Glover, Sept. ia $4,000 sewer
bond issue for a sewerage system to
extend over the town is practically
assured. Petitions which have been in
circulation for several days past
among freeholders have been signed
by the necessary number and an cleo
ton on the question will be called in
the near future. There is no doupt
but what the proposition will carry
since there is little or no opposition.
For more than two years an agitation
has been carried on in Clover having
for its object bond issue for q sewer
system and extension of the water sys-
tenn. Last year public spirited citi-
zens raised q subscription to pay an
engineer to come to Clover and make
an estimate of the cost of a sewer
system such as is needed to fill the
needs of the town. The proposition
died temporarily with the coming OF
the period of deaation, but when 1t
was revived recently it met with little
opposition.

CIover's Homicide Record.
The recently published statement
that Glover had not had a homicide
among white people in fortytwo
years until William C. FAIRIES slew
four members Of the Taylor family on
last Wednesday, was somewhat mis-
leading it appears. 1t is maintained
that from the time the first house was
built here about 1876 until 1918 there
was no homicide among whites. But
it appears from the records that in
August, 1918, Mrs. Lydia Blackwood
shot and killed her husband IN the
Glover Mill village where the homi-
eide last Wednesday occurred. Mrs.
Blackwood was adjudged insane and
it is said that she is now in the state
hospital for the insane at Columbia.
She had q small baby when she killed
her husband and it is said that this
infant is now an inmate Of South
Carolina orphanage.
Hampshire Mill Construction.
Construction work on the Hampshire
Mill is progressing steadily, the con-
tractors having =. rye force of men
at work there. 1t is said that some
difficulty is now being encountered in
obtaining the necessary building sup
plies due to the rail tie up.
Gins Are Busy.
Since the first bale of cotton was
sold on this market OH September 2,
the two Glover ginneries and several
of those in the surrounding country
have been quite busy. Most Of the
new cotton that has been Sinned here
has been sold Immediately, it Is said,
there being little tendency evidenced
SD far to hold the cotton for higher
prices.
