CLEVELAND COUNTY’S BIG INAUGURAL FAIR IS ON THIS WEEK
FORMER CITIZEN

C. A. Williams, Former Resident Has
Much Praise for County. C. O,
Keuster Also Speaks.
C. A. Williams, member of the firm
of Williams and Shelton Co., Char
lotte, was the honor-guest at the Ki
wanis club Thursray night, it being
a privilege for the club to have Mr.
Williams’ because he Iive3”'"Tn “Cleve
land for 11 years and made a suc
cess in Charlotte as a dry goods and
notion wholesaler. He live dat the old
Aaron Beam place in No. 5 township,
coming there from Mecklenburg in
1877 and he recalled selling chickens
and eggs at Cleveland Springs which
was then operated by MadlFoston and
Mrs. Brevard. He recalled the old pa
per mill at Buffalo and the only cot
ton mill in the county, located at Dou
ble Shoals.
“The stores in Shelby are a credit
to any city of 50 to 100 thousand,”
said Mr. Williams and “a good news
paper is the best asset any town has,
therefore Shelby ought to have one
of the best newspapers in the state. A
paper can give you publicity that can
not be bought.” Mr. Williams strong
ly urged a chamber of commerce for
Shelby and declared that the Kings
Mountain battleground should be made
a national park which he thinks can
be done if the business men wo pay
enough Federal tax to place North
Carolina at the top of the list will only
go to Washington and demand that
this shrine of liberty and freedom be
preserved.
Debt to Community.
Clarence Keuster, official booster
and live-wire public megaphone of
Charlotte and the Carolinas was a vis
itor with Mr. Williams and in a short
but ‘peppy” talk, told the Kiwanis
that agriculture is the basis industry
in this country and that it should be
fostered, first last and always. He
says it takes work and ambition to go
forward and that Ed Campbell wasn’t
satisfied 25 years ago to run a little
country, store, but came to Shelby with
a vision of bigger things and made
them come to pass. He dropped in the
new Fanning store, not knowing whose
it was and declared it to be a credit
to the county, whose enterprisig own
ers will make a great success by the
use of printers ink.
Keuster has great visions of a big
ger and better community and declar
ed that “we haven’t scratched the sur
face yet.” Men who sit idly by and
don’t help in a community building
are dead and don’t know it. If they
have accumulated anything, it is their
duty to turn something back to the
community which enabled them to
make what they have.
Keuster travelled Cleveland 30
years ago when he “wiped his face on
a salt sack, washed in a tin pan with
octagon soap” so he felt that he knew
what he was talking about when he
said “Cleveland is coming like a house
afire.”
Campaign for Fair.
Lee B. Weathers told of the at
tractions at the fair and asked for
support, whereupon a number volun
teered to solicit for more funds. Geo.
Blanton and Lee B. Weathers got $800
in a few hours Saturday on the Falls
ton road, while Odus Mull and Paul
Webb secured over $500 in stock sub
scriptions in Shelby.
“Wine of Youth” on at
New Princess Theatre
On Tuesday the Princess manage
ment will show Thomas Meighan in
“Woman proof.’’ The story is a corker
and the companion to “Back Home and
Broke". Mark Anthony, Samson and
even Napoleon were not woman proof,
was Tom? “What Shall I Do?" the
query of a mother and her child de
serted and alone to battle life the
title of the film to be shown Wednes
day. It’s a picture every one should
see and profit by.
Parents should not deceive their
children that’s the big kick in King
idor’s “Wine of Youth” to be shown
at the Princess Thursday. The story
of a reckless age of love and jazz tells
of a young woman who tried to pick
her husband by an experimental mat
ing before marriage. It is based on the
famous play “Mary the Third” and
one of the best to be exhibited recent
ly.
While attending the fair be sure
and visit 0. E. Ford Co.’s place near
the Seaboard depot, headquarters for
farm machinery. Ad
One reason why you’ll see so many
happy faces at the fair is Heavy’s
f afe—they feed them there, their
faces. Ad
Even good logic is not always the
truth.
Son of Dan Patch
Entered in Races
For County Fair
Bvst Known Horses in Ouintry Will
I lash Around Track During
Cleveland County Fair.
History will he made on the halt
mile track at the Cleveland countv
Fair during the next five days, but
what interests old timers more than
anything else is that a son of old
Dan Patch, the race track favorite of
dim bygone years, is among the fav
orites m the ^ive day races, Dan
1 atch probably had more followers on
the tuif in North and South Carolina
than ^jiy horse in racing history and
there will be hundreds of the old fel
lows out every day of the five days,
Tuesday through Saturday, to see
“Clay Patch’’, entered by Will Roddy,
of Morristown, Tenn.
Races at 2 O’clock.
All of the races each day will bo
held at 2 o’clock in the afternoon and
indications are that the early comers
alone will get seats in the mammoth
new grandstand. The hundreds who
come late will have to pack the rail

