The 200 remaining shares of fair stock will be sold this weekt provided those interested put forth a little per sonal effort. A “personal contact” drive will be staged and it is expected that the remaining $4,000 will be eas-[ ily raised. Every fair official, business; man, farmer, and citizen of Cleveland ; interested in the county's first big! fair, will this week make of everyone I they come in contact a prospective i purchaser, with the idea of scattering! as much as. possible the 200 shares yet j unsold. There are a number of people over! the county who have not purchased ! fair stock, but would do so if asked. It is impossible to make a canvass of the entire county and those who wish a share or more of stock should mail; their check to the fair secretary this week, before this allotted amount is ! raised. Dr. Dorton, secretary of the Fair association, announces that farm ers and others too busy to see him per sonally about fair stock may mail their checks to him or leave them with any bank or business house in town ' and that stock will be issued. One bank alone last week sold $860 worth I of fair stock and with all those inter ested in the fair, putting forth a little extra effort this week all the money needed for the fair should be raisd. Hazel Hunt Case is Continued in Gaston The case against Hazel Hunt, a medical tudent and son of Mr. J. F. Hunt, formerly of Casar, now living at Spindale, charging him with run ning down and killing a small child at Cherryville two weeks ago, was con tinued Saturday when the preliminary hearing was held. It was decided to refer the matter to the grand jury for investigation as to the responsibilitj for the accident which resulted in the death of a child which attempted to cross the street at Cherryville in front of a car driven by young Mr. Hunt. John Carpenter, solicitor from Gas tonia was present to prosecute Mr. Hunt while Clyde R. Hoey of Shelby had been retained by the defense. Hunt is out on $500 bond. and has taught successfully in Selma, Clinton, and Lumberton. For the last two years she has been high school principal in the city schools of Lum berton and she has had splendid suc cess as teacher. Mrs. W. J. Roberts is in'no sense of the term a new teacher for she not only has been high school principal of the Shelby high school but has taught for several years as a regular teacher. For sometime Mrs. Roberts has been substitute teacher in the high school and her work was so sat isfactory that she has been prevailed upon to accept full time work. Miss Margaret McKinnon graduat ed this year from North Carolina col lege for Women and comes to take the place of Miss Rebecca Cushing. Miss Cushing made such a high record as teacher of home ecoonmics that the state department of education pro moted her to the position of assistant supervisor of home economics teach ing in North Carolina. Miss Cushing is taking a special course in super vision in Columbia University this summer. Miss McKinnon is well quali fied to take up the work that Miss Cushing has carried on so successful ly. Mr. Roy “Casey” Morris graduated last June from the University of North Carolina. As is generally known, he holds an enviable recprd as an athlete and hig name is familiar wherever there are people interested in athletics. Mr. Morris comes to take up the work of Mr. Gurley, who has been promoted to the position of coach in Lenoir college. Further detail notes relative to text books, etc., will be published later. OPTIMISTIC on E Kiwanian* (Jet Bracin'? Farm Talk,' Religious Advice and “Pepping up" About Coming I nlr. I he Kiwanis club at th« meeting held last Thursday evening encoun tered a program of variety—one of optimism, religious and boosting the county. Rev. C. O. Smith, Philadelphia pastor vacationing here, furnished the religious features; William Lineber ger, the boosting in a county fair talk; and O. Max Gardner, the optimism in the form of a prediction of good crops this year as well as good prices. Oliver S. Anthony, program chair man for the “dull month” followed his initial plan of a surnrise speech meeting, which again met with the ap proval of the club. Mr. Lineberger in telling how he raised of fair stock in four days urged fellow mem bers to take a lit'le time off, put forth a little effort and heln the first fair : start off free of debt this fall by see ig that the remainder of the stock is subscribed. "It’s easy,” he declared, “after the bank devoted its advertis ing space to selling shares in the fair a number came in voluntarily and took many shares, remarking that they would have cjone so Ibng before had they the opportunity or the ask ing. If every man here mentions a share or several shares to the people that come in their place of business this week the remainder of the $5, 000 wanted can he sold this week. There are many people in various sec tions of the county and right here in Shelby who have not been asked to take a share and many of them want to, and will if asked.” Predicts .35,000 Bales. “A short time ago,” Mr. Gardner opened, “ there was a rather blue out look over Shelby and the county— prospects for the cotton crop were not encouraging, but now things have brighten up and if something un locked for does not yet befall the crops we may look for one of the best years in the county’s history, for with a good cotton price and a good crop the entire county will enjoy pros perity. From the present outlook I predict around 35,000 or 40,000 bales and personally would say the price will be around 25 or 30 cents. The peo ple of this county have never been as depressed as residents of oth er cotton counties and have no oc casion to do so now. The brighter out look is already bracing things up. as it should. Along with more prosperity, we must not overlook one thing— Shelby to continue a normal growth must have more industry, more pay rolls and other sources of employment. These are necessary to the develop ment of any town and Shelby must keep her stride for the next few years. Last year we added some indus* try and we must not let this year slip by without at least equaling the work of 1923.” Mr. Gardner addressed Mr. John R. Dover that the club might call on him to build another cotton mill, and the ‘Barkis is willin’,” reply of Mr. Dover seemed to express the sentiments of the club. Rev. C. O. Smith in his talk, which was limited by time made it plain to Kiwanis that a preacher can be a good fellow and still stay within his time limit, and moreover he possessed a manner of mentioning religious things that appeals to business men. “Our present-day religion here in America is a ‘Sunday suit religion’. We adjust our religious ideas and thoughts with the donning of the Sun day best, when religion, the real re ligion, should permeate every act of our lives.” Plans for a picnic were again' dis cussed by the club, but further than that it was decided to make it a “fam ily affair,” nothing definite was done, although it is likely the picnic will be held within the next two weeks, prob ably this week. Former Shelby People Knew of Kid McCoy Reecntly press dispatches carried the story of another sensational trag edy in Los Angeles which centered around “Kid” McCoy, famous prize fighter. The next day a dispatch from Gastonia stated that McCoy, who was married almost a dozen times, was married there in 1911 to a Paris wo man. The minister who performed the ceremony, Rev. George D. Herman, at one time lived in Shelby, and one of the witnesses, Mrs. Ches Abernethy who now livea in Vidalia, Ga., is the daughter-in-law of Mr. T. H. Aber nethy, of this place, and the sister-in law’ of Paul Abernethy of The Star. It is said that McCoy carried;* big roll at the time of his marriage in Gastonia and offered to pay a consid erable sum to keep the new’s of his marriage out of the papers but failed to do so. Molasses making time is about here and O. E. Ford Co., has the cane millsi evaporators and furnaces.

