SHELBY’S POPULATION 1925 Census_8,854 Where Industry Joins With Climate In A Call For You. , $2.00 A YEAR IN ADVANCE WOMEN OF COUNTY PLANNING REAL TREATS IN THEIR FAIR DEPARTMENT Entire County Interested in Departments Spon sored by Ladies. Committees, Judges and Department Heads Announced, jhc outstanding feature perhaps o', the final preparations going on at the fair grounds is the work of the la dies of the county in completing ar rangements for their many depart ments at the big fair next week. Thar with one year’s experience the women of Cleveland have learned how ta make visitors gasp at the wonder of their displays and exhibits is already evident at the fair grounds. Cleveland county's second big fair will be well worth attending if there was nothing more on display or for entertainment than the departments under the cT rection of these ladies. A general review of how the women of the county will help put over the county's biggest fair event next wees is given by Mrs. Irma Wallace, honiw agent: The fair grounds and buildings are rapidly taking shape for the 1925 Big Fair. The booths have been redistricted to suit the current entries and every thing planned and prepared to this end. In the ladies department, the fruit, pantry and dairy supplies will have their same positions, and while we are talking about these may we ask that the fruit in the county be put on display. Every jar entered helps to make your fair that much better. The pontry and dairy department is ex pecting to make a far better display than was exhibited last year. The mot to for this booth is: “Can’t Cleveland County Cook.” The flowers will again adorn the central portion of the building, mak ing a beautiful connecting link for the work of the men and women. More reasonable entries and better premiums will insure a great im provement in this department. The are booth has been removed to the end of the building in order that we may have more wall space for hanging cite pictures. Crafts have grow-n into ;-. separate department and will occupy the central space of this department. More and better premiums will insure the success of this Centura which wc expect to add greatly to the attrac tivness of the booth. Antiques have, grown into a booth of their own, and with their histories will be one oi the “drawing cards” in booths. Two entirely new departments have been added: The Girls club depart ment and the Old Ladies department. In th first every club girl is* asked to exhibit either a piece of sewing, or some cooking. The Old Ladies department is insti tuted to take care of the beautiful things made before the time of auto mobiles when one had the time to ?pend on perfecting the aVt of needle work. \\ e are expecting this to be one of the most beautiful of all the booths. The fancy work has been moved to the center of the building in order that better care may be taken of the pieces entered. With more space we also hope to make a better display here than in the previous fair.

Unhealthy Condition Causes Action. One of the worst breeding- places for mosquitoes ever found in Shelby is Flat Rock branch below the septic tank where the backwater has a cess pool of filthy “wigglers” and mos quitoes. It is thought that most ot the mosquotoes which have caused such general complaint over Sheloy have been coming from this brancn and Mayor Weathers set to work last week to remedy the situation. A force of hands cleared out the bed of c'ne creek to encourage the flow of the scanty water because mosquitoes do not breed in moving water. Following the clearing out of the stream, sever al barrels of kerosene oil were pour ed in the branch to kill the lavae. It is felt now that this situation will be relieved and the citizens will have no further cause for complaint. The creek will be watched closely in order to prevent the recurrence of such again. Mosquitoes do not breed in run ning water and as long as the stream had sufficient water to flow gently, no mosquito beds were found, but since the dought has continued so long and the water has ceased to flow leaving small pools of still water, the situation has been growing from bad to worse. City officials have cleared up a number of places found to be breeding mosquitoes and several hun dred gallons of kerosene used as a disinfectant. With a sanitary mat- on the job all the time cleaning the sur face toilets it is felt that the worst is over as the city is doing all in its power now to clean up the breeding places. A pond of water at the McArthur old place has been let out while a swimming pool for colored people on the Flat Rock branch above the rock quarry has been b.oLvu : - out .ho r.vi._,_ Fire Loss at York F^stimated at $30, 000.

His daughter, Miss Myrtle Bar ron, professional music teacher, lost her piano and all the other valuable equipment of her studio. The Cleveland county chain pang entered the limelight again here this week when it was learned Monday that a tub of beer, similar to that used in mak ing moonshine liquor, was found near the cook house at the chain gang camp, which is now located west of town beyond Sunet cem etery. According to reports reaching the Star the beer was T5und in the vines near the cook house and a funnel, jugs and bottles were found else where about the camp. 25 gallons of gas that had been missing was also found, reports say. The discovery, it is said, was made Saturday morning by Claude Harrill, superintendent of the camp. Walter Mauney, who was convict ed on a liquor charge in recorder's court sometime back and is serving a j year’s sentence, is thought to have I some connection with the find, it is said. Mauney has twi a trusty, but over the week was put back in the. chains, information has it. It will be remembered that convicting evidence was found in Mauney’s house near Eastside, while he was confined to the house following an accident. That Mauney was directly connected with the affair could not be learned Other tl.an that he was again in chains. The Star was unable Monday after noon to get in touch with Supt. Har rill, who was out working some of the men, but it was learned from a re liable source that the beer was near ing the stage where it would be ready for a "run.” Recorder John P. Mull and County Solicitor Chas. A. l/arrus had not heard anything of the matter Mon day at noon, but Solicitor Buirus stated that he had written to Raleigh asking that his letter regarding a pardon for Mauney be rescinded. Judge Mull had also recommended the pardon, but said if the reports were i true he would ask that his recom mendation be kayoed. Mr. and Mrs. C. C.
