cLovER's NUISANCE ENDED

The town Of Glover Is no longer pro-
viding a whisky depot for Castor and
other North Carolina counties that
border on the South Carolina line, as
has been the case for the past few
months
The traffic came to an end on last
Saturday.
Including the express receipts of
Friday night Saturday and Monday
and today, there are about 1875 pack
ages of liquor in the Glover express
Office, consigned to North Carolinians;
but no more of 1t is going out. More
than that, the North Carolinians have
quit coming after the stuff.
Upon receipt Of The Enquirer last
Friday afterioon carrying the recon-
mendation Of the grand jury on the
subject, and the remarks Of Judge
Rice in connection Herewith. Magis-
trate A. ]. Quinn took prompt action.
He called upon the express agent, ad-
vised him Of the law. and suggested
way to keep the North Carolinians
out Of trouble. His suggestion was to
the effect that when the people from
North Carolina applied for their pack
ages they should be told Of the ruling
Of the court that the gallon month
law was for South Carolinians only and
that North Carolinians with liquor In
their possession would be arrested for
violation Of the dispensary law against
transporting, the penalty for which is
confiscation Of the liquor and 5000 fine
or chaingang.
The large contingent Of North Caro-
linians showed up on Saturday morn
ing as usual and with them was a
bunch Of York county people, mostly
negroes from the surrounding coun-
try Magistrate Quinn was on hand,
accompanied by his constable, Carson
Hedricks, fully prepared to take care
Of any who might see proper to dis
regard the warning Of the express
agent.
But there was very little trouble.
The North Carolinians took the situ-
alton philosophically. They carried
rather gloomy looking countenances as
they came out Of the express office;
but that was all. They started back
home at once, and the news they car
ried spread like wild fire, and made
others that they met on the road turn
about.
There was only one arrest. A negro
named Monroe Lockhart, who said he
formerly lived at TirZah; but now lives
near Bethany, receipted for a package
Of liquor and got away with 1t. Some
people who knew the negro told
Magistrate Quinn that he lives In
North Carolina, and the magistrate
promptly took means to catch him.
He is now In the county Jail.
There are still about 125 packages of
liquor in the Glover express office, less
a few packages that may have been
signed for and sent back. But the
hacks and jitney busses have ceased
coming. There were a few there yes
terday; but none have showed up this
morning so far as heard from.
The course Of Magistrate Quinn In
the matter is generally commended
about Glover. He acted on the theory
that since the practice Of getting IL
quer into North Carolina by way
of Clover had become generally
accepted as within the law. and even
the magistrate knew no better, 1t
would be unfair to go into wholesale
arrests without previous warning, and
this view is met with common ap-
proval.
All the Glover people and the people
along the North and South road from
Glover to the North Carolina line
wanted was to stop the nuisance, and
II has been stopped
