Cotton Report
Due Tomorrow
Indicated Ginning to November It, of
12,430,000 Bales. Grade has De
terioated Somewhat.
(By R. J. McCarley's private wire,
,\ew York, New Orleans and Chicago).
New Orleans, La., Nov. 18.— The
cotton market ruled easier and some
what lower today owing to lower
cables than due, additional large crop
estimates, small exports from the U.
ft. for the day and prospects for bet
ter weather for the western half of
the belt.
Returns to the census bureau show
that linters produced to the close of
October—this season totalled 274,000
bale? against 203,000 for same period
last season, and that the stock on
hand at the end of October was 80,
000 bales of linters compared with
109.000 on corresponding date last
year.
Returns to the Fossick bu.eau, Mem
phis, Tenn., indicated that 12,450,000
bales were ginned to November 14,
against 11,162,000 to same date lust
season, which would allow for about
1.251.000 for the period, November 1
to 14 against 1,446,000 one year ago.
As to the crop, their returns indicate
a yield of 15,444,000 bales. Their pre
vious estimates, when the govern
ment was 15,386,000 bales, was 15,
100,000.
Private crop estimates, issued so
far range from 14,812,000 bales to 15.
■144,000. averaging 15,076,000, and pri
vate estimates, as to ginnings to No
vember 14th range from 11,980,000 to
12.476,000, averaging 12,319,000.
Owing to so much reported as to
damage by rains, sentiment is affect
ed by climatic developments inland.
Ihe weather was unfavorable in. the
central and western portions of belt!
ever night, but better weather is i:i
iheated for those sections tomorrow.
A sustaining feature in addition to
lowering of grade by recent rains, is j
the small certificated stock here and
Vi New York, which places ihe Decem
ber option in a strong position.
The certificated stock in New Or
leans yseterday Was only 6.484 bales i
/gainst 32,371 last year. In New York i
November 12th the certificated stock
was only 29,797 bales against 168,683 j
on November 10th last year.
For the time being, however, the ■
market will be influenced mainly by
iveiling up in advance of next Satur
day's government crop forecast. The
government report will be released at j
10 a. m., New Orleans time, Novem- [
Ler 21st. *■
Compared with last season, experts
fiom the U. S. today were 6,000 bales
against 38,000, since Friday 317,000
against 344,000, since August Is; 3,
142.000 against 2,706,000.

To present indications point to in
dustrial* progress during the coming
year, or vyill industry lag?. Will labor
be faced wih unemployment next

The department has compressed its
inquiries into four questions which the
chambers of commerce over the state

guestions follow:
1. What are the industrial pros-'
poets for the coming year in your |
community? Will there be as great or i
greated demand for unskilled labor ir.'
1926 as in 1925?
2. What are the prospects for 1926
building construction? Will it afford)
steady employment to all the building
craftsmen in your community?
g. Will there be an increase in the
amount of public work in your com
munity over that of 1925? How much
money will be spent on such work?
4. What is the attitude of the
farmers of your community? Will
these increase or decrease the acre
age in 1926?
Replies to the inquiries already com
ing in and Frank D. Grist commission
er of labor and printing, states that in
toe main the replies are detailed, intel j
ligent, and distinctly optimistic |
throughout. j
From the replies from the chamber? i
of commerce from all over the state,;
Mr. Grist plans to issue a eomprehen '
sive* industrial review sometime next
month.
This service, the commissioner be
lieves. will be of real value to the busi
ness and labor interests of the state,
end he believes that the survey idea !?
unique, at least so far as North Caro
lina is concerned.

McCarley’s Son Stars
In Football World i
When Columbia, S. C.„ Highs de
feated Camden the other day for the
district football title in that state a !
future Shelby boy, D. McCarley, cap- j
tain of the Columbia eleven was the !
star and is heralded as the high school j
“Red” Grange of that state. Young ;
McCarley is the son of Mr. and Mrs.;
R. J. McCarley, who heads the local!
cotton office of H. and B. Beer. Young j
McCarley was left in schol there when
his parents moved here so that he
might play as captain this season.
In the game with Camden the
youngster chased over three touch
downs himself, kicked two goals after
touchdown and dropped a placem • it
kick through the posts for a field j
goal. Really sounds like a young
Grange will join his parents here soon.

