■IMS REQUEST Off UEHH
10 HI OF FICIflL CEHSUS TAKEN
Want Official Census By Feder
al Government. Also Ask
Building And Zoning Law.
Favor Half Holiday.
At the meeting of the Shelby Ki
wanis club held last week the club
unanimously went on record as fa
voring a Federal census for Shelby
and as a result of the move a com
mittee was appointed by the club to
take the matter up with the city aider
men and request the city officially #o
have the Federal government take- a
count of the people now living in
Greater Shelby.
The subject was brought up before
the club by Hon. O. Max Gardner who
related a number of ways in which
an official census would greatly bene
fit the city generally, and Mr. Gard
ner with Mr. William Lineberger will
appear before the board at the next
meeting to make the request, which
apparently is the desire of the entire
city generally. Soon after extension
of the limits a new census was talk
ed and upon investigation it was found
tout the Federal government weuld
make a census but at a cost to the
city. With this information the mat
ter was dropped for sometime al
though it has been talked generally
over the town and the majority of
the citizenship seems to favor the.
move, there having been many inquir- ]
i.es, some relating to big business, i
since the extension regarding the j
population of the town and how it I
ranks with others of the state. Prac- j
tieally every town or city of ^ry size
in the state, rather those that have
made considerable progress in recent'
years, have had a census taken and i
from a business view it would be a !
fine move for Shelby, is the trend of j
opinion about town. In discussing the
matter Mr. ’Gardner stated that it
would be better to have tiie c msus
taken by the Federal government so !
that .t would be officially recognized j
by big business, insurance companies
and others with whom population
rates high.
r avor Half Holiday.
At the same meeting the club en
dorsed the movement for a half holi
day in the business houses of the
■town and a committee composed of
Messrs, Paul Webb and J. -J. Latti
more was appointed to take the mat
ter up with the business men of town.
The idea is to give employees and
employers one afternoon off each
week during the hot summer months
and Tuesday the committee Will make
a canvasS of the town to see how
many of the business houses favor
the move. Indications are that the
half holiday will be given, according
to an investigation made today.
Want Building Laws.
Hie Kiwanians furthered their
legislative session by making another
request of the city aldermen, one that
was given the unanimous voce of the
dub. A request will be made to the
aldermen to delegate the city attorney
to draw up a code and zoning sys
tem to regulate properly the build
ing program of the city and to have a
building commissioner to supervise
this very important work. Practically
e'e*J town and city of any size in
the state has such regulations and
'mh the rapid growth of Shelby it is
< eemed that such a system is now im
perative for the town. With this re
<iuesi another will be made, that of
alottmg a certain space to be used as
a Playground for the children of the
‘ '.I.*/ Ihe c^ul} through a committee
■ also ask the city to better the
fctieet conditions leading to the ceme
tery- 11 was reported to the club that
access to the cemetery now is none
to easy and that something should b >
done immediately about the matter.
Dur.ng the program, Dr. J. Sibley
Norton, wrho is a member of the pn -
KramL committee, took many of the
members to task for their lack of co
operation and failure to function as
;,,ey sh,ould ^ the club. A shot was
a -’O taken at the acting committees
the club and hereaftei at least one
committee will be required to report
at each meeting.

Find Stolen Goods
In Shelby House
Ernest Harris Arrested and Walter
Henry Being .Sought in Connec
tion With Entering Stores.
Last Friday Deputy Sheriff Mike II.
Austell and Chief Irvin Allen, of'
Kings Mountain made a vsiit to the
home of Walter Henry in South Shel
by, where they found a quantity of
goods said to have come from the
stores of S. B. Hubbard at Earl and
Clifford Carpenter of Waco, both
stores being entered some time ago,
Henry was warned, it is said, that
officers were at his home and made
his get away, but Harris, in whose
car some of the goods were found, was
arrested and placed in jail. Harris will
likely be given a hearing Friday o'
this week.
In the Henry home, officers say,]
cloth, lace, shoes, tobacco, coffee,
lard and other things were found hid
den in the atic and other places about
the house, while other articles were I
found in (Harris’ car, according to j
them. It was through Harris, the of- j
ficers say, that the stolen goods were !
traced, he having sold some of tho ]
goods at Kings Mountain according to j
the charges.
Harris was brought up for trial
Monday morning, but his attorney
asked a postponement until Friday and
the case will be heard at that time it
is thought. In the meantime officers
are keeping a lookout for Henry.
Preliminary Hearing
Of Shooting Affray
Jack Jeffries Bound Over to Court fo:
Shooting Ambrose .Moses Near
Patterson Springs.
In a preliminary hearing before
Recorder John P. Mull Monday morn,
mg Jack Jeffries, colored youth o’
near Patterson Springs, was bound j
over to Superior court under a $200
bond as a result of a shooting affair
near Patterson Springs one night sev.
eral weeks ago, when Ambrose Moses,
another negro boy, was shot in the
stomach with a .22 calibre pistol. Jeff
ries was charged with intent to kill,
hut placed his defense on an accidental
basis, although no evidence was of
fered by the defense.
According to the evidence by the
state Moses was standing in the doon
of a negro home when Jeffries drove
up, got out of his car, walked up ou
the porch and shot, stating a moment
later that he did not intend to do it.
The wounded negro was brought to the
hospital by Jeffries, who seemed
grieved over the affair. Moses on trio
stand stated that he was in hospital
13 days, that the bullet which pune-<
tured his intestines was still in his
back and that it had made him only a
little sick. Jeffries, who was repre
sented by O. Max Gardner, did not
take the stand and all of the witness
es testified that there was no argu
ment, while Moses stated that he and
Jeffries had been friends for three
years and were not mad at each oth
er. The case was carried to the grand
jury, according to Judge Mull, so that
there might he an investigaton of how
the so-called accidental shot was fired.