est ever held in this state. Visitors for
the turf events will come from Char

Forest City, Asheville, Hickory,
Statesville, Salisbury and many other
North Carolina towns in addition to

tucky, Maryland and Virginia. j
The events will include pacing, trot-,
ting and running. For a week stable
owers have been “limbering up" their
steeds on the half mile circle and the
highway between Kings Mountain and
Shelby. Spectators for the prelimln.
aries have been many for a race horse
and sulky is something new for this
section—or was.
Although “Clay Patch” will be a
big favorite because of his ancestor
there are a number of horses entered
that are well known on racing cards
all over the country, among them be
ing the famous “Billy S.”

lege back, lost their first game to
Kings Mountain highs 6 to 0. It was
the first gridiron contest ever played

they had no past football experience
they put up a plucky fight and look
to be a snappy outfit with more
experience.

Burrus Fears Trains
Nos. 41 and 43 Will
Be Taken off S. A. L.
Towns Affected Claim Poor Service
And Dirty Coaches Responsible
For Loss of Passengers.
Hon. ('has. A. Burrus who returned
Saturday from Raleigh where he went
as a delegate from the Kiwanis club
and town of Shelby to protest before
the corporation commission, the re
moval of Seaboard trains No. -11 and
No. 411 says he fears the commission
might- grant th# Seaboard-Tbe privi
lege, of -taking the trains off. The rail
road claimed that it "Is running the
two trains at an annual loss of $11,
705, hut in answer to this claim, peti
tions and citizens from Shelby, Forest
City, Rutherfordton, Cheryville and
Lincplnton said that if the freight re
ceipts are included, this division
would show a handsome profit and
that the commission should consider
the earnings as a whole rather than
as a separate train. The protests also
set up the fact that the counties serv
ed by the Seaboard help build the
road with bond issues and tnat It
owes an obligation to the citizens who
paid the bonds. The towns also claim
ed that the passenger service on the
line hud suffered because of the neg
lct of the railroad in providing proper
service. They claimed that the rail
road was using ancient coaches, dis
carded from the main lines and keep
ing them in filthy condition, making
Ttassenger transportation by jitney
lines more preferable. It was inti
mated that the railroads could train
back a goodly portion of the passen
ger traffic by improving its service.
As a probable compromise, the Sea
board officials offered to put on PulL
man service on the other trains, but
the towns seem to want the train to
stay on that goes to Charlotte in the
morning and back in the afternoon.
The commission will deliberate and
render a decision o the matter later.
Largest Chain Store Organization in
World Gets 15 Year Lease on
Lineberger-Suttle Building.
F. \Y. Woolworth & Co., the larg
est chain store organization in the
world has leased the Lineberger-Sut
tle building which is being erected at
the corner of Marion and LaFayette
streets the lease running for a period
of 15 years. Messrs. Win, and J. D,
Lineberger and Mrs. Julius Suttle
who own the real estate and are el
ecting five two-story store rooms on
LaFayette and Marion streets expect
to have the building ready for occu
pancy by February of next year.
The Woolworth stores sell nothing
over ten cents and the stock will com
prise the usual large variety of arti
cles. The fact that Woolworth is com
ing to Shelby shows their faith in
Shelby and its trading area. While
Woolworth officials were considering
the lease, they made a comprehensive
survey of the trading area, made a
diagram of the business sction, show
ing the location of every store, the
kind and quality of merchandise car
ried and the manner in which the
store windows were dressed. The man
ufacturing, farming and other inter
ests were carefully considered, after
which they sought a lease which pend
ed for two weeks, until the plan of the
building could be so arranged to con
form to the standard fixtures which go
in all W'oolworth stores.
Tlie lease includes the main street
store room 45x100 feet and basement
under the entire building.
POSTAL RECEIPTS HERE
SHOW A GOOD INCREASE
Postal receipts at the Shelby office
show an increase of $700 over the
September quarter last year, accord
ing to Postmaster J. H. Quinn. The
increase of the September quarter
this year over the June quarter is
about $800 which is good evidence of
the growth of the town. Last year the
total postal receipts of the Shelby of
fice amounted to aproximately $24,
000, the increase year after year being
from 2 to 15 per cent.