Another Car Stolen
From Parking Pl^ce
Near Theatre Here
Add another car to the theatre
list. Automobile thieves of this
section wouldn’t steal a car unless
it was parked near a theatre, or
so it seems, since practically every
car stolen in Shelby was taken
while the owners were in a thea
tre.
This time a theatre employe is
the victim. Guy Webb, machine
operator at the Princess, parked
his Ford roadster at the curb
near the entrance Thursday even
ing about C>:.'iO, walked in the
theatre and returned about 10
minutes later to find that the car
was gone.
So far there is no trace of the
missing automobile. Only last
week the Hudson Coach of J. S,
Willard was taken from its park
ing place near the same theatre
and in recent months several cars
have been stolen from their park
ing places near Shelby’s two
theatres.
The solution for Shelby folks
seems to be taking the auto in the
show, or leaving someone to guard
it. Some are suggesting that the
city authorities when they pur
chased the electric traffic signal
system should all have ordered
some device to station near the
theatres to protect automobiles
of theatre-goers.
BAPTISTS ELATED
M DUKE GIFT
•
Action of Baptist Convention in Char
lotte and Duke Gift Sole Topic
of Conversation
Wake Forest. Nov. 19.—The appar
ent Wake Forest victory in the Bap
tist State convention in Charlotte yes
terday. and the Duke gift to the col
lege equivalent to $150,000 has been
the sole topic of conversation on the
Baptist campus today.
The noticeable feeling of anxiety
over the outcome of the convention,
which has eristed here since the op
ening of the fall term, was thrown off
when it was learned that the college
was not attacked and that President
Poteat came out unscathed.
The student body bad sent a dele
gation to Charlotte with over 500 rig
natures of Wake Forest students to
an endorsement of the high Christian
character of Dr. Poteat.
Students, professors and townspeo
ple here are loud in their praise of Dr.
J W. Lynch and Dr. J. A. MeMiiUin
for the part they played in the out
come o fthe convention. Dr. Lynch,
teacher of Bible here, was largely re
sponsible for the Duke gift through his
personal friendship with the financier
and his ability to set fortn the needs
of the institution. Mr. McMillan had
been untiring in his efforts at getting
(he alumni of the college organized
before the convention.
Today, in chapel prayer was offer
ed for Mr. Duke, who is sick at his
home.

