Announcement to Patrons and Pupils. A record enrollment in the public schools of Shelby is expected on the Opening day, Monday, September 15, according to Superintendent I. C. Grif fin, who is back from Chapel Hill, where he headed a department of the University summer school. “Last year we made an increase ot 251 pupils over the preceding year, which brought the total enrollment to 1,586, and with the same normal in crease this year the enrollment should be around 1,860. However, from the large number of new homes being er ected in Shelby and the number of tiew families moving into the town it serms as if the increase will be above normal and exceed that of last year,” Mr, Griffin said.; A school w'ith a steadily increasing enrollment is one of the best signs of a growing town and Shelby will herald wPh interest new pupils although it means some time in the. future larger and better facilities. Every room in t'fe Shelby schools this year will be occupied and it will be necessary to use one basement room to accommodate the increasing enrollment, it is said. This is an idea of a growing town, more and mo.**? children to educate. Two new buildings were completed only two years ago yet evrrv room and one in the basement is filled. There will be very little, if any change in the school system this yeai and there are very few faculty changes. Among the new things to be started in the schools will be a high school orchestra headed by W. S. Buch anan. one of the teachers, it is said. In discussing the arrival Mondav of '‘Casey" Morris, the new- coach. Sup erintendent Griffin decianed that he ’hought Morris would prove a Success ’ here as will his assistant, Prof. T. S.

However a force of of hands will be at work on parts of the grounds until the vot.v dav pre ceding the fair, so as to have every thi'/ in the best of condition for the entertainment of the thousands of visitors expected. At present interest at the fair tract centers around the construction of the large grandstand, which is being er ected on a knoll near the entrance and overlooking the circling race trwCV and all parts of the grounds. When com pleted the stands will comfortably sea* 2,000 people and from each seat will be given an unobstructed view of every inch of the race track and those occupying a seat in the stands will be able to see the flying horses from the starter's gun to the judged’ tower. Comfort is the first object in erecting the stands and as the seat, are ar. ranged the feet ad knees of the per son behind will not interfere with the the pleasure of the person to the front, each seat being in dividual with a back. The foreman in charge of the stand construction is confident that the stands will be ready to tourn over to fair officials by next week. A Handsome Arch. The handsome concrete and stucco arch, being erected as a gift to the fair association by Z. B. Weather* 4 sons well known contractors and build ers, is also nearing completion. The W eathers who recently began the manufacture of concrete blocks and roof tile, are using their ^products on the big entrance arch and from pres ent appearances it will be the best ap pearing section of the grounds and a good booster for 'the Weathers pro due's. I Around in all sections of the grounds different forces are at work. Out bn the edge of the highway car penters are completing the big fence with sign painters only short distance behind applying the artistic paint brush. Windows are being put in the big exhibi’ion building and Summey and Spangler are adding a few finish ing touches to the race track. Hoey is Not Afraid of Bob La Follette Charlotte News. If the LaFoIlette-Wheeler ticket makes any marked inroads into the strength of the two old political par ties this year, it will be in the Re publican and not the Democratic party is the opinion of Clyde R. Hoey, of Shelby, former congressman of the ninth district, and a keen political stu dent, who believes the clear-cut pro nouncements on labor and other topics by John W. Davis, Democratic nominee for the Presidency, is the most re freshing political statement in a de cade. "If labor is honest in its opinions it will find as much definite achieve ment in its behalf in the past record of the Democrtaic party as the LaFol lette-Wheeler ticket can offer,” Mr. Hoey said. “I believe firmly that the LaFol lette-Wheeler ticket will take far more votes from the Republicans because the Republican is the reactionary party and the Democratic during its control of national affairs has always been the one party that represents all classes and is based on the idea that the workingman and the majority body of citizens rather than favored groups should be the object of legis lation intended for the national good. "As to North Carolina, I do not be lieve that there is going to be a very large following for the LaFollette Wheeler ticket. There will, of course, be a considerable vote for that ticket, no doubt, in certain sections but not enough to affect the political situation seriously and even in doubtful states I believe that ticket will hardly win a majority.” 200 Conversions At Palm Tree Meeting Thorp were 200 conversions and re clamations at Palm Tree revival meet ing which closed Sunday after a two weeks run with Rev. John Green, evan gelistic minister doing the preaching, according to Mr. B. C. Hicks who was in Shelby yesterday. Mr. Hicks says it was the most far reaching meeting he ever attended. People of all de nominations attended for 20 miles around and the spirit of co-operation was most marked. Mr. Green did all of the preaching himself except a ser mon or two by Rev. E. N. Crowder of Waxhaw and the oldest people of that section declare they never saw any thing like this meeting in interest, spiritual fervor and co-operation.

