TUESDAY, JULY 15, 1921 $2.00 A YEAR IN ADVANCE Wlflp THINKS IT ISEISSE (ailed Cotton Blisrht And is Being Found in Many Found in Many Carolina Counties The disease being found in Cleve land county cotton may be black-arm, cotton blight, or Sam Baltimore's weather disease from the information given out by F. A. Wolf, of the state department of botany. The disease is traced and defined by Mr. Wolf, but not named . other than a “cotton blight.” Last week when farmers brought in infected stalks they were sent to Raleigh by County Agent Lawrence for examination by the bot anist. Apparently from newspaper accounts from all sections of the state a similar disease is worrying many North Carolina farmers. Ac cording to Mr. Wolf no similar dis ease has ever been reported in this state, and with the exception of Ar kansas has never been known in the entire country. The disease is caused by a fungus, known as Ascochyta gos svpii, states the botanist, and appears during a protracted rainy season, al ways being cheeked with warm, dry weather. The letter, which will he of interest to cotton farmers of the county, is as follows: “I am in receipt of specimens of cotton which accompanied your letter of recent, date. The same trouble has been reported within the last few days from at least a half dozen dif ferent counties. "As best we can determine this dis ease is one which has been investi gated only slightly. It has never been reported from North Carolina, and the only public account of it ap pears in a technical bulletin issued about two years aero from the Arkan sas Experiment Station. They found that the disease is caused by fungus to which the name Ascochvta gos sypii has been given. This fungus appeared in Arkansas after a pro tracted rainy period, and as soon as the rainy period ceased, the disease was checked. The same organism probably occurs on cotton year after year, but does no damage except un der extreme conditions of rain fall, such as have prevailed recently. Since no control measures have been work ed out anywhere, we can only suspect that the disease will be checked as suddenly as it appears, provided hot, drv days come. "The most characteristic sign of this blight is the presence of dark sunken spots at the base of the leaves. Immediately after the spots appear the leaves are shed. Such plants as are only slightly affected can be ex pected to put out new branches and new leaves. The same organism oc curs also on leaves and bolls form ing a rot somewhat like the well known boll rot. This form of disease can be expected if very rainy weather comes in late August.” What Veterans Are Entitled to Bonus I-ist of those who served in World l\ar who are entitled to bonus pay.

Since it has stopped raining^ every day, let the Carolina Motor Inn wash and grease your car.—Adv. Penchant for Rhode Island Reds and Dominiques Let Three Young l ellows Road Employment Sentences aggregating 22 months for the larceny of chickens, Rhode Island Reds and Dominiques, were dealt out last week by County Re corder B. 1. falls. Boh Towery drew one year; Ambrose Hoyle, six months and Shuford MeNeely, four months. The feathered flocks suffering from the invaders were in No. 8 and No. 9 townships, belonging to .1. R. Pack ard and Mrs. M. E. McNeeley and others. Fowery and Hoyle, known as "Am”, will not be unacquainted with the dut ies-required while one serves a sen tence imposed by the recorder, for not so many weeks back the two completed a six month sentence each for the larceny of a radiator belong ing to J. Forest Lutz. McNeeley has no previous record and as Judge Falls termed it “was just like the little dog Fray—fell in with the wrong crowd.” Last week the officers caught Towery “flat-footed*’—in his car with five sacks of fine Rhode Is land Red chickens. Thursday he faced the recorder for trial and was given one year on the roads. It came out of the hearing that “Am” Hoyle knew more than he should know about Tow ery's chicken transactions, and it leaked out that Hoyle was in the court room in the role of a spectator. In a few minutes, however, he be came a defendant and in a few more minutes was given a sentence of six months. Saturday morning Shuford Mc Neely faced the tribunal and was al lotted four months for his abil ity to dispose of chickens—other peo ple’s chickens. From his own testi mony and that of others it developed that Shuford had. a car and that the car wes an habitual user of gasoline, and that gasoline required money, and that chickens sold at rural stores produced nionev or so much gasoline in trade. McNeeley exnlained that the chickens were