Modern Job Department. VOL. XXXII, No. 84 THE CLEVELAND STAR, SHELBY, N. C. FRIDAY, OCT. 24, 1924. $2.00 A YEAR IN ADVANCE Old Master Comes Back in Greatest Baseball Classic of All Time For Washington Win. Washington—The miracle of base ball, the dream of forty years, came true Friday afternoon when Washing ton won the baseball championship of the world from the New York Giants in the most thrilling, dramatic climax that any diamond series ever has s£en. Out of the depths of two crushing defeats, Walter Johnson, one of the greatest pitchers the game has known and idolized, came back to the heights and reached his goal, the end of the 18-year trail, by leading the Senators to victory by a score of 4 to .I in 12 innings of spectacular, pulse-gripping j baseball. And when Earl McNeely, young outfielder from the Pacific coast, drove in “Muddy” Ruel with the win ning run, after the mighty bat of “Bucky” Harris had kept the Sena tors in their greatest fight, the rook ie also drove a vast crowd of more than 30,000 that included President and Mrs. Coolidge into an outburst of victory-inspired frenzy unprecedented in the history of the national game. The crack of McNeely’s bat was match that touched off a conflagra tion of enthusiasm. A whirlwind of excited joy swept the big crowd as it flooded upon the field, then rushed wildly for the dugout of the winning team and gave unrestrained vent to spirits which, first through a victori ous American league campaign and then through oneof the most memor able championship battles of all time, had been whipped to fever pitch. The President of the United States and his wife, watching the third game, clapped and waved their hands with the enthusiasm of the ardent fans. Men and women, many of them prom inently know throughout the ooutry, joined with the rabid throng of fan dom in that tumultuous outburst. Fashionably dressed women hugged one another in joy, cheer leaders sprang up as if by magic, while hats were thrown into the air with aban don. For more than an hour after the game, the croWd swirled about the field and the clubhouse, where the Senators were given a continual ova non ana nearly moDDea. Uncertain to Last Moment. Never has baseball's premier crown been won under circumstances so re Ik markable as those Friday afternoon in the seventh and deciding game of a series that has swayed back and forth with brilliancy, uncertain to the last thrilling moment. Not since the fa mous series of 1912 have American and National league rivals fought with such tenacity and courage for the ti lle and, oddly enough, it was the Giants who went down to defeat this time as they did twelve years before the Boston Red Sox. It was a shattering setback for John McGraw, gray-haired veteran pilot of the Giants, turned back on the thresh old of the greatest goal of his career —a fourth world’s crown which would put him beyond all rivals—but it also was a marvelous victory for ‘Bucky” Harris, black-haired, dynamic young leader of the Senators. Harris, 27 years old and the young est manager that ever led a major lea gue team to the top, was a dominant, flashing figure in his team’s triumph and gained, through the brilliance of his tactics and individual play, a place in baseball that few laders ever had held. “Old Barney” Wins Friday afternoon Johnson came back. He was the Johnson of his prime, when the situation was the most dangerous, and the “smoke ball’ that had failed him twice before lift ed the veteran to his greatest glory and his team to triumph. ABSENTEE BALLOTS AND CERTIFICATES READY Absentee certificates to be signed by absent voters for the general elec tion and ballots to be voted are now ready for distribution and may be se cured by any person who expects to be absent from his or her voting pre cinct on election day, November 4th, Bynum E. Weathers, chairman of Cleveland County Board of elections announced yesterday. These certificates and ballots may be secured from Bynum E. Weathers at the Register of Deeds office in the court house or will be mailed to those making application, stating that they expect to be absent on election day. Saturday next, October 25th, the registration books will be closed and those who have not yet registered should avail themselves of this privi lege and be ready to cast their ballots fur their favorites in the approaching election. Women don't play ball because the Palyers are too far apart to talk. The head of the transgressor is hard, {Cleveland Drug Co. Installs New Type of Fountain For years, scientists have been tell, ing us that we are on the threshold of the electrical age. The use of elec tricity for cooking, heating, and lo comotion has been steadily growing, and is no longer a novelty. Each day witnesses a new’ triumph of electric ity over other mechanical forces. Now comes the electrically refrig erated soda fountain, the latest