Sinn DENOUNCES THE MODE! SINGE Says It In Suggestive. Degrading, Det rimental, Vulgar, Sensual, Wrong »nd Sinful Dancing ot t no modern sort was | vigorously and unhesi atingly de ounccd a* wrong and degrading for i the young people in a special sermon i Sunday ni«rht by Rev. A. L. Stanford, pastor of the Central Methodist church who preached to a congregation that filled *h° church to its capacity, ex tra chairs having to he pln-cd in the aisles in order to seat those who at tended. Another subject for his sermon wa< ‘ Christ crucified in the homes of l h’s friends,” He prefaced his remarks by declaring that he has a deep and profound sympathy and lovp for the '•nun's people and rejoices with them 1 in all of their innocent pleasures, ft j i* the burning desire of old and young . in this pleasure loving age for pleas ure and happiness* God has implanted ; this desire in our hearts and the key note of the Gosppl is not a sigh but a song, not death but a glorious, im ■ mortal life. In part he said “we can ; never reach the masses and bring the world to the feet of Jesus by going | about with long faces. Pleasure here on earth is a birthright." “In dealing with those who go to ; the extreme in pleasure, there are two me'hods in the church today. The human method is to open the doors of the church and kick them out and let them exceed speed limit to degreda tion. The other way is the scrip tual way and that is to appeal /to : them in an effort to turn them from I sin, win them back and save them. The devil has never made such bid for j young lives as he is making today. | In speaking o|, the evils of the modern dance he warned his hearers that 'he dance is suggestive, degrad ing, detrimental. vulgar, sensual, wrong and sinful in the sight of God. In giving his reasons for being op posed to the modern dance he cited many which might be summed up as follows: "I think it ignores and violates 1he laws of health, ou argue that it’s fine j physical exercisp. It was never in tended to conserve health. The mod ern danee begins at bedtime and lasts well into the morning. It also flourish es under the cover of darkness. The dance hall is usually in a poorly ven tilated room and the dancers are ov er-heated and improperly clad. Going from the dance hall'into the night air undermines ones health. God says our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit yet the dance wrecks this temp le. “The dance largely contributes to the evils of the present day. The cultivation of the foot has taken the place of the cultivation of intellect and hand. .It doesn’t require much in tellect to be graceful on the ball room floor. Boys who fail to pass their ex aminations at school are usually among the best dancers. “The modern dance always hinders and retards our spiritual growth. Living in this pleasure loving age and running after the frivolities of life is not calculated to uplift our spirits. God is making a picture of our spirit ual growth so what answer would you have to make , if these pictures show no growth ? “The modern dance always exer cises a great influence against the spirit of God. It stullifies the con science, weakens the will power and the dancer is led captive by the devil. “The modern dance strikes a death dealing blow to our moral and religi ous inclination. In a certain western city, 165 out of 200 fallen women date their downfall to their entrance^ to the ball room floor. After they had followed the pleasure loving dance, these 165 declared that hope, charac ter, virture,—everything worth while was gone. “Over a half million women in the! United States date the beginning of their downfall to the modern dance. One Catholic priest says 9 out of 10 women who "enter the confessional bear the same testimony. "Fathers and mothers, what will your answer be when God asks where are your children who have entered the ball room upon your encourag ment ? What about the teachers who go to Cleveland Springs and dance un til after midnight Saturday night, then try to lead the children in the ways of righteousness at Sunday school. “Some one tells you the church is narrow. I challenge the statement. The greatest men have been believers in God and members of the church of Jesus Christ. Do you believe that the men and women whose lives have counted for most in this world have been old fogies? The Baptists, Pres byterians and Episcopalians say it isj wrong and are trying to discourage their young people from following the modern dance, and I thank God thatj the Methodist church is against the dance which is debauching the young life of America today. “Another reason why the modern First Bale of I Cotton is Sold Cleveland county’s first hale of ' “new cotton" was sold in Shelby Friday morning to the Shelby Cot ton mills' by Mr. J. B. Hamrick, who lives two miles south of town on the J. I,. Putnam land near Zoar church. The bale, which weighed 478 pounds, sold for .'!() cents per pound, a "premium price” being | paid for the first bale. Twenty-nine years ago The Clev- ^ eland S ar recorded that the first bale of cotton was brought in by Robt. C. Hopper, of Karl, and sold to A. ('. Miller for 8.65 per 1 pound. The bale was brought in on ' Tuesday, September 10, or five days later than the first hale this year. As will he noticed there was a difference in price of 21.35 cents per pound, which would amount to over $100 on a 478-pound bale. The Kiwanis program Thursday ev ening at Cleveland Springs hotel was! featured hy a brief description of an European tour by Federal Judge E.! Yates Webb, who wi h his daughter Miss Elizabeth, recently returned from a tour of seven foreign countries j Judge Webb was limited in time, but in the short interval allotted him he gave the Kiwanis a clear, although hurried view of the high spots appeal ing to him. Tho sturdiness and solidness