MORRISON SPEAKS
ON RIS PORT BILL
Says Cost of Ports and Terminals
Would he Good investment. In.
traduced by McBrayer.
Governor Morrison made an effec*
live argument Thursday evening in
the court house here in favor of the
j adoption of his port and terminal bill
which will be submitted to the voters
in the Nwvemhcr elect hot, declaring
that if it is put into effect the citizens
of North Carolina w ill save enough in
freight in a single year to repay it*
self for the investment of seven and
one-half million dollars for ports and
terminals. He had an nudi
I once of about .‘100 and spoke for more
| than an hour w ith his old-time vigor,
| never mentioning politics except to
j say he had dedicated himself to the
I task of helping North Carolina in the
I matter of freight rates by better wa- j
j ter facilities which will bring lower
| freight rates and put the state on a
| competitive basis with other port
I states, and that lie has no further pol
i Iti.cal ambition whatever, his only am
i hition being to see this measure be
| come a reality. He denied having any
; idea of running for Senator Overman’s
1 place in Congress. He expressed the
| opinion that the hardest thing that
I could happen to him would be to see
| the port and terminal bill prove a dis
j appointment if it is adopted and put
into practice.
We Lose 10 Million Yearly.
‘Why North Carolina pays 55 mil
lions annually in freight and we pay
10 to 15 millions more in North Car
| olina that Virginia does for transport.
! ing the same volume of commerce and
i more than Texas. Maryland or any
j other state that has developed and util
I izes the methods of transportation
God has given us. Developing water
ways is nothing new or revolutionary,
and it is not projected in North Car
olina on my judgment alone, but a
commission appointed by the legisla
ture," said Governor Morrison. At this
point he named each member of the
commission, praised them as success
ful business men who spent 14 months
in studying the matter and later made
the unanimous recommendation.
He declared that the money called
for by this measure is not spent, but
it is invested in the best business
proposition ever proposed and argued
that the seven and one-half millions
would be saved in one year in freight
rates alone.
Raise Incomes and Franchises
Where will the money come from?
Answering this question the governor
said the cost is a mere bagatelle com
pared with the good that will result.
He declared that anyone who says
tax will be put on land in North Car
olina'is a demagogue and nothing else,
for the constitution won’t allow' but
five cents on land for state purposes
and no man will dare advocate this
much. He thinks the ports and ter
minals would be self-supporting but
if they are not, the income tax can
be raised one-fourth of one per cent
and get the revenue. He thought a tax
of one cent on each package of chaw
ing gum would almost produce the
revenue. Some might be gotten by rais
ing the franchise tax on railroads in
j North Carolina.
Governor Morrison called the op
ponents of his measure “the cham
. monopoly and hurled the lie to any
pions of railroad transportation
man that says North Carolina ever
lost money in the operation of its
state owned roads and added if the
state had made money out of operat
ing its roads ‘sure the folks W'on’t
gag an get sick over a few little old
ships.”
McBrayer Inlroduces Him
Attorney C. B. McBrayer introduc
ed Governor Morrison in most appro
| priate and eloquent terms. Accomp
anying the Governor was his wife who
before their recent marriage was Mrs.
Watts of Durham, reputed to be worth
several million dollars. The Governor
and Mrs. Watts have purchased a
residence in Charlotte where he will
practice law at the expiration of his
term of office in January. This was
her first trip to Shelby. After the
speaking they returned to Charlotte
by motor.

beter entertainment could have been
secured.

The big exhibit buildings will be a
dashing scene of color. The exhibits
will include everything from potatoes
to an entire farm. The handsome
booths add a dash of spice and color
to the entire scene. Those staging
booths have vied with each other in
portraying their object or merchandise
and the judges will have a hard time
in selecting the winner.
“Sure You’re Coming.”
“Sure You’re Coming”—the motto
of the fair— is being passed to and
from over the county and Shelby, the
highway between Shelby and the fair
grounds are expected to be packed
