Scraps and facts.
? Wide divergence as to the correctness
of the theory that pellagra was
due to a lack of protein diet, advised
by Dr. Joseph Goldberger of the
United States public health service,
marked an extended discussion last
Tuesday of Dr. Goldberger's experiments
before the annual meeting of
the Tri-State Medical association, in
session at Memphis, Tenn. Dr. Geo.
Baskerville of Winona, Miss., declared
arguments in favor of the dietary
theory "totally untenable," and asserted
that experiments conducted by
Dr. Goldberger were of too short duration.
Dr. B. H. Booth of Drew, Miss.,
contended that his experience in the
Mississippi delta was at variance with
the Goldberger theory. "I want to

pellagra sufferers, who are certainly
not too poor to buy something
to eat." Dr. Jelks declared the fly a
distributing agent of the disease.
? American Ambassador Penfleld on
Wednesday, cabled the state department
an official statement concerning
the sinking of the Italian steamship
Ancona which had been handed him
by the Austrian foreign office, apparently
before he received the department's
instructions, cabled Tuesday,
to seek the Vienna version of the
tragedy. The text of the communication
virtually is identical to that given
out in Vienna by the Austrian admiralty
and sent to this country by
wireless from Berlin. It says that the
Ancona fled at full speed when a
warning shot was fired across her
bow and it denies the allegations of
the Italian government that the steamer
was shelled after she had come to
a standstill and that other shots were
fired at life-boats and at persons
swimming in the sea. After the receipt
of the report it became known
that Secretary Lansing considered
that the state department now had in
its possession sufficient official information
to form the basis of an inquiry
of Austria-Hungary regarding its attitude
toward the conduct of submarine
warfare. The secretary indicated.

would go forward until a reply had

the cablegram directing the ambassador
to ask (or specific and detailed information
crossed in transmission the
dispatch received Wednesday.
? A tentative draft of the new government
ship purchase bill which will
be urged by the administration at the
coming session of congress was considered
last Wednesday at a conference
at the treasury department. Secretary
Redfield and Solicitor Thurman
of the department of commerce, went
over the proposed measure with Secretary
McAdoo. The draft follows the
lines suggested by Secretary McAdoo
in a recent speech outlining the purposes
of the administration as to naval
auxiliaries and the upbuilding of
the American merchant marine. Before
the measure is put in final form
to be presented to congress, it will be
laid before President Wilson for his
approval. The plan described by Mr.
McAdoo in his speech contemplated
the expenditure of $50,000,000 by a government
shipping board consisting of
the secretary of the navy, the secretary
of commerce and three other members
to be nominated by the president. The
board would be empowered to organize
a corporation, tQ subscribe to
its capital stock, and to vote the stock
purchased in elections for directors.
Through this corporation the board
would maintain shipping lines, operating
or leasing them to private concerns.
Secretary McAdoo also suggested
that the board be given authority
to reform shipping rules and regulations,
study shipping problems and
make recommendations to congress
looking toward establishment . of a
strong merchant marine.
? "Our expedition in the Balkans is
reaching a critical stage," telegraphs
the correspondent at Saloniki, Greece,
of the Paris Journal under date of
Sunday. He adds: "Notwithstanding
appeals by competent personalities our
re-inforeement8 are not anything like
the number required. Our enemies
have decided to nip in the bud at any
cost our offensive in the east and are
prepared to resort to any means to
obtain the necessary assistance. I
hope that this formula is well understood.
Serbian resistance is weakening
daily. The defenders of Babuna
pass will soon be surrounded and the
road to Prilep and Monastir will then
be thrown wide open to the Bulgarians.
The hosts of Austro-Germans
hurried southward sending detachments
ahead by forced marches on all
available routes. Do not expect to
find a second Belgium. Greece will not
hesitate to permit passage by the
enemy through her territory as she
now permits ours. We must defend
ourselves alone and unaided against
the triple attack of the Germans, Bulgarians
and Turks. The enemy's plan
is being carried out and may be reaiized
rapidly. The German fleet of
submarines in the Mediterranean has
just been quintupled. I advance nothing
whereof I am not absolutely sure.
