THE CLEVELAND STAR, SHELBY, N. C. TUESDAY, JULY 12, 1921- DEATH -OF -ONE OF EARTH'S NOBLEMEN Rev. J. L. McCurry Dies at Home of Son, Robert McCurry Near Kings Mt. Friday Buried at Beaver Dam Sunday Afternoon In the pasting of the Rev. J. L. McCurry Friday morning at 8 o'clock at the home of his son. Mr. Robert McCurry, near Kings Mt, Cleveland county has lost one of its most valu ed citizens and the Baptist church at large one of its most devoted members ; and preacher. The deceased had been in failing health for several years and had been confined to his bed for about eight months with leakage of the heart, and although the end came as a great shock to his host of friends, it was not altogether unexpected. After a long and useful life he laid down to reit, gently and sweetly, as he had lived, at the age of 76 and the funer al service and interment took place Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock at Beav er Dam church, Rev. W. G. Camp con ducting the services in the presences of one of the largest attended funer als ever held in this county..' In early manhood Rev. Mr. McCur ry was married to Miss Nancy Tay lor of McDowell county and to this union was born tix children, Mrs. Robert Short of Roanoke, Va; Mrs. Kate Blanton of Shelby; Mrs. Mattie Blanton of route 3; Miss Maude Mc Curry, Mr. Robert McCurry with whom he made his home and two sons Will and Ed who live in Texas. He was one of the best known men of the county and the better part of his dayt wore spent in the service of hiB Lord and Master, and he ever set the best example for loyalty and de votion to that cause, and his good life will be greatly missed in this community.

THE BRIDGEWATER LAKE AND THE ICARD ROAD Classed Among Wonders on This Side of Ridge; Scenery at Lake Has Strong Appeal In view of the fishing trips that o many Cleveland county people are making to Bridgewater in Burke county, the following: from the pen of Ben Dixon McNeill of the staff of the News and Observer will be of interest: "Bridgewater is in the greatest ingle engineering feat in North Car olina. Catawba river, Linville river and paddy's creek used to converge a dozen miles east of Marion; Some times when there was a freshet the three let a lot of water down into the low countries, more of it than the slow-moving streams could hand le very well. The Southern Power Company had dams across the riv ers, and they liked not these sudden incursions of waters. They built a dam across the Cataw ba, below Linville river, and across Paddy's creek. It is the greatest dam In the State and one of the greatest In eastern America. It is more than 150 feet high, and all told there is more than 2,000,000 cubic yards of dirt In it. Mostly it is used for wa ter storage, and to keen th u fffi irom raising ructions further down, A station has been installed that de- eiops 26,400 horse-power and the current, jrodoced at 6,500 volts is " stepped up to 88,000. jju: it is scenirally that Bridge water appeals to most. Duke took in a lot of territory, lot of good farm ing land and when he built the dam and covered the country with 140 feet of water. Also a lot of roads. Around the lake he has replaced the lost roads with about 70 miles of the very highest type of gravel road. Nowhere in the State will the motor est find better, and nowhere will so fine a combination of hill and water be found, not in all the country. "The crest of- the Ridge fS-plainly in view from the dam, over which runs one of the finest and widest of the roads. Up the Linville river is Shortoff mountain, a bare rock that rises stark and straight out of the water for 1,500 feet. Grandfather is visible from many of the stretches of road, and as far as the eye can see, the long reaches of the lake fing ering out into the inundated valleys that run back up into the hills. "Going west the motorist may have the Central highway at Glen Alpine for the better Duke-built road, and circle the lake on the north and see a thinir that cannot be seen elsewhere. The Central highway fs again touch-' ed at Marion, if indeed the traveler can drag himself away from the en trancements of Bridgewater, or is not devoured by the fish. There are fish in that water. Mr. Wilkinson proved it by catching six, and he had never been fishing before in his life. "Between Morganton and Hickory is a revelation road. There has been a lot of talk that a sand-clay road is worthless after a year or so. It isn't so at all. It is like Leonard Tufts said to the General Assembly. "The only dependable road is a maintained road. That was one of the first roads built by commissioner Frank Page. It has stood two winters, and two weeks ago it was as smooth as any concrete road in North Carolina. "In a year or two the sub-grade will be sufficiently settled to stand a heavy surface, and it may get it if the traffic demands it. But one would travel far to find a more satisfactory road than that." MRS. REBECCA C. HOYLE Rebecca C. Boggs Hayle was born in Lincolnton County December 29th 1837 departed this life June 29th 1921.

