ROMEO III IRE EXERCISES REED HERE SMMf Confederate Veterans And Their Wives Enjoy Memorial Exercises Arranged By Daughters Of Confederacy Despite Dismal Sprinkle Of Rain. Address By Dr. Lemons. 57 Present. Shelby was host Saturday to the soldiers in gray, those fast-depart ing heroes recorded in history as the bravest losers and the best fighter1 the world has ever known. In 1861, several hundred sun-tanned youths heard the call of the Old South and marched away from their—CUrvelaffiT county homes topflight under Lee and Jackson for their Confederacy, but Saturday only a tottering 57. the remnant of the Cleveland Confeder ates, answered the roll call at the memorial exercises held in their*hon or by the Daughters of the Confed eracy. Fifty-seven in all, just a little more than half a hundred and far short of a company, but they enjoyed the day despite th« day-long drizzle of rain. If not an exercise had been held, no word of praise spoken, the reminiscences passed in the bent groups here and there were well worth the trip to town. The others saw only a memorial to what had been, but for them the curtain of time was raised and, only a few with their wives, they lived again in their con versation days that have long sinje passed. Decorate Graves Early in the morning they a entitl ed on the court house s<iuare, some erect and spry for their years, others feeling more the weight of age, shuffling along on a cane and .-till others waiting in a car at the curb. At 9:30 they turned their eyes west ward to Sunset cemetery, where rest comrades of theirs who have answer ed “taps” forever. Transported there in cars offered by the townspeople they reverently placed on the graves, that represent the majority of the company roster, the beautiful wreaths j prepared by the Shelby chapter of the j Daughters of the Confederacy. None hut the old fellows really knew what the hour meant, for to them the flow er-covered mounds were pals, friends' and even brothers of years gone by. years of strife and suffering that brought out the man in men and the best in noble qualities of the few gray-haired wives that accompanied them. Dinner at Cleveland Following the decoration of the graves the waiting cars carried the honor guests to Cleveland Springs, where the main exercises were held. There a lively selection by the Springs orchestra brought back for an hour or two fleeting youth to them whose youth is only a memory. A prayer of invocation was led by Rev. A. C. Irvin, a veteran himself of Company 7, 34th Regiment. “Car ry Me Back to Virginia,” a solo touchingly rendered by Mrs. Ben Sut tle proved a favorite and was thor oughly enjoyed by the veterans. Ten minutes was given to reminiscent con versation among the veterans. “The Heroism of the Hero”, the in born quality that inspires heroism, was the subject of an interesting and i appropriate address by Dr. R. L. Lemons, pastor of the First Baptist; church. In it all Dr. Lemons interwove the Pilot of all Destinies, who watch ed both over the blue and the gray. Ably he told of that unknown some thing that prompted the gray soldier to offer water from his canteen to; the thirst-parched lips of the Federal I trooper, or moved the blur-cla war-! rior to stop the flow of mood from j a wound received by what he termed a “rebel”. It was a talk appealing to1 the veterans and other hearers and j with an inspiration that reached ev-1 erv hearer. The major part of the program was prepared, but the “boys” took a part and if there were features, they were furnished by the veterans. One inci entd was a relic, the roll call rumbled «>n the drum by T. Willis Martin, a veterans of 78 years. Following’ this B- F. Jolly and E. R. Ellis, both 78 young, gave a treat to the younger generation and the Daughters by stepping off like youths some of the dances that were favorites in the Old South before the war. The faultless’ dinner served by the hotel to the \ veterans, their wives, and the Daugh ters of the Confederacy, ended the formal program, but the afternoon was one of pleasure for all, the Prin cess theatre and up-town business houses assisting in giving the “boys of ‘61” a good time. The afternoon will be long talked of. Scattered about on the court house lawn when the drizzle was not too steady were groups of two and three discussing incidents of a period a half century back. Some were com fortably seated in the court house, others leaned on canes or a friendly arm, but everywhere was the fellow ship and memory of a re-union. In teresting stories were told: of how a certain “yank” was made to “hit th<‘ high places times “the yanks almost had my number’’,• of Manas-! sas and Seven Pines;_of home-coming, I joys and trials. It was an afternoon j that will be remembered when an-: other year rolls around, but some may be absent., on May 10, As dusk and th hour of parting came the hand clasps were long and the de parting word spoken with a tear for the year- that bend one-time sturdy ironies also are gradually lessening! the rank- of gray.

