XXXII, No. 36 THE CLEVELAND STAR, SHELBY, N. C. MAX CONNOR IS IMPROVING SOME Star Athlete Badly Injured In Auto mobile Wreck On Monday Night May Recover. Max Connor, all-state football play er and star second baseman, who was severely injured in an automobile wreck Monday night, is improving to a certain extent at the Shelby hos pital, where he is a patient, accord ing to attending physicians. Unless unforeseen complications set in it is now thought likely that he will recov er, although recovery will be slow. George Dedmon and Clyde Wil-on, two other players slightly injured in the same accident ,are able to be out and will likely take part in the next game. Details Of Wreck. The high school club was return ing from Rutherford college, where they held the collegians to a 6-G tie in 10 innings, when upon rounding one of the curves on the mountain road between Hickory and Toluca— six miles north of Toluca—the big Hudson speedster driven by Connor turned turtlaf three times in rapid succession, t never leaving the road. There were four others in the car with Connor, three of whom were hurled from the car on the first turn. Connor and George Dedmon, pitcher and utility outfielder remained in the car until the third flin and were then thrown only a short distance, landing side by side. Connor was unconscious and apparently hurt badly when his companions reached him, while Ded-' mon had received a wrench and jar to his right shoulder. Clvd» Wilson, who with Max Dixon and Charlie Magness, was thrown out on the first turn, receiving an injury to his head, which was only slight however. The boys were brought to Shelby by farmers of that section and Con nor hurried to the hospital, where it was found that he had suffered con cussion of the brain together with a number of other injuries and bruises. He first regained consciousness about U o’clock next day and since that time has been conscious at times and able to talk some and recognize rela tives and friends. Examination re vealed that there was no fracture although the concussion and jar was bad, and his mind is gradually clear, ing up physicians say and should nothing further develop he will like ly recover, but will be in the hospital for some time. Max, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Cleve Connor, was one of the best' all-around high school ath letes in the state, well-known and popular not only among his fellow athletes but with the athletes of othijr schools throughout the state. He .was quarter back on the Shelby high ele ven and almost unanimously selected as end on the mythical all-state team. Out for the remainder of the- season his loss will be great to the club. According to. the boys who were in the car, they had just passed over rising stretch when the road veer ed sharply to the right at such an angle it was impossible to make the turn and in attempting to do so the car flipped over to the left, almost changing ends and turning in such a manner that it never left the road. They were traveling at a speed of around 35 miles per hour, the boys say The car, the property of Connor's lather, was badly demolished. Collegians Sympathize. This paper received yesterdav a .communication from R. K. Johnson, manager of the athletic association at Rutherford college, expressing the sorrow of the student body of that institution at the accident, which oc curred while the team was en route home from that institution. The ex pression of regret formally addressed o Coach Gurley, also expresses a hope that Connor will soon recover.

Cyclone Auction Buys Fine Property Land On Cleveland ^ Springs Road Brings $400 Per Acre. Will Sub divide And Sell. The Cyclone Auction Company of Forest City this week purchased for $400 per acre between 47 and 49 acres of lend on * the Cleveland Spring* road from Mike L. Borders and will sub-divide the property at an early’ date and sell in lots 100 feet front by 200 feet deep. It is said the property brought $21,000. It lies directly in front of Mike L. Borders’ new home on an elevation overlook ing the Cleveland Springs property. This will make an ideal suburban de velopment since the water main from the town of Shelby is being put down between Shelby and the Springs prop erty. The development will be cut in to lots with streets, etc., before it is placed on the market, which will be within the next sixty days, according to announcement made by one of the members of the auction company. This company last year purchased property on the Fallston road just out of town beyond the new Shelby Public Hospital and conducted a most successful sale of home sites.

