THIS IS THRIFT WEEK—THE PURPOSE IS TO “TIGHTEN UP THE LOOSE WADS AND LOOSEN
UP THE TIGHT WADS,” SAYS THE LITERARY DIGE ST.
KIWANIANS TALK
VALUE OF THRIFT
TOPIC TAKEN UP BY FOUR
SPEAKERS.
County Fair Project To Be Dis
cussed By Representative
Gathering Thursday Night.
The Shelby Kiwanis club at their
weekly meeting Thursday night 'de
voted their program to “Thrift” ir
observance of Benjamin Franklin’s
birthday and the inauguration of
“Thrift Week” in Shelby and Cleve
land county .Supt. I. C. Griffin, the
new program committee chairman di
vided the evening’s program under
four sections with four speakers.
Prof. J. H. Grigg, principal of the
high school, was the first speaker
and devoted his time to some interest
ing statistics showing why thrift
should be taught in schools and the
value of sucbrteaching. From the
figures given by Mr. Grigg, naturally
incomplete tut approximately, it was
shown that there are only 310 regu
lar savers in the 1502 pupils in the
Shelby scnools, while there are 32?
regular wage earners. School chil
drens’ answers to the question of how
much they spend each week ranged
from 25 cents to five and six dollars.
According, to the speaker the greater
benefit of teaching thrift is not in the
intrinsic value of money saved but in
the habit formed, it being an a .
nowledged fact that habits formed by
children up to 16 years generally stick
with them through life.
Not having any money to spend
when a child and without the prac„.
cal experience of watching the spend
ing of children of his own Atto, ;y
D. Z. Newton brought out several val
uable and interesting points in his
talk on “How to Teach Thrift.” De
ploring the fact that there are chil
dren in the Shelby schools that spend
needlessly as much as $6 per week,
Mr. Newton was confident that the
best way to teach thrift was to with
hold the money that makes a spend
thrift. Illustrating his point “that the
more expensive the gift the less it is
appreciated,” the speaker explained
that when he was a boy a child was
far more gratified over a handful of
peanuts, in apple and perhaps a ba
nana for Christmas present than the
modern child is over a costly bicycle
or ring.
Rev. R. L. Lemons under his assign
ment of “Thrift and Character" ex
pressed clsarly the greater value of
thrift as it pertains to the moral side
of man. Thrift in every walk of life
is thrift in character. The opposite of
thrift is extravagance, one of the
greater detriment of morals and char
acter. Along the pathway of life there
are danger signs placed there through
extravagance that should be pointed
out to the child by the parent. Some
of these signs are the human wrecks
about us that knew not the meaning
of thrift but were ideal spendthrifts.
Furthermore, said Dr. Lemons, thrift
is not altogether in saving but in
spending and the manner of spend
ing that what is saved. Some people
know not sow to spend that which ha ^
been saved through thrift and in this
class is the miser, another danger
sign along the hurrying road of life.
Thrift produces character and char
acter is more necessary in our chil
dren than any instilled teaching.
“What the Banker can do to teach
Thrift,” or what they are doing to
teach thrift, was emphasized in a pa
per by William Lineberger, of the
Cleveland Bank and Trust cbmpany.
Containing interesting data Mr. Line
berger’s paper explained „ how banks
and building and loan associations
over the country are spending thou
sands of dollars in teaching other.-,
thrift in its manifold forms. Every
advertisement carried by these en
terprises teach thrift in some form.
They teach people to help themselves
rather than pity themselves and help
them put it over by taking the “can”
out of ‘“can’t.”
“County Fair Night.”
It was announced that plans were
practically complete for the “County
Fair Night’ to be held at the next
meeting Thursday evening. The, fair
proposition has been worked out as
far as possible through a committee
and Thursday evening the committee
will preesent to a representative
gathering of the county their scheme
for putting over a fair that will do
credit to the county. Attending the
meeting will be representatives of
the Kings Mountain chamber of com
merce and agricultural and civic
leaders from all sections of the coun
ty.
Prayer Meeting.

