New Orleans. La., Dec. 7.—As yet
the cotton market shows no recuper
ative power, having ruled barely
steady, the lower prices not-with
standing owing to prospects for bet
ter weather inland, report that the
German cabinet resigned, and be
cause of uncertainty attending next
Tuesday’s Government final crop es
timate.
The Government's annual crop es
timate will be released Tuesday, Dec
ember 8th at 10 a. m. New Orleans
time, and will report as to the indi
cated yield and ginnings to Dec. 1st.
Private estimates of recognized au
thorities, by reason of their larger
estimates of late, have influenced the
trade to anticipate the probability of
a government crop forecast of about
15,500,000 bales vs Washington’s pre
vious prediction for a yield of 15,
208,000.
It is possible, however, for returns
to the Government to indicate a small
er production than the 15,293,000
predicted as of Nov-14th never-the
less. Hutton and (,'o our New York
correspondents, they estimatedd the
probable crop at 15,725,000 bales ex
clusive of linters. Last year, on Dec
ember second L. F. Hutton and Co,
estimated the crop at 13,675,009 bales
exclusive of iinters where as, at that
time, the average of private estimates
was cnly 1.3,214,(500, which was the
largest of private estimates and
nearest to the seasons final ginnings
of 13,625,000 bales, although the
.Government's1 December estimate of
that year was only 13,153,000.
In event of the government report
Of Tuesday ^Indicating a production of
1515.500.000 hales or larger,, the mar
ket will likely decline temporarily
perhaps advance if ihe forecast is for
15.300.000 bah • or less.
Meanwhile the trade is ignoring
.the enormous takings by spinners of
American cotton so far this season
5.902.000 vs 4,032,000 to even date
last year, or nearly 1,000.000 bales in
excess of one year ago of which 518,
000 were taken by mills of the world
last week vs only 426000 for corres
ponding week last year.
May Lose Sight of
Eye From Hot Spark
John Durham Withrow, ten-,
year-old son of Grady Withrow
of Hollis, may lose the sight of
an eye as a result of a hot spark
from a blacksmith's forge. Some
two or three months ago the little
fellow was passing a hlacksmitn
shop at Hollis when a red ho.
iron splinter from a well windlass
which the blacksmith was forging
flew into the young fellow’s eye.
He has been under the care of a
Charlotte specialist who removed
the iron splinter, hut now the spe

determine whether it is necessary
to remove the eye. The boy’s

1>. \V. Sims, general superintendent
ef the .North Carolina Sunday school
association might well be called the
“Billy Sunday in Sunday school work'
lor he is the premier in this work and
has a delivery and a flow of humor and
Homely expressions that drive home
his points of emphasis. His subject
Sunday night was on “Trained Ten.ti
ers,’’ how and why, in which he de
clared that if the Sunday schools are
to prosper and do their best work, the
teachers must be trained and school?
ed by experience arfd study. Goodness
of heart and purity of motives are
not alone qualifications for successful
teaching. \\ hile they are essential, the
teachers must be trained at Teacher
Training classes conducted by the
Sunday schools and by study of
literature sent out by the denomina
tional publishing boards. Mr. Sin s
held his large Sunday night audience
in rapt attention and every story he
told and illustration he gave, re-er.
orced his argument for trained teach
ers.
Miss Flora Davis, assistant worke.
in the state organization spoke at
the Sunday night program on “Story
Telling”, emphasizing the importance
if story-telling in Fne teaching of the
Sunday school lesson for, said ?he:
“A good story well told will immedi-j
etely draw attention of grown-ups as I
well as little folks. Jesus was the
world's best story teller and he often j
iesoriea 10 stories to empnasize nisi
meaning. When he was asked ‘Who is |
by neighbor’ he told the story of the j
good Samaritan.” Miss Davis indi-1
rated on the black board the four ale- i
irents of a good story and warned the
teachers never to tell the moral but!
tell tb» stofcv in such fashion that even j
a child will draw the lesson which,
the story is intended to teach.
Show Much Interest.
Approximately 25 Sunday schools
of Cleveland county were represented
at the Sunday night meeting of the j
Cleveland countv Sunday school con
vention at the Presbyterian church
here. Much interest is being shown bv !
officials and schol members ,of all j
sections of the county and the con - i
volition nromsies to be one of the best
ever held in the county.
A beneficial attraction of the meet- j
ing is the instructive work of Super
inendent D. W. Sims and his worthy j
assistants, Misses Daisy Magee and
Miss Flora Davis. Their instruction i
and advice as it touches instruction in j
the individual schools and the work1
of teachers and officials is proving j
helpful to those in attendance anti is
so imparted that it is entertaining as i
well as beneficial and useful.
Several Want Pennant.
From the attendance at the open
ing session several Sunday school,-, of
the county are apparently out to win
the attendance pennant to be award
ed to the school having the largest
lenresentative attendance considering
miles travelled. So far three Kings
Mountain churches with Bethlehem.
New Hope, Fallston Methodist and
Oak Grove appear to be taking the
lead.
At the initial meeting Munaay an:

