Officers and men of the company hope to bring to Shelby an attractive loving cup given the company making the highest record in three battal ions. Not only has the company made a good record on the range, but as the youngest company in camp, the officers, Captain McSwain and Lieu tenants Austell and Long, have re ceived considerable praise from su perior officers and other companies for appearance on drill, receiving ap plause each time passing the regi mental stand; and on inspection have received praise from the camp com mander, Col. Don FI Scott. There is plenty of attraction with the Y. M. C. A. movies, prize fighting and other things, and on Sunday there is Sun day school and regular preaching ser vices. The camp is in good condition and is a very fine place for a young man to spend a vacation of two weeks. “The man who wears the most ser vice stripes of any one in camp is Sergeant H. A. ■Whitsett, of the Reidsville headquarters company. He has been in the guard for 24 years, and the first time he came to Camp Glenn was not long after the place was known as Carolina City. In those days, he says, the men drew no pay, paid their own board and slept on the ground.” Court-view Hotel changed manage ment this week, Mrs. Kate L.

DON RICHARDSON, NOTED VIOI.IN 1ST PASSED THROl'GH Dun Richardson, noted violinist, of Charlotte, passed through Shelby yes terday en route to the mountains to spend a week “playing” around. He does not l ave a single one of his 3| violins with hint, hut he is playing in the sense that he is enjoying an outing arid a much needed rest, visit ing Bill Fetzer’s boy’s camp at Bre vard where he will frolic with the boys. Mr. Richardson is a judge of violins and perhaps owns more than any other individual in the south. Re cently there appeared in The Star a Tmtire irf-a Stradivarius violin in the Lattimore section. Mr. Richardson is a North Carolinian and is perfectly willing to examine and pass upon the worth of violins. Recently he paid $900 for one instrument and says some of them have sold for as high as $10,000. Mr. Richardson has ap peared in concert in Shelby on sev eral occasions in years gone by and many of his Shelby friends hope for a return engagement next fall.

Filfhtinj; are working- feverishly this week, thi first dry week in iilnm-t a month. f)ne week aye prop pr >-n -rt in th county., one of the leading cotton counties of the state, were rath , di couraging. Continued mins dav after day for weeks prevented all fie-'d work and cotton was nearin r tia* point where it would ha -another? d with grass, and furthermore >mb tied rains brought on a new Might black arm or some similar d ‘s-e that was baffling and looked di-a trons Rnf this week a b'nz'p" .1 !y sun has dispelled the gloom that was overhanging the cour ty ami tw more days of sunshine will he favorable to another roenrd crop thi fall. The blight, nev? r define-1 a \ to,, clearly, was, without question, dec indirectly to wet weather. Follows: the finding of diseased stalls- in th-. county other counties in the 1’ie.lhmnt section began beseiging Ita!et„h f information on a similar blight 1 was the fir-t appearance of th - blight in this state according to the ‘ate department of agriculture, and there seemed to he no remedy hut contin ued dry, an?! warm weather. The blight and the growing grass had the farmers worried a dull neriod was even noticed by loyal merchants. But this week of sunshine has e ,.;lnt much and the farmer and ho- force are taking advantage of every mo ment of daylight and the plows and hoes are being worked overtime in every section of Cleveland' There has been a scarcity of farmers in town all this week, hut the merchants and business men understand why and are pleased second only to the farm ers. In looking over the cron of the county it is noticeable that cotton, blooms are somewhat late—not very late, just. enou'*. to he noticeable. This is explained by the f - t that the crop itself, or planting, v. a - some 15 days or two weeks late. A -her; time hack county agent Lawrence e - timated that the crop as a whole vn 12 days late. However discouraging the outlook for the piist two weeks, the cotton crop in general over the county looks good. South Carolina cotton, so far as seen, does not appear anything like as healthy or in as good condition, and at the end .if this week, judging from the rush of the farm folk, the grass crop will he on the de fensive and tho cotton on the offen sive. Thompson Company Is Again Running The Thompson Lumber company, whose phint was almost totally de stroved hv fire a few weeks ai m will be in full operation in a few days, according tri Mr. Tati S. Thompson, proprietor. New buildings have been erected and new equipment installed so that the plant is really in more up-to-date condition than it was be fore the disastrous fire. The very latest machinery has been added and since the two story brick garage building is being used in addition t the new sheet iron buildings that have been erected, this gives more floor space for manufacturing than the mill nad before the fire. Before the embers died after the fire, Mr. Thompson was at work with his in domitable courage rebuilding the plant, part of which has been in oper ation for a week and the remainder will be in operation next week.

CUGE IK HIGHWAY 1.1 < irculnte Petition Asking for State Highway to (»o By Boiling Springs And Cliffside Petitions and counter petitions have Keen in circulation recently in this and Rutherford counties regarding a change jn the route of State High way No. 20 from Shelby to Forest City. The change proposed by the petition is that the route be by Boil ing Springs and Cliffside and then to Forest City and on to Rutherford ton instead of the present route, which after leaving Shelby is by Moorosboro and Kllenboro to Forest City. The counter petition favors the road a- it is without any change. The change proposed hinges on that time that the road is to be hard sur faced. There are points fawn-able to the present route and the change, and points not so favorable to either and •he petitions or their supporters are letting all the points he known. The first and big argument for the eh an "p is that bv the proposed route the highway will open the manufac turing center at Cliffside, Henrietta and Caroleen, the biggest, tax paying section in Rutherford county,' it is said. Furthermore, it will connect Boiling Springs by a state highway with the outside world. Still anoth er argument for the change is that by the proposed route highway 20 could tap highway No. 207 at Cliffside, and that highway is under state upkeep and has the likelihood of also being paved, making one stretch of pave ment answer the purpose of two high, ways from Cliffside to Forest City’. Against the proposed change is the fact that Ellenboro, Mooresboro and Lattimore, which is iust off the pres ent route, would be without state highway connections. The present route is state surveyed, direct and there is no reason why it should he changed, says the counter petition, so that a section that is already on one highway. No. 207. should be on two highways. Another argument presented by those holding to the present route is that the proposed change would make the distance longer from Shelby to Forest City and that there is a difference of a number of miles in the two routes. As yet nothing definite seems near about the matter, but there is much discussion going on over the two counties as a result of the circulation of the two petitions.
