Cleveland county people have be come seriously interested in making their farm homes and farms more at tractive and comfortable through el ectric lights and power. At first the idea was one of talk, but now the dreams seem materializing, or will at least in a few years. Friday night the people of the Pat terson Springs and Earl communities will meet at Patterson Springs with < ounty Agent Lawrence and others to discuss the electric development of their section. Monday night, Septem ber H, a similar meeting will be held at Belwood and Wednesday night, Sep tember 10, at Casar. The Patterson Springs and Earl folks plan to co operate in erecting a line from a proposed sub-station at the Post Road gin to extend south and serve both communities with electricity for lights necessary farm power, so far as is practicable. Belwood and Casar have similar a-pira’.ions and are discussing joining with Fallston for a line from Lawndale, where more power is gen erated than is used by the mill and that community. Perhaps other plans will come up at the meetings, but something definite at least is under way. Farm Board Interested. The county board of agriculture, which is already “making its mark” over the county, is deeply interested in tbo electric development of the ru ral communities of the county and a discussion of the matter featured the regular meeting held Monday. Far sighted farmers can easily vision the fime when farm life will be revolu tionized by electricity and that Clev-j eland is stepping out in the lead is a! tribute to the intelligence of the farm folk of the county. Outsde interests are taking notice of the “era of light” here and many newspapers are rnmmen'ing on the progressiveness of the county. In an editorial entitled "Cleveland Leads the Wav” the Greensboro News concludes as follows: “We suppose that Cleveland may be the nioneer county in the enter prise of combining effort to finance the purchase of electricity from the great producers,. There are apparent ■ economies in this me'hod that will make an immense difference. Unless unforseen difficulties arise, Cleveland will presently be a county in which the farm that is not equipped with elec tricity will be the exception. There should be economies on the productive side, as well as on the domestic side, that Will eventually pay the costs of installation of necessary equipment while paving for the current as re ceived.” Mr. And Mrs. Royster Return From Europe Visited Five European Countries While on Tour and Made ■» Long Airplane Trip. Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Royster, who were married in Greenwood, S. C., on July 12, returned to Shelby Tuesday morning following a honeymoon spent in Europe. They landed in New York from the Minnetonka at noon Monday. During their stay abroad they visited Scotland. Holland, England, France and Belgium. Mr. Royster who saw overseas serv j ice during the World war, says that ; the French and English cities look practically the same, the only change noted being the absence of American soldiers on the streets and elsewhere. California, he stated, is the talked of state in Europe because of motion pic tures. One of the first things a na tive of Europe will ask an American is about California. They show only best pictures and are well attended. Liquor and wines may be bought in a grocery store in Brussels, Belgium, but boys and girls under 16 years are not allowed to see the ‘“movies” ex cept on special occasions. Belgium is apparently recuperating faster from the aftermath of the war than some parts of France, but the effects can still be seen everywhere, although some cities entirely wiped out have been rebuilt, according to Mr. Roys ter. While in England Mr. and Mrs. Royster attended famous Wemberly Exhibition, which is in the nature of our expositions. The young couple made a trip from Rotterdam, Holland, to Paris by pas senger airplane. The trip was made in a little over two hours and would have taken seven or eight by train. The big plane was fitted comfortably and the air voyage was considerably smoother than by rail or ship they say. Mr. and Mrs. Royster sailed to Southampton on the Majestic.

