(By Staff Correspondent.)
Clover September 29--Work Of in
stalling 5000 new spindles in the Bowl
ing Green Spinning Mills at Bowling
Green, three miles north of here will
be completed within the next thirty
days it was announced today. Con-
tractors are making good progress in
the building Of an addition to the mill
2O0X60 feet and also ten new houses
for operatives. The Southern Power
Company promises to have the new
mill equipped to run by electricity not
later than October 10 and a new water
system for the mill and the village is
now being worked out. The water is
to be supplied by well ga feet deep
which is to give a flow Of thirty gal
Ions a minute. 1t is proposed to employ
around 100 operatives in the recon-
structed spinning mill. Robert Del
linger of Statesville, N c., who has
recently been employed as superintend-
ent of the MILL takes up his duties
within a few days. The Bowling
Green Mill will manufacture yarns for
hosiery and underwear. c. n. AleXan-
der of Glover is general manager.
Town Without Lights.
A heavy electrical storm that ac-
COMMANDED a hard rain here Monday
night knocked the electric lighting
system out of commission and caused
a big transformer at the Hawthorn
mill to blow out" The town was in
darkness Monday night and the use of
power was curtailed Tuesday while the
damage was being repaired.
Logs for Furniture.
At least a part of 10000 feet of
poplar logs being shipped out of this
community to Lenoir, N. c., for furni-
ture manufacture will be received back
here in manufactured form one of
these days. The logs are being cut and
shipped by Frank Jackson and Arthur
Barnett, we'll known farmers OF the
Bethel section. Thousands Of feet OF
poplar logs have been cut in this
section in the past few years and
shipped to North Carolina furniture
mills according to Mr.. Jackson and
the supply of this timber is becoming
rather scarce and hard to get out OF
the gulleys where most Of it is found
and cut.
Partridges Survive.
Four partridges which Gettys Nc
Carter, we'll known farmer living near
Glover winged" while out hunting
during the bird season last year, have
survived Imprisonment Of months and
are thriving in an enclosure in the yard
at Mr.. McCarter's home. At different
times during the hunting season last
year Mr. McCarter winged" seven
partridges and carried them home.
Three have died; but the others are
doing nicely. While the female birds
laid eggs during the spring and
summer they were not successful in
Matching broods and therefore there
has been no increase in the partridge
population in the McCarter back yard.
The full grown partridges which give
every indication that they have not
for moment forgotten the call of
the wild which they are unable to obey
because of the wire enclosure, have
been an object of interest to the
friends and neighbors of the captor.
Rev. and Mrs. BerryhiII Leave.
Rev. j. E. Berryhill, for nearly four
years pastor of the First Presbyterian
church of Glover left Tuesday after
noon with Mrs. Berryhill for their new
home with the Union congregation in
CASTOR county, n. c.
Party for Young Folks.
Glover teachers and several visitors
in town were honor guests at a get
together meeting of young people of
Glover held at Flat Rock, a favorite
picnic spot near town on Tuesday
evening. There were a large number
of young people out for the party and
the occasion was one which was
thoroughly enjoyed by all the partici-
pants. Tempting refreshments were
served during the evening.
Mcconnell in Town.
Thomas Mcconnell of Northampton,
Mass, president of the Hampton Com
pany and largely interested in the
Hawthorn and Hampshire Mills OF
Clover was in town this week conferr-
ing with local officials relative to the
textile industries here in which he is
interested.
May Gin Half Crop.
Information is that the two Glover
ginneries may gin half as much cotton
here this fall and winter as they did
last year. Ordinarily ginnirgs at Clo-
yer run around $500 bales and it is
rather doubtful if half that figure is
reached this time. SO far, howewver,
daily ginnings have been keeping pretty
we'll up with the same dates last year.
But it appears that the crop is being
picked much more rapidly and ginhed
much faster than is ordinarily the case.
