Glover, July 27.--Looking famished
and hungry, gaunt and emaciated, the
first carload Of sheep ever shipped to
Glover arrived here Wednesday. They
were consigned to Messrs. John NJ.
Ford and A. C. Barnett of Bethel
township and soon after their arrival,
p. d. Hopper's automobile truck was
commissioned to carry the flock-1t)
in all-down into the pasture land in
Bethel township where they will he
fattened prior to being sold for mutton.
The sheep were shipped from Conway,
Horny county, S. c., their former own
er desiring to sell them because Of the
passing of the free range law in that
county. The flock was six days in
transit from Conway and judging from
their appearance when they reached
Clover, little or no trouble had been
gone to by the railroad people in fur
them with food and drink.
Two died in transit. The sheep were
shipped in an ordinary box car, pro-
vided temporarily with an upper floor,
half of them travelling in the top floor
and the others on the bottom floor.
The car Of sheep attracted much at
tention from Glover people and there
were large numbers of people who
came around the car to watch them
being unloaded. 1t Is the intention Of
the owners to sell most of the sheep
for mutton, although it is likely that
few will be kept for breeding purposes.
Mutton is said to be much in demand
in Gastonia and Charlotte especially,
and the owners of the flock expect to
sell good many of them at those two
markets.
Stevenson a Visitor.
Congressman w. F. Stevenson was a
visitor in Glover on Wednesday, hav-
ing come up for a few hours to mix
with the folks. 1t was his first visit to
Glover in quite a long time and he
found much pleasure in meeting his
many friends and acquaintances here.
Mr.. Stevenson was one Of the interest
ed spectators in attendance upon
the baseball game between the Fats"
and Leans" in Glover, Wednesday
afternoon.
Enrolment Ran High.
Clover's enrolment for the primary
election in August reached O total of
5SS when the books closed on July %.
This exceeded the expectations Of local
people, since nobody seemed to have
any idea that it would go beyond 500
and some doubt had been expressed
that it would reach that figure. The
book shows that a total of 1876 women
of Glover and vicinity signed the club
rolls.
Beamguard for House.
A political announcement of consid-
cradle interest, which came this week
is that Of former State Senator James
E. Beamguard as a candidate for the
house of representatives. 1t had been
talked for some time hat friends of
ex-senator Beamguard lad been urg-
ing him to enter the race for the
house, but not until Wednesday did he
finally make up his mind to throw his
hat into the ring. Senator Beamguard
is one of the best known public men In
York county. He represented York
county in the senate for eight years,
declining three years ago to seek re-
election. Prior to being elected to the
senate he served in the house of rep
resentatives from York county. He is
well known not only throughout the
county, but the state, and his friends
are confident that he will prove a for
midabie candidate for the house now
that he has expressed his willingness
TO come back. For some time past
Senator Beamguard has been devoting
his time wholly to his farming inter-
ests.
Fats" and Leans" Play Ball.
The Fats" rolled all over the
Leans" by n score of "a to II, in
benefit baseball game for the Glover
School Improvement association here
afternoon at Hawthorn
Park. There was q big crowd of Clo-
yer baseball fans and fannettes out
for the game, which furnished much
for them. Big Dee Ford
Glover High school lad of about II
years, who weighs considerably over
200, pitched the game for the Fats"
and the Leans" couldn't do q thing
with his rolly-polly delivery. It's true
Lester Parrish, catcher for the
Leans" did get home run off his
delivery, but 1t was q sort of fluke
home run. Parrish knocked the ball
to the left field where it went under n
plank. Big Thad Clinton, star fielder
