NATION TO OBSERVE
ARMISTICE
DAY
1 resident to Head Solemn Cer
emonial To Be Observed From
Coast to Coast
A solemn ceremonial to voice at
ome the nation's gratitude to the sol
dier dead and its hope of deliverance
from the burden of heavy armaments
will be observed from coast to coast
c n Armistice Day under the leader
ship of President Harding and offici
als of his administration.
In honor of the occasion, the first
meeting of the disarmament confer
ence called for that day, is to be con
lined to the briefest of formalities,
leaving the delegates' free to join with
the President in the central ceremony
at Arlington National cemetery. On
the next day, November 12, the real
work of the conference 'will begin.
Plans for the two-fold observance
have Tiot yet taken detailed form, but
they are expected to include, a nation-wide
demonstratioii for the limi
tation of armament by organized la
bor, prayer services in many church
es, specipl meeting of women's organ
izations, and ceremonies of various
forms by civic, industrial and politi
cal bodies generally. It is probable
that presidential proclamation will
set the day aside as a national holi
day. It is the present purpose of the ad
ministration to ask that the arma
ment conference, called to meet on
Ai mstice day, do not more than as-j
.ambled and then adjourn out of de
ference to the day's significance.
Members of the foreign delegations
may be asked to speak briefly at the
Arlington ceremonies, where the Pres
ident will make the prinicpal address j
and General Pershing will lay a
wreath on the grave of the unknown
soldier to be buried there. Ceremo
nies of a similar nature will be held
throughout the country while the
wheels of government and of indus
try are quieted.
By such an observance, officials are
said to believe they can preclude the
possibility that the tribute to the sol
dier dead will be overshadowed in the
public mind by the meeting of the
conference and at the same time give
the nation an opportunity to speak
in unmistakable terms the sentiments
for armament reduction. The plan is
said to have been delivered by the
President himself because he felt that
the tributes to those who gave their
lives in the world war might well be
mingled with a prayer for closer in
ternational understanding.
In his Arlington address Mr. Hard
ing is expected to touch on this con
viction, although any definite declara
tion of the purposes and hopes of the
armament negotiations will be reserv
ed for the following day when he will
officially welcome the delegates to the
United States and set in motion the
machinery of the conference.
FREAKS OF LIGHTNING PICKS
HEN AND SUCK'S THE EGGS
An exchange tells us of a marve
lous freak of lightning which was
reported by Mr. Coleman Lyne of
Jefferson ccunty, West V.?., who de
clared that after the bolt of lighting
had struck a small rear trcc liear
her chicken yard, she went out to
topic after a hen whoie eggs were soon
to hatch. She found that the lightning
hod run down the fence a" short dis
tance to the nest, and there was the
skeleton of the hen in the exact po
sition which she had occupied on the
' nest." The bbneV were as clean" as
tho they had been scraped, and the
meat and feathers were lying nearby
not even scorched. None of the eggs
had been cracked, but on close inspec
tion a small hole was found in the end
of each egg, and the inside of the
shell was burned out a" clean as a
new pin.

Fifty-Four Additions
As a result of the splendid revival
meeting conducted at the First Bap
tist church foe the past two week
by the pastor, Rev. J. M. Kester theiv
were 54 additions to the church, 23
on profession of faith and 31 by let
ter. Wants Benedict's Baptist
History
Rev. A. H. Sims of Kings Mountain
was in Shelby the. other day and
asked The Star to try to locate for
him the first and second volumes of
Benedict's History, of the Baptists.
He wishes to trace up some family
history and if copies of this book are
in possession of Star readers, Mr.
Sims will be glad to borrow or buy
them. It is rather singular that Mr.
Sims' great grand-father was a Bap
tist minister who came over from
England and that in the last 150 years
three Fiiccessive generations of the
Sims family have been preachers and
one is living today. Either communi
cate with Mr. Sims at Kings Moun
tain or The Star if you have these
books.
