Glover, January 17.-Indications are
now that DR.. I. ]. Campbell will be re-
elected mayor of Glover without oppo-
sltion. The name of Mr.. C. n. AleXan-
der had been mentioned in connection
with the mayoralty; but inforna tion is
that Mr.. Alexander has declined to
make the race for a number of reasons,
among them being the fact that he is
disqualified since he has been resi-
dent Of the town only about eight
months, whereas residence of twelve
months in the county and two years in
the state is necessary to vote or hold
public elective office. Mayor Campbell
is now serving his first term and under
his administration Glover has made
good headway with all indications that
that progress will continue.
Still Holding Cotton.
An advancing cotton market during
the past several days has not wavered
farmers Of the Clover community in
their determination to hold on to their
cotton, with the result that sales to To-
cal buyers are almost nil. The ware
house here is loaded to capacity and
hundreds of bales are stored away on
private premises throughout this whole
section.
Road In Bad Shape.
The recent freeze and wet weather
has put the Filbert- Clover road in the
worst possible shape, with the result
that there is little if any traffic over
that route. Many people from the Fill
bert section coming to Clover are using
the road past the home of Mr.. Robert
Lawrence, while numerous others are
taking the more circutous route up the
Kings Mountain road, turning eff at
the home of Mr. w. G. Adams. Re-
ports brought here by Bethel township
people are to the effect that number
Of the roads in that township are in
very bad Condition as result Of the
recent bad weather. The Clover-Gas-
tonia road is in pretty good condition.
Possible New Buildings.
Information coming to the correspon-
dent is to the effect that it is not i'm
probable that the year 1921 will see re-
newed interest in building activities
here. At least two business firms it is
understood, have had the idea Of build
ing new quarters in mind for some time
and the step was not taken last year
for the sole reason that 1t was impos-
sblc to get the necessary work done.
The residence shortage is still more or
less acute in Clover and people we'll
posted say that there never was
greater demand for, dwelling houses.
The new First Presbyterian church
building is to go forward this year; the
congregation of the First Baptist
church has for some time had plans
under consideration for remodeling and
cnlarging the church edifice. Others
here. it is understood. have embryo
building plans under consideration,
which they do not care to make public
just at this time.