YOUTHFUL WITNESS
Wull.r Bridgeman and Bradford Wil
son Meld in Connection With the
l.arceny of Willard's Car.
In recorder's court Thursday mbin
ing a youth, Bradford Wilson, of F< r
est City, t«>!d of a life of crime that
i« perhaps unequalled by any other H>
year-old boy in this section. The re
hearsal ranged from the larceny of
automobiles to breaking in a swim
ming pool, an unheard of escapade
here.
Wilson was used as a state's vvit
ners against his buddy. Walter (Fas
ter ) Bridgeman, of South Shelby, in
connection with the larceny recently
of a Hudson coach, the property of J
S. Willard. The automobile was taken
from its parking place near the Prin
cess theatre here and found the next
day near Spartanburg, S. where
ii had been abandoned by the boys.
Hot Three Cars.
According to Wilson tne car was I
taken from its parking place by Bridge
man, who came to his home in Forest :
City, in the car and asked Wilson to j
accompany him. The car became hot
on the trip to Spartanburg and they j
abandoned it near Cherokee Springs.
Wilson said, after they thought it was
out of oil. In Spartanburg they secur
ed another car, a Buiek, which Bridge
man said belonged to his brother, ac
cording to Wilson. At Gaffney they
left the Buick. talked over taking a
Nash and finally departed Gaffney for
Shelby in a Ford roadster. Wilson says
hi dropped Bridgeman in South Shelby
and drove the roadster on to a color
ed suburb at Forest City, where ho
left it. Three cars in two days was the
haul of the two boys according to the !
ycuth.
Asked where he first met Bridge
nan, Wilson replied: “In the Ruther
ford jail.”
Both boys were in jail there for
stealing cars, it is said, and while
j (here Wilson testified that Bridgeman
talked of getting other cars when they
got out, and the first car was taken
not long after they were freed.
At the end of his testimony Wilson
[was questioned by Solicitor Burrus and
! asked how many times he had been in
trouble. The boy began his narrative
by saying “I broke into the Farmers
Hardware at Forest City night before
last and gota bunch of jur.k,” Ques
tioning brought out the fact that the
junk consisted of money, guns, cart
ridges and other sunplies carried in
a hardware store. Being questioned
further, Wilson admitted that he had
taken a car once before and was in
[ jail about it, meeting Bridgeman while
there. Using his memory to recall
more of his past the boy stated that
he had been in trouble once for fight
ing and on another occasion for break
ing in a swimming pool, meaning the
bath house where bathing suits were
kept.
Bridgeman did not testify and at the
conclusion of VV'ilson’s testimony So
licitor Burrus asked that Wilson also
be held, and Judge Mull ordered both
boys returned to jail in default of a
$300 bond each to Superior court.
Wilson told the court that he would
r.pt be prosecuted for entering the
hardware store at Forest City, as he
had informed the owner where the
stolen articles were hidden, but it has
been learned that he is wanted there
when the local court gets through
with him. -
The witness contended that he did
not know the Willard car had been
stolen and thut Bridgeman told him
that it belonged to his brother. Ho
first became suspicious, he said, when
Bridgeman stopped somewhere down
the South Carolina road, jumped out
and hid in the briars while a car pass
ed. However, he admitted driving both i
of the other cars and that he took j
the Gaffney roadster on with him to
Forest. City.
Jimmy Siceloff at the same session j
of court was fined $150 for an assault
with a deadly weapon and $50 for
carrying a concealed weapon. Carey
C. Boshamer with whom Siceloff en
gaged in an argument was fined $25.

Raleigh Officer Who Killed Stephen
Holt Will be Sentenced in Decem
ber. Appeal is Likely.
Raleigh, Nov. 19.—A Durham
county jury here last night declared
Jesse H. Wyatt, on trial for the mur
der of Stephen H. Holt, guilty of man
slaughter and recommended mercy.
The verdict was rendered at 11:19
o’clock, after the jury hud been out
two hours and twenty minutes.
Prayer for judgment was continued
by Judge Garland Midyette until the
December term of Wake superior
court, as was Wyatt’s bond of $1C,
000. The minimum penalty for man
slaughter is four months in the county
jail; the maximum is twenty yearn in
the state prison.
A small crowd which remained in
the courtroom awaiting the verdict
was present when the jury announced
its verdict. With the defendant were
his wife and seven children.
May Appeal.
Tlie continuance until the Decem
ber term of court stayed other mo-1
turns and the attorneys for the de
fense may. in the meanwhile, aermc
whether or not they wish to take an
appeal.
Solicitor W. E. Evans,-who had ask
ed for niurder in the second degree,
expressed satisfaction with the ver
dict. A principle has been vindicated,
and the state is satisfied,-’ he declar
ed. He did not oppose the continuation.1
Yesterday the jury heard the ar
guments of James 11. Pou, W. B. Jones
and Banks Arrendale, for the defense,
and Solicitor W. F. Evans and H. (5.
Hedrick, of Durham, for the stae.
Judge Midyette's charge to the iury
was not delivered until last night.
Judge's Charge.
Judge Midyette charged the jury
that Wyatt had a right to make the
arrest without a warrant if he had
reason to believe the occupants of the
era in which Stephen H. Holt. Smith
field attorney, was riding at the time
a bullet from Wyatt’s pistol killed him
were transporting whiskey; but that
he had no right to shoot at the defen
dant, “in order to bring to justice" a
man on “so trivial an offense as a mis
demeanor.” The defendant, while on
duty, the judge charged, had a right
to carry the pistol; and “within certain
bounds” had a right to fire it as a sig
nal, as contended, “but he must have
done so prudently and carefully.”
The shooting occurred on June 4.
Holt was killed by a bullet from Hy
atts gun. The latter, he said, believing
the car contained whiskey, fired as a
signal to an officer farther along the
road. The state contended that the
gun was fired directly at the car; de
fense witnesses and attorneys main
tained that the gun was fired at the
ground and the bullet glanced r d
struck Holt.
Once was Enough.
Barber: “Shull 1 go over that chin
again, sir?”’
Victim; “No, I heard it all the first
lime.”

