CONCERT WAS A GREAT
AFFAIR BY MISS GARDNER
.Demonstration that Edison Phono-
Graph Re-creates Human Voice
800 People Attend.
The concert in the graded school.
auditorium Monday night was a most
Ide'.itrhtful . nffair and clearlv demon
ithe instrument was playingand when
Miss Tda Gardner, soprano, was sing
ing. Miss Gardner stood beside the
Edison and sang in unison with Mr.
Ediscn's recreation so called; of her
own voice. This would have proved
as her voice mierht easily have over-
balanced the tone of the instrument
apparently at random and permitted
her re-cre?t''on voice to be heard
alone on the Edison. This gave an op
portunity to compare one with thr
.other and it is more than just to
state that there, was no discernable
difference in tone quality. At one time
while Miss Gardner was singing be
side the Edison the lights were put
out and when they came on again,
Miss Gardner had left the stage, but
her recreated voice was heard from
the Edison and the audience was
thrilled to see how perfectly her voice
was reproduced.
Mr. Harold Lyman, flutist, offered
similar comparisons with his instru
ment, playing in direct comparison
with the re-creation of his own per
formances. This proof was very con
vincing. About 800 people attended
the free concert which was given by
Mr. W. A. Pendleton, the well known
Edison dealer of this city.
SHELBY OIL MILL DOES
NOT WANT SEED NOW
Farmers Should Wait for Further
Notice Before Hauling Seed To
Sell Warehouses Full.
To the Farmers and Ginners:
We wish to state that we have our
seed houses full of cotton seed and
cannot take in any more cotton seed
for several days, therefore, we ask
that you do not haul us any seed for
several days, nor until we advise you
by phone or through The Cleveland
Star, which will be done just as soon
as we can get in position to take in
more cotton seed.
The food administration under
whose rules we are working has cer
tain rules that we have to comply
with, and one of them is that we can
not store seed on the ground, and it
hr.s ccme to a point we have to put
them on the ground or not buy, so
we have to stop buying.
We do not want to see anyone haul
their seed to our mill and have to take
them back, so don't bring them until
you call us over the phone and get
permission or see through The Star
thst we are again buying cotton seed.
We are doing all in our power to
take care of the farmers cotton seed
and in a few days or weeks, I hope
S
; begin buying seed again. Yours very

Their Menu was Fine.
Poincon, France, Dec. 26, 1918.
Dear Lee:
Yesterday was Christmas day and
you know a Christmas that can be had
in the States can't be had over hem
But we didn't let anything bother us
in the way of having a good dinner
yesterday and in fact we had more
than we could well dispose of; and
thoughts came to me that some peo
pie and children, couldn't have any
thing at all. Of course we were only
too glad to share with anybody that
came to us for something to eat
Supply Co. 322 Infantry menu for
Christmas day was: Roast turkey,
roast goose, roast chicken, chicken
dressing, creamed potatoes, apple
1 8aUCe' ch jam, hot biscuits colTee,
oranges, grapes, cakes, cigarettes, ci
gars and chewing gum, and if we are
in France and get feeds like that no
man has any remarks to make. I am
sure every man in the company enjoy
ed his dinner and Giles Webb and
Miller Harris came over to take din
ner with the boys from Shelby, and
we were glad they came for its inter
esting to have a talk with anyone you
know. And after dinner oranges and
nuts were served to the children in
Poincan; and no doubt the kids were
d ' y & everything
itnat an American can. At 2:30 n. m.

show to make the day more pleasant

SHELBY BOY IS AT
HOME FROM OVERSEAS
Gastonia Gazette.
Sgt. T. J. Abernethy, a former Gas
tonian, arrived in the city yesterday
from Camp Meade, having received
his final discharge from the service
Saturday, January 18. Sergeant Aber
nethy, who was a member of Com
pany F, 118th Infantry, was wound
ed in action on October 8, a machine
gun bullet having gone through the
muscles of his right arm. He was as
signed to a casualty company and
landed in the United States December
18, 1918 being sent to Camp Meade,
where he was finally discharged last
week. Sergeant Abernethy's company
was in a support regiment on Sep
tember 29th, when the Hindenburg
line was broken, and went into action
that night. The action in which he
was a part of the follow-up drive bo
hind the famous line. He will spend
a few days with friends here and then
go to his home at Shelby.
Only Applies to Burke County.
Legislators are somewhat puzzled
because some North Carolina papers
have evidently conceived the idea that
thVmeasure offered last week by Rep
rsentative Joseph E. Wilson, of Burke
relative to possession of more than a
quart of whiskey, would be state-wide
in application. As a matter of fact,
it would be applicable only in Burke
county. Mr. Wilson's substitute bill
would make it a misdemeanor for a
person to have more than a quart of
liquor, if the finding related to this
first offense, while in subsequent of
fenses such possession would consti
tute a felony, the penalty being left
largely to the discretion of the court.

TOM J. GOLD URGED
FOR CONGRESS
AND HE IS A NATIVE OF
CLEVELAND
OLD
May Succeed Major Stedman in the
Filth District Tom is Strong Man
in thin Session of Legislature.
The following distpatch from Ral
eigh to the Greensboro News will be
of interest to the many friends of
Hon. Thomas J. Clold, a lawyer of
High Point, because he is a native of
Cleveland and son of Mr. and Mrs. W.
F. Gold of this county:
The latest thing in political booms
comes in the shape or a movement to
have Thomas J. Gold, of High Point,
represent the fifth district in Con
gress. At present Mr. Gold represents
Guilford in the state house of repre
sentatives and there are a number of
North Carolinians who sec in him po
tential larger representation. The idea,
is advanced by men of affairs both
in and out of the general assembly
and is gaining in momentum from
day to day.
Mr. Gold's friends regard him as a
young man who is displaying un
doubted ability as a legislator and
who possesses capabilities that may
be developed in large fashion. He has
'.ong been closely identified with the
work of the Democratic party in this
state and he enjoys a popularity which
would be a valuable asset in a cam
paign for Congress, according te
prognosticators. He is a "fighter"
who would enter the campaign with
zest if he decided to make the race,
and it is generally conceded that tome
scrapping may be necessary in this
particular contest.
This is Thomas J. Gold's fourth
term in the general assembly. In
cipal court at High Point. As presi
dent of the Commercial club he has
been prominently connected with
many civic enterprises in the Furni
ture city. In 1916 he" was presiden
tial elector from the fifth district. He
is a trustee of the University of North
Carolina.
Many names have been mentioned
in connection with the fifth's congres
sional fight to be staged in 1920, one
of the most prominent being that of
Victor S. Bryant, representative from
Durham. If Major Stedman does not
seek re-election and there are many
who believe he will retire the Demo
unts w'H rrobnbly be called upon to
choose between several candidates.
Dennis G. Brummitt, of Granville,
speaker of the house, has been sug
gested in this connection and there
are others. Just now Tom Gold is be
ing talked by many of his friends as
a 'logical" candidate.
30th DIVISION IS
