Capt. Thomas Back.
DR.. Joseph E. Thomas, son Of Mr.. c.
T. Thomas Of Glover who was former
ly engaged in the practice of medicine
at Tirzah has returned after fourteen
months in the military service in
France and is visiting his family who
have been making their home here for
some time past. DR.. Thomas has not
fully decided upon his future plans.
His many friends here are trying to
persuade him to locate here for the
practice Of medicine, other friends
want him to locate in Yorkville; he has
been offered an attractive field in Rock
Hill and other offers, but he has not
decided upon anything as yet. Enter
ing the medical corps of the army
shortly after the outbreak Of the war
with Germany with the rank Of first
lieutenant, he saw much hard snrvice
in the medical corps of various neri-
can divisions. For exceptional work
and because Of his ability he was ad-
vanced to the rank of captain while
overseas and when discharged from
Camp Dix few days ago was offered
a commission as major In the reserve
medical corps with the rank Of major
which he declined with the statement
that he had more than enough of mi
litary service. Capt. Thomas went
through some Of the most terrific
struggles of the war so far as the
American forces were concerned and
escaped unscratched with the except
ion of slight injury to his foot caused
by being run over by an automobile.
Some Cotton Sold.
High prices being offered caused
a number of farmers Of the Glover
section to place at least a part Of their
cotton crop on the local market with
in the past week or ten days. w. P.
Smith, local buyer said that he had
bought quite a great deal. There is
still much cotton in the hands of the
farmers in the surrounding country
and there is little inclination on the
part Of the majority Of them to sell.
Many Methodists of Glover and vi
cinity attended the Rock Hill district
convention which was held In Kings
Mountain Chapel last week. OF inter-
est 70 Methodists Of this section was
the fact that three additional preachers
were licensed by the district confer
ence. They were V. o. McSwain of
Chester; and B. B. Blackwell and
O'dell Lineberger CT Rock Hill. All of
them are well known here.
