Editor of Observer Becomes Reminis
cent After Visit to Resort. Stage
Coac-h Days.
Charlotte Observer.
The old days at Cleveland Springs
are dead, because the people who
maintained the traditions of the old
days at that place are themselves
dead. One of the old buildings at
'whose doors they were wont to alight
from the stage coach or the one-hoss
shay yet remains, stoutened in tim
bers, painted up and used as servants’
quarters; there are a few old cedars
and sycamores ar.d oaks that have
stood their own against the elements
but other than that all of the former
Cleveland Springs is but a memory.
Of course, the rotten-egg spring dis
covered by Red Men, and the yel
low running water are flowing as na
ture has dictated, but even their sur
roundings have been modernized. It
was about five years ago that the peo
pie of Shelby, wuth new-born determ
ination to revamp their mineral water
aset, went down into their pockets
and made up a sum of considerable
proportions for construction of a mod
ern hotel, laying off the golf links,
building of swimming pools and pro
viding play grounds. They made up
the sum of a little more than $250,000
and seeing that evidence of their g&od
faith, Charlotte came in with the bal
ance eneded, and the work of recon
struction of this noted health and
pleasure resort was begun. All feats
about the risk of the investment were
dissipated within six months after the
new hotel was opened. A popular pat
ronage developed which made possible
the long-cherished hope of an all-the
year round hotel—a combination com
mercial and resort institution. The
hotel was kept open all through the
past winter, and Manager Vanstory
and his great fireplace with the blaz
ing logs of wood, never experienced
an idle moment or a lonesome hour.
The popularity of the establishment
in its older days looks mighty feeble
in comparison with the developed pop
ularity under modernized conditions.
nevertheless, the institution has
not broken entirely away from old
traditions, one of these is the formal
opening for the summer season, and
this event takes place Thursday. In
those days it was the ball with it*
feminity in hoop skirts anfj trailing
dresses; the men in high-standing col
lars and the black silk choker. Now
it is the dance, with the more or less
jazzy mush, short skirts and bobbed
hair—the gents pompadour—with the
corn-cob pipe displaced by the cigar
ette. But what’s the odds? It was the
good time at Cleveland in the old
days; it is none the less the goodi
time there now. It is the Shelby peo
ple who put their money into the re
construction of Cleveland that come
in for the good word. Their enterpris
ing spirit has re-established for the
people in this part of the country the
benefits and pleasures the people be
fore us knew and appreciated, and in
giving these advantages, the people of
Shelby are in turn reaping the bene
fits of the practical application of
their own faith. The Observer has a
mighty good conscience in exploiting
the enterprise of these Shelby people
as a glory to all this surrounding sec
tion. And the strip of connecting black
top makes of it more than ever a
Charlotte institution.

Be sure to read the important an
nouncement of Rev. C. J. Woodson in
this issue of The Star.
Virginin Senator Sava Cnnbdgc Even
Question.* Honesty Of Senate.
Strong Declaration.
T’.ie crossfire of the senate contro
versy that has re god for three days
about Presidential intervention in the
Pinchot-Heney-Mellon wrangle con
inued unabated Tuesday, with Sena
tor Glass, of Virginia, delivering
what his Democratic colleagues hail
ed as the formal declaration of their
resentment at the president’s lan
guage, says a Washington dispatch.
The Virginia Senator spoke after
careful preparation. He had not beer,
assigned to the task, his party col
leagues said; but when he concluded,
they crowded about him to clasp
hands in congratulation while Senator
Itccd, Republican, Pennsylvania was
kept waiting for order that he might
make brief reply.
No Partisan Purpose.
Senator Glass disclaimed any pur
tisan purpose. He voiced respect and
admiration for the President and Mr
Mellon; declared himself opposed to
the action of the investigating com
mittee in proposing to employ Fran
cis .J. Hcncy at the personal expense
of Senator Couzens, Republican.
Michigan, but added that he could hot
remain silent in the face of the mes
sage that contained the PreshlentV
“amazing arraignment of the Senate
of the United States as a menace to
orderly government.”
“I’ve had no immediate part in any
investigation and have contributed
no word of consequence to the clis
cussions of them,” Senator Glass said,
“but I refuse to remain silent when
a Presidential message is put unon
the desk which asperses the patriot
ism end even the honesty of the Sen
ate.”
Senator G'ass delivered his pddresr
with great earnestness and no Sena
tor on either side sought to interrupt
him. Republicans and Democrats plik
gave him the closest attention
throughout.
He was guiltless of any des ire to
“assault” the President and the Sec
retary, the Senator reiterated time
and again, but felt constrained “by
every consideration of self-respect to
repel the unprecedented assault made
by these officials upon the integrity
of- the United States Senate ”
When Senator Glass had conclud
ed and the bustle made by congrat
ulations from h’s colleagues had died
away, Senator Reed berated the Sen
ate for delay in action upon the in
migration bill, which had been two
weeks before it, less then halt that
time being given to debate on the
bill, while “hour after hour” the fire
of partisan criticism had raged from
the Democratic side.

