Diplomas were awarded to 70 grad uates, the largest number of gradual: a the Shelby High school has ever turned but, Monday night when the finals were held in the auditorium be fore an audience that packed every available inch of space. The gradu ates presented an unusual spectacle in Shelby for the college cap and gown were introduced for the first time and the graduating class was so large, the stage had barely enough room for the speakers to have com fortable -peaking space. Fourteen medals, cups and schol arships were awarded, as well as nine diplomas to the nine graduates of the teacher training class which was or ganized in Shelby about three years ago. Tom Bost Speaks. Tom Bost, known to some as The Reverend Tom who writes for the Greensboro News and other papers and has an inimitable stylo, was the chief speaker of the evening. Rever end Tom is a member of the Episcopal church but declares himself a Baptist preacher. Intermittent with his news paper work he preaches and speaks. He was introduced briefly by ex-Scn ator I). Z. Newton who declared Mr. Best's pulpit to be the public press and as one who has done much to ad vertise Shelby and who is one of the most astute politicians in North Caro lina, although he never seeks office. Mr. Bost asserted his faith in the young people of today and declared that although the signs of the times are a little discouraging, beneath tha lipstick and the flapperism there are hearts as sound as Adam’s and Eve’s He took for his text the class motto which in translation says “not finish ed but just beginning,” and that in making ourselves free from ignorance, we are not finished until we make all people free, for the object of life is education and the object of educa tion is life. His speech was a broad appeal for larger life—one that never stops with self, but goes on—the kind of life that diffuses into usefulness to others. It was a masterful appeal for never finishing and quitting, hut keep, ing on in pur efforts at mastery and Cultivating . the habit of control and temperate in all things, at the same time helping others over the rough places along life’s journey.

Stephen S. Holt, Smithfield attor ney was instantly killed Monday aft ernoon when Detective Jesse Wyatt, of the Raleigh police, fired on an auto. ! mobile that failed to stop at his order. I The shooting occurred three miles out on the Smithfield highway about ■1 o’clock. Wyatt who was accompan ied by Police Chief Winder Bryan, both in civilian clothes, suspected the car of carrying liquor, and as it pass ed he signalled for it to stop. When it failed to respond to his order he fired, the ball entered Holt’s head in the rear and ploughed through his brain. A jury empanelled by Coroner L. M. Waring ordered Wyatt held pending action by the grand jury. The officer previously had been allowed to go to his home after reporting at police headquarters, but after the verdict of; the coroner’s jury he was arrested j and confined. It was expected bond would he arranged. Been to Court. Mr. Holt had been in Raleigh ap pearing before federal court and was on his way home. He was riding on the back seat with J. Will Wright and .Joe Woodard, both of Smithfield, while Doc Woodard and A. H. Wood ard were on the front seat, A. H. Woodard driving. The car halted about three miles out while one member of the party went into some nearby woods. Wyatt and Chief Bryan, up the road some distance, saw' it stop and in a few minutes start off again. That accord ing to reports on the shooting, was the basis for the suspicion that it was carrying liquor. When the machine passed the officers the order to stop was given. The mep in the car insisted that they did not recognize any sign to stop nor did they particularly notice the officers on the side of the road as they were-not-dressed in uniforms. “Fired at Tire.” Detective Wyatt said he fired at a rear tire and suggested that the hall must huve struck the pavement in stead and glanced upward penetrating the rear curtain and striking Holt. An examination of the pavement revealed no evidence of an indentation such as a bullet might make. Smithfield per sons who afterwards visited the scene said. A search of the car disclosed no liquor and no member of the party had been drinking, it is said. Mr. Holt was 49 years of age and had been practicing law for many years in Smithfield. He leavei a wife, ■ three chilwdren and three step chil- j dren, besides brothers and sisters. Thomas R. Marshall Lays Aside Bible And Cigar and Dies War-Time Vice President Passes peacefully Away After Eating Breakfast in Washington. Washington, June 1.—Thomas Riley Marshall, vice president of the United States for eight momentous years ot its history, has followed his chief, Woodrow Wilson, into death. Recurrence of a heart attack, which sent him to his bed last Monday im mediately after a trip from Indiana, brought on the end unexpectedly to day, after reports had come from the sick room throughout the week that despite his 71 years he steadily was recovering from nervous exhaustion and a cold. Death came to him quietly in his room on the fourth floor of the New Willard hotel where he lived during his two terms as vice president. Prop ped up in bed with pillows after eat ing his breakfast with an enjoyment that strengthened the impression of those about him that he was regain ing his health, he was smoking a ci gar and reading a favorite passage ot the Bible. Passes Peacefully Away. Suddenly but without haste, while Mrs. Marshall was in an adjoining room, he laid the Bible face down ward, open where the fourth chap ter of the Gospel of St. Mark ends and the fifth begins. His ciggl- dropped, and he fell gently back, without speak ing and apparently without pain. The nurse, who had been at his side quickly summoned aid. But he was dead. Brief services, attended by the na tion’s highest officials, will be held late tomorrow in the hotel and then the body will be placed aboard a train for Indianapolis, where the funeral party expects to arrive at noon, W<*1 nesday. The funeral will be in his home there at 10 a. m. Thursday, un der the auspices of the Scottish Rite Masons, among whom he held high de gree. His body will be placid temporarily m a receiving vault at Crown Hill ctruyffe/y i.i ylid..'