Glover, November 11,-Although
hunureds Of bales OF cotton have been
brought 10 the gins and sold here,
there is still much Of the staple in
the field in this section and the far
mers will have much work to do be-
tore the last Of the crop has been
put up in saleable shape. Although
the crop in this section Is somewhat
short compared with last year, the
dir1erence in price more than makes
up the difference in quantity and the
farmers are therefore not greatly
worried.
Generally speaking business in Clo-
yer is very good at this time and Clo-
yer merchants have little reason to
and are not complaining. This week,
however, has been just a little on,
probably owing to the decline in the
price of cotton. All the merchants
nave heavy stocks Of winter goods
and are confidently expecting to dis
pose OF the same with little trouble.
Ine liquor appetite Of many Gas
ton county people seems to be increas-
ing, judging by the number Of pack
ages Of liquor consigned to other
than Glover citizens and which are
put off here. Each day sees several
CASTOR county cars filled with CASTOR
county people come to the depot here,
sign for packages Of liquor, and re-
turn rejoicing. Business Is most brisk
at the Clover express office on Thurs
Jay evening and Friday morning since
the CASTOR county traffic Is greater
at that time than on other days OF the
week.
Clover's new hotel which Is in
course of erection near the postoftice
on Kings Mountain street, will prob
ably be completed by Christmas. The
hotel Is to be a 12-room structure and
will be conducted by Mrs. F. II.
Youngblood.
The Glover high school is in the
most fiourishing condition in its his
tory. The average attendance since
the school entered upon Its annual
term few weeks ago, has been over
the 200 mark. Patrons are well pleas
ed with the work Of Superintendent.
j.. w. Shealy and his assistants.
A number Of people who are In
position to know, have informed your
correspondent that there Is not. so
much grain being sowed in this Sec
ton at this time as last fall. This Is
particularly true as to wheat. How

put in the ground and the community
will not be totally without home rails
ed flour next year.
Need of good rain Is being felt by
farmers Of the Glover vicinity just
now The ground Is almost too hard
to plow and the roads are quite dusty.
Yes we are willing to lend money
to farmers on cotton at per cent
remarked Mr.. Jas. A. Page, cashier
Of the Bank Of Glover, to your CORES
pondent recently, but so far we have
had very few applications, hardly
more than half a dozen. The fact Is,
the farmers of this section are not In
need of money very badly and not
many Of them are welded to the idea
of storing their cotton in warehouses,
Most Of them who are holding their
cotton have 1t in sheds or In the open
near their homes"
A common sight on the streets here
is a large truck which is used in haul
ing cotton from the cotton platform
of Mr.. w. P. Smith to the Loray mills
in Gastonia. The truck has been in
operation between Gastonia and Clo-
yer for some time. II has been found
after investigation, that cotton can be
hauled from Glover to Gastonia much
cheaper by auto truck than 1t can be
shipped by freight.
Mr.. James A. Barrett, secretary,
informed your correspondent the
other day, that it is the intention Of
Clover council Jr. o. u. A. NJ, to pre-
sent the Bowling Green school with
a Bible and flag at some time in the
near future.
opening of the hunting season next
Monday with a great deal Of interest.
Many guns have been cleaned up and
oiled during the past few days and
1t Is quite likely that a number will
be out after birds on the opening day
of the season. Partridges are said to
be plentiful around here this season
and a number Of ducks have been
seen on Crowders Creek and the Cat
awba in Bethel township.
Robert Turner who had the mis-
fortune to have his hand shot off
last Saturday is getting along as we'll
as could be expected.
Mr.. w. F. Wood sustained a slight
stroke of paralysis on Monday, His
friends will be pleased to learn that
his condition is not serious and that
he is able to be out again.
Mr.. and Mrs. T. w. McElwee, Mr..
and Mrs. d. NJ. Parrott and Miss Bessie
Love were visitors in Charlotte on
Wednesday.
