Jersey Dairy Cattle
Show and Sale Here
(Extension Service.)
The North Carolina State Jersey
Breeders association will hold a sale
of registered Jersey cattle at the Fair
grounds near Shelby Thursday Oc
tober 30. Around 60 head of regis
tered Jersey cattle will be offered
from the best Jersey breeders in the
state and will be sold at your own
prioe as the cattle will be auctioned
off.
Only the best cattle in the state is
put in these sales and the farmers of
Cleveland county are fortunate in get
ting this sale in Cleveland county this
year.
The sale was held in Hickory last
year and attended by a large number
of Cleveland county farmers who
brought back eight head of fine Jer
seys to the county. If you plan to get
a registered Jersey heifer or cow this
will be a good opportuity.
A banquet will be held at Cleve
land Springs on the night of October
29th for the breeders of registered
Jersey cattle in the state and county.
Be Careful in The
Selection of Seed
(Extension Service.)
Owing to the wet weather on cot
ton in September which caused some
;>f the cotton to sprout and lots of
lamagedand rotten bolls, great care
should be taken now to get your plant
ing seed f©o'another year from cot
ton that is free from disease and
<ound open bolls.
Poor seed will mean a poor stand
next spring. R. Y. Winters state ag
ronomist, says that 20 per cent of the
rotton that was open during the rainy
weather will not come up. In some sec
dons of the county the cotton anthra
:nose is showing up and the fungus
which appeared on the cotton last
lune is causing lots of faulty bolls and
the boll and rot off at th» base of the
soil. j
Select your planting seed for an
)ther year this week from sound cdl
;on and sack in two bushel bags.
“Citizenship classes” are conducted

Ordinance If Passed Makes a Com
plaint Necessary to Limit Owner,
ship of Canines.
This is a story of special interest to
kennel and dog owners. It is a story of
dogs, ordinances and possibilities.
At a recent meeting of the Shelby
city fathers it was ordained that with*
| in the city limits of the town of Shel
by one family should have only one
!dog, or a restriction to some such ef
fect. Hardly had the ordinance been
I “aired” from confine to confine when
a howl went up—and the canines did
j not do the howling. The objections
! came from owners of kennels of more
! than one dog, who were adverse to
I being restricted on ownership.
This week T. \V. Hamrick i n.eni
jber of the board (ft aldermen submit
mitted to the city clerk an amendment
to the dog law, which will in all like
i lihood Be taken up and passed upon
by the city fathers at their next regu
lar meeting. How it will be passed
upon is a matter of speculation. The
amendment as it reads has the ear
marks of something more pleasing to
dog owners in that it makes a com
plaint from neighbors necessary be
fore anyone may be limited to the
] number of dogs owned and kept with
in the city. In other words three or
more residents to the section in
in which the said dogs are kept must
sign a written petition stating that
the dogs are a nuisance and disturbers
of the peace and tranquility in the
neighborhood in which they are lo
cated.
The Amendment Offered.
The amendment or correction of
fered by Mr. Hamrick is as follows:
“An amendment or correction to the
dog law as passed at meeting of Oc
tober 7th 1924.
“Any person or persons, owning one
or more dogs, or who maintains a dog
kennel, located on any of the resi
dential streets of the town of Shelby
shall remove same upon 10 days no
tice by the chief of police, provided.
First, That a complaint, or petition,
signed by three or more residents of
said street, stating that the said ?og
or dogs are a nuisance and disturbers
of the peace and tranquility of the
street, or neighborhood in which they
are located.”
Shelby Plays Monroe
Friday Afternoon
Old (Iridiron Rivals Meet in Annual
Tussle. Outcome is Doubtful
From Early Showing.
The Shelby highs will*play the Mon
roe eleven here Friday afternoon in
what is becoming Shelby’s gridiron
classic. The two elevens have been ri
vals for years and the clash will not
be between strangers. Both outfits
year after year rate their strength
from the outcome of this game and it
is never necessary to say that there
will be plenty of action when the two
squads meet.
