STORM TEARS UP
A GRAND STAND
SEVERAL HURT AT FOREST
CITY ..
Hardest Wind and Rain Ever ex
perienced, Declare Many In
jured Taken to Hospital
A sudden wind and rain storm
tore the roof off the Forest City
grand stand Wednesday afternoon
and about 15 people were caught un
der it as it crashed to the ground,
several being seriously injured.
, The seriously injured, according to
information received yesterday from
Forest City, are Johnson, Caroleen
econd baseman, who has a broken
leg; Brewer, Forest City shortstop,
who suffered several broken ribs; Wil
liam Harrill, aged 14, who was pain
fully bruised; and Harold Long, who
also suffered severe bruises.
Caroleen and Forest City were
playing ball when the storm came up.
The rain was one of the hardest ever
experienced in this part of the coun
try, according to reports. The players
and all folks on the sidelines got
der the shelter of the grandstand. Urn
pire Pete Holland, who stayed on the
field, seems to have been the first to
notice the peculiar formation of an
approaching cloud. He ran up to the
grandstand and warned the people to
get otu but the crowd remained, fear
ing a drenching. Immediately the
small cyclone struck the stand and
whirled the roof off. The injured
were mostly those who had gotten
under the edges of the roof, it falling
on their heads. Those seriously in
jured were taken to the Rutherford
hospital.
ITmnirfi Holland crabbed a niece of
plank and tried tp hold to it and stand
up. Failing, however, he lay down on
the ground. It was absolutely the
hardest wind he ever encountered, he

Lumber of The Law
Cause of Comment
Kp York World. . . i '
svm an.nno volumes in' 1908 the
Columbia University Law ibrary has
o-rown to 110.000 .volumes; It is in-
crennimr at the rate of 8.000 volumes
a year. Yet there are iri -the world
three law libraries even larger; and it
will surprise no one that they are all
in this country. They are the Law Li
brary of congress and those of Har
vard Law school and the New York
City bar association.
A law library contains many books
which are not technically law books,
yet the bulk of any such collection
and "bulk" is the right word is com
posed of statutes, trial reports, court
decisions and commentaries stating
or explaining the law. Besides the
national congress, forty-eight states
are sweeping the shelves' with enact
ments at a rate never before known
in history, and the interpreting courts
swell the mass. Europe is fortunate in
having no such collections, nor any
need of them.
Dean Stone, President Butler and
the trustees are urging a movement
to place the Columbia Law Library
ahead of its rivals in the number of
titles. The ambition is a worthy one;
but it . would be well for the country
if it could be made less difficult to
keep up with the presses. Fewer stat
utes better considered, and much les-.
ptolixity in court proceedings for the
printer's benefit, would be a public
boon. To this statement the great
lawyers of the country, from the chief
justice of the United States down,
have with solemn emphasis sub
scribed. As it is we, have too muny
law books.

streams of death dealinir flniil
the bowels of the earth.
The smiling, fruitful and thickly
populated slopes of the mountain uml
the surrounding Country have become
witn ghastly suddenness the land of
dreadful night, for the ashes and
smoke from the volcano at many
times hide the sun from sight.
Through the thick darknens. which
can almost be felt, glows the crim
son or the lava fire flowing from the
broken lips of the craters, extending
for miles and gradually crowlnc HarW
er as the molten mass cools and har
dens, until cracks and crevices appear
on the surface through which can be
seen bubbling lava from beneath.
as one approaches the volcano,
masses of fiery material thrown up
from the smaller crater can be seen;
ihey roll slowly down the mountain
side and above them are dense clouds
of smoke and vapor. One by one the
plendid homes and villas, where the
families in the neighborhood were ac
customed to spend the summer
months, are over borne and destroyed.
Five great tentacles of molten rock
and seveial small ones are stretching
out to gather in Linguaglossa and the
'.own seems helpless.
In fact it seems alreadv dead in its
mantle of black, suffocating ashes.
Up through the heavy smoke and
ash curtain an airplane occasionally
works its way, reporting back to the
threatened villages the progress of
the eruption.' .. .. ..
The only life in the town is pro
vided by the troops and the occasion
al processions of townspeople invok
ng the mercy of haven to save them
from the impending disaster.
The quantity of ashes emitted, by
the crater is now more abundant than
ever. It resembles gray face powder,
covering everything, penetrating ev
ery where, and burying the entire land
scape under a powdery blanket In
deed, the whole region has taken on a
note of mourning and sadness, which,
together with the oppressive heat,
gives the contry the aspect of dead
land. ,

Efird's Boosts Tovn
With Efird's Stores
The Ei'ird chain sale which lasts
during month of June is proving a
great success. While the sale is un
der way, a four page bargain sheet is
issued each week. The last issue car
ries n port from the 33. stores in the
3!)-link chain, showing a most grati
fying business. The paper also shows
a picture of the $700,000 store which
is nearing completion in Charlotte and
it is said to be one of the largest and
finest in the south. In regard to the
results of the sale in Shelby and the
Shelby territry, mnnager G. W. Neel-
cy is quoted as follows:
"Shelby is one of the prettiest and
fastest growing towns in the state
noed for its fine mineral water,
healthy climate, and hospitable peo
ple. The great success of the third an
nual Efird chain sale will be cred
ited to the good Too pie in and around
Shelby."
Cleveland county, of which Shelby
is the county seat, is one of the thrif
tiest and moit advanced counties in
North Carolina. The county is prin
cipally agricultural. Although it is at
the foothills of the Blue Ridge moun
tains, on the edge of the cotton belt,
s in the fourth largest coton produc
ing county in the state, producing last
vear over 40.000 bales, which at the
high price that prevailed, brought in
handsome revenue to the farmers
The county recently forged ahead of
any other North Carolina county in
butter production, the two co-operative
creameries payimr over a half
million dollars annually to the farm
ers for butT fat. Editor Wade Har
ris of the Charlotte Observer say
is the best averaged county in the
state from an agricultural standpoint,

