Clover Sept. 25-Much interest here
attaches in the election to be held on
next Tuesday on the question OF
whether or not Glover shall come
under a legislative act giving the
town council the right to assess abutt-
ing property for street Improvement
purposes. This action is being taken
in order to provide for the building OF
concrete road through the Main
street of Glover upon which project
Federal aid in the sum Of $4,000 has
been recommended by the state high
way commission. The balance of the
cost is to be raised by assessment OF
property owners and from funds OF
the town. There has been consider
able discussion of the proposed elec-
tion next Tuesday and promoters OF
the movement are quite confident that
it will carry, although there will be
quite n few votes registered against IT..
The town registration is about $50,
but it is not expected that the vote
will be anything like that. r. A..
Jackson, r. M. Campbell and w. O..
Strpup have been named managers of
election. 1t is understood that there Is
rather strenuous objection on the part
OF some of the property owners af-
fected and it is rumored that these
will seek injunction proceedings in
the courts If the election carries.
Counts to Move.
r. A. Counts for number of years
past in the Mercantile business in the
Stroup block next door to the post
office must vacate his store room by
January 1, and as yet he Is undecided
about his future plans. w. B. Stroup,
owner of the block proposes to use
the store room now occupied by Mr..
Counts for the further extension Of his
own business, though just along what
lines he has not definitely decided. w.
Oates Stroup Of the firm Of w. b..
Stroup said Tuesday that the matter
of establishing Ladies Furnishing
store in the building occupied now by
Mr.. Counts was under advisement bat
nothing had been definitely decided
upon. Mr.. Counts on Tuesday was
undecided whether he would remain in
Clover or not, since at that time 1T
did not appear that any suitable store
room was vacant.
Meeting of Postmasters.
Postmaster Jas. A. Barrett of Clover
attended q meeting Of postmasters In
Columbia, Tuesday at which meeting
initial steps were taken looking for
ward toward the formation Of the
South Carolina Postmasters' Associa-
ton. A committee composed Of one
member from each congressional dis
trict was appointed to have charge of
all details in getting the postinasters
together in q state association. Steps
to form the association to include
every postmaster in South Carolina
were taken after the meeting had
discussed the need for increased sal
aries and selected delegates to so before
the joint congressional committees
sitting in Atlanta, Memphis and
Washington to hear complaint from
the various states as to the raising of
salaries.
Working Overtime.
DIR. ]. Ed Brison, proprietor of the
City Pharmacy has been working
overtime the past week or two owing
to the scarcity of labor or rather soda
perkcrs. A. Glenn Mackey who has
been in the employ of the City
Pharmacy for the past two years or
more left recently for Georgetown,
where he accepted a position. DR..
Br!son promptly tried to secure the
services of an assistant in Mr.. Mack
ey's place and three young men have
had the place since he left, most all
of them practically inexperienced. The
last employe was a lad from Union
county who had the idea that the life
of a druggist was one of ease COM
pared with that of farmer and came
to Clover. However after staying on
the job few days he undertook to
organize q Back to the Farm" move
ment all his own and returned from
whence he came without much adieu.
So DR.. Bri3on is holding the fort all
by himself until he is able to get the
man he wants. Running the City
Pharmacy at Glover is considerably
more than one mans job, however.
Forward Movement Started.
The Forward Movement of the A. r.
P. Synod which has as its object the
raising of s25O,00O for church work
was started in the Glover A. r. p.
church last Sunday night. The appor-
tionmcnt of the fund which the local
church is asked to subscribe is slightly
in excess to $1,000 and the congrega-
ton is confident that it will be able to
raise the amount. Mr.. u. NJ. Nell ,ad-
dressed the congregation in the inter-
csts of the movement Sunday even
ing.
