WHY BRooKHART WON.
MaI-Administration of Federal Reserve
Administration.

Smith w. Brookhart, who won the
Republican senatorial nomination in
Iowa, Is referred TO in the press as a
radical. But Mr.. Brookhart says that
his platform would win in any state
for almost any candidate. And what
was the big feature Of that platform,
which won for Brookhart thousands of
votes? We quote from his own state
ment, issued after his nomination, in
which he tells why he won and what
he stood for:
Second. The arbitrary restriction
OF agricultural credit in 1920 by the
Federal Reserve banks was a credit or
money strike that did the farmers more
damage than all the industrial strikes
in the history of the country. Farm
products were debated nearly $S,0O0,-
O00, 900 and over half n billion in Iowa
alone. The whole credit system, in
cluding the Federal Reserve banks, is
built upon the foundation of deposits.
The depositors are entitled to control
it. The farmers furnish 40 per cent of
the primary deposits, the laboring pco-
pie 25 per cent. They are entitled to
like proportion of the Federal Re-
serve board"
II is not pertinent to discuss now
whether the solution so suggested for
mal-administration of the Federal Re-
serve system is wise or unwisc. In
nine cases out of ten, it is sheer mad
ness to throw a great economic prob
lem into the arena of politics. The
money question is being tossed into
that arena by the wcll-financed and
persistent efforts of certain banking
influences, more or less under the dom
ination of Governor Harding, to bring
about the denomination of that gentle
man by President Harding.
If the president ignores the deep re-
sentiment of the great producing clc-
mcntS OF the nation, If he stamps with
approval the incompetence Of Govern
or Harding by remaining him, then will
there he many Brookharts in the next
senate, more in the lower chamber and
one in the White House itself.
There is but one way in which to
keep the Federal Reserve system out
of politics and that is to have it com
pctcntly administered; it cannot be Sc
administered, the record shows, under
tho direction of w. p c. Harding, and
the producing classes of the country
are showing by their votes rs in Iowa
how they view the situation.-Manu-
fGcturcrS Record.

war he represented York district, s.
c., several years in the legislature.
He moved to Kentucky in 1906 and
vas found dead one day in his field
with marks of violence on his body.
His son Alexander Love, built the
second residence in Yorkvillc.
Robert, another son, was a soldier
in the revolutionary war. and it is re-
lated that after the war that he was
so anxious to see his Alliance that ne

a part of a night, and from this over
exertion took down with q fever and
died suddenly. His Alliance, Margaret
Mcdowell, afterwards married his
brother William They moved to Mis-
sissippi in 1906 where he died.
Two sons and two sons s-in-lnw of
Alexander Love rose to prominence
in the revolutionary war, taking ac-
tive parts in fighting the British troops
and suppressing the bands of Tories
that infested the country. This is
not strange, as no doubt they had
heard around the home firesides OF
their parents the rehearsal of the
cruelties inflicted on their ancestors
who were driven from Scotland and
Ireland during the reign of Charles II
and James III, and left to seek 9, home
in the wilds of America where they
might enjoy that civil and religious
liberty they never could in their ma
tive land. These pilgrims taught their
children TO fear God, study the Bible,
memorize the shorter catechism and
hate tyrants and, wherever they To-
Gated they implanted these teachings.
Alexander Love, himself ruling eld-
er in Bethesda Presbyterian church,
has continually had one of his lineal
defendants on the eldership of this
church until the present day. All the
Loves, Moores, and Lindsays in and
around McConnellsville and Guthries-
vile are his direct offspring.
Alexander Love died March 1884
and was buried in Bethesda cemetery
adjoining the old church of that name,
near the present village of Guthries-
vile, where he had been ruling

section. His grave is marked by a
marble slab which bears the follow
ing inscription: Alexander Love died

- Governor Harvey, Comptroller
General Duncan and Attorney General
Wolfe on Monday received copies of
the Berkeley county grandjury pre-
sentiment in which the body reports
that Sheriff W. NJ. Dennis has failed
to turn over the county tax money
collected on 1920 executions. The
grandjury says, I'VE find that the
sheriff has collected approximately
$5,7O0 on account for tax executions
for 1920. We called upon the sheriff
to make these collections and he pro-
duced evidence to show that he had
paid the county treasurer Sill and the
Peoples bank gave us a certificate
showing that the sheriff had to his
credit in said bank $2,261.21, leaving
deficiency of approximately S3,3SS.79
We requested that he make payment
at once to the county treasurer that his
balance in bank showed, which he re-
fused to do. We recommend that the
necessary steps he taken to require
the sheriff to pay over all moneys due
the county by him."

