jn Speeches, Songs And Three
Kiwanis Clubs Of Cleveland And
Kutherford Enjoy Fine
Fellowship.
It was, “Howdy do, I’m triad to rce
you; Welcome to our city; I’m glad to
bo here” and other forms of greeting
and cheer when the Rutherfordton and
Forest City Kiwanis Clubs met with
the Shelby club at Cleveland Springs
Thursday night in a get-together,
good-fellowship revival. There were
some 150 guests present and Man
ager Vanstory served the best cui
sine he could muster. Speeches were
spoken, songs were sung and jokes
were cracked. While it was in no
sense a set meeting to put over any
certain project or proposition, it was
held for the purpose of co-operating
and co-ordinating the efforts of the
Kiwanians in these two great Pied
mont counties in the' Kiwanis motto
“We Build” and will result in a bet
ter understanding and a united ef
fort for the public good.
Miss Padgett Pleases.
President J. Clint Newton of the
Shelby Kiwanis presided and after
recognizing Dr. Duncan of Forest
( sty, the club had three vocal selec
tions by Miss Nell Padgett whe de
lighted the audience with her won
derful \jfcice. She was accompanied on
the piano by Miss Whisnant and the
two form one of the best duets in this
part of the state. Dr. Ayers, pastor
of tiie Baptist church at .Forest City
responded with a beautiful reference
to Keats, the poet, who thrice saw
victory snatched away, after which
he rent the veil and found that he
himself had been his own enemy and
stumbling block, expressing the hope
that Kiwanians would in no measure
be enemies to themselves or to their
communities for the lack of a prop
er understanding of their aspirations
and ideals.
Rutherfordton’s responses were
made by R. E. Price of The Sun,
Cadger Edwards, a young attorney
of that city and C. S. Royster, keep
er of the Rutherford cotinty home
whn.-e response was a vocal solo, “The
I-ittle Old Log Cabin in the Lcne,”
accompanied by two guitars. This
was followed by another delightful
parody on “In The Shade of the Old
Apple Tree” by Mr. Royster’s baby
daughter cvho had to stand in a chair
so she could be seen by all.
Love Of Home Section.
In Shelby’s behalf, Clyde R. Hoey
and O. Max Gardner were the princi
pal speakers and they measured up
to their accustomed standards of
oratory and eloquence. Mr. Hoey,
however, had expected to speak to a
body in which the ladies were in the
majority for on these occasions he is
inspired to reach the topmost heights,
■ut he was disappointed because it
was Hwstly a stag affair and he had
to change the subject of his remarks,
inwever, he rose to eloquence as he
appealed for a love of mankind that
m world-wide in its scope, emphasiz
ed lus love for the United States—
7e Premier nation of the world, but
declared that North Carolina and
Cleveland county to him are the dear
est spots in all the world because
'hey are “Home,” for “it is here the
grass grows a little greener, com
radeship is a little dearer, ties of
friendship are a little tighter and
(>wn and county are organized to
build and grow agriculturally, edu
cationally, religiously and industrially
all classes and sections working
harmoniousy towards these ends with
magnificent spirit and results.”

Just 4 Days After
Tuesday To Register
After Tuesday only four days
remain in which to register for
I the municipal election of May 4.
And all those within the new' area
must register to vote.
Squire T. C. Eskridge, who is
election registrar, says that so far
less than 500 voters have regis
tered. Does this indicate a heavy
or light vote? Through this last
week for registration Squire Esk
ridge will not have any appoint
ments in the area taken in by ex
tension or in any other part of
the regular registration stand in
the court house, where he may be
found by those desirous of regis
tering.
Outside of the candidates’ own
circles no extraordinary degree
of interest is being shown, and
within recent days a considerable
part of the interest in the munici
pal voting bee has been switched
to the prospective aldermen.
Shelby Man Suffers
Big Loss Of Lumber
II. Dixon Smith, son of Mr. and Mrs
Julius Smith of Shelby suffered a
loss estimated at $10,000 when the
! Sniith-Thomas Lumber yard at Lato,
Alabama was partially destroyed by
| fire early Saturday morning, accord
ing to telephone information receiv
ed here. The Smith-Thomas Lumber
plant which is owned by Mr. Smith
and Mr. Thomas, banker of Forest
City is located on the main railroad
track through Lato and it is supposed
the lumber, caught from a spark from
| a passing engine. There is no fire
'protection at the little town and for
I awhile the entire plant was threatened
: and it was feared that the loss would
I run to $25,000, but by noon Saturday
l the flames were about under control
and the damage was confined to the
large stock of lumber on the yard. It
is reported that the planer mill was
unharmed.
Thieves Blow Open
Lattimore Safe
The safe in the store of the
Farmers Mercantile company at
Lattimore was blown open by
thieves sometime last Friday
night. No money or anything of
consequence was taken from the
safe. However, the thieves made
away with pocket knives and num
erous other small articles found
about the store, according to
Manager W. S. Walker. There are
no clues so far to the thieves,
the safe was blown with nitro
glycerine.
A safe in the flame store was
blown one year ago last fall.

