Noted Educator Talks On F.qual
Education Advantages. List Of
Medal Winners and Graduates.
Trof. J. H. Highsmith, state super
intendent of ldgh schools was the
principal speaker Saturday on the
closing day of the Lattimore school
commencement when the large audi
torium was filled to hear his address
on “Equalization of Educational Op
portunity in North Carolina in
which he po'nted out four ways by
which all children, both rural and ur
ban, may have an equal educational
advantage.
In the first place he would put
every dollar of the state's wealth
hack of education and in arguing
whether the nation is able to do this
or not, he pointed out that 80 per
cent of the automobiles of the world
are owned in America, that we spent
700 millions annually for tobacco, 750
millions for toilet articles and per
fumes, 775 millions for the "movie?,"
more than a million for candy and ice
cream, yet only a trillion and a half
for such an important thing as the
education of our heart, head and
hands. There are 325,000 automo
biles in North Carolina which an
average value of $1,000 represents
225 million dollars, while in 1900 all
of the public school property in the
state was worth only a little over a
million. Speaking of the great strides
that are being made since 1900, Prof.
Highsmith told of a million and a
half educational plant in the city of
Winston-Salem' alone and that the
prospects throughout the state when
present buildings are completed will
,-ee tiie school property worth 05 mil
lions. This is a glorious achievement
but the end is not yet when the state
< can invest 325 millions in' motor ve
hicles.
An eight months school term was
strongly advocated by the speaker in
order that the children in the rural
communities might have equal ad
vantages with those in cities. He ex
pressed sympathy with the boys and
girls from the rural districts tjiat go
to college unprepared because their
opportunities of schooling were not
equal with those of the boys and
girls from the cities.
His next means of equalizing op
portunities is the matter of teachers.
On this he dwelt at some length, de
claring that the one and two teach
er schools are rapidly passing because
the larger the school the higher the
standard and more efficient the
teaching force. He would gradually
raise the standard for certificates and
welcome the day when all schools
would have teachers of equal effic
iency and equipment of equal stand
ards.
In the fourth place Prof. High
smith, in his plan of equalizing op
portunity in education in North Car
olina, he would consolidate schools
and transport pupils, which is rapidly
coming about. Nods of assent were
noticed in the audience when he ven
tured that the rightful place for
high school boys and girls at night is
in the home under the watchful care
of parents and that he would not
send his boy away from home to a
hoarding high school if all tuition,
board, books and clothes were furnish
ed free of charge.
This business of education is the
biggest in the state and while great
progress has been made within the
last 20 years, educational progress had
a long ways to go and the end is not
yet.
Editor Lee B. Weathers introduced
l’rof. Highsmith, reminding him that
he was in the leading farming section
of Cleveland, the section that start
ed the rural lighting program, took
the lead in good roads and now has
some of the finest rural churches and
schools in North Carolina. On the
platform sat the Lattimore school
committeemen, county board of edu
cation, Supt. J. C. Newton, and Supt.
Lawton Blanton.

relations being carried on by the two
representatives of the nation’s leading

and spoke briefly t^S> Kiwanians
; before his lecture in tne school audi

the country and in conclusion added
that some day he hoped the South

time he occupied the floor thoroughly
entertained his hcarets with his sound
ideas and ready humor.

Just at the end of the song pre
ceding the sermon Sunday night
in the Methodist Protestant

roen in white robes and full rega
lia filed silently into the church

climate of Cleveland county. Each va.
riety will be picked separately and a
close record kept on an acre basis in
order that the farmer of Cleveland
might have the benefit of this experi
ment next fall when planting time

