Grover Clu*' Sat urday Victim*. Friday the local highs, state cham pions, returned an early season game with the Blue Ridge School for Boys at Hendersonville and easily defeated the prep schoolers 12 to 1. Hoyle Lee, on the mound for Shelby was impreg nable, allowing only three hits and striking out 12 men. At no time were the Hendersonville boys in threaten ing distance of taking the lead. Ar rowocd, Beam and Hardin banged out triples, Arrowood making two runs and two hits out of two trips to the plate. The locals dtove out a total of 13 hits. Saturday a mixed club of amateurs and semi-pros from Grover fell before Gurley’s club 12 to G. The visitors took the lead at the outset but were .■•bon' outdistanced by the heavy-hit ting highs. Wall, in fine form was accorded good support and in the beginning of the eighth had Grover 12 to 2. At this juncture Jack Hoyle, the embrvo hinder of the staff, took on the hurling duties, hut allowed sev eral runs owing to stage fright. George Bcdmon finished the game, whiffing the last tw'o flatters. The of ferings of the Grover pitcher, a form er semi-pro, were banged to all cor ners of the lot by the highs, there be ing more doubles, triples and homers than singles, ope homer, a triple and two doubles coming in succession in one frame. Every member of the club hit hard and often, Melvin Peeler driving one out fe>r the circuit, while fline Lee secured five safeties out of six trips and Fred Beam four out of six.

C. •Hupniobile GROWTH HD DEVELOPMENT OF CLEVEUUiD COUNTY FROM 1841 MU THIS YEJB H. T. Royster, First County School Superin tendent. Early Pioneer Preachers and First Churches. Story of Better Roads. Beginning Of Railroads. First Fertilizer Used in 1868. First Manufacturing Plants. (By Mrs. Lee B. Weathers before the . 20th Century Club.) After the county of Cleveland wns | formed as a result of the passage through the legislature of a bill by Dr. W. J. T. Miller on January 1841 “to form a new county from a part of Lincoln and a part of Ruth erford,” three ‘'justices” elected the first county officers, A. R. Homesley clerk of court, William G. Green reg istrar and Charles Blanton sheriff. These thr?e men had practical control of the county, the sheriff being a sort of law unto himself, looking after matters which have more recently i been delegated to other officers such as treasurei, superintendent of schools, coroner, recorder, auditor and prosecuting attorney. rom me nine uie county was lorm. ed until the Civil war there were but few free schools. Most of the school* were privately sponsored and taught, ran from five to six months each year, but suspended entirely during the war. Only those whose parents could afford it, sent their children to the early schools and many of our citi | zens grew up in ignorance of books, but some of them learned the rudi ments of the three R’s by imbibing or self-study. Education was a luxury and was even looked upon with dis favor by many, but gradually then sentiment changed and the desire for more knowledge grew until free schools were provided over the oppo sition of many older people who thught them too costly. The first free school houses were built of logs and daubed with mud. Children sat on slabs in which pegs were driven for legs. Education grew in favor ancT a superintendent was added to the coun ty officers in 1881, when H. T. Roys ter was elected. Mr. Royster served for ten years and was the father of Dr. S S Royster, now a town aider man. Only 10 years ago was the last log school houce abandoned, the county striking a great educational stride un. der Governor Chas. B. Aycock. Today there are 12,000 school children en rolled. Districts are gradually being consolidated and brick buildings with modern equipment are being provided ail over the county, with teachers who are college graduates or have high school certificates and experience which warrants them in holding their positions. Churches and Early Preachers. Before the war when slavery ex isted, white and blacks worshipped in the small house. Churches and preach ers were few. Perhaps the oldest Methodist churches in the county are Lee’s church (now Sharon) and Sul phur Springs at Pattersons. In the Baptist denomination Prospect, Sandy Run and Zion are the oldest in order named, being well over the century mark. The pioneer preachers of Clave, land county were Drewry Dobbins and James Webb, the latter the grand father of Judges E. Y. and J. L. Webb. Their early ministry which covered this section is largely responsible for the fact that the Baptists predominate in the county. Following them came another school of pioneers who found ed more churches: Thomas Dixon, Joe Suttle. John Ezell and Wade Hill. To day there are nearly 18,000 church members in the county with churches in every section. Road Building. A Mr. Powers who was elected to the legislature from Cleveland coun tv was the father of good roads in Cleveland. As a representative from Cleveland following the war. he pass ed a law requiring all male citizens between the sges of 18 and 45 to worit 12 days each year on the public high ways or be subject to punishment. As a result of that law, the roads were knot in fine condition for a few years, hut the law was unpopular and people condemned Mr. Powers and defeated j him for the legislatorRoad work, j however continued in this manner un ! til No. 2 township voted a special tax ! levy to hire the roads worked. Twen | ty yearn