A light criminal docket is ahead of r court and was given only two days on the trial calendar, but court ofti (.are of the opinion that the crim j- 'l docket will not likely be completed before sometime Wednesday, probably ir the afternoon. The cases making up the criminal calendar were mostly of minor nature with none carrying unusual interest. The case of Jim Jones, young white man, who was giv en a hearing in recorder’s court for an attack or assault on a small 9-year oM girl, has not been given any def inite place on the docket. In fact, So licitor Huffman had not at noon def initely decided as to the exact charges tn be included in the bill. The testi mony in the recorder’s court was a little unusual and there is some debate outside of the court room as to wheth er the charge will be one of an assault on a female or one of a more serious M'ture. However, the case will come up before the completion of the erim inal calendar. Court morning started off similar! to by-gone days that the old-timers fell about. It seems as if “court week” i in Cleveland up until a few years ago ! was forecast as an occasion of rain.! The farmers knew almost to a cer- j tainty. or banked on the prophesy,; ihat it would rain court week. Early in the morning they were not disappoint- j on although the sun peaked out later in the day. A large crowd packed the court room and downstairs corridors and of fice during the forenoon, it not only being a rainy court day, but also “first Monday,” both attractions of first cal ibre. it. clii m SMP1STI1TE Rev.

Fully To per cent ef the people at the Rockingh; ni socedway left the track yesterday under the impression that they had seen Pete DePaolo set up a new world’s record of 129 miles per hour in a 250-miie race. This was due to the fact that after the 100 mile mark had been passed no more time announcements were made and the figure of 129 was left on the fccoio board. The crowd took it for granted that this meant anew world’s record. The official time of the race was - hour 50 minutes and '15 08 seconds, or 125,2 miles per hour. Milton's re •ord at Culver city of 1 hour, 53 minutes and 13 second still stands. Although a new record for 250 *• ilea Tailed to materialize, Lean Fluray and Bob MeDonogh set up a new mark for 1000 mile when they averaged 129 miles per hour. Soon after this Du ray was forced out by motor trouble and MeD 'iioeti turned his cur over to Mil ton, who had failed to start. The race started half an hour overdue as car No. 7, driven by Milton was not ready. Milton did not appear on the track until the other drivers had made a lap. Ilia motor was so cold that he thought jt useless to continue and after maldm nine or ten lap: withdrew. DsPaolo after hearing that he had not broken the record said that he could have easily dene so if be had some real competition. As it was ho finished nearly three laps ahead of Hepburn, who finished second. Hep, burn’s time was two hours 23 minuicp, 33 seconds. George and Curtis McG'oe In Had Col lision At Greensboro. One Man Loses Both Eyes Greensboro, November 2*—Victims of the automobile collision which oc curred Saturday night at 7 o’clock near the Southern railway underpass on the Raleigh highway were ali rest ing well last night, according to re pot to from St. Leo's hospital, although two of the men, Grady Clapp and Curtis, McGhee, are still in a serious condition. Clapp is the mere seriously hurt and is totally blind, his eyes having l een cut and lacerate-,) as the result of the collision. McGhee sustained a fractured skull and several deep cuts about the forehead. Edward Happ, the Universiy of North Carolina stu dent, had one eye torn from its’ socket but otherwise sustained no serious injuries. George McGhee and Herman Reese, both of whom suf fered crushed bones, are reported to : be resting well. Jim Stewart, negro ! man who was the sixth member of the accident, was sent to his home Sunday. His condition was not serious. Full details of the accident were learned Sunday. The McGhee boys and Ilapp occupied a Ford roadster headed west, while Clapp, Reese and Stewart occupied a Buick touring car headed east. The roadster was without lights.. Reese, who was op erating the Buick, took the curve from the inside, it was reported. The impact was great and hurled the occupants of, both cars to the con crete highway, bruised and uncon scious. Both cars were demolished. Harp said that he was given a ride by the McGhee boys and that non* of the party was drinking. He said that he was on his way to Greensboro from the university. The occupants of the Buick car ell live near Gjl> renville. The McGhee boys live in Kings Mountain. Those who viewed 11m remains of the wreck consider it remarkable that any of the occu pants escaped death. Youngsters Enjoy Halloween Night The roughest weather of the season failed to curb the Hallowe’en spirit of Shelby’s youth Saturday night. The hobgoblins, pumpkin fares, masks, wigs, odd attire-had their day amid ringing bells and carefree aban donment. Wet toes and frozen ears were forgotten until a late hour in the night. One thing came about in good order for the evening’s fun of Shelby cliil dren—a full moon that peeped through the many colored leaves of the court square and gave the merry youngsters j the light of a giant Jack-o-lantern to, perk up their evenings play. The rain ceased for a while possibly in respect j for the play of the boys and girls, and the night passed off with practi cally ns much hilarity as marked pro-1 ceding years. _ _ !

