Making Moro Room.
The Glover school very .mucl
crowded last year because Of the larg,
attendance bids fair to be very muci
more crowded this year because Of tn,
compulsory attendance law and further

the Hawthorn and Glover Mills where.
by a house Is to be had at each mil
to be used as a school room for par
Of the pupils of Glover school district
The question Of building large addi.
ton to the present school building OF

agitated and no citizen doubts the fac
that the need is great. But no new

attempted this year at least.

The Crop Outlook.
Crops in the Glover country are
looking only fairly good, according tc
well posted farmers and other more OF
less keen observers and the prospect
is not one to cause elation. Worms
are playing havoc with the old corr
and the young corn has suffered much
on account of lack of rain while cot.
ton is small and not in healthy condi-
ton by a great deal. There Is some.
what of a scarcity Of farm labor ir
some sections and taken all in all, the
outlook Is not very encouraging. Il
there is going to be any laying-by time
for the farmers this year it is going
to be very late and Of rather short
duration.
Little Cotton Selling.
Although the Glover cotton marke
has been around 33 cents all this week
there has been very little selling anc
the indications are that there will no
be even If the market goes to IS cent!
and over. Farmers in the Glover coun
try have considerable cotton on hand
| it is understood, but there is little in
dication Of much tendency on thei
part to turn loose-not yet.
Getting Ready for Road Work
Early August will see the inaugura
ton of road work in Kings Mountain
township made possible by the recen
bond issue of 100000 for road building
purposes. Just how the money is to b.
spent, that is what roads will be work
ed, has not been definitely decided
However one thing Is certain-tht
road from York township through Clo'
yer to the North Carolina line will bt
put in good shape. There are abou
$50 miles of public road in King!
Mountain township maybe more ant
while it is felt that 100000 won't ac
complish a great deal, it will be made
to go as far as possible with careful
and economical management.