usually his fath ers or those of a neighbor and that he used thp money to take his father or a neighbor to a doctor—Judge Falls failed to understand the explan ation, being of the opinion that young McNeeley was unfortunate enough to he one of the hoys to fall unde! the influence of Towery. His part ing advice with the four months sen tence was that the bov at the com pletion of his term dispose of the car and stay away from Towery. At the same hearing Bezola Ham rick was placed under a $300 bond for superior court on the charge of forgery. Others were connected with the affair and the evidence at the pre ! limir.arv hearing was a bit befuddled. US, DEOSeI DIES AT FA11ST0N HOME Wife of E. F. De'linger is Buried At Fallston Baptist church. Was 57 Years Old I Mrs. Isabella Dellinger wife of Mr. Ephriam F. Dellinger, died Thurs I day at 5 p.m. at her Fallston home, ! at the age of 57 years, three months Uind 24 days. The funeral was con j ducted Saturday morning at 11 | o’clock at Falston Baptist church by Revs. G. P. Abernathy, assisted by Rev. Rush Padget, a former pastor. A’ great crowd was present and a rich floral offering attested the high es teem in which she was held. Mrs. Dellinger was a daughter of Mr. Zack Carpenter, and one of the most beloved women of that commun ity. Throughout many of her years of life she struggled against the in firmities of a frail body, but not with out a purpose. At the age of 13 she was converted and joined the Pleas ant Grove Baptist church, later mov ing her membership to the Fallston Baptist church ns a charter member, and only those who lived in close as sociation with her knew of her devo tion to her church. In early life she was married to Mr. E. F. Dellinger, there being added to this union two daughters, Edna and Tessie, now Mrs. Gettys Hoyle, of Charlotte, and Mrs. Tessie Cline, of Fallston; two sons, Broadus and Brantley Dellinger, of Fallston, all of whom survive, together with her husband, five grand children and a host of friends among whom she lived. Throughout her life there seems to have been one supreme effort put forth to serve others when the frail ties of life all but prohibited and it was so until the end—this change of habitation beyond which only she and God knows. The best way to prevent punctures and blow outs and to get real ser vice is to buy Hood Cord tires from Carolina Motor Inn.—Adv. Fivo ^ ear Old Child of Boiling Springs Is l,o«t Through Stormy Night—Parents Grief Stricken The most harrowing experience any | parents can have is to suffer the loss of a child, yet this is what came to i Mr. and Mrs. Z. \V. Howing ton of Boiling Springs on Wednesday night,! July 2nd. Hugh, their five year old child was lost for 12 hours in a down i pour of rain which swelled the stream | in the pasture to which he had gone' , and the whole community was aroused j in a fruitless search until the child was discovered the following morn- i ing at the home of Mr. Tom Phillips,1 three miles from the pasture to which I he had gone. Mr. Phillips heard the i faint crying of a child about four j |o’clock on Thursday morning and went | to investigate. He found the child exhausted in a cane patch near the home util! crying after he had wan dered through woods and fie'ds. call ing by homes too small to raise an alarm any more than cry with his feeble voire, the cry never to he heed ed until day was nearly dawning. Mr. and Mrs. Z. W. Iiowington, who live at Boiling Snr'tvs are the! parents of the child which was lost for 12 hours on a stormy night moved to Mr. Carl Hamrick's plantation from Georgia. They are highly re spected people and were among the most prominent and successful citi zens of their section of Georeia until the ravages of the holl weevil forced them to leave. They moved to Boiling Springs early this year and live near the home of Mr. Carl Hamrick whose son. Felix, was accustomed to going to the pasture for the cows with an older Howington daughter each even ing:. There are two routes to the pasture, one direct across a field and another circling around in another Ioneer hut better road. After they had pone to the pasture. Hugh, the five year old Howington hoy started to the pasture to accompanv them home, but they had returned the long er route. About the time Hueh reached the pasture the older child ren had reached the home with the cows. The older Howington grir-1 was immediately started by her mother to the pasture after Hugh. About the time she reached the pasture, a se vere electric, wind and rain storm came up and she was drenched before she made any headway in the search. She