*.-i| oil.. it iittu Lt-ti TO IMPROVE WATER PLANT FIRST OF ALL City Fathers Re-elect Mr. and Mr*. Suttle and Water and Light Superintendent Toms. One of the first things to ■ receive the attention of the newly installed city fathers will be tlie water supply at the river. Just what will tie done to increase the supply and improve the quality has not yet been determined, but the officials feel that this is too most urgent matter. For some years the former officials have beet) giving their attention to the matter and during the past two years tire former fathers made improvements which sufficed for awhile. The former board received an estimate on modernizing the plant and installing a septic basin south of Shelby which was estimated to cost $1*7,000. To find put the best solution of the matter, Mayor Weath ers and Aldermen Hamrick, Toms, Hopper and Schenck and City Watei and Light Superintendent W. V. Toms, motored yesterday to Gastonia, Mount Holly and Charlotte to inspect the plants at those places. Approve City Map. Mayor Weathers yesterday called in the former board, Mayor Pro Tern Royster, Aldermen McClurd and Hamrick to pass upon the survey and map of greater Shelhy made by D. It. Frazier.- The former hoard gave Mr, Frazier the contract to make the sur vey and n ap so it was thought best to ask the former board to pass upon the work. The former board has been courteous in offering the new board any and every possible assistance in acquainting them with the work under way. The map and survey made by Engineer Frazier were approved and a number of extra copies will be print ed for distribution at a nominal cost. Original map is nearly 12 feet sq.iar« and shows all of the homes and public buildings and their numbers as well as the streets and names, fire hy drants, property owners, etc. Where the new and old corporate limits “cut'* property, the map- shows how mucti is located inside and bow much outside which is necessary to know for the purpose of taxation. Three Are Re-elected. At a meeting Monday night of the new council, Mrs. 0. M. Suttle was re elected city clerk and treasurer, 5JH Suttle v.qs re-elected to complete his work as tax lister, auditor and, collec tor and W. V'. Toms was re-elected superintendent of the water and light departments. Heads of the other , de partments will be elected at a latter meeting. , ; -... A Mr. Hoyle hag been .engaged to make an audit of the city’s books and fender a financial statement as is cus tomary every two years. It is under stood that Mr. Hoyle will begin this work about June 15th. 4,306 Car Loads Of Freight Received Since January 1st Still further evidence, if more evidence is needed, of Shelby’s increasing growth is offered by the ever-growing freight re ceipts at the local offices of the Seaboard and Southern railroads. The total number of cars handled since the first of the year, 4309, surpasses every corresponding five-months period in the history of the two roads. It is another significant fact that a large pro portion of these cars was matte up of brick, lime, cement, and other building materials, as well as large quanties of phosphate and fertilizers. The month of April led the pro cession, with a total of 985 cars, while March, with 977, followed closely on her heels. Then came . May, with 832 cars, February, with 763, and last of all, January, whose total of 752 rounded out the 4,309 cars. If progress de pends on transportation, then Shelby can certainly not be ac cused of standing still. Central Methodist Church. Sunday school at 9:45 a. m. The at-* tendance last Sunday was fine.

Ponder, Barrett Confesses To Attempt To Dynamite Patterson Home In South Shelby—Chief Unravels Mystery Chief R. (•. Hamrick executed a fine piece of detective work when . he unravelled the my tcry surrounding the attempt to dynamite the home of Lern Patterson, overseer in" the Ella i Mill in South Shelby and a> a result, Allen Barrett, a painter has been lodged in jail pending a hearing be fore Judge Mull on one of the most serious charges known to criminal j law. It is the first known attempt to dynamite a home in Cleveland coun ! ‘y Last Saturday night a man named Ed Bolick going home late at night saw a small flame burning under the corner of Lent Patterson’s house. With no thought of the serious con sequence, Mr. Ro n k went to the flame and blew it out without disturbing anyone or making any alarm. He proceeded home. Next morning when he' saw Lem Patterson fee informed him of seeing the candle flame under the house. Both made an investiga tion of the Scone of the flame and found there a cigar box. filled with rags, paper and a blue-bordered wo man's handkerchief saturated with ail. Standing in the box was a pink eancjle stick which had been burning until Mr. Bolick blew out the flame the night before. The cigar box was carefully placed under the bed room, directly under the bed where Mr. Patterson and hi.