having sold a couple of bales of cot- n

eral air that can generally be recognized
in some people when they have ^
money was wrapped all over him. He p
grinned like a 'possum oft a dry day "
and in spite of his dirty, ragged over- tl
alls he looked like a congressman who q
was well satisfied with the* speech he fti
had Just delivered at the county fair
I somewhere in advpeacy of Jthe League "
of Nations.* "Hurry up and git a move 01
on yo* Joe," said one of the females, T
evidently his wife. Joe's .eyes were at- w
tracted to a box of cheese, some pot- te
ted ham and a loose box of crackers. bl
"Mistah," ^ie said to the clerk, "gimme 01
a box o* dat ham an' a half pound o' ai

p * Sure Enough Roads. a*
W "I drove a cdr 700 miles without n<
' touching dirt," said Mr. 8. L. Court-' **
- ney, well known automobile dealer ot, pi
* YorkvUle, who returned to YoravHle ot
recently after a trip to Detroit, Mich. A]
Mr. Courtney made the return trip by d<
automobile and for. 700 miles of the 1
th
distance of more than 1,200 miles
I from Detroit to Yorkvllle, he traveled pi
altogether on concrete . and asphalt
roads. Thus his statement that 700 1)1
miles were traversed without touch- ni
ing dirt. "People In the' northeast e>
know nothing but good roads," said 5e
Mr. Courtney, "even as I am hope- 01
ful that the day is soon coining when w
the people of the south will know of ci
no other kind. These good roads in ,n
Michigan and the other states that I 111
traversed cost more than 125,000 " a

and more as all the people will testify." bl

surely go for the stuff. Just count is

There were eight people in the place at

A Bit of Luokf ca
"I made a lucky deal in connection fr>
* with the buying of the fixtures for the ar
bank," remarked'? V. Q. llambright, ar
cashier of the First National Bank of
Clover the other day. "It was prac- cc
tlcally impossible^ to buy new fixtures cc
for the bank at the time I wanted er
them and I was at loss as to what to 'f
do. One of the Slfford boys who was
k working in Orangeburg, happened to
P overhear a remark that the fixtures of
' a bank down there were for sale and I
bought them from a Charlotte concern. ?
The next day the parties from whom
I purchased informed me that they
were sorry they had sold to me since in
the following day they had an offer M
to sell them for twice what they sold ol
them to me." ci
Increase in Taxes. v 11:
"Believe me, therp has been some w
increase in taxes since I came to la
Clover in 1906," remarked a prominent
Clover citizen last Tuesday. He m
was engaged in hunting up his regis- ir
tration certificate and other papers in ai
order that he might vote for the good tl
street that Clover is to have. Tax Ii
receipts from 1906 to 1918 were all le