What Beemer Harrill has wearing
the Monroe jerseys this year is as j
yet unknown. Several of the Monroe
stars are in college as are several of
Shelby’s scintillations such as Hen
nessa, Bynum, Beam, Arrowood and
both Morris and Harrill are relying
to a certain extent on new men. Since
the Charlotte defeat Coach ‘"Casey”
Morris is said to have instituted sev
eral new plays, which from the ob
servance of the team in action against
Charlotte will place the eleven to a bet
ter advantage. Several shifts may be
made in the line-up heretofore used
this season before the game is over
it is hinted from those who have been
visiting the athletic field.
Practically all of Shelby will turn
out for this game for against each
other Shelby and Monroe fight with a
spirit that marks college frays. The
game starts promptly at 3:30 o’clock.
A probable line-up of the Shelby
eleven is: Cline Lee and Dednion, ends;
F. Beam and Caldwell, tackles; Sar
ratt, and Auten, guards; V. Grigg,
center; Furches quarter; Ellerbee, Con
nor and Wray backs. Substitutions
will be made from Raymond Beam
and Hopper, ends; Harrill, Elliott and
Sparks, line; Magness, Pendleton and
Self, backs.

Henderson School
Has A “Walk-Out”
Henderson. Oct. 22.—Henderson
high school students who “walked out”
Monday in protest against alleged un
fair disciplinary measures of Princi
pal W. S. Nicholson, wili be allowed to
re-enter school only upon written re
quest and a signed promise to con
form to all the rules and regulations
of the schools.
These conditions were decided upon
last night at a six-hour session of the
school hoard.
In its resolution prescribing condi
tions for the return of the “strikers”
the board condemned the action of the ;
pupils as “unwarranted, indefensible,!
without just cause and calculated to 1
do irreparable damage to the discip-!
line and work of the high school” \
The board provided that each of j
the “striking” students will be given j
eight demerits.
Much testimony was heard by the'
board last night, members of the fa- ■
cutty and the “strikers” being quizzed, ;
It was indicated that another hear-*
ing will be held in a few days to go
further into the matter.
Fourth Annual Lincoln
County Fair Opened
Lincolnton, Oct. 22.—The fourth
annual Lincoln county fair opened
Tuesday. Through the untiring efforts
of the officers of the fair association
and the county-wide interest which
was manifested, the show surpasses
any former years and represents one
of the finest agricultural exhibits ev
er seen in this section. One entire
building is given over to the showing
of field crops, in which Lincoln coun
ty has always excelled, and home and:
pantry supplies. In another building;
are housed the booths for the four!
community fairs, any one of which I
is a worth-while fair within itself.!
extra fine cattle are shown, among
these being the famous Black Angus
herd ownd by Graham Morrison and
the Hereford cattle owned by Mrs. T.
J. Itamseur.
rirteen thousand
Killed By Motors
A total of 14,412 deaths from ac
cidents during 1923 caused by auto
mobiles and other motor vehicles, ex
cluding motorcycles, is shown in sta
tistics assembled by the Census Bu
reau covering the death registration
of the United States, which contains
87.fi per cent of the total population.
This total represents a death rate
of 14.9 per 100,000 population, com
pared with 12.5 in 1922; 11.5 in 1921
and 10.4 in 1920.
California topped the list with a
rate of 32.6 death per 100,000 popu
lation, and Wyoming was second with
a rate of 24.1. Among 68 cities for
which statistics were gathered Cam
den, N. J., led with a rate of 35.4 and
Scranton, Pa., was second with 29.2.
Famous Speed Demons Will Thrill
Great Crowds Near Charlotte.
75,000 People Expected.
Shelby and other Cleveland county
people have poured out in droves
to see the Charlotte speedway at
P neville. And it seemed that they
poured out equally as well from ev
ery where else. But the crowds which
thronged the roads on Sunday were
i not a drop in the bucket to those
which will cover them next Satur
i day when the big races take place,
j It is confidently expected that there
! will be 75,000 people to witness the
i races and if the weather is good the
{number is likely to be more than
(that figure. ■ ..