We must be prepared for any news,
even the most unexpected and even
that which seems the craziest. We
must have re-inforcements in large
numbers at once or re-imbark while
there is vet time."
? Representative Claude Kitchin,
majority leader of the house, who opposes
the administration national defense
programme, has declared to a
constituent his belief that it will succeed
by an "overwhelming majority."
In a letter written a few days ago by
Representative Kitchin to Charles LCoon
of Wilson, N. C.. the new majority
leader says: "I shall oppose the
big army and navy programme with all
the earnestness and power I possess.
However, my fear is that the president
will push it through by an overwhelming
majority. In the first place, practically
all the Republicans will vote
for it. In the second place, although I
know that the convictions of fourfifths
of the Democrats are opposed to
it, many of them?I fear a large majority?will
fling away their convictions
on this question to please the
president and do his will, as I have
seen them do it on two or three occasions
before." Representative Kitchin
declares that the programme "at one
bound, in one year, increases our naval
appropriation more than our total
increase for the last fourteen years;
more than the increase by Germany
the whole fifteen years preceding the
European war, and more than the
combined increase of all the nations of
the world in any one year of their
history." The North Carolina congressman
asserts that "this sudden,
radical and stupendous move for war
preparation is going to shock the civilized
world, and, whatever be the outcome
of the present war. will alarm the
world again into an armed camp."
? If Lloyd-George, says a London
letter, will permit the women of England
to win the war for the Allies by
solving the question of munitions,
they'll do it, they say. Two million
of them say it. Under the increasing
pressure they are bringing to bear on
the minister of munitions, he is showing
a disposition to give them a try.
They have pointed out to Lloyd-George
that England has at least 2,000,000
women who can devote their entire
time to shell making. Every woman,
they insist, can make at least one
shell a day. That means 2,000,000
shells a day, a number far beyond
Lloyd-George's extravagant estimate
of England's needs. The women
would like to undertake the job for the
Allies. Recently a military expert
established that the French consumption
of shells in July was 100,000 a day.
It is certain that it is not now over 1,000,000
a day. This would leave a
daily surplus of another million per
day to pass around to the other Allies.
The women say that after LloydGeorge,
their next greatest obstacle
has been the engineer employers at
the munition factories who have used
them for fuse making and light electrical
work but decline to give them
charge of the heavy machine tools.
Just to show them how wrong they
were, the women at last succeeded
in arranging for a full experiment in
several of the factories testifying
bo h to their ability and capacity for
any branch of shell making. They are
de dared to have done their work with
ar exactitude, thoroughness and cons<
ientiousness that could not be ex
celled. They put into it brain as well
as muscle. In one factory where
women were employed exclusively, the
output showed a quality superior to
that for which it was designed. The
women are admitted to have become
skilled in far shorter time than is required
by men. A week's tuition is
quite sufficient to initiate a woman Into
every process of complete shell
making, equipping her to begin with
a plain bar of steel and put it through
all the successive stages of turning,
boring, screwing and fitting the band
and the plug. She showed equal
ability in the factories making munitions
machines.

YORK, S. C.:
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1915.
No country on earth yields richer
rewards to intelligent industry than
this.
The day of the big farm seems to bs
almost past. The small farm is the
thing and the more the better.
The A. R. P. synod may not find
Yorkville as homelike as Due West,
but it will find Yorkville as homelike
as any other town it has ever visited.
Judge Mendel L. Smith, like President
Wilson, seems to think that the
people should give more attention as
to the selection of jurors. And really,
the subject is a very important one.
The North Carolina State Farmers'
Union, in session at Durham, on yesterday
adopted resolutions expressing
itself as emphatically against increased
appropriations for army and navy purposes.
Italy is talking of declaring war
against Germany because of the sinking
of the Italian steamer by a German
submarine. As to what difference
such a declaration would make we
cannot understand.