Messages from Bari, in the extreme southern section of the county and near the state line, state that the storm hit about one mile west of there about 12 o’clock. Among the farms that suffered dam age to outbuildings and woodland ; were those of Jerry Runyan, Jake Green and Hun Runyan, it is said. On these places, which are west of Earlf the storm is said to have blown down outbuildings and uprooted consider able stretches of woodland. First ap pearing the dark cloud was high in the air, citizens of the section say, but swooped down here and there with disastrous results. No one was hurt in the section as far as could be learn ed. Considerable wind, rain, thunder and lightning" were in evidence in Shelby all through the day but nevei assumed dangerous proportions. * * $ Over 400 Injured The known death list in Wednes day’s devastating storms in the south east mounted to 86 lath ^W ednesday night, as reports far from complete continued to be received. As the disturbance continued to spread eastward with equal violence, three persons were killed in North ] Carolina, more than two score injur- i ed and tremendous property loss sus ; tained; while in South Carolina, where' tornadoes, striking with cataclysmic! effect, were the most disastrous, the' number of dead increased to 61 as word( of additional fatalities came in; hourly. Tea Million Damage. Sixty-three persons were killed, more than 400 injured, many, many perhaps fatally, hundreds were made homeless and untold property dam age was caused by storms of cyclonic proportions which devastated sections of the southeast Wednesday. Fragmentary reports continuing to trickle in from the storm area wrote a steadily increasing list of dead and injured as the disturbance swept into North Carolina, the fifth state to suf fer. South Carolina, with a total of 61 known dead, many others reported killed, and more than 100 injured, 78 seriously, was the hardest hit. Incomplete reports from Alabama tell of 18 deaths, more than a score of persons injured and some missing; while four are known to have been killed in Georgia and more than a score injured. Not included in the toll of casualties in the storm was one negro who was killed at night in Louisiana. Twenty seven persons are known to have been injured in North Carolina, in addition to three killed. Property damage in the stricken districts possibly will amount to nearly $10,000,000, according to pre liminary estimates. * Many negroes are included in the casualties nnd niissing. Relief measures already have been inaugurated by the southern division of the Red Cross. — Worst in History. The storm, its destructive force de clared unparalled in the history of this section of the country, left a path marked by desolation and wreck age roughtly estimated at more than 1,000 miles in length. Human beings, including1 several children, were picked up as if they had been papers and hurled hundreds of feet through the air, houses, barns and public buildings were smashed! into kindling after being lifted from , their foundations; numbers of live-j stock met death in the wreckage, trees were uprooted and hundreds of' miles of telegraph and telephone wires were torn down. Sweeping eastward from Arkansas Tuesday, through Tennessee, Georgia, i Louisiana and Mississippi, the hurri- j cane struck South Carolina with all j its force Wednesday. In South Carolina. Two tornadoes converging at Hor ! rell Hill, 12 miles from Columbia, and | laid waste the entire section. Sixteen lives were lost, including four children ; who were among 7fi pupils buried be i neath the debris of the demolished j schoolhouse. Numbers of the children i and many other persons were injured, I several seriously. In Sumter county. South Carolina, 11 persons met death; seven were kill ed in the city of Anderson, three at Florence and one in Florence county, Lexington county, Darlington county! and Columbia. The number of injured i at each of these places has not been ascertained, but it is believed the list will be large. At Florence, dead and injured were carried through the air, some as far as 150 yards while from the same place came reports that an undeter. ! mined number of negroes were miss- j ing from the Elim section of Florence county. All effort* to establish con. firmation failed because of disrupted means of communication. Anderson Hard Hit. Hundreds of persons are reported homeless and in need of assistance at Anderson, where more than a score were injured in addition to those kill ed when the storm struck with devas tating effect. Relief work is going ahead rapidly there under the direction of the Amer ican legion, Red Cross, numerous oth er organizations and individuals. Six Killed in This State. , Says a Raleigh dispatch: A storm of cyclonic proportions swept over portions of Martin and • Chatham counties Wednesday afternoon, result ing in the deaths of three people at Bynum, in Chatham, and the injury of half a hundred others, and doing property damage that will run into the millions of dollars. A late report from Chapel Hill states that three people were killed in a storm at Paces Mill, which would bring the to tal for North Carolina up to six. The most disastrous effect of the storm was felt at Bynum, where a saw mill was torn from its founda tions and carried 100 feet up an in_ cline. The majority of the injured were crushed in the collapse of this building. A steel and concrete bridge over Haw river was wrecked by the force of the wind. Robersonville. in Martin county, was partially demolished by the storm. Three score