Supreme Court Is
Defended By Hoey
Shelby Lawyer Speaks to Gastonia
Club on Saerodnoss of
the Constitution.
Gastonia, Sept. H.—Speaking bo
fore a local service club here today,
f l.vde R. Hoey, of Shelby, made a
stroilg speech on the American consti
tution month over the country.
1’resenting the constitution as the
organic law of the United States
guaranteeing to every individual his
personal and property rights, the
speaker declared that one of the most
distressing signs in our national life
today is the fight being made on tb ■
federal supreme court, the only tml
wark which stands between the people
and their own guarantee of liberty,
namely the constitution. The move
ment to secure an amendment to the
constitution which would place acts
of Congress above review by the su
preme court he designated as an at
tempt to deliver a death blow to the
rights of the people.
There is, declared Mr. Hoey a feel
>ng on the part of a large part of our
Population that the constitution is a
r°s‘raint instead of a guarantee to us
ef the very liberty that is ours. This
feeling is 0ne that should be eradicat
ed.
There are now pending in congress,
said the speaker 161 proposed amend
ments to the constitution, only one of
^’hich he thinks should be enacted.
y'at is one which places the amend
constitution in hands of
the people of the United States in
stead of in tlie hands of the legisla
tures of the states.

Johnny Hudson Is
Coach at Piedmont
Piedmont high school, which this
year makes an official entry into the
athletic world, will have a football
eleven for the first time, according to
Coach Johnny Hudson, Shelby boy
and former State college star and
professional baseball player. Mr.
Hudson was employed by the Lawn
dale institution following the popular
school’s decision to devote more time
and effort to athletic training. Pied
mont will play Shelby during the sea
son.
The school is expected to have a
good baseball team as a number of
flashy diamond artists have developed
in this county, but every candidate for
the gridiron is hearing his first about
football and the coach has a hard
ta^k cut out for him in producing a
wining outfit his first year. The new
coach, however, in. the course of time
should produce some good football
material owing to his experience as
a star back on the State eleven, and
hvo seasons with the Washing'on pro
fessionals, and should make good head
way in baseball after several seasons
on the diamond, part of which was
with Columbus, Ohio, in the American
Asociation and one year with Shelby
in the Blue Ridge.
America Wins Again.
Tile* American was drawing tfic
long bow. “On one occasion,’ he said,
"I got 99 lions."
The Englishman, determined not to
be outdone began to tell a story of a
man who swam from Liverpool to
W.v York.
“Did you see him yourself;” inquir
the American.
“Why, yes, of course. I was coming
across the water and our vessel pass
d him a mile outside New York har
bor.”
“Well,” was the retort, “I’m glad
you saw him, stranger, because you’re
i witness that I did it. I was that
■ wimmer."
A Scotchman's First Thought.
The old tradition concerning the
Scotch canniness when there's a pen
ny in s'ght receives a new boost by
the following story: A sportsman who
had been shooting on a high-land
moor became lost in a sudden mist.
He tramped about hopefully until the
I ght failed, and at last, when he was
beginning to become really anxious,
he heard the sound of footsteps near
at hand. The sportsman shouted:
Hallo! Hallo, there! I’m lost.”
For answer came a cautious voice
out of the gloom: “Ay . . . but is
there any reward for finding ye?”
NOTICE, APPLICATION FOR
PARDON.
This is to notify all persons that an
application for pardon of Matin Glov
er, convicted before the recorder last
June an sentenced for a period of ten
months for retailing, will be made
before Governor Morrison upon the
due expiration of this notice.

I Is fast approaching and cotton will soon

THE HARVESTING OF COTTON
Means a great deal to the people of our
county for it is the “money crop” of Cleve
land county. Many will have money
“when they sell their cotton” who have
not had any for many months.
AND IT SHOULD BE A GREAT DEBT
PAYING TIME.
Make your merchant, fertilizer dealer,
landloard or banker, or whoever has been
helping you feel good by first “paying
>»
up.
Here are some timely suggestions for
the thrifty for this season:—
s
Pick your cotton as fast as it opens.
Don’t leave it in the field at the mercy
of the weather.
Market it as fast as possible until the
debts are all paid.
Save all the feed stuff possible.
Sow rape and rye for the chickens.
Make your plans *0 sow oats and
vetch.
PAY YOUR DEBTS if you have any.
as fast as you sell your cotton.
SAVE ALL YOU CAN.
BANK ALL YOUR MONEY. Don’t
carry it around in your pocket or keep
it at home.
1 • • • „
Get close up with your farm work, so
the whole family can take in the
CLEVELAND COUNTY AGRI
CULTURAL FAIR, OCTOBER, 14,
TO 18.
Since cotton will open up early, don’t
wait for note and account notices, but pay
them as fast as you can and “clear the
way” for new business.
WITH GREAT HOPES AND ASPIRA
TIONS FOR THE PEOPLE OF OUR
GOOD COUNTY.
