Blanked Clover in Exhibition (iatne Wednesday. The Shelby High baseball club, con sisting of 13 players, Coach “Casey’ Morris, Superintendent I. C.^riffin and a number of fans will leave early Friday morning for Chapel Hill, where the Western champions will on Satur. du> play the baseball champions of Eastei n Carolina for the state baseball title. Should Shelby win it will be the second straight year that the local club will have copped state honors, and losing it will be their second con secutive time to battle for the crown. Since the Shelby team won the cham pionship in 1U24 the fact that they are playing for it again Saturday will be a record for Western high schools. Coach Morris has no idea who will hurl the final game. “It may be Hoyle or Dedmon, or the whole business. 1 won t know until they warm up and not definitely until the game is over,’’ he says. And the statement is charac teristic of the manner in which he has handled a young team that surprised many by winning a championship. Shifts have been often and many, no player being certain of his position or in what capacity he would perform in the next game. Hoyle has been the standby on the mound and the 15-year old hurler has established some record in strike-outs, but Dedmon, a heavy hitting outfielder, has made good in his games on the mound, holding the I xjcs&iutr team uown ior me western title. In ease of a mishap Peeler can take up the twirling duties, or, for that matter any other member of the club for in their decided way of win ning it is hard to tell who is who. The probable line-up will be: Wil son, left field; Self, third base; Mag ness. center field: Capt. Beam, catch er; Dixon, second base; Grice, first base; Connor, shortstop; Harris, right field; Hoyle or Dednion, pitcher. If Dedmon is the mound selection Harris will perform in the outer garden, and if Hoyle does the hurling Dedmon will more than likely be used in the gar dens for his hitting. Easily Beat Clover. Playing here Wednesday afternoon in an exhibition game to keep in shape for their big contest the Highs easily defeated the Clover, S. C., Highs 8 to 0 in a game in which the hurling of Dedmon and Hoyle featured. Dedmon for five frames allowed the South Car olinians only one infield hit, while Hoyle working the remainder of the game gave up only one mor^. Shelby, secured 11 safeties in making their eight markers, Self, Magness, Beam and lledmon securing two each, while the others were garnered by Wilson, Dixon and Connor. On the defense, however, both clubs frequently bob bled and the game was far from at tractive in well balanced play, the weakness of the opposition causing the locals to be a bit careless in their handling of fielding plays. Shelby was credited with six errors and Clover with five. As a final game before the state contest Shelby met the fast club from the Blue Ridge school for Boys Thurs day. The prep schoolers present a fast aggregation and the locals may de rive a bit more baseball knowledge by the contest. WACO NEWS NOTES OF PEOPLE COMING AND GOING (Special to The Star.)

Under Edgerton Tours. If you arc planning a vacation for this summer why worry trying to de cide whether it will be the mountains or seashore? Wouldn’t a fine trip to Washington with boat rides on the historic Potomac sound as interesting? Does it not sound the more attractive when it is offered free? Such is your opportunity. On September 4 a party of Shelby and Cleveland county folks will leave on a big tour to the nation’s capital for three days stay there “seeing the sights.” Just how- many will be in the party is a matter of conjecture, rath er a matter of how many seize upon a big opportunity. For in a subscrip tion campaign to make The Star the South’s widest read semi-weekly the management of the paper is offering a free trip to Washington—with all expenses—to those who are willing to do a little bit of pleasant extra work between now and September 1. There is no race with anyone else, just a set amount of work and the wonderful free trip is your3. Is it not worth in quiring about? Quite a number have already start ' ed to work. They’re taking no chances and will have their vacation easily I “cinched” within a few weeks. One may make the trip by working only a few weeks before the first of Septem ber, but there’* no use of waiting— there’ll be no more work to do by starting now, and chances are that it will not be so ea-sy after a number of others have covered the field. It’s not the fellow who has the most opportun ities. Imagine what the trip will be worth. It be entertaining and restful with sights never seen before, but what of the educational value? The historic sights and scenes of present day events of international impor tance? See Big Celebration. The National Labor Day celebration will be held in the capital on Septem ber 7 and those on The Star's free trip will have opportunity of witnessing the ceremonies that heretofore have only been read about. Bit; labor lead ers, politicians and statesmen will be on the program. Prof. M. T. Edgcrton, of Greensboro and president of the Edgerton Touring agency, who will personally conduct the tour, says that the following points of interest will be visited: Cupitol, Lincoln Memorial. Wilson’s Tomb, Mil lionaire row, Diplomatic buildings, Congressional library, National Mu seum, Corcoran Art gallery, Executive Mansion, the White house. Bureau of engraving and printing, Pan-Ameri can building. Congressional Hall, Su preme court room, Washington monu ment, the tomb of Washington, boat trip up the Potomac, Mount Vernon Arlington, Lee’s mansion, etc. Many people fail to get the full ben efit of a trip to Washington because they have no one to point out and di rect them to the main points of inter est and explain their history or re cords. Those making The Star’s trip will fare better. The best guides and lecturers will bo secured, who will point out and describe historic places, public buildings, embassies and resi dences of famous folks. The Star’s guests after arriving in Washington will be taken on auto cars, electric trains and steamboat, viewing from comfortable, restful environments, grand boulevards, residences of great men, past and present, parks, monu ments and the legend-fringed Potomac and the twentieth century business section of Che great city of Washing ton. The Star pays the entire trip free. Railroad fare and Pullman to Wash ington and back. Hotel and all other expenses while there. Ask about it to day, or write.

