During the pant week the “corn ear worm” also known as the boll worm was reported in several sections of Cleveland county, for the most part, however, in the Palm Tree section of No. 9 township. The pest is very simi-j lar to the army worm and is so con sidered oftimes when found. Although the worm is reported in the crops of several farmers County Agent Law- ] rence says that the farmers should not! be alarmed as the worm is not as de-1 ^tractive as the weevil and is more easily controlled. Farmers in the Palm Tree section j reporting the corn er.r worm included L. E. Lee, John Philbeck, Leroy Ives ter and A. Y. McMurry. There Is gen erally an outbreak of the worm each, season, but a controlling factor is the parasitic fly. The fly lays an egg on j the worm, says the county agent, which hatches into a grub that enters and kills the worm. The best and most convenient method of controlling the worm, he further said, i» by poisoning with calcium arsenate. “Farmers whose crops are invaded should not become alarmed but use calcium ar» senate which will wipe out the pest,” declared Mr. Lawrence. The worm originates in vetch fields and attacks corn and cotton. Webster’s International defines the worm as: “The larva of a noctuid moth which devours the bolls or unripe pods of the cotton plant—. Also feeds on ears of corn, and on tomatoes, beans, etc.” High* Defeat Fart Ozark Mill Team Playing a benefit game here Sat urday afternoon the local Highs de feated the fast Ozark mill club of Gastonia 4 to 1. It was the best game the highs have participated in here this year, the opposing club being made up of semi-pros and college stars including Huffstetler of Wash ington and Lee, and Torrence of Georgia Tech. The game was a hurling duel be, tween Hoyle Lee for the Highs and Henderson for the visitors, with Lee having the edge of the bat tle. The high school star gave up only four scattered hits and whiffed six men, while Shelby touched Henderson for six safeties, half of them being for extra bases. Both twirlers tightened up in the pinches and no runner pass ed the midway bag until after the fifth frame. Beam, Wilson and Huff stetler led the hitting. Play Here Thursday. The Highs will meet the Arlington club, of Gastonia, here Thursday aft ernoon in a game that should draw a large attendance. Last week Arling ton defeat id the Highs 5 to 0 at Gas tonia, but the locals made a good shewing and had given Lee errorless support might have won. Two semi pros well known in his section, Jake Donaldson and Van Pelt, are with the Arlington outfit, and Donaldson Is scheduled to pitch here Thursday. Many Shelby fans who have only wit nessed the Highs in action during the high school season should see the state champions fight like oldtimers against an experienced outfit like the one to play here Thursday. Hennessa, of last year’s squad, is playing second and Connor has been shifted to third with a speedy inner works as a result. Saturday’ game: R. H. E.