Petitions are out for the signatures of voters in Shelby and proposed en larged territory asking Senator Sam C. Lattimore and Representative J. R. Davis to provide for the extension of the corporate limits of the town of Shelby at the special session of the general assembly. The agitation for ex tension has been under way for sev eral years and sentiment seems to be strongly in favor of it, but no def-j inite steps were taken until last Thura day night when there was a called1 meeting of local business men held after the Kiwanis mee'ing at Cleve land Springs when it was decid</. to draw up and circulate petitions for, the signature of voters, petitioning the representatives from this county to| provide for the extension of the town limits a distance of three-quarters ot1 a mile so if favorable action i9 taken on the petition the diameter of Shelby will be a mile and a half. The petitioafe were mailed Monday afternoon to the representatives in Raleigh with 800 or more names, j Those who circulated the petitions say ! that more names could have been se- j cured if they had more time to work. Old Monazite t Plant Destroyed The old monazite house near the j Belmont Cotton mill in South Shelby; wa.s destroyed by fire of unknown ori gin about 5 o'clock Saturday morning. The fire threatened the “shanty" cars' occupied by Lem Conner and his Southern railway bridge crew, but the cars were moved away and saved. Th£ old monazite house was a frame build ing much dilapidated. It contained sep arator machinery, several electrical motors, desks, etc., the original cost of which was $10,000 or $12,000 and owned by the Carolina Monazite Co., a New Jersey concern which at one time was a domestic corporation with L. A. Gettys in charge, but the char ter was surrendered some years ago when the monazite industry in this section was abandoned.

Mrs. Ledford Is Oldest Woman Following the celebration Fri day August 8, of the 102nd birth anniversary of Mrs. Susan Grigg near Three County corners, it was stated that Mrs. Grigg was the oldest woman in the county, but since that time The Star has learned that “Aunt N'ellie" Led ford, who lives with her grand daughter, Mrs. Andrew Lee, near Lawndale, is some months older. Mrs. Ledford, the widow of Bob Ledford, an old-time Methodist circuit rider was 102 years of age on January 1, this year, which makes her seven months and eight days older than Mrs. Grigg. Our informant, W. Covington, better known through his 82 years ns “Bill,” is no youngster himself. Mrs. Ledford injured her hip in a fall some years ago and ia un able ot walk, but with this excep tion enjoys good health and has a remarkable memory. • •*****•* * S'ot Admitted To fell Floor, Hut Converse Briefly With Fhilbeck From Outside. Another unusual feature developed in Francis-Philbedk matter lust week, when it was learned that Francis and his wife visited at the county jail Saturday afternoon. Just what their mission was is not known, but officers verify the report that Mr. and Mrs Francis were at the jaii for a short time during the afternoon. No officer was present, it is said, and they were not admitted to the jail, it being the desire of Mrs. Francis, it was furthei reported, to see some of the female in mates. However, not being admitted it is said, that they conversed with Sloan Philbeck from the outside of the jail, Mrs. Francis, others at the jail de clared, told Philbeck that they would be back this week, when Deputy Sheriff Jerry Runyans could come along and let them upstairs. So far Philbeck has failed to se cure bond although there are a num ber of reports that bond will soon be raised. A bond has been prepared in the office of the clerk of court for 10 men to sign and one, Billy Lowery, has already signed on the condition that nine others sign. These nine, ac cording to reports, will be composed of men about Earl and business men of Shelby. With the exception of the visit of Mr. and Mrs. Francis to the jail where the man charged with eloping with Mrs. Francis is confined, nothing fur ther has developed. Domestic relations in the Francis home at Earl seem to be hack on a normal basis, people of the village say. Morrison Finds Ruby Mine in Rutherford Mr. E. G. Morrison, prominent local jeweler reports the discovery of n wonderful ruby mine in Green Hill township Rutherford county. He chanced upon the location of the perils when a negro sent him a quantity for examination. On Friday of last week he went to personally inspect the place they were found and there on the surface of th ground he picked up a quantity of red rubies in rough state. He thinks by some prospecting the real vein can be located and some valuable gems unearthed. Speaking of rubies Mr. Morrison says: “Very few people know what these gems of deep dlch red, or better known as the Pigeon blood variety, rank above diamonds in point of value. Ruby is next to diamond in point of hardness. Corundum is the family in which ruby belongs, the violet color being oriental amethyst, the blue variety being oriental sap phire and the red variety being ruby which is the most valuable. The crys tals found in Rutherford county are red and some in the rough may be seen at Morrison’s jewelry store.” BATHING BEAUTIES ON AT PRINCESS THURSDAY 22. “The Temple of Venus," the big Ot to production featuring Mary Phil hin and Phyllis Haver along with hundreds of other bathing beauties will be on at the Princess theatre on Thursday.
