Correspondence The Yorkville Enquirer
Clover, September 20.-The Glover
High school has by far the largest
enrolment in it's history, n the
trustees of the school will find it nee
essary to employ an additional teach
er, hich will be lone this week.
Some young lady Of this place will be
employed. Never before have SO
many pupils living out Of town at
tended the Glover school. The great
majority of these are in the primary
and grammar school grades. Last
year two Of the school rooms were not
utilized. This year they will be useo.
There are So pupils in the second and
third grades and 1t will be necessary
to make a division there.
1t is estimated that nearly lOO
bales of cotton were sold on the Glover
market last week at a price ranging
around 10 cents. AS a result thereon
some increase was noted in the amount
of O in circulation here. Farm
ers in this community appear to be
divided on the question OF marketing
their cotton as soon as they can get II
out or holding it for better prices. 1t
is expected, however, that large guam
titles Of cotton will be placed on this
market within the next few days.
Messrs. T. M. Campbell and H. P.
Jackson are the latest entrants in the
cotton buying market here. They be-
gan business last week.
A vaudeville stock company played
at Smith Bros opera house Thursday,
Friday and Saturday evenings to good
sized audiences. Clover has had sew
eral theatrical entertainments this
summer and it is understood that a
number of attractions will be billed
mere during the fall and winter.
Glover is becoming a dumping
ground for liquor to be consumed by
the booze artists Of CASTOR county,"
remarked a we'll known citizen Of this
place to your correspondent the other
day. 1T is a common occurrence for
twelve or fifteen automobiles from
CASTOR to come to town in a day Tor
the purpose of carrying liquor ship
ped by express to Glover, back, to
CASTOR county. The cars often contain
sever or eight people each OF whom
signs for a gallon of whisky which he
has in the Glover express office.
Sometimes a CASTOR county nal
comes with his wife to the express Of
flee. The man signs for a package
and his wife for another. Las week
a white man driving a large touring
car, the back seats Of which were &C.
cupied by five negroes, came to the
office. The white man secured a
package and each Of the negroes got
a gallon. Whether or not all the
whisky was the property Of h white
man is q matter of doubt here. After
CASTOR county first adopted prohi-
hilton, none save white men secured
whisky from South Carolina, but now
negroes are getting theirs the same
way. Most of them come in automo-
biles but those who can't afford a a
adopt a horse and buggy and
make the long 12-mile ride from Cas-
tonia by that slow method Of travel
Your correspondent noted four CASTOR
cars and several horses and buggieS
belonging to North Carolinians in
Glover after whisky Saturday. Most
people of this town and vicinity look
on the practice with disgust, but
realize they nave no redress.
Business men of Glover are opti-
mistic over the prospect for much
trade this fall and to be consistent
with their spirit, many OF them have
ordered large stocks Of fall and winter
goods. They say the fact that buyers
are even now paying 10 cents and
better for cotton, is an indication that
the staple will bring an even larger
figure later on and that since crops
in the community are as good if not
better than usual, there is no reason
why their business should not be much
better than it was last fall.
Mr.. John A. Jackson has recently
repainted and overhauled a large de-
livery wagon which will be used to
convey the children of Liberty school,
located two miles south Of here, to the
Clover High school. 1t is expected
that the enrolment Of the High school
will be increased about 20 pupils since
the Liberty school has been discon-
tinued. The big transfer wagon was
put into service for the first time
this morning and some little sensa-
ton was created when the bright and
smiling children drove into town in
their new carriage.
An amusing game of baseball played
here last week was the contest between