Abie’s Irish Rose
Tonight At Princess
Anne Nichols' great comedy success,
‘Abie’s Irish Rose” with the same
great cast and production that played
all the principal cities will be the at
traction at the Princess theatre on
Tuesday, April 21.
“Abie’s Irish Rose” is said to be the
most laughable play ever written in
the last twenty years and its record
breaking success for long runs has
never been equalled. In attempting to
describe it, every adjective in the dic
tionary that conveys the meaning of
laughter in any real form has been
dragged from its hiding place.
Some say it is hilarious, others will
admit that it is “rollicking", while
there are those that express their
opinions by saying it is “cyclonic”, but
all of those who have seen it will agree!
that it is quite the funniest play with
in memory and the most diverting
comedy ever written.

Yes, We Have Some
Jail; Not Open
To All Callers
Listen folks, Cleveland county has
some jail. In fact the new jail will es
tablish, or has so done, a world’s re
cord. It’s such a nifty place that the
people have to be kept out. Imagine,
will you, people having to be kept out
of jail. But, tis so—down in black and
white for one to see. Yessir, it will
be an exclusive bunch that will dwell
with Sheriff Hugh Logan in Cleve
land’s fine, new bastile. Just any
common nobody will not gain entrance
there. To do so one must be a full
fledged, hot-shot criminal, and per
haps then your calling card will be
questioned.
Now, all this talk is brought about
by a sign. Did you ever hear of a sign
forbidding people to enter a jail
bouse? Of all the forbidden spots the
Cleveland county jail is the latest
and one of the most unique, for nailed
across the entrance of the new jail is
a sign that reads: “Stay Out U.” Now
isn’t that the pineapple’s pickaninny?
And don't for a minute think the sign
is not being read, for undoubtedly it
is the only such sign in the world.
Oftimes has a newspaper had stories
of people trying to break in jail, but
never before has a reporter with a
nose for news and the roses of spring
rambled up on such a slap on the face
—Being told to keep out of jail in the
same tone as one is warned to not
walk on the grass. “Hunk-uh,” Sher
iff, some of ’em may need to be kept
out with a sign, but not us. Now, we
wonder,who it is that is so anxious
to get in jail the “standing room
only” sign had to be hung out?
By the way, since it’s spring time
and folks are moving into their brand
new ‘handsome homes” and those that
do not have new homes are trying to
make them “look as good as new
Sheriff Logan and official Cleveland
county has caught the fever, like a
youngster being taken sick with
Springtime love, and will move this
week or next into the new jail. Of
course, the old prisoners will be tak
en along and perhaps they think they
are entitled to a new, spick-and-span
cell, The date of the moving into the
newr county hotel has not been defin
itely announced as to the day, but
mayhaps some of the guests in celebra
tion of the event will invite their
friends and stage a house-warming.
But, in the name of Hector’s cat,
who is the sign for?

