Please allow me space in your val uable paper to say a few words in regard to Clean up and Paint up week which has just closed. I notice from the street superintendents re port where our thriving little town hauled 200 loads of trash away free for our citizens. This is fine work on the part of our town officials but allow me to say right here that if our officials would make regular rounds each week, and haul this trash away there would not be so much work to be done in one day. The town would bea cleaner and much safer place to live in. - The citizens of our town pay tax es for the privilege of living here, and they certainly are due some con' aideration (or the money they spend in this way. So why do our officials charge us 50 cents per load for haul. Ing trash away? I think that this would he a fine time to take this matter ap'with the riots applicants for the different position, i4fcla coming election. ,, VndeuVr: Editor, f am not a knocker, instead I a ma booster for Shelby, and I certainly would be glad to see oar town officials arrange a regular .schedule-for the trash wag ons so we all would know what day we may expect them in our section. This would give our town a much better " appearance it would make it much 4fer for our little children's lives, it would ,do us all good to keep our premises . clean all the time, so lets get In behind the proper officials and keep our little town free from germ breeding places. Thanking you, I remain, Yours for a clean town. . : .

Signatures of un derwriters being f eeured to guar antee fund; 1'cr reeuring the best of players and a complete outfit of uni forms, ball bats, etc. Until Satur day afternoon nearly f GOO had been pledged for the support of the team, the shares being $10 each, not to be paid unless the gate receipts for trite season fail to meet the necessary ex penses for the season. A master stroke is being made by merging the Ella mill team with the Shejby team. The Ella mill team is one of the bet in this section. Out of six games this season, only one has hcn lost. The best players on the Ella t?Rm will continue1 with the Shelby team and it is hoped that a circuit can be formed with nearby towns so that the season's schedule can be made up for daily games or games every-other-day during the summer. It has been pointed out that Piedmont ami Boiling Springs high schools which have just closed, have turned out some good players which might be obtainnb'.o. It is practically assured that Car olee,i, Heuietta and Lincolnton will be or" the Circuit and hopes are en tertained that GaffneyJ Morganton, Gastonia rnd Monroe will join. At the meting of the promoters yesterday, the following men were elected to manage affairs of the new team: Ward Arey, president, Oliver Anthony manager and treasurer; Dick Gurley, manager; Paul Webb, A W. McMurry,' O. M. Gardner, A. B. Suttle, Jack Dover and Clyde Short, directors. BOY SCOUTS TO HAVE CREAM SUPPER Will Hold Forth on Streets and Serve Homemade Cake and Ice Cream vfriday.
