Charlotte News. Back a few years ago when Meck lenburg county was making from 30, 000 to 35,000 bales of cotton annually, Cleveland county up yonder was mak ing so little that nobody cast a squint in that direction. The production was too small to mention. Cleveland, of course, was at that time mrfking some other things, producing good corn and some other staple crops, but cottor. culture was not at that time thought to be feasible as a dominant occupa tion in that section. When Mav Gardner and Senator Lat timorc were down here the other day Mr. Gardner coming to address the Rot»ry club, they were rather puffed up over the comparative showings of Cleveland and Mecklenburg in 1923 in the matter of cotton production, and when they had recited the figures, it lay not in our mouth to make adverse reply. They had good cause for vaunt ing themselves. The past year, Mr. Gardner was saying, Cleveland county cultivated 40,000 acres in cotton and the cen sus reports the production to have been 40,000 bales, a bale to the acre as an average. Mecklenburg, on the other hand, according to the same census author ities, cultivated 47,000 acres in cotton and produced 19,000 bales, less than a bale for every two acres. We tried to dissuade the visiting Clevelanders from chiding this coun ty on its poor comparative showing by remarking upon the worn-out con dition of Mecklenburg lands, that the soil here had been making cotton so long and continuously that it had gotten tired, and was resting up, whereas Cleveland soil has only with in the last few years been tested with the exacting culture of cotton. They pooh-hooded us! Cleveland county land was so poor a few years ago, they told us that pine trees could not find sustenance enough in it to get rooted, it was so filled with gulleys and waste places that it presented the aspect of a des ert and the only way, they contend ed. that it has been redeemed to the cultivation of.cotton has been by dil igent, scientific farming, by building into the soil thrdough the use of le gume crops those elements of fertil ity which cotton require. The truth is that these gentlemen not onv have cause to be proud of the accomDlishments of Cleveland county as a cotton producing center, but they ought to fpel elated, also, thatthey have been ehieflv responsible for the new agricultural leadership given their community. There are no better farmers in North Carolina than Senator Latti more and Max Gardner. Those who think the latter is merely one of the Cleverest ieuows in tne state, one oi its most astute lawyers and most bril liant political constellations are mis taken. Max Gardner’s repertoire con sists also of a caDacity to farm that has been the wonder and admiration of his neighbors and that has attract the attention of outsiders He has been a veritable Moses,in Cleveland county, leading in the way of the restoration of. worn-out soils for profitable crop production through sensible, scientif ic methods of cultivation, and what he has accomplished on his own acre age and what he has aided in getting his Cleveland county neighbors to ac complish is an object-lesson in mod ern farming to which the whole state, and particularly planters of Meck lenburg, might will give heed and obedience. BAPTIST CHURCH MAKING FINE PROGRESS HERE NOW C. J. Woodson in Biblical Recorder. The First Baptist church of Shelby, under the leadership of its genial, cul tured and consecrated pastor, Rev. R. L. Lemons, is making fine progress. Last Sunday morning the capacious auditorium overflowed, and the at tendance upon the Sabbath school was well nigh a record-breaker. Brother J. C. Newton is the accomplished super intendent. Max Gardner’s class num bered 94. Max is developing into a great Sunday school teacher and his exposition of the lessons is intensely felieitious and illuminating. Brother Lemmons is a deeply spiritual man, and his suaviter in modo makes him immensely popular. In the last analys is spirituality is the thing that counts and is a priceless crowning, charac teristic. Mr. Louis Forney has returned to his work in Pennsylvania, after spend ing some time at his home here. ATTENDANCES!] IN LOCAL SCHOOLS Over 1500 Students Enrolled With Good Attendance Record.

Mr. Putnam Has Received Call To Ceoleemee Church. Ia Clev eland County Man. Rev. D. F. Putnam, who has been pastor of the Cherryville Baptist church for more than seven years and also has rural charges in Cleveland county, offered his resignation after the morning service at* Cherryville last Sunday. This action on the part of the pastor came as a distinct sdr 1 prise to the congregation as a whole, the relationship of the pastor and people being harmonious. After some consideration his resignation was ac cepted with the understanding that it was the wish of tj>e pastor and in no sense because of any feeling or sen timent for a change among the mem bership. Mr. Putnam who is a native of Clev eland county, has been in the pastor ate more than 12 years of the 31 since its organization and during the last seven years, which have been stren uous ones for him. He has done a no table w’ork in erecting the new $75. 000 building at Cherryville. Consid ering the financial ability of the church this was a stupendous task, but with a leader of such undoubted courage the work has gone forward in a remarkable manner. Mr. Putnam’s resignation is to take effect March 3. He has received a call to the Cooleemee Baptist church, one of the most progressive dhurches of the state. Not only the Baptist people but those of all churches in Cherryville, regret losing lVlr. Putnam. He has al ways worked for the betterment of the town in every w'ay, ever being on the side of the right in all public questions. Cherryville is better be cause of his influence. The best wish es of all will go with him and his wife into their new field of labor. FINE, GET CHEAP MAGAZINE FOR FRUIT. GARDEN AND HOME Mr., R. L.