Uncle Dick Jolly Writes
The Story Of His Life
Confederate Veteran at Age of Eighty
Two Issues Comprehensive .
Autobiography.
Gaffney Ledger.
“The Story of My Reminiscences,”
autobiography of Richard M. Jolly
better known as “Uncle Dick" Jolly,
| been issued from the press in the
i form of a U6-page book neatly bound
with paper covers. Mr. Jolly is a Con
1 federate veteran.
About half of the book is devoted
to the personal history of Mr. Jolly
in Vhich he tells many things of in
terest to others than those in the im
mediate family. Several chapters are
devoted to his relatives and family
connections, and all in all the bio- !
graphy makes a rather complete gen
ealogical statement of the statement
of the Jolly family.
In the preface Mr. Jolly states he
has reached the eighty-second mile
post in his journey through life. The
first paragraph contains the follow
ing:
“All of us begin with a more or less !
definite objective in the first days
when we stop to think of the future.
To some conies a glorious realization
of their ambitions; to others bitter
moments of disillusionment and un- j
ending despair. But to him who stead
fastly keeps his face to the fore,
ready to grapple with problems as
they come to him, and takes the ram j
by the horns, is permitted the full
enjoyment of earth’s blessings.”
Mr. Jolly states that writing the
autobiography was a task of love. “I !
have aguin lived thyolugh scenes of
joy and gloom of happiness and de
spair, of promise anti discouragement.
In it all I have lived, loved, hated,
fought, helped, condoned as wel as re
ceived anew the thrill of being loved,
of being hated, of being helped and of
being forgiven.”
The book will probably be of wide
interest in this section.
Farmers Are Delayed
In Spring Planting
Because of the intermittent rains,
farmers have been greatly delayed in
planting field crops, although some
garden seed are in the ground and
seem to be doing as well as could
be expected under unfavorable weath
er conditions. There have been few
good days for ploughing and with the
planting season near at hand, the
field crops wil be put in with less pre
paration than up-to-date farmers like
to give in order to get the seed bed
in the best of condition. In the pur
chase of fertilizers the farmers are
making great preparations. The
amount of commercial fertilizer pur
chased is up to the highest on record
if not beyond and this would indicate
an acreage above last year because
many fields have been cleared and
land which heretofore has been idle
or in pasture will be planted in cot
ton. The theatening boll weevil which
was such a “bugaboo” for the past
two or three years is giving very lit
tle worry.
You will find just what you are
looking for in wen’s and womens and
childrens, new ,and up-to-date foot

LOSE TO SHELBY
< rawford’s Club Drops first Game of
Season to Locals. Shelby
Hoys HU Heavy.
Driving out hits when hits were
needed and with Wall twirling steady
ball in the pinches, the Shelby highs
Wednesday deefated Pat Crawford’s
Gastonia highs, one of the “big four"
in a hard-fought contest 6 to 4. It was
Gastonia’s first defeat of the season
and Shelby's eighth win out of nine
start*. Judging from the brand of
ball played by the two clubs both will
be desperate contenders for state
honors.
Burgers and Wall, the pitching aces
nf the two outfits, opposed each oth
er on the mound, with Wall, allowing
only four hit3, having the advantage
of the duel, atlhough he was forced
to work himself out of several dan
gerous situations after his infield had
taken an air expedition. S4»ndev, ac
tive receiver of the visitors, Beam,
rWmond and Cline Lee were the hit
ting stars. The game resembled the
big-time brand until the fourth when
fwo doubles and a single gave Shel
by two markers. Gastonia came back
in the fifth and chased three across
the rubber on one hit and some ner
vous plays by the Shelby infield. With
Beam, Cline Lee and Magness hit
ting in succession Shelby scored three
more in tfieir’half and another in the
sixth, Gastonia getting their final run
in the eighth.
Crawford has a nice fieding outfit
and one that, hits well for a school
club, although like all high school
dubs there are certain weak spots.
Underwood and Mondey making the
best appearance. In Cline Lee, bril
liant shortstop and terrific hitter,
Coach Guriev has -without a doubt the
best high school star in the state,
while Beam, hefty receiver, Wall and
Connor should have berths on the
mythical all-state aggregation.
The locals play the Davidson fresh
men Friday at Davidson and Lenior
-ollegf- scrubs here Saturday Asheville
furnishing the opposition on Easter
Monday.

about one month ago. The Easter can
tata was announced sometime ago and
much interest is being shown. The
club has been rehearsing regularly
under the direction of W. Fife Rob
ertson and their sacred program
should prove very entertaining to the
large audience that will more than
likely attend.
Dramatic Concert Postoned.
It was announced several weeks
ago that the dramatic department of
the club would present a three-act
comedy, “Arabian Nights”, at the
Princess theatre Tuesday evening,
April 22, but since the announcement
it has been learned that the revival
meeting at the First Baptist church
will be underway at that time and
for this reason the dramatic program
has been postponed. Officials of the
club are now of the opinion that it
will be held Thursday evening, May
8. The tickets have already been prin
ted and are for sale by club mem
bers. There are a limited number of
reserved seats and those wishing to
obtain seats in the reserved section
should get in touch with Mrs. G. G.
Moore or some of the club members.
