Metropolis OF Northern YORK Sou"'y'
.(By Staff Correspondent)
Glover June 22-People continue
coming to Glover with a view to locati
ing here permanently, now that new
spinning mill is to be built and the
town is on a boom generally. A well
known Gastonia merchant was here
this week looking the town over with
a view to establishing branch OF his
dry goods business here. Information
is that Nivens Brothers, we'll known
grocers of Yorkyille, will establish
large grocery store here near the new
Hampshire mill. James a. Page, CASH
ier of the Bank of Glover, remarked
Wednesday that he expected to see
quite an extensive building program
inaugurated in Glover, commencing
within the next thirty days. The town
is greatly in need of business houses,
and there is little to attract people
from other towns until there Is some
construction of buildings for business
purposes. A well known Greek con-
fectioner has been here looking over
the town with a view to opening
candy kitchen, and there IS talk Oh
man who has had many years expert
ence in. the hardware business coming
here to open up store. Real estate
agents say that they have recently had
a number. of inquiries relative to bus
mess properties here and business in
that line is beginning to look up.
; May Lose Route.
Information obtained here is that all
bids submitted to carry the mail on the
proposed new star route between Gas
tonia and Yorkville have been reject.
ed because they were considered 100
high by the government and Glover
people are Just n little fearful that the
star route which has been effective be-
tween Gastonia and Glover since early
in April may be lost. Clyde Farris,
who has the contract to carry the mail
between Gastonia and Glover, took the
Job for $45 a month. Now the post
office department is unwilling to pay
more than $500 a year for the entire
route from Gastonia to Yorkville,
which really means that they Will pay
only $3.50 for carrying the mail from
Glover to Yorkville, distance OF ten
miles. OF course nobody will take the
route for that sum and those who are
experienced with automobiles and their
upkeep, say that nobody could AFFORD
to carry it six days week from Gas
tonia to Yorkville, a distance of twen-
ty-two miles for 5000. So there is lit
tie probability that the star route ser.
vice will be inaugurated between Clo-
yer and Yorkville by July 1 and there
is strong probability that the Clover
rGastonia end will also be discontinued
as the upshot Of it all.
