Glover, January 16.-F'ifteen srninu-
tes longer and the citizens OF Clover
school district would have lost their
handsome new school building, not YET
quite completed, by fire Friday after
noon. Flames which originated from
Some defect in the heating plant burst /
out and had it not been for the fact
that some of. the workmen on the
building were near, the Lew structure
would have soon been past help. AS II
happened the damage was very slight.
VIII Hold up Work.
II looks now that 1t Is going to be
necessary to hold up work on the new
First Presbyterian church building
within the next few weeks because of
lack of funds. Workmen are, now en-
gagged in putting doors and windows
in the new church building and the
understanding Is that paid subscrip- 5
tions in the hands Of the treasurer
are sufficient to pay for that but that
is all. Because of the general financial
stringency 1t is said that the. congre-
CATION has been rather slow of late in
coming across with subscriptions for
the new building. 1t Is beginning to
look like large brick church .buildr
ing only about half completed is go
ing to adorn Kings Mountain street
for some time to come.
