Solicitor’s Race Starts Something About The District Hickory. Nov. 12—With six candi dates in the field for the Democratic nomination for the solicitorship of this district to dale, a letter was received by The Hickory Daily Record today from Solicitor R. L. Huffman denying a rumor that he was an avoked can didate to succeed himself and sug gesting"lhat a mass meeting, or con vention if call, it that,’ be held at some'central point with “representa tive Dcmdcratics from every town ship in the district,’’ The solicitor sug gested that one man be named at that proposed convention to enter the election without Democratic opposi tion. D. I.. Russell re fits ad yesterday to hold a private primary in Catawba County with City Attorney J. L. Mur phy, both candidates for the nomina tion from Catawba County. It will be remembered that dur ing the recent criminal court term here Solicitor Huffman intimated that many voters had asked that he seek the nomination again, but that lie would make no race, taking the nomination only without a fight for it.

R. S. Frazier. As a safeguard to builders, the city fathers have drawn ordinances requir ing all plumbing and wiring dealer in the town of Shelby to be inspected fcy the city engineer D. R. S. Frazier, and in order to keep a record of the buildings that are erected, those who have buildings of any size construct ed within the corporate limits must j first secure a permit from the city j engineer. These ordinances were ! drawn and passed sometime ago but i t*ieir operation has not been insisted | upon until now’. Hereafter, those who j build must secure a permit and plumb | ers and electricians must have their ! work inspected and approve, other - 5 wise they will subject themselves to | a fine. Zoning May Follow. Building permits and inspection of plumbing and wiring are parts of ill city governments and since Shelby is rapidly growing into the city class, it is felt necessary to adopt these rt - j quirements for Shelby. Building per mits not only serve as records of the Shelby’s growth, but if application is made to erect some objectionable build ing in a residential section for instance Fngineer Frazier with-holds the per mit until the matter has been passed upon by the city fathers. It is thought that the building permit idea will eventually mean that the town will be “zoned,” that is, sections will be allot ted to business and other sections to residences and neither can encroach upon the other. Later it is expected to establish “building lines” whereby residences cannot be set nearer the streets than a -certain distance. Such limitations are necessary in -planning and building a “city beautiful” which Shelby hopes to be. Plumbing and Electric Inspection. In the matter of inspection of plumbis* and electric wiring, the city fathers found that such were required a few years ago, but not having an official who could make the inspec tions when called upon, the ordinances were disregarded. These ordinances have been revived and Mr. Frazier city engineer is available when called upon to make inspections. All plumb ing must conform to the city code and el! wiring must be done in accordance with the requirements of the South Eastern Tariff Bureau, the purpose of such requirements being to safe guard the property owner, protect the health of the community against un sanitary sewer disposals, and protect the property against fire by seeing to it that all electric wiring is properly executed. Small fees are attached to the is suance of permits and the inspection of plumbing and electric work, but property owenrs will no doubt be pleased to pay the fees when they re alize the safeguards are for their own protection. Kiwanians Tell Of District Meet Club Hears Reports Of Delegates To I’inehurst Convention. Go To Gaffney Meet Monday Night. At the regular weekly meeting Thursday night at Cleveland Springs of the Kiwanis club reports of the Carolinas District convention at Pine hurst were made by delegates of the | local club, the program being in charge of Rush Hamrick, district trustee. Following a short talk by Mr. Hamrick, of the convention in general and the trustee’s conference, Mr. George Blanton, who was the repre sentative of the club at the confer ence of presidents, told of that meet ing and of the high lights of the con vention, making a talk that was re ceived with much interest. Max Wash burn, who attended the meeting of club secretaries, reported that phase ef the convention, while Dr. Reuben McBrayer and Mr. Paul Webb, other delegates, discussed the convention in general, touching upon club attend ance, enthusiasm shown and other matters of business transacted at Pinehurst that were of interest to lo cal club members. No Meeting Here.' No meeting of the club will be held here this week, it is announced by Secretary Burrus, owing to the inter city meeting with the Gaffney Ro tary club at Limestone college Mon day evening at 7:30 o’clock.

Up until November 1. last year, only 20,379 bales had been ginned, an increase for the period of 10.950 bales. This is explained by the early season as the ginning season is practically over for this year. However, a considerable amount of cotton has been ginned since the first of the month and there is a quantity still to be ginned. The question now with those in terested in the crop —and that means Cleveland county—is: Will t go over the 35,000 bale mark?

Four Sisters Coming For Program Here | A very clever organization, dis tinctive Lyceum work by reason of the fact that all of its members are sisters, and all are talented in intru mental, vocal, and dramatic lines, will appear at Central School Au ditorium here next Thursday night, November 19.

STJITE SPLIT ■ Thinks President of the Two Colleges Should Intercede and Prevent Break. Retails Break of '05. Greensboro, Nov. 12—It would be nothing short of a calamity if the University of North Carolina and State college -ever football relations Presidents Chase of the Unherri y. and Brooks of Stats college, shoal.) step in arid try to block the threaten ed break. This in substance is the opin ton of O. Max Gardner, an alumnus of both institutions. Mr. Gardner here for the Armi-ti. d day exercises yesterday. display'd intere. t in the present athletic rela tions cf the two big state school*, lie recalled the break between the two in - ;titutions in 1905 and the resumption ' <f play in 1919. The major interest, . aid Mr. Gard ner, is that the game s! ould be play ed. It doesn’t matter so very much about the date nor who wins. The al umni of the two colleges and people all over the state have become greatly interested in the fair week classic They journey to Raleigh not only to ,-ce the football game, but to enjoy themselves socially—they are begin ning to look upon the contest as the tenter of a great homecoming. To cancel it would cause deep regret all over North Carolina—it would bo al most a calamity. Mr. Gardner said everywhere he has been recently he has found a ma jority of the citizens deploring; the minatory break. The opinion of alum ni is that the game must be played: they aren’t seeking the cause of the strained relations. One gets the idea here that the presidents of the two colleges will be asked immediately to intercede in an effftrt to stop what the athletic au thorities seem bent on doing: Depriv ing North Carolinians of a chance to see the two big state teams in action.

Clyde R. Hoey, Shelby attorney and “Cleveland coun ty’s favorite son,” in the words of Maj. R. G. Cherry, deliver a great plea for America to enter into an association of nations to prevent war. The speaker cared not what the asso ciation might be called league alli ance, or association. His words flowed pleasantly to every ear in the house. It was termed by his listeners as one of the greatest and most inspiration al addresses ever delivered here. Leading up to his plea for the end of war, Mr. Hoey told of the result of war, its costs to nations and costs to mothers and fathers. A word description of the move ment of the late Woodrow Wilson is war president delivering his famous message to Congress, and as the re tiring executive, signing his final bills in the president’s room on March 4, 1924, as he was about to retire and become “The Lame Lion of S Street,” was given by Mr. Hoey in a most vivid style. America entered the world war for no personal honor or selfish mo tive, Mr. Hoey asserted, but to right a great wrong. People of the various countires of Europe looked upon Pre sident Wilson as a great deliverer, some one almost sent from Heaved to deliver the English, French, Italians, and others from war and the result of war. Even the Germans welcomed the great American, asserted the speaker. But America failed and has con tinued to fail, according to the ex congressman. America should now not forget her great purpose for which she entered the war. America ought to re-dedicate and reconsecrate herself to her ideals and enter with the other nations into a league to prevent war.