dist church Wednesday evening at

Praise Miss Henkel
In “The Forecast”
i The following article from The
Statesville Daily concerning Miss
Celeste Henkel, a neice of Mrs. S. E.
Hocy end who has visited here on
several occasions will be of interest.
“In a recent article, published in
one of the most widely-read of the
i national food magazines, “The Fore
cast,” and entitled “Making a Country
Over,” the work of Miss Celeste Hen
kel as home demonstration agent lor
Iredell county, North Carolina, is
commended as one of astounding suc
cess, and she herself is referred to ns
the “rejuvenetcr of Iredell '-ounty”
and the “efficient campaign loader”
in a drive to make farm life in Ine
county attractive and interesting.
The article, whi-h is written by
Miss Grace Marian Smith in the Jam
uary issue of the magazine, covers
three pages of the big periodical and
recounts the story of a contest ended
last year and conducted throughout
the county by the schools and farm
families, under the direction of Miss j
Henkel. The story is illustrated by
pictures of some home and school
scenes, typical of Iredell county. ' A
photograph of Miss Henkel is shown
also
Miss Smith’s article tells the re
markable story of a still more remark
able achievement. It deals with the
; rejuvenation of a county and tells how
a woman discovered the secret of in
ducing the young people of Iredell to
remain on the farm, making the farm
home more attractive and reviving a
real interest from farming as an oc
cupation The county is designated as
one “pre-eminent among the counties
of the State of North Carolina."
Of the success of Miss Henkel’s ex
periment, there is little doubt when
one has read facts as they are publish
ed. Mrs. T. F. .Johnson of the State
hoard of education, quoted In the arti
cle, has this to say of the work:
“Miss Henkel created that which de
veloped beyond her most ambitious
conception. The good accomplished
was almost unbelievable. She secured
the atteition of every man( woman
and child in Irdell county. Everyone
worked—everybody in the county.”
A short editorial in “The Forecast”
contains words of praise for Miss
Henkel’s work, declaring that the se
cret of her success comes from a
knowledge of the fact that no person
will “stray from a pleasant home and
an interesting occupation.”
Perhaps the chief reason for Miss
Henkel’s success comes, however, from
a thorough knowledge of those with
whom and for whom she works, so un
ceasingly and so tirelessly.
For the past six years, this very
! capable executive has devoted much
of her t me to the work as home dem
onstration agnt for the county. She
has also served as assistant superin
tendent of county schools which posi
tion she holds now, along with her
other duties. Her ability as an execu
tive, together with her spirit of pro
gressivtness, is a happy combination.’

TRY STAR WANT ADR.
Miss Bostick Gives A
Summary Of Her Work
Visits the Out-stations in China and
Reports Gratifying Progress
In Mission Work.
Written for The Star.
In spite of the bandits and their
constant disturbances we visited
eight of our nine out-stations the first
of the year and had classes and meet
ings with the women. Everywhere we
went there was keen interest shown,
many desiring to join the classes to
learn more about Him who alone can
take away our sins and give peace in
the midst of robbery and unrest. In
April our nice new church was dedi
cated and at the same time we held
several days meetings, my brother,
G. P. Bostick and Pastor McNeill Po
teat helped us. There were fifty-one
baptisms at the close of this meeting,
there b"ing an equal number of men
and women in this baptism till one
old sister got impatient waiting her
torn and jnmned in and so had to wait
till another time for her baptism. We
had a class for the study of Marki
just after this meeting closed and had
a very good interest. Many of the old
sisters who stayed for this are the
ones who take their Bible and hymn
book in a basket and go about from
nlace to place telling others of what
Jesus has done for them and many
others are thus led to an interest in
the Gospel. We have a day schoo'
here on our compound for boys and
girls. The Bible is taught daily and
they help much in the singing in our
church as rMs. Townshend teaches
singing to them regularly. They have
an organization of Royal Ambassa
dors and Sunbeams and meet each
Sunday. The boys make out these
weekly programs and carry them out.
very creditably. We have suggested
Psalm 46:1-19 for them to learn by
heart and it is encouraging to hear
them repeat these werds from the
Bible from time to time. One of the
boys helps his mother at night with
the little hook s^e is studying, hoping
to learn thus to read her Bible, and
many mothers come to hear the
Gospel because these pupils hear in
the schools end beg them to come. We
enrolled 78 boys and 39 girls this
year. We have five schools in the
country, at cur station, out at some of
these placVs we Wave no one to look
after the work and so interest lags as
as we can only visit them now and
then. We have the nine out stations,
but only ^our evangelists to care fot
the nine. One old brother who is not
at all learned has done a good work in
going regularly to a group of inter
ested ones nnd holding meetings. That
is the only place I have been permit
to visit this fall, as the magistrate
was not w'dling that we go to the
country on account of the bandits,
and I was greatly encouraged at .the
interest there. They subscribed means
to help in getting a better meeting
place while I was out there. They
had been meeting in one of the Chris
tian’s home. Many around there
seemed to have been healed in answer
to this old man’s prayers and my
own faith or lack of faith was re
buked by (heir earnest, childlike faith.
The middle of November we had
our autumn meeting when Mr. Harris
from Kaifeng was with us and did
some good preaching. There were 17
bantisms.
Though cut off from the epuntry
work, I have been able to get into
many homes in the city and we have
fine attention from these at our Wed
nesday and Sunday meetings. Fridays
we give to teaching those who want
to learn to read their Bibles. “Pray
ye the Lo-d of the harvest .to send
forth laborers.”

