(With apologies to Buds
We’re beginning to think now about
She big fair this fall since the officials
have made their announcement. Soma
things in that advance notice carried
in the premium list are broad state
ments. It says “the Nat Reiss ‘!Q-ca»
show is the eleanest and one of ths
V St in America. Showmen every
where verify the statement.
The midway will he so much larg
er this year that extra ground will be
needed to plage it. And work going on
at the fair grounds verifies that state
ment.
Furthermore, the grandstand is be
ing enlarged to seat a crowd consid
i rably larger than the vast gathering
that assembled for the races last year,
and to add to thut the officials plan to
make the fair this fall the lurgest
county fair in the South.
I
That's some ambition. But drop
back a year and ponder. Then clap
your hands.
This time last year Cleveland
county had never staged a fair. How-,
ever, Dr. Dortori wound up and start
ed sparking like a short-circuited Duke
power plant and the people began to
co-operate. Then came the announce
ment that Cleveland’s first fair would
be one of the largest in the state.
Around Shelby and in the county there
were several that sneered. They could
not imagine such taking place in the
midst of their home county. Then the
fair came along and thousands swarm
ed daily to the fair grounds, coding
from every community in Piedmont
and Western Carolina. At the end of a
eheek-up was made, and it vvus found
that not only more people attended
our fair than any other county fair in
the state, but THAT THERE WERE
MORE PEOPLE HERE THAN AT
THE STATE EA!P„
So, don’t be surprVed at this year’s
ambition to lead the South. You’ve
had one proof of Cleveland folks turn
ing fair funatics. Just get set and
talk nothing else but fair until Sep
tember 2!) and see out on the Kings
Mountain highway the greatest fail
crowd in history.
“The business section of Shelby will
within 10 years extend two blocks
farther cut every street leading from
the square,” such was the declaration
of a real estate dealer as he talked to
a prospect last week. Perhaps it was
only prospective talk to land a cus
; tomer, but there's plenty of room ir.
the world fcr an optimist—and some
vacant space here in Shelby.
The column is confidently awaiting
for some major property developer to
come along and boom an enterprise in
or around Shelby. There is such op
portunity here—gobs of it—and the
town has the spreading spirit neces
sary to make it go.
Of course, Shelby 4s not in the
mountains, but some of the develop
ments press-agented to the world re
cently in this state cannot equal Shel
by’s climate, or as a New Yorket
would any, come tip to cur commuting
distance. Wouldn’t it be a grand sight
to see a lake filling one of the vales
on the Cleveland Springs park prop
erty end cottages galore around the
Shore line. Such is possible from an
engineering standpoint, and couple
with t he lake a hotel like Cleveland
Springs, a fine golf course,' henlth
i building mineral waters, and a unT
I form climate.
Many of the developments, to the
southward in Florida and to the west
ward in this state, have started with
less.

University Of Wisconsin Will Reject
Gifts In Future Because Of Criticism
Madison, Wis., Aug. C.—The Uni
versity of Wisconsin in the f Jture
will reject any gifts, donations or sub
sidies of incorporated educational en
dowments or organizations.
The bound of regents huv? ' alien i
this action because of critcism of it:*;
acceptance of 12,500.00 from the
general education board of the Rock- j
efelkr institution. It refused,, how
ever, to make the reduction retroac
tive anil previous acceptances of the
gift, to be used for medical research
will stand.
The resolution, submitted by Daniel
H.Grady of Portage, was adopted !)
to C after four hours of heated de
j bate. During the argument, E. A.
Birge, retiring president, said if he
! were incoming and the regents should
rescind their former decision, he would
resign. C. P. Casperson, ouestioned
the propriety of the University presi
dent casting the deciding vote cm ac
ceptance of the Rockefeller money as
president Birge did at a for met
meeting.
Miss Zona Gale, authoress, favdr
ing the resolution, said the Univer
sity should not accept such funds, no
matter what the financial pressure
might be. Theodore Kronshage, jr.,
Milwaukee, said the time had come
when educational institutions were t0
Ret a burden for state funds and th*
state must depend in part on money
from private sources, particularly t ,
research.
A vote of 8 to 7 defeated i m„.

action be deferred until the first $*«,

F. M. WATTERS of Cleveland Feed Co.
The cartoonist pictures above one who was horn in Pennsylvania, but he’s “from Missouri”
when it comes to believing that there is a better feed than “Tuxedo.” That in short would be a
good biography of F. M. Watters, proprietor of the Cleveland Feed Company, wholesale and retail,
with headquarters on West Warren street—or just behind the First National Bank, from point
of location.
Mr. Watters is what might be termed a new-comer to Shelby, but he’s a regular fellow from
standpoint of acquaintance and the fame his products have on the surrounding market. For eight
months the Cleveland Feed Company, with the hobby of “feeding human beings and other live
stock,” has been in business in Shelby and seemingly the firm has made its mark in that period.
Mr. Watters, a first-claimed native of Pennsylvania, was formerly salesman for the famous Van
Camp products and was well acquainted with the feeding line before he entered business here.
Associated with him in the ownership is Mr. Carey Boshamcr, wholesale grocer.
Tuxedo Feeds, manufactured by the Early & D aniel Company, are the main lines idth the Cleve
land Feed Company. The Tuxedo Feeds are for horses, cows, hogs and poultry and are already
popular with the farmers of Cleveland. In addition to the Tuxedo lines the firm carries flour ami
a general feed stock.
In spare moments Mr. Watters has a liking for the element of which his name suggests—water.
Swimming and fishing are his favorite amusome nts, although he is a sport fan of first calibre.
Mr. Watters is a Presbyterian, a Mason, and :t member of the U. C. T.