heard a faint cry of the child but unable to find it in the blinding ra>n storm, she started hack to the house to get here father. Knowing the danger they were in the father had already left home to have them .from the storm but when thov reach ed the pasture the cry could not he heard any more. There runs a small stream of water through the pasture, hut the heavy down pour of rain swelled the stream to immense pro portions. Immediately Mr. Howing ton thought the child was drowned so he sent for Mr. Hamrick who gave the alarm to the neighborhood. In a short time a helf hundred men were there in the rain searching for the child. The stream had swollen to such proportions that the strong men dared not cross it so they thought naturally that the child had drowned and they searched for miles down the raging stream, all to no avail. The search continued through the long stormy night and the searchers were soaking wet but this did not daunt them in their efforts. Sym pathy for a frantic mother and fath er pushed them on. Day came Thurs day morning and still the child had not been found although they had in quired at every home in the neigh borhood and none reported hearing or seeing r lost child. About » o ciock next morning Mr. Tom Phillips reported to his neigh bors that he was the proud possessor of an abandoned child. Mr. Phillips is up in years and wanted a child in the home so he thought some parents had abandoned it along the roadside. About 4 o’clock that morning he heard the distressing wail of a child and went to investigate. In a cane patch near the door, he found the crying child, exhausted from his rright of harrowing experiences. He took him in and inquired his name but the 'five year old only knew “Hugh” so Mr. Phillips did not know a “Hugh” boy in the neighborhood. The search ing party was still travelling when the news came that Hugh had been found. It was a disappointment to Mr. Phillips to give him up, but a cause for rejoicing in the Howington home when Hugh returned. He re members very well for a boy of his age his experience that night. He slept a short while on a honeysuckle vine saw big wold beases in the woods, stopped at houses and cried but “no one would let him in.” Mr. and Mrs. Howington tell of their joy over the child’s return in these words: “We wish to thank the people of Boiling Springs and surrounding com munity for their aid in the search for our dear little boy who was lost, but TWO TOWNS PLANNING FOROfCTRICnY Hoi]inu Springs Asked (o .loin Lntti more in Move for Electric Lighting System. Mooreshorn Considering The program launched hy !hi> coun ty hoard of agriculture last week to elect rify the rural section of Cleve land county is making headway, Boil ing Springs having decided to join Lattimore in the erection of munici pally owned lighting systems. By early fall it is expected’ that the movement will reach the rural sec tions from these smaller towns and that in the course of years the rural homes will he equipped with electric 1'ght.s. A short time ago Lattimoro started the movement, issuing $15,000 in bonds with which to provide the light plant. Lattimore has asked Boiling Springs to join them and Mooresboro is also considering a bond issue for the same purpose. The two or three towns coi^ld secure a power sub-station cheaper bv haring one station serve them all, so since I.nt timore is going on with her plans, Boiling Springs is talking s bond is sue of $10,000 to provide a lighting system there. Both towns have been consulting engineers with a view of arriving at the cost of the plants and hare been assured by Mr. Fox. who has charge of contracts for the Southern Power Company thnt this company will pro vide power if the towns decide soon that they want to purchase the same. Some two years ago a movement was started by individuals in Boiling Springs. Mooresboro and F.llenboro for a privately owned lighting plant to serve these three towns. A char ter was granted, but it was learned later that the cojt was more than the stockholders thought it would he, so they abandoned their plans. Now that Lattimore has started with a municipally owned plant, it is the con sensus of opinion that whatever de velopment is made along this line should be by the towns rather than by individuals. HUH STRIKES CAR AT KINDS H A Ford coupe, occupied by three negro men was struck by a freight train on a crossing at Kings Moun tain Sunday afternoon about 4 o’clock and the car was completely demolish^ ed, although the neroes were not ser iously injured. According to accounts from there the negro driving stated that he saw the train