Six thousand and more persons gathered in historic Kings Mountain Tuesday and paid eloquent tribute to the memory of a brave little band of American patriots, who on this spot 144 years ago struck one of the first decisive blows for the cause of American independence by signally defeating an army of British troops. Rivaling in size, perhaps, the crowd that' gathers there on Saturday, Octo ber 7, last year to hear Senator Roy al S. Copeland deliver the address, the number of persons attending Tues day attested the growing interest in the annual event there. An elaborate prograirff'carried' but without a hitch, bespoke the careful attention given by Kings Mountain citizens, who have for years sponsor ed the event. r*oiaoies npeas. Governor Cameron Morrison and Major A. L. Bulwinkle, of Gastonia, representative in the lower house ofi Congress from the Ninth district, were principal speakers of the occasion.

Major Bulwinkle pleased his audi ence with a discussion of the pros pects for having the battlefield made into a national park, declaring “Some day I hope to have the pleasure of as-' sisting in dedicating Kings Mountain military park.” Cheer Bulwinkle. Nothing is nearer the hearts of Kings Mountain people than having the shrine of American liberty made into a national park and Mai. Bulwin kle’s remarks on the subject were greeted with vociferous applause. The speaking was not the only I feature of the celebration. The program started promptly at the designated hour, moving from one of the graded school buildings j through the principal streets to the j Central high school building, where, the exercises were held. The parade was distinguished by about 20 attractive floats, various or ganizations being represented, includ ing the Ku Klux klan, the Woman’s' club, the Masonic order. Junior order and a number of business houses. Adding interest to the parade was the presence of Troop E.. 100th cav alry, North Carolina national guard, from Lincolnton. The soldiers added a touch of military color to the event. During the parade Aviator Crowell! gave an exhibition of airplane flying over the city. McLeod Not There. Governor McLeod, of South Caro lina, was unable to accept an invi tation to be present for the e%rent. The program opened at the Cen tral high school building with B. E.

L’pon in vitation by Mr. Carpenter, Dr. I. F. McElroy, pastor of the First Preshy-. terian church, of Kings Mountain, pronounced the invocation. Mr. Carpenter spoke a few words | of welcome after which Mayor P. D. Herndon officially welcomed the visi tors to Kings Mountain. Tells of Park Plans. major Bulwinkle preceded Gover nor Morrison on the program, speak ing about five minutes. Major Bulwinkle devoted a major portion of his address to the prob ability of making the Kings Moun tain battleground into a national park. Definite action looking to the suc cess of this move can be undertaken ‘.ifst as soon as the Kings Mountain battle association can give to the government clear title to the prop erty, he said, Major Bulwinkle de clared he hoped to soon have the pleasure of assisting in dedicating the famous battleground as a National Park. Introduced by O. B. Carpenter, Governor Morrison opened his address hy declaring that ‘‘I too, am engaged in a battle for independence.” The Governor spoke for several minutes, commenting in general terms upon the heroes of the battle of Kings Mountain. “This battle,” he said, ‘was one of the most important during the long struggle and had a great effect upon the outcome of the Revolution.” He nlso discussed military phases of the battle. Tells of Progress. The governor deviated into a dis cussion of the situation in this country and in North Carolina in particular Tuesday. “Thi» country is enjoying more peace and greater prosperity than any other nation under the sun,” he declared. He made a strong appeal to his hearers to stand firmly by present day American institutions. “We want no Rusian theories, nor crazy dreams of the Orient,” he declared. Mr. Morrison discussed briefly the progress North Carolina has made in the development of schools and roads. “North Carolina people pay less to the state government than any other s ate in the South and less than any other agricultural state in the Union,” he pointed out. The governor closed his address with an appeal for love of country and warned Iris hearers not to follow aft er false gods, who he said, are trying to wreck America and her institutions. I 'urijm he . morning's, .prograpi . it. was announced that Rev. J. I). Bailey, of Cowpens, S. C. has just, completed a history of the Battle of Kings Moun tain.

History of Battle. by high school elevens, the event Exhibit Booths At County Fair Are Ready For Entries —— \ ariotis Booths Uave Been Arranged With Ladies Work, Church and School Exhibits, Etc. * _ « ! (By ?*Irs. Wallace.) The booths for the ladies work at j the Cleveland County fair are nearing completion. The entire building has been plan ned with the continuity that makes it one harmonious whole. In what is termed the Agricultural building, farm products, single, col lective and by communities together with the county agent, and co-oper ative booths occupy one side and a portion of the middle. On the other side and partly through the center come the ladies work, the demonstra tion agents booth, ladies club, church and school and school exhibits. In this building are housed all the exhibits that represent the home life of Cleveland county people, except health which spilled over to the ex hibits which represent the business side of life in the Manufacture’s hall. Home would seem really more appropriate christening for this build ing than agricultural. The household arts, or fancy work booth has been planned to take care of the greatest number of pieces in the most attractive manner possible. The arts and crafts booth, being a twin sister to this has been placed by it, and is large enough to accommo date an exhibit of large proportion as well a the antinues to be displayed. As the “eats” are always the most| appealing things, these booths are the! first things to greet the eye upon en trance. When the fruit finds its place in the attractive home prepared for it, it will shine forth a challenge to ev- j er.v other booth. knowing the Cleveland county cooks to say what is expected in pantry and dairy supplies would be superfluous. The flowers at the center of the build ing will form a beautiful connecting line between farm and home booths. Entries begin Saturday. October 11th and close at (1 p. m. Monday Oc tober 13 th.

