Twenty Million Dollar
Corporation To Locate

New Structure
Shelby was assured another

da\ when officials of Cleveland
Lodge No. 202 A. I'. & A. M.
closed a contract with the J. C.
Penney Company, whereby the
entire lower floor of the new
four-story Masonic Temple on
the Washington and Warren
street corner of the court square
will be leased to the big depart
ment store corporation for a
period of five years with privi
lege of leasing for another five
years. The definite signing of
the lease brings to the city the
biggest retail business enterprise
in several years and the decision
of the big chain store corpora
tion to locate here is a boost to
the rapid, hut steady growth of
the city.
The.J. C. Penney company is, by
their financial statement of 1924, a
twenty million dollar corporation and
operates five hundred and seventy-one
stores in all sections of America, being
one of the largest chain store enter
prises in the world. In recent years
the big corporation with headquarters
in New York has been branching out
in this state, mindful of the great pro
gressive movement of North Carolina,
and with their investigation of the
state, Shelby was one of the points se
lected for their stores.

Signing’ the lease were the trustees
of the Masonic lodge: Clyde R. Hoey.
J. I). Lineberger and J. F. Roberts,
together with C. S. Young, worship
ful master, and Russel G. Laughridge
secretary. Acting for the Penney com
pany here was their Southern legal
representative, A. B. Bernard, of
Southern Pines, who has been in Shel
by for some time in connection with
the lease. According to the wording of
the lease the lower floor of the hand
some structure will be taken over July
1 and holds good for five years, with
a five year privilege attached, and ft
is presumed that the store will be
ready to open its doors shortly after
the opening date of the lease, July 1,
Representatives of the company
have been investigating Shelby and the
business trend here for sometime, and
it has been generally believed for week
or more that they would locate here,
the site not being known. A careful
census of the business movement of
the town was made by the representa
tives and a chart explained the rating,
as they found it, of the entire busi
ness section of the town.
The big storeroom, which is f>0 feet
bv 100 feet, opens as a store front on
S. Washington street just at the court
square and facing at an angle the
square, while a door also opens on the
Fast Warren street side of the build
ing and opposite the postoffice. With
the lease of the lower business floor
the new temple will go into use, tile
three upper floors being used for lodge
and club rooms by the Masons and the
Woman’s club and other civic organi
zations.

Dry Weather Has Helped in Cleveland
And Percentage is Better. Pre
caution For Weevils.
Over Cleveland county the cotton
farmers of North Carolina’s second
cotton county are optimistic over their
cotton crop despite many bad stands
and drawbacks, for the extended dry
and warm weather has meant much to
the cotton even if it has been some
what of a handicap otherwise. Crop
prospects here are apparently equal
to those in any section of the state and
by the last report the state percent
age for the season of the year is
headed of that last year, when Clev
eland stepped into, second place with
over 40,000 bales.
That the cotton crops prospects in
North Carolina are exceptionally good |
this year is indicated in a report of
the crop reporting board of the Uni
ted States department of agriculture.
While slightly under the average giv
en for the whole cotton belt on May
25, the condition on that date this year
in the state is better than on the same
day last year.
The board announced that the con
dition of the crop as a whole was 76.6
per cent of a normal throughout the
belt. The figure.s for North Carolina
is given as 771 per cent, but on the
same date in 1024 it was 71 and the
preceding year 77. The ten-year aver
age in North Carolina was 76. The
figures for South Carolina is 71.
There has been an increased emer
gence of weevils in the southeast
that will have an adverse effect upon
the crop unless checked. The board
stated that the weevils are much more
in evidence in the eastern states than
they were last year at this time. They
have appeared in every county in
South Carolina and everywhere in
southern Georgia and Florida. The
board had title information concerning
the boll weevil possibilities in North
Carolina for it was a little too early
for definite statements, and all in
formation in the report was based on
developments the last of May,
Cotton men in close touch with the
situation in the Carolinas deflated
that the cotton growers of these states
made a grave error in failing to con
tinue the “burn up-clean up” cam
paign. with the same care as marked
the close of the cotton growing sen,
son in previous years. When it was
found that the boll weevil situation
last year was rather easier than there
tofore, these contT^ efforts were re
laxed, with the result probably that
! South Carolina, in any event, will have
a greater number of weevils in con
nection with the 1925 crop than might
Otherwise have been the case,
i Cotton growers of the Cal iff...!*
must not relax their efforts and hope
to get the best of the weevils, it was
declared by those men.
Start Sale Of New
Auto License Tags
The local branch of the Carolinaj
Motor club and state auto license hu-j
: reau began this week selling the new;
automobile license tags for 1925. The

i charge of Wade W. Hoey, opened Mon
day morning, and several hundred tags
have already been sold. Mr. Hoey ad
vises motorists in this section to come
in and buy their tags now’ so as to
avoid the rush later on in the month
when it will be necessary to stand
and wait in line to get the tags. Alt
applying for tags must have their
titles in order to secure the plates, and
it is announced that after this sale of
plates that any motorist without a ti
tle will be committing the same of
fense as running without a license
plate.
The new numbers for the Shelby
branch start at 182,500 and run up.

