However General Belief is That They Were Struck By Train While Asleep The triple tragedy at Grover late Sunday night when three negroes. Jim Degree, Rederick Scruggs and "Kirt’ Mitchell, were killed was a topic of much discussion in that sec tion and over the county generally this week. Many rumors and sup positions were afloat suggesting that the negroes met death in some other manner than being struck by a train, but when traced down the rumors proved false 6r without satisfactory origin, and the general belief now is that the negroes were killed by the train, as stated in the verdict of the coroner’s jury, although the details will probably remain a mystery for all time. It was reported here Tuesday that one of the negroes examined by the coroner later stated in Kings Moun tain that he knew more about the killing than he had told and that it was not done by the train. Chief Irvin Allen conveyed the report to Sheriff Logan, who had the negro examined by officers, but the negro stuck to his first story of being with the three other negroes until about 11:30 when they left him and pro ceeded up the road in the direction of where their bodies were found. The report is thought to have had its origin among the negroes around Kings Mountain and as is common with rumor gained speed and length as passed from mouth to mouth. Many other rumors hinting at a mys mgnt siaugnter and of death by lightning were heard, but all were apparently creatures of imaginative winds in discuasing the triple trag Hy. For the most part Groyer peo ple, white and colored, are of the °pinion that the negroes fell asleep while on the track, probably under the influence of drink. From the nature of the injuries it appears that they must hare had their heads rest 'ng on the ends of the crossties or r,n the rail between the ends of the ties as the death blow for each was received on the head. degree was buried Tuesday at a colored church near Patterson "brings, while Scruggs was buried Wednesday at a cemetery north of •affney. The body of Mitchell, who. was not a native of the Grover sec tion, was taken to an undertaking establishment at Kings Mountain. It was reported at Grover Wednesday hat the railroad had given, or would give, $25 for the burial expenses of each negro. As is usually the case, curiosity and superstition attracted many negroes to the funerals. F ollow the crowds and eat at Heavy’s Cafe.—Advt. Mr*. Crisp is Shocked and Confined to Her Bed.

Ripny in the Hollv Grove community in South Carolina last Friday and was buried at Antioch church Saturday afternoon, the funeral being conduct ed by Rev. W. O. Johnson of Grover. Mrs. Rippy who was in her 69th year, had been a member of Antioch church since her girlhood. She was married to Mr. Edward Rippy in 1897 whom she survived just four years to the day, his death having occurred on the 27th of June 1920. Mrs. Rippy had been an invalid for several years and her death though a shock to the rela tives was not unexpected. She is sur vived by one brother Mr. John Whis nant of Blacksburg, S. C.

An electric discharge blew the fuses in several homes in the north ern end of town. The same stroke passed through the house of Mr. S. A.

Ideal Ice Plant To Be Greatly Enlarged The Ideal Ice plant owners are plan ning to enlarge the plant to give it a daily capacity of 34 tons of icp and work leading to this will he started this summer, but it is not expected that the additional output will be available until next summer. The Ideal Ice and Fuel Company was started two years ago and business has grown so rapidly the ice plant found it neces sary to increase its original capacity of ten tons to fourteen tons daily. Even now the plant’s capacity is not sufficient to meet the requirements of its customers and during the hot days that prevailed during June the Ideal found it necessary to buy ice in Cherryville and Charlotte to supply its customers. C. B. Cabaniss and Gus Kendrick have charge of the local plant. The clown business has been recog nized as a profession in France. The great trouble about it is that so many people can qualify.

