Shelby is to have a full time public .school nurse. This was definitely de cided following a meeting of Shelby physicians at the hospital Monday night, where it become known that the funds for this beneficial work had been raised by the Woman’s club and the joint mission study classes of the Shelby churches. This means that another forward step in a mod . ern school system for the better in terests of the coming generation has been realized after considerable con templation. For the newly -create1 and responsible position Miss Irma Bowman, one of the most capable nurses in the state, was the unani mous selection. She will enter upon Her newi duties Monday. January 7. .'i»ve marica in Spring. Tho movement for a public school nurse was smarted at a meeting of the local Kiwanis club last spring, when the needs of a nurse were pre sented by I)r. E. B. Lattimore. At that time ways and means for pro viding a nurse were not in evidence, and nothing more was done in the matter until this fall when the ne cessary funds were raised by the wo man’s club and the mission Study classes, organization at all times in terested in the bettering of their town. Monday night at a meeting of the local physicians the plan was heartily endorsed and all were agreed that Miss Bowman was the best fit ted for the position. The medical so ciety appointed a committee, compos ed of Drs. Houser, Lattfrnore and Mitchell, to assist the school board, superintendent and Miss Bowman in planning the exact work to be carried on. One of the first taskV facing the new school nurse will be weighing and measuring all the-children of the school to discover underweights and note any other physical defects that might need the attention of a physi cian. Among the details of her other work will be lectures to the children on personal hygiene. A Very Capable Nurse. Miss Bowman, who is the daugh ter of Mr. J. T. Bowman, is regarded as one of rpost efficient and intelli gent nurses in North Carolina or any where in thi$ sectionof the country. Following heh graduation at the New York city hospital she gained consid erable experinece in practical nursing and later took; post-graduate work in leading New; York. Philadelphia, Baltimore and Rochester hospitals. Her duties as a school nurse will not be unfamiliar as she at one time heiti a similar position in the city schools of Lynchburg, Va, Shelby Schools Open Following Holidays The Shelby schools opened Wed nesday after the Christmas holidays with a very creditable attendance con sidering the inclement weather. Hol iday merriment and the youthful in terest in the Kris Kringle period was in evidence but by Thursday practi cally the entire school had “buckled down” to the regular routine. Very fewr changes have been made since the first term according to Superin tendent I. C. Griffin. Building Improvments. Amonc the improvements noted at the re-opening of the city schools fol lowing the holiday vacation was .the almost completed work of re-model ling the junior high, or grammar school, building. The entire work of remodelling is near completion and the heating system and sewerage has already been installed. The building is now modernized throughout, com pares favorably in appearance with any of the new structures, speaking well for the business sagacity of the school board. The wooden building constructed during the war at a cost of $12,500 has been brick veneered, heating and lighting system and sewerage in stalled and made a modern school building at a cost of around $7,500 or a total cost of somewhere near $20,000, it being estimated that a similar structure entirely erected now would have cost at least $40,000. The building, which is two stories, contains eight class rooms, the larg est rooms of any in the city school buildings. LADY CHIROPR AJL'TIC IN OFFICE OF DR. JARRETT Dr. E. C.

Reflect* Growth of Shelby. h reiglit receipts can be and are u*ed to gauge the growth of a town, because increased population and in dustry means increased freight busi ness, ingoing and outgoing, and is uually about on the same plane with the growth of a town. Estimating oil this basis Shelby has grown about j one-seventh larger during one year, 1923. Freight receipts at the local railway freight stations during 1923 show an approximate increase of one seventh over those of 1922. Combined freight receipts at the Sonthern and Seaboard stations in 1923 reached $626.800 91, as compar i "d w;th $537,988.09 during 1922. | Freight receipts at the Southern dur ing 1923 amounted to $335,856.14 or $53,244 81 more than the $282,611.33 of 1922. Seaboard freight receipts during 1923 were $290„944.77 or $35, 657.01 more than the receipts of 1922, which were $255,377.76. According to these figures the combined increase i in freight receipts of 1923 over 1922 | was $88,812.82.

