TUESDAY. JULY 19, 1921. $2.00 A YEAR IN ADVANCE 481 REGISTER FOR SCHOOL ELECTION TO BE HELD IN SHELBY SATURDAY Between 175 and 200 Register at the fchelby Mill Two Trips Out to Register Registration books for the $75,000 school bond election closed .Saturday at sundown when 481 voters had reg istered with the Registrar Mr. T. C. Eskridge.NiThe election on the ques tion of issuing $75,000 school bonds bearing an interest rate of six per tent will be held Saturday of this week, July 23rd. Two hundred and forty one votes will be necessary to cany the election or defeat the bond isue, $25,000 of which amount will he used to pajrndebtedness for the colored school building and a tem porary school building erected last summer to the rear of the main grad ed school building, while the -remaining $50,000 will be used to build a grammar grade building on a lot on S. LaFayette street, part or all of which was donated by the Shelby Cotton Mill. Several years ago when it was proposed to erect a grammar grade building in the southern part of town, plans and specifications were made but at that time labor and material were so high and bids were : far in excess of the funds avail able, the building idea was given up and a temporary structure erected to the rear of the main graded school building to meet the needs for the present. The school board bought the plans at a discount, paying therefor ?:i.O00. Supt Griffin says the $50,000 wiil not be sufficient to build in ac cordance with the $3,000 plans and specifications aruf it will be necessary to altar the plans or have new ones ! made. J This was a new registration and j no voters were registered by proxy, j but were required to appear in per-j son before the registrar. Last week Mr. Eskridge was directed by some j ( ne whose name ne aid not recall to vi-it the Shelby Mill village and there register the voters and he stated yes terday that between. 175 and 200 had registered from the Shelby Mill vil lage near which the proposed new building will be erected. Mr. Esk ridge on another occasion registered a number of voters on West Marion ' street going to and from his home. The remainder of his time was spent in the court house or on the square where would-be voters were required t call on him in person and regist er. Sentiment is very much divided on the bond issue, but it looks now as if it will be safely passed.

Herd Surf arc to Hickory Ch" riot te Observer. The information carried by the Ob- nrver yesterday that the state high way commission had appropriated an extra $50,000 for construction of a hard surface highway from the Lin coln county line through Maiden to Newton has a significant meaning. This is found in a paragraph in the Hickory Record in reference to thi matter to the effect that, this work having been done, there would remain only "an eight-mile stretch in Lincoln county, yet to be provided for; before a permanent road will be on the map between Hickory and Charlotte." As a matter of course this eight mile? will be provided for by the commis sion and it is possible that Charlotte may be brought into hard-surfaced connection with the Central highway at Hickory before it taps that great artery at Statesville. Thus the good roads prospects in this section of the state are unfolding at a gratifying rate. ROAD TO ASHEVILLE IN GOOD CONDITION B.

INFLUX OF GOLD TO UNITED STATES PRICES MAY RISE AS A RESULT Millions of Dollars are Pouring in From Other Nations Credit Available Again By Harden Colfax Washington. Julv 10 W lof ting so much gold from abroad that prices threaten to rise again. As a matter of fact, the index number of a national commercial agency the number representing the weighed av erage of prices of the chief commo dities sold in this country was high er JWy first than on June first, the first' rise after 13 successive months of decline. A veritable tidal wave of gold is sweeping upon American shores, It comes from almost every ejvilized na tion. It has never come in such huge volume before. And, instead of lessen ing the quantity is getting larger, much to the embarrassment of cer tain bankers who see an inevitable reaction from the downward . swing of prices and another .era of inflation unless banks the country over are extremely cautious in letting down the bars. At the present time, one third of all the gold in the world rests in Ameri can coffers. It has come, drawn us it by a magnet, at the rate of fifty mil lion dollars a month and more since the first of the year. England has sent ub one hundred and two million dollars. France seventy-three mil lions, Sweden Torty-three millons, Holland fifteen millions, Canada twenty-five millions, South America twelve millions; Asia, forty-six mil lions and even Australia and New Zealand have sent their mite. The total inflow for the first six months of the year is reported by the Fed eral Reserve Board at three hundred and forty-six million, and the total tmount of gold in the board's keep ing at the present time is placed at nearly two and one-half billions, r A . . CreJit Increases With the golden flood has Come a tremendous increase in the potential credit capacity of the banks. The banks within the Federal reserve sys tem could lend their borrowers at the present time not less than twelve and onehalf billion dollars because of the increased gold reserves.

CARPENTER OF RUTHER PORDTON IS OLD TIMER T. n Tribune flice had a call Satur day from an "old time printer." He is Rev. J. B. Carpenter of Rutherford ton, N. C, who returned home yester day after spending one week with his daughter, Mrs. R. L. Doggett. Mr. Carpenter learned the printer's trade sixty odd years ago and in 1808, he informs us, he .-et type on the eld Georgia Democrat, published at Marietta, Ga., and he was associat ed in the business there with a man. by the name of Gassett, who was killed in the Civil war. The paper at Marietta 'was printed on a Franklin hand press, the kind used before the time of the Washington hand press. Mr. Carpenter later went to Ruther fordfdn, N. C, and was associated with' the Rutherfordton Star about ten years. Forty years ago he found out he could be both, printer and preacher, and he gave up the" news paper game and went to preaching regularly, but he has never ' been able to entirely wash the smell of ink from his fingers and he delights to drop in a printing office and chat for awhile. Mr. Carpenter is 83 years old today and still an active man. Long may he live- Tugaloo Tribune.
