Pleasant Collegiate In stitute, the fastest outfit they have faced this season, the local highs dropped the first game Monday to the visitors 11 to 2 in a game featur ed by the heavy hitting of the junior collegians and the nervousness of the Shelby defense, and on Tuesday turn ed the tables and outclassed Mt. Pleasant in a 4 to 1 victory, that vergL ed on a shut-out. Dedmond and Lee were both hit hard in Monday’s game and their sup porting cast made air expeditions at tegular intervals with the result that Shelby looked weak against the hard hitting cadets. Shelby’s off day was strengthened by the steady work of Beam, behind the plate, and the hit ting of Magness, southpaw outfielder * R H B Mt. Pleasant--11 11 1 Shelby _-2 0 C Come Back Strong. Writh Wall, master of deceptive de livery, twirling, the highs fought out a good revenge Tuesday, but-hitting, out-fielding and out-fighting their conquerors of the previous day. The infield and outer works played a steadier and more determined brand of ball and aided their heave: in working out a two-hit game, the first time the visitors had been so huti'b led. On the offense the youngst: rs connected with a deadly regularity, Cline, the club’s star, and young Magness leading the barrage, the latter with a triple, and the work of Beam in nabbing airy fouls being again exceptional. The collegians had a word of pra:se for Coach Gurley and his team and the best high twirler they have faced. That Wall' wa-ked well is evidenced by the Mt. Pleasant-Lenoir College game, in which Mt. Pleasant secured four hits, two more than Wall allow ed them. Play Asheville Frday and Saturday. With six victories out of seven games the highs are in a mood to battle hafd in their two games with the strong Asheville Highs here Fri day and Saturday. The attendance is increasing slightly and with the com ing of the strong mountain array is expected to be more encouraging. A sale of season tickets will be put on immediately as the club expenses are delivering some deadly uppercuts to the income sheet. M. P. C. I. —-__AB R II PO A E C.

Adv 1.043 SMITES Three Churches Ila'e One-fourth of Population in Sunday School. Parse Classes for Men. Shelby has been referred to recent ly as a “leading Sunday school town,” but few people know that approxi mately otto-fourth of the up-town pop ulation is in Sunday school every Sun day morning. Approximate figures secured from the Sunday school sup erintendents of the three leading up town churches, the First Baptist, Cen tral Methodist and Presbyterian, show that the average total attendance at the three Sunday schools is 1,043. In some instances this is larger, but the figures were based on a general aver age. With an average attendance of around 1,000 during the winter months Sunday school officiate hope to have around 2,000 in regular class es during the summer. Although showing a good attend ance the Central Methodist and First Baptist churches have an attendance considerably below total enrollment. The Presbyterian church with an av erage attendance of 125 out of a to tal enrollment of 168 has a remark able record. With only 171 resident church members, the church has a Sunday school enrollment of 108. The First Baptist and Central churches each have 250 more enrolled than at tend regularly. However the total at tendance speaks well for the town, considering the population of the sec tion of town covered by the three churches. The number of men in Sun day school is probably the most re markable part of the Sunday school figures—362 Shelby men and young men are regular members at one of the four Bible classes. These four classes are taught bv O. Max Gard ner, Clyde R. Hoey, I. C. Griffin and John P. Mull, and the ability of the four as Bible teachers is largely re sponsible for the attendance. Approximate figures from the three superintendents are as follows: Men’s Total Enrolled First Baptist . 725 Central Moth. 718 Presbyterian 168 Ave. Classes Att. Av.

Another brother, Wil liam, went west and has not been Ward from in 25 years and he is sup posed to be dead. Mr. Quinn was a tailor by trade and the son of a tailor which profess ion ho followed for many years. About 20 years ago he purchased the Litiva Springs property and conducted tin fountain on the Court Square, the waters of which were noted‘far and wide for their medicinal qualities. Mr. Quinn was a quaint character, noted for his originality of wit and humor. He was one of a quintet of “buddies” often referred to in the Charlotte Observer in writing Shelby’s mineral waters and his “spring house’ on the square has been a ren dezvous for these five,—the mill man (J. C. Smith,) the drummer (Joe Ba ber,) the Norwegian (T. W. Ebeltoft,) the Major. (S. J. Green) and the water man (H. B. Quinn.) His fountain was a gathering place for the retired and leisure class and Mr. Quinn was al ways one of the chief entertainers, his originality of wit and pictures queness of character, drawing around him a host of admirers from far and near. When the Courtview Hotel proper ty 130 feet on Marion and 200 feet on Lah ayett street was again exposed to public auction Thursday afternoon at 2 o’clock, not a single higher bid was offered and the property was i knocked down to W. C. Corbett, half owner. Jack Palmer, Wm. Ldneberger and Mai Spangler, half owners, bid the property in on March 3rd for $82,000 but at the end of . 20 days it was raised five per cent by W. N. Dorsey acting for W. C. Corbett and bids were asked beyond 180,100 but none came. Absence of prospective purchasers was noticeable, there hav ing been much,speculation as to whether the $86,100 bid would be rais ed or not. Many spectators were pres ent. However, the bid remains open for another twenty days subject to another five per cent raise.

A I) Robertson, dev»l mment agent of the Seaboard has been in the county this week explaining to the farmers the sale and shipment of poultry in ear lots to northern mar kets. He has been in Rutherford and expects to get a full car from the two counties next week. Poultry buyers are notified to send in bids to the banks next week at which time the farm agents will open the bids and notify the farmers of the prices to be published in next Friday’s Star and the car which will be partly load ed at Rutherfordton and EUenboro will arrive in Shelby Saturday after noon April 10th. The successful bid der sends a man here to weigh the poultry in the presence of the farmer and pay cash. • The first four months in the year poultry reaches its highest price in this section and the shipment by freight in car lots enables the buyers to pay more than express shippers, according to Mr. Robertson. He says last ycur South Carolina shipped eight cars and this year will ship 30 or more cars. He expects this to be profitable to the farmers when once they try this meth&