dwellings, two churches and a number of farm build i ings were wrecked. The tornado cut a path through this section 300 yards wide and 15 miles long. Fifty people -were injured, 12 seriously, at Rober sonville, according to a partial check made late Wednesday night. The Atlantic coatst line, whose branch lines diverge in four direc tions from Parmelee, into the section visited by the tornado, was rushing officials and assistance into the strick en area. Rescuers reported that in many in stances those injured by the tornado had beerr-earried through the air for] hundreds of yards and muny were! found in ditches and fields where they had lion hurled by the wind. Many attractive country homes in the prosperous truckgrowing section j of Martin county were demolished, according to the meagre reports re ceived here. Trees were uprooted, stock killed, and houses crushed like j paper by the twister. A number of au j tomobiles were wrecked when they were picked up by the wind after j their garages had been destroyed and j hurled through the air. Tenant farm ers Working in the fields were hurled hither and thither and a number of injured were these men, who were in the fields when the unexpected dis turbance came. iji lieart in isoutn Carolina. Do: t ruction wrought by cyclonic winds which raged through southeast ern states Wednesday assumed the proportions of a state-wide disaster in South Carolina, where tornadoes struck at intervals and in various sections throughout the day and roll ed up a toll which incomplete reports received at Columbia placed at 61 known dead, many scores injured, hundreds without homes and property losses which are expected to mount well above a million dollars. Probably Others Killed. Unconfirmed reports reaching here tell also of scores of others killed as a result of the series of twisting winds. The storm was accompanied here, ns in other localities, by dark ness like that of night, terrific hail fall and heavy rains. Twin tornadoes meeting at Horrell Hill about 12 miles from Columbia, devastated the section, demolished a sehoolhouse, killing four pupils, and took a toll of 16 lives shortly before noon. The sehoolhouse was left a mass of debris with 75 children trap ped under the fallen timbers. Anderson Hard Hit. Anderson, S. C„ April 30.—Crash ing through the southeastern part of Anderson early today, a terrific tor nado brought death to eight persons, five of whom were children, injured more thah a score seriously, rendered hundreds homeless, and did property damage estimated at close to $600, 000. The tornado struck about 8 o’clock. Its victims were caught in their tumb ling houses almost before they real ized what was happening. Approxi mately half of the hundred residences making up the Riverside mill village were razed to the ground and Mrs. Oscar Hawkins and her two sons, Roy and Oscar, jr./lO and eight years old respectively, were killed when their home fell about them. In Spartanburg County. Spartanburg, S. C„—Eight per sons ere known to ha%’e been injured, several of them seriously, in the Wal nut Grove and Pauline section of Spartanburg county when a tornado swept through those communities, de molishing more than a dozen farm houses and sweeping away barns, or chards, end causing property damage estimated at many thousands of dol lars. All wires are down and there is no direct communication with the stricken section. Several Red Cross nurses and all the doctors available left for Walnut Grove as soon as news of the storm had bee# received. CHAMPIONSHIP GAME HERE. The Shelby Highs, the state’s “wonder club,” will meet Startown here today, (Friday) for the championship of Group 4 in the .stae race. The winner will meet winners of other groups and so on down to the finals for state hon ors. Startown, one of the fastest teams in the state, has eliminated Harmony, Canton and Granite Falls, and should give Shelby a hot battle. The Shelby boys al. though crippled are determined to win, and the “Shelby fight” is a well-known quantity. All the regu lars will be in except Connor and Magness, and either Hoyle Lee or Wall will pitch. Every Shelby fan should be out and support the boys for state honors. V. .. M J Horton-Newton Wedding. Mr. David Newton, a substantial farmer of Casar and Mrs. Alice Hor ton of Delight were recently married in the Polkville section where the bride lived. Secrets, money and fish are hard to keep. • Good advice is harder to take than castor oil. r Good Week End Shows At Princess Theatre Today, Friday, the Princess offers a mixture of thrills, romance and laughter with Buster Keaton in “Our Hospitality,” the greatest photoplay comedy ever screened. It is a scream from start to finish and theatregoers cannot afford to miss this entertain_ ing film. Saturday’s special is Harry Carry in the “Miracle Baby,’? a swift-moving dramatic story that will make you clench your fists from sheer excite ment. An extra attraction will be a good comedy. Monday and Tuesday do not miss seeing the great special Douglas Fair banks in “Robin Hood”. Fairbanks’ greatest picture will be here two days and those who have been long ing to see the story of the gallant English outlaw on the screen should not miss this opportunity. “Robin Hood” is the most interesting story of history and legend plus fact and fairy tales in the picture eight cen turies are brushed aside by the cam . era lens, back to the days when “knights of old were brave and bold.” More life sentences are needed for matrimony and for murder.—Ashe ville Times. f" % LEMONS MEMORIAL SPEAKER Rev.