Neatly Made Copper Outfit Taken in
Home of Walter Mauney Near
School at Kastsidc.
As- the days flit by and others
come the people of Shelby are grad
ually realizing what all they took in
by extension. The latest acquisition
brought about by extension by a freak
of fate or a “squeal” was the neat
est made copper still ever exhibited
in Recorder Mull's court. And this still
was not discovered in some hidden
nook of the South Mountains or on a
remote farm down in the pasture, hut
right in official Shelby.
Friday night Chief of Police B. 0.
Hamrick and Officers Kendrick, lies
ter, and Harrill made a visit to the
Eastside section, one of the new parts
of town. Their visit directly led to a
call upon Walter Mauney, young mam
ried man, who lives near the Eastside
.school. According to the officers a
Search was instituted for it seems re
ports were to the effect that Mauney
was retailing the forbidden “firewa
ter” and more than likely the officers
expected to find pints or quarts, but
instead they met with a surprise. One
room of the house was locked, and the
shades were drawn. Upon request
Mauney’s wife produced the key and
the officers entered to find a neatly
made, clean-appearing little copper
still, and an equally perfect worm. In
another corner a barrel was found
containing about 50 gallons of beer.
No. liquor was found, but officers tes
tified that vessels were found that!
had contained liquor.
Chief Hamrick testified that
Mauney, who bears a fine appearance,
did not deny anything about the still,
but refused to talk much other than
admit his guilt and say that he was
sorry.
In the court room Saturday Maun
ey’s loyal wife, young baby and two
other children were with him, but
Judge Mull expressing sorrow for the
young wife and children, would not
change his original sentence of 1<J
months in jail to be worked on the
roads. Mauhey may get to serve his
time in jail as1 sometime back he was
severely injured in an automobile
wreck west of Shelby and walked with
the aid of a cane on entering the
court room.
Making a statement about his guilt
the.defendant admitted making liquor,
said that he himself made the still and
had made only one run of three quarts
and had drunk that. His plea for
mercy was based on the fact that his
injury in the wreck indirectly led to
his making liquor ani^ that he would
be unable to Work. Officers seemed to
think that others were in on the man
ufacture and Mauney was informed
that if he cared to tell complete de*
tails that his sentence might bo re
medied, but Mauney had nothing fur
ther to say other than that he was the
only one to have any connection with
the still.
As the court ground on tp another
case the young wife sobbed silently
and the small infant on her lap kicked
gleefully, knowing not of the tragedy
of the darkened cell that had entered
its family, and the prisoner turned
over what money he had in his pocket
to his wife to help support her and
the children while he was paying the
law' its toll for violation.
Mauney, it is said, moved to Shelby
about one year ago from Marion, and
it was not recorded in court that he
had ever been before the tribunal of
justice before.
Woman’s Club Made
Nice Sum Money
In the two-days sale and fashion re
view held' at Fanning’s department
store last week with the Woman’s
club of Shelby receiving five per cent
of cash sales as a courtesy by the
Fanning management the club receiv
ed $6!>.30 as their per eentage. The
sale and revue was well-attended ana
the club as well as the store feels ap
preciative for the sales made during
the day. Mrs. F. R. Morgan, president
of the club, and in behalf of the wo.
men of Shelby says ‘‘that the club' is
deeply grateful to Mr. Fanning and to
those who helped make the sales of the
two days successful.” The club in fur
nishing the club rooms in the new Ma
sonic temple is in need of money and
such courtesies and favors are not
forgotten by the ladies of the city.