Webb Grant ing Him Privilege to Join City Hall Wall on East The mayor and board of aldermen in special session this week executed a trade with J. E.' Webb, owner of the old Central Methodist church, whereby J. E. Webb was sold the privilege of joining the city hall wall on the east for the sum of $2,000 and the town purchases from J. E. Webb 50 feet to the rear of the old church fronting N. Woshington street for $5,000, making a difference of 83.000 which the town is to pay Mr. Webb. There was some difference in the frontage of the property and the question arose as to whether Mr. Webb’s new wall, if he builds, would close the office windows of the east side of the city hall. Feeling that a future need will arise for more office ' space, the city officials decided to i make this trade with Mr. Webb so ! that the city fire department can be moved to the rear of the city hall and the present fire station con verted into offices. The additional lot which the city acquires because of this transaction gives the town 50 feet through from the Star alley to N. Washington street with an al ley on the entire north side. This space could eventually be converted into a fire department, thinks the mayor and board, so the entire city hall could be converted into execu tive ofifces. FOLLIES MINSTREL SHOW NEXT THURSDAY Rehearsals for “Tha Folliee” big minstrel show to be given next Thurs day and Friday, July 10th and 11th under the auspices of Boy Scouts, troop No. 2 ara now going on and a good show is assured. There will be over 100 taking part in the var ious special attractions featuring the Boy Scouts, a large company of min strel midgets, and little girls from seven to ten years old,. A band of civilised Indian girls in a delightful love song, chorus and dance. This is to be followed in Part I, with a number from “Sis Hopkins and her Beau Billious” with the fa mous “Don't Argue Case” of Web ber and Fields fame, and which will be one of the big laughs by two of our most gifted artists, in vaudeville acts. The average man of today is more than the breadwinner—he has to pay for the gasoline and oil, too. The employer who never loses the viewpoint of his employees is the one who has the best chance to get along. ■ ^ MCADOO BTILL LEADS CONVENTION VOTE On the Slat ballot Thursday af ternoon. William G.

McAdoo reached a high water mark Wednesday' night with 505 vote« and it seemed as if the break I might be to him, but Thursdays balloting again decreased his le;:d I over Smith. IW i .. 4 LETTERS APPEAR 1 BODY OASTON CIO Strangs Phenomenon EirRcs (iastonia People. Mysterious Letters Show On Flesh. Gastonia, July 1.—People in the vi cinity of the Winget mill are excited over a strange natural phenomenon which has appeared on the person of litttla Dorothy Parrot, four-year-old daughter of R. S. Parrot, who lives on the York road just south of the Win get cotton mill. Three mysterious letters of a blood red color appeared Saturday on the body of the child and no reason can be given by the father or mother as to why the letters have appeared. The plainly visible letter* “R I C” appear on the flesh and appear as though they were stamped by a rubber stamp except that they read from right t« left instead of left to right as in ordinary reading matter. Hearfhg about the curiosity from an observer, a reporter went to the home erf Mr. Parrot and investigated for himself. Mrs. Parrot herself told him th*i the child has always been a perfect picture of health and indeed the smiling fair haired and rosy cheeked girl looked as well as anyone. A bright red spot appeared on the child’s abdefmen Sakhrday a week ago, but aa it gave no pain, it was net no ticed much by mother or child. How ever last Saturday the letters ap peared in the place where the bright est red had shown. Little Dorothy had been bathed and put to bed between white sheets but several hours later when riw awakened, she showed her mother the letters that had appeared. All efforts to wash the letters off failed and the members of the family thought perhaps that it was a kind of nettlerash or summer heat that ap peared in a rather peculiar formation. Several physicians have examined the child and they say that they can as cribe no reasons for the letters. The parents state that she has not had ac cess to any kind of pajnts, neither had she been around and lettered signs or the like that might have left their im print on the skin. The letters themselves are about an inch in height and perfectly formed. On the upper edge, there is a kind of scalloped effect outlined in red against the skin. No one who has seen the child can give any plausible reason for the appearance of the letters and the subject remains a mystery for the hundreds that have seen them. Government Predicts 12,144,000 Bale Crop Washington, July 2.—A cotton crop of 12,144,000 bales this year was fore cast today by the department of agri culture. The area of cotton in cultivation is about 40,403,000,000 acres, an in crease of 1,702,000 acres, or 4.4 per cent as compared with the revised esti mate of acreage in cultivation a year ago. The estimate acreage and condition on June 25 by state* follows: Virginia, acreage 92,000 and condi tion 61 per cent. North Carolina, 1,823,000 and 73. South Carolina, 2,125,000 and G9. Georgia, 3,767,000 and 75. Florida, 111,000 and 79. Alabama, 3,190.000 and 70. Mississippi, 3,356,000 and 74, Louisiana, 1,637,000 and 78. Texas, 15,595,000 aand 70. Arkansas, 3,058,000 and 66.

