Glover, February 1O.-Mr. T. G. Mat
thews, who left here during the Christ
mas holidays for Lake Saranac, in the
Adirondack mountains in the extreme
northern part of New York state, has
been brought back, reaching here on
Wednesday afternoon. Mr.. Matthewss
health has been declining since the
spring Of last year, when he suffered
from an attack Of pleurisy, and has
been constantly under the care Of ply
sicians since that time. During the
late summer and early fall he seemed
to be on the road to recovery and was
able to be out and go where he pleased,
but the symptoms Of the malady did
not entirely disappear, hence the trip
to Saranac. For a short while after
his arrival there reports as to his con-
dition were somewhat encouraging,
but later were not satisfactory, and as
a result on last Friday his brother, Mr..
J. L. Matthews, left here for the pur-
pose Of ascertaining his condition. At
ter arriving there and consulting with
the physicians in charge, and who had
concluded that II any relief was to be
obtained an operation was necessary,
II was decided that the patient should
be brought home. Because Of his per-
sonal worth, exalted Christian charac-
ter, Mr.. Matthews Is universally es-
teemed throughout this community,
and wherever known, and while all are
solicitous as to his condition, entire
hope and faith in his ultimate recov-
cry has not been abandoned, provided
he now has or can regain sufficient
strength to successfully undergo the
operation which the New York doctors
advise.
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. Meek Smith Of this
place, accompanied by a sister Of Mrs.
Smith Of Gaffney, left Spartanburg on
Wednesday afternoon for Rochester,
Minn., where they go to consult DR..
Mayo, a surgeon with a world wide
reputation, with reference to Mrs.
Smiths health. 1t Is quite likely that
they will be absent for month or
longer. They will go via Cincinnati
and Chicago. Rochester Is situated In
the south eastern part Of Minnesota,
about $50 miles northwest Of Chicago,
Is a town Of about $4,000 population,
and has been made famous because II
happened to be the home Of the Drs.
Mayo, father and two sons.
About 5000 bales Of cotton-not 200
more or less-have been sold on this
market since the opening Of the pres
ent season, the largest in the history OF
the town. Over 1000 bales were bought
last week by Mr.. w. P. Smith, the price
paid being Is cents. 1t Is estimated
that only about 300 bales still remain
In the hands of farmers within ra-
dius Of six or eight miles Of here and
1t Is believed that practically all Of
1t will go II the price once more reach
es Is centsW.
The Glover Cotton Oil and Ginning
Co., will soon finish crushing seed for
the present season and the result will
be that the yield Of oil, meal, linters
and hulls will be about twice as large
as that Of last year. it's first season,
and the amount Of cotton ginned about
500 bales more, but owing to the fact
that the difference in the price of cot
ton seed and the products is much less
than last year, the proportionate mar
gin Of profit will not be so great. In
fact 1t Is said that the present season
has been one Of the most trying that
cotton oil mills have experienced In
several years.