l'aninu University Actors To Present
Three Fine Plays At Central
School Auditorium.
The Playmakers from the Univers
ity of North Carolina will present
three one-act plays at the Central
school auditorium here Thursday
evening, April 30, under the auspices
of he Music and Arts department of
the Woman's club. The three plays
are of North Carolina life and should
be of much interest to local people.
A large audience should greet the
Playmakers as this is their first ap
pearance here, although they have
trained fume over the entire nation,
and further because the entertain
ment is for the benefit of the Wo
man’s club.
The plays are produced by native
players who know and feel deeply
the life they portray. No problems
of dialect'here. A girl-of a sparsely
settled farming section Carolina
brought up in the atmosphere of the
plantation days of the Old South in
inherently suited to beautiful crino
lines and graceful sweeping curtseys.
A boy of the East who carries with
him the impressions of his mammy’s
stories of witchcraft and negro super
stiion will feel keenly “the awe of
powers in heaven and earth still un
defined.’’ The fife is theirs and un
consciously they live it on the stage.
For seven years The Carolina Play
makers have been writing and pro
ducing native drama and for the past
five years have presented these plays
to a total audience of nearly 100,000
people,. The Playmakers’ state tours
have chiefly been confined to North
Carolina but recently they made their
First Southern Tour into South Caro^
lina and Georgia, by playing in At
lanta, Macon. Savannah, Charleston,
Columbia, and other southern points.
The state tours are usually made in
a big white passenger bus with a
Ford chartered to carry their scen
ery. Says The New York Times,
“They produce things of real dra
matic merit and when they go on tour
they are Well received. The whole
state knows about them and watches
their work, waits eagerly lor their
new performances, ^compares, sug
gests, and criticizes.” The aim of the
Playmakers is to establish a State
Theatre with a permanent repertory
company which will be able to meet
the ever-increasing demands upon
them for performance.-.
Paid $21 For Three
Cars And Had Bad
Luck With Group
The next entrant for “the hard
est-luck human’’ living will be a
farmer who resides between
Kings Mountain a.nd Shelby. He
paid $21 for three automobiles,
two wouldn't run, the officers got
him about the third, and to top the
ill-fortune he had to pay a worth
less check. Job never had to deal
with cars that wouldn't run.
Saturday morning in recorder’s
court the farmer-defendant was
charged with operating a car with
out license. He said that until
after the officers caught him he
did not know that license was ne
cessary and that after finding it
out he couldn’t get a license be
cause ne uni not nave a uue.
Then the matter of where he se
cured the car came up and the
court learned that it was his third
car in recent months; that he paid
$10 down on the first one and let
the owners have it back because
it would not run home; that he
paid $5 down on the second car
and and had to leave it at the
home of relatives because it would
not carry him back to his home,
and that he was required to pay
$6 down on his third car and was
nabbed by the officers for not Hav
ing; a title. Judge Mull ordered
hig to get a title and license be
fore operating the car any more
and to pay a fine of $10 and the
costs. Then came another blow,
w’hen the solicitor informed the
court that he also had a $10
worthless check on the defendant,
and the last was straightened out
by the defendant making the
check good and paying the costs.
The next time you have three
blowouts in 11 minutes and con
sider yourself born under an un
lucky star just remember this
particular defendant and smile.

Mr, Fulcher. Millionaire Federal Truck
Manufacturer and Ilia Wife
Visit Mr. L. J. Wagner.
Mr. Mike L,. Fulcher, millionaire
truck manufacturer of Detroit and one
of the lending men in the motor in
dustry of America, and his wife who
is the daughter of Mr. L. J. Wagner,
contractor and quarryman, have been
spending a few days with Mr. Wagner
on N. Morgan street. Mr. Fulcher is
president and’general manager of the
Federal Motor Truck corporation
which has a capital stock of two mil
lion and a cash surplus of over a mil
lion dollars. He began his career in
the manufacture of buggies but start
ed the Federal Truck when the motpr
industry was in its infancy. Today he
is one of the leaders in his field. Mr.
Fulcher is a most charming and enter
taining person, highly democratic in
his conduct, yet one of the best in
formed men on business affairs that
has ever visited Shelby.
This was his first trip to Shelby
and while here he made his first in
spection trip to textile mills, declar
ing the smoothness of the machines
and the perfect organization of the
employes to be a marvelous sight. He
was greatly impressed with the natur
al beauty and climate of Piedmont
Carolina, the magnificent roads and
evidences Of prosperity on every hand.
A more intensified sales campaign
will soon be conducted in North Car
olina and in all probability he will es
tablish a distributing plant in Char
lotte or Greensboro for the Federal
trucks. ‘Brick and mortar and money
are easy to obtain but men of brains
to handle them successfully is the cry
ing need of business interests of
America, not only in the motor field,
but in every field,” declared Mr. Pul-1
Cher.
At present his plant in Detroit turns
out 750 truck a month. Porduction is
being speeded up in the hope of reach
ing 1,000 a month sometime this year.
The plant makes sizes from one to sev
en and a half tons and if his yearly pro
duct ion were placed end to end they
would reach a distance of 32 miles.
The best sections of the country at
this time for business are east of the
Mississippi and north of Ohio, while
substantial improvement is showing
up in the Mississippi valley section
where farm conditions are better. Mr.
Pulcher has recently been before the
secretary of the treasury with a dele
gation asking that the three per cent
war tax on trucks be removed.
Speaking further of the motor in
dustry Mr. Pulcher favors the national
government collecting the auto license
and re-distributing to the states and
a more uniform standard of require
ments in their manufacture. One state
forbids certain widths, another certain
weights, etc., and this is much trou
ble to the manufacturers.
Mr. and Mrs. Pulcher, accompanied
by Mr. and Mrs. Fred Wagner left
yesterday for Asheville where they
will spend awhile before returning to
Detroit.