Robber Caught
Store Breaking
'0,,nK N<‘jrro Captured After he En
tered I. H. Lowery and Co. Store
At Patterson Springs.
I>. Hamrick, 18 year old negro boy,
son of Dock Hamrick who lives on the
Hugh Borders plantation will be given
n preliminary hearing early next week
lor store breaking, the negro having
! eon caught in the store about 2
o’clock Tuesday morning. For some
time the Lowery brothers who run the
IVtterson Springs store have been
missing money and merchandise but
just how the store was entered was
hard to find out. It was thought for
awhile that the robber was using a
skeleton key and gaining an entrance
through the front door, but the youth
ful negro had a shrewder scheme than
this. He would go to the store late at
night, raise a window and with a five
foot pole, reach the bar across the
door, life it from its brackets and en
ter. After he had stolen whut merrhan
rise he wanted and what little money
was left out of the safe, he would
ioop a string around the door bar, pull
the double doors shut and with the
itring through the crack, lift the bar
heck in place to cover up any evidence
thta the store had been entered,
cept for the missing merchandise and
money.
Failed Sunday Night.
This sort of robbery cotinued for
H.me time until Lowery brothers fin
ally secured Detective J. L. Thomason
o' Charlotte. Last Sunday night while
Detective Thomason and Jesse Lowtry
i member of the firm of T. H. Lowery
and Co., were in the store awaiting de
vrlnpments, the negro visited the
store about 11 o’clock and undertook
to gain entrance in his usual way, but
the bar was so tight he could not lift
it with his five-foot pole. Failing to
gain entrance to the store he went to
the home of Mrs. T. H. Lowery near
bt and tried to gain entrance thruogh
iht back screen door and again
through a kitchen window, but failed.
The men waiting for him in the store
knew nothing of his attempt to break
into the dwelling until next morning.
Caught Red-Handed.
Monday night Fields Young of
Shelby, a brother-in-law of the Low
crys volunteered to watch m the store
with Detective Thomason. It was
nearly two o’clock this time before the
negro came and undertook to work his
usual trick. This time the door bar had
been left loose and soon the negro was
in the store. When he was about mid
way of the long brick store building.
Detective Thomason and Mr. Young
turned on the electric lights and cov
ered the robber with revolvers. The
negro pleaded with them not to shoot
and after being placed under arrest,
he admitted having previously entered
the store.
He w'a$ placed in jail early Tuesday
morning to await a hearing to be giv
en him this week.
Hickory Want* To
Defeat Local Team
Coach Casey Morris and his Shel
by Highs are in Hickory this after
noon for a game with the strong Hick
cry eleven.
So far no contest has been arranged
for Thanksgiving day, but many fans
are nnxious that one be staged here
for the fans who will havfc a holiday
and wish to see the Shelby squad
in action.
At Hickory today the entire Hick
ory team has. been appointed to
tramp the Shelby eleven. Hickory
hasn’t forgotten the time Shelby
handed their wander outfit last yeah,
or so reads the following item from
Hickory: “The entire student body at
the local high school has gone wild
over the prospects of the fastest game
of fotball ever seen in Hickory, when
Walling’s “Little Wonders” meet
‘Casey’ Morris’ fast Shelby Highs,
Cvys of ‘Go Get Shelby’ and ‘Eat ’em
up. Kids’ have been heard at the high
schol all week. They have a right to
be enthused, for Shelby is the team
that held last year’s team to a 0-0 tie,
and everybody is out for revenge. The
team is in the best condition so far
this season and will do their best to
hang up another victory. This n%l he
Hickory’s next to last time to see her
own team in action, so here’s your,
cnance.”
Very Vicious Looking.
Some women visitors were going
through a penitentiary under the es
cort of the superintendent. They
came to a room where throe worsen