of England and tl\e English people is the first thing an American notices aft er a visit there, according to the Shel by jurist. The people are steady and in a- manner easy-goir.g and minus practically all humorous qualities. The people, England in general were com pared to their railroads, which have concrete road beds, concrete ties and braced rails. Among the spots touched upon were the famous Italian pilgram ages, the Forum, Appian Way and the Coliseum. Judge Webb concurred i in the philosophy that the Italian peo | pie ‘are the dirtiest and most artistic in the world.” In speaking of his visit to several of the more widely known battlefields of the World War the Federal jurist made a plea for the League of Nations or International Court of Justice, ‘‘or anything to end war.” ‘‘Civilization must put an end to war or war will put an end to civi lization”, he declared. Life in France and Belgium where no one hurrys was next taken up. In France no one lives in 1he country. The farmers all live in cities and towns, going out each day for their farm work. In ’concluding Judge Webb was thankful that he was born an Ameri can and he repeated in part a speech made by him on the boat returning in which he spoke complimentary to the South and America to a group of j foreigners and college students. Small Boy Injured When Struck by Car j Donald McSwain, three-year-old | son of Mr. and Mrs. Lahdon McSwain, was painfully injured Saturday even ing just before suridAwrl when struck by a car driven by Mr. Shafter Ham rick, young farmer of the Beaver Dam section west of Shelby, the mis-1 hap occurring on West Warren j street near the home of the small, boy. From all reports the aecident i seems to have been unavoidable, and it was reported Monday from the hos- j pital that the child was getting along [ fine, there being no bones broken-or j serious internal injuries found upon examination. Mr. Hamrick was going along at a moderate rate of speed, according to himself and others, and did not know that he struck the child until he heard the jingle on the street of the brok en glass from one of his headlights. He immediately stopped after seeing I the child sprawled upon the street, and after locating its parents took the child to the hospital. It being near sunset Mr. Hamrick says that the glare from the sun must have pre vented his seeing the child until after after it was struck. FoHowingythe accident Mr. Hamrick at his own request, was placed under a $300 bond by Judge Falls.

Rural farm lighting seems to he the next development uppermost in the minds of the farmers of Cleveland county who are instituting one of the most forward steps in any rural sec 'ion in l nited States, according to the leading elec’rival trade journals. If present plans, sponsored by the Cleveland Board of agriculture, are carried out, there will he four rural lighting systems, one in each of the four sections of the county, north, east, south and west of Shelby. The Bethlehem community club will meet Friday night September 12th to discuss putting in a direct electric lighting system for the community, according to J. S. McSwain of that section. Mr. McSwain writes, “we are hoping to get lights in our section at a nearly date and w-e also have a dis cussion for the coming meeting on j things pertaining to the community' and county fairs which will he of in terest to anyone who wishes to take part in the fairs. Attorney Charlie Burrus, county prosecuting attorney will be present at the Bethlehem meeting and give some entertaining music." Mr. John Borders of No. 3 township says there was an interesting meeting at Patterson Springs Friday night of last week at which the lighting sys tem for that community wr„ discussed and there will be n similar meeting at Earl on Tuesday night of this week. After these meetings are held rep resentative men from these communi ties are coming to Shelby to discuss with the Board of Aldermen the mat ter of securing power from the town. Similar plan* for lighting systems are under way to serve Boiling Springs, Lattimore and Mooresboro on the west and one to serve Casar, Bel wood and Fallston from the Lawndale i plant in the north of the county. LEE Cm GETS BOND Fi KILLING In a preliminary hearing Monday morning before Recorder B. T. Falls,' Lee C'leman, colored laundry w-orker, was allowed bond of $1,000 until the October term of Superior court on the charge of killing Ernest Rudasill, also colored. Coleman offered the "un written law” pie*, while the state pro secution asked for a murder charge. I Rtjrfasill wdio difd last Wednesday evening in the Shelby hospital, was shot Tuesday evening by Coleman, in the bedroom of Coleman’s wife in Coleman's home. Witnesses for the state included Chief Hamrick and Policeman Hester who were called to the scene of the killing and through the witnesses the state attempted to1 show that there was no immediate cause to bring on the killing. After the state asked that Coleman be held on a first degree murder charge O. Max Gardner, representing Coleman, had the defendant placed on the stand. Coleman, who works for a Forest City laundry testified that he came home unexpectedly and that looking through a window into the bedroom, the win dow shade not being all the way down, he saw his wife and Rudasill in a odtiipromising situation on the bed. Immediately, he said, he entered the! house from the front anti after kalking a few words with his wife started shooting Rudasill who was advancing1 on him with a chair. When the of ficers arrived the two negroes were in the yard scuffling over the gun, ac cording to the testimony. Solicitor Burrus was aided in the prosecution by Clyde R. Hoey. “Hollywood” Coming To Princess Theatre James Cruze’s new production, “Hollywood”, a marvelous picture will be on at the Princess theatre on Tuesday.