May Have 60,000 Acres
In Cotton This Year
Expect Increase In County's Cotton
Acreage, Hut Farmers Are Mind*
fu! Of Feed Crops. Lands
Well Prepared.
Barring Hilly Boll Weevil, other
pests and mishaps Cleveland coun
ty may set a new cotton record again
this year. County Agent Lawrence
will not be surprised in the least if
00,000 acres or more are not planted
in cotton in the county this year In
fact all inclinations point to such an
acreage. Last year around 58,000
acres of Cleveland county land was
devoted to the production of “White
Gold" and it is a surety that there
will be no let-up, with a good possi
bility of the acreage being increased
to around 00,000. But if Billy Boll
Weevil conies
And wieh the dread thought Law
rence goes to talking cheerfully of
corn and feed crops. He quotes Mr.
D. F. Beam, of the Lawndale section
of the county, who says the farmers
in his section are planting plenty of
corn this year, and that many are al
ready through planting and are now
planting cotton—an encouraging re
mark should the Mexican cotton gob
bler ruination rambler hit the coun
ty hard.
The County agent goes on to say
that the farmers in the county have
their land better prepared than ever
before and that prospects -are bright
for another good, all-round crop in
the county.
Many farmers have had all the ex
perience they want this year in buy
ing corn and hay and are not going
to be caught with empty cribs and
barns another year—which is another
comfort.
Office Changes On
At Court House
After this week the directory of of
fices at the county court house will
have to be changed slightly for the
convenience of those transacting busi
ness there. The offices of J. C. New
ton, county superintendent of schools
and of R. E. Lawrence, county agent,
have been changed, or will be changed
this week. County Agent Lawrence
and O. F. McGill, of the Cotton co-ops,
who formerly occupied the office room
to the right of the stairs going up,
have moved across the hall into the
opposite office, heretofore occupied by
'Squire T. C. Eskridge. The office room
vacated by them has been made to
connect with the adjoining room,
formerly used by the No. 6 highway
commissioners, and will be used as
headquarters for the schools of the
county, Mr. Newton and his assistants.
By the connection the school officials
will have ample room and be free
from outside disturbance on the
ground floor. The office to the front
on the first floor, formerly used by
Superintendent Newton, will hereafter
be the headquarters of Mr. W. R. New
ton, county tax supervisor. Those with
business at the court house might well
remember the changes made.
Beam To Publish
Agromeck Of 1926
State College—Last week the Jun
ior Class met and elected the men
whom it wished in charge of their
year book, the 192G Agromeck. J. M.
Potter, of Burlington, was named
editor, while R. D. Beam, of Shelby,
was given the position of business
manager.
The two men elected are well nual
ified for the positions given them,
both having served well on the staff
of the 1925 annual. It is the hope of
the newly elected men that they will
be able to equal, if not. better, the
high standard which the book re
quires.

Farmers and Townsfolk?; Should Hear
Alabama Senator Here Thurs
day night. Great Orator.
Cleveland county folks who miss
hearing Senator Tom Heflin, of Ala
bama. speak in the Central school au
ditorium here Thursday night will un
knowingly skip a rare treat in oratory
and wit. Every farmer and his family
in the county and every resident, who
calls himself a or herself a townsman
or townswoman should hear this su
perior speaker of the Southland.
Those who hear him will remember
what he says for many years, for
Heflin has a manner of speaking that
sticks. What's more the speech will be
undt r the auspices of the high school
athletic association and all Cleveland
county is interested in the local high
athletes; who come from all sections
of the county.
Is a “Spell Binder.”
Back in the days when Clyde Hoey
was in Congress he passed under the
title of the “Silver Tongue of the
Southland,” and as yet Cleveland
county folks fall readily and gladly to
the charm of his oratory. And no other
than Mr. Hoey wants every person in
the county to hear Heflin Thursday
night and in him hear “the South’s su
perior joke teller and spell binder,”
which should be recommendation
enough for Heflin hereabouts, nl
i though it. be the Alabaman's first ap
pear;; me here.
Heflin spoke at the big Smithfield
exposition and compl ly captivated
his hearers. Tom Bost, me red-headed
plain-talking newspaper man of Ral
eigh, who calls a good speech a good,
speech and a bad one a real had
without compunction, in his article on
Heflin's speech spread himself, an **,.
cerpt of which follows:
“Tom Heflin made diners take out
their note books to get his rare col
lection of stories and he probably did
the Eastern Carolina exposition more
good than any of his heavyweight
predecessors could have done. The way
he put it over Billy Sunday as a crowd
charmer was a sin. Even the preach
ers who sat with Sunday and laughed
at his wonderful familiarity with the
deity, gathered nothing from him
that could be treasured in their little
books. But today after Heflin had
spun his first two yarns the clerics,
lawyers, newspaper men and ‘the plain
people’ were writing down the Heflin
jokes which kept the crowd convulsed”.
Made Mother's Day.
And along with Heflin’s coming
there is something that should make
him of added interest to the women—.
for that matter to all mankind: Hef
lin was the author of the resolution in
Congress making the second Sunday
in May Mother’s Day. In the Alabama
orator there is much of the poet and
i he bubbles over with Southern tradi
tion and lore, dealing almost wholly
in his talks with the Southland he
loves so dear. With an impressive per
sonality, and a rich, resonant voice he
has a way of combining the frivolous
with the serious that makes of it both
an entertaining and inspiring mixture.
A quaint Southern drawl and twang,
jokes galore—as Bost relates—and
beautiful word pictures that are gems
to linger on the memory. That’s Hef
lin, the Alabaman that could almost
make the Sphinx laugh, and will speak
here Thursday night. Hear him.