CHRISTMAS SPIRIT
SHOWING ALREADY
Santa is in the Windows and Shelby
la Decorating Colorfully For
The Year’s Dig Event.
Only 13 more shopping days be lore
the artival of old St. Nj,ck! Get that
straight, then get out the saving
purse and get busy. A peep over busi
ness Shelby will help bring your eye
to the realization that the Yuletbii*
season is here.
Shelby is preparing, it seems, to
have a Christmas that should equal
any ever known in the city. The bril
liance of Christmas colors is already
evident on the streets a, d in display
windows, and the good-natured feed g
of Christmas cheer is abroad in the
land.
Santa peeps out of practically every
other window as you pass down the
business streets and the other win
dows are loaded with gifts that he
will bring.
Already the merchants are display
ing their holiday wares in brilliant pro
fusion, charitable organizations are
tnahwig their plans for a big Christ
mas for all—one that will spread the
cheer of the Christ Child to the homes
of the city’s poorest families. Fes
tooned light posts, vari-colored dis
play windows, the Y’uletide bell dang
ling in the family car. and the irrepres
sible fireworks beginning to sizzle and
boom.
It’s high time to shop and get readv.
The stores and business houses
have already been transformed from
their ordinary appearance into a reg
ular Snnta-land. The display perhaps
is not complete, but practically every
store is loaded for the shoppers and
prepared to take care of the last rush
of the 15 day shopping period. Window
decorators are vicing with each other
in catching the eye of the boy looking
for his present, the eye of the mother
scouting for Christmas for the fam
ily. Dolls, the delight of girlhood, can
be seen in many windows—Dolls
some way go with Christmas and San
ta without a‘doll to the little girls
would be a mean, mean man. ToylanJ
basements are overflowing. In them
ere everything and more that a child
could wish.
Christmas is first for the children,
rather they get the spirit first and
enthiise moreover it, but their enthu
siasm soon spreads and catches, until
it envelopes the entire family, and
knowing this Shelby merchants are
ready.
Just 15 days! The merchants are
scady, the spirit is here, an:l don't for
get the same early bird that got the
worm in 1924 will stand a good chance
of taking this one. Prove it to your
self that the great birthday season is
just around the corner; take a shop
ping tour to see what’s going on and
don't buy a thing—if you can help it
Early Morn Blaze
In Shelby Cafe
Prove* Damaging
An early morning blaze at the
Shelby Quick Lunch on West Warren
street in the McKnight building Sun
day morning resulted in a damage
near the $2,000 mark, it is thought.
The fire was discovered about 6:45
and the fire department called, some
of the damage >esulting from smoke
•and water in extinguishing the blaze.
The exact origin of the fire is un
known. unless it started from a stove
in the front of the building. The cafe
closed about midnight Saturday and
John Haney, cook, coming to work
early Sunday morning discovered the
smoldering fire within. It is thought
the fire had been smoldering for three
or four hours, and when fire fighters
opened the rear dor the flames buist
forth with the gust of air fanning
their spread.
The building, owned by Mr. John
S. McKnight, was damaged to the
extent of about $600 or $700, which is
said to be covered by insurance. The
cafe stock, owned by Clarence Sypsos
was probably damaged about $600 to
SI,000. The cafe will be reopened it
is said in about one week’s time.
Another Alarm.
Friday night the fire denartment
answered an alarm to the Eskridge
garage on West Marion street, where
the automatic sprinkler alarm had
sounded because of low pressure,
there being no fire.
To Pull Out Of
Mud Try This
When your car gets stuck in
the mud and the rear wheels
merely spin around and your
friends advise you to call for
help, get a bunch of newspapers
slip them under Ae rear wheels
turn on the juice and see the
car come out of the mire. News
papers are great uplifters. When
your business gets into a rut,
the newspapers will help you
out if you use the advertising
columns. Great is the power of