Cleveland county termed this "year as the “typical agricultural county of the state because of her farming program is no sluggard in her educa tional program and ranks among the leading counties in the state in her school work according to facts se cured yesterday from the office of the county superintendent, J. C. New ton. Enrollment figures in the rural and city schools of the county for the school year of 1922-23 show that near 12,000 children, more than the combined population of Shelby and Kings Mountain, are attending school. The building program of the county schools is practically on par with that of ar.y county in the state, while Cleveland stands among the leaders in accredited high schools. In Cleveland county there arc 09 rural wh'te schools and 28 colored with a total enrollment of 8,’174. This enrollment is divided as follows: ele mentary schools, 6.102; high schools. 597; colored schools, 1,716. An esti mated combined figure for the en rollment of Shelby and Kings Moun tain schools is 2,800, making a grand total of 11,274. Approximately 250 teachers arc employed in the rural schools of the couhty. In the county there are four consolidated schools. Piedmont, Fairvimk’, Union and Beams Mill, with an average attend ance of about 1,200. These se'nooV. operate 10 trucks in transporting chil dren in the outlying sections to and from school. High Schools Stand Out. That the county is not standing still and is promised a future unex celled by any past records is evi denced by the number of high school graduates last year. In the commen cement of 1923, two hundred and fifty boys and girls, for the major part products of the county, graduated from high school. This is a remark able record as not many years back there was no high school in the county that could boast that com bined attendance. The graduating classes this year promise to surpass last year’s record and will no doubt reach the 300-mark. In the county there are five acredited high schools and four junior high schools, three of the acredited high schools being ru ral schools. With five accredited high schools scattered over eleven town ships it is now possible for every boy and girl in the county to be in reasonable and accessible reach of good high school facilities. One of the foremost counties in North Car olina in accredited high schools and high school facilities is something for the people of the county to well be proud of. Building Program. A tour over the county and a visit to school buildings will convince any one that Cleveland has caught the vision of the state’s great educational improvement wave. Last year $65,000 was placed in handsome new brick school buildings. This year, 1923-24 over $100,000 will be put in more new brick buildings. An idea of the upkeep of the coun ty school system may be gained from the following figures. Taxable prop erty in Cleveland is set at $35,850,411 A tax of 46 cents is levied for schools, which, less the sheriff’s com mission produced during the past year $160,189. In addition the costs of operating and equipping the schools for the year was $27,000. The expense for operating and equipping the schools is derived from poll tax, dog* tax, fines and forfeitures.

WOODSON. Aviator Goes Good On His “Late Date” I Flier Who Ijinded Near Here Starts Return Trip. Mechanician in f Shelby Tuesday. “Late Dates” are not so bad after all. Capt. W .H. Hale the San An tonio flier, who landed near Boiling Springs Christmas day while trying to get to Asheville and his sweetheart now seems headed for a trip in the matrimonial ship, which will probably be easier held in correct route than in his own trusty plane. Sam Rogers, mechanic for Capt. Hale in his pre-niiptia' tour through the clouds from San Antonio to Ashe ville, was in Shelby Tuesday en route back to Asheville for the hop-ofT on the return trip, which was made Wednesday. Mr. Rogers could not understand the Greenwood story of a missing compass and air map de laying a Yuletide date, for he was of the opinion that they never landed anywhere near the South Carolina town,, although he admitted dropping out of the heavens to old Mother Earth at Boiling Springs and several other towns in this section while en deavoring to make the mountain city.

Fml and Perry Rice, brothers, two of the participants in the brutal at tack made upon State Senator Sam f. Lattimore on the night after Christ mas following a collision of automo biles near Thickety, S. C.( have been given a preliminary hearing ut Gaff ney and are being held for th • March term of court there under a $i,000 bond each. The charge prefer red against them is assault ard bat tery with intent to kill. • Both men have been unable to arrange the re quired security and are being held in the county jail at Gaffney. At the *-hejutng, or rather investi gation, conducted before Captain J, n. Bell, Gaffney magistrate, fyi, Blackwell and Clyde Skinner, two of 'he party made statements causing them to- be released until March term of court under their own- recog nizance as material witnesses. These statements are being withheld for the time be.ng by the magistrate, but they are understood to substantiate the story of Senator Lattimore. The wo Rices were not put on the stand and have given no testimony except for the statement by fine of the brother? that they only acted in self defense. It is thought likely that they are not aware of the testimony given by young Blackwell and Skin ner and that they will not learn of the statements until they are present ed at the regular court hearing. “Doc* Blackwell, the fifth member of the party assailing Mr. Lattimore and his driver, has not yet been ap prenenaeu, but when arrested it is presumed the same charge will be preferred against him as against the Rices, ,as the testimony of young Bl&ctafell, his nephew, and* Skinner, is alleged to have incriminated h'm by the statement that he struck the Cleveland man over the head with a portion of the running board while the others were scuffling. Other tes timony of the boys tends to lighten the charge.cagainst him. as they say he prevented one ofthe Rices shoot ing at the two men after the firsl shot had been fired. According to the Gaffney Ledger the Blackwells are of Appalachia, near Greer, while Skin ner is of the Holly Springs section of Spartanburg county. Senator Lattimore who has been at home several days after being dis charged from the City hospital at Gaffney, is able to be out, although it will be a considerable time before the wounds on his head fully heal. The bruises on his face and around his left eye have mended nicely ami with the exception of a numb feeling are giving no more trouble. Mr.- Lat timore and young Black who accom panied him seem fully satisfied that they would have been killed had not they made their get away when they did ,or had not young Blackwell and Skinner intervened. Old Bell Stand Is Replaced By New The old court hou;e bell .stand ha been replaced by a new iron stand and thereby hangs some history. The old wooden stand which stood at the top of the steps when8 the red brick court house was an ornament and in later years when it was an eyesore, has rotted so that it no longer can support the bell. The hell and "the stand had sounded many a call of court, children in celebrating hallo we’en have played their pranks with it .n the last three-quarters of a cen tury, the frolicsome boys and girls at their watchnight parties, have rung out the old and rung in the new many times and many a political gath ering has heen summoned by the old bell stand and the keen tones of its bell. The wooden stand was made from heart lumber and pegged to gether with wooden pegs. It has last ed three.quarters of a century or thereabouts, but now the old bell stand is rotten and weak from years of exposure and use, so it has been replaced by -a steel-stand which will no doubt last until today's children have died from old age.

