A part of the communication writ
ten by W. I). Babington, Jr., company
bugler, says:
“The company is making a very
fine record in camp thi- year. On
the first three days on the range we
havp made the best record and are
leading the battalion by 15 points.
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. North
selling most of her furniture and
turning her lease over to Mrs. Alice
Roland who took active charge on
Wednesday. Mrs. Roland is a new
comer to Shelby, although she is a
daughter of Mrs. M. H. Hickson and
a sister of Mrs. Russel G. Laugh
ridge on N. Morgan street. For eight
years she ran a hotel at Cleveland,
Ohio, and is a woman of unusual ex
ecutive ability and experience. For
the past year she has been in charge
of the dining room at Chowan •college,
Murfreesboro, N. C. Since school et
out, she has been visiting a sister
at Norfolk, Va. from which place she
comes to Shelby. Mrs. Boland has
purchased practically all of the house
hold furniture which Mrs. North had
in Courtview. Mrs. North is reserv
ing sufficient furniture for her in
dividual use. For the present Mrs.
North is occupying an apartment at
1 ourtview. She will visit relatives
for awhile before she locates.
Mrs. North has been operating
( ourtview for four years with splen
did success. During these years she
has had only two w'eeks vacation, so
she will take a much needed rest.
WOMEN AIR DOMESTIC
TROUBLES ON STREET
Two women, Blanche Taylor and
Minnie Norwood, of South’ Shelby,
were in recorder’s court Wednesday
88 a result of a word battle held on
'he street in South Shelby recently.
At the conclusion of the evidence Miss
•aylor was taxed with the costs and
Mrs. Norwood discharged. It seems
as if the dispute arose over domestic
troubles, Blanche Taylor starting the
dispute with Pearl Bridgeman, who
has parted with her husband.

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.

AFTER WEI PEIS!
Filfhtinj; <Er;is^ (irowth In < »(t«n Of
Several Weeks. Cotton Blooms
Are I,ale
Tho farmers of Cl,viand court >
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.

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.
