Finds Great improvements.
Mr.. S. w. Wallace Of Shelby county,
Texas, a native Of York county who
moved. to Texas forty-nine years ago
and who is now visiting relatives and
friends in Glover and community and
other sections of York county, the visit
being the first he has made in the past
eighteen years, finds many evidences OF
progress since he was here last and
while a bit partial to the state of his
adoption is bound to cdmit that York
county is superior to his Texas county
in some particulars. Mr.. wallace
notes many evidences Of progress in
community building in the past
eighteen years and declares that the
fine school houses, handsome churches
and commodious homes that he finds
on every hand are revelation to him.
The crop situation in his section OF
Texas was rather poor when he LETT
home several weeks ago and advices
he has since received are to the erect
that there has been little improvement.
He says that the York county pros
pect is the brightest that he saw any
where between his home and YORK
county. Mr.. Wallace is a brother OF
the late Joseph F. Wallace, who was
for many years clerk Of court OF YORK
county: he served throughout the war
Between the States with Mr.. l.. r. Will
Jams and other we'll known York coun-
ty men and he has many friends and
acouaintances throughout the county,
He has been finding Keen enjoyment
in hunting up many Of his old ac-
uuainances since his return to the
county that he first left in 1872. AL
though he is now IS years Of age Mr..
Wallace's health is still good and ne
still retains his capacity to do a gooo
davis work. He expects to return to
his Texas home time next week.
Construction Work Going On.
Fair progress Is being made on the
construction Of the building on King
Mountain street which will be occupied
nv the new bank which will begin bus
mess in Glover some time this fall with
V. O. Hambright of Rock Hill as cash.
ier. The brick work on the structure
is we'll under way and provided there
is no serious handicap through inapil-
" 10 secure the necessary materials
the building should be completed ano
ready for occupancy within a few
weeks at most. Construction work on
the addition to the Hawthorn Mill Is
not progressing so speedily, accordlne
to General Manager M. L. Smith VINO
saws the trouble lies in the fact that II
is almost impossible to get the proper
materials. Thus far only two car loads
of brick have been received.
