The many friends of Miu
Msiths Laoey, who was opera
ted on for cancer tn Baltimore
abont taro week* ago will be
pleased to know that tbe present
indications arc that her recovery
will bo spasdy and complete.
. Mr. Will McCarter, an iodita
trioca and socceaaful young
farmer living abont foor miles
•oath of bera, lost his pocket
book containing eighty odd dol
lars while coming to Clover to
deposit the money in the bank
on Wednesday.
It is probable that 5,000 spin
dles will be added daring the
present year to the equipment
of the Clover Cotton Mill. Tbe
directors have already considered
the matter somewhat, and have
milled for a special meeting of
tbe stockholders to be beta on
April 17.
A regular cocking main was
pulled ofi abont two and a half
miles north-east of here, and
about a half mile south of tbe
railroad trestle across Beaver
dam creek Thursday. It is said
that from 250 to 300 men and
boys were on hand as witnesses
and participants, and that not
leas than $2,000 was wagered.
Thelmain, h seems, was an in
terstate a&airbetwcen North and
South Carolina, and that tbe
main consisted of seven fights,
aod it is said that Sonth Car
olina birds won five ot them, and
in addition won both of tbe two
odd fights fought. So much for
tbe record, ana now a few words
by way of comment in behalf of
me citizens of this place who do
not approve of this depraved
character of "sport,” mod any
and all kinds of gambling.
Nothing was known of tbe in
tention of the promoters of the
main to pnll it off in this section
by the people here generally,
until Wednesday when three or
fonr white men and oae or more
negroes arrived in towo with
twelve or fifteen cocks, who af
ter arranging for the care of the
birds proceeded to lonnge around
town. Their pretence excited
cariosity and investigation de
veloped what their mission was.
Others came in Tbnrsday morn
ing by train and private convey
ance until quite a crowd of about
as tough appearing humanity as
one could imagiae, was in evi
dence. After learning the ob
ject of the gathering some of tbe
'law abiding citizens began to
investigate as to tbe probability
if stopping proceedings by pow
ers of law and were advised that
the law on the subject was so
inadequate that there was little
hope from that source. and theo
it was that the indignation of
the people boiled at tbe thought
of having what they considered
such a disgraceful, disreputable,
cruel affair to take place right
under their notes, as it were,
and they be unable to raise a
hand to prevent it. While it is
said that several men were pres
ent who are peace officers in
tbeir respective communities,
none were witnesses of the fights
in tbeir "official capacities,*' bm
only as citizens! It is said that
in many states the laws prohibit
the fighting of cocks under any
circumstances, whether money
is wagered or not, where gaffs or
other simitar devices are used,
and it seems that Soutn Carolina
should have a'similar law passed
without delay. If the gaff is
outlawed, cock fighting will lose
Its ioterest to the sports.