Our forefather., paid a dear price for freedom, and freedom in still a costly article as Clarence Taylor of South Shelby is no doubt aware. Ten months of toil was the price Judge Falls set on two days of Taylor’s free dom. Last \\ ednesday, Taylor appeared before the recorder on the charge of retailing. With the evidence in, Judge Falls imposed a sentence of eight months in jail, to be worked on the "ouritv roads. The sentence did not appeal to the defendant and he enter ed a notica of an appeal to a higher court. Bond was fixed at $500, and triven. Tha case would evidently await the next session of Superior court, hut Friday evening Deputy Sheriff Mike Austell and Officer McBride Poston were “motoring” up in the Fallston section and their little tour of the county again brought Taylor into the dragnet of the law. Near Fallston the two officers no ticed a Ford moving serenely Shelby wares, out Witnout a number, inves tigating the missing number they found the driver to be Taylor. At Fallston they hailed him, but the only reply they received was a little speed ier chugging of the Ford motor. Then two Fords began to chug rather hur riedly. Chickens or anything else did not have any caling business in the road bewteen Fallston and Beams Mill about that time in the evening. Near Beams Mill the leading car took a side road. The second car followed suit. The officers saw a gallon can plunge from \he car in front and a little later cam* upon the car witlfeut a driver, but the driver appeared Sat urday morning and plead guilty. Aft er all the charges Were entered: re ceiving, transporting and carrying concealed wed^on; Judge Falls added 10 ihonths more onto the eight dished out Wednesday, and th6 combined sentence now reads one and one-half years, and no appeal entered. “Thou shall not covet thy neigh bors chickens, evep be. they Rhode Island Reds,” is a new “don’t” added to the list of regulations for Cleve land county people by the county re corder, Saturday ; morning James Davis colored, and his wife, Martha, were before the recorder, charged with the larceny of two Rhode Island Red hens. The larceny was evidently plain, the motive perhaps vague, but Judge Falls considered the race’s in herent weakness for chicken, especial ly Rhode Island Reds, and taxed the taxpayer of the Davis connubial un ion only $25 andthe costs. Perhaps the couple had a chicken dinner Sun day and perhaps they did not, but they at least paid for a chicken din ner. David Grigg charged with being drunk and disorderly and an assault with a deadly weapon was fined $75 and the costs. Bessemer Boys In Trouble At Gaffney On January 29 the Limestone Mil' store in Gaffney, was entered and goods to the value of something like $400 was taken. The next day three boys, the eldest being 17 years of age, were arrested by officers at Kings Mountain, and the goods which had been taken from the Limestone mill store were found upon their persons. Sheriff Wright, of Cherokee county, who was on the trail of the fugitives, arrived at Kings Mountain a short time after the boys were arrested, and carried them to Gaffney, where they have since been confined to jail. Last Wednesday the boys, whose names are Carl Blackwell, Paul Brooks and Lawrence Mitchell,, who said their homes are in Bessemer City demanded a preliminary examination the defendants bing represented by a Mr. Keyser, of Bessemer City. After hearing the testimony the Magistrate decided that the evidence was suffic ient to hold the boys for court, and they were recommitted. Later, the father of Lawrence Mitchell posted $300 for the appearance of the boy at court and he was released. The other two boys are still confined in jail.

Make Other Improvements. (Hy J. 11. Quinn, Chairman Board of Trustees.) At n spatial meeting on February 11th, 1924, the Trustees Boiling Springs high school arranged plans for a 60-days vigorous campaign for the sale of the $40,000 issue of 6 per cent first mortgage bonds to raise funds with which to liquidate some indebtedness on and to complete the Memorial building, to install a cenl tral heating plant for all the build ings, and to make other much needed improvements. The bonds are all of the denomina tion of $100 and are dividtu*lnto five series maturing as follows: One-fifth January 1st, 1929, and one-fifth on the 1st day of each January there after to and including 1933. The in terest is payable semi-annually on the first days of January and July, the in terest period starting from January 1st, 1924. The Wachovia Bank qnd Trust company of Winston-Salem, is trustee and interest will be paid through that bank but the frirst Na tional bank of Shelby, has been letted as custodian of the bonds until sold and of the funds arising from the sales. The following niemoers of the board of trustees were named as a commit tee to have full control and manafe ment of the bond Bale: E. B. Ham rick, D. J. Keeter, J. H, Quinn, M. M. Greene, A. I. Jolly, R. S. Lewis and K. F. Craig. The following persons were appointed managers of the cam paign for their respective associations Rev. J. W. Suttle, Kings Mountain association: Rev. W. T. Tate, Sandy Run; and Rev. C. J. Black, Gaston county. Each manager is expected to conduct the campaign in his own way, but he will need and will justly expect the hearty co-operation of all pastors and church officers within his associa tion. To dose the campaign by April 15th will require united effort all along the line. J. H. Quinn was named as general manager for the campaign. The bonds have been apportioned among the associations as follows: To the Gaston County association, 910,000; to the Sandy run, ’$12,000; and to the Kings Mountain, $18,Q0(t but if any association sells more than its apportionment no harm -will be done. The managers will be supplied with proper blanks for prospective purchasers. For the convenience of purchasers, bonds will be sent to such banks as they may designate for de livery to the purchasers. Such banks f will receive the funds and forward to, the First National Bank of Shel by. As these bonds are being sold to promote the cause of Christian educa tion, it is believed that all banks will handle these funds for their/patrons without charge. i ne Donas are a tine investment, as they pay 6 per cent in semi-annual in stallments and are secured by a first deed of trust on property that could not now be replaced for less than five or six times the face of this loan. While the purchaser will be making a good investment he will be helping his school to secure much needed im provement and thus promote the cause of Christian education. These three associations, with a combined membership of 25,972, with 119 churches, and 72 pastors should have no trouble in placing 400 bonds worth $100.00 each, within sixty days;. It is very important that this cam paign close prior to the annual ■meet ing of the board of trustees in con nection with the commencement exer cises of the school in April. Please notify the manager of your association at once as to how many bonds you desire and as to what bank you wish them sent. Dcfn’t wait for the manager to call to see you. He will greatly need your assistance. Every hand to the wheel. Let’s show the world what a band of Christian workers can do! MR.