The treasury department continues
to consider the cotton future act as of
full force, regardless of the recent decision
of Judge C. M. Hughes of the
United States district court, pending a
review of the matter by the supreme
court of the United States.
"Every man has a right to live in
this country; but no man has a right
to loaf in it." says Judge Mendel L.
Smith. If South Carolina would
adopt this as her slogan and live up
to it, she would soon make "German
efficiency" look like child's play.
The cold weather has failed to put
up the price of cotton just at this
time and the indications are that the
bear interests have big enough supplies
on hand to enable them to "sell the
market" to at least a very considerable
extent.
Among the most notable things lor
which the United States has reason to
be thankful is that it is not mixed up
as an actual principal in this European
war. It would be better, perhaps, if
we should have less to do with the war
than we have been having to do
with it.
The Upper South Carolina Methodist
conference convenes in Spartanburg
next Tuesday. At the last meeting of
the conference the body was divided
by a line running through the center
of the state. The counties to the north
of the line are included in the Upper
South Carolina conference, and the
counties to the south of the line are
included in a conference that holds
the old name?"The South Carolina
conference."
We are printing today a communication
from W. T. Walker of Greenville.
setting forth the issues involved
in the trouble between the Judson
mill of Greenville and its operatives.
Mr. Walker puts it up to us that all

at the hands of the people of the state,
and because he has the reputation of
being a safe and sane leader of high
principles, we feel that it is nothing
more than right to give it to him.
His communication speaks for itself.
According to his presentation of the
case, there is no question of wages
involved; but only the right of the
mill workers to organize for the promotion
of their industrial, social and
material welfare. This right is guaranteed
by the laws of the state, and
in our opinion it is well founded on
principles of justice and liberty. Of
course, there is opposition to unionism.
which has not yet secured a firm
foothold in this state; but the right of
lab(jf to organize is being recognized
by fair minded, intelligent people everywhere,
and we are inclined to think
that if the Judson mill people will
continue to persevere in their efforts
and refrain from violence, they will
eventually win. But that they have
a hard road to travel under the circumstances,
goes without saying.
It is quite evident that there is going
to be a bjg fight in congress over
the question of spending something
like a billion dollars in preparation
for war. The president is committed
??-I_ 11-.. 1 . .1 1 !_
hi una puiiuj unu <1 awuiiK tinu influential
section of the business interests
of the country is with him. Mr.
Kitchin. the Democratic leader of the
house, is opposed to it. and he also
has quite a following which is being
ably backed up by Mr. Bryan and
others. The common belief is that the
Republicans will vote with the president,
especially since they have no
real responsibility in the matter.
What is the right thing to do is a
most serious problem. It is reasonably
certain that this country is not
now prepared for war in trained men,
arms or equipment like any of the
foreign countries, and it is reasonably
certain that any foreign country could
give us a lot of trouble before we
could get down to business, if it could
get over here. There is considerable
doubt as to whether any foreign country
could ever get to us to do much
good, except through Canada or Mexico.
Our coast cities might be laid
under tribute for a time; but it would
probably be only a matter of time before
we could be able to relieve them.
However, that is not the point so
much. The real point is whether it
would be best to go on as we are going
and depend upon our ability to
conduct ourselves in a wav that will
avoid war. or go ahead with the increase
of army and navy, and along
with it public sentiment to an extent
that might eventually make war
inevitable. This question of increasing:
the army and navy is easily the
biggest question that will come befor
the next congress.
While in Greenville recently, the
editor of The Enquirer had the pleasure
of being: shown through the Greenville
News building by Mr. G. W.
Brunson, the editor of that paper.
Mr. Brunson decided about a new
building about three years ago, and he
went into the enterprise on quite an
ambitious scale, putting up a handsome
six-story structure that ranks
with the handsomest and most expenI
oiifo KniMincra nf the oltv. Altoeether
he spent about one hundred thousand
dollars and he made a complete job
of the building from cellar to roof. In
planning the big building, due allowance
was made for the future growth
of the paper, and two-thirds more
room was provided than is necessary
for present purposes. All the surplus
room is rented to good tenants at a
rate that gives the Daily News its
own quarters practically without cost.