The Men's Chorus
The Men's Chorus of about 15 voic
es which was organized and trained
by Prof. E. A. Ruppe while he was
here as assistant pastor and choir
director of the First Baptist church is
continuing to sing gospel messages
under the leadership and direction of
Mr. J. J. Lattimore. Mr. Lattimore is
a most enthusiastic choir leader and is
to be congratulated for carrying on
the splendid work which Mr. Ruppe
started. He has a beautiful tenor voice
himself and is receiving the hearty
co-operation pf the members of the
choirs, all of whom are spiritually
minded men of the three leading de
nominations in Shelby. This chorus
goes about from church to church and
helps out in the services, thus con
tributing greatly to the spiritual at
mosphere of the meetings and creating
a feeling of good fellowship be
tween the denominations. Since Mr
Rupp's health has failed and he has
been compelled to go West in the hope
of a restoration of his strength, the
men's gospel chorus should be con
tinued as a memorial to his splendid
work here.
M. E. Sunday School
Ends Splendid Year
Sunday, Sept. 25th was the end of
the fiscal year for Central MethodiBt
Sunday school and the large crowd
of people present were much gratified
to hear of the work done during the
year by the superintendent, Mr. Wm.
Lineborger and his.effcient corps of
thirty five officers and teachers. All
classes of the c;-at!ie roll, primary,
jur.ijr ar.J ir.tci mediate departments
ve:c rror.icted, u:ii . ixty children re
ceived department certificates.
The department superintendents,
Mrs. P. L. Hennessa, Mus tunice
Roberts, Mr. Fred ,Baber, and Mrs. C.
R. Hoey gave demonstrations of the
work done in the different., rooms.
This was especially interessting be
cause the department system with it
graded worships and graded lessons
is still new; to many of our people.
The story of the good Samaritan tpld
by little Margaret Ford, a five year
old tot, was a sample of the work
done by teachers of the little chil
dren. A short worship service con
ducted by the Intermediate boys and
pirla showed what splendid results
could be achieved by trained leader
ship with the teen age group,
songs and Bible verses given by the
primaries and Juniors were also ex
cellent, showing that the child's mind
is being richly stored with passages
from God's' word.
The superintendent gave the finan
cial report for the year. Comparing
the $434 amount raised two years ago
with the S2.000 raised this year. Miss
Fay Dellinger gave a violin solo for
an offertory. The presence of the
Men's Bible class, sixty strong, and
the Home Department added much to
the enjoyment of the occasion, ine
.whole, program is said to be the best
thing of its kind ever held at Central
Methodist church, Shelby.

MR. COTTON GINNER. DO

posed on Gins Operating With
out License
Notice to all Unlicensed Cotton Gin-
ners: .
There are a number of cotton gin-
ners in the Stats who have not yet
applied for license to operate a cot
ton gin during this season. Their at
tention is called to the' fact that the
last session of the legislature passed
a law requiring that all ginners make
application for license to the Commis
sioner of Agriculture and that such
ginners collect for the next two years
a tax of twenty-tive cents per bale
on all cotton ginned, remitting this
tflx monthly to the Department of
Revenue.-" - -
The law imposes a fine of five dol
lars per day on all ginners who op-i
erate without securing State license. I
Therefore, it is directed that gin
ners who have not yet secured their
license to operate write the Commis
sioner of Agriculture requesting a
form of application for license, which
should be filled out. and forwarded
immediately,
'As a matter of information I de
sire to state that the tax referred to
constitutes a fund from which guar
antees the integrity of the warehouse
receipts issued under the State Ware
house System, and that nine-tenths
of thit fund will be loaned for, the
construction of warehouses," the. indi-"
vidua! loan not to exceed fifty per
cent of the total warehouse cost The
attention of your readers is called to
the benefits which they may obtain
by availing themselves of the provis
ions of this law either in regard to the
operation, under ft of existing ware
houses or in borrowing money for
the construction of new warehouses.