Shelby School Plan Enlarged Seven Additional Rooms Provided and Site With More Ground Secured. Construction Work Starts. Construction work started yester day on the new South Shelby school building, after the building plans as adopted last fall had been awarded, but were modified, adding seven new class rooms at a cost of $12,000. Lutz and W’ebb were the successful bidders last Fall but because of the school ses sion now on and the recent extension in the corporate limits of the town, construction wofk wAs held in abey ance until now. For sometime the school board has been considering a new location arid this has been traded for by exchanging the present site for a new site of four acren to the rear cf the present school building*. To Cost $67,000. There being a fifteen per cent an nual increase in attendance in the pub lic schools and enough children already in the South Shelby district to fill the building as contracted for last fall, it was found the part of wisdom by the school board to add 7 rooms to the former plans, thus making 20 class rooms with office, library, large audi torium, domestic science and music rooms. The building together with site, heating and plumbing as contract ed for last fall would have cost approx imately $55,000 and the building would have covered almost the entire old site which is 150x300 feet. Former plans called for an average floor elevation of four feet above ground while the change to a new site would have made the average floor elevation seven feet above ground and of course add to the cost. The $12,000 additional to the former contract let to Lutz and Webb covers the difference in the elevation and nine additional rooms. Expect 2,400 Next Fall. Housing the school children in “Greater Shelby has become a problem with the school authorities. Last year there were 12 teachers in the South Shelby school and although the plans for the new building have been modi fied to include seven more rooms, it is felt that every class room will be filled within one or two years. Supt. I. C. Griffin expects an enroll ment in the white and colored schools of Shelby next fall of 2,400. Ellenboro Couple Married In Ford Mr. Ernest Carpenter of near El lenboro, son of Mr. T. G. Carpenter and Miss Madge Robbins, charming daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Rob bins of Ellenboro, R-3, were married here last Thursday afternoon in a Ford car near the court house by ’Squire John P. Beam, in his usual impressive manner, says the Rutherford Sun. Both the bride and groom are from two of the county’s leading families and their many friends extend eon jji ttuK'Ut'iu :«:ud feu vi-.t.e?. DISTRICT MEETING COOPS HELD HERE Mr. George Blanton May Bo District Director. IO. White, of Statesville, Elected District Chairman. Twelve delegates representing the ten counties in the tenth district of the N. C. Cooperative Cotton Associa tion met in canvention at the court house in Shelby on Tuesday. There was also a large attendance of the leading farmers from all the nearby counties present to lend their influence and to prove their interest in cooperative marketing. The convention was called to order by temporary chairman O. Forrest Me [Gill, local field representative, and nominations were in order for a per manent chairman of the convention. Mr. L. O. White, of Iredell county, was duly elected as chairman and Mr, Graham Morrison, of Lincoln, was elected secretary of the convention. The meeting was then thrown open for nominations for director from this district. Three men were placed be fore the bouse. Mr. Oscar Sherrill oi Catawba, Mr. Ed Thompson of Ruth erford, Mr. George Blanton of Cleve land. It was necessary by vote to eliminate one of these men since only two could be placed on the ballot. A vote was taken with the following re sults: Blanton 12 or a total of all th« votea of the delegates, Thompson 8 votes' and Sherrill 4, this left Blanton and Thompson on the ticket to be presented to the members of the As. sociation for their vote. Ballots will be prepared and mailed to each member who will vote for his choice and mail the ballot back to district headquar ters. Mr. George Blanton is well known throughout the state as one of the most successful farmers and business men to be found. He is operating a one thousand acre farm and is cultivating about 450 acres of cotton this year. He is also acting vice-president of the First National Bank of Shelby, a mem ber of the Shelby School Board and is | interested in several other successful enterprises. Mr. Ed Thompson, of Rutherford county is another very successful farmer and business man, he owns and i(pW»tw a 1;50O acres farm, about three hundred acres of which is in cul tivation. Mr. Thompson tends about 75 or 100 acres in cotton, besides this he is bank director, a rtierchant and is in the iumber business, up uitil a few months ago he owned and operated the Rutherford