State Fire Loss Shows Decrease In
October. Far Below Last Year
Figures. Shelby On Honor
Boll.
Raleigh, Dec. 5.—North Carolina's
fire loss during October of this year
was almost $100,000 less than dur
ing October, 1924, ami was more than
$40,000 less than during October,
1923, the monthly report of fire loss
issued today by the State Insurance
Department shows.
The report was 'issued late, it was
explained at the Insurance Depart
ment, due to the belated vacation of
Andrews Joyner, publicity director
and statistician of the department
who hus just returned from his vaca
tion.
The exact figures from the three
Octobers are: October, 1923, $323,
053; October, 1924, $331,981 and
October 1925, $282,064.
Of the total loss during October,
*ast, $180,650 was due to nine fires
The remaining 103 fires caused a loss
of only $101,414, or an average loss
of $620 per fire. The'latter figure
includes all fires where the loss was
less than $5,000.
The heaviest ions of the month
was at Oxford, where a fire in a
hosiery mill caused damage of $55,
000; the next largest loss was caused
by a store fire at Winston-Salem,
with a loss of $49,'200; a veneer plant
at Edent<m came third, with a loss
of $22,000.
nsuie iroii’ s ires m vvinston-aaioni
and Durham—one for each city—
there was not a single fire loss in
any of the larger cities of the State
amounting to more than $5,000.
While there were many fires in
the State during toe month, Com
missioner Starry \V. Wade takes
pride in the records made by Char
lotte, Wilmington, Greensboro, Rocky
Mount, Raleigh and High Point,
where the combined loss for October
was $27,595, or an average per city
of $ 1,500. In this class, Asheville
holds first place, with a total loss of
$1,300 for the month. Records made
by other cities, which arc noted by the
report include those of Goldsboro,
$400 loss; Washington, $220; Kins
ton, $50; New Bern, $160; Lumber
ton, $300; Salisbury, $580; Lexing
ton, $200; Gastoti'a, $1,600; Eliza
beth City $1,400; Hickory, $2000 and
Dunn $10.
The following points had no fire
during the month, and are placed
on the department’s honor roll:
Greenville, Roxhoro. Waynesville,
Clinton, Sanford, Lincolnton Mar
ion, Shelby, Graham, Ayden Elkin
Smithfield, Mount Airy, Raeford,

Standard College and High School
Students Must Devote Less Time
To Their Training.
With a feeling that too much at
tention is given to athletics in the
colleges and high schools of the south
officials of the Southern Association
of Standard colleges and high schools
I P'n«*d restrictions around the' ath
| let *s at their meeting in Charleston,
I S. ( last week, according to Supt. I.
< (iriffin of the Shelby high school
who has just returned from the meet
ing. Their action is of utmost im
portance in North Carolina tvhero
there are 77 colleges and high schools
holding membership in this associa
tion, said association having for its
I Purport* the adoption of fixed stand
ards in the physical training ard
I equipment as well as in the courses
'< of study that tire followed. The
Shelby High school is a standard in
stitution so the ruling adopted by the
Southern Association applies to the
I Shelby High as well as to 76 ether
. standard colleges and high schools i«
North Carolina.
Practice Only Two Hours
One of the most important rulings
oi the association is to litpit the jirac
tice and training to two hours daily.
To give more time than this to phy
| ; ieal training is looked upon as inter
| fering with the mental training of
students. There has been a tendency
| among some of the colleges and high
schools to turn the athletes over to
the coaches for unlimited time, Ihus
neglecting the mental training for
which the institutions were establish
ed. It is felt that the schools would
give so much time to sports will re
sent this restriction, bat the school
authorities have felt that it is nec
rs™'.v. II mere lore applies to all
standard schools which constitute the
majority of the institutions all of
which Rive attention to athletics.
Further than this, no student will
be allowed to be away from school
more than five days during any term
on account of athletic games. Fresh
man teams at colleges will not he
allowed to play more than one game
each term away from the home
ground. Recently the freshmen teams
at colleges have played regular sche
dules of baseball and football, much
to the neglect (of their studies, but
I this will not be permitted in the fu
] ture.
To Teach Bible.
The Bible will be substituted to a
large extent for athletics. The asso
ciation voted to offer course in Bible
in the various member colleges and
high schools and give credit for the
same just as is given for any other
study.