Charlotte Lions At Cleveland Springs The number of week-end visitdrs at Cleveland Springs, Shelby’s popular resort, was considerably increased by the special outing there Saturday and Sunday of members of the Lions club of Charlotte. One hundred and eigh teen in all, members and friends, were registered at the hotel Saturday ev ening. The afternoon was spent by the Queen City visitors in a golf tourna ment, swimming and tennis. A dinner dance wa3 held in the evening, the music beig furnished by the club or chestra. The number of couples danc. ing made it necessary to bring into use the large dining room. Many mem bers of the club with their wives and families remained over for the week end. With the weather warming up there were probably more guests at the Springs than on any previous week end and the new rooms recently completed were brought into use. It wasa nnounced Monday that drive way from the highway around the hotel, which was recently paved and is an added convenience to the resort, would be opened Tuesday or Wednes HOTTEST WEATHER IN SEVERAL YEARS i r -i -■ Thermometer Registers 110 in Clare of Son’s Rays—One Horse Dies from Overheat. The hottest weather in many years prevailed in this section Thursday, Friday and Saturday, some relief com ine last Saturday afternoon when a ‘light hreezo cooled the atmosphere. People watched the thermometers which of course, varied according to location, hut the correct temperature should he around 102 degiees. Mr. T. W. Kbeltoft who keeps a record of high and low temperatures is author ity for the statement that a high re cord for several years was establish ed when his “Big Ben” registered 102. Frank Hoc'y hung a thermometer on a water crate in front of the Cleveland Drug store Friday and it ran up to 110. Of course the glare of the sun and the rebound from the pavement had something to do with this high record, hut folks have to move around m the glare of the nun and the reflec tion from the sidewalks, so they felt the effects of 110 degrees. In shady rooms where the coolest temperature was supposed to prevail, thermome ters registered 90 to 98 degrees. Soda fountains wore kept busy serv ing cool and refreshing drinks in Shelby and both ice plants were de livering as rapidly as possible during the heat wave, but the cooling bever ages only served to temporarily re lieve the discomforts. The most frequented place in Shel by was the new Memorial fountain on the court square which was recently completed and is now flowing at four drinking fountain*. So popular was the fountain that people had to wait for m drink. Folks came with jugs and bottles to carry the “free and fresh" home totheir families. It was reported that a negro farm hand living on Decatur Elmore’s plan tation died from overheat while work ing in the fields on Friday, but this proved to be a mistake. Mr. Elmore says the negro died from tuberculosis. He came home from Chicago a short time ago and has been confined to his bed with this disease. W. H. Blanton losta fine black horse Saturday from overheat. The horse was one of a pair which he pris ed very highly. They were pulling a mower in an oat field when one be came Overheated and later died from prostration.

After watching them “make a run' the officers arrested the three upon their return to town.

Cleveland county awoke Sunday morning to find an apparently end less stream of tourists and week-end motorists pouring through the county on‘the new highway, "N. C. 20” com pleted just in time for the usual swarm of week-end lovers of the open trail. The completion during the week of the link between Kings Mountain and Shelby of the highway, one of the best scenic roads in North Carolina, means much to the county and almost as much to the outside world as was evidenced byq the heavy traffic on the first day the detour signs were re moved. Tfte opening was not jusi from Shelby to Kings Mountain, or Shelby to Charlote, but one of the longest stretches of pavement in the state, Shelby to Hillsboro and joins the east with the west. Since the ar rival of warm weather the annual flock of visitors to the mountain sec tion has been on and the detours and incomplete highway have turned them on other routes than the direct one. Cleveland Springs, Chimney Rock, Hendersonville and Asheville are now at the end of an open and inviting stretch of highway, which will be learned with interest both by the tour ists and the people of the countryside through which they pass. Sunday with the announcement that the road was open tourists here tofore directed by another route were again turned this way and with the Cleveland county people inspecting their new road the traffic was prob ably the heaviest ever known on any road in the county. The road bordered on each side with sloping and wooded hills or rolling and fertile fields has a semi-mountain lure that will make the link between Bessemer, City and Shelby famous throughout the state. Although the paving has been com pleted the sides adjoining the pave ment has not been graded and is as yet rather dangerous to travel in a heavy traffic where one car may forced to leave the pavement. Despite this fact the steady "sip” of one speed ing car parsing another was heard all day long between Shelby and Char lotte. In fact the highway had the ap pearance of a busy city street with a large number of Charlotte and Gas tonia people, motoring to Cleveland Springs adding to the continuous stream. , Wreck on First Day.. The first day’s travel was marred b ya near serious collision just beyond the new concrete bridge over Buffalo creek between a big Studebaker bus on the Charlotte-Shtlby bus line and * a Ford touring car. Both cars were badly damaged, but reports have it that no one was more than slightly injured. The Ford was said to have been driven by Mrs. Will Logan of Kings Mountain and was coming to wards Shelby, the bus going in the opposite direction. One report of the accident said that Mrs. Logan’s car ran off the pavement on the right side and that in turning back on the road the cars collided. The Ford was bad ly smashed up and the big bus was many feet from the roadway and also damaged about the front. Only, one passenger was said to have been In the bus. * CONTRACTS LET FOR NEW SUNDAY SCHOOL Presbyterian Church to Spend About $30,000—Little and Dudley Are Awarded Contracts.
