That Bull-et.
The Nows and Observer of Friday
tolls a story that sounds both “fishy
and funny” to local people. It is f the
recent trip through this section <>*
Gutson Borghtm, noted sculpt*.', who
stopped over at Cleveland Sprint * <n
bis trip to Chimney Rod;. The story
tells of the Belgium car being piere?
ed by a bullet . :iJ of the party being
hold up and fined by a rural nu-<>r»
cycle officer in this county. That the
pArty must have made a mistake as
lo the fine f< r speeding seem sure
here for Cleveland county doc. not
tave rural inotof’cyeU* officers, in fac t
no motorcycle officer at all.
At least the story is interesting, as
t reveals the working* of mountain
pagination:
“Grtzon Borglum, the noted sculp
r, probably escaped death by a mar
i of le.s than nine inches when the
jtomobik in which he was returning
com the mountains of Western North
Carolina was fired upon, presumably
hy traffic officers, Tuesday after
noon, t ilher in Rutherford fount}
near the Cleveland line, or in tiaHton
county, between Gastonia and King*’
Mountain. A .45-calibre pistol bullet
penetrated a heavy trunk on the rear
of the Car.
“The bullet hole was not discovered
until yesterday when the car was be
ing washed at the Motor Service Co.,
here. The bullet penetrated the walls
of tin trunk and was stopped uy tools.
It appeared to have been fired at a
slight angle from the right side of th*
car, and from a fuirly close range.
The hole in the trunk wall is large
enough to poke a finger through. The
bullet, lodged inside the trunk.
*M»\ Horj ltun with a party of
friends we- returning from a brief
vacation in the mountains. Included
it. the party were R. L. McMilan, Ra
leigh att nicy; Hugo Villa, Mr. Bor.
glum’s studio assistant; Perrin W.
(lower, and Ben Dixon McNeiil. The
party iiad climbed Chimney Rock,
letting there about 4 o’clock, intend
ing to Reach Raleigh shortly after
midnight. Mr.. McNeill was driving.
The trip was made in a high-powered
1 inrcnhc-rg.
"Jn sparsely st ttlort rural districts
the car war running with the mufflei
ctpen. Members of the purty remark,
t d between Gastonia and King!) Mourt
tain that they believed they were be
ing fired upon from the rear, but
others thought it was only the ex*
haust from the motor, and no more
was said of it until the bullet hole
Was found by mechanics yesterday
morning. In Cleveland county the car
was overhauled by amounted police,
man, and a fine collected. He said
that he had been in pursuit for siy
miles, but made no mention of having
fired upon the car.
“From the appearance of the hole
in the trunk the pursuer was evi
dently firing at the tires or at the
gasoline tank. He missed both urn!
had his fire been nine inches higher
it would have caught Mr. Borglum In
the ack of the head. When shown
the bullet hole yesterday Mr. Bor
glum smiled and remarked that it was
probab'v /ertunate that the car was
running at a speed that it outran the
bullet."
Shelby Attains The
Million Dollar Class
Annual Building and Loan Associa
tion to Meet at Wrightsvilte
Beach July 21-23.
Seventeen building and loan asso.
ciations in North Carolina now have
assets in excess of $1,000,000 each,
according to reports received by L. W.
Moore, president of the North Caro
lina Building and Loan league.
Cities where associations have at
tained the million dollar chus durinj*
the past year include Gastonia, Con
cord, Durham, Shelby, Rocky Mount
and Greensboro.
Institutions with this record were
already located in Charlotte, Asheville
High Point, Hickory, Greensboro, Wil
mington, Winston-Salem and Raleigh.
Close observer? of the economic site
uatio., within the state predict that
many more will reach the select circle
during the present year, thus allevi
ating to a great extent the housing
shortage now existing.
Reports received by President
Moore show that practically every
association in the state, regardless or
the size of city where located, made
substantial gains during -1924.
These institutions are, in the opin
ion of leading bueinecs men, becom
ing potent factor? in their respective
communities by reason of the fact
that they are providing the people
with means of owning their own
homes.
The annual meeting of the North
Carolina League of Building and Loan
associations will be held at the Sea
shore hotel, Wrightsville Beach,
July 21, 22, 23.

DR. ROBERT L. RAMSAUR, Chiropractor
Dr. R. L. Ramsaur who is cartooned abov is a native of Cleveland county, the son of Thomas
J. Ramsaur. He is a grand-aon of the late Major II. F. Schenck, pioneer cotton manufacturer of
this section. He was born at Cleveland Mills, this county, and attended Piedmont High School.
Later he went to Wake Forest College and Virginia Polytechnic Institute. After finishing vhis
academic training, he took up his professional training at the Palmer School ot Chiropractic, the
fountain head of Chiropractic, located at Davenport, Iowa, graduating from that institution in
January 1918. He went before the state board of Chiropractors in May 1920 and was among the
first to stand examination after the State Board of Examiners was formed.
Dr. Ramsaur located in Shelby the following August, almost five years ago and is occupying
the same office rooms he started in, located in the Judge J- L. Webb building and on the same
floor and near the public library. He stands well in his profession and his practice has gradually
grown. While chiropractic is a new* healing method to many, the real merit of it is almost unlimit
ed. He is the pioneer in the profession in Shelby and is pleased to have selected such a rapidly
growing town. Recently Dr. Ramsaur was married to a most popular Shelby lady, Mrs. Essie
Dodd Kendall—that’s why he is pictured in the above cartoon as “Just Married.”
Dr. Ramsaur is a member of the Masonic and Knights of Pythias lodges in good standing.

CAN CHIRROPRACTIC CURE ME?
This is the QUESTION asked by every one com
int? to the Chiropractor? If so how long will it take?
CHIROPRACTIC DOES NOT CURE, NATURE
is the only HEALIN'* nower. and Chiropractic is the
means by w’hieh NATURE’S forces are restored to
weakened tissues, ano* HL'ALTH results.
CHIROPRACTIC IS THE MEANS by which
the cause is removed and NATURE does the heal
ing. The rime it takes depends upon the nature of
disordor and how long it has existed.
Most physical disorders result from a part or
j parts of the body failing to get its normal flow of
impulses from the brain, and is unable to meet the
demands of the body. This gives rise to symptoms
of dis-ease. The shorter time such a condition ex
ists, the less damage is done, and the less time it will
take for nature to restore condition to normal health
and activity.
Chiropractic is a scientific method of locating
and adjusting the cause of disease, without the use
of drugs or medicine, by finding and adjusting, with
the hands, one or more joints of the spine which are
interfering with the normal flow of impulses be
tween the brain and tissue cell.
