most as large. One teacher is not
enough for sixty-five pupils, hence the
need for more teachers. According to
Superintendent Sam Reid there are a
great number Of boys and girls in Clo-
yer school this year between the ages
of 10 and II years, most unusual
number Of that age, and many Of them

Mule Fell In Well.
A mule, the property of Mr.. W. E.
Adams Of Clover, met death in rath-
er peculiar manner recently. There is
discarded well in the Adams yard,
the mouth of the we'll being covered
over by boards. The mule, in walking
about the premises accidently stepped
upon the boards, which gave way un-
der it's weight and hurled it to the bot
tom of the shaft. Efforts to get the
mule out of the we'll proved futile, so
the owner got permission from the
town authorities to fill in the well,
mule and all. The unfortunate animal
of course was already dead from ex-
haustion. While the mule had been
good and faithful servant, nobody
had any idea it would occupy q grave
on the premises until after it had fallen
in the old we'll.
"Follies" Appear.
"The Tarheel Follies of 1922" a min
strel troupe, composed Of local talent
of Kings Mountain, n. c., under the
direction Of Fred Rudisill, who organ
lied similar minstrel here several
months ago, gave performance in the
local opera house Wednesday night.
Quite a number of Glover people saw
the entertainment and were we'll pleas
ed with the performance. The young
people of Kings Mountain taking part
came down Wednesday evening by au-
tomobile returning the same night,
Sand Pump Working.
Five thousand yards of sand for use
in construction of the Hampshire mill
here, are being taken from the bed OF
Allison creek on the Lawrence farm,
about a mile southwest Of here, big
sand pump being the means used to
get the sand from the creek bed up to
point where it can be hauled away.
]. J. Nivens has the contract for haul
ing the sand and Robert Lawrence and
others are operating the pump. The
job of pumping and hauling the sand
will require several months time. So
far about $500 yards have been taken
out. Excavation of the sand is hav-
ing a wholesome effect on the creek,
according to Mr.. Lawrence, in that the
creek bed is being considerably deep
ened.
Mrs. Jackson Improving.
Mrs. jamie Parrot Jackson, wife of
Mr.. T. +. Jackson of Clover, who broke
her right hip at her home here last
Friday, when she fell down the back
steps of her residence, is recovering as
rapidly as could be expected at Gas
tonia hospital, where she was carried
soon after the accident. 1t is feared,
however, that the lady will never be
able to walk again without the aid Of
crutches.

who returned Saturday night from a
hunting and fishing trip into Dorches-
ter county, didn't have as much luck
as they had hoped to have. In fact,
they got only one deer, n big buck,
which fell to the gun of Mr.. Temple
ton. 1t was the first that he had ever
killed and according to the other men,
bers of the party when the deer ap-
preached his stand he bided his time
until the buck came within proper dis
tance and then let him have it. The
water in the streams was too high for
good fishing according to Pudsill, and