just as he reached the track, but lost his nerve and was unable to stop. The car was knocked some 20 feet down the track towards the de pot, the accident taking place on the Shelby-Kings Mountain highway crossing just north of the depot. The negroes were taken to Finger Drug company where it was found that there were not seriously injured although they were considerably bruised and scratched. Their escapa is credited to the fact that the freight was not making more than 12 or 15 miles. One negro was from Mt. Holly another from Statesville and the third from Greenville, and after their in juries were dressed they left on the next train for their respective homes. Some Fast Baseball During This Week Shelby baseball followers will have the oportunity this week to witness two fast baseball frames—provided it does not rain tre contests out, which has been the case during several games scheduled lately. The first game will be Thursday afternoon with the strong Loray mill club, of Gas tonia, and the other Saturday with the Cramerton mill club. The “town team,” as it is known is expected to furnish strong opposi tion in both affairs, although they have had very little practice in re cent weeks. The Loray outfit is considered one of the fastest indepen dent clubs in this section and has a good record for the season, while the Cramerton club is also made up of college and semi-pro stars and have been winning many games.

Local Guardsmen Make High Mark I.ed By Captain McSwain and Corporal Leonard The young men of Cleveland coun ty that make up the Cleveland Guards Company “K”, 120th Infantry, North Carolina National Guard troops, are | making a fine showing on the rifle range at Camp Glenn, Morehead City, according to the several accounts is sued from the camp headquarters. Saturday the third battalion, of which Company K is a part, was in regular practice on the range and established a good record. Captain Peyton McSwain with 220 out of a possible 250 tied with a non commissioned officer of nnother com pany for second honors in the bat talion. Corporal C. F, Leonard with 211> was second in the local company and third highest in the battalion. Says Staley Cook, writing from camp headquarters: “From the banks of Bogue sound Friday a withering fire was poured by gunners of the howitzer company, Gastonia, in a demonstration conduct ed by the company commander. Cap tain S. B. Dolly, and Captains Lamai Weaver and James TL Barbin, United States army. Most of the regiment looked on. a ifw numireti yard? away there going on an incessant rifle fire, with the third battalion firing the record course. Had the guardsmen had their aims on living targets, there would have been no chance for them to survive. The two high score men of each company were: Captain C. H. Burnett, 2.11, Private P. P. Platt 219, company I; Sergeants W. A. Phillips, 220, William Ferguson, 208, company L; Captain Peyton Mc Swain, 220, Corporal C. F. Leonard, 219, company K; Sergeants R. T. Jackson, 210; J. H. McKinnon, head quarters company. The scores were out of a possible 250. With the high score. Captain Burnett led and made expert rifleman. Two other battal ions are yet to fire. “That soldiers are practical jokers may be discovered in a thousand pranks they play. When Sergeant Carl D. Lancaster, of campany L. went to sleep last night he was pos sessed with a nice moustache. Today when he awoke it was gone! He looked about and found it scattered Iv hi scot. He offered $10 reward. Sergeant Edward I. Phillips, of the same company, with a special detail, made a futile search for the jokers. The company is from Parkton. “Boxing and wrestling has begun in earnest. Friday night near a dozen boxers and grapplers were in the amphitheater. Battling Luke Car penter, of Burlington, was presented and challenged any man in the camp near his weight. He had no accept tance, although it is expected he will get in action. “During the week-end a general exodus was on. Many of the boys have not been out of the camp. They have been too busy most of the time, and when they are not they choose “bunk fatigue" to the rush of a little time for a fishing trip or surf visit. Old Fort Macon draws many a visi tor to ramble through its passages. Thousands upon thousands of names are written pn the interior walls, names that in mute silence hold each a separate story.” Temperament Differs In State Leaders Raleigh Times Speaks of Governor Morrison and Max Gardner At Democratic Convention Raleigh Times. Max Gardner says that New York has been altogether hospitable as re gards the North Carolinians attend ing the