Growth Was Slow.

Glover grew very slowly at first. Aft
er some time New Centre Presbyterian
church was abandoned and the Pres
byterians built the little Presbyterian
church on Kings Mountain street that
has recently given place to a new
church building that will cost when
completed around $4,000. The con-
gregation was small and money was
scarce in those early days, but the con-
gregation managed to raise SO from
Sunday to Sunday to pay Presbyte-
rian minister from some other town to
preach. There were lots of Sundays,
however, when there was no preaching
because well, Glover people can
raise thousand dollars now where
they could raise ten dollars in those
days.

Troubles With Government.

department." remarked VI. L. Smith

general manager of the Hawthorn
mills at Glover, to two men whom he
met in the postoffice the other day. Il
have certainly had my troubles In
meeting government requirements rel
ative to income taxes and other taxes
since the war;"
"Oh the government is necessary
evil" remarked one of the men to
whom Mr.. Smith was talking and the
latter agreed that the government was
source of annoyance to people. Il
am always more or less worried" Mr..
Smith, went on to say, lest l fail to
meet some requirement relative to
taxes and there are so many of them
that it Is real Job.
II had a rather unusual experience
here some time ago. A man who said
that he worked for the revenue de-
partment for years came to my office
and said that there were many in
stances where the government charg-
cd both individuals and corporations
too much revenue. He asked to see
the tax returns of the Hawthorn Mill
for 1920 and after looking them
over he remarked that we had paid the
government $4,000 too much taxes. He
offered to get a rebate on basis of 25
per cent. of what he collected. That
seemed fair enough and l told him to
go to it. In few days he sent me
certain papers to sign. l got to think
ing about the matter then and decided
not to go any further with it, fearing
that l would get into some future
trouble on account Of it. l never have
heard of the government paying back
any taxes where they had made an
overcharge. And as for myself the
least l have to do with the government
the better"

Sees Bright Future.

Because Of his long residence here,
Mr.. Knox can tell many interesting
historical incidents relative to Clover's
struggle for a place in the sun. Ac-
cording to him there have been times
when it appeared that the town would
never grow and the growth at other
times has been very slow; but like
many of the other older citizens he has
never lost faith. Speaking from an eX-
pcrience that dates back to the birth
of Glover and before he now sees
ahead of the town a prospect FOR
growth and rapid progress far greater
than anything that 1t has known in the
46 years it has been town. People
will want to come here now," he said
the other day, "if people will treat
them right. They will come if those
who have building lots for sale and
other property will sell them at rea-
sonablc price. 1t takes cooperation
and a spirit of liberality on the part of
its people to make a village town
and a town a city"

Why it Became Glover.


In talking with Mr.. John Knox, the
oldest resident of Glover the other
day with d view to getting information
about the history Of that thriving
town, it turned out that about the only
thing that he did not know about the
place was how it got its name. He
said that he did not know, and he did
not know anybody that did. Just a
little puzzled over the matter l men
toned it to the editor of The Yorkville
Enquirer, and he gave me this:
"Ycs 1 can tell you how Clever came
by that name. The name was selected
by the late Capt. L. M. Grist and Major
Miles Smith, the grandfather Of M. L.,
]. Meek, w. p. and John NJ. Smith, of
Glover. There was nothing especially
sentimental or romantic about the
matter, and neither was there any
local suggestion or anything Of that
kind not even clover patch.
Because of his interest in facilitat-
ing the circulation of The YorkvIlle
Enquirer, Capt. Grist was naturally on
the alert in the establishment of post
offices wherever there was reason
able excuse for such establishment. In
this he had but followed in the foot
steps of his father before him and be-
cause of his experience and familiarity
with the procedure, wherever a neigh
borhood wanted anything in this line,
those interested naturally came to him.
"Tke principal requirements for the
establishment of postoffice were the
same then as now: First reasonable
number of people to be accommodated
with mail facilities; I'd, convenience OF
access; Sd, competent person willing
TO serve as postmaster; 4th, suitable
name.
"As to name, the regulations re-
quired first that it be different from
any other postofflcc in the state and
second that it contain as few syllables
as possible.
There are not as many postoffices
now as there used to be, many OF
them having become unnecessary be-
cause of the r. +. ID. routes; but If
you will take an old postal guide of
South Carolina and undertake to think
up a suitable name for Il postoffice
that was not already in use, YOU would
find that you have quite task.
"Wcll, that was the task that con-
frontcd Maj. Smith and Capt. Grist
There is no reason to think that either
of them ever forcsaw what the town
might become some day, or they might
have puzzled over a more suitable
name with a less fortunate conclusion,
Anyhow they finally selected Glover, as
later for the same reason Filbcrt was
selected as the name Of the next post
office to the SOUTH