Mr. Koey might say it hasn’t been so long since he was “Young Clyde,” biit the official file of by gone papers shows it to be some thing like 32 years ago. Then The Star was entirely handset and the publication a pro cedure calling for much labor. Now two big linotype machines gind nut the copy from all sec tions of the county and three pa lters are issued with more ease than one 30 years ago. Mr. Gardner added the hope that The Star would remain per manently on the tri-weekly basis. All subscribers in this section, he stated, are renewing at the old rate having already decided that three papers, would continue to come each week. With all the subscribers show ing that spirit and the new ones coming in such may be the case.

BEER. Receives First Car Lead of Grapes Here The Carolina Fruit arid Produce company operated down on West War ren street by Moses George and M. L. Kouri, receives this week the first ear load of grapes, ever received in Shelby. Grapes have been received and sold in Shelby heretofore, to be sure, but a ear load at one time is a recor 1 shipment. The car comes from Cali fornia and contains GOO kegs of re1 Emperors packed in cork. They will be distributed to dealers and sold to the trade in this vicinity. It is interesting also to learn that the Carolina Fruit and Produce coir pany has received during its fis«\ year just closed, 48 car loads of ba nanas. Car load shipmnets are almost an everyday oecurance. Mr. Kouri says the company received between 800 and S50 solid car loads of fruits and pro duce during the past year, including such things as six car loads of to matoes and one car of California can taloupes.

Rutter seeing his men unable to gain in the second quarter after an offside pen alty which cheated Hood out of a touchdown, drop kicked perfectly from the 20 yard line for three points.

Several months ao it was an nounced that Huffman, an able pro-eeutor, would retire as solici tor and devote his time to private practice. The announcement w is followed by a near flood of an nounced candidacies in the dis trict. One came from Morganton, another from Lincolnton, two from Catawba, one from Lenoir and a prospect in this county. Voters at the primary looked to have a field of a half dozen or more to choose front—and as yet they’re all in the running. How . ever, the decision of the present solicitor to accept the nomination again may change matters, though that remains to lie seen. Solicitor Huffman when asked this afternoon about making the race again said: “I will not in any way make a race, but I have concluded that if the peonle of the district want me again I Will ac cept the nomination, being whole heartedly a Democrat. Friends in all the counties in the district,, including this one, have urged me to seek the nomination again and 1 have told them that I would ac cept the nomination. It rests at that for the present.” BLANTON-BOWEN WEDDING IN WEST NO. « TOWNSHIP Squire Gilead Green officiate'.! at the wedding of Mr. Hoyle Bowen, son of E. H.