Gurley, for three years successful coach of the Shelby high athletic team* and one of the greatest all-around college athletes the state has-ever preduced> Tuesday accepted an offer as director of athletics at the Lenoir-Rhyne college, located at Hick ory. The announement of wide inter, est over North Carolina and the south was made here following a con ference with trustees of the institu tion. It comes in connection with the col lege’* plan of development both in academics and athletic*. Hardly given any consideration in athletics among the standard colleges, Lenoir this year stepped out with a wonder baseball club, that is battling for the state championship, and with an awakening interest in athletics supporters of th~ institution are enthusiastic over the future with the former State college and Washington and Jefferson star as mentor. Shelby will miss him greatly not ,only because he has mold ed winning athletic teams, but has added several sparks of true manhood to the boys that are men in the mak ing. . Athletic Career. Dick Gurley, broad in shoulder and short in stature, entered Washington & Jefferson in 191(5 and was during that season a sensational half back on the famous Pennsylvania eleven. In 1917 he came to State college. his home being in Goldsboro, and became one of the few three-letter athletes that are really stars. For three’ years he was the outstanding backfield man in the state, playing at quarter and fullback., a terrific line plunger, sure kicker and a great field general. In his third year he was captain of the varsity eleven and for three years a member of the mythical all-state team and two years the all South-Atlantic. Working behind the plate and on sec ond he was for four years a member of the varsity baseball club, being all state catcher his last year. Threi years he was either forward or guard on the basket ball quint in addition to hitting the line for Uncle Sam dui ing the world wan- Since his college career he has played either profes sional or semi-pro baseball during the summers, and has also played in a number of professional football games at Richmond and elsewhere during the winter. Made Good Here. Three years ago he came to Shelby with the reputation of a great athlete and in three years has proven his ability as a coach. The town, little known in athletics then, is now among the leaders. With a limited number of boys he has built some of the hardest fighting athletic teams in the state and the town is now widely known through athletics. For three years his football and baseball teams have bat tled their way up the state race to either the finals or semi-finals, and this year his baseball club was consid ered a “wonder outfit” and may yet win state honors and the Observer cup despite the wreck Monday night in which Max Connor and qther members of the club were injured. His track teams have won the county champion ship each year and his basketball quints have been exceptional consid ering the handicap of not having an indoor court. It was pratically certain to Shelby people that this was Gurley’s last year as a high school coach for col lege offers have been too enticing Along with Dick Kirkpatrick ot Charlotte, he was for a time consider ed as a successor to Hartnell, at State. Although his Iors will be keen ly felt here local people are glad that he will head athletics at a Carolina school as he is a product of a Caro lina school and a native of this state. There are few high school coaches if any able to plug the gap he leaves and Lenoir could hardly have made a better choice. To that institution Shelby people can guarantee a coach that will put out winning teams con sidering his material and teams that will fight gamely but cleanly until the last despite the material. CHARLES M. SCHWAB NOW AT ASHEVILLE Asheville April 28—Charles M. Schwab, head of the Bethlehem Steel corporation, arrived here Sunday on his private car for a week’s vacation. Mr. Schwab immediately went to the Asheville Country club links and play ed a game of golf. Deal At Lattimore. Dr. Hunt of Lattimore has pur chased five and a half acres of land in the town of Lattimore from J. P. D. Withrow for $3,150. The deal was made through J. B. Nolan, real estate agent. TRY STAR WANT ADB, I M. C. H. WORK IB BE DONE BE Shelby Gives $500 Toward Secretary to Carry on 1'plift Work Among Her Shelby Boys. Shell y business men have