type of which has recently been installed by the Cleveland Drug company of this city. D is known as the Meehan icold Fountain and is manufactured by the Liquid Carbonic company of Chicago. Instead of ice and salt to keep the ice cream hat^, a .small re-1 frigerating machine is driven by an electric motor. The refrigerating machine consists of a compressor, which compresses sul phur dioxide. This is then expanded forming a gas which is pumped through the coils in the soda fountain. The gas has a temperature of 10 de grees below zero, and as it circulates through the fountain coils, it absorbs the heat, and the ice cream is kept in a uniformly perfect condition. min me gas nas xagen up 118 measure of heat it is returned to the compressor, cooled, recompressed, and again circulated through the fountain coils. There is thus no loss of gast as it is used over and over again. The principle is the same as that used by manufacturers of artificial ice but it is only recently that small refrigerating units have been avail able for use with soda fountains. The new mechanicold system has many advantages over the old salt and ice method. It does away with the mess atid labor of packing with salt and ice, eliminates the periodic interrup tion of business while the fountain is being packed, and insures an absolute ly uniform temperature in the ice cream compartments at all times. The ice cream is always kept firm and smooth and does not deteriorate in quality. It looks better, tastes bet ter and is better. It is predicted by the Cleveland Drug company and by the Liquid Car bonic company, that within a compar atively short time practically all soda fountains will be of the mechanicold type, as it has many advantages over the old style salt and ice fountain from the standpoints of economy and service. The Cleveland Drug company or ganization is intensely proud of the mechanicold, as it enables them to give their fountain customers much more satisfactory service. The public have a standing invita tion to come in and have the details of the new fountain demonstrated to them. The frigid air system was installed by J. G. Dudley Plumbing company. CONTRACT VIOLATOR MUST SERVE TERM FOR CONTEMPT Raleigh, Oct.—Selling tobacco on the auction floors of Wilson in the face of an injunction requiring its de livery to the Tobacco Growers Co-op erative association will cost E. S. Lamb, prominent farmer of Johnston county, 20 days in jail and $50 fine, according to the decision of superior court Judge M. V. Barnhill, at Golds boro. According to the sentence of Judge Barnhill Lamb will also be required to pay his own board and lodging while serving his sentence for con tempt of court, which begins on De cember 1, in order that he may har vest his crop before going to jail. Lamb, who raised 24 acres of to bacco, according to the testimony, was enjoined from delivering his 1923 crop outside of the tobacco association, of which he had signed the marketing contract, but he ignored the injunc tion in spite of advice that he would be jailed for contempt of court. This is the second case this fall in which tobacco farmers have gone to jail for having willfully sold tobacco outside of their association after be ing enjoined by the court. WHEN ADVERTISING STOPS BUSINESS GOES — A subscriber to a paper once edited by Mark Twain wrote him stating he had found a spider in his paper and wanted to know if it meant good or bad luck. ^ Mark replied: “Old Subscriber: Finding a spider in your paper was neither good nor bad luck for you. The spider was mere ly looking over our paper to see which merchant is not advertising, so that he can go to that store, spin his weD across the door, and live a life of un disturbed peace afterward.” The World's Largest Bible. The world's largest Bible, every word of which was written by hand, has just been completed by he Maine Bible society. The volume* which weighs eighty-eight and one-hialf pounds, was produced o attract wider attention to the Scriptures. It is the result of the combined efforts of 1,607 persons during the past year. Hospitality and Progress of County Highly Spoken of by Fair Week Visitors. The Cleveland County Fair was complete. The people, who make up the county, as well as what they pro duce, were on exhibit and they were ribbon winners if some of our visitors during fair week may be believed— and they may. Once and anon a visi tor after partaking of Cleveland coun ty hospitality and the spirit that keeps the county on the go returns to his native heath and in some form of publicity makes note of the real make UP of the big farming county. In fact, visitors and newcomers let it be known at times that the reputation of the county, long since established, has them on the lookout for an unusual people as well as an unusually pro gressive county. They’ve heard, some of them say, that the handclasp for