A YEAR IN ADVANCE
M'SS'CQBB TELLS OF HER
VISIT TO CLEVELAND
netted Wit hThe" Star's Ban
quet, The Trip to the Battle
ground and Shelby Hospitali-
ty .:."..--.,
(By Miss Beatrics Cobb, editor of
Morganton News-Herald:) '
Leaing Charlotte on Friday morn
ing the next stage of the journey took
thi writer to the hustling littln tow,.
of Kings Mountain, where our (W.t
friend, Mr. G. G. Page, editor of The
nings Mountain Herald, makes ev.
erybody believe that It would be hard
to find a better town. Since the visit '
we wouldn take issue with him; By
automobile we went through fertile
farming lands of Cleveland county,
where the fields were dotted with cot- '
ton pickers, to the famous Cleveland,
Springs hotel and Shelby, than which '
we are ready to say there is not a '
more hospitable town in North Caro
lina, - . .-
It was not our fault that there was
net much accomplished at the busi
ness session of the Western North
Carolina Press Association that morn-
ins: at Cleveland Springs. There we-a
several interesting and profitable dis
cussions of "shop," but our hosts had
o many interesting side trips plan
ned, thnt it was hard to get our minds
on "the prosaic every-day problems.
Who could blame us for wanting to
cut short our shop talks when an Invi
tation came from Mr. J. A. Wilson,
owner, of a beautiful farm and ' ar
tesian spring near the hotel, t0 ad
journ to his place to eat muscadines
and watermelons?
After lunch automobiles were pro
vided by Shelby people to take the
party to Kings Mountain battle
ground. The editor of The News-
Herald was the guest on this trip of
Mr. and Mrs. A. P. Weathers. Arriv
ing at the historic spot we had point
ed out where the British and Ameri
can troops were stationed in that de
cisive battle of the Revolution. Re
membering our own county's part in
this battle and the encampment at
Council Oak, near Morganton, as the
brave over-mountab men marched to
join the group against Ferguson, gave
added interest to the visit. On' an
other page is given in full an interest-'
ing address delivered on the moun
tain by Editor G. G. Page, reproduced
because of the interest that every
North Carolinian should feci In that
great battle which meant so much to
America. ; Returning by way of
Kings Mountain Editor Page was host
to the party at one of the up-to-date
drug stores of the town.
In the evening a banquet was given "
et the Cleveland Springs hotel by
the Cleveland Star, of which Mr. Lee
B." Weathers is editor and at which
Hon- Clyde R. Hoey, former , editor
and congressman, was the principal
speaker. An elegant five-course din
ner was served. After Mr, Hoey"s ad
dress the editors present were asked
to tell of outstanding developments In
their own counties, Mr. R. E. Price,
of Rutherfcrdton, president of the as
sociation, acting as toaslmaster. The
presence of Miss Annie Miller, social
editor" of the Starmembers of the
mechanical force of that paper and of
a number of prominent Shelby people
added much to the pleasure of the oc
casion. ' f';
. The Cleveland Springs hotel, which
was just recently completed, is .ev
erything that could be desired' in a
good hotel and is ideally located. The
healing, healthful . qualities of the
half-dozen or more mineral springs
located, there, will; doubtless attract "
visitors from far and wide. It is a
restful, beautiful place to spend a va
cation and the regret of one , who
must hurry away after a day and
night is that the call of the work-a-day
world forbids tarrying.
Shelby's hospitality won all our
hearts. For many of us it was a first
visit but we will be wanting to go
again. . .
. Like so many other towns in this
section,' it is pushing ahead with rap
Id strides. New buildings are going
up and prospects, say the citizens,
look mighty bright.
The route home gave a lay-over be
tween trains of several hours in Lin
colnton, which like Shelby and Mor
ganton, is experiencing a building
boom. A new court house to cost
$225,000 is under construction and
everywhere there ' are evidences of
push and progress. '
It wasr altogether a very interesting
trip, well worth taking.
We want you to see our line of rugi
and art squares before you buy.