1 Voplo^who' life" looking for thrills
will have thrills a plenty during this
two hours that fifteen or twenty
cars will he roaring round this track
at a .speed of more than a hundred
miles an hour. This is the first event
I of the kind that has ever been pulled
off in the south and the preparation
for it has been immense. The track
and grand stand have cost three hun
dred thousand dollars, and more than
four million feet of lumber is used in
its construction. The track is a mile
and a quarter long and it will require
two hundred rounds of the cars to
complete the race of 250 miles. The
race begins at twp> o’clock sharp and
will end around four o’clock.‘the two
grand stands are around 000 filet long
The track at the end curves has a
slant of 40 degrees, and a ear can
not stick to it except at a high rate
of speed. One racer was killed the oth
er day when he went out to try the
track. On Sunday thousands of peo
ple ga?.ed at the spot where he went
over and was killed.
Parking space has been provided
outside the track for 12,000 cars and
space inside the ring for 8,000, The
track was located at Pineville be
cause here was found the only piece
of land near Charlotte which was
suitable. The racers who will appear
are famous all over the world. They
have lately engaged in races in Penn
sylvania and California. They run
for the prizes which amount to $25,
uuu.
All roads leading: to Pineville will
be policed Saturday and traffic held
under control. One way driving alone
will be allowed from Charlotte and
shuttle trains will be run by the
Southern to and from the track. The
grandstands will seat 22,000 people,
with 20,000 more in the boxes and the
infield will hold 50,000. People will
be there from ull over the country,
and this race will be written up in
every newspaper in the United States
More than 300 carpenters, labor
ers and mechanics worked continuous
ly for 40 days to complete the plant.
There are four tunnels beneath the
track, two combination vehicular and
pedestrian tunnels, and two tunnels
for pedestrians only.
A steel band encircles the top rail, [
measures ever installed on a speed-!
one of the most complete safety
way.
The first fence from the track rib
bon and skirting the apron, is made
of especially manufactured heavy, res
lient wire, and the second fence, built
to hold back the spectators, and plac- j
ed fifty feet from the track ribbon, is j
also constructed of heavy wire. It I
would be virtually impossible for a j
runaway car to penetrate both fenc j
es and injure spectators. Also, equal-!
ly impossible for a car out of control j
to plunge through the top rail.
A huge scoreboard will herald the ;
progress of the race by laps, also an
nouncing the average time of the
leader.

Sloan Philbeck to be Tried For Aban
donment and Elopement—Seven
Divorce Cases on Docket.
The fall term of the Cleveland
county court which convenes here
Monday with Judge W. F. Harding
of Charlotte presiding has two and a
half days set aside for trial of crim
inal cases. The two outstanding crim
inal cases which are likely to consume
more time than any others are one in
which Lee Coleman is charged with
killing Ernest Rudasill in Shelby
some months ago and one against
Sloan Philbeck, white, charged with
abduction and elopement with Mrs.
Avery-Frances of Earl. The docket
pretty #e!T runs the gamut of crime,
many of the cases being for manu
facturing liquor, giving worthless
checks and the like.
On the civil docket there are seven
divorce cases. The will case of T. C.
Humphries will likely consume a good
part of the time, while the Corbett
case against Harry Hudson regarding
the lease on the Drive in Filling Sta
tion property will prove interesting.
At a recent meeting of the lawyers,
the following calendar was arranged
for the civil docket:
Wednesday, October 29.

Thieves Left Chassis
of Auto At Least
Van B. Sheppard, of Gastonia, had
a Chevrolet touring car stolen some
three weeks back and two local officers
Deputies Buren Dedmon and Charlie
Sheppard found what was left of it
last week near the old Buffalo bridge
on the old Kings Mountain road. Mr.
Sheppard was notified that his car
was found, but to get it back to Gas
tonia he will need some wheels.
When the officers found it the re
semblance was more like a canoe
than an automobile. Every wheely even
to the steering wheel, had been tak
en off, as had every accessory, spark
plug and connection about the motor,
and the front axle had been taken out.
With these exceptions Deputy Ded
mon says the car was in fair shape,
The dismantled car was hid in the
woods near the old bridge.