Torchlight Parade.
(By a Staff Correspondent

While Mr. Knox was not living in
Glover in 1876, the year the Marrow
Gauge" railroad reached Glover and a
station was built there, he was in Clo-
YER the day that the station was open
cd for business and he remembers well
the torthlight parade that was held in
celebration Of the event. General Wade
Hampton was engaged in his famous
red shirt campaign against Carpetbag
domination about that time and all the
young men and older men too, We're
wearing rcd shirts and whoopng it up
for Hampton. They had a double cell
cbration that night in honor Of the
coming Of the railroad and in honor of
General Hampton and the whole conn
tryside that night resounded. with the

First School House.

The first school house at Glover was
a little one-room affair and the first
teacher was the late Joshua d. Gwinn,
who for many years was postmaster at
Glover. Mr.. Gwinn, who was one OF
the first citizens, originally spelled his
name "Gwin," just one "n." When
he was commissioned postmaster how
ever, the clerk who wrote out his COM
mission wrote it with two MS, and as
it would take lots of correspondence
and delay to correct it, Mr.. Gwinn left
it that way until his death.
The first intendent or mayor was the
late Joseph Bell. Mr.. Knox was one OF
the first aldermen. Another was DR.. 4.
w. Pressly, now of Greenville but for
many years resident of Glover. If
there are any others of the first coun-
Gil living, Mr.. Knox does not recall
The town was originally chartered
with the understanding that barroom
or saloon would not be allowed. And

Pretty Bad for Drunks.
But in it's early days as town Clo-
yer was mighty bad about drunk men,
according to Mr. Knox, and that hap
pened in this way: Along the South
Carolina North Carolina line, only a
few miles north Of Glover, there were
many barrooms forty years ago. Many
of these saloons or liquor shops were
built right on the line portion of the
house in each state. If North Caro-
lima officers got after the barkeeper, he
would simply move over into South
Carolina and vice versa. So lots OF
folks from this section would go up to
the line to get their liquor. 1t was an
hours drive or more from Glover to the
saloons. By the time man got MS
liquor and got back as far as Glover
he'd be feeling rather hilarious and the
policeman or men," most often the
plural was necessary, had their hands

AUTO DRIVER MUST
TAKE: CARE IN CITY
Law Regulates Traffic in Streets fer
the Protection of the
Public.

Special provision is made by law
for the regulation of automobile
traffic In cities and every city has its
own additional regulations, but the
automobile driver should also exer-
else his judgment aud observe what
ever other rules seem advisable, Secre-
tary OF State Louis l.. Emmerson de-
clares.
Under the law, an automobile must
not approach closer than ten feet be-
hind a street car which is loading or
unloading passengers he continued.
In some cities where there are safety
zones. autos are allowed to pass if
they do so slowly. The driver should
remember that persons alighting from
a trolley car are sometimes bewildered
and do not know which way to go.
TOO much reliance should not be
placed In the use of the automobile
horn In city streets. The machine
should be operated at a speed which
permits stopping within few feet
in case pedestrians do not heed the
signal and walk In front of the car.
The driver should remember that
some people are deaf aad that others
are naturally Needless. A group OF
persons In the middle of the street,
startled by the sound of the horn,
may scatter in opposite directions
and an immediate stop by the auto
mobile Is the only way in which an
accident can be avoided. Signs indicat-
ing the proximity Of a school build
Ing should always be needed by the
driver in order to avoid striking chill
dren when they run into the street in
play"