a stranger is just as warm and the pat on the back just as affectionate as for the native; that there is no latch string hanging on the outside, but an open door. And from some of the re marks dropped by distant visitors during fair week and the compliments flowing in it does seem as if a friend ly spirit imbedded in Cleveland peo ple has a lot to do with what Cleve land is. Paul Webb known commercially as the “Rexall druggist” and informally as “a good fellow, especially to strangers” is in receipt of a couple of letters that speak well for the county. They are from Dr. Baxter Haynes, prominent Spartanburg physician, and P. V. Moore, secretary of the big Spartanburg fair. Dr. Haynes and Mr. Moor# attended the second day of Cleveland’s fair in company with E. O. Frierson, Spartanburg Fair treasurer. The following extracts from their let ters follow: Dr. Haynes—“I want to thank you deeply for the good times you gave us and the extreme courtesy shown to myself and two friends. As I told them on the way back that kind of treatment Is characteristic of you and Shelby people. Mr. Moore then re marked that I would want to be sent to Shelby when I died. We were all very pfeacantly surprised at the suc cess of your fair.” Mr. Mbore—“Messrs. Frierson, Hay nes and niyself beg to thank you most sincerely for the very pleasant day spent at your fair and for tne many evidences of good fellowshiip displayed “We trust that it will be our good for tune at some future time to recipro cate, W'e have nothing but praise to offer for the wonderful show that Shelby staged. It is indeed a wonder ful performance when you consider that it is the initial event. I predict for you a great fair within a very few years.” The sentiment expressed in the two letters has been heard in many forms during and since the fair. Such im pressions left on our visitors will do just as much, and more, to make of the fair a greater success each year as will fine exhibits, races and build ings. Spartanburg Fair Will Open Tuesday Spartanburg:, S. C., Oci 23.—Next Tuesday October 28th will mark the beginning of Spartanburg county 17th annual fair. It will last for four days, closing Friday October 31, It is believ ed that this yeapJs fair will be the best that Spartanburg has ever stag ed. It has been advertised over a wid er area than ever before. Banners have been distributed in Greenville, Laurens, Rutherfordton, Gaffney and other towns within a fifty mile radius of Spartanburg and indi cations are that thousands of out-of town visitors will attend. A new industrial building 40 feet wide and 100 feet long has been com pleted by the fair association and will be ready for occupancy during t^he fair. This building has been divided into 22 sections each eight feet wide and 13 feet deep. An aisle, 14 feet wide, will enable visitors to view the exhibits conveniently. Unusuall/ good midway attractions have been secured for the coming fair. The T. A. Wolfe shows among_the best known in the country will provide the attractions for fair visitors, and in addition the fair association, has ar ranged for numerous free attractions. Anti-Shingle Ordinance. Raleigh, Oct. 21.—With a protest from only two citizens, the city com missioners today-adopted an anti sbingje ordinance which will go into effect February 1, 1925, more than three months being given before en forcing the ordinance to protect builders who have arranged for new shingle covered houses in the near future. A 12-year old limit for the final abolition of the combustible roof is provided. Enforcement of the law will be the duty of the city building inspector. __ Twenty-Nine Years Ago (From the Cleveland Star of October 17, 1895) “Like Looking in the Family Albur*,'>’’ A Slick Trick. The Star reproduced 111* years ugo the following from the Rutherford* ton Democrat: “The heathen Chinese is not in it with the Tar Heel moonshiner, Baker, the man who was caught selling blockade liquor in a graveyard at Henrietta as related in our last is sue, can lay over a half dozen Celes tials and trump their last trick. He gave bond for his appearance for trial and-w as released from jail. He? then | had all his beard shaved off, put on a new suit of clothes and when he ap j peared on trial there was not a soli tary witness that could swear posi tively to his identity and he was dis charged.” The Tie That Binds. “Mr. James C. Morehead, a prom ising young man of Sharon, and Miss Selena Champion, daughter of Mr. John Champion, who resides near Broad River academy, were married last Wednesday evening, Rev. L. L. Smith performing the ceremony.” All These Years. ‘Bank Examiner R. T. Joyce was here Friday and examined the bank ing house of B. Blanton & Co. He said the bank was in fine condition and perfectly solid. He complimented the bank officers upon the fine con dition generally of the bank and es pecially the expert bookkeeping ex ecuted by Mr. VV. Harry Gooding. The people are to be congratulated upon securing such an efficient manuger as Mr. C. C. Blanton." Some Personals “Mr. J. P. Babington, of Patterson Springs, was here Saturday.” “Misses Mattie Adams and Laura Button spent Sunday in Gastonia." “Mr. C. H. Shull and family return ed home Saturday from the Atlanta exposition.” “Mr. D. Aug. Beam has returned from Iredell county with a number of horses and mules.” “Mr. J. Frank Roberts, the enter prising merchant from Patterson Springs, was in town Friday.” “Mr. Kemp Kendall left Tuesday for Morganton to attend the fair and look after the monazite at that place.’* “Rev.

