Gasoline Trains Are Likely By Shelby Hamlet.—While rio definite decision Has as yet been reached, according to local officials, it is probable that single coached gasoline trains will be operat ed between Charlotte and Rutherford-, ton. These trains it is proposed, will: take the place of trains Nos. 21 and •'•1 that were discontinued between the above named points on January 1. Asked for verification of the report a local official said that such train would probably be operated during the spring months. The date for the inau guration of such aservice has not been fixed. At present a coach service is in operation on the Seaboard system between Lane and Georgetown and has proven very satisfactory, both to the management and patrons of the road. Just what type coach will be used is Pot known, but it is said that the type equipped with gasoline engines which run the generator and produces elec t licit y fort* the operation of the car - is most satisfactory. The service will he instituted as an experiment, and if it proves to be profitable, it will be continued and may even be increas ed and extended.

Crosby, Driver Of Car, Attends Funeral. Father In Hospital Aa Time. h award Melvin Auteti. jr.. 14-year* old son of Mr. and Mrs. E M. Auten, was almost instantly killed shortly after 4 o clock .Saturday afternoon when the bicycle he was riding \va • struck by an automobile on East Ma rion street and be was hurled to the curb, crashing his‘head. \ oung Auten, working as a delivery boy for a local grocer, was making a deliverv at the time and in going down East Marion by the side of a Ford touring car atempted to turn in front of the car it is said and make an alley leading to a negro settlement to the rear of the home of Mr. W. R. Hoey, in front of which the tragic death oc curred. Whether the hoy misjudged the distance or the time he had to pass in front of the car is not known, but the front of the car struck him solid, the impact hurling him against the edge of the street curb, crushing his head. He lived for 10 or 15 minutes after the crash, some say but never spoke. Others say he died instantly. To Have Investigation. Noah Crosby, a young farmer of the Buffalo section, was driving the car and in the car with him were his father, Julius Crosby, and a brother. W. G. Crosbv. P'rom the accounts of the tragedy it is thought that it was unavoidable. No inquest was held, but an investigation was made by the of ficers and Recorder Mull, who placed Crosby under a bond of SI,000 a for mal investigation to be held Wednes day. According to the Crosbvs and other information it appears that the hoy was riding on the left of the road and the car travelling on the right, both going east. As they neared the alley young Auten cut in front, they say, and attempted to ride in the alley. The car was almost upon him and could not be stopped before it struck him, young Crosby says. Mr. Hoey. who heard the crash and was unon the scene a few seconds later, took a sim ilar view judging from the conditions and location of the wrecked wheel and the car. Many Attend Funeral. Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at 2:30 g>'clock at the Pres byterian church, conducted by Rev. W, A. Murray, and interment was in Sun set cemetery. A large crowd attend ed the services and among those pres ent was young Crosby, driver of the death car. According to friends Crosby says that the car will l>c sold as he could not -land to keep and (have it.

Van McKinney, Juniors. 1 he deceased was 11 years and nine months old and well known over the town, being n brother of Junius Auten captain of the 1021 Shelby football eleven, Western Carolina champions. He was in the seventh grade at the local school. The tragedy was a shock to the* entire town and especially to friends of the family. Tt followed a series of small crashes and jams caus ed by a continued spell of rain. Father in Hospital. The death was more tragic due to the fact that the father of the boy, a local contractor, was in the Shelby Public hospital, where he has been ill for sometime with empyema, and his condition was such that he was unable to attend the funeral or go to his home. Advice from the hospital is that Mr. Auten is improving r,lowly. Witnessed by Another. Another slightly different view of the tragedy, which also places it as unavoidable, is told by Fred Simmons, who lives in the Jetton house opposite where the accident occurred. Simmons says he saw the boy coming down the hill in front of the Crosby car and close to the right side of the hard surface. As he neared the alley he turned towards the middle of the hard surface so as to have leeway to turn again to the left. The car driver, ap parently thinking he was going on to the left swerved to the right to avoid hitting him, but struck the wheel solid when Young Anton curved suddenly hack to the rich", to make the alley. According to Simmons the car passed entirely over the hoy and wheel, and a rear wheel- of the ear stopped on the pavement. The boy was dead when Simmons reached him immedi ately after the accident, his head be ing badly crushed and feeling like a sack of rocks, 0‘bcr cars were passing or nearing the scene at the time, but Simmons perhaps was the only one other than the Crosbys to witness the 'V'?** aivi Simmons when asked says that he believes “it was purely acci dental.” Beam Recovering From His Injury Mr. John Beam, who was serious ly injured when he was hit by a car driven by John Burgess Monday evening of last week, is recovering according to Dr. Harbison, staff sur geon at the Shelby Hospital, The in jured man is progressing nicely and his recovery now seems assured and he may be able to leave the hospital in a few days, it is said. Burgess, who says that he did not know that he hit any one and kept going because he was frightened, is under a $3,000 bond awaiting a hear ing that will be held soon. Bond was made by Mr.' Charlie Rheinhardt. South Shelby merchant, by whom he is employed as a meat cutter. In the report of the accident it was stated that reports given the officers were to the effect that Burgess was mar ried last week, when it should have read that he “was to have been mar ried.” The mistake was noted by Mr. Burgess and the correction is gladly made. Whether or not the report was correct concerning the “was to have been” is not known.

