Organizing Housing Corporation.
Leading Glover business men and
financiers are behind a movement hav-
ing as itc object the organization of
the Clover Housing Corporation which
proposes to build q number of cottages
for the benefit of those families, who,
desiring to come to Glover to live, have
been prevented from doing so because
of the fact that there are no places or
residence available. The movement to
organize q housing corporation which
will build several residences was
started this week, and proposes to
raise a capital Of 100000, the money to
Re used in the building Of a number OF
small cottages. Up to Wednesday
afternoon $1,000 of the amount had
been subscribed and promoters of the
enterprise were confident that the re-
mainder would be secured without
much difficulty. Possibly no town in
the Piedmont section is in greater
need of residences at the present time
than is Glover. AS has been mentioned
i'm this correspondence beforr there is
not a vacant house in the town and
there is not a single house for sale. AT
least four good families are desirous OF
moving to Glover at the present time.
Niaht School Making Progress.
The adult night school at the Glover
Cotton Mill which has been conducted
for several weeks past by Miss Bess
Adams who succeeded Mr.. James Sif-
rard in the work when Mr.. Sifford re-
turned to the University of South
Carolina continues to make good pro-
gress, according to the teacher.
Classes are held two nights each week
and at present there are twepty-eight
PUPILS enrolled. instruction is being
giver the pupils in the elements of
education including reading, writing
and arithmetic, and to those who de-
sire it in even other branches. Sew
eral of the pupils attending the school
will likely compete for a prize which
has been offered by the state depart
ment of education for the greatest pro-
gress exhibited in any adult night
school in the state and in fact all OF
the pupils will probably be requested
to write letters which may be entered
in the prize competition.
