| Clover, June 29.-Robert T.. Farris,
we'll known farmer living In the
Henry's Knob section, short distance
west of here Is one farmer who does
not fear the coming Of the boil weevn
and the consequences OF his coming.
| Mr.. Farris has abandoned the culti-
walton of cotton for truck this year
and lie is highly pleased with the
success he has had in truck farming
so far. He has already sold the crop
| from an acre of beans and an acre OF
cabbage and his revenue from these
two acres together with that derived
from small patches OF other vegetables
has been about 5000 so far. The beans
brought him 5000 and he stands a
good chance of getting a second crop
| from the beans. He has an acre In
tomatoes just ripening now and he Is
| expecting those tomatoes TO yield more
revenue than either the cabbage or
the beans. However the results OBJ
tanned remain to be seen. On We'd
nesday, however, he gathered seventy
pounds of tomatoes from a few vines
and he had no trouble placing these
with Clover merchants at 10 cents a
pound. Had he sold them from house
to house he would no doubt have re-
ceived twice that amount since fresh
tomatoes are, selling here and at other
towns nearby at 20 cents a pound,
| He has 5000 tomato plants set out on
his acre. They are all doing well and
he expects to be able to supply or to
partially supply a number of towns in
this section later on. Mr.. Farris did
not plant n single acre in cotton this
year and IL his vegetables "pan OUT
in the future anything like they have
in the past, he has little idea that he
will ever labor and worry with cotton
again.

Enrolment Growing.
Enrolment of voters to participate
in the Democratic primary in August
has grown to 800, it was stated by a
member of the enrolment committees
yesterday. OF this number about so
are women and most of these have
enrolled only after urgent persuasion
on the part of their male relatives and
| friends. There are several hundred
women in Glover eligible to enroll
mcnt, but it is doubtful If the major
ity of them do enroll although it is
stated here that every effort will be
made TO get them to do so.
Want 200 Gallons a Minute. H
Glover gets its water supply from
a system Of deep wells and the town
owns its own we'll digging outfit.
The present capacity is about 125 gall
Ions a mipute and work is now going
on in sinking an additional we'll which
will bring it up to $50 gallons a min
ute, it is expected. However, It is feit
that the town needs a flow of at least
200 gallons Il minute and there will be
no let up in the we'll boring pro-
gram until this flow is obtained.
Glover people of course believe that
they have the best water anywhere.
Even little children are convinced of
IT. \ Glover man took his little son
with him to Rock Hill the other day
and the child asked for a drink Of
water while in the metropolis of the
county Of York. He had no more than