Big Gain In Postal
Receipts Reflects
Growth Of City j
The receipts at the Shelby post
office since the first month of
1925 show a gain over those over ;
last year, according to a state- !
merit issued by Postmaster J. H.
Quinn. There was an increase of
14 1-2 per cent in April this year
over April, 1924, and a 15 1-2 per
cent, increase in May over May,
1924. And front indications so far
in June this month will exceed
June of last year in postal re
ceipts by even a larger percent
age.
A steady increase in postal re-'
ceipts is one of the surest meth
ods of determining the growTh of
a town and Postmaster Quinn re
marks in his statement that “if
the business of a post office is any
index as to the progress of a
town, then Shelby must really be
progressing.” And so it is. j

1,000 Children Examined by Mi>,
Irma Bow man Durine Year.
Over Half Found Defective.
During the school year from Sep- j
(ember 1924 to ■-Ir.no 192.' there .'.have-!
been 1,000 children ejiamimd; n{' this ‘
number 825 or 51 p«r cent were found {
defective. 459 or •!!* n- r cent of these ■
lave received treat nu-nt. according t,-,
the annual report of Mi Irina Bow- j
man, city school nur-e.
A> stated above there were 82'T do.
fective children, and we found 1121,,
defects iii the 826 , children, showing I
that many, of them children have two j
r more defects, while sc me have as
many as four.
Defective eyes 28i5; of this number
C-'l or 22 per cent haw- been treated..
Defective ears 48; of this number 0
<-r 12 per cent have been treated.
Defective nose end throat 295; of I
this number 32 o: 10 per cent have;
been treated.
Defective teeth 44,4; of ;hi« number i
252 or 50 per cent have been treated.
Defective - kin and scalp 25; of this
number 100 per cent have been
treated.
Miscellaneous defects ,27; 'of this
number 100 per cent have been treat
ed.
Many have promised to have treat
ment done (luring summer vacation
During May all pupils in grades t
to 8 inclusive were weighed and mea -
sured; at which time 28 per cent were
found underweight. Although this is
still a high per centage yet it is en
couraging over 31 p. e., at same tine,
last year. Talks were made in all
grades on the importance of finding
the cause for under-weight and treat
ment of same. Notice was sent to par
ents <|f all under-weight children.
All of the conditions mentioned
above are serious, Although 51 pei
cent of the defectives have been treat
ed, and this is considered good re
sult bv public health workers, there
are yet almost half of Shelby's chil
dren who heed treatment. Parents
are urged to consider this seriously,.
and if your child is among the num
ber of defectives—which means al
most invariably below the average
mentally, for the interdependence
makes it impossible for your child to
do his best mentally when the physi
cal is not what it should be. Do not
neglect your child.
During the school year the nurse
has visited the homes of 443 children,
and has made 89 other visits. Total1
No. of home visits being 532.
Last fall one week whs , spent at
Cleveland county Fair (health booth)
at which time hundreds of copies of
valuable health literature was dis
tributed and hundreds of people
weighed and measured—all under
weight children were given a card I
showing the number of pounds under
weight.
Talks have been given in all grade# j
1-8 inclusive on: The Proper use of
Drinking Fountains; Danger of Com
mon drinking Cups and Dippers; The
Care of Hair, Health and Hygiene,
Contagious Diseases and How to Pro- |
vent their Spread; Flies—Danger and
Means of Prevention, and other health 1
subjects. Handkerchief drills have
been conducted. Toothbrush drills and
four dozen tooth brushes have been j
sold in the schorls.
The arms of all pupils grades 1 to 8
inclusive inspected (Small-pox vac- j
cination). Assisted in the vaccination
of 17ti children.
All pupils grades 1 to 8 inspected
for skin diseases. Result very satisfae- j
u>ry.
Considerable welfare work has been,
done by the nurse during school year !
of which not strict.record tras irmrl
kept—-such as—-securing help for the j
needy and sick. Instructions given as
to care of sick. Several cases of ad- j
vanced tuberculosis visited and in-i
strutted. Instruction given as to care
of infants and children. Diets, etc.
The work is in its infancy here but
the public in general and some in par
ticular are shewing more interest, and
we can see much in the future. Co
operation is a big word and the real
meaning of it is—might. It is only
through the help of many that the
work lias been a success so far and
that much good has been accomplish
ed. The nurse wishes to thank each
one who has assisted in -any way to
carry forward the movement of pub
lic health.
In another section of the paper is

the nurse to parents of under-weight
children.