Arm field, of States ville, was here last Wednesday and inspected the Cleveland guards. He paid the guards quite a high compli ment on their drilling.” Come Bark, Doctor. “Dr. R. C. Ellis brouht to this office a bunch of second crop grapes which were pretty well filled out, and had there been no frost for a few weeks would have matured.” Fire at Kings Mountain. > “The large and handsome duelling house owned and formerly occupied by CajJt. W. T. Bell at Kings Moun tain, was destroyed by fire last wek. It was located near \ the academy building.” Clyde Tells One. “It is reported that a few days ago a white married man living in No. 6 township, this county, imbibed a large amount of whiskey and upon going home one night and finding his family absent, he made his wav to the cook room, and for some cause attempted to reach the bottom of a barrel, when he became unbalanced and fell head foremost into it, where he was found next morning standing on his head. The man was sober and just alive, but has fully recovered now.’ Sweet Money. “Mr. B. C. Smith, of Grover, was in town Friday and brought a very fine sample- of his sorghum and gave us some figures regarding his crop. He Planted one acre in sugar cane and it made 144 gallons of molasses. To make this it cost only $9.95. He gave one-fifth to Mr. J. P. Moss, leaving 115 1-5 gallons on one acre, meaning a clear profit of $30.37.” Think of The Children. (By Miss Irma Bowman.) Let us stop and think of the children, Of our children of Shelby today; And strive with our might just to help them To drive all their defects away. If we’d only remember the babies, And not think of ourselves alone, Our town would soon fill with blos soms Of heallh, that we yet have not known. If we only could reach out and lift them From homes where no knowlede is found; Just think of the joy we could scatter And laughter of health all around. We’d not only be helping these chil ■ dren, ' ——" But to us it returns, says the sage. For these children will grow up to bless us, And will of their strength in our age. ’Tis as true as the sunshine in day time, Tis as true as the glory of night, That for our every deed of kindness There returns, to us, hours of de light. It is not “just a happen so” either, It was planned by the Almighty Hand; This lesson was brought us and taught us By Jesus, the true friend of man. As He walked with his own grief and sorrow, Bowed low with the weight of earth’s woe; He remembered the burdens of others Healed the body of friend and of foe. Do men gather figs from thistles? Do grapes on the thorn ever grow? If we would have health for Shelby, Seeds of health we ever must sow. Let us stop and think of the children, Let us heal with our bounty and love, And GOcI will send showers of bless, ings From within, from about, from above. Mineral Exhibit at Fair. China's War on Our Own Map. New York World. Put Peking down on top of Wash ington, and Shanghai, where two Chi nese armies have been fighting cor responds to Jacksonville, and, like it, is a seaport. Meantime, up in Boston, there is a powerful and totally independent gen eral named Chang Tso Lin, who de fies successive governments in Wash ington and has been planning for ten years to take the city when he had a chance. What fighting there has been so far is all at Jacksonville, where one local captain, loyal to the government in Washington, battles for the seaport with another local captain, balked by Chang Tso Lin in Boston. Chang sends arms and silver down by an army, too, and attack Washington while it is busy in the south; but China has none of the good roads that hum with Ameri can motoi- traffic Sunday afternoons, and so impassable are the trails with heavy rains that only on the railway can Chang attempt to move an army. That line is ooorlv stocked in extra engines. You will add, if you wish to place on our own map the third major force in China contending now for power, the army of Sun Yat Sfen, in Canton. Canton is still farther south. So far south, in fact, that there is no room for it inside out borders. It be comes a city off in Yucatan—and might as well be there, so little likely is Sun Yat Sen to affect the course of this new war in