an idea as to the way taxes have increased
in just a few years," he said, ti
"My taxes in 100G were slightly over p;
$7 as you see here and last year they ol
4 were oveV $43.** And when asked if fi
W the value of his stuff wasn't a darn tr
I site more than it was in 1906, he said g
he guessed it was. cl
Collections are Good. n
That collections among York county g
merchants who do a "time business" s<
has exceeded their more sanguine ex
pectations is the consensus of opinion a
* of a number of leading: York county d
merchants who have recently been o
asked about the matter. "It beats a
anything I ever knew before," said a 3
well known merchant Tuesday. "I ! li
suppose my firm has something like d
^ $50,000 worth of stuff out on time this j
year, and over half of it has already ' a
been collected." . o
Mr. Johnson Was Much Interested. ju
"I had my eyes opened somewhat t
by my trip to New Orleans." said Mr. I
I J. E. Johnson, of Yorkville to Views t
and Interviews, shortly after his re- n
W turn from the World's Cotton Confer- i;
\
nee. "I had gathered the idea someiow
from somewhere that there was
great deal more wealth and proserity
dowp In the AJhbama and Missssippl
country than there was up this
ray. I had pictured in my mind as
ming the railroad, a succession of
alatial country homes sucjh as you
ead about in the old time novels, and
(though I was prepared to see great
elds that had once produced immense
uantities of cotton now devoted to
orn, hay, velvet beans, peanuts, and
lie like, still my imagination insisted
n demanding spacious white twolory
houses with rows of columns
long their wide piazzas. But I was
lsappointed and surprised. .From time
> time, while rolling through the lowring
flat lands, I saw a stately old
lansion that had no doubt seen days
f importance in the past, as a rule
le houses, barns and surrounding?
own that way do not begin to eomare
favorably with the farm improvelents
in this country. And I had
louglit that the J people had about
uit planting cotton; but not so. All
long the railroad in Alabama and
[ls8issippi you still see great cotton
elds just the same as in this country;
aly they are not white like our fields,
hey are green mostly, with only a
hlte speck here and there. The
irmerr had planted and cultivated;
lit before the cotton has begun to
?en the boll weevil had settled down
id cleaned things up completely. .You
re soon oppressed with a sense of
le childlike foolishness of people who
though they have lost crop after
op, persist in -keeping up what they
ied to do, possibly in the vain hope
lat maybe things would get right
rain, only to see all their work go for
)thing. Of course, there are many
K>ple down that way who have appelated
the situation and turned ' to
her crops but not nearly all of them,
s for New Orleans, I found it a wonsrfully
interesting place to visit; but
don't think I would like to live
lerc, not for long. All my earliest im-essions
of New Orleans, were sugistive
of unsanitary conditions that
ed yellow fever and other diseases
id of a kind of second-flddle cotton
[change. Of course I was aware that
sllow fever has at last been stamped
it, at least for the present; but, I
ar hardly surprised to And the old
ty so cjean, pleasant and generally
vitlng. You know it is commonly
iderstood that New Orleans is lower
lan the bed of the Mississippi river,
do not know whether it is or not;
it I noticed that wherever they were
a king excavations -for buildings,
ater was rising from a depth of two
three feet and they had lo keep
imps working to get rid of.it. But
so I noticed that concrete had workI
a great change. Now they have dry
isements and dry lower stories genally
through the use of concrete,
he remains of old time cysterns, now
y. are to be seen, and there is a
lend id water system, one of the
st in the world, that Is supplied
om l^ake Pontchartrain. There is
> discount on sanitation now. Genally
the mdre important buildings are
to. three and four stories, and but
\v of them are higher though there
at least one eleven story skyraper
in the city. The old St.
rtarles hotel fills a city block with
ores all around it, and it may be
itered from all sides. There is np
ohibition down there either. You
in buy any kind of liquor you call
r and beer seems to be as common
id as plentiful as it has ever been
lywhere. The people, especially
iose who had to do with us of the
itton conference, were delightfully
urtcous and hospitable, and tvheth1
any of us got anything else out of
or not, all of us had a great time.
DEFENDING THE IRISH
'Brien Makes Reply to John Sharp
Williams. /
The National Irish Bureau of Washigton
has made public a letter from
dchael J. O'Brien, ho3toriographcr
' the American Irish Historical Soety,
of New York, to Senator Wilim3,
democrat, of Mississippi in
hich a reply was made to the senator
st week.
Referring to Senator Williams' stateicnt
that he had received "threatenig
letters," Mr. O'Erien said that if
ly Irishman was responsible for
iem, "they do not represent genu'ne
ish feeling," and suggested that the
itters originated with enemies of Lend.
Taking up the senator's assertion
lat the Irish had exaggerated the
art their race had played in the revlutionary
war, Mr. O'Brien quoted
om official documents in the governicnt
archives in London, photoraphic
copies of which he said hv cniosed,
to show that the British comlanders
in the revolutionary war rearded
the Irish in America their most
?rious antagonists."
He also said he had found abundnt
evidence to show that Irish soliers
in the British army took every
pportunity of deserting to the rebels
nd added that he found that at leust
8 per cent of "the American army of
iberty were of Irish birth or of Irish
eseent."
"Of one hundred surnames of an
ncient Irish origin, I have counted
n the rolls of the revolutionary army
total of 12,293," he wrote, adding
hat there were nearly 1,500 officers of
rish blood and that General Washingon
chose as his aides a. number of
lativesof Ireland and sons of Irish imOlg
rants."