Marriages Lead
Divorces Here
By Big Number
According to the latest census
report there wer almost 17 times
as many marriages in Cleveland
county in 1923 as there were di
vorces. By the figures given out.
there were 236 marriages dur
ing the year and only 14 divorces
Gaston county had 422 marri
ages and 70 divorces, or only
six times as many marriages as
divorces. Rutherford had 226
marriages and 18 divorces; Ca
tawba had 314 marriages and 29
divorces; Lincoln 126 marriages
and four divorces. Cleveland and
Lincoln by the statistics have a
smaller per rentage of divorces
than the other counties in this
section. During the year Guil
ford led in marriages with 1,159
and Buncombe in divorces with
99.
The statistics further added
that the principal cause for di
voree in the state during the
year was adultery; ami a larger
percentage of women were guil
ty. Very few divorces were
granted because of cruelty.

TRAFFIC OFFICER
FOP SHELBY SOON
Hoard Will Select New Member of
Force. New Water System Dis
cussed by City Fathers.
At a called meeting of the board of
aldermen held Wednesday night in the.
City hall it was decided .that a traffic
officer, known to the motoring public
better as a “speed cop” will be added
to the city police force at an early
date. The selection of this officer Jias
not as yet been made, blit city officials
stated Thursday that several are be
ing considered and that the new offi
cer will be on duty within a few
weeks.
At the same meeting the members
of the police and fire department were
re-elected with B. O. Hamrick as chief
and Jim Hester and Marshal Moore as
patrolmen, and Roy Newman and Bob
bie Rudasill as firemen. No shift what
soever will be made in either depart,
merit with the addition of the traffic
officer, it is thought. •
New Water Plant.
The meeting of the city fathers was
more directly to consider plans for the
proposed new water system for Great:
er Shelby. A number of plans were
gone over and the board has from all
indications definitely decided that tho
city will have a better and more ade
quate water supply. In fact, the alder
men and city officials are of the opin
ion that the exact plans for the new
plant and sytsem will be ready by July
1 with installation and erection to be
contracted for by that time.
At the meeting it came out that the
proposed new system will have a ca
pacity of two million gallons daily so
as to have an adequate and sanitary
water supply at all times. With the
new system installed the board hopes
that it will he many years before any
water shortage will be experienced. It
was further hinted that there might
possibly be a change in location of the
water plant.

Collection By Women
During; the ^PainT-up and Clean-up''
campaign next ‘week tho Woman'?
club of Shelby will start a system
whereby they intend to collect and
sell all the discarded white paper; old
newspapers and magazines in Shelby.
The club through this system will not
only help in the general cleaning up
of Shelby, but members of the club
hope through the sale of waste paper
to make a nice sum of money for the
club treasury.
It is asked officially by the club that
all housewives of Shelby save thiHr
old newspapers and magazines, place
them in a waste basket or box or wrap
them up so that they may be collected
each Friday morning by the club. This
collection will be made regularly if
the papers are left where they may
be secured and should remove much of
the flying paper that now litters the
streets as well as help the club.

Of much interest in this sec.
tinn is the announcement by the
state highway commission In
Raleigh that that part of High

IS TALKED HERE
Circuit Will Include Shelby, Gaffney,

Bi-State'Amateurs.
The Warmer the June days get the
more enthusiastic local fans get about
baseball and indications now are that
within another week Shelby will be en
joying regularly scheduled games in
a four or six club circuit composed -of
North and South Carolina towns. A
general meeting was held in the Le
gion dub rooms here Wednesday ev
ening at which time preliminary plana
were gone over for the formation of
the circuit that will be a bi-state af
fair and will use only local or county
players. Another meeting will be held
this week at which time the league will
be formed and a schedule arranged,
according to “Lefty” Robinson and
“Shorty” Long,
It developed at the meeting Wed
nesday th it the circuit will more than
likely be composed of Shelby, Lincoln
ton, Gaffney and York. Since the talk
has started it seems that if several
other towns in the two states want in
and the league may be made up of six
dubs. Hickory, it is said, considers
entering. However, those sponsoring
the movement mean to investigate
each town entering so that there will
be no failure during the season that
would interfere with the schedule or;
arranirement
3 or 4 Gaines Weekly.
By the preliminary plans it is said
that three or four games will he play
ed each week with the idea at pres
ent of playing four if possible so that
each club may play at home two days
in the week. In regards to players it is
planned that each town use only na
tives of the county, rather those liv
ing in the county, and thus hold down
the expenses' of securing many outside
professionals. Local fans in discussing
the proposition say that there are 15
or 30 Cleveland county boys fast
enough for the circuit and that Shelby
should have a good outfit if the league
is formated.
However, complete plans will be
made at the other meeting to be held
this week and which will be attended
by representatives of each town in
terested.