Lived 2 Weeks After
Husband Came Back
Woman, Whose Husharul Deserted
Her for Another and Then Came
Hick, Died Last Tucrd.iy.
iU!?.ab'"h (-rty Independent.
Mrs .Richard Ward is d?ad; she died
at the home of tier parents near Shi
loh. in C-amden county, Tuesday, ac
cording to reports reaching this city.
Mr Ward vas the wife of the Rich
ard J. Ward who ran away with an.
other woman on November 15, 1923,
and who returned to his wife on
( hristmas eve day begging for for
giveness. She- lived to enjoy the re
turn <f her fool hu..’ and only two
weeks.
The den' h of Mrs. Ward grieves
and per j lex--* the plain, wholesome,
religious-minded people o flhe Shi*
loh section. On November 15, 1923 her
husband, Richard J. Ward, abandoned
her and her two small children, tnk
,ihg with h hn from the community
Mattie Simpson, a woman of 25 sum
mers who had never had a beau. Mat
tie Sim; son had lived with her moth
er and an age(j stepfather next door
to the Wards. Only a wire fence sep
arated them.
A more experienced man than
Ward might have loved hs next door :
ne ghhor and stuck to his wife; but j
Ward was of a religious temperament j
and got a notion that God Almighty i
sanctioned his love for the girl. The
C*rl was relijr/ou.:, too, and when I
Ward struck the chord arcusing her
sex life for the fir. t time, she
thought the tingling of her blood was I
the prompting of the Holy Spirit and
the fultter of her heart the rustling
of angels’ wings.
Richard Ward and Mattie Simp
son went away in a Ford coupe and
stayed six weeks, going Elinor Glynn
and her prince c’n.rming just three
weeks better —or worse. Ward is
only thirty-five and could stand six
weeks of it. But six weeks tells on
most men around thirty-five, and in
six weeks Ward was sated, limp and
penitent. The girl may have been
worse off than that.
Anyway, the pair came hack in the
dawn of Christmas eve morning, pro
fessing their shame and penitence
and asking to be forgiven. Mattie
J5imp_Son was Ukeo back by her muth
er and Ward %va- joyfully received by
his w'fs ,who at that time was ex
tremely ill and pining away with
grief. Mrs. Ward had been an invalid
since the birth of her last child six
months ago. There is one other child,
a boy six years old.
Because of the pitiful condition of
Ward’s wife, most folks in the neigh
borhood were glad that he came back
and were willing to give him another
chance to make good, for the sake of
the poor, sick wife. But now Mrs
Ward is dead and they say that senti
ment is changing. There are those
who dare suy that Ward should marry
the other girl, and others who say
that Ward should pick up his children
and move away to some other com
munity to live down the shame. That’s
why the death of Mrs. Ward grieves
and perplexes so many Shiloh folks
Blacksburg Election
Before High Court
The Blacksburg municipal election
ease was argued Tuesday before the
South Carolina supreme court. Attor
neys for J F Belue declared nominat
ed at the election for mayor on March
27t 1923, argued for reversal of an
order sigr.el by Circuit Court Judge
Johnson at the request of C. W. Whis
onant, who opposed Belue, which or
der held the election “fraudulent, null
and void.” Attorneys for Whisoijant
contested the appeal.
The principal contention ’ upon
which Whisonant based his contest of
the election, was stated in the brief
as follows:
“Although the town council had de
clared J. F Belue elected mayor over
his opponent, C W Whisonant, by a
vote of 178 to 85 for Whisonant, 166
qualified electors of said town swore
that they had voted in the election of
March 27, and that they had cast
their ballots for C W. Whisonant.”
The election in which both Whiso
nant and Belue were candidates for
mayor was hdld, the managers of elec
tion announcing Belue’s victory by a
vote of 178 to Whisonant’s 85. The
following day Belue, D. P. Smith and
Henry Jacumin, members of the old
council met and declared themselves
and certain others elected as mayor
and aldermen, respectively, in the el
ection of the preceding day.

