Clover May 23-NIasons from Gas
tonia, Yorkvillc, Sharon and other
towns and vicinities around to the
number of about hundred were
guests Of Alpine Lodge No. 22S OF
Clover at Third degree work in Ma
sonic lodge here last Friday evening.
Had it not been for the fact that Il
hard rain fell during the afternoon and
evening, the attendance no doubt
would have been much larger; many
not caring to take chances on sliding
and gliding through red muddy roads.
AS it was, however, the programme
was q most interesting one and all OF
those who were there were glad that
they came.
Present for the occasion was Q.
Frank Hart, OF Columbia, grand sccrc-
tary Of. the grand lodge of South Caro-
lima, who conferred the degree work
upon one of the two candidates of the
evening, Mr.. Jas A. Barrett of Clo-
YER; while the degree work was con-
fcrrcd upon the other candidate, Nr.
w. L. Jamison Of Yorkville, by Past
slaster W. NJ. Thompson Of Gastonia
Lodge No. 369.
In the course of lecture to the
candidates, Secretary Hart spoke of
the growth OF Masonry in South Caro-
lima, citing the fact that there arc now
more than 10000 members in the order,
an increase of about 100 per cent in
the past ton years.
During the evening refreshments in
the form of ham sandwiches and
pickles and lemonade were served by
members Of Alpine Lodge.

ar Day Success.
pollar Day held in Glover last Sat
urllay WIS quite il success irnnl Inc
stantlpoint of the merchants and other
business people interested. The buy
ing public was also pleased with the
bargains offered in practically every
instance and therefore everybody was
happy. IT. is predicted. here that rs Il
result Of Dullai. Day last Saturday Il
merchants uSSnriatiOn will be organ
lied. There has for a long Willie paSt
been 4 feeling that sointhing Of this
kind was necessary and it was learn
rd Friday evening that an orEaniz;i- :
ton will probably be effected among
merchants in the near future.
License Tax imposed.
The town council has passed an or
dinancc imposing Il partial license TAX
on business here. 1t is only u partial
affair." however and as Il result there
is a good deal of criticism over tho ac-
ton OF the town fathers. Under the
terms Of the ncw ordinance one who
sells meats must pay Il license tax OF
$50 IL year; but one who runs il mhh
pays nuti {. \ moving picture snow
must DAY a license of so Il year and
unc who would conduct a pool room
must pay 500 year for one table ana
snu0 4 year for each additional table
\ barbrrshop proprietor must pay Il
license of $40 Il year for the first chair
in his place of business according IL
, the published ordinance, and 50 l"l
each additional chair. y physician Is
rcu,Iired 10 pay no license ut all. A
could only get per cent on its Sink
ing fund anyway"