She was loved and admired by all who knew her and seemed to have deep concern in the welfare of every one. Her life was radiant and cheerful; and surely no one enjoyed life more than she. She loved her church and was never happier than when gathered with her friends at the church. During her recent illness she remarked to pastor "I hope to meet you at old Bethlehem again." Her passing is a distinct loss to her church and community but heaven is richer by it. Her body was laid to rest in the cemetary at Bethlehem amidst a host of sorrowing friends to await the call of the just. J. F. MOSER. WATER POWER ALMOST CERTAIN TO COME BACK White Coal is Cheaper Than Black Coal. Says Commerce and Finance An interesting article from a recent issue of Commerce and Finance is herewith reproduced: One of the inevitable results of the high price of coal will be the development of hydro-electric energy wherever the opportunity is good in the United States. There are hun-1 dreds of spots in the east where wa-! ter power was utilized in former days j but where the water wheel was aban- doned because coal was so cheap that it no longer was profitable to empby ! the power of the streams. Now the' conditions have changed and once! more water power is almost certain to "come back." particularly in sec - - - - j j ..... i . V . . . operations.

There is no such tide in this coun try. In the Gulf of Mexico the tide is inconsequential, ranging from 18 to 24 inches. In New York it is about six feet. On the Main cost it is about eight feet. Up Canada the Atlantic tide is something to talk about, particular- ly in the Bay of Fundy. There the tide is aibout 40 feet and that region boasts of one of the wonders of the world in a reversible waterfall, the j water tumbling over one side of a rocky obstruction as the tide comes j in and over the other side as the tide goes out. Hydro-electric engineers are in more demand these days than they have been for years and more seri ous attention is being given to water projects than ever before. Before long the investing public is likely to have all of literature from bankers specializing in this departfent of en terprise and development. Water power projects require a lot of money. One deterrent is that the investment is total before there is any return. On the other hand, there it little expense for upkeep once the work is done. Nature dosen't charge anything for the work it does and rarely, if ever, strikes. THINKS WEI.L OF CITY MANAGER GOVERNM ENT Morganton News-Herald.

CHAMBERS FELL ON THE RAILROAD TRACK Huntington Man Was Subject To Awful Dizzy Spells Without Warning. "I am willing to tell the world that whatever it takes to build a man up and make him feel fine this Tanlac's got it," said C. L. Chambers, 3139 Eighth Ave., Huntington, W. Va., employed at the C. & O. railroad shops. ' "I don't believe anybody ever had indigestion any worse than I had and for four years I didn't eat a meal without suffering misery afterwards. At times I had the most terrible nausea and would get so sick I couldn't stand up, and at other times my heart would flutter and my breath come in short, quick gasps. Awful dizzy spells would come on me without warning, ana one day one of these spells struck me and I fell right on the railroad track. I didn't get much sleep and got up in the morning as tired as when I went to bed. "The way Tanlac took hold of me was one of the biggest and gladdest surprises of my life. It soon had me feeling like a new man and I eat, sleep and work better than I have in years, and never have palpitation of the heart or dizzy spells any more. I wouldn't want to feel any better than I do, in fact, Tanlac deserves the cred it. It certainly does even more than is claimed for it." Tanlac is sold in Shelby by Paul Webb Drug store. adv.
