Glove Went DRY"

Glover, ork county, the Last
Chance" stand for the morally
stuntoa of CASTOR county and
o. er adjacent Tar Heel territory,
is no longer an open port of
entry. As a liquor depot for
North Carolinians it is no more.
For the last two weeks the num-
ber Of Gastonians who have
traversed the highway from
Gastonia to Clover formerly
such a popular ad-has been
negligible. The attraction is
gone. There is some liquor in
the Glover depot consigned to
North Carolinians but it is likely
10 remain there until it is ship
ped back to the manufacturers.
This condition of affairs came
about as the result of ruling
made by Judge Rice who was
holding court at York. He
resurrected an old dispensary
law which says that non-resi-
dents cannot come into South
Carolina and get liquor which
has been shipped to them there.
He produced the law and there
you are. The Glover people are
glad and the North Carolina
people hat is some OF them
are mad.

city, on Saturday received a tel

Rogers, was in hospital in
Danville, Va, as a result of hav-
ing lost an arm in a railroad ac-
cident in that city earlier in the
day. No details of the accident
were given. Rogers is about 16
years of age.
An enjoyable event of the last
week was the annual banquet of
the local military company given
in the armory Wednesday night.
A number of invited guests, to-
gether with the members Of the
company, were present and, af-
ter supper, listened to short ad-
dresses by Capt. S. w. Parks,
Mayor B. E. Patterson and Capt.

The Rev. w. H. Hafner, of the
Fort Mill Presby terian church,
announced from his pulpit Sun
day morning that he had not up
to that time reached a decision

by patrons and friends of the
Fort Mill graded school Friday.
A large crowd of both men and
women gathered at the school
building early in the morning
and labored untiringly through

school grounds. AS a result of
the days work, and work which
has since been done, one would
scarcely recognize the place as
the same. The work on the
grounds is to be continued at
intervals until the walks and
driveways mapped out have been
completed and made permanent.
