THE CLEVELAND STAR, SHELBY, N. C. TUESDAY, FEB. 26, 1924. $2.00 A YEAR IN ADVANCE FOREST® GETS HUGE FROM SOUTH 10KTK TRUSTEE OFFERS $50,000. lo Be Baptist Institution And An Industrial School For Motherless Children. Forest City is to get Baptist orph anage, according to plans first made known public Sunday a the First Baptist church Shelby by Miss Ber tha Moore, one of the promoters of the South Mountain institute in Ruth erford county. Miss Moore said a cer tain trustee of the South Mountain school had felt that the South Moun tain school’s usefulness could be broadened bv moving out of the mountains and that this trustee, whose name she withholds for the present, has offered §50 050 and i V) em-es of land. According to Miss Moore th;s will be the only institu tion of its kind in the southern or northern Baptist conventions. She de clares that it will not in any way in terfere with the Boiling Springs school because the institution to be established at Forest City will only take students who are unable to' pav for their education and are willing to work their way through and because it will make special ararngements to care for motherless children. The Thomasville Baptist orphanage takes children whose father’s are dead but does not take motherless children, so this new Forest City school will cater especially to motherless little ones." Five years ago Misses Bertha Moore and Ora Hull etablished the South Mountain institute, a typical mountain school which has done a wonderful work, hut the buildings have become dilapidated, the loca tion sarves to limit the usefulness of the school and the Misses Moore and Hull, have, decided to move to Forest City. The money and land offered by the unknown trustee will make a fine start and the churches will be called on later for other help to erect and equip the necessary buildings. The lady promoters expect to maintain the institution at South Mountain and keep two teachers there who will carry on the community work which they started five years ago. Many of the present students have consented to come to Forest City and continue their studies, for says, Miss Moore an ambition for an education has been inspired in hundreds of mountain children. The new institution at Forest City while an orphanage, will stress th~ junior college idea With the hope of having a curriculum which will give it this standard among the colleges of the east. Miss Moore says negotia tions are still under way , with the trustee who has offered $50,000 in cash and 150 acres of land and that she expects to be able to mqke some definite announcement this week. If the plans carry as outlined, she hopes the school will be ready ,to open its doors by next September at Forest city. IV BUILD 1 SIX 5T0BY MMERT 15. F.

PLANTS HERE ARE MAXIMUM Local Mills Have Not Curtailed Out put. One Plant Has Increased -Time Schedule. Although reports from Charlotte have been issued to the effect that several big textile plants there have curtailed 50 per cent, and that many mills throughout the textile section of the Piedmont had made like curtail ment, no such condition seems to exist in Shelby or the surrounding mills, I according to local mill men. Further more there seems to be no apparent anticipation of any curtailment. Instead of any curtailed schedule, one mill, the Ella, of the Consolidat ed Textile corporation, has started running full time after having been on a four-day week schedule for some time. The Ella mill is the only plant in and around Shelby that is not own ed by local interests, being owned by northern capital and operated under local management. The Belmont and Double Shoals mills, locally owned, ,are making reg ular time, while the Eastside, Dover and Katherine mills, locally financed and under the Dover management, are still running full time. As are the Shelby mills locally finances, the Lily mill, owned by the Schencks, and the Janet hosiery mill, belonging to a New York corporation. However conditions are not encour aging considering the recent slumps in the manufactured goods market, although there is yet no evidence of curtailed programs.

Recently he has iranched out in business property and as built a number of store houses on South LaFayette street. Mr. Webb Iso owns outright the College Inn iroperty which is now operated as a warding and rooming house. .Tim has not mads ud his m!nd v"* nst wbat he wi’l with th" "t-n-' ' ertainly be hss r.o idea of preac’r’n r starting a new church. His mind at iresent is to turn the church into busi ess property with an inclination to 'rovide a picture sho» house. He feels hat the auditorium is well suited for uch a purpose and with little expense e ern make it a revenue producer, fis mind may change as time goes by! owever, as it was stipulate in the ale that the church should have use f the property until the new church milding is completed Rev.

The Star reporter was unable to locate 'ither of the parties and ascertain the ■xact consideration, but Mr. Webb ays he made enough “to buy ap au omobile.” There was some misunder standing between J. E. Webb and Tom IVebb over the first purchase men ioned above from the church author ties. Mr. Tom Webb says he suggest 'd to Mr. J. E. Webb that they buy he property together and they went o J. F. Harris, real estate man and iade a joint proposition, Toro Webb 'dmits he did not sign Hie proposi ion to the church with J*. E. Webb be -ause he says he thought j.

Webb) had made the pur chase, so he concluded that Tom Webb lad withdrawn from the transactian. At any rate J. E, Webb has sold out ock, stock and barrel to Webb and Lutz. ‘Smilin’ Through” Wednesday Night The last Redpath lyeeum number of the season will be given Wednesday evening at the Central school auditor urn in “Smilin’ Through,” Allen Lang don Martin’s three-act play. Shelby people who have seen "Smilin’ Through,” the appealing motion pic ture in which Norma Talmadge star red, need no inducement to see the story of human appeal presented in play form.

Al though as a whole of the emotional ype the play is replete with humor, one of the best comedy scenes evtfr written coming at the outset of the story. Let the boy have a ra