The equipment and conveniences of
the newspaper, .however, are all that
could be desired for a Journal of its
excellent claps and standing, and taken
altogether. Editor Brunson has
achieved an undertaking of which he
well has a right to be proud. He does
not hesitate to say, however, that the
period of depression immediately following
the breaking out of the European
war, took several years off his
life, on account of the exceedingly
close margin by which he was able to
pull through. The News is one of the
few daily papers in South Carolina
that is run on a strictly cash basis and
another peculiarity is that altogether
it has less than a dozen exchanges.
Care of the Teeth.
The greatest drawback to modern
dentistry is a foolish notion of ethics
that prevents the members of the
profession from advertising.
Because the ethics of the profession
prevent the members thereof from advertising
dentistry perhaps, does not
receive as much attention from the
newspapers as would otherwise be
the case.
Tnia is natural enuugu, t-uumci
but not altogether defensible, because
the real sufferer in the premises is not
so much the dentists and the newspapers
as the general public.
While, of course, a considerable
percentage of people have a fairly comprehensive
knowledge of the possibilities
of dentistry?enough people, maybe,
to keep the dentists fairly busy?
the majority of the people are without
such knowledge.
Dentistry probably has made more
progress during the past fifty years
than either surgery or medicine, and
nowadays It Is recognized that many
ills of the body, like rheumatism and
headache, defective eyesight are often
traceable to bad teeth, and any up-todate
dentist is able to remove the
trouble with but little difficulty.
There are certain troubles with
which the medical practitioners used
to struggle in vain; but which they
now send to the dentist with a certainty
of relief.
Up to a few years back the only
thing the dentist knew to do with an
abcessing tooth was to wait until the
abcess was ripe enough to open and
then go into it with a lance. There
has been many a wretched life on this
account, through ignorance, and
which seem not to occur now for the
reason that any dentist wno Knowp
his business pretty well can, if given
the case in time, head off an abcess
in the forming.
It used to be that the only thing
to be done for an aching tooth was
to pull it out; but now all dentists
know how to stop the aching, remove
the nerve and preserve the tooth for
years, and often this can be done
without pain.
Up to a few years ago, what is
known as Riggs disease of the gums,
a most disagreeable, upsetting and
painful disorder, Vfas absolutely incurable.
Now any modern dentist,
well up with his profession, will
promise with assurance, an absolute
cure.
People often suffer tortures with
their teeth simply because they are
ignorant of the fact that relief may
be easily affected by those who know
how, and most dentists know how.
It was Wm. H. Vanderbilt, we believe,
who gave expression to the
truism that it is of little use to have
anything that is of more value to
some one else than it is to yourself,
?nlooo vaii nHvertiao th? nnaapkalnr in
such a way as to bring the knowledge
to the other fellow.
No, we are not quarreling with the
dentists in this matter. We are merely
trying to give the public a hint as
to what Is in store for it if it will look
into the matter.
WOULD ABOLISH OFFICE
Effort Being Made to Oust Comptroller
John Skelton Williams.
Abolition of the office of comptroller
of the currency, which has direct
supervision over the operation of all
national banks, was proposed today
to the Federal reserve board by the
advisory council, created by the Federal
reserve act to advise the board on
matters of importance to the reserve
banking system, says a Washington
dispatch of Tuesday. The recommendation
was adopted at a meeting attended
by nine of the twelve members
of the council and the vote is understood
to have been unanimous. Later
it was discussed briefly by the board
itself, though no action was taken.
The council recently was asked to
submit to the board suggestions as to
legislation to be urged upon congress
at the coming session, and to this
task today's meeting largely was devoted.
