FRIDAY, JULY 3, 1923. $2.00 A YEAR IN ADVANCE Known Then As Wilson Springs And Rates Quoted For “Man And Horse.” Mrs. ,T. P. Caldwell, of the Char lotte Observer staff, who has been spending sometime at Cleveland Springs, Shelby modern and popular resort hotel, uncovers some very in teresting historyo f the resort in her column. The article, which tells of Cleveland Srings 75 years ago when it was known as Wilson Springs, fol lows: Cleveland Springs has not always been known by this name. The place was originally, and for many years, known as Wilson Springs, be longing to a family of Wilsons who possibly owned more land than any other one family in Cleveland coun ty, the center jewel of which being the land on which the wonderful spring, the age of which no man knoweth, it being centuries old, and which . has been a health-giving stream to thousands and thousands of people. When the Wilson dynasty passeo out the remnant that remained took the registers containing names of guests at the springs with them. Lee Weathers, editor and owner of The Cleveland Star, one of the best papers of western North Caro, lina, recently came into possession o? one of these registers which he kind ly allowed the O. M. to look over. On the fly leaf is written: “At Wilsons Springs, November, 1850,’* with all the flourishes of the writ ing of that day.

H’_ ___ - - Fine Farming Of Upper Cleveland The Observer has a suspicion that it has found out where all that cotton which has given Clev eland county second rank in the state comes from. It is from what is known as “upper Cleveland". Cleveland, like Iredell, is a “long” county, but it is broad on the south where Iredell is broad orf the north. The South Mountain runs across its northern border like a fence and it i. under shad ow of this mountain that the fin est crops of corn, wheat and cot ton in the county are raised. It a grass and a dairy section also and that means it is thickly popu lated. There are handsome farms every half-mile or so, great barns and sometimes two automobiles to the house. The cotton field there are in advance of the fields in any other part of the state. The plants are knee high .thickly set and fn the finest of growing con dition. And the fields are not patches. They spread out over largo areas and the soil ranges from rich sandy loam to red clay, the land being kept in perfect condition of pulverization. Upper Cleveland puts into evidence ev ery day in the year an example of the best agriculture in North Carolina.—The Charlotte Obser ver. Another Week of Grace is Allowed. Between 3,500 and 4,000 Tags Issued up to July 1st. Wade W. Hoey in charge of the state automobile license bureau at the Eskridge garage has handled as mucn money as an ordinary bank during the past two weeks. He had issued be tween 3,500 and 4,000 automobile licenses up to July 1st and still the crowds come. A long waiting line stands from 9 o'clock each morning until 5 o’clock in the afternoon. As fast Mi\ Hoey and Broadua New man can wait on the autoists and they pass out, others come to take their places and the line never shortens ex .spt for brief periods. All autoists should have been served by July 1st, but this was impossible because there are so many motor vehicles running in the state. It has been necessary to extend the time a week longer and it may be that the “cop” will pass you up with an pld license plate until the 15th of July but after that time, no excuse will be taken. \ ' One Firm Pays $357. It is estimated that the state col lects $75,000 from the license of mo tor vehicles in Cleveland county this year. This is a conservative estimate1 for there are nearly 4,500 motor ve hicles in the county and the cost of the license plates will average $15. The Carolina Fruit and Produce com pany which operates a fleet of heavy trucks cn which the tariff of license plates is heavy, turned over $357 to the state this week. All of the whole sale houses and gasoline distributing station which operate a number of heavy trucks contributed liberally to the state’s splendid system of good roads. The number of license plates issued from the Shelby bureau does not give the correct number of motor vehicles in Cleveland county as this bureau will issue license to any owner of a motor vehicle regardless of where he lives just so the proper application blank and certificate of title is pre sented. Furthermore, quite a few own ers get their supply direct from the secretary of state’s office, Raleigh, so when the smoke of battle clears away and the hurry to contribute to the state’s system of highway is over, the exact number of motor vehicles in Cleveland will be learned. The color of the auto license plates year shows an orange background with black letters. Only one plate'is issued and that is carried op the rear of the car as heretofore. Gilmer’s Begin Big July Clearance Sale Gilmer’s departments store begins today its annual July clearance sale and a two page advertisement her alds the attractive prices that have been made on merchandise to get ready for the arrival of fall mer chandise which will soon be coming in. Manager Wootton makes the July clearance sale a “hummer” and he expects this one to exceed any pre vious summer sale. Since the re-ar rangement of the departments, there has been a noticeable increase in bu siness, the r^ady-to-wear department being one of the largest in this sec tion of the state. The double page ad vertisement calls attention to the ex tremely low prices *hat will prevail and our reader- "ill do well e.id FIRST LEAGUE GAME IN SHELBY JULY 9 | Newton Enters And Four Clubs Start Season Next Week. Lincolnton Plays Here First. i With the entrance of a Newton club | into the proposed four-club tri-coun ty circuit a schedule has been made i out and Shelby's first game wjn be with Lincolnton here next Thursday. On the day before Granite Falls opens the season at Newton. According to the schedule two frames will be played each week, each club playing one game at home and one away, alternating Saturdays. I The mid-week games in Shelby will I be played on Thursday as the ufter j noon will be observed as a half holi day by the business houses; Granite Falls will also play her mid-week games at home on Thursday, while Newton’s half day closing is Wednes day and Lincolnton's Tuesday. The schedule, which will continue through July and August calls for sixteen games for each club. By the schedule Shelby plays Lincolnton six games and Granite Falls and Newton five each. “Lefty” Robinson, who is in charge of the organization of the local club, has not definitely announced as yet the line-up that will represent Shelby. However, a club, he says, that will cope with the three other clubs is bo i ing organized and will be ready to take the field against Lincolnton in the opening game here next Thursday. In ail likelihood the local outfit will be made up of local semi-pros, ama teurs and college layers, and as each town is confined in securing players to county boys it is thought that Shelby has as good material to select from as any of the others. The tentative schedule, which in all likelihood will be changed as the play ing season shows need, is as follows: Schedule. Wednesday, July 8—Granite Falls at. Newton. Thursday, July 9—Lincolton at Shelby. Saturday, July 11—Shelby at Gran ite Falls. Saturday, July 11—-Newton at Lin colnton. Tuesday, July 14—Newton at Granite Falls.