The dirt roads of the county are in ! the y.orst, condition in years, accord- j ins to farmers from all parts of the county who visit Shelby under diffi culties. The continuous rains and the freezing weather during the holidays have made it impossible for the main- j tenancy forces to do any effective re- j pair work and even the best road", of : the county are travelled with diffi- j eulty. The roads are not only slick and ! slippery but are cut in deep holes, | making travel dangerous and slow. i Physicians find it hard to meet their calls, gasoline distributors and whole salers who operate trucks, say it is almost impossible to make some of their points of delivery and farmers j who come only a short distance to ; town say the condition of the roads i makes it hard to travel for a ear. j The jitney service has been interrupt-1 ed between Shelby and Asheville, but I continues to other points, although there are delays in making the sche dules. The streams are badly swollen be cause of the continuous downpour of rains, but so far no bridges have been reported washed away but in re building after the 1916 flood the county commissioners saw to it that the bridges were replaced above the high water mark.

FaPs Says Economy Will Be Followed By N. C. Lawmakers Hon. I). T. Fall.-, R* li m;.1 from for the week end says the legir.lativ.' whH., will not begin to turn until this week, the delay being oreas oned by the change of gover nors Mr. Mr heart will address a joint session of the house arid senate on Wedrt -day of this week when he will present certain state wide prop ositions which the law makers will tak- into consideration. Mr, Falls says that while there are a few old-timers who fell they have a r'gltt to d rect affairs of state be cause of their previous service and these are disposed to go headlong in debt for anything and everything, a majority of th ■ law makers are pledged to economy and they will stem any effort to raid the treasury. Then' is already a deficit of six and a half million dollars and Judge Falls a for going slow on other appro priations . for date institutions which ar • calling for millions more. While there ere two factions in Raleigh on the matter of appropriation-. Judge Falls thinks the show down will come soon and that the economists will win. Judge Falla is comfortably located in the private home of Mrs. Rainey on Hillsboro street, close to the capi tal building. Mrs. Lemons’ Father Dies Here Suddenly Aged Baptist Minister Of Missouri Dies Here At Howe Of Dr. And Mrs. It. L Lemons. Rev. John J. Griffin, aged Baptist minister of Missouri, died here Sat urday morning at 1:30 o’clock at the home of his daughter, Mrs. R. L. Lemons on West Marion street, death being unexpected and .very sudden from a heart attack. Mr. Griffin was 82 years of age and one of the pioneer Baptist ministers of Missouri where for over a half century he supplied rural and small town churches. He was born in Audrian county, Missouri the son of n Baptist minister and the grandson of a Baptist minister. Be cause of his advanced age and feeble health he was forced to give up his noble work some years ago and since that time he and his devoted companion have been living alter nately with their two daughters, Mrs. Lemons of Shelby and Mrs. It. K. Kelly wife of the pastor of the Levy Park Baptist church in Saint Louis. Six months ago they came to Shelby to spend the winter. His health had been fairly good for a man of his advanced years and he seemed in his usual health Friday night when he retired, but during the night he felt the fatal attack approaching and sat up in a chair, the end coming soon thereafter without a struggle. Dr. and Mrs. Lemons and her aged mother left with the body over the Southern at 10 a. m., Saturday for Troy, Missouri where the funeral and interment will take place Monday. Mrs. Griffin who is quite feeble and ! ad to be lifted on the train in a chair will remain in Saint Louis with her other daughter Mrs. Kelly, while | Dr. and Mrs. Lemons are expected I to return to Shelby the last of this j week. Farm Census Is Now Taken Ever where “In every township of North Car-: olina there is a census enumerator! asking farmers for much detailed in-; formation about their last year’s farm ! ing operations. For fear some do not understand this, some explanations j are offered herewith: “This information is being collect ed from every farm in the United States. Ii is required by law. Each farmer is expected to tell the enumer ators as near the truth as they can, all the information asked for. A pen alty is provided for those who