FRIDAY DEC. 28, 1923.
Here’s hoping each and every one
had a happy Christmas and may the
New Year be one of prosperity full of
the better things of life.
New records are gradually added.
In addition to mak-ing a record crop of
cotton having the best fox dog in the
state and outstripping oui 99 sister
counties in the production of butter,
this has been a record, year in busi
ness for the merchants, Christmas eve
established a new record in the size
of the crowd gathered here in any
one single day and it looks now as if,
next year will be a record year in !
building in Shelby.
CALL FOR OUR FART.
It is learned on good authority that
the money might not be available ’li
the construction of the hard surface
road from Shelby to the Rutherford i
county line, beftig a part of the ,'h;u
lotte-Asheville highway. When
State Highway Commissioner Kistler
of Morganton was in Shelby at a
meeting of the Kiwanis club some I
months ago, he assured us that dur
ing his administration each county
could receive its pro rata part. He
estimated under this plan the county
would get enough to build at least
half of the road and expressed the
hope that enough more might be se
cured under Federal aid to make the
road a reality. This we were promis
ed and confidently expected until our
hopes were blasted a few days ago on'
an authorative report that Cleveland
would get no more hard- surface un
der the present arrangement. Ruth
erford county is in a similar plight,
but is making a vigorous complaint
to the state highway commission. If
we are to get the share we are entitl
ed to, some concerted effort should
be made at once.
Cleveland has gotten only 14 miles
of hard surface out of the state's road
fund,—a stretch from Kings Moun
tain to Shelby. Certainly we are just
ly entitled to and should by all means
have one main highway across the
county out of the state’s 65 million
dollar roade-building program.
NEW KECORDS ESTABLISHED.
A new high record in volume of
business done Was ''established (his
year by the Shelby merchants. All
report that their business has well ex
ceeded any previous year. Many of
them sold completely out of holiday
goods, while there is little carry-over
of fall and winter wearables. Profits
have been pleasing also. While the
goods were marked at a reasonable!
profit, business continued steadily
good throughout the year and mer
chants were able to turn their stocks
fast. The fall weather was ideal and
the early harvest started business off
in a most gratifying manner. Per
haps in volume, October ■ exceeded
either November or December. The
merchants had one great advantage
this year over that of the year 1019,
the high priced year everybody was
money-mad and peak prices prevail
ed. This year the prices were more
stable and merchandise coaid be re
place at or near the same level of
prices. Indications are that the pres
ent prosperity of the country has a
more solid foundation and is not apt
to .“deflate" like 1920 when every
body lost their earnings of 1919.
Not only do merchants jleclare that
this year was then* largest in history',
but Monday, (Christmas eve) was the
biggest single day on record. Anoth
er record was established in the crowd
that gathered here. By far it sur
passed in size any witnessed before.
All parking “space within two or three
blocks of the square in every direc
tion was filled. The number of auto
mobiles ran into the thousands. No
circus has ever drawn such an 1m
meuse throng of people as come on
Christmas eve.

CHIROPRACTIC
(KiRo-Prac-tic) is a now sci no1 of adjusting the cause of disease,
without drugs, based on a thorough Knowledge of the nervous sys
tem. Nerves which control th-» various functions of the body
emerge from small,openings between the bony segment of the
spinal column. A slight variation of the bones will cause pressure
on a nerve and cut or decrease the flow of mental impulses,
lowering the vitality and the power of resistance of the tissues, the
result of which is disease. *
The Chiropractic method is to adjust the abnormality, remove
the pressure by removing the cause and thus permit the nerve to
regain its normal si'/e and function, restoring health. If you are
ill and have tried everything also without results, throw aside pre
judice, try Chiropractic spinal adjustments and get well.