It is said the members agreed
that the office of comptroller had been
made unnecessary by the establishment
of the reserve system, and that
there was bound to be duplication of
work since examinations of national
banks, one of the principal functions
of the comptroller's office, may be conducted
by agents of the reserve board
at the request of a reserve bank. An
alternative proposal was made that if
the office be not abolished, the examination
of member banks, including national
banks, should be made in the
future exclusively by examiners of the
Doara. mere nave Deen reports ior
sometime that an effort would be made
to abolish the office of comptroller or
to curtail its power, and it is understood
that several members of the
board would not be opposed to such
a change.
The council recommended also
amendments to the reserve act to permit
member banks to subscribe to the
stock of joint branches in foreign
countries, particularly South and Central
America; to permit national banks
to open branches in cities in the United
States and to permit member banks
to count Federal reserve notes as reserve.
Several other suggestions considered
of minor importance were advanced.
There was a general discussion of
requests from the board for opinions
on how to reduce the existing overexpansion
in loans and how to guard
against evil effects that may be expected
to result to the financial interests
of this country following the European
war.
Each of the reserve banks designates
a member of the council. Those attending
today were J. R. Forgan, Chicago;
D. G. Wing, Boston; W. S.
Rowe. Cleveland; O. I?. Seay, Richmond;
C. A. Lyerly, Atlanta; C. T.
Jaffray, Minneapolis; E. F. Swinney,
Kansas City; J. H. Ardrey, Dallas, and
Archibald Kains, San Francisco.
J. P. Morgan of New York. Levi L.
Rue of Philadelphia, and Rolla Wells
of St. Louis, were not present.

We submit that the town of York- t

step than in the establishment of a t
public cotton platform to be presided
over by a duly qualified official weigh- 8
er and grader. Had such a platform
been established ten years ago. the v
probability is that the business of the
town would be twice what It is at the \
present time.
The Yorkville people who went over 8
to Wlnthrop last Monday were car- a
ried away with the eloquent arguments
of the Great Commoner. One man a
said: "I believe I could have listened
to him for three hours without grow- a
ing tired,'* and another said, "I could
hardly restrain myself from following T
Mr. Bryan to Charlotte."
There is plenty of room for any en- t
terprlsing Individual to get any of the 8
premiums that are being ofTered by
The Yorkville Enquirer. While quite ^
a large number of names have*been
returned, it is still within the power a
of anybody to wln?the largest premi- t
urns, and there is hardly a community
in the county where one cannot z
hope to secure enough names to get a ^
ten-piece dinner set.
On Tuesday afternoon, Mr. J. C. h
Wallace of Ycrkville, brought to The 8
Enquirer office an advertisement ad- g
vising that he had found an overcoat r
which the owner could have by paying
for the advertisement. On yes- v
terday a card was received from J. J. J
Byers of Yorkville, asking that The
Enquirer advertise the fact that he 4]
had lost an overcoat and would pay
a reward to the finder. It is evidently c
the same overcoat, so we are leaving s
C
out both advertisements. *Reports
from several people who ^
have earned copies of our Premier I
dictionary either by collecting coupons 1
or returning and paying for subscrib- ^
era are to the effect that they are ^
much pleased with the book. Charlie a
Parrott of Filbert, who came in for a

FOX HUNTER AND HI8 DOG E
"Take fox hunters all around, they v
are a pretty good lot of folk; honest, ^
square, upright people and all that, F
but some of them will steal a dog? h
just simply can't help it," remarked J
Mr. J. Bolivar Scott of the Philadel- ^
phia section yesterday afternoon in is
conversation with an Enquirer repdrter b
and Supervisor Boyd. "iBn't that so,
Tom" queried Mr. Scott of the bu- \
pervisor. "You are a fox hunter. X
Wouldn't you steal a good dog if you
took a liking to him and had a c
chance?"' "Well, I don't know, you *
mustn't crowd me loo close," replied v
the lutter with a smile. "I'm not say- G
ing." J
Mr. Scott was talking about his fine ?
fox dog, "Joe," a large black hound ?
which he prized highly and which dis- ?
appeared irom his home on October 4, u
and has not since been heard from, although
Mr. Scott has advertised for
him in The Enquirer and made inquiry ?
in various other ways. "There is no 11
telling what has become of him," continued
Mr. Scott. "He may be in Ala- \]
bama or some other seaport. Joe was 1
?.he best fox dog in this country and ?
you couldn't much blame a fox huntcr
for taking him. Still 1 would like 11
io have him back powerful bad?so r<
bad that I would not mind giving $10 j1
for information leading to his recov- ,
.?-y. !