refuse. It has nothing to do with any taxa tion. It is for satistical purposes and use only. It is strictly confidential. The records are burned—only uni dentified data js left. It is solely for; the benefit of the farmers’ interests. “Every farmer, whether landlord,1 tenant or cropper, should be interest- i ed, because it gives facts that lead to j a proper understanding of actual con ditions, (provided farmers answer truthfully—underestimations and om issions w'ork to their disadvantage). “This census is being taken pri marily for the benefit of the farmers. The information is used for satistical purposes and is confidential. Farmers should be willing and glad to give the in formation completely and fairly— accurately. (How else can their prob lems be studied and solved?) “This information has nothing to do with taxation of any kind. It is for the benefit of farmers and for the ad vancement of the agricultural in dustry.” If you let Human Nature have her way, the chances are good that she will let you have yours. Bank Deposits Are Nearly Six Million I he bank deposits of the various banks in Clecvlaiid eonty total $5, 800,000 accord ini;- to the published statements of the various banking institutions as of December 21st,, 1024. This indicates the healthy growth of the county, for the to tal is larger than ever before, de spite the fact that the cotton crop last year was worth a million and a half less than the previous year. \V hiic the deposits at e larger, the loans and discounts are also heavy, showing a demand for money and a willingness on the part of the batik officials to make loans on good paper. 'Many of the banks, however, have borrowed from the outside in order to meet require ments. High School Star Is In Sanatorium All-State Baseball I'layer And boot ball Star On Championship Eleven Has Lung Trouble. Glenn Cline Lee, captain of Shel by's high school baseball club that won the 1924 state championship and considered one of the best baseball players ever produced in the high schools of the state, left Shelby Wed nesday for Southern Pines, where he entered a private hospital for the treatment of lung trouble. According to Dr. Reuben McBraycr the high school star has slight symptoms of tuberculosis which may be halted with proper treatment. He will remain at the private sanatorium until he can be admitted to the state institution. He is expected to be under treatment for at least eight monhs, and will therefore not be able to play with his team in his last year in school. In addition to being a star baseball play er young Lee was selected as All Western end on Shelby’s Western championship eleven and was men tioned for an all state berth. When the all-state high school club was selected last spring Lee, short stop on the Shelby club, was termed by the ‘port writers who made the selection as one of the best appear ing high school players seen in years in North Carolina high schools. Fol lowing the selection he received quite a number of professional offers form minor leagues and one leading to the majors, but refused them as he wished to continue his education ami enter college. Lee, a native of the Lawndale section worked at odd jobs around the school in order to keep in school, but was one of the most popu lar boys in school and would likely have headed the school club again this spring. Outstanding in state ath letics because he was versatile and a star in two sports and facing a bril liant athletic career the youngster’s affliction is regretted hero and over the state and his hundred^ of friends are hoping for him a speedy and com plete recovery. The hopes of the high baseball team for this year have been cloud ed somewhat in recent weeks. In ad dition to the illness of the star short stop ifnd last year’s captain, the oth er outstanding player on the team, b red Beam, all-state catcher, may not be able to play owing In a par tial paralysis or numbness of the face, from which he has been suffer ing for several weeks. He has return ed to school after undergoing treat ment, but his face has not complete ly recovered. The facial trouble was attributed to several things by phy sicians, but may have resulted from some injury received during the foot ball season, Beam being the only Shelby player chosen on the mythi cal all-state selection. Beam and Cline are both from the same section of the county. Want Judge Webb To Open New Court House The county commissioners of Ca tawba county on Monday, January oth unanimously adopted a resolution expressing their wish and desire that Judge J. L. Webb, resident judge of the district in