headquarters at Wilmington, N. C.,
have" been doing a good business
among farmers living in this territory
within the past week or ten days.
Several of these salesmen ha^e been
working the Clover section and in fact
a good, portion of York county, it is
understood and have found it ,to be
verily a land of milk and honey. The
salesmen say that their concern has a
flock of Ashing boats on the Atlantic
coast. The Ash being caught nro to
be used for fertilizer (that is the flnny
Ash) and the fertilizer is to be sold
to those farmers who buy stock in the
concern at a grently reduced price
over sales to non-stockholders. The
game iseeps to be for the salesmen to
learn wh&t farmers have sqld cotton
recently in considerable amounts and
then go to them with a lino of talk
to the effect that "we understand you
are one of the most prominent farmers
in your community and we want you
alone to take stock in this growing
concern. Knowing that you are a man
of means and of influence we wafhl to
lntercsf you personally." It appear^
that they forget to say how much the
fertilizer is going to cost the farmers
who take stock and how much more it
is going to cost them who don't.
Fishing has been good around Clover.
A couple of these stock salesmen took
a north-easterly route from Clover one

New Physician for Clover.
Dr. C. E. McLean, a well known
physician of Gastonia has located in
Clover for the practice of his profession.
Dr. McLean recently returned
after serving more than a year with
"theJi^American' Expedtttonay fbf-ces
where he held the rank of captain in
the medical corps. He is a son of exShorifT
J. D. U. McLean of Gaston

in hot* Gaston and the
northern section of York.county. Mrs.
McLean and child are at present making
their homo, at Belmont, N. C., with
Dr. McLean's mother and will , not
come to Clover for some time.
To Move to Virginia.
Mr. Sain A. Robinson, well known
farmer living west of Clover, who'
recently sold his handsome home and
farm to Mr. T. M. Allen of this place,
has purchased a farm near Chase
uity, va? ana expecis 10 move 10 Virginia,
with his family along about
December 15. it is Mr. Robinson's
intention to devote his energies principal^
to the cultivation of tobacco on
his Virginia farm. He has purchased
a farm of 37G acres near Chase City,
which is in Mecklenburg county and
while the soil of his new purchase is
as well adapted to the cultivation of
cotton he is attracted to tobacco production
and will devote most of its
acreage to tobacco. "1 have been
thinking of moving to Virginia for
some time." he said the other day in
talking about, his venture. "I have a
brother-in-law. Will Adams, living at
Chase City, and I have been wanting
to get out there for some time although
my family didn't want to go.
However I recently sold my farm here
and purchased a hundred more acres
of land than I had here, together with
a good residence at n saving of several
thousand dollars over what I received
for my York county farm. Farmers
growing tobacco around Chase City
this year have averaged more than
$500 per acre for their crops which
enn he crown as cheaDlv as cotton.
Lands arc cheaper in Virginia than in
York county and labor conditions are
better and I think I am going to be
well pleased with my new homo."

No increase in the number of cases
of influenza in Clover and the surrounding
country have been reported

Wannamakei' Brings Enthusiasm Fror

Columbia, Oct. 19.?Returning todo

J.' S. Wannamaker, president of th
American Cotton Association, issued
statement in wmcn qe aeciarea uu
the consensus of opinion at the coi
ference was that cotton was goir
much higher immediately. He is coi
vincod, he says, that the staple wl
bo bringing forty cents within the neo
few weeks and that It will be bringln
fifty cents before the present crop
disposed of.
"I went to New Orleans," said M
Wannamakcr, "believing that cottc
was going to advance to forty ceni
soon. I came away convinced that
"would reach that figure very short!;
I am further convinced that in th
first months of 1920 we shall be scll'ii
cotton for fifty cents a pound.

"Even the manufacturers1 thefnselv<
admit that cotton is going much h'glu

that they have had their eyes ope.u
