Good Day for Business.
Glover merchants and business peo-
pie generally enjoyed the best days
business last Saturday that they have
known this fall according to q num-
Der of merchants and other local bus
mess people who were interviewed on
.he subject yesterday Sales at our
store last Saturday exceeded those OF
any other day this fall" said Mr.. d
NJ. Parrott, leading dry goods mer-
chant of Glover, "and that Is saying a
good deal because we have had no
reason to complain about business al
any time this fall. Sales last Satur-
day, however were at least % per
cent greater than any other day this
fall. There were lots Of people in town
that day-all of them appeared to have
plenty of money and they spent it right
along"
Patronizins Government Grocery.
Glover people are patronizing the
government grocery store in Charles
ton quite generously and almost every
mail from Charleston brings parcels
posts packages Of goods ordered from
the government grocery store by local
people. Sales have not been as ex-
tensive as Postmaster Barrett would
like to see because every purchase
means an extension of the postal re-
ceipts of the Glover postofffce, but
still Glover has shown up pretty we'll.
Refuse State Memorial:
Thus far Glover has fallen down on
it's arportionment to the fund which is
being collected in York county to be
used in the building of memorial to
soldiers of the late war to be located
in Columbia. Glover people are evil
IDENTITY not interested in providing
buildings for the city Of Columbia. The
local apportionment toward the cause
was $500 and a number tof4 leading
ladies of Glover have for several days
past been making a canvass of the
town and community with view to
having it come across; but without
avail Collections have totaled less
than 500 and there is feeling that
that is all that can be secured. One
canvasser went to twelve families In
succession all Of whom refused to
contribute a penny to the cause. Sub
scriptions to the Third Red Cross Roll
Call canvass have up to date been
hardly more generous. Clover's ap-
portionment for the current year was
240 members and at a meeting Of the
local executive committee Tuesday 1t
was decided that $50 members could be
secured; but tabulations Of hearts and
dollars" to the cause up to this morn
ing had resulted in the collection of
less than 500. Miss Annie Doty OF
Winnsboro who is in charge of the
Home Service Section Of Red Cross
work was here Tuesday to confer with
the executive committee about future
local Red Cross work.
Ginning Decreases.
UP to Wednesday approximately B.
100 bales of cotton had been ginned in
Clover this season; but all indications
pointed to the fact that the season was
about over and that really the local
ginneries could easily take care Of all
the cotton brought here now for gin
ninr or that would be brought until
the end Of the season by running only
three days a week. No arrangement
has yet been made about that as yet.
Fell Upon by Thieves.
Messrs. w E. Admas of Glover and
w. +. Flanagan of Bowling Green
fell among thieves while en- route to
tho meeting of the Presbyterian Synod
of South Carolina at Anderson last
week. Luckily they were not badly
hurt by their assailants although their
respective pocketbOoks were touched
for small amounts. 1t happened in
Greenville, according to information
brought back by Mr.. Adams. Ringing
Brcthers' circus was playing in Green
vile the day the two gentlemen were
en- route to Anderson, and numbers oi
pickpockets who usually accompany
circuses were on the job in Greenville
II was necessary for Messrs. Adams
and Flanagan to change trains III
Greenville, going from there to An
derson on the Piedmont Northern
line. There was a crowd at the station
in Greenville, members of the light
6pcerad fraternity being numbered