"A man told me the other day," con- 11
linued Mr. Scott, "that he believed he
knew where Joe was. 'This dog I saw S
looked much like Joe and it is a great h
'possum dog,' said my informant. No,' n
I replied, 'that isn't Joe. He's got too ii
i.iucn self-respect and is too proud of F
.us blood to hunt 'possums.' " tl
i\.r Sn..tt said he believed thai anme D
one has stolen Joe. He does not see g
now it would be possible for him to V
remain lost otherwise. "He's hunting "i
foxes every day or two now, I guess," \
ne said, "and whoever has him has If
aure got a dog. I have seen lots of k
good dogs but none better than Joe. w
His daddy was a good dog and so was I3
nis mammy." c
"His daddy was a better dog than h
he is," said Mr. Boyd. w
"No," replied Mr. Scott. fi
"Yes, but I knew them both," argu- \
ed the supervisor. a
"1 know," continued Mr. Scott, "but
you never saw them both together, be- w
cause Joe's daddy or his mammy either
couldn't keep up with him, he was so p
last. Kox hunters do like good dogs y
and they will do anything most to tl
get their hands on them. They will tl
buy them if they can, but if they can't n
?well, it's a good idea to keep your M
dog chuined. I remember several di
rears ago, Mr. J. W. Betts had a dog
tamed Fly, kin to Joe and about as
rood a dog. Thero was a fellow over
ibou* Vaylor's, where my son-in-law,
toy Ferguson lives, who was a great
ox hunter. Roy knew of Mr. Bett's
Hy and this fellow I have In mind, a
ail road conductor, nad a female dog
>f a fine pedigree. He got me to get
dr. Betts to send Fly over for a few
lays, which Mr. Betts consented to do.
V. few days later this conductor wrote
dr. Betts, asking him to let him keep
^y a few days longer. They wanted
0 have a race or two. Mr. Betts consented.
A few days later he received
vord that Fly had been run over by
1 train or something. That was all
hey ever heard of Fly. Never could
ind his grave or anything. I guess he's
ox nunung in ^Treeiiviuts uuumj
nountains now.
"Joe is not dead," declared Mr.
Scott, with assurance. "Somebody's
rot him. Maybe they have cut his
ail, clipped his ears or something. 1
lon't know. Anyway, I have got $10
or the person who can give me inormation
concerning him."
Mr. Scott and a party went fox
tunting Tuesday night and succeeded
n catching their fox. But they missed
Joe" all the same.

one of the most experienced and successful
dairymen in the county. He
has quite a large herd of cattle and

of cotton seed meal because
of a plentiful supply of cow
peas, alfalfa and other feed stuffs, he
said: "It is true I have quite a lot of
feed; but I am not Independent. If
you want to get the best results with
milk cows you have got to feed them
cotton seed meal, no matter what the
price."
Clerk Serves Grand Jury Presentment.
The clerk of the court has served
upon the various other county officers
so much of the presentment that the
grand jury made to the last term of
the court of general sessions, relating
to the matter of filing statements of
the receipts of their respectives offices.
It will be remembered that in its report,
the grand jury called attention
to the fact that for many years there
had existed a statute requiring all
county officers to file annually with the
supervisor an itemized report of all
receipts of their respective offices,
whether as salaries, fees, costs, etc.,
and that this statute had never beet)
complied with. The grand Jury recommended
compliance and also that reports
of previous years, heretofore
omitted, be placed on record as the
law requires.