Easily Defeat Gastonia Before Big Crowd In Charlotte. I'lay There Again Tuesday. Hitting when hits counted and sup porting brilliantly the superb pitch ing of Hoyle Lee, the Shelby Highs Friday defeated the (Listoniu Highs T to 1 at Charlotte in the s mi-finals of the slate race with 2,500 people looking on. Owing to this victory Coach Gurley’s boys will meet the fast Spencer outfit in Char lotte Tuesday for the championship of Western North Carolina, the hand some Observer cup, and the honor of meeting the eastern champions for the state title. The Lee Boys Star. Although the well-balanced Si-.r'by club performed like veterans aril ooau! performance of every player was out standing, the pitching of Hoyle Lee, the fielding- and hitting of (’line Lee and the all-around work of Beam were the brightest spots of the day, Dednion, Arrowood and Wilson hit timely and fielded well, and all the others fought gamely, their efforts forming that combination that win3 games. Tim hurling of Hoyle Lee how ever, made history, for hundreds of fans left the park with the opinion that they had witnessed the state's best high school moundsman at his best in whiffing ten men in six in nings, fighting always in the hole. Always in Lead. Wall started the game and had his hooks breaking nicely, but was in clined to be wild at critical periods in which the steady work of Beam be hind the plate and the fielding of Cline Lee m3 Ross prevented disas trous scoring. The inability pf Hen dricks to judge air drives in center however was responsible for the Gas tonia marker.. Peeler replaced Hen dricks and in turn was replaced by Wall, who was removed for Lee. In sending ten Gastonia batter.; back to the bench Lee hurled an unusual i brand of ball, striking out in one in ning three men, in two frames, two. ! and in three, one. Biggers. Ga tonia’s best bet, lasted three and two third* innings before he wa; yanked for Shannon, a fusillade of Shelby j hits driving him to cover. In the fourth Arrowood doubled and two scored, and with two on Cline Lee | was intentionally passed and with the sacks loaded Beam drove one to deep center clearing the bases. Cline Lee, star shortstop, was the hitting sensation, going to th - plate four times, walking once and singling three times for a perfect record, j Mundie with two hits was Gastonia’s ! star followed by Henderson, who trip led to center. Beam’s triple and Ar rowood’s double were other features, while Dedmon and Dixon starred in chasing around the paths. The Observer Cup. On exhibition in the stands was the big, silver Observer cup for the club that wins in Charlotte Tuesday. A handsome emblem, it drew the atten tion and interest of the players. In the fourth frame the Shelby’ young sters walked to the plate, turned their heads and took a longing look at the shining cup and then started driving the hors^hide to all corners of the lot in their determination to win the trophy, the first of its kind ever offered. A large crowd of Shelby fans pack ed the stands and supported their club well.

At the regular accting Thursday evening at Cleveland Springs the Shelby K.wartis club endorsed the iri tial move for a full-time health offic er for Cleveland county. The matter ■ ■a.tv' up during the program on pub lic health, which \ a. in charge of ! the doctor member- of the club flr. h. A. Houser wit- to have been in charge of the program but was un »-hie to be present owing to the death j of hi sister and Dr K B. Lattimore preside d, the speakers on the program ; including Dlrs. Baltimore, McBrnver.! Hai ti son, Hamrick and Beam and Dr. John c. Twitty, health officer of; Rutherford county. Following the prop- •>ive stop of other counties Rutherford county re eently appointed Dr. Twitty a health ! officer and he wa: invited here a the j guest of the club so that the member; might gain some information relating j to the work of a county health of fie- ; er. In a brief talk Dr. Twitty ex-j pressed the belief that a full-time ! health officer is very beneficial to any county and well worth the cost. In pi rsenting the idea I)r. Baltimore] reviewed the work of Miss Bowman. ! Shelby school nurse, who was put on ! at the request of th • club, and the re port reTeffted the beneficial work be- i ii'C carried on. Superintendent j Griffin ;took occasion to thank the club for sponsoring the movement for ' a school nurse. A Maternity Nurse. Dr. Reuben McBrayer in an in forming talk suggested that the h- aith officer be a Sheppard-Towner ■ nurse, or with the work to cover those ! under two years of age. Forty per cent of the deaths in Cleveland coun ty 'n l.'^l were children under two years of age, a conservative estimate mad-- by Dr. McBrayer.-while 50 per cent of the preventable deaths are among children under that age. These deaths he declared are largely due to pre-natal conditions and chiid ail ments that could be checked if prop* ; rly handled by an efficient nurse. The national and state government help bear the expenses and salary of the nurse provided under this bill and Dr. McBrayer was of the idea that this was the best and most economy cal plan as the nurse would devote her work entirely to the children and mothers in which are 40 per cent of ’ the deaths. Dr. J. W. Harbisor of j the Shelby Public hospital staff, en- j dorsed suggestion of Dr. McBrayer - and in a brief talk explained how the ; people are mislead by inefficient' medical service and cults. ‘‘Every thing is nothing when accompanied by ill health, but one never realizes it until it is too late,” Dr. Harbison said in expressing his belief that a health officer would mean much to the county if for nothing more than information and advice, a consider- ; able portion of ill health being due j to ignorance. He further explained how a board of health, and a nurse - or physician could fill this need. 1 Furthernnore a board of health could ; present organized effort for necessary i legislation. Dr. T. G. Hamrick, dean of the doe- I tors, spoke a word in favor of a health! officer, while Dr. A. Pitt Beam spoke in support of the movement from the viewpoint of a dentist. In te'duig of the relation of good teeth to gen eral health Dr. Beam added a touch j o{ humor in telling how far back den tistry dated. j Following a general discussion of! the proposition by the doctors, who all seemed to favor a health officer of some kind, a motion was made that the matter be turned over to the com mittee on public health and that they ! decide on some manner of presenting i it to the county commissioners and I other officials. The motion was pass- i ed unanimously by the club Guests for the evening included: Dr. Twitty, of Rutherfordton; Dr. T G. Hamrick with Mr. Rush Hamrick; Mr. A. M. Gray, Charlotte Kiwanian i with Mr. G. YV, Neeley; Mr. J. P. ! Austell with Mr. J. F, Jenkins; Mr. R. H. Hartness, of Sanford, with Mr.1 L. II. Ledford, and Mr. J. R.