China. He is far off, with worse roads ahead of him than Chang and too precarious a hold on Yucatan to permit* of much adven turing. The real struggle is between Chang in Boston and the government in Washington. Chang is stronger, if he can move his troops. But he means nothing for his fellow-countrymen save machine guns, foreign intrigue and policy of divide and rule. China will probably fare better if the rains and bad roads halt his long march south. We recall that the Christian home of the older time never did any cook ing on Sunday and the members of the family found . it convenient to sneak out and drop in on neighbors who had a hot dinner. It was sinful to cook, but not to eat what was cook ed. Well, Readers Do You Want The News Here is n Liille Story Worth Reading And Perhaps It Has a Moral, Read it Anyway. Monroe Enquirer. “Saturday throe Enquirer subscrib ers were chaffing me about what they sometimes saw in the paper. “Why 'don’t you editors call a spade a spade.” was their demand. For their benefit I will relate a story which is going the rounds. It never happened, of course, and only shows that the public does not always want the truth and noth ing but the truth. "An Indiana editor one day got tired of continually croaking about there being no news in his paper and being accused Of printing news that was not t^ue, decided he would print some ’news that was true,” so here Yh what he had to say about some of the lead ing citizens: “ ‘John Bonin, our groceryman, is doing a poor business. His store is dirty and dusty'. How can he do much?’ “ ‘Tom Conway, the laziest merchant in town, made a bsuiness trip to Long port on Monday.’ “ ‘Rev. Sty preached last Sunday night on ‘Charity.’ The sermon was punk and fully an hour long.’ ‘ ’I>ave Cankey died at his home here on Tuesday. The doctor gave it out as heart failure. Whiskey killed him.’ “ ‘Married—Miss Elizabeth Rhodes and James Gordon, last Saturday at the Baptist parsonage by Rev. J. Gor don. The bride is n very ordinary town girl who doesn’t know any more about cooking than a jack rabbit, and never helped her mother three days in her life. She is not a beauty by any means, and has a gait like a duck. Be. fore her old man made money every* body called her ‘Liz’. The groom is an up-to-date loafer. He has been living off the old folks at home and not worth shucks. It will be a hard life.’ “ ‘Died after sixty years and six months and three days. Deceased was a mild mannered pirate, with a mouth for whiskey. He came here in the night with another man’s wife and joined the church at first chance. He j owes seven dollars for the paper, a j large, meat bill, and you could hear him pray six blocks. He died singing ‘Jesus Paid It All,’ and we think he’s j right, he never paid anything him | self. He was buried in an asbestos i coffin and his friends threw in several ! palm leaf fans.’ “ ‘If there be any who think the pa pers are not quite as lively as they should be, or that the news columns are a little off color with regard to the truth, should be careful. The editors might decide to tell the truth for once and it might be at your expense.’ “ ‘It might be interesting:, too, to include in some of the local items in the papers some of the real happen ings in our fair city, instead of the sterotyped expressions that find their way into the social columns. For in stance: “ ‘Mrs. John Jones, Mrs. Jim Smith. Mr. Jack Brown and Mrs. Sheik White, formed a rough swimming party the other night. They went out and returned in their bathing suit?. Their respective husbands and wives were out of town.’ “ ‘Sam Smith, one of the wealthiest and most prominent men in the city was found drunk last night in a ques tionable part of the city. The public never knew it, because he gave an as sumed name to the police. He was out, too, a few nights ago on a party with some wild women.’ “‘Miss Susie Smith, one of the city’s prominent debutantes, was car ried home drunk the other night aft er a gay party at a nearby resort. The news is just now getting out in town. Many others were in nearly as bad fix, but they move in the best circles of our town and in a few weeks they will be giving swell parties and re ceptions to which the town's elite will eagerly flock.’ “‘Hon. John Brown, prominent churchman, clubman and cotton brok er, bought a new Rolls-Royce the oth er day. This in spite of the fact that he has not paid his grocery bills for 12 months’.” I __ CABIN OF MARK TWAIN TO BE PLACED IN RENO PARK Reno, Nev.