I South Mountain Research Foundation Proceeds With Explorations to Prove Mountain Was Seat Of Earth’s Earliest Civilization. • Rutherford College, Burke county, .June 30.—The South Mountain archae ological research foundation received an unexpected impulse today when Mies Fuss Ervin, a noted amateur student of science, offered to finance the expedition to the full of her re sources. Miss Ervin has turned over to the Observer's correspondent, who is acting as temporary treasurer of the fund, all her earnings from the sale of her Doc Cook oil stock, and the initial troubles of the research party ! are najv over. i he explorers (tf South Mountain as the probable seat of the earth's earliest civilization and the original location of the Garden of Eden arc now determined to demonstrate their scientific claim. The original party consisted of the well-known mountain scout, Harley Goode, and Mr. Eufcert P. i Rutherford as practical investiga tros and excavators, with Arthur Tal niadge Aberneth.v as the official mouth organist of the foundation, has been augmented by two additional recruits, who request that their names be omitted for the present from the press accounts, but who have volun teered to serve as expert blasters, if the reasearchers decide tp delve below the Jaountain surface any great depths. From indications tonight, as given your correspondent by the spokesman of the mountain scientists, this course will in all probability be undertaken as already casuhl spading has unearthed several tablets bear ing hieroglyphics which may alter tho now universally accepted opinion as to the origin of the human race. In scraping ground for a suitable loca tion for his motion picture appara tus Mr .Rutherford struck his pick in to a hard, unusual stone, which, when brought to the surface, revealed what may be portions of a long buried, al most prehistoric Carnegie library. The stone bears portions of what was evidently n biography of Moses, and from the moss on the tablet was dis covered, its age is approximated as be ing about 3,400 years. The recentness of this writing, which is in uncials of that period, gives a new insight into the influences which may have caus ed Moses to write the first chapter of Genesis, and if this is scientifically established, the Scopes case may be reprieved until further investigation of the lower strata of the South Mountain basis. Part of the tablet is somewhat worn away, and has the appearance of having: been used in some prehistor ic money’s family for a scroubbing board; but when it was thoroughly ■ cleaned off with a chemical prepara tion kindly tendered the research party by a local moonshiner, it was translated from the original Koptic by Woods Myers, of the party, and reads as follows: “The early effect of the launctiti^f of the child Moses on the river is sig nificant. The constituent- elements employed in making the basket in which he floated were ‘slime and pitch.’ According to Starbo and Diod orus, this ‘pitch’ was the chief ma terial used by the Egyptians in em balming their dead. Thus the first impression on the impressionable child’s mind would have been that he was dead and not aware of the fact. The finding of the above tablet has whetted the zeal of the research party to go further, in the belief that they will locate other and even more im portant revelations on the history of that age. As the digging proceeds the Ob server correspondent will keep the readers duly informed. If, as has now ' -i fii ■'(*• t r rlicr .’H M* * 'h i -- - . . thoroughly discredited because of j corns and dyspepsia, his account 61 the location of the Garden of Eden in Asia may be discounted by later discoveries, and South Mountain thor oughly established as the original source of the human race. One or the reasearch party remarked after eat ing dinner with one of the mountain eers that he noted many striking sim ilarities in the table' manners of the mountaineers and man of the pre spoon period.

In recorder’s court Wednesday morning 0. Max Gardner and P. Cleveland Gardner, attorneys for Charlie Abram, the young negro who last Saturday night shot and killed Will Carpenter, waived preliminary examination and the negro was re turned to the county jail to await the July term of Superior court. Mr. O. Max Gardner in addressing Judge Mull stated that they had evi dence for the defendant that in their belief would entitle him to oond, but as the negro would be unable to raise bond there was no reason to present it as Superior court is only a few weeks off. The waiving of the exam ination took only a few minutes and the . large crowd, white and colored, was again forced to depart without hearing evidence that was at least ex. peeled to be interesting. Abram, whose name is really W’alter and not Charlie as lie is known about Shelby, maintained the assumed dignity and composure that he is known by among the negroes and took the formal mov ing up of the hearing in which his life will be at stake as noehalantly as any of the spectators. It is said that the defense will off er witnesses when the trial comes up who will say that the dead negro at tacked Abram with a knife and that the truck driver shot in self defense. One of the witnesses, it is thought, will be Amos Bugg, young negro who was riding with Abram and who is supposed to have heard all that took place just before the shooting and at the time when Carpenter is said to have made his wife get out of the truck where she was intending to r'de home with Abram. Report has it further that a number of people will tell on the stand that Carpenter stat ed on several occasions that he in tended to kill Abram for running with his, Carpenter’s wife, while he wap on the gang. Just how much there is to the rumors is not known, but it does seem as if certain evidence is coming up for the defendant that was not talked immediately following the shooting.
