Cleveland County Plants Using .Sou
thern Power Must Cease Oper
ations One .Jay Each Week.
Owing to the prolonged and unprc
cederted drought experienced in Pied
mont sections of N(,rtli and South
Carolina affecting th water levels in
all streams in thus section, the South
ern Power Company has issued a
drastic curtailment order in the am
ount of power available for distribu
tion pending an improvement in con
ditions. Cotton mills and other manu
facturing enterprises are requested by
the company to co-operate in the
curtailment program and a schedule
is outlined under which power will be
cut off from certain industries for
one or more days each week beginning
at G o’clock Wednesday morning of
this week.
Close Here Next Tuesday.
Every textile plant in Cleveland
county will therefore close one day
each week beginning next Tuesday
morning, Sept. 1st at 0 a. m. and con
tinue such a program until rain
coi.vs and replenishes the streams of
water which are depended on for
electric power generation. Cleveland |
has been pluced in Zone 4 along with
Rutherford, Lincoln, Catawba, Ire
dell, Caldwell and Burke counties in
North Carolina, Cherokee and Spar
tanbuig counties in South Carolina.
When r 11 of these mills will shut down
from Tuesday Sept. 1st G a. m. to
Wednesday morning Sept. 2 at G a
m.
The curtailment program asks that
power be used only for such purpose
us is necessary for strictly public use
or for hundling of perishable pro
ducts or for fire protection. A letter
from the Southern Power Co., to
Mayor A. P. Weathers asks that
every economy be used in the town of
Shelby by light and power consum
ers, but it will not be necessary to do
without lights in homes and business
places. The motors at the city water
plant will be used at night instead of
during the day.
Zone 5 is the first to institute the
curtailment program. This zone is
composed of South Carolina countie
entirely and they cease operation
Wednesday morning of this week un
til Thursday morning. ^
Every steam plunt the Southern
Power Co., has to generate electric
power has been running at capacity
tor some weeks but it has been im
possible to supply the demands, so
the curtailment program will con
tinue until rains come in sufficient
quantities to ’increase production at]:
tlie hydro-electric plants.

Picnic Scraps From
Farm Celebration
Early Friday morning, the town
was sur-tharged with the electric at
mosphere of the celebration The
flags flying, and the steady stream
of cars through the town somehow
produced a feeling of expectancy like
that with which the ••mall boy waits
for the circus parad, to pass. Clerks
end merchant.- up town taught the
: p'rit, and various windows were
decorated 'with signs welcoming the
farmers.
\bom eleven o'clock, the sky in the
north and west clouded up heavily and
a strong breeze sprang up. -The rain
that generally accompanies picnics
did not materialize, however, as the
sun came out after an hour or so.
Only the strong wind prevented it
from becoming intensely hot.
Everyone seemed particularlly in
terested in the airplane, although
few cared to ride in it. After the
first passenger, though, it was easier
for the others to make up their
minds to take a flight over the city.
Molloy had humpy going for a while,
on account of the strong north wind,
hut the air settled down to a stead',
breeze, and his take-offs were made
! in remarkably quick time. Once he
made a landing in ground that had
several rough places ni it and the
plane rocked for a second as if she
were going over on her nose.
A nest of yellow jackets twenty
feet to the left of the platform al
most succeeded in breaking the meet
ing with their sharp stingers. One
child was stung and another stepped
right nto the nest, stirring them up
so badly that all the bystanders were
1 glad to. give the.insects a safe margin.
! .Someone, with mere thought than
others had shown, roped off a triangle
j inclosing the place of danger, and
I tied a sign up with this inscription:]
j “Beware—Yellow Jackets.” And they!
“bewared,”
Right r.fter Governor McLeod had !
finished speaking, everyone, especial
ly the children, began thinking about|
eating. One little boy, about three i
years old, dressed in short blue trous
ers and wearing a straw hat tied
under his chin, passed the hotel porch,
|crying as if his heart would break,
lie kept saying over and over, “I
want sump’n t'eat—I want sump’n j
; t'eat.” He must have gotten it, for
there was plenty of it.
Everybody was just as ready as
the child to eat when the time came,
and the 197 baskets furnished by tint
ladies vanished in record time. The
sound of the corner calling to "eats'
produced a stir all Over the grounds,
and when the baskets were opened,
the crowd around the improvised
table-covers was at least three deep.
Miss I.andon and Forrest McGill
were everywhere at once, or so it
seemed. Wherever they wore needed,
and that was at a thousand and one
places, they were ready to help, and
as a result, everything went off ns
smoothly as clock-work.
Governor McLeod and his daughter
were universally popular with the
people gathered at the Springs. Both
were as democratic as anyone could '
possibly be, and the farmers ap
preciated it. The executive’s speech
was straight from the shoulder, and
couched in u-rtns that made his mean- 1
ing plain as well as forceful. Shelby
and Cleveland County are solid for
Governor McLeod.
