Spindale, June 28—Mr. Clarence Griffin of Spindale returned Friday from a week’s motor trip through the Piedmont and coastal sections of North Carolina. The tobacco and fruit crops of the state are looking splendid, and the abundance of rain of the last two weeks is working wonders in the small truck crops, he says. During the trip he visited a number of the state’s historic spots and battle grounds. Previous to this trip he had visited in 86 of the 100 counties of the state and last week visited 11 of the 14 counties that he had not been in before.
Mr. John Lester Duncan, son of Mrs. J.C. Twitty, left Tuesday for West Point, N.Y., to enter the United States Military Academy. Congressman Zebulon Weaver secured the appointment for him to this noted military school.
Officer O.D. Barrs of Hickory, formerly of this place, with the help of another officer, captured 102 gallons of whiskey in a new Hudson coach one night last week in Hickory. This is one of the largest hauls ever made in the state. Mr. Barrs is well remembered here.
The bright little son of Mr. and Mrs. L.N. Daniel of near Tanner’s Grove, is visiting his aunt, Miss Maggie Daniel of Spindale.
Work is going forward rapidly on the paved streets here.