High Quint To Play
6 Games This Week
Art- Scheduled to Meet Strong Boiling
Spring Five Here on Thursday
Afternoon.
Ilic Shelby high cagers this week
began a strenuous schedule of games
in preparation for the state elimina
tion contest, which they are now ex
pected to enter. Every game possible
has been hocked to give them the ben
efit of actual experience to offset
their handicap of practicing on an
outdoor court. Three of this week’s
six games will be played here and at
leiist two of them'are expected to be
nip-and-tuck affairs and should draw
a good attendance.
Monday the highs journeyed to
Cheryville t omeet the outfit they de
feated here last week, while they
play today in Forest City with the
fast five put out by that school. Wed
nesday the I.attimore quint plays the
first home game of the week here. Al
though not as strong as some of the j
others on the week’s schedule the I
game is expected .to be ha-wl fought
T hursday the strong Boiling Springs
court team plays a return game here.
Th s is expected to be one of the
closest gam as to be’ played on the
Shelby" court, as last week Gurley’s'
qu.nt was barely able to nose out of
the prep outfit by one point. Only the
referee’s whistle decided the contest
and Thursday’s is doped to be of equal
fierceness. Friday the highs go to
Tryon to return a game to the only
team that has proved their superior
this season. On Saturday the fast
moving Piedmont quint plays here,
and the game is ranked second only
the Bo ling Strings game.
Coach Gurley realizes that it is to
be a hard week for his players but
considers it their best means of mak
ing a crediti.Lie showing when elimin
ation contest begins.

SOITH LIVES AGAIN IN
CEREMONY SATURDAY.
Old Rebel Yell Leaps Forth WUh
Coming Of Great Memorial
Dream.
The sooth attain Saturday honored
Its :mmortal leader when high up the
granite wall of tSone Mountain in
Georg a thoie was unveiled the sculp,
turod head cif Robert E. Lee.
I he dream of a great memorial be
gan to come true when a bright broad
American flag was lifted and gather,
cd as a glowing tforonet upon the ma_
jestic brow of Lee, looking out from
the sheer wall of Stone Mountain—
the first of the mighty group planned
by Cutzon Borglum, the sculptor,
oftcr the dream of Mrs. Helen Plane,
a daughter of the old south.
Face Upon Living Stone.
The skies were tenderly gray, and
even the chill breeze out of the north
seemed tempered, while a trace of
rain was in the air, as the d'stinguish
ed gentlemen of the old aouth, gave
the signal for the thunder of granite *
boulders down the sheer face of the
mountain, and then the alow lifting of
-he national emblem that disclosed
the face of the great leader, sculptur
ed in heroic bas-relief upon the liv
ng stone.
The dawn of a great dream com.
.ng true lighted the towering granite
wall of*the mountain, and under it«
more than royal coronet the calm
face of Lee looked out across the gray
landscape, keeping watch now and
forevermore over the southland that
he loved and the nation that he served
• A pause of reverence, of homage
—and then the roll of the hand-clap,
ping swept the hillside to the moun
tain and echoed back again, and its
light sprav .touched here and there
with a true old "rebel yell", must
have reached to the first member of
that mighty group of heroes to come
forth from the living granite. Then
like the resounding surf on a rock-*
bound coast ,the clang of a thousand
motor horns went rolling down the
mile-long lircs, heading in along tha

Since before noon a pilgrimage had
been under way, from Atlanta and
from all around, heading for Stone
Mountain. The road3 were dark with
motor cars and persons on foot, seek
in gthat gigantic shrine. So great was
the press of vehicles that a line more
than a mile long never reached the
scene of the unveiling—hundreds
back of hundreds of motor cars still
were headed toward the place, stop
ped in their tracks, when the first
‘rickle of cars back to th* city began,
at 3:0 o’clock, after the brief and im
nressive exercises, and the address by
Dr. Durham.
It was estimated that anywhere
from 10 to 20 thousand persons set
out to attend the unveiling; and if
many failed of their object, most of
them were in their places on the hill
side, facing the greatmonolith, when
Hollins Randolph, president of the
Memorial association, stood up with
bared hea l to introduce Dr. David
Marx, who delivered the brief and im
pressive invocation.