Baby Show Comes On Wednesday Morning Of course every Clevtdand county’s mother’s baby is by far the “most beautiful” and easily "superior to per fect”, but what calls for such things as a baby show is the fact that some are more so than others. The baby show at Cleveland county’s first big fair will be held on Wednesday, Oc tober 15, according to an announce ment given out by Miss Irma Bowman who is in charge of the show. Miss Bowman requests that all babies to be registered in the show he brought in at 11 o’clock Wednesday morning. The show will be in progress four hours, from 11 until 3 in the after noon. Those sponsoring the baby show say that It will be the best exhibit the county of Cleveland will have at the fair, and no doubt they are right. Three prizes, ranging from $1 to S3, will be given for babies under one year, and one prize of $3 for the best baby over two years. Hudson’s Eleven To Play Kings Mountain Football followers in Cleveland county, as well as a number all over the state, will watch with interest a gridiron contest today, Friday, at Lawndale when Coach Johnny Hud son’s Piedmont high eleven meets Kings Mountain. One reason is that it will be the first football game ever played by the students of the Lawn dale institution and the first ever wit nessed in Lawndale. Another is that it will be the former State college star’s debut as an athletic director. A large number of Shelby people are expected to go up for the game as the local eleven is idle for the re mainder of the week. Although none of the Piedmont boys have ever played football before Coach Hudson h^s in the past few weeks moulded a likely looking high school eleven that should give Kings Mountain a hard battle. ID REPUBLICANS SPEAK III SMEISY Col. Mcekins-Charges Democratic Of ficers W ith Incompetence, At tacking State Departments. Col. I. M. Meekins, Republican can dida'e for governor and Judge Hen i drix Republican candidate for con ’ ifrean in this district fired both bar rels at the iK-rnocratte party when they .'poke in the court house VVednes | day afternoon to an audience that fill ed the auditorium about two-thirds full, although many of the hearers were Democt rt k who went to bear l the discussion there was a sprinkling | °f ladies, while the Shelby band furn ! ished music, playing “Taint Gona Rain More" ns a summons that the hour had arrived. - -dndnre li hdrix’Vai- introduced by i the Republican county chairman Mr.! II. Clay Cox in eloquent terms for a layman and the audience cheered as t he judge arose. He referred to his I I service in t he general assembly of i l!h!l arid the fact that he was one of I four men to draft the state highway' | bill of which he was proud and an-; | nounced that his amendment making I ! the appropriation 100 million dollars lacked only two votes passing the | committee. Most of his speech was (directed to the prosperity of the state and the claim that the Republican pro tective tariff system is responsible, : tor high wages. The Judge announc ed that he has a “sneaking notion’’ j that he will be elected and if so, he xvil.| uphold President Coolidge to the last ditch in his principles. He intro duced Colonel Meekins ns the “great est orator in the Southland,” and re lated the debate between him and Thomas Dixon in Raleigh in which he claims Meekins got the better of the argument over the “movie censorship” bill. Col. Meekins is a striking-looking ! gentleman who praised Yates Webb j with whom he was in college at Wake j j Forest, Preacher Woodson whom he i knew in Eastern Carolina and Max Gardner ‘who might be governor four | years hence if he can put Aus Watts I to sleep." Colonel Meekins announced j that he came not for abuse but to , place a bill of indictment against wh it he terms the “political machine” jin North Carolina. He said the 230,000 men and tvomen who voted the Repub i lican ticket in North Carolina at the 1 last election are becomig to be recog ! nized as people of character, and hon- I esty of purpose. He undertook to j j prove his case against the “political! machine” by reading editorials from j I Democratic papers charging the cor-1 ! poration commission with incompe- j tence. Extenuating these remarks he ! said the corporation commission ap points -bank examiners, not because ; they are competent, but because they arc Democrats and that as a result of j | careless supervision over the state hanks, 15 “busted” last year, causing i the depositors to he defrauded out of millions of dollars. Next Colonel Meekins took a shot at I Stacey \\ ade, insurance commission jer, charging him with permitting stock to lie sold in worthless corpora tions which have “busted,” causing the I loss of millions to innocent investors. “The farmers of Vance county alone j lost SI00,000 in fertilizer factories for which the stock salesmen carried li cense and approval from Stacey \\ ade to sell stock.” He declared that Stacey Wade is a machine Democrat, manufactured by the machine and I kept in by the machine which ratifies everything he does. He charged Sena tor Mendenhall of Guilford with “sneaking” through a bill at the last legislature, allowing th," insurance | commissioner to collect as a fee one fifth of one per cent on all stock sold in North Carolina and that in nine ( months this amounted to §2,400 which | he received in addition to his salary ! of $4,500 and that shortly thereafter ■ Wade paid Mendenhall $1,100 insur- j ! ance premiums on state property which he had insured with Menden hall. Colonel Meekins is a rapid-fire speaker and received close attention for a full hoUr. WEDDING RING TO COUPLE THAT MARRIES AT FAIR T. W.