Offers Rare Treat in Wit and Charm
of Smooth-running Oratory. Fair
audience Captivated by Him.
Perhaps because his lecture was
“The Story of the South” and his hear
ers Southerners, Senator Tom Hef
lin f»pp (ring here in a lecture Thurs
day night proved a rare treat. But on
any subject before any reople it would
be hard to convince, folks hereabouts
that there are orators more captivat
ing, or joke-tellers more entertaining
than the prominent Alabaman. Shelby
rather expected something unusuaT
from Clyde-Iloey’s recommendation—
and Shelby received it. Other subjects
might have interested Shelby more
than the one Heflin told, but none
could have been more appropriate or
appealing than the one he told, as he
told it.
The Alabaman was guest during his
stay here at Cleveland Springs and
appeared before the Kiwahis club
there before giving his lecture in the
Central school auditorium. For a short
period during the afternoon he was
taken on tour about town and prov
ed himself a Southerner in the true
sense as well as on the lecture plat- •
form. Saying that Heflin is one eff the
best, if not the best orator to ever
appear here is a statement that should
carry much for the distinguished vis
itor as Shelby folks have oratory ga
lore on all occasions and oratory that
is itself a treat to outsiders. Nothing
but a ditto can be added to Tom
Best’s statement in saying “that the
way Heflin eclipses Billy Sunday is
a sin.”..
Ills jstory of the South lasted per
haps an hour and a half and was in
terwoven with a humor that would
have done great credit and won toany
encores for a star black-face come
dian. One moment Alabaman by his
superb oratory would lift his hearers
to the height of visionary imagination
as he painted with an artistic speech
the beauty of his South; the next, his
audience would bubble over with hu
mor that ran onto roars of laughter as
one joke followed close on the other.
The climax of charming description,
rolling beautiful phrases connected
only asa s upgrior speaker may do
came in his description of the South
in the Springtime. Man could not thrill
more to the world's most beautifm j
taunting of Spring’s immortal beauty
than t< Heflin’s verbal description.
The story he told of the South was
a wonderful one—enough to make any
Southerner thrill with pride. It tolds
the early, pioneering America; of what
the South has contributed to the
America of today, is contributing, and
will Contribute in the Coming years.
The first tea party, he said, was not
at Boston, but at Edenton, North Car
olina; the first blow of the revolution*
ary war was not at Lexington, but at
Alamance; the decisive battle was at
Kings Mountain, this county, and the
surrender at Yorktown, also in the
South. And then down through history
he related how Southern men and
Southern fortunes have been an inte
gral part of American history—
George Washington, Madison, Thomas
Jeffers n, Woodrow Wilson. Then
came the Civil war and the noble re
cord of Southern soldinrs, and the
strong bulwark of the matched w<W
manhood of the South in the homes
and through reconstruction. Reaching
the World war Senator Heflin again
touched the heights of human charm
as he told how the Americans held
against the charge of the Hun on
Baris; how the tide was turned and
victory came. Each direct, telling
statement of the South’s record was
followed by the reminder “that this
is only a part of your heritage and
mine.” That the South's history
should be written correctly as it was
made was his strongest urge and one
that met with the favor of his hear
ers.
In opening Senator Heflin paid tri
bute to Clyde Hoey, whom he knew
while Hoey was in congress, and of
\ ates Webb, who served before Hoey,
and of Max Gardner, who Heflin says
he believes from talk over the state
“will be forced to be your next gover-.
nor.”
Irresistible in producing mirth, un
equalled in the charm of pqre oratory'
that flows in undefiled Ehglish ana
with a Southern drawl it will be many
moons before Shelby will forgel Tom
Heflin, and years before they say of
another speaker “he’s as good as Hef
lin.” Speaking at Luniberton, the
home of Governor Angus McLean,
Heflin whispered that “we Democrats
may run your governor for President
in 1928”—and here in Shelby the sen
timent meets with accord with one
following “If not McLean, why nob
Heflin?”