The “court square,” wearing winter raiment Wednesday morning, was a thing of beauty.

Jealous Chauffeur Of Mabel Normand Shoots Wealthy Den ver Oil Operator. I on Angelo*, Calif., Jan. 2.—The mystery surrounding the shooting of Cortland S. Dines, Denver oil opera tor, by Horace A. Greer, chauffeur for Mabel Normand, film actress, in Dines’ apartment last night still was unsolved tonight, i nspite of various statements by Dines, Greer, Miss Nor mnnd and Miss Edna Purviance, an other screen actress, who were pres ent at the time. Officers handling the case declare themselves satisfied with the theory that Greer shot Dines in a fit of jealousy, despite the fact that Greer, who admits the shooting, says that war. not the reason. Greer says he pulled the trigger oa Miss Normand’s .25-caliber pistol, which for some reason he was carry ;ng, because Dines appeared about to hit him with a bottle following the chauffeur’s efforts to induce the ac ross to go home. Dines says he made no motion, and ?ave no indication that he was going to attack Greer, but he fails to throw any light from his side on the auto mobile driver’s motive Miss Purviance and the police, the latter also 'reporting the former’s alleged opinion, charge Greer with in fatuation for Miss Normand and inti mate jealousy was the c«use of the shooting. aii in Retirement. Miss Normand, in retirement, in her home, nursing what is described is an attack of appendicitis, is sce ne nobody and refusing to talk. Miss Purviance likewise has gone Into retirement and Mrs. Edith Burns companion and housekeeper for Miss Normand, has not been found. The police sought Mrs. Burns to question her as to a telephone conversation she Is said to have had with Miss Nor mand while the latter was in Dine’s i pertinent. As an offset to the theory that Greer was jealous of Dines’ atten tions to Miss Normand, is the report :n Hollywood circles and among Dines’ friends in Denver that he was engaged to marry Miss Purviance. Dines denied the rumor, saying he and Miss Purviance were only close friends But she did not deny it last night, and greeted Dines affection itely when she went to see him at the hospital. Dines is said to have a good chance to recover. Greer was questioned again today and reiterated the main details of. his oart in the shooting. Police said to night a formal complaint charging him with attempted murder would be filed tomorrow. “Mrs. Burns was in communication with Dines’ apartment,” Greer told the officers. “She told me as I stood nearby that she had heard Dines say that Miss Normand «ould not come come .1 went into a room where I knew she kept her gun, gr&bbed it and drove to place.” After arriving at the place, Greer told the officers he was kept waiting for several minutes in responses to his knock. He Was ‘“Peeved.” “I was peeved and cold,” said Greer ‘When 1 got in the room I asked that Miss Normand come with me. Dines sneered and reached for a bottle which stood on the table in the center of the room and I fired. I didn’t wait to see whether I had hit him, but rushed from the room, got in the car and drove to the police station. I did not see Mjss Purviance at the apart ment.” * Fine Ripe Tomatoes Supplied In January Mrs. W. H. Long has sent to The Star office a box of nice ripe toma toes. all sound and beautifully color ed. She did not send one or two, but a box full, indicating that her winter crop must be bountiful. It shows what can be done in winter gardens by those'who give the proper atten tion. It also shows that this climate, midwav between the north and south, is ideal for trucking. The Star is'in debted to Mrs. Long for her nice gift of out-of-season vegetables.
