Glover, Aug. 15.-Relatiyes friends
and acquaintance to the number OF
more than 125. gathered at the home Of
Mr.. NJ. NJ. Pendleton, near St Paul
church in Bethel township last Satur-
day to do honor to Mr.. James. II. iCeek.
Confederate veteran on the occasion OF
his Sist birthday. The anniYersary
celebration came rather as a surprise
to Mr.. Cook, who, however, surmised
what was up when he saw Magistrate
Andy Quinn Of Clover driving up with
Messrs. John Knox, ]. ]. Wilson and j.
F. Currence, Confederate veterans and
friends Of Mr.. Cook Then relatives
and friends from all sections began to
come in, bringing boxes and baskets.
Shortly after noon a picnic dinner was
spread in the yard in front Of the
house and after the blessing had been
asked by Rev. J. G. HGggin, pastor OF
st. Paul church, dinner was served.
The crowd spent practically all day AT
the home of Mr.. 'Pendleton, returning
to their respective homes in the late
afternoon carrying pleasant recollec-
tions of an enjoyable occasion.
Preparing for Fishing Trip.
]. Clyde Ford, George Mccall, ].
Meek Smith, DR.. J. e. Brison and other
we'll known sportsmen OF Glover, are
now busy making preparations for
their annual fall fishing expedition to
the Edisto river, near Charleston. The
party which will include number Of
Glover people will leave within a few
days and will spend a week or ten
days hunting and fishing along the
Edisto in Charleston, Dorchester and
Colleton counties.
Made Them Sick. q q
It doesn't pay to "swipe" a water
melon or to eat a piece of "a water
melon that has been .'swiped," so
several popular Glover people learned
to their cost last week. Last Friday a
well known young man noticed.ta .
watermelon that had been left in front
of business house on Main street.
The owner falling to. appear after
several hours, the young man carried
1t into his own place OF business and
placed It in the ice box. -
On Friday. afternoon he invited
several Of his friends including a
popular Glover lady to come in and
help eat the melon. They ate 1t and Il
tasted good. -
But the next day all Of the partici-
pants in the feast felt badly, one Of
them so badly that he. had to remain
in bed all day. The others managed
to drag about; but were very much
nauseated. "-
Theory is that the melon was either
poisoned or else some Glover wag had
"doped" 1t with some substance cal
culated to produce nausea.
Never again." said several Of those
who shared in the feast and who told
the correspondent about the incident
Saturday afternoon. ..- .a-.. -. .s -,
Win for the Tigers.
Living we'll up to their name the
Glover Tigers" tore up the Highland
Park baseball team Of Rock Hill, on
Hawthorn Field Saturday afternoon by
score Of Is to o. The visitors were
simply outclassed and toward the last
of the contest the Tigers lost much
Of their ferocity and, took It easy, see
ing that the Highland Park boys were
not in their class. Lee Killlan, pitch
ing for the Tigers" had the visitors
at his mercy from the very first frame
and he was given great support by his
teammates. A feature of the game
was the heavy hitting of Dick Brack-
EFT, Tiger shortstop who had no Diff
ficulty knocking the pill all ever the
lot. The Tigers" who are managed
by Second Baseman Bate Harvey have
had a great season so far and they
expect to play a number OF additional
games before the baseball season
comes to close.
