IT CHIMNEY RQGK IDEAL TOR HENHMML
Thinks North Carolina
Alone Will Finance
Dream Work of Noted
Sculptor In State.
•The sheer cliff in the Chimney
Rm k -gorge talked of as the bite fop
the completion of Gutzon Borglum’s.
Confederate memorial is almost ideal
by the working of nature * for the
work of Borglum", is the opinion of
jessc G. Tucker, Borglum’s Stone
Mountain superintendent, who is now j
connected with the state highway
commission in this county and visited
the mountain section with his former
employer. Tucker while in Shelby one
day this week discussed freely the
proposed plan to complete the Stone
Mountain work in western Rutherford
and was enthusiastic over the prob
able completion of the work by Bor
glum, to whom he still bears the loy
alty of a tried employe.
Would Take Five Years.
A.-ked how long it would take to
complete the mammoth memorial to
the Southern soldier should the pro- j
ject at Chimney Rock be financed
Tucker gave his opinion “five or six
years”, The problem of financing the
work Tucker would not discuss. “That
is not for me to talk about,” he de
clared. “But I believe that North Car
olina, undivided as it is and with the
interest shown in Mr. Borglum and
the memo! ial, would if called on fi
nance it alone. This is a fine people
here in this state and they seem to
thoroughly understand Mr. Borglum
and his idea of the memorial.”
Tucker remarked that he visited'
Chimney Rock with the Borglum
party and that the report that the
sculptor was enthusiastic over the
site was not overstated. “Because,” he
said, “it conforms to every require
ment for the success of the undertak
ing and even we the assistants
knowing what we do about
tlie work and the gigantic carving
can see that no place could offer more
advantages.” Such is the natruc of
the rocky mountain side considered
that parts of the outline figure are
already on the face of it, according to
Tucker. A part of the outline of the
figure of Jefferson Davis, that of his
shoulder and the flow of his cjoalf is
already there and around other fis
sures in the stone other outlines can
easily be carved.
VI Idle discussing the work already
carried on at Stone Mountain Tucker
remarked that in his opinion the me
morial there would never be complet
ed—in fact, that no further work wiil
he done. Considering that the me
morial there will never be brought to
completion the former superintendent
does not see how there will be any
division of conflict Of sentiment over
the location of the memorial in this
state.
M ith added talk over the entire
country about the proposed comple
tion of the memorial in this state the
section is just now realizing what the
decision to finish it at Chimney Rock
would really mean to Western North
Carolina.

Young Negro Is
Reciting Prodigy
—
Shelby street gatherings for sev
eral weeks have been amused by a
small negro youth who entertains with
his memory recital. This week some
one accosted the little black bit of hu
manity on a street corner and ques
tioned his ability to name the books of
the Bible. The result was that the
boy named not only every book in the
Bible, in proper order, but also ran
through the names of the Presidents
of the United States.
The boy is Herbert Jeffries, son of
a colored woman who lives in North
Shelby, coming from Gaffney about
3 months ago. With a very intelli
gent mind the boys says he was taught
his recital by Hettie Bowman, wife of
a colored minister in Gaffney. Her
bert, who has become quite a favorite
in Sheiby, will be 14 years of age in
February and will be in the fifth
grade in school, he says.

JEWELER FID FOR
POSSESSING LIQUOR
Officers Find Quantity Of Whiskey
In Store Of E. G. Morrison In
Business Section.
In recorder's court Wednesday
morning F G. Morrison, well known
Shelby Jeweler, was fined $100 and
the costs by Judge Jno. P. Mull and
placed under a suspended sentence of
four months for two years, on the
charge of having in his possession a
quantity of whiskey, the amount said
to be by officers “around three or
four gallons.”
Late Tuesday afternoon Chief B. O.
Hamrick and Policeman McBride Pos
ton acting upon reports, according to
the evidence, with a search warrant
visited Morrison’s store, which is in
the main business section on LaFay
ette street facing the court square,
and found, they testified, the liquor
which was introduced as evidence in
the court room. The liquor was in
two glass jugs and several pint bot
tles, with a small quantity in a can
It was found, the officers stated, in a
large safe in the rear of the store.
The defendant admitted having the
liquor for his personal use and ex
plained the way it was partially bot
tled in pints by saying that it was so
bottled that it might be placed in the
safe. Mr. Morrison further admitted
that he took a drink regularly at
night and that although he knew it
to be a violation of the law he had
thought it no more than a man spit
ting on the sidewalk in violation pf a
city ordinance. lie further stated that
in his opinion a small amount of
liquor might be found in the homes
of 75 per cent of the Shelby men. The
officers, he said, should have warned
him that his habit of taking a drink
would lead to anything serious and
he would have put an end to it. “It
is their duty, I think,” was his state
ment. Whereupon Judge Mull remind
ed that if all offenders were warned
the law would never catch and con
vict anyone, and further added that
as long as men drink and buy liquor
others will violate the law by mak
ing and selling it.
Pink Brooks, colored, at the same
session of court was given a six
months sentence on selling a quart.
Brooks, who is from the Polkville
section, entered an appeal and bond
was set at $500. Oscar Blanton, ot
Buffalo, charged with aiding and
abetting in prostitution, or soliciting
for prostitution, failed to appear and
was called out by the court, his cash
bond of $100 being forfeited.

