stick closer to business or do
more work than does Mr.. Page. Dur
ing the three and half years that he
has been in charge Of the bank, he has
not been away from his post as much
as two weeks altogether, and 1t Is gen
orally conceded that few, If any, banks
in this section are better managed or
more prosperous than the one In his
charge. He is expected back tomor-
row. During his absence, Mr.. James
Hardin, a recent graduate Of Wofford
and who has previously assisted Mr.
Page, has been In charge.
In the death of Mr.. R. A. Hagans
which occurred on May 29, as an
nounced in The Enquirer last week
Glover lost a good citizen. He and his
family moved here fifteen or twenty
years ago from the Filbert neighbor-
hood. Mr.. Hagans was a member OF
the Fifth S. c. volunteers during the
war, and his comrades state that few
II any, in that famous organization
came nearer measuring up to all re-
quirements. Previous to moving tC
Glover, he engaged in farming and
school teaching. He Is said to have
been especially talented in mathema-
tics, there being few problems either
in arithmetic or the higher branches
that he could not readily solve.
While 1t is fact that numerous far
mers in this section are not yet con-
vinced that Mr.. Williamson is correct
in advocating the stunting Of corn un-
til it reaches q certain stage, many OF
them because of the continued wet
weather and their inability to cultivate
their corn as they otherwise would
have done, stand to either make or lose
a corn crop this year In following his
instructions as to fertilization and cul-
tivation after it has reached the proper
stage Much of the corn Is at the pre-
scribed stage now and in the condition
in which Mr.. Williamson says 1t should
be. and the farmers are exceedingly
anxious to give not only it, but also the
cotton the attention 1t so much needs.