Decision By Judge
Webb Is Confirmed
There has just been received in
Shelby the printed opinion of the U.
S. Circuit court of appeals affirming
the decision by Judge E. Y. Webb in
the case of \Y. S. Whiting, bankrupt,
vs. Mark Squires, trustee in bank
ruptcy < f W. S. Whiting, bankrupt.
In this case the bankrupt, in ordet
to get more than the $500 personal
property exemption allowed by law,
took out ten life insurance policies,
whose cash surrender value was SIS,
000. He made these policies payable
to his wife, hut reserved the right to
change the beneficiary whenever he
wanted 'to. Judge Webb held that the
bankrupt, as soon as freed front all
debts by the bankruptcy court, could
collect the SIS,OOO and thus become "a
rich bankrupt,” while his creditors col
lected nothing.
The circuit court of appeals at Rich
morn) has affirmed Judge Webb’s de
cision, in a learned opinion written by
Senior Circuit Judge Woods, and the
$18,000 will be divided among the
creditors.

(From Houston Post-Dispatch)
How is it that Northern city peo

Tiuirsdav Night Crowds Rivalled Cir
cus Crowds Of Old As Robed
Mi ns torn Marched.
Cirrus crowds of old, even back in
the day- when a circus was more of
a rarity than now, were rivalled by a
the vast throng that assembled in
uptown Shelby last Thursday night
for a scenic parade hy some two hun
dred white rohed members of the Ku
Klux K!an. It was Shelby’s largest
uptown crowd in several years, did
timer ay, and was unusual in many
aspects. Estimates number those who
looked on between 8,500 and 5,000,
there being very little standing or
parking pace in the business sec
tion while the parade was on or dur
ing the hour the crowds waited until
it began.
Local papers carried an announce
ment of the parade early in the week
and hii.ndbi.Ua were distributed, but
none apparently expected the huge
crowd that gathered for the first
robed parade Shelby has witnessed
Mice the trying days immediately fol
lowing the Civil War when the old
Klan, made ini mortal by Thomas
Dixon, reigned. In some manner word
i is ciliated about town that the parade
would start at the ball park and an
hour before the parade, which took
place about 9 o'clock, all eyes center
ed in that direction. The parade as it
wound its way up from the ball park
was headed by an automobile over
wh:- tv. flared the fiery cross and in
cgle file behind the car silently
marched approximately 20b robed and
hooded. The route of the parade.was
up Marion street and around the
square and down Washington street
to the College Inn, where it turned,
came back up LaFayotte street to the
I' .rst National, on up to the next cor
ner and back to the hall park. Each
side of the streets along where the
parade passed was packed with people
in cars, on cars, standing and scramb
ling for space to see the unusual
sight.
Following the parade the crowd
dispersed rapidly and the streets were
back to normal within 30 minutes the
huge crowds, some of which was as
sembled oh the court square before
t wilight so as to gain a vantage point
from which to witness the spectacle.
Alter the parade there was an ad
dress in the court house by a promi
nent Klan lecturer, which was at
tended by many.
There was no disorder during the
event further than thq scramble to see
the silent, white, procession- and the
entire affair passed off without the
least disturbance. It is thought that
many of the Klaus men were from
I nearby towns and cities as there
were a large number of strangers in
town and some of the klansmen un
known to local people were on the
streets without their hoods sometime
before the parade. Reports have it
that in the parade with the members
of the Shelby Klan were visiting
Klansmen from Marion, Gaffney,
Cherryville, Ellenboro and Forest
City.
The scene as the rays of the fiery
cross cast shadows across the court
square under the trees reminded many
of the big scene in Tom Dixon’s ‘Black
Hood,, where a parade was pictured
around the same square years ago.
New Court House
For Rutherford
Proposed Structure Will Cost 8250,
000 and Will be Modern in
Every Essential.
Rutherfordton, June 18.—The county
commissioners decided last week to
build a new modern courthouse for
Rutherford county to cost around
$2o0,000. It will be erected on the
same site as the present building:. The
old building will be torn down. It wilt
be sold at publie auction June 29.
Bonds will be sold to erect the new
temple of justice.
The new building will be much
larger than the present one and will
be more substantial. It will be modern
in every respect. It has been well
known for some time that the old
building will have to be enlarged and
remodeled or a new one erected. After
efu* consideration, it has been ile,
tided to tear down the old one and
erect a new structure at an early date.
The contract will be let soon. Tho
county offices, records, court, etc., will
secure quarters in town while the ne v
house is being erected.
The county has outgrown the nres»
eat building many years ago. It is too.
small and the walls are dangerous, es
pecially in time of a heavy wind. The
grand juries for the past two or three
years, also judges have recommend
ed that something be done to improve
the court house. ,
