tainty-Personal and Other Matters.

Clover, September 1S-Young people
of Glover and vicinity began leaving
for the various schools and colleges
this week. Names of those who will
attend colleges of the state and vi
cinity have already been enumerated
In this correspondence. Already
Glover has begun to miss their CHEEKY
persons and an air Of social gaiety for
which they are responsible will be
lacking for the next nine months. The
number of boys and girls of the town
and community attending school and
college away from home this fall is
the largest in the history of the town.
People are Pleased.
That clover will have a concrete
road leading through the Main street
of the town is now almost a certainty.
People of Glover and the surrounding
community learned with pride and
pleasure that the state highway COM
mission had approved the towns ap-'
plication for $4,000 Federal aid, bas-
ed on the willingness of the property
owners and the people of the town to
pay the other half of the $4,000 re-
quired to build the road through the
town. A meeting of the town council
will be held in the near future at
which time all arrangements will be
made for raising the towns half OF the
fund. Speaking of the matter few
days ago, prominent Glover man
said: II don't think any reasonable
citizen could help but realize that we
have the chance of q lifetime to get
a good road through the town for half
price. If we don't take advantage of
this federal aid, we are simply los
ing chance to get a good road
cheaper than we will ever have again.
1t is only going to be matter of
few years until We have concrete roads
all over York county and by taking on
to, this proposition now we are saving
ourselves money that we will have to
pay out in the future if we don't take
advantage of the opportunity"
Cotton Ginnings Short.
Up to- yesterday considerably less
than 100 bales of cotton had been
ginned at Glover whereas up to this
time last year more than 1e0 bales
had been yinned. Both the Glover
ginneries have been ready for business
for sometime; but sufficient. cotton to
keep them busy hasn't been coming in,
According to Mr.. w. P. Smith, local
cotton buyer much of the cotton that
has been gihned here has been put on
the market as soon as ginned and Clio
Yer merchants say that a slight in
crease in business that is to be notice.
is. proof of the fact that some cotton
is being sold. =
Schools to Continue Work.
Adult night schools which were or
ganized at the Glover and Hawthorne
Mills this summer by Mr.. James Sif-
ford will not be discontinued although
Mr.. Sifford has found it necessary 10
discontinue the work in order that he
might return to the University of
South Carolina to continue his studies
there. Misses Bessie Adams and
Bessie jackson, well known young
ladies of Glover, both Of whom have
had long experience as teachers will
continue the classes which will be he'll
three nights each week-probahly
Monday, Wednesday and Friday. rhe
total enrolment at both schools was
twenty-four and of these fifteen were
taught to read and write, the other
pupils having already had slight in
struction in elementary education. The
Oldest pupil taught at the adult schools
in Glover this summer was Sc years
of age. Seven male pupils over Il
years of age attended the school and
three females over 21. The state de-
partment of education offered vaiG.
able prize to the college student of the
state who taught the largest number Of
illiterate adults during ono month of
the summer and whose pupils showed
the greatest progress. The winner of
the prize has not been announced. Mr..
Sifford voluntarily conducted the adult
schools here two months instead, of
one month.
Baseball Season Ended.
End of the baseball season so far as
Glover is concerned came last Satur-
day when q Glover team hooked up
with Bessemer City, n. c., agsrcGa-
ton in the latter town. The game
ended in a row in the eighth inning
with the score to in favor of Clo-
yer, the locals taking offense at the
alleged action of the Besscmcr boys
putting in a ringer" player against
them.
May Build New Church.
Baptsts of Glover are considering
the matter of building a new church
edifice here. The proposition has as
sumed no definite shape as yet and
1t Is hardly likely that anything will
be done for awhile: but a new church
building sooner or later is practically
a certainty. Members of the denomi-
nation have long realized the need for
a new building and have been making
unofficial Investigations as to the pro-
bable cost of building, the like oi
which they would have.