Cpunty Telephone Co. Mr. Oscar Sherrill from < Catawba county was eliminated in tne conVen^ lion but this by no means it a reflec tjon on him.. He is one ofj the most successful business-farmer in his county. He is a merchant, a ginner and a big farmer. With the nominees selected other business was taken up. The poll hold ing committee of three was elected, these are R. E. L. Freeman from Rutherford county, Franklin Harrill of Cleveland and L. A. Wolfe of Gas ton. These men will be in Shelby on June 9th to receive and count the votes as sent in by the members. A resolution was uuiuuuicu auu passed indorsing the management and employees of the association. The res olution was introduced by Mr. Frank lin Harrill and discussed at length by the delegates, it was made as strong as possible indorsing and reaffirming the faith in the sound policies of co operative marketing as carried out by the Board of Directors and the man agement. The resolution was the re sult of a letter read to the convention written by General Manager U B Bla lock in which he gave a review of the work done during the last three years. This letter showed that The North Carolina Association is considered the leader among the other State associa tions of the south. Plans for a giant district celebration to be held in Shelby during July or August were discussed and heartily in dorsed by the representatives from the other Counties. In commenting on such a celebration quite a number of real Co-op speeches were made by members themselves and a fine brand of ora, tory was shown. Among the leading farmers of the county who joined the Cotton Asso ciation during the last week were Mr. George Patterson of Patterson Springs Mr. J. D. Lee, Shelby, N. C. R-4, M. Brooks, Shelby R-5.

NEGRO IS SHOT BY BROTHER IN FREEDMAN John Crosby, 22-year-obl negro of I' reedman, Shelby colored suburb, Is in the Shelby public hospital in a seri ous condition as the result of being shot three times Tuesday evening by hu younger brother, Dewey Crosby, 1H years of age, Dewey, who is in jail says that the shooting was accidental, but from rumors heard officers still have some doubt about the matter enough to keep Dewey in jail until there is mine change in the condition of his brother at the hospital. ( rosby tells it that he was cleaning a .25 calibre automatic Tuesday ev ening when his brother John asked to see the gun and that in some manner it was discharged while being bunded to him. However, John was shot three times, once in the right hand, once In the right leg, and in his abdomen, the bullet piercing the large bowel in three places and the smaller one in two, and naturally the officers are inclined to wonder how the gun was discharged three times accidentally while being handed over. One report coming to the officers by hearsay was that one of the brothers had been abusing another younger brother and that an.argument had de veloped between the two over the mat ter, resulting in the shooting affair. What there is to the report remains to be seen. Dr. Harbison, staff surgeon at the hospital, says that Crosby remains conscious and that he seems to be get ting along very well, but that his con dition is still very serious. Noted Congressman Here Last Monday “Farmer Bob” Doughton^'-' one of North Carolina’s best known and pop ular representatives at Washington, was a Shelby visitor on Monday and Monday night of this week, being here on legal business in connection with a restraining order hearing before Fed eral Judge E Yates Webb. With Con gressman Doughton, who is president of the North Wilkesboro bank, were A. H. Casey, receiver for the manufac turing firm in question, and C. G. Gilreath, attorney for the firm. On the opposing side were Judge W. E. Brock, of Winston-Salem and C. V. Trevette, of W ilkesboro. Attorney C. R. Hoey appeared on the receivers side for Doughton with Attorney Gil reath and wron a verdict in having the matter go on through the state eourt, which was the subject of the contro versy, Judge Brock and the other re presentatives of the Partridge Fac tories company objecting. No Talk of Governor. Several months back it was rumored that “Farmer Bob”, the idol of the northern mountain section of the state, would be O. Max Gardner’s opponent for governor in 192g, but Doughton soon checked the rumor and there was nothing of political significance to his visit here this week. However, the big orchard owner known in congress as the “farmers’ friend” proved quite an attraction about town with his big broad-brimmed black hat, flashing teeth and tall form. Shelby Electric Company Organized New Corporation to Open Soon For Contracting and Sales of Electric Appliances in Shelby. The Shelby Electric company is the name of a new corporation which will open for business in one of the vacant store rooms of the Lineberger build ing on West Marion street between the 10th and 15th of June.