—The cabin in which Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) lived for a time at Aurora, Nev., is to be brought to Reno and placed in one of the parks. The cabin is situated on the property of George Wingfield, mining magnate, who is preparing to transfer title to it and its furnishings. The abode is much as Mark Twain left it when he deserted the west forj the east. The stove on which he cook* ed, though a trifle antiquated, is still in its place, and the wooden bunk | on which the famous author reclined when he thought out some of his west ern tales is intact. It was in this cabin that he wrote “Roughing It” and many other stories that carried the tang of Nevada. If people were as bad as some peo ple think, there would be a big short age of angels in heaven. _ STITE FORGING Oil IH TEXTILE WORK Commissioner Shipman's Report Shows Great Gain in the Num. her of Cotton Mills. Holding its position as one of the greatest cotton products manufactur ing states in the Union, North Caro lina during the biennial period which will end January 1, 1925 has forged ahead in every department of the in dustry, according to the biennial re port of the department of Labor and Printing which is beftig prepared for presentation to the governor and general assembly at the end of this year. Mitchell L. Shipman, commis sioner in charge of the department, made public the figures which he has amassed on the cotton Industry touch ing on every phase of the matter and which will be included in his report to the general assembly. Mills Keep Busy. North Carolina, as heretofore, ac cording to the digest of the various charts prepared by Mr. Shipman, and which will constitute Chapter one ot the 5th report of the department, ranks first in the south in cotton in dustry and second in the nation, be ing led by Massachusetts alone. How ever, during the past year, North Car olina has passed both Massachusetts and South Carolina in the number of active spindle hours. This however, is variable from month to month and the three states have alternated for leadership from time to time. Spindle hours, according to Mr. Shipman, are determined not alone by the number of spindles but by the activity of those spindles over a given period. Dur ing the past year, at times, though North Carolina has a lesser number of spindles, it has led in spindle hours, indicating that the state’s mills have been operating on a basis nearer to full time than those in South Caro lina and Massachusetts, meaning that the activity has been in a healthier state in North Carolina and that more work has been furnished cotton mill employes. 386 Mill* in State. Indicating that the tremendous de - velopment of the industry which has taken place during the past ten years has not ceased is the fact that there was an increase in the number of mills during the biennial period, there now being 286 operating within the state. Mr. Shipman regards this as a signi ficant fact because during the period there were consolidations in two or three cases, where a number of mills were merged into one. During the past two years, states Mr. Shipman, the capital stock invest ed in the mills also has inoreased, $168,292,542 representing the invest ment in the industry at the present time, a clear increase of close to twen ty millions in the past year. In every other line of the industry there have been increases, according to Mr. Shipman, who made a carefu! survey and investigation of the entire situation before writing his report. In addition, there has been decrease in the mills. At the present time there are 4,772 children between the ages of 14 and 16 working in the industry. Spindles have increased, looms, cards, horsepower employed, raw ma terials used, value of the yearly out put, number of employes—all those show an increase over the last bien nial period and also that a year ago, according to Mr. Shipman. Another fact of interest, he says, is that the average wage scale for the period is higher than that of two years ago. North Carolina leads all states in the number of mills, is second in the number of spindles, second in the val ue of products, second in value added by manufacture, and second in num ber of wage earners employed. The state is first however, in the manufac ture of numerous articles of the cot ton trade. GHOULS PILFER TOMB OF LATE MOSES CONE Lenoir, Oct. 20.—Ghouls have en tered, or have attempted to enter, the tomb of Moses Cone on Flat Top moun tain, Blowing Rock. Visitors to the tomb last evening noticed that some thing had been moved about the en trance to the grave and reported it to authorities. Upon investigation it was found that the grave had been dug into during the last few days. Further investigation has been stopped because of the condition of Mrs. Cone who was prostrated at the news, and to await the arrival of Ju lius Cone, of Greensboro, a brother. Officers are stationed about the en closure to see that no one enters or gets near the tomb. Moses Cone died December 8, 1908, and was buried on the highest peak of Flat Top mountain. Solid rock was chisled out for a place for the body. Whether or not the body has been bothered will not be known until the arrival of the brother and the investi gation is resumed.
