(By Staff Correspondent.l
Glover, October 13.-The congrega-
tion of the First Presbyterian church
of Clover has raised s4,399, sum suf-
ficient to complete the building of the
new Presbyterian church, which build
ing has been used for religious services
for several months past in an un-
completed state. At a recent congre-
gational rally the various members
responded quite literally to an appeal
for the necessary funds to finish the
house Of worship, and construction
work is to be resumed in the near fu-
ture. The basement Of the structure
since been used for preaching services
as we'll as Sunday School purposes. 1t
is understood that the furnishings in
cluding the seats will be provided by
the several ladies societies Of the
church, they haYing been busily en-
gagged in raising funds for the purpose
through various activities for long
time past. When complete the build
ing will have cost the congregation in
the neighborhood of s65,OO0 it is stated.
Construction work was begun about
two years ago and the congregation
has made a plucky fight to continue
the building project despite adverse
conditions.
Hampshire Mill Project.
It is estimated that all told there
are now about 125 men employed in
building the Hampshire Mill and the
mill village. The workmen have been
gathered from several states. Numbers
of farmers from various sections OF
South Carolina whose crop this year
was q failure have come to Glover and
found employment on the mill work.
The town is literally filled with
strangers employed either on the mill
project or other building projects go
ing on. Boarding house keepers are
doing a rushing business and Glover
merchants note an increased trade es-
pecially Saturdays, due largely to the
big pay roll that is turned loose by the
mill contractors each week. The
Hampshire Mill is to be of concrete
and steel construction and because of
the nature Of the work an unusually
large force Of workmen is being used. |
Election Next Week.
Citizens of Clover vote Oct. "a, on
the question of issuing bonds in the
sum of $65,O0O for the purpose OF
building a sewerage system and eX-
tending the water system in the town.
According to John A. Jackson, super
visor of registration there are about
25O voters who are registered to vote
in the election. If there is any oppo-
sition to the proposed sewer bond issue
it has not come to the surface; but
the indications are that it will carry
by a big majority.
Selling Many FIivvers.
Despite the alleged shortage OF the
cotton crop in this section the auto
mobile business is said to be mighty
good and numbers Of farmers VINO
were not able to buy a f1ivver when
prices reached a war peak are buying
them now This furry in flivvers, how
ever is said to be confined largely to
the second hand variety. Yesterday a
local man sold for $500 fiivver that
cost him $3.50 originally although he
had been operating it three years and
he had his eye on four other second
hand cars that he said he knew Where
to place speedily at a profit. Lots OF
folks are complaining about what the
weevil did to the crop" remarked
second hand fiivver dealer yesterday;
but they are able to buy 'em all the
same"