Cow 27 Years Old. (
Hard to believe for the very '
simple reason that very few cows
attain that age. Most cows go to
that land where all good cows go j
when they have spent some 14 or 15
years here. However Mr. T. F. Jack- "
son of Clover is the owner of a ^
gentle milker that has already seen
27 new crops of spring grass, and if t*
appearances count for anything she (
is good for a great many more. There r
is no doubt about the cow's age. She f
is a registered Jersey and Mr. r
Jackson has the papers. He has had e
the animal about two years, having j
purchased her from Mr. Tom Craig of ^
Gastonla. She is a handsome animal, j
la rarer than thn a voraffP row and ahOWS ,
her pure strain In every vein and fibre, i
When Mr. Jackson purchased the f
cow two years ago, she weighed about r
700 pounds. Now she weighs 1,100
and Is still putting on weight. She
gives about one gallon and a half of
milk each day.

Clover, November 18?Thanks to
the enterprise of the Clover Betterment
association, together with assistance
from other sources, the Clover
Graded school will within a few
days be equipped with a first class
heating plAnt which is badly needed.
Work of installing the new heating
apparatus is now going on.
There are now 246 pupils enrolled
in the Clover high school, the largest
in the school's history. The average
attendance far exceeds that of any
previous year. There are 17 pupils
in the tenth grade.
Quite a number of Clover sportsmen
have been out this woek, tho first
of the hunling season. They report- *
birds fairly plentiful In this vicinity ]
while the rabbit crop is about as large * I
as usual. Dr. I. J. Camnbeil appears
to hold the palm for the greatest
number of partridges killed, so far
as your correspondent knows. Monday
afternoon he killed eleven and Tuesday
afternoon returned with 16.
If the oat and wheat acreage u. us
vicinity Is not as large this fall as it
was last, it will not be much less because
already hundreds of acres have
been sown and numerous farmers are
Btlll planting grain In great quantities.
Numbers of Clover people as well
la many from other section, attended
the wedding of Miss Pearl Knox
and Mr. Campbell P. Lawrence which
was solemnised at the home of the
bride's parents, last evening, Rev. A.
A. McLean, pastor of the Clover Presbyterian
church officiating. Both the
young people are well known, the
groom being the son of Mr. and Mrs.
J. W. Lawrence of this section while Miss
Knox is the daughter of Mr. and 1
Mrs. Geo. W. Knox. The young couple 4
were recipients of many beautiful w
wedding presents.
There is some talk of the town
council paving Main street It Is understood
that several contractors have
been here of late for the purpose of -q
looking over the situation. Clover la lacking
greatly in the matter of ce
ment sidewalks, the only paved street
in the town being on a portion of
King's Mountain. Many people are
agitating the idea, claiming that the
1 sitxrn Via a offn/inatn fnnHn with whinh
to pave Main street at least and that
the public money could not be spent
In a better way. Discussing the matter
the other day with your correspondent
a well known citlxen humorously
observed that he didn't know
whether cement sidewalks would be
in advantage or not because If the
paving was done Clover "wouldn't
look naturaL"
Mr. T. F. Jackson who lives a short
distance south of here Is going Into
dairy farming on a scale which exceeds
that of any other farmer in this
community. During the past summer
he has sold over $200 worth of
cream, milk and butter eadh month.
A portion of his products aro sold
here but the greater amount Is disposed
of In Oastonia where Mr. Jackson
supplies the Armlngton hotel and
numerous other customers. Mr. Jack- 4
son has a complete equipment for the ^
manufacture of butter at his home,
his plant including a steam cream separator,
churn and other machinery
necessary for the preparation of the
finest and purest butter. He is at
present feeding about 20 cows and j
though his output Is rather on the decline
now, he is still making and selling
more than 150 pounds of butter
per month and expects to keep up
that average throughout the winter.
^Everything connected with his plant
Is kept in the finest order?far better
than that of the average creamery and
he finds no difficulty In disposing of
all the butter and cream he has to
ofTer.
It appears that the cotton crop of
this section has about all been gatherad.
judging from the decrease in ginning
here during the past week. Hardly
more than ten bales were ginned here
yesterday. So far the Clover Cotton
Oil Company's plant has ginned about
