Glover, May 25.-Clover business men
have started something by which they
believe that they are going to put the
town more on the map Not that IT
isn't there now; but at the same time
it isn't another New York yet, and the
idea is to push it in that direction, or
try it at any rate.
There's reason for the new move
ment and a good one too. For years
numbers Of people Of Clover and COM
munity have been accustomed to doing
a lot of their shopping in Gastoniar
Charlotte, Yorkville and other places
around. Clover business men natural
ly don't like that, especially If they can
supply the same goods right at home
and that they feel sure they can do and
for less money than the fellow In some
|
60 and New York mail order houses
used to take a lot Of money out Of Clo7
yer and community that should have
stayed at home. OF late Charlotte,
! Gastonia and Yorkville and other
fplaces have backed the mail order
sha. ks off the boards so far as this
business is concerned. Now the Clover
business people want to get it away
from them.
See Chance for Progress.
That isn't all. People who live here
and who have. lived here for years,
know there is wonderful opportunity
here for commercial and industrial de-
velopment and they want to make the
most of that opportunity. Hence all
the argument and talk which has just
resulted in steps looking toward the
organization Of the Glover chamber Of
commerce
At meeting Of business men held in
the opera house Tuesday night with
DR.. r. L. Wylie acting as chairman,
preliminary steps looking to the or
ganization Of a chamber Of commerce
were taken. A board Of directors of
twelve business men were elected as
follows: NJ. L. Smith. G.. n. AleXalnn:- exam:
der r. L. Wylie, I. J. Campbell, ". @:
Hambright, Jas. A. Page, S. A. Sifford'
G.. F. Hambright, o. A. Neil, w. 0.
Stroup, w. T. Beamguard and Edmund
Ford.
Officers Elected.
Officers were elected as follows:
Mayor ]. ]. Campbell, president; DR.. K.
l.. Wylie, first vice president; Jas. A.
Page, second vice president; c. N.

treasurer.
It is proposed to have another meet
ing of the organization Monday night,
when popular speakers will be on hand,
refreshments will be served and a
whirlwind, membership campaign inau-
gurated.
It is the purpose to include In the
chamber Of commerce membership not
only business men of Glover; but peo-
pie Of the surrounding country In the
hope Of drawing all interests together
by a closer bond than has ever been
known before. There was considerable
enthusiasm at the meeting Tuesday
evening and the matter has been more
or less discussed since.
Members of the organization nave
dreams of new families moving into
Glover and of increased business and
general prosperity, the like of which
the town has never known before.

been turning their cotton loose In large
quantities during the past ten days. 1t
is estimated that within that length OF
time no less than 800 bales have been
sold. The selling movement continues.

away with the Rex mill team Of Gas
tOnia, on the local lOC iaSI Satuiu w