After Finding Rudaaill In Room With Coleman’s Wife. Ernest Rudasill, colored, died Wed nesday evening about 7 o’clock in the Shelby Public hosp'tn! from throe hul let wounds rtsceived Tuesday evening when ho was shot by Lee Coleman, also colored, in Coleman's home on the alley to the rear of Hoev Motor com pany. Coleman, who is confined in the coun'y jail, plends the “unwritten law. Rudasill was a plasterer on a construction joh here in Shelhv and had been off th" “chain gang” only a short time, having: served a sentence for assaulting: his wife. According: to the two versions of ‘he shooting, that of Coleman and his wife, the affair took place in. a room in Cnl*man’s house where Coleman found his wife and Rudasill together. Coleman, who was for a Ion? time employed in the Shelby laundry, has been working recently in the laundry at Forest City. Rudasill, it is said, was a roomer in the Coleman home here, haring been given a room by Coleman. Returning Tuesday "voning about 8:30 from Forest City Coleman alleges that he found the front door locked and through the window saw his wife and Rudasill in a comoromis ing situation. After forcing his way into the room, according to Coleman and his wife, Coleman walked to a bureau drawer where he secured a .32 calibre Spanish gun and with the s‘ate ment “I’re been hearing about this” began firing at Rudasill, each of the three shot* taking effect. Officers were notified and arrived on the scene before the scuffle was over, finding Rudasill and Coleman locked together, scuffling over the gun, both bloody from the freely bleeding wounds of Rudasill. The two were parted, Ruda. sill rushed to the hospital and Cole man, who admitted the shooting with the “home defense” explanation, being placed in jail the version of the shooting given by Coleman'* wife who was before marriage Ida Davis, was the same an that of h«r husband with the exception of the alleged motive. She says there were no immoral relations and that her husband had no right to shoot Coleman. According to her story she was merely talking with Rudasill, a roomer, at the time of her husband’s arrival. Upon examination at the hospital it was found that Rudasill was shot in three places, once in the right hip, once in the right thigh, and in the left side of the abdomen, the latter puncturing the intestines at three places. The negro took his suffering stoically, but little hope was held out fro his recovery, although he did not die until the following evening. Coleman will be given a hearing, it is said Monday, before Recorder B. T. Falls. 0. Max Gardner has been employed to represent Coleman. “Side Show of Life” At Princess Theatre Friday, the Princess Theatre management will present the unus ual, and entertaining story of the circus and circus people, those folks who follow the glamor and ring thrill for life once they start. ‘‘The Side Show of Life” is the title of the screen play as taken from the popular novel “The Mountebank”.

M. Mull had made a budget ( i of expenditures and recommended ( 1 a tax rate of $1.30 on the $100 ( j property valuation, an increase of j I 20 cents over last year. Whether j \ this rate is accepted, raised or [ j lowered remains for the board and [ J mayor to say. The city board is ( ! asking for more money which if ( j granted 'will require a tax rate! | higher than that recommended by J J Attorney Mull. The increase in the [ Stax rate is due mainly to bonds ( which are coming due and must be ( j paid.

Adv Stranger Pull* Off Good Bogus Check Scheme In Shelby Apparent Representative of Fake Kentucky Coal Company Fleeces Local Concern and Hotel. Recently a salesman, a fake sales man, struck Shelby, which is not un usual as many salesmen “make” Shelby, fako ones too, but this one left a souvenir or Hie— in fact two, one to the amount of $35.(50 and the oth er $36.30, His scheme was a smooth one. one of the smoothest one noted in this day of superfluous checks and j minus hank accounts. The shrewd , ness of the plan is even proving in teresting to tlie secret service men, who may, and may not, make the sales man regret his visit to the “City of Springs." The fellow who represented himself as \\. C. Wells, a salesman for the Round Mountain Fuel company, of Harlan, Kentucky, was about 15 years of age, tipped the scales at around 160, and stood about five feet six. After arriving in Shelby he jotted his name on the register at Cleveland Spring amid the tourists and vaca tionists and proceeded to visit the bosi ness section of Shelby. In the course of his calls he made the acquaintance of Mr. Clarence Cabaniss at the Ideal Ice and Fuel company, and as the banks were closed a*ked Mr. Cabaniss to cash an expense check on his com pany, the Round Mountain Fuel com pany. The check was made out with a protectograph with the firm name on the check and was apparently “good as gold". It was cashed as was another tendered Mr. Vanstory at the hotel. However, all that glitters is not gold and upon an inquiry made of the Harlan National bank it was learned that Mr. Wells was not known there and that there was no such firm as the Round Mountain Fuel company. The bank, although, had an idea that the same “Mr. Wells" at one time visited Harlan, where he picked up money in a similar manner claiming to repre sent an Alabama firm. Unce the crust was broken officers realized that the checks were especial ly printed for the work and their method of reasoning is that Wells has a partner who mails out the checks knowing what towrn or city Wells will strike and at what date. The checks are made out, similar to all travelling salesmen’s checks, from an itemized expense account and would hardly arouse suspicion. Some think that Wells may represent a new firm ev. ery time he strikes a new town bo that he will be harder to trail. He remained here only one day, but might remain several should he ever return. Officials in surrounding towns are on the look-out for him as well as representatives of the Fed eral government.