to Worthies Slops Sold as
Whiskey to Public
Cm would think that printing la
bels for "bottled-ln-boml" whiskey in
the United tSates now would be about
as profitable as printing ice tickets
at the North Pole, but that doeent
seem to be the ease. Prohibition
agents in New York recently confis
cated several million such labels
which had been printed in that , city
and arrested thirteen people in con
nection with the business. ! Comir-g
nearer home, a man has just been
arrested in Concord for printing "bet-tlcd-in-bond"
labels. He had devised
an ingenious machine for . printing
them and had been turning them out
n large quantities. These labels nre
very valuable pieces of paper. In fact,
each is about as valuable as a $10
gold certificate. The p'ocodure, w
understand, is to take a little alcohol
put it in about a quart of water,
sweeten it and add coloring, jiasta a
"bottled-in-bond label on the bottle
and sell it for $10 or $15. Alcohol at
the rate of $53 a quait i a pretty

Wonderful New Drug
Is Given The World
Amazing Things Accomplished
in
Medicine by New Drug Called
Adrenalin.
Literary Digest.
Adrenalin, the drug which in reput
ed to have "brought back the dead to
life," is a life-saver rather than a life
restorer, according to Scicncj Serv
ice's Daily Science News Bulletin
(Washington). It can stimulate a
heart suddenly overcome by some ac
cidental shock or strain, but it can noc
renew a physical frame exhausted
and poisoned by long disease. Such
also is the official opinion of the Jour-
nal of the American Medical associa
tion, as expressed in an editorial. We
read:
'The power of the suprarenal
glands, of which adrenalin is the ex
tract, to raise blood-pressure by caus
ing powerful contraction of the mus
cular walls of the blood-vessels has
been known for many years. The
glands nre small, two in number, and
situated just above the kidneys. Their
active principle, causing stimulation
of the muscles of the heart and blood
vessels, was isolated in the period
from 1901 to 1903 by several chemists,
and called adrenalin.
"Recent publicity given to Us use
in reviving persons apparently dead
has recalled attention to earlier re
torts of a similar nature. After sev
al cases had been reported, two Ger
man scientists in 1910 experimented
with dogs whose hearts had ceased to
beat after the blood-vessels leading
from the organ had been tied. They
ound that when adrenalin was in
jected directly into the heart there
was a strong contraction of its mus
cles and a rapid rise of the blood-
pressure, but if the injection were
delayed until all the body functions
Had apparently stopped and until mas
sage of the heart and forced breath
ing of oxygen were without effect,
the results were less satisfactory.
Turning from canine cases to hu
man
"During the war a German surgeon
injected adrenalin into the hearts of
three desperately wounded soldiers.
Improvement was only temporary, the
men subsequently dying of their
wounds.? Experiment, continued after
the war, and iri 1919 there was a re
port of forty-five cases, tit fifteen of
which adrenalin had revived the pa
tient from an apparently; hopelesa
condition, but in no case did the pa
tient survive longer than'eight hours.
"Two years ago a German surgeon
eported the reviving by mean of the
drug of a woman who had 'collapsed'
while being operated upon, and was so
far gone that even direct massage of
the heat through the operation wound
failed to start it going again. Six
minutes had elapsed when the drug
was injected. Improvement In the
heart sounds was noticed in ten sec
onds, breathing was soon resumed,
and four weeks later the woman was
discharged as cured.
"A case fully as remarkable was
described in March of this year by
Dr. Carl Bodon, attending physician
at the American legation at Budapest.
He was called to treat a man 66 years
old. anisrently dying of a heart at
tack. While the doctor was applying
the usual strong remedies the patient
seemed to die, lying relaxed anil with
even his lips of a death-like pallor
and with his heart action and breath
ing apparently ended. The drug was
immediately injected Into the heart.
In forty-five seconds the heart-beat
was again audible to the stethscope.
breathing began, and two hours later
a mil . .
consciousness was resiorea. inree
months later the man aeemed entirely
well. ' ,
"As the result of these cases and
ninety others reported by Dr. Bobon
the virtues and limiations of the new
treatment are apparent It is nt
be used in hopeless cases, as death
from cancer or tuberculosis, where
the whole body is poisoned by the di
sease. It is to be used when the heart
stops during an operation as the re
sult of shock or because of abnormal
sensitiveness to some drug, or general
ly in every case where we know the
patient 'could have lived II tne iatai
state had not developed." -
The Journal concludes:
"Adrenalin will cause contractions
in a heart even after it has been re
moved from the body in which it rest
ed: but that is a far different matter
than the restoration of life when that
intangible thing known as the spirit
has passed away.

Mr: John Hamrick of the Boiling

Dilo cotton planter 47 years old that
he purchased from Josh Beam ant'
has planted cotton seed with it every
year since he bought it. It did tin
best work this year it has since in
got it. He paid $14.'50 for it when hi
bought it and was warned by some of
the skeptical not to try every new
thing that came along.
Mr, Hamrick says that this cotton
planter attracted almost as much at
tention when he first bought it as tht
automobile did when it firs came an'
people would come for miles to see it
The planter has a stick drive instead
of a chain drive and was one of tlx
first dozen planters shipped in the
county at this time.
Mr. Hamrick is one of the largest
and best farmers in Cleveland county
having one thousand acres in one

that he takes care of his tools when
he can keep a cotton planter 47 years.
