No.- THE CLEVELAND STAR, SHELBY, N. C. FRIDAY. JULY 1, 1921. $3.00 A YEAR IN ADVANCF WHY SHELBY NEEDS A CITY MANAGER ADVOCATED BY ALDERMAN HAMRICK Estimates That From Seven to Ten Thousand Dollars Could be Saved by Whole Time Man To realize to the full extent, the juwth of Shelby, we can look back ii few years to the time when the :e(ipts and expenditures were less than $30,000 each year and now thty run up towards $150,000. We have an excellent bookkeeping department, one of the best in the taU', so the auditor' says. Our water ami light system has grown until it !- a big thing in itself, and keeps several men very busy. Our chief police collects $40,000 or more taxes, besides all the other duties. Shelby has many streets to keep n j:oud condition and a small force to do it with, but since we purchas ed the motor trash wagon we arc saving money and keeping the town in a more sanitary condition. Since eoming into office 60 days ago, I eaii readily see where the town has lo-t thousands of dollars the past , rural years by not having some one, familiar with municipal affairs !o look closely after each department, liy devoting their entire time to it, and thereby saving the town from -even to ten thousand each year. The office of Mayor does not re (uiri4 that, neither do the people expect a man to devote his entire time to the towns affairs on a salary of $2.r),()0 per month. Our present mayor, Col. Gardner has spent his entire time since election to the city's affairs, trying to stop all wastes and leaks, and to save the town money in every way possible i : nu at me same ume mane us a goou to.vn and give the people the things reeded, but the town can hardly ask or expect him to continue such full time service and receive no compen sation. I must mention the fact that he has already saved us more than $2,000 this year on the purchase of sulphate of aluminum for the pump station. He has collected hundreds of dollars in old accounts due the town, of several years standing. He has superintended the renovating of one of our septic tanks at a cost of a few hundred dollars, saving the town the cost of a new one which would have been $7,000.00 He has caused the railroads to put in crossings that are passable. Operating costs have been reduced and he sees that we are getting: full value for every dollar the town spends. I desire to see this administration a successful one from every standpoint, but it cannot be, unless we have a full time man to look after each department, and the town is fortunate in being able to .-ecure Mayor Gardner's full time service as manager for $100.00 per month. If the people were on the inside, could realize the necessity, could see the savings that have been made, they would not hesitate a minute in approving such an action of the Board. I have suggested that the aldermen adopt that plan, and I will bring the matter before them at our regular meeting July 5th, and we want to know whether the people desire us to continue the towns af fairs in the same old slip shod way or to adopt the plan of running the town in a business way.

DEVILISH DOCTRINE CHALLENGED BY POOVEY Will the author of the learned (?) dissertation in the last issue of the Star, on, "The Final Perseverance of the Saints", please favor the read ers of the Star with a complete cat alog of the "sins" which a "Saint" may permit hi "flesh" to commit without losing his standing in saint hood. And, furthermore, will he use his wonderful (?) expository powers in exposing the following Scriptures so as to show that they sustain his "inspired" theory: that "The flesh sins every day, for the flesh has nev er been born of the Holy Spirit." "I will pour out of my Spirit on all flesh" Acts 2:17. "I beseech you therefore, breth ren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your BODIES a living sac rifice, HOLY, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service." Romans 12:1.

BIG FIGHT ARENA SEATS 70,000 140 CARS OfTuMBER USED i i. Seats Sell From $5 to $50 to See l$ig Championship Bout 600 Men Worked Since April 28th The greatest arena Tex Rickard haa built is ready to accommodate ap proximately 70,000 spectators when Champion Jack Dempsey meets Geor ges Carpentier in Jersey City, July . Since April 28, more than 600 worknTPti have been'. distributed over all sections of the huge octagonal saucer' which grew daily under their tatoo of hammers until today, when their labor was completed. The great reinforced structure, covering nearly a third of the tract known as "Boyle's Thirty Acres, awaits the in spection of government engineers nnd the installation of telegraph wires through which millions of per sons, compared-to whom the 70,000 actual spectators will be numerical ly insignificant, will see the "Bat. tie of the Century" through their minds' eyes. Twenty-five minutes from Broad way and 42nd Street, a more advan tageous site for the contest could not have been chosen. Tube trains under the Hudson river will carry thousands of persons to stations near the arena. Ferry boats will carry more thousands across the river from Manhattan to trolley centers in Jer sey City within easy reach of th battleground. "More than a dozen trunk line railroads with Jersey City as terminal, will bring their quota from distant places. Several trans continental railroads, with yards on ly a few blocks from "Boyle's Thir ty Acres" will park special trains of Pullman cars on convenient ' sid ings which enthusiasts from distant points will use for shelter during their stay here. The arena is the largest ever built by Rickard or any other promoter for a boxing contest. It exceeds by far the amphitheatre in which John son and Jeffries met in 1910 at Reno, Nev, and also the one where Jess Willard lost his title to Jack Demp aey at Toledo, O., two years ago. It has been built at a cost of $200,000. Two and a half million feet of lum ber, equal to 475 miles of boards, laid end to end, or about 140 car loads, have been used in the construc tion. Better than ever before at a boxing bout, holders of reserve seats will be protected at Jersey City, on July 2. Long experience in the psychol ?y of "fight crowds" has taught Tex Rickard the wisdom of precau tion. Fences, with barbed wire bar ricades, will mark the limits of the various seat sections, to which the crowd1 will have access through 20 enterance, every seat, except the five dollar general admissions, has been reserved, and the holder of a $40 or $30 seat will enter and walk to the desired point of vantage with as much ease and certainty, Rick ard assures, as the purchaser of an orchestra seat in a metropolitan theatre. Advance sales have indicated that a greater proportion of women will attend the bout than has ever been the case in a title match heretofore. Rickard has declared that nearly one-fourth of the crowd will be composed of feminine spectators. Boxes, immediately in rear of the $50 seats, have been constructed . with the aim of accommodating "box par ties" comfortably, A PRETTY NATIONAL BISCUIT WINDOW Mr. Wooten, window and interior decorator and display artist at Gil mer's has installed a beautiful win dow " of ' National Biscuit products. ' Three large dolls are seated at tables where they are enjoying National buiscuit products for refreshments, amid a surrounding of ferns, palms and an artistically arranged display of National cakes and confections. The window is attracting consider-. able attention. . MEETING AS TO STATE ROAD TO WACO CALLED OFF Chairman W. II. JenningS)of the county commissioners had ,la letter this week from John C.