Automobile Dealers
Protest New Taxes
Appear Before Aldermen And Ask
That Special Privilege Tax On
Dealers Be Lowered
Fourteen automobile dealers of
Shelby gathered at the meeting- of the
city aldermen Tuesday night in the
City Hall and protested the recent
tax imposed by the aldermen on the
motor car dealers, declaring that they
thought it too high and asking that
other business enterprises be taxed on
a similar basis.
Spokesmen for the dealers stated
that through their investigation of
the special privilege tax list there are
72 lines of business in Shelby that
are taxed and 73 lines unmolested by
the privilege tax. Business houses
were named ihat take up as much
curb space as the auto dealers yet
pay none or only half as much priv
ilege tax. It was further pointed out
by the dealers that automobile men
seem to be the target of all taxes.
According to them automobile dealers
now pay 12 separate taxes, totalling
around $631.
At the meeting one order was pass
ed that will be/efit local dealers. It
was the imposition of a $100 tax
against the outside dealers who coitie
to Shelby selling automobiles.
Following the meeting members of
the automobile dealers association
announced that they would hold a
meeting Friday night at 7:30 o’clock
at Cleveland Spring hotel, at which
time it is presumed the tax will be
further discussed.

UTTLE GIRL TELLS
lS-Yenr-Old Mountain Child of Clev
eland County Tells Tragic llistorv.
Saved by H T. Falls.
(By R. K. Powell.)
Raleigh, July 21. "Because," ac
cording to her story, she n : i ‘..si in
the defense of her home, Lula June
Spencer, “going on sixteen," is in the
state penitentiary, along with her
mother and father, and destined to I
stay there at least five year;, maybe!
longer, unless some one wants to do!
something about it.
Lula Jane lisps over her pic turesque
mountain words and it was with diffi
culty that she admitted Shelby to be
the largest place she had ever visited.
That was when she was living at
Fallston, in Cleveland county, and be
fore she moved over the river into
Catawba, where the famliy got into
trouble.
On the books out at the orison
Lula Jane is docketed as a felon, hav
ing been convicted of accesssory he.
fore the murder of Roy Hedrick. The
same charge is docketed against
“Maw" Spencer and “Pop" Spencer.
Her brother, l>ow, younger than she
is, was ordered by Judge T. J. Shaw,
who tried the case to be confined In
the Catawbn county home.
“Bud ain't right bright," Lula Tana
said in explnnation of the distinction
in the sentences.
Of course there must have T eon an
other side to the story or no judge
would have ordered Lula Jane rent to
prison. She is, at best, one of the un
derprivileged children—a fine subject
for one of the civic clubs to handle.
Dressed in the long prison denim
skirts, she looks older than she really
is. She admits that she’s had a hard
Her “Pop” drank a lot of liquor, she
said, and had been accused of even
helping to make some. They were in
trouble in Cleveland county because
a man tried to take the little crop
away from therU. She remembered
they went to Judge B. T. Falls and
employed lrim and Judge Falls saved
the crop for them. Then they rented
a little “patch” in Catawba, planted
corn and cotton, and then came the
tragedy.
The entire family had been to town
one Saturday night buying the week s
supplies. When they went home, a lit
tle after 1 o’clock, they found three
neighborhood boys tKer^. Her moth
er routed them out of beds and de
manded to know how they got in. The
boys told her that the door was open
and that they had .fetched along quart
of liquor for hej io drink. Lula Jane
says her mother tbld the boys to take
the “liliker” and scat with it. They
rebelled, started to raise a rueus and
one of them. Law Magness, hit the
; Spencer woman with a broom handle.
Then the general scramble started
and Hedrick was knocked down, un
conscious. She says that she hit him
a lick across the head, as did her moth
er and brother. It seems that she was
not concerned about what happened to
her father very much and it also
seems that the three boys who invad
ed the Spencer home were not after
the old man.
This girl is as far froma criminal
type as would be found in a fortnights
search of the hill country. Her moth
er and father are typical mountain
poor folks—they were very poor. The
girl has firm features, is more or less
undernourished and is cowed because
of the punishment she has received.
She comprehends the disgrace of a
term in prison but she has no hope
whatever. She was forced to leave
school after she had been through the
Of course she is the youngest fe
male prisoner the state ever receiv
ed. Prison officials frankly hope she
won’t be with them long because they
recognize that some one might do
something for her and completely
change the course of her life. Right
now' she’s humiliated; after a while
she will become embittered. Then with
five years, maybe ten to serve, she
wlil plan her kind of revenge.