-, wife sleep and had the dynamite exploded, both would in all probability have been killed, Worked On Clues. When Chief Hamrick took charge of the case, he examined the contents of the cigar box. The cigar box had contained “Skill” cigars put up by the Rex Cigar Co, of Shelby. In th<' yard of Allen Barrett be found the lid of the cigar box. The ragged edges of the hinged side of the lid. matched the ranged edges of the hinge side of the box. Then he went to Mrs. Barrett and held the blue bordered handkerchief before her and asked her if it was her. She admit ted that it was and that she missed it from the clothes line where it had been hong after washing the day be fore. Then Chief Hamrick displayed the pink candle and factory cloth wh.eh came out of the box and ask ed her if she had anything in the house like them or if they belonged to her. She admitted that the candles were bought at Wool worth's Satui- : day and she had a duplicate of th - one found on her mantle piece and samples of the same kind of cloth in the closet. Apparently Mrs. Barrett was hot aware of the fact that the information she was giving the Chief was incriminating her husband, but when chief had his evidence fastened on Barrett site broke down and cried. Chief hurriedly arrested him. En route to jail he showed Barrett his findings and disclosed the evidence he had against him as the guilty par ty. Whereupon Barrett admitted that he had placed the dynamite under the house but laughingly said it would not have done any damage, lie gave as his reason for attempting the ex plosion that Patterson had been too intimate with his wife. The hearing will be granted today. Such an ofiense is a felony ami pun ishable by. not less than five nor more than 30 years in the penitentiary. Three High Point Boys Are Arrested Three High Point youths who gave, their names as Judson Wood, Vernon Priest and Thurman Camp, aged 13 and 14 years, were placed under arrest at Boiling Springs this week and will no doubt be sent back to their- parents. The boys engaged in a fight among themselves at -Boiling Springs when they were arrested. In their posses, sion were found a number of pipes, knives and other small trinkets. They claim to have been in school at High Point and were roaming around ove> the country for a little experience. Welfare Officer J. B.

Belwood Election For School July 13 Consolidation I’ian Changed as to Xo. 5 Township Schools. Beulah, Waco and Beams to Vote. An election was granted'last week on the question of a levy of a 50c school tax to build a high school build ing sufficient to accommodate the fol lowing districts: Belwood, St. Peters, Ledfords, Mulls, Pleasant Hill, and a portion of the Richards school district. This election is to he held July 13th, and a copy of the order may be found in this issue of The Star. A meeting was hold in the court house auditorium relating to a modifi cation of the county-wide eonsolida-. tion plan affecting the schools of Xo. 5 township, to wit: Marys Grove, Waco, fleam, St. Paul and Stubbs. This meeting was well attended by in terested patrons and committeemen from each district, and each district presented a petition asking that their schools be retained as they now are. The board, in executive session, voted to modify the plan su as to permit an election involving the bounds of Beu lah, Waco, and Beam. An election in the entire territory will not be undertaken at this time in that there does not seem to be suff cient sentiment to warrant the under taking. The election is called tor these three districts only because of the almost totally inadequate educational facilities in Beam school district onto years ago ceased to function as a school because ol its failure to main tain tne average daily uttendan or j i.it^.e.1 iluwth. 'iv^uires, SCHOOL n PUCE . TO PLIJ ID STRUT Max Gardner Gives Healthy Advice to Graduates. Advises Them Not to Go to Dance, Play and Strut. “Colleges are created and supported primarily to train men to serve and not to strut.” declared Hon. O. Max Gardner, of Shelby, in a commence* merit address Monday night before tiie Rockingham high school. ‘There are too many young people,” said Mr. Gardner, “who look up< > a college campus as a plnygro d for social demonstrations. Polish is brilliant, play is necessary and culture essential I.v refining. It is good to possess these qualities, but they should be the adorn meat of substantial character and the basis of real'achievement. "It is my deliberate judgment, youngman, young girl, that it would be infinitely wiser for you never to touch r. college campus if the motive power of your desire finds its im pulse solely in shimmering social as pirations. Better—so much better— that you go to work in the morning at the first honest labor you can find, and for which you have a natural ap titude, than to mess up your life with misconceptions of college. There should be no room for a loafer in a North Carolina college. "The biggest problems with college authorities today is the increasing number of students who are making no serious effort in the pursuit ot knowledge, and whse thinking is en tirely in terms of having one grand good time all the time. “Do not misunderstand me. Thero is nothing on earth equal to the thirst of a sincere hoy or girl for knowledge and we should sraypathetically en courage such person to make all sac rifice necessary to the accomplish ment c>i this end. We must everlast ingly see to it in North Carolina that no worthy hoy or girl is denied ample opportunities for college training. But remember, you can do your parents no greater injustice, you can cheat your state no more deliberately, than to en ter college without a consecrated pur pose of serious application and heart felt devotion to your work. “Fortunate indeed is the boy who discovers himself early and finds out what his job in life is, and then goes after it, learns it and masters it. lie is the raw material colleges are look ing for, and out of which are made the world’s leaders in thought and ac tion. '"he most tragic figure in the state is the college graduate this Juno who ,has aimlessly staggered through the curriculum without specific pre paration or deinite plan, who has noth ing to offer a busy and demanding world except bjg-legged breeches and an increased ability to Spend the ojd man’s money.’’ ' B.
