(By Staff Correspondent)
Glover, June 19.LOut of an esti-
mated possible of 500, so far only
twelve women have enrolled here TO
vote in the Democratic primary cleo
ton in August. about $50 men nave
registered. That small percentage OF
women so far enrolled should not be
taken as an indication that they are
pot going to enroll. They just haYent
decided to do it yet, to<cite the langu-
age of a Glover politician who, was
talking about it the other day. Along
in July about the time that candidates
for state offices get to Singing mud In
characteristic fashion and the politlcai
atmosphere becomes heated the men OF
Glover will begin enrolling in large
numbers and in many, instances they
will bring their women along with
them. Now since the women are al
lowed to participate in the primary II
Is stated that the total enrolment there
can easily reach 1000 and there are
numbers who are quite confident that
it will reach that figure.
Stacy Has Ripe Tomatoes.
Star NJ Stacy, well known farmer
living near Glover, who for several
years past has had quito a wide repu-
tation as a gardener and truck grower
had ripe tomatoes from his garden last
Saturday. In past years Mr. Stacy has
grown bushels and bushels Of tomatoes
which he sold in Glover, Gastonia,
Yorkyille and other towns at fancy
prices; but he has not gone in Tor
tomatoes on q very extensive scale this
wear because there is now so much
that it is not worth while.
There are probably more truck growers
around. Glover than any other small
town in the Piedmont section. They
sell vegetables and other oduce In
Rock Hill Kings Mountain, Gastonia,
Charlotte and other towns and there
are so many Of them that their pro-
duce has to go begging almost. Con-
seauently Mr.. Stacy quit tomatoes al
though he raised hundreds of plants
this year and sold them at good
profit.
Crops Looking Good.
Farmers OF the community say that
although they had a late start this
year and have worked under very un-
favorable conditions, nevertheless the
crops have been making rapid growth
the past threeeweeks and both cotton
and corn are in satisfactory state.
There has been no general invasion OF
the boil weevil on cotton lands in this
section as yet. Several farmers have
found an insect on their crops which
they believe is the boil weevil; but the
insect is not nearly so numerous In
this northern section Of York county
as in the western section and the
farmers are not much worried about 1t.
Members of the Glover Peanut
Growers Association who planted
about $50 bushels Of peanuts this
spring largely by way of experiment
report that the peanuts are coming
along fine. While the corn crop is a
little short compared with the acreage
of last year there are members of
farmers who expect to plant a good
deal of corn even yet. The sweet po-
tato acreage for this year is consider
ably increased over last year. it is said.
Glover Made Bats.
Many OF the members Of the Haw-
thorn Mill baseball team which is go
ing mighty good so far this year are
using baseball bats made in Glover
Judging from the number of safe hits
they are cracking out, the bats are all
O. k: and most of the players are OF
the opinion that they are far superior
to the average club that can be pur-
chased from a sporting goods house
The bats are being made by Mr.. w. L..
Hoguc, machinist at the Hawthorn
Mill from second growth ashe secured
from Representative L. w. Pursle9
and others. Mr.. Hogue who is not
ONLY a first clas wood worker but an
enthusiastic baseball bug, knows no"
to make a baseball bat according 10
the particular notion of any indivdual
PLAYER and the demand for Glover
made bats is growing.
Belmont Was Easy.
The Hawthorn Mill team of Clover
had no difficulty in winning from the
Belmont, n. c. team in game Oh
baseball on Hawthorn Field Saturday
afternoon. The game was a long
drawn out affair-so long that 1t grew
mono, onous. The final score was Is
to G, the Glover team taking the lead
early in the game and keeping 1t until
the last. Johnny Walker, pitching Tor
Glover had the visitors at his mercy
with the exception of a couple or pad
innings. In addition to- his pitching
Walker starred with the stick, getting
a homer and couple of two baggers'
Long and Mauncy, Belmont hurlers
were knocked all over the lot, the
former giving ii up in disgust after
pitching a few frames. Batteries:
