C. MONDAY, NOV. 16. 1925. Published Monday, V ednesday and Friday Afternoons. $2.00 A YEAR IN ADVANCE Gardner Gets Praise About Ballot Stand Telegram* and Letters Flow in from ,\|| Sections Of State Con gratulating Him. Back home Saturday after his now noted Armistice Dady speech in Greensboro, aMx Gardner was flood ed with an avalanche of praise for Bis stand regarding a secret ballot, the equal of which perhaps has r.ever been tendered anyone in the history of the state for the declaration of a stand on an issue that was not even before the public at the time. Heaped upon the desk in his office were approximately 150 letters and telegrams congratulating him upon his declaration regarding the Austra lian ballot—and they came, and are still coming, from all sections of the state, Cherokee to Currituck, and from all walks in life, statemen, edi tors, women club leaders, ministers, business men, party leaders, and just the folks who vote, but wish to vote right. And down underneath the let ters and telegrams were newspaper dippings revealing the shower of editorial approval from practically every daily paper in the state, and some out of the state, and from the weekly press where there has been publication since the address. Cherished Messages. As he goes through the hundreds of letters with a smile on his face— a smile brought there by the praise of a people w'ho admire a courage to speak convictions—Mr. Gardner ap parently cherishes three above all the others. They are from Mrs. Phil McMahon, president of the North Carolina League of Women Voters; Archibald Johnson, of Charity and Children, and Clarence Poe, editor of The Progressive Farmer. Poe Says It. One paragraph from Poe’s letter is to the point: “Congratulations on your declaration for a secret ballot —Men will not buy votes when they cannot see theor delivered.” Confederate Vets Will. Find Checks Coming in December Consider ably Increased. Confederate veterans in Shelby and over Cleveland county when they re ceive their next pension checks short ly before Christmas, will find the (hecks considerably increased, State Auditor Baxter Durham said, in an nouncing the amounts veters and their widows will receive. First-class veterans will receive $-00; second-class, $185; third-class, *170, and fourth-class, $155, he said, hirst-class veteran#' widows will re ceive checks for the sum of $200, while fourth-class widows of veterans will let checks for $100. ine annual appropriation for Con ^derate pensions is $1,000,000, plus Any unexpended balance of the form er year. The last legislature divided the amount equally between veterans En'l widows. There will be about 3,200 soldiers wi the pension list this year, Mr. Dur ham said, 729 soldiers having been oropped during the year, a great ma jority of these by death, and 294 names having been addect during the year. •Six hundred and eighty-eight wid ows have been dropped from the pen sion roll, and 1,0*77 names of widows ndded to the roll. There will be about o400 widows on the pension rolls for the year, Mr. Durham stated. Checks will be mailed from the au ditor’s office December 15. Here’. A Plea That Should Be Heeded There are children in Shelby and mer Cleveland county who cannot af wd the books they actually need in their school work. Certain families now nearly desti ne owing to a bad season cannot a 'ord and have not the money with pnh to buy books ^or their children. 11 other homes sickness and trouble i taken the “rainy day” savings *?“ little ones cannot get the a ucation they must have because of * lack of funds for books. somewhere in Cleveland county ere are books that are not being rVt i ^lat m’&ht be given these needy ddren. Thoae who have such books /e asked to leave them with Wel re Officer Smith at the court ease, or notify him. He will see that th!^ S° to t*ie children who need v ,( an Cleveland afford not to thii appeal? Mitchell Pleading Not Guilty Here H Colonel \Vi::..,in Mitchell and his counsel. Itep. Frank It. I* ill of Illinois, ot i.|K’ninu of the colonel s court-martial at \VashingHni. Mitchell had ju.-t 1 nicj not guilty When this picture was taken Hearer Calls Hand Of Plain-Talking Local Preacher At a service held Saturday night in the Church of God in the Southern part of Shelby the preacher in charge made some rather plain statements in his ex hortation for clean living and aft er the service one of the hearers “called him.” And as the result of the calling the aftermath of the sermon will be aired in recorder’s court during the week, it is said. As reprots have it Rev. Mr. Long, preaching to the congrega tion urged them to lead clean lives and especially stressed the payment of debts. So earnest did he in his plea for cleanliness that he called out a man’s name in the congregation, and as reports have it told him that “you should pay Mr. So-and-So what you owe him.” The hearer, whose dignity had been hurt by the public call ing of his name before the entire congregation, called on the parson after the service and informed him that he did not owe “Mr. So-and-So" anything. The talk ad vanced and blows followed and as a result officers say that the hear er and his father, and also the preacher have bruised faces., The preacher, with a black eye, says he was kicked and the father of the hearer wfZv a bruised face says be was struck Vith a rock, and it seems to be a foregone con clusion that something happened. Just what it was Recorder Mull will attempt to find out at the hearing, which Chief Hamrick gayso will be held when the im portant witnesses arc able to at tend trial.

Plan Thanksgiving Shower In County For Hospital Here In Shelby anil over the county plans are being: made for the sec ond big Thanksgiving shower to be given the Shelby Public hos pital during Thanksgiving week. Indications are that the shower this Thanksgiving will exceed that cf last year, which was a big suc cess. Every man and woman in Cleveland county, especially the women, are asked to contribute something that day to the hos pital. The shower will not be one of money, but of articles useful to the upkeep of the institution that is proving such a convenience to the injured and sick of the coun ty. Among the things most de sired are bed and table linen of all kinds, vegetables. canned fruits preserves—anything th.i: may be used about the hospital, and for th;s reason the appeal is made more directly to the ladies of the town and county. In each home there should be some left over canned fruits, potatoes arid other vegetables that would fill a big empty space ia the hospitnl larder and last year numerous noble farm wives brought in enough to fill and overflow the larder and spread joy of the in stitution that cares for our sick. The day for the shower has been set for the Saturday aftrr Thanksgiving as many of the folks from the county will be in town that day. Some central point uptown will be selected an an nounced later, where the gifts may be left. Anyone desirir.tr to bring in articles before (hat time may do so and leave them at the point selected, where some one will take charge of the collection. Those who expect to be away over the week end should bring in their gifts prior to Saturday, as this day was selected so as not to in terfere with Thanksgiving serv ices or visits. Further details regarding the shower will be announced later and any information regarding the shower may be secured from Mrs. Clyde R. Hoey. Club women in town and county are urged to in terest their communities and clubs in the shower at once.

The body of Captain Fahius Shipp was laid to rest Friday morning un der the shadow of old St. Lukes Epis copal church, and it was placed by the side of his distinguished father, Lieu tenant William Shipp, who was killed in the Spanish-American war.

SHELBY DEFEATS HR HIGHSOU Wealth Of Substitute Flayers l n covered By Morris Dart Through Visitors For Victory A group of yoy.sp substitutes shot in the game to take the places of in jured players displayed some remark able football and enabled Shelby High to defeat the strong Clover. South Carolina, High It) to 0 here Friday afternoon. Out of the victory came a hereto fore substitute back who bids fair by another year to be one of fastest steppers that ever wore the blue jer sey of the Shelby High. Ben Hip, y he was, darting, elusive streak that got off like a comet, followed a per fect interference through or by the line, and then streaked off on a fleet, sidestepping run for gain after gain. The youngster starting h s f.rst game displayed a speed and an ability to keep going that has not been wit nessed here this year. Starring with Hippy were two other youngsters, playing their first game at the posi tions they held Friday—Cleve Cline and Louis Roberts. Cline shifted from end' to a backfield berth was a ter ror in tearing through the redleg Clover line and nabbed more for ward passes out of the air for gains than another high school back play ing here this season. Roberts substi tuting for a short period for Gard ner at center let the sidelines know that he would be a serious contender for a berth on the Wildkitten eleven at Davidson next year. However, in cooling the youngsters down and shoving them on to victory were the veterans—if a player may called that with only one year’s ex penrience. Kerr chased over two touchdowns, while Grigg, Cline Owens Lee, Peeler, Moore and Coble were the bulwarks on defense, with Beam and Whistnant tearing into the play as the game neared an end. It was an experiment eleven that Morris ran in first to replace his in jured men. Lackey went to end for Cline who was shifted to the back tfield to help plug the vacant spots i left by Whistnant and Magness. Rip py replaced the other back, und Peel er was shifted to tackle where he was a strength to the team, replacing Big John Elliott. And out of the ex periment came the cry: Watch that backfield next year—Rippy, Cline, Magness, Harris and Whisnant!” Kerr chased over Shelby’s first touchdown and the try for extra point failed. Then Rippy in two or three plays that returned a feeling of joy to the sidelines sidestepped halfway across the field for another, and Cline Owens Lee kicked the ex tra point. A short time later Kerr, the line plunger accepted Cleve Cline’s role, reached up in the air and nabbed a pass near his goal line, go ing over for the final score as the kick for goal failed. Clover in going: down displayed a fighting eleven that was dangerous to the lost, threating seriously to score on several occasions. One a fake from a punt formation gave a Clover back a getaway for a period looked to be a touchdown. Shortly afterwards a Clover back leaped into the air, in tercepted a Shelby pass and galloped on and on across the field only going down on a remarkable tackle by Peeler after the sidelines had practi cally conceded the runner a touch down. For their spirited play despite the fact they are out of the championship race the young High eleven deserves the support of the town. Despite their stunning setback by Gastonia the boys are out giving their all and with that spirit fans are predicting that Morris by next season will have a whirlwind eleven. It was perhaps the cleanest game here this season, no rough tactics be ing shown, and the boys on both teams tendering those on the oppos ing eleven every courtesy of football. Shelby (19) Pos.

A second cut "of half a day in the curtailment program of the Southern Power company, leaving a day and a half each week for the idleness of manufacturing enterprises using the company’s power, was announced Fri day in a letter sent out by C. I. Burkholder, vice president of the company. The new schedule is effec tive beginning Monday. Increased normal flow in the Ca tawba river as a result of the rain of Thursday, while not improving the head of water in the reservoirs, per mits the increased use of power, the new schedule taking into Considera tion the capacity use of the companys steam auxiliary ' plants, the letter points out. Second Increase. This is the second half-day increase jn working time of the enterprises us ing Southern power, the first hav ing been announced several days ago, following rains that also increased the normal flow of the river, without materially increasing the head of wa ter in the reservoirs. The dearth of rain during the past summer, giving a deficiency in rain fall of more than 18 inches since the first of the year, or a rainfall of slightly more than half the normal amount, necessitated the curtailment program, which soon reached two and a half days. This schedule continued for several weeks, until recently, when the first half-day was lopped off, the letter Friday announcing the second half-day, or a full day in all. “We anticipate Thursday’s rain will permit a reduction of another haif day in curtailment. We are, therefore, requesting that beginning Monday, November 16, the following curtail ment be observed,” the letter states. The schedule follows: Zone No. 4 is requested to curtail from 6 a. m.
