Glover, Aug. 17.-Preliminary con-
struction work on the Hampshire
Spinning Mill Of Glover to occupy a
site in the southern section Of Glover,
near the Hawthorn Mill, was gotten
under way today when dirt for the
foundation was broken. Construction
of this new mill which is to be
equipped with 10000 spindles and
possibly more means a big thing for
Clover at this time and will result in
the turning loose of weekly pay roll
that is badly needed by lethargic busi-
ness just at this time. 1t Is under
stood that the Castor Construction
Company which has the contract for
erecting the Hampshire will employ a
large force Of men here and other
| large forces will be employed by sub
contractors Much sand will be need
ed which it is understood will be taken
from neighboring beds, a large rock
crusher will be installed to crush the
necessary rock and for several months
to come the southern end of town Will
present a scene of hustle and activity.
The Minter Homes Corporation Of
GreenvilIe, which has the contract to
build several score houses for the VIII
lage of the new cotton mill is proceed
ing rapidly with it's work and already
construction of these houses has
reached such stage as to give one some
conception Of it's appearance. All or
the houses which vary in size from
three to six rooms each and possibly
few larger are being built of the best
material and are of most attractive
design. The brick community house
which will serve the Hawthorn and
Hampshire Mills is also assuming such
proportions as to give assurance that
it will not be a great while before it
will be ready for use.
County Candidates Come Saturday.
County Candidates have the oppor-
tunity Of meeting with and speaking to
the voters of Clover and community on
| Saturday. DR.. |. j. Campbell or CO
yer, state Democratic executive com"
mitteeman for York county said we'd
nesday that the speaking would not ne
held until Saturday afternoon begin
ming about 1880. Many Of the voters
are employed in the mills on Saturday
morning and it is planned to postpone
the speaking bee until Saturday after
noon in order that these may be pres
ent if they SO desire. AS a general,
thing there are many people on Glover
streets on Saturday afternoons and 1t
would not be surprising If the candl-
dates here Saturday don't have the
opportunity to greet the largest num-
her of voters that they have seen DUR
ing any single day of the county cam
paign. 1t had not been decided yester-
day whether the meeting will be held
indoors or out but the probability is
that the meeting will be held in the
open air

st. Paul and Kings Mountain Chapel

School is to open for the fall session
early in September and practically
everything is in readiness for the

further fact that number of children
from without the district are contem!
plating coming to Clover to school.
Hard on "Fat" Man. '.r
Benefit baseball games between
Fats" and Leans" may furnish con-
siderable amusement to spectators and
De beneficial to depleted civic treas
uries but they are mighty hard on un-
practiced players especially If those
players are inclined to be fat, as Mr..
Jas. A. Page will testify. Mr. Page re-
Gently played for the Fats" in
couple OF benefit F'at-Lean games and
although he shook a wicked "hoof' as
he cavorted around the second sack
as did Johnny Evers in his prime, the
result was that he was so bruised and
battered being unaccustomed to it, that
he is still walking with limp and is
suffering many aches.
