About IL years ago Edgefield LOST
a good citizen through the remova.
ofMr. A. A. Glover to North
Orangeburg county. Having married
a very estimable lady from North
Miss Florence Livingston, it was
quite natural for him to decide to 10.
cate in her home town, thus enabling
her to be constantly among hel
friends and loved ones. After. moving
to North Mr.. Glover served for ten
years as rural mail carrier on one
of the three routes leading from that
town and as the people had oppor-
tunity to know more and more Of the
new conner their respect and esteem
for him steadily grew. This conf
dence in the erstwhile stranger was
the more quickly and firmly estab-
lished by the active part which Mr..
Glover began to take in every phase
of the community life. Instead of
being as "dumb driven CATTLE" Mr..
Glover always preferred to be ga he
70 in the strife" Having two daugh-
tiers to educate, he began at nee to
take an active interest in the school
and also became actively Identified
with the Baptist church, transferring
his membership from Edgefield soon
after locating in North. 1t mattered
not what was undertaken for the
public welfare, Mr.. Glover was al
ways ready to join head, heart, and
hand with the good people of North
for it's accomplishment.
When a vacancy occurred in the
post office at North about two years
ago he was urged to become an appli-
cant for the place, easily securing
the appointment. Through his native
ability, together with courteous and
obliging treatment of everybody he
not only made good with the govern
ment but the manner in WHICH he has
filled the office has been entirely
satisfactory to the people. When his
term expires in 1924 it is not prob
able that anyone will oppose him for
the place. It is generally conceded
that he will continue to serve the
people as postmaster irrespective of
whatever party is in power in Wash
ington. The job will not be handed
out from the political 'pie counter"
in Washington, as Mr.. Glover will
probably be unopposed for the place.
Since Mr.. Glover located in North,
a stranger among strangers, the geo
pie have been good to him and he ap-
preciates their friendship and es-
TEEN. As an expression Of this ap-
probation, some weeks ago he hap
PLY conceived the plan of entertain
ing his friends for a day on Thurs
day, July ~, with an old-fashioned
Edgefield barbecue, bearing all the
expense himself. And in order to
make it huely a la Edgefield, he re-
quested Edgefield's leading chef, Mr..
A. A. Edmunds Clearing the same
initials of Mr.. Glover but somewhat
different in statue) to come over
and superintend the serving of the
scue" for him. Mr.. Edmunds very
cheerfully complied with this request
of his old Edgefield friend. Nearly
a dozen other Edgefield men were
invited by Mr.. Glover but some were
prevented from attending. Those
present besides Mr.. Edmunds were
Hon. M. P. Wells, Mr.. Barnwell
Jones and the writer. The host greet
ed us with true Edgefield whole
hearted cordiality on setting foot on
North's soil, making US feel at home
and altogether at ease among the
good people of that goodly town.
Being amid a new environment,
the Warldorf Astoria chef was a lit
tie late getting on the job, conse-
quently the feast was not served I'M
til about two o'clock in a shady grove
about a mile south of the town, the
Center Spring of North. The host
was promptly on hand to greet his
nearly 100 guests as they arrived. A
large rectangular table was arranged
with seats enough for all, enabling
those who partook of the feast to be
as comfortably seated as if they
were in their own dining-room. A
more complete menu we W. saw
at a barbecue, and all prepared and
seasoned to the kings taste. Besides
beef, pork and mutton, both roasted