Memorial at David Chapel. There will be Memorial services at David chapel the filth Sunday of May. The sermon at 11 o’clock will be preached by Rev. R. B. Sigmon of Lexington, and talks by others Every. It tnly ;orcli:'llF i:.'ne'b I . ; a BOBBED HAIR AUTO BAIT IN COURT Young Woman Waives Examination And Goes Hack to Jail for Super ior Court Under Big Bond. The first entry of its kind was made on the blotter of the Cleveland county recorder’s court Tuesday when a young woman with bobbed huir, faced Re corder John P. Mull on the charge of stealing an automobile. Many and running the gauntlet of crime are the cases that have been disposed of in the past in the stately court building on the court square, but never before has a woman faced the bar of justice there for such an offense, or a similar serious one. In this day of ‘‘bobbed haired bandits” it merely keeps Cleve* land in step. The woman, Bonnie Sutton, agcj about 26 and the mother of two chil dren, was charged with the larceny of a big seven-passenger Buick taxi, the property of Zeb Costner, and taken by a trick from the driver, Plato Mc Swain, last March. Although officers say shjp had previously admitted tak ing the car along with a Ford that had been bought but never paid for the woman waived preliminary examina tion at the hearing and at the order of Judge Mull was remanded to the new jail where she will await a hear ing in the July term of Superior court, not having any means of securing the $2,600 bond named by the recorder. “There was no one in with me,” she is said to have told the officers when they made inquiries about the matter following what seems to be an un founded rumor about that there was something behind her possession of the two cars. “I just took it and I don’t know why”, she added with tears in her eyes. “I came up here to get it,” the officers say she said, “and I got it. Theer is no one else in on it. I suppose I deserve whatever I get, but I hope they will be light on me,” was the substance of her replies to officers who were questioning her with the hope that they might gain some clue wherev by other cars that have been stolen recently in Shelby might be located. The young mother, however, disclaim ed any knowledge of other cars ex cept those found in her possession when she was located at a tourist cani|> near Chatanooga, Tennessee, lasO week. Contrary to the general run qf “bobbed-haired” bandits that have been feature of crime news of late months the Sutton woman is not par ticularly handsome or well-dressed. £he is of the brunete type with black hair and because she says she had to leave Tennessee without time to get all of her clothes had to borrow some from other women in the jail so that she might come to-the court room. Her manner indicates that she is some what perturbed and concerned othsh what the courts will do with her and the future of her two young children, who are with her mother in Tennes see. Try Two Boys At the session of court Tuesday Raymon and Odell Grigg, who, were brought back from Knoxville by the offeers who went after the Sutton woman, were tried on liquor and gin ger charges. Odell was given a term of four months and Raymon sij? months. Thos. A. Edison Once Hunted Cobalt In Lincoln County Nineteen years ago this month Thomas A. Edison, the famous inven tor, was a visitor in Lincolnton. A Times representative in looking over an old North State Hotel register dis covered that under date of May 24, 1906 the following names appeared: Thomas A. Edison, Charles Edison, John Miller, Frederick Ott and M. Poppa, all from East Orange, N. J. The party spent several days in and around Lincolnton prospecting for cobalt, an important element in the manufacture of electric lights. One night was spent at the hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Reinhardt near Iron Station and one of the cherished possessions in the Reinhardt home today is a handsome phonograph sent to the family by Mr. Edison after his return to New Jersey.