contribut ed $500 in order to obtain the useful, ness of the Young Men's Christian as . sociation which is exi ding its work * to the smaller towns of North Caro lina. The plan to place an energetic, specially trained secretary over a group of towns including MA-ganton, Hickory, Lincolnton, Statesville and Mooresville was presented Monday evening at the Cleveland Springs hotel at a banquet attended by 100 representative men, the speakers be ing Julian Miller editor of the Cbar_i lotte News, J. Wilson Smith slato sec. retary and J. T. Fesperman, states boys work secretary. The meeting was arranged some ten days ago and invi tations extended by a committee of 12 well known local business men. who are interested in the welfare of the young men. On Tuesday and Wednes. day the canvass was made for contri butions and with the assistance of L. F. McBrayer, Rush Hamrick, C. B. McBrayer and others, the necessary amount was readily subscribed. Higher ( hristian l hararter. Mr. Wilson Smith, state secretary, told 6f the plan to extend the Y. M. C. A. usefulness and influence to the smaller towns in North Carolina by employing a secretary, specially trained in the work who will perfect organizations to promote older boys conference, high school “Y” clubs, employed boys brotherhoods, “come clean” campaigns, sex hygiene talks, thrift campaigns, father and sons din ners and other usual type of Y. M. C. A. work for boys. He will make peri_ j odical visits to Shelby as well as the other towns in the group to keep the organization going in training young men into higher Christian character. Lack of time prohibited Mr. Wilson from going into details of the wodc which has been carried on success fully in the high schools and colleges In the state. State's Greatest Resource. Julian Miller who delivered the prin cipal address of the evening had for his subject “North Carolina’s Great, est Resource” which he declared to be tbs young boys of today. He re viewed the wonderful material pro. gress the state and nation are making but declared that there is an army of 200,000 young men in North Carolina between the ages of 15 and 25 who constitute the state’s greatest re source. They are the men of tomorrow and whatever slant they get on educa tion will determine the destiny of the state. The slant he gets on education and his usefulness as a future citi zen is determined by what he thinks about Jesus Christ. The Y. M. C. A. work is to deevlop the moral side of a boy’s life, show the father his task as a parent in his relationship to his boy. The Y. M. C. A. works along the theory that it is better to make than breaks it is better to use than to abuse it'is better to form than to reform, it is better to train than €o restrain, it is better to prevent then to rescue. Those who heard u proposition for the Y work in Shelby heartily en | dorse the proopsition and the pledge 1 of $500 assures the work for a year at ' least. Work Of Carolina Motor Club Helpful The location here of a state license bureau for Cleveland and Rutherford counties in charge of Mr. Wade Hoey means also that the bureau will be headquarters for the Carolina Motor ; club and the American Automobile ' association. Membership in the motor club carries along with it membership in the national association. The two counties will be worked for members in the organization, which has proven a great aid to motorists, and in serv ice well worth the membership dues. The club was organized with aims similar to that of the Merchants as sociation and other organizations, but with the main purpose service to Car - olina motorists. Membership in thei organization entitles one to free emergency road service, which means that a member of the club when in trouble can call an official station and be towed five miles orotherwise aid ed in getting started. The club furth ermore pays a reward of $50 in help ing a member to recover a stolen car. The membership card of the club is accepted as a $50 appearance bond for traffic violation and also entitled one to all services in the national ai sociation. The club is a non-profit 01 ganization with the sole aim of aidin the autoist and is responsible for leg islative work beneficial to the motor ist. In addition to all the other priv ileges the local branch as other brand es, carries for its members full infer mation, maps, routes and tour book: for those planning trips.