About 140,000 acres in Lower Cali fornia (old Mexico,) included in Cali fornia figures but excluded from Unit ed States total acreage. There is more fun in pursuing hap piness than in catching up with it. The vale of a family tree depends upon the quality of its branches. Virtue wins its own rewards and a microscope is not needed to find them.

Is Getting ToO’ Many Collect Mes sages. LW3i ItXdlo Fid*' IItar -1 Gardner in Convention Radio owners and fans .in Shelby have been ‘ tuning in” on the big New York convention each night and around each set gathers a group of politicians and embryo politicians. Although the results have hot been so good and there is about as much discord in the static as the convention it has been possible to catch the bal loting and announcement of results. The balloting proceeds by states al phabetically. The announcer on tho platform calls the state and mim i her of votes and the state chairman announces how the state delegation ! votes. Following the “North Caro jlina—24“ by the convention announc er, local people have several times ! heard distinctly the voice of O. Max ! Gardner, state delegation chairman, announcing the Tar Heel vote. Mr. Gardner does not do all the announc ing but has been heard here on sev eral different hallots. Wiring Max Too Much A number of local people have wired the Shelby man asking him to “stick to McAdoo” and from a story by Ben Dixon MacNeill in the Raleigh News and Ohaerver other people also are wiring the formet lieutenant governor—some of them permitting the “C.O.D.” slip to ac company the message. Over- two thousand dollars worth of telegrams were received by the “down home” folks Wednesday. Says Ben Dixon: “Delegates grab telegrams from home eagerly, but Chairman Max Gardner has begun to be a little wary of them. Just today he has got ad vices from a home that cost him $93.35 in cash money. He likes to have advice and encouragement, but when it comes that high, or in other words, when it is sent collect, he is beginning to feel that it would he as well to send them by mail. He would n’t mind paying the postage,-^ “The local papers report delegates have left because they have no more money to spend. Two Vir ginians back of the Tar Heel delega tion were computing the cost of the shindy to the delegates today, and thcv arrived at the conclusion that $500,000 alone would not cover the actual daily running expenses of the delegates. The convention itself costs some, and the candidates still have money for judicious uses.” Born to Mr. and Mrs. Rush Ham rick Thursday morning, a fine son. Mrs. Bob Laney of Monroe, who is visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John R. Dover, had as her delightful week end guests here schoolmates, Mrs. A1 Thomas of Charlotte and Miss Adele Cross of Clarksville, Tenn.

This plan, coming at a season when business is inclined to be slack, af fords a short vacation and breathing spell each week for employer and employe.

MliKll * TO GET m L1C0BE To Date the Local Bureau Has Is sued 2,769 Plates—Only Half Through Those who failed to secure their new automobile license number plates by July 1st as required by law, have been granted an extension of time. Secretary of State W. N. Everett has wired every auto license bureau in the state announcing that a fifteen day extension has been granted be cause of the inability of the 24 state bureaus to handle the business in the required length of time. Mr. YV. \V. Hoey, in charge of the bureau at Eskridge garage, announc ed yesterday that he had issued 2,769 auto numbers and collected ap proximately f40,000, but he is just a little over half through the job. There are over 4,000 motor vehicles in Cleveland county and practically all of these are buying license num bers from the local bureau, while many auto owners are coming froita other counties. The local bureau will be closed July 4th by order of the Secretary of the State and no numbers will be issued today because of the holiday, but Mr. Hoey will open again Saturday morn ing and start on the last lap of his long and strenuous job. Every day the local bureau has been crowded witjj people in waiting. Some have been disappointed by not being waited on by closing time at 5 o’clock in tha afternoon, but Mr. Hoey with his as. sistants are doing everything in their power to issue the license plates as fast as possible, at the time having a regard for accuracy in keeping the records straight. BISHOP HORNER AT EPISCOPAL CHURCH 6th Bishop Horner of the Asheville diocese will conduct the services at the Shelby Episcopal church Sunday. Celebration of the holy communion at 7:30 a. m.

Small grain, such as wheat and oats have been under har vest, but the rains have damaged these crops and interfered with har vest. There is a reason why so many eat at Heavy’s Cafe. Try to find it. *