which Catawba is lo cated, to open the newly completed Court House in Catawba. The court building is nearing completion and is expected to be ready for the Febru ary term. The building is of stone and resembles very much the court house of Cleveland. Since it is the desire of the commissioners of Catawba that Judge Webb hold the first term in the new building, C. R. Brady, chair man of the board and Jesse C. Sig mon, attorney for the board were ap pointed a committee to confer with the bar association to arrange a suit-, able program for the formal opening to the public. The time for the open ing has not been agreed upon. —Weather Forecast—Weather fore cast for Monday, issued at noon “probably rain. Colder in southwest portion and in South Tuesday.” Huge Amount Spent f» Fertilizer by County Shows Not'd of “Fer tilizer Week.” ( levelnnd county formers lost year spent or used over a half million dol lars worth of fertilizer and will uae at least that much this year accord ing to an estimate by County Agent Lawrence. It is estimated that a to tal of 18,736 tons was used at an ap proximate cost of |562,,080. Fourteen thousand eight hundred and five tons were used for cotton; 2,740 for com and the remainder divided between wheat, oats, potatoes and other small crops. I he estimate was made in connec tion with “Fertilizer Week” to be held in the county January 26-31. During this week in the rural schools from the sixth grade up fertlizer problems and formulas for working out analy sis will he taught instead of the regu lar arithmetic classes. The course was tauhgt last year at Lattimore with success, and with county-wide instruc tion should be of great benefit. It is important that a county that spends a half million dollars annually for fertilizer should be acquainted with the formulas and the campaign and the instruction in the school during the last week of the month will be stressed by the Exten sion Service and County Board of ag riculture. Big Safety Coacches To Operate Soon The big Safety Coaches now being used on bus lines in the heavy travel ed sections of the state will begin plying to and from between Shelby and Chairlotte within few weeks, it is announced by the management of one of the lines between here and Char 'otte. Two of the mammoth busses ■ •ave already been ordered and are ex pected to be operating on Highway 2€ by February, it is said. Three of the coaches have been purchased and they will operate between Charlotte and Shelby, one each direction every two hours. Of recent weeks the passenger traffic on the bus lines between the two points has been so heavy that the regular passenger cars could.not cope with the situation, on many cf the journeys the cars being packed and unable to handle all of the pas sengers. That the big coaches go on is evidence that passenger traffic on Highway 20 between here and Char lotte is as heavy as that on any other route in the state. Used Wilson’s Seat. News and Observer. “Somehow I don’t u 11 easily, I don't know whether it it. lack of im agination or what you would call it,” declared Governor Angus Wilton Mc Lean at his daily conference with newspaper men yesterday when asked how it felt to govern. “I attended the same church in Washington as President Wilson and when the President went to Europe I was given his seat in the church” re called the governor. “I was told about it as if it was something to cause me to jump up and clap my heels in the air but somehow I never did thrill over it," he declared. I). M. NORMAN BUYS 78 ACRES NEAR TOLUCA D. M. Norman has purchased through J. B. Nolan Company, 78 acres of land near Toluca in Lincoln county, the property known *as the Sallie Houser farm. Mr. Norman also purchased the George Mull Store and residence, the store to continue under the niiitiagement of Mr. Mull. J. L. Thomasson has purchased through the Nolan Company from P. P. Richards of Lawndale three lots on Fairview *heights adjoining his other property in this section. He contemplates developing this into high class residential property. Suspicious. “Now I don’t want you to go to any trouble on my account,” politely announced the missionary who had dropped around at mealtime. “We won’t," grimly announced the cannibal chief. “You’ll have to take pot luck.” Birthday Dinner. There will be a birthday dinner at J. Y. fiord’s old place near the Waco 'i^ol building for W. L. Barrett, cel ebrating his 56th birthday. Everybody '•ordial y invited to come and bring well filled baskets. Now and then there is a jury that has the nerve to return a verdict in accordance with the law and the evi dence.