aero an effort was made to vote a county-wide bond issue of $200 000 for improved highways, but this election fatten twice, until finally No. 0 to W n:: h itK-yote<1 $100,000. Onp bv ope the other followed suit until today each of the 11 township:; has a bond issue and a highway core, mission of its own. with good snnd clav roads extending throughout the i length and breadth of the countv. These roads built on the township basis entailed bond issues ngercgat ing SG.tO.OOO. I>ut Cleveland has the reputation of havinp the finest systeVn of soil mads in North Carolina. Railroads. When Built. In I860 the old Carolina Central was under construction from Wilming ton to Rutherfordton with Asheville as its ultimate terminal. This road was being built largely by pri vate subscriptions and the matter of financing was fraught with hardships. Short stretches would be built, then the money would become exhausted and the work cease until more money was raised. The grading was done to Cherryville during the war and that was as far as trains could come in the sixties. Just after the war the rails were put down to Buffalo. Ten years later the road was completed to Ruth, erfordton. The Piedmont Air Line, now the main line of the Southern traversing: the southeastern portion of Cleveland, was built in 1876, the year of the Cen tennial of the Battle of Kings Moun tain was celebrated one of the great est events in the county's history. In 1886, ten years later the Ohio River and Charleston, later the Three C.’s, now the Southern from Blacksburg to Marion was built, aided by a bond is sue to the amount of $50,000 voted by Cleveland county. The last of these bonds matured last year. Agriculture, First Fertilizer Used. Before the war, crops had to be di versified because the means of con veyance were too slow and crude to permit much trading with the outside world. The people raised the necessi ties of life and exchanged sorghum, whiskey and tobacco for sugar and cofTee. The tobacco was packed in huge hogsheads, a bar passed through the center, shafts were fastened to the ends and the tobacco was rolled to Charleston. S. C. Although the roads were rough and creeks had to be ford ed, the tobacco usually reached there in safety. Charleston was the main trading center and later the trips were made in wngons, the distance requiring several weeks to go and re turn. The men made most of the shoes from home-tanned feather, the women spun and wove the cloth from wool, cotton and flax to clothe their families and slaves. Most of the farm ers had their own blacksmith shops and made their own crude plows and implements. Following the war, agriculture be gan to improve. Cotton which sold then from 35 to 40 cents became the j leading crop and has held supremacy I over since. The first sorghum seed were introduced in 1856. The first commercial fertilizer vdas used in 1868 and has increased every year since until today the county is one of the largest users of fertilizer in the state and ns a consequence is the fourth largest cotton producing coun ty, making nearly 40,000 bales last year on 42,000 acres. Before fertilizer came into use the farmers would plant only fresh land. After the fresh land was nlanted a few years it was “turned out,” that is, abandoned am* other land was cleared for patches. After awhile so much of the land was cleared and had been farmed for a few years, the farmers had to resort to fertilizer as a crop food. Last year new top records were established in agriculture. Fourteen of our leading crops brought a total of nine and a quarter million dollars, with cotton ranking first, corn second, dairy pro ducts third, eggs and poultry fourth The county last year took the honor away from Catawba as the leading dairy county in North Carolina. Our agricultural progress has been mar vellous and the Country Gentleman recently staed that “Cleveland is the most advanced agricultural county in North Carolina.” Industrial Growth. The first cotton factory was built at Double Shoals before the war by John Z. Falls and Peter Baxter. Later Major Schenck built another water driven mill with 2,000 spindles at Clev eland Mills, about a mile abo\g> Lawndale. Another one of the early industries was a paper mill at Buffa lo, four miles east of Shelby. This was built hv David Frnneberger who sold H. to John F. Tiddy who operated it during the war. A man by th* name of Stubbs later operated the mill and the station there was named for h*m. In the manufacture of paper, old rags were hought up and converted into pa ner. but when rains made the river muddy the paper had the same color. One by one other manufacturing nlants have sprung up. the growth in industries being principally in tlic textile line, encouraged this way be cause of the growth of cotton, until today we have 21 textile plant: pro ducing wel lover 15 million dollars worth of products annually. Tim population of the countv has steadily grown but it is from our own stoek of people. There is less tlmn a tenth of one per cent foreign horn and Cleveland todav has an estimated population of 40.000. The people are happy'and industrious and have a just, cause to be. because the total bank resources which best reflects the wealth of our people, readies the large sum of nine and three qnarter mil lion dollars. ? WINSTON VOTFS FOR $800,000 IN BONDS Winston-Salem, May 20.—The $800,000 school bond proposition was carried by a nice majority in the election held here.