Democratic Convention and that, so far as he had observed, none of the delegation has been insulted, presumably by friends of A1 Smith. The big difference between Max and Cam is of temperament. Max looks on everybody as friendly, Cam has a perchant for slights and heart burnings. Max's hide is not so thick as to be impervious, but he does not get hot over cool treatment. If A1 Smith or any of the rest of the boys get rough or refuse to play with Max, he will simply retire and find another companionship. But Governor Morrison knows no recipe for a slight, real or fancied, save to raise hell about it. If he can’t find one of his own he will adopt a friend’s. Built for cussing other folks, he has been on edge all the while he has been in New York. He had to break out and either mar tyrize himself or some of his house hold. His friends, his acquaintances, his admirers and non-admirers would have all been disappointed if he had gone to New York without strutting some of his stuff that has made his name a household word in this section of Dixie. Rev. W. A. Murray, Speaker of Even ing, Describes “Fool’s Hill’’ Period of Boy’s Life Thursday evening at Cleveland Springs the Kiwanians of 1924 hon ored the Kiwanians of 19.15, the oc-' casion being “P'ather and Son Night.” About 125 fathers and sons were present and were deeply impressed by Ihe main feature of the evening, "Combing Fool’s Hill,” by Rev. W. A. Mtfrr; v, pastor of the First Presby terian church, whose hobby is better relationship between father and son. "Fool’s Hill” is thr idolescent age, the transformation of childhood into manhood and the most important per i»d of a boy, according to the speak er. “It may be five years from thft bottom to the top of Fool’s Hill—■ from 14 to the age of 19—or more, but in that period lies the work of a father, the possibility of making the realization of his own ambition for his boy. All boys encounter Fool’s Hill.. Some dodge it, but very few, and others make of it an extended excursion.” The speaker referred to “Father arid Son Nights” as some thing to engender a feeling towards fathers similar to that felt towards mothers on Mother's Day. “There is coming a time when Dad will mean something more than the family meal ticket and be regarded otherwise than the family national bank, and such meetings as these, promoting a bet ter relationship between father and son, will breed such a spirit,” Rev. Mr. Murray declared. The most im portant change in a boy’s life takes place while he climbs Fool’s Hill, and me way mese manges are maae nave a direct bearing: on the remainder of his life. In that period the father may pilot the changes and direct the course by engendering confidence and frankness between himself and his sons; by being a pal, man enough to be respected, but friendly and hu man enough to be loved, was the substance of the exhortation to fath ers. Two phases of the changes in the boy during this period were taken up—physical and mental. The physical is marked by the change of voice, the budding of a boy into a man, and sex consciousness; the men* tal by conception of the world in gen eral, realization of right and wrong. How a father may help the climb in each phase was taken up in conclu sion by the Presbyterian pastor. It was a brief talk but very appropriate to the occasion, one that could hard ly have been improved on, because the significant note apparently struck its mark. The program was directed by J. P. Ledford, who has charge of the July entertainment, and the introduction by President Mull was in the nature of a welcome to the joint meeting of two Shelby Kiwanis clubs—one of 1924, the other the imaginary of some ten years hence. The invitation was for fathers as well as sons and a number of fathers were present with their Kiwanian sons—although eager eyed, happy youth formed the major part of the guest list. Conference Here for The 75 Million A conference was he4d at the First Baptist church, Shelby Monday, at which pastors and workers of tRe various Baptist churches of Cleveland attended, Dr. Chas. E. Maddry, cor responding secretary of the state mis sion board conferring with them in regard to the seventy-five million dol lar campaign which is being closed up. The purpose of the conference was to hasten the winding up of the old program in order that it might not interfere with the new program which the Baptist denomination in the south will soon undertake. The con ference was well attended and th® meeting was happy to have as an other distinguished guest, Dr. M. L. Kesler, General Manager of the Bap tist Orphanage, at Thomasville.
