Hall Spencer and Martin Less
lie, prominent citizens of the Ca
tawba Junction section and mem
bers of the board of trustees OF
the school at Catawba Junction,
engaged in rather bloody fist
fight at the junction Monday af-
tcrnoon. 1t is said there has been
considerable trouble in the school
at Catawba junction recently and
that the fight between the two
trustees Monday afternoon grew
out of a disagreement regarding
the conduct of the school.
Catfish and in fact any kind of
fish caught in the Catawba and
creeks nearby bring a good price
in Glover and are much in de-
mand there. Tom Dooling, well
known farmer and fisherman liv-
ing near the Catawba, brought
about IL pounds of catfish to Clo-
yer Saturday morning and he had
no trouble in selling them at 20
cents the pound. That is consid-
cred an unusually high price at
this time and a number of peo-
pie living along the river are max
ing pretty good thing Of it just
now bringing the surplus fish they
catch to the Glover market.
Rock Hills new ordinance
! against Sunday selling was put in
effect last Sunday and the city
was closed as tight as drum.
Drug stores We're allowed to open
for a short time Sunday morning
and Sunday afternoon for the sale
OF medicines only. Sale of cigar
cites, cigars and soft drinks was
tabOoed as was the sale of gasO-
line. Sale of newspapers was al
lowed until 10 a. m. There were
some who claimed that there was
an increase in church attendance
by reason of the fact that many
OF those who had been accustOm-
ed to loafing i'll places that here
tofore remained open OIL Sunday
had no other place to go.
Every building in the town of
Great Falls is the property of the
Southern Power company ard the
Republic Mills company. The two
cotton mills, which are among
the largest in the State, manufac-
ture white goods. Workers have
not been worried on account Of
poor business in the textile trade.
Both plants are running now day
and night and there has never
been a rumOr Of a probable suspen-
sion Of work. Both mills are mod
els in textile plant construction
and everything possible is done
for the comfort and convenience
OF the workers. The mills employ
community nurse, a physician,
teachers, school buildings-every-
thing necessary to employees.
Rock Hill and Fort Mill have
done the right thing in electing
some women delegates to the
county convention. The logic of
the situation is clear. The right
to vote carries with it the duty TO
vote, and since it is now the duty
of the women to vote it is we'll
that they should have a working
knowledge Of how the political
machinery is operated. The busi-
ness Of the county convention this
year will be purely of q routine
nature so far as can be judged