Drive Away Eluding Officers. Charlotte, Oct. 31.—"Daddy, he’s pot a watch, too. Do you want me to get that?" "Yes—get every d—thing he’s got.” And a trim little woman, about 25, marched hack to the perturbed motor man—IT. N. Jamison, at the end of Myers Park street car line at 3:05 o’clock last night—and added his watch to the money already secured. It was the first of two daring rob beries of molormen on the Charlotte ,lm*a during. Lkenight. The other,was 1 T5 minutes later, by the same man, it is thought, when Motorman H. K. Campbell, at the end of the North Charlotte line, lost his 800 watch and a hatful of pennies, nickels end silver money. The only information the officers had to work on last night was that the couple drove what appeared to be a Buick touring ear, that the man wan about 35 years old, rather heavy, wore overalls, grey cap, dark coat and knew how to run a street car, The woman was some younger than the mao, small, flippant, had lots of nerve and was hugely enjoying the occasion, ap parently. "But she wasn’t a married woman,’ Motorman Jamison remarked in his wisdom. “If she had been married she would have known how to go through ,< man’s pockets better. She missed $M of my money. Mr. Jamison was also moved to say that ho didn't believe she was a perfect lady. .She didn’t iook like it, he said. Reporting to W. F. Hobbs, night in spector, he said that he was leaving the end of the Myers Park line, on his u:,y back to the square, lie had two passengers, the man and woman. In a few moments, he said, the curtain at his back moved, and looking back he saw the man standing behind him with a drawn gun. “Get back hi the car," he quoted i nr rotiDcr. There seemed nothing else to do. The man took charge of the car, reduced the speed and ran it slowly. Jamison turned to go inside the ear and was confronted by the winsome little wo man who was pointing' a large revol ver at him in a very disagreeable way. The man, runing the ear with ere hand, continued to cover the motor man with his revolver. With two guns pointing at him he made no resistance. The woman went through his pock ets hurriedly and silently. She took all the money she could find, Jamison said amounting to between $20 and $25, ?5 of which was his personal money, the remainder being company money. About $11 of the money was in small change, he said. When she had taken all the money she made him sit down and reported to “daddy” what she had done, he said. The man stopped the car and both started to leave. The woman then re membered that she had left the watch. She returned for it and both, with their revolvers still pointed at the mo torola n, stepped to the ground. The man commanded Mr. Jamison to “move on.” He said he left them be side the car tracks looking after nim ns he drove away, lie said he noticed that they stopped the car beside a touring car that appeared to be a Buiek. Other motormen on the Myers Parr: line, hearing of tjie incident, reported to Inspector Hobbs that they had seen a Buick car in Myers Park several times last night.

The full load entered Mr. Bank’s chest in the region of the heart. Ilo was dead before assistance could reach him. Other members of the hunting party, hearing the report, hurried to the scene. Life was el ready extinet When they raised Mr. Banks from the ground. The accident occurred on the farm of Fletcher Dellinger, two miles from Cherryville. The party had gone out iTer squirrels. The other hunters were in the immediate neighborhood and ; saw the preacher fall. A physician was rushed to the scene quickly, but there was nothing he could do. It is said that the party was pre paring to return to town after mi afternoon of sport, and Mr. Banks was placing his loaded gun into the cap barrel toward him, when the trigger became hung on some part of the in terior of the automobile, discharging the weapon, the full load taking effect in the minister's breast. .Mrs. Banks, who is the only othc-t member of the immediate family, was not at home when the accident occur red, she having gone on a visit to her mother, Mrs. Michael, near Winston Salem. She was notified of the death of her husband by telegraph, and reached Cherryville early Sunday. Mr, Banks had been pastor of the Presbyterian church at Cherryville for six years. He was a member of the chamber of commerce, a Pythian and took an active interest in all public activities. He was about 45 years of I age. Shelbv Boys Star In Football World Products of Gurley and Morris Shine in Prep and College Games. Beam Future Star. Shelby football fans together with numerous fathers and mothers watch ed with interest the fdotball battles of Saturday in this and adjoining states. It is thought that more pro ducts of Shelby High performed in grid contests Saturday than ever be fore. “J” McMurry, Carolina end, was one of the outstanding stars in the Carolina lfi-0 upset of Maryland. In the -Davidson-State game at Davidson five Shelby boys performed. They were Austell, Anthony, Bynum and Logan fci the (State line, and Arrowood at end for Davidson. Charlie Austell, spoken of as “State’s little end” and Bynum were State stars. In the victory of the Carolina fresh Friday over Virginia, Fred Beam and Steve Furehess were stars for the Tar Babies. Saturday, George Dedmon performed at end for the State college fresh eleven, and Theos Hopper was at end for Bing ham Military academy. Carl Ellerbe ran at right half back for the little Deacons at Wake Forest, and Caldwell is on the Oak Ridge prep eleven. It sure was a big day for Shelby >n football terms, even though the pres ent highs are practically out of the running, for Dick Gurley and Casey Morris are seeing the procTfects of their training at work in the college world.

There was little premiminary about the robbery. Mr. Campbell said that he felt a revolver muzrl, gainst the libs and heard a command co stop the car—which he did. The man went through his pockets taking everything he could find except 25 pennies. The motorman lost a watch he valued at ?60, $8 of his own money and prob ably $25 of company money. Much of the latter was in small charge.
