SH OO Old Phil First Darky In State To Receive Pension Tension For Colored Man Sets Precedent State Auditor Thinks. Old Fellow Joyful. Old Phil Roseboro, 87-year-old peer i,l faithful negro servants of bygone •< jvil war times, is joyful today. After i ps and downs, refusals and reier ti .ns, he w ill within a few days get liis pension check from the state of North Carolina, rewarding him for his faithful service to ‘‘his folks'’ and the Confederate colors long years ago. The check when it is cashed will set a precedent, or so State Auditor Bax ter Durham thinks. In the auditor’, ivmory no colored man has ever re dived a pension from the state of North Carolina for services in *he War between the States. No colored man was enlisted in the Southern forces, yet quite a number like Old Phil, a character about Shelby, sens ed with their masters through loyalty to the traditions of the old Southland. Writing to Hon. Clyde R. Hoey, who las worked in behalf of the polite, old-time darky, Auditor Durham dates that there is no provision for colored men whereby they could re t ive pension. None were enlisted, Put cases have come up showing real service and loyalty that should be re warded. After reviewing Phil’s case, Mr. Durham concluded that his re cord was unequalled and writes chat he is mailing a check to Clerk of 'Court George P. Webb, the check com ing under a special provisional clause of the pensiort act. Months back Shelby people heard old Phil's story and someone iu-lned him make application for a pension. Then for months tRe old fellow work ed as best he could and waited. Chrbt mas and cold weather came, but no < heck, Then the word tiled it would not come. Age and years of toil had almost stopped the faithful old fellow, ife received aid from the Yuletiue charity fund, but he needed more. Then Wednesday morning came mes sage that after all he would be re warded. Axe on shoulder, ns he Was pictured, in the first relation of 1 is unusual Story. Phil heard the news. At the time he was seeking blankets to keep him from freezing during the cold night hours and as it dawned on his mind that he was to receive a real check—a big one to him—he forgo* the blankets and the cold, forgot the herd spots of life, and the wrinkled < Id lips quivered out: “Boss, the good white folks ain’t gonner fergit < Id Phil atter all, is dey? The old Missus would h bin glad ter take keer of me. t ut she done gone, and now de> s a helpin’ me.” He couldn’t say any more. Joy not known Tn years, mixed with a tear or two. creeping over the aging face, prevented it. Phil was a proud young negro when he stood straight up and dashed across the 1 reastworks with his “Captin" during the war, but he was prouder Wednes day. News stories telling of his record and published in The Star had been forwarded to Raleigh, and Aud tor Durham remarked that he had never heard of such a loyal service. Others Get Pension. Along with the message canv the news that several others left off the first pension list would in all prob ability receive their checks at tiib same time. They were T. H. Potent, white veteran, and two other old t’m'e darkies, Sam C’abanis and James Rice. Crab Fishing Good. Washington.—Crab fishing off the Virginia and Maryland coasts is in danger of becoming an extinct in dustry, it was shown today in reports sent to the governors of both states and to Secretary Hoover by the bu reau of fisheries.

B. Smith, superintendent of public welfare for Cleveland county, icports that crimes of youth in this bailiwick have deminished iqjtil not a ease of youthful delinquency has been > reported over a period of two months. At the same time, however, Mr. Smith reported that there is an ac-j ''derated tendency in this community for children to quit school fhid go to work. Accoring to this official, the number of children between the ages of fourteen and fiteen that have left their school desks for jobs, has m vruv.ed ftwi fatly h tiff, p-n ■ en ■luring- the last six months. -I account for this latter-.condition through the financial pinch due to circumstances which came as a re sult of the drought,” Mr. Smith said. -The curtailment of mill work, due .o shortage of power, brought a lessen ing of income which apparently has been felt in many homes, income on many farms. “In the face of these conditions,” Mr. Smith went on, ‘“it is gratifying lo say that juvenile crime in the the courty has been reduced practically to nil. We have not had a case of child delinquency for two months. “While authorities in other parts of the country are exercised over the tendency of youth to balk at restraint conditions here with us in this paiti ii)lai -ete novel more favoialjle,” bin ram DEATHS 19 i. 8 2.‘>2 .More Births in 1925 Than Deaths In Shelby and No. tj. Hate of Over One Each Day. There is no race suicide in Shelby, or in good old No. 0, or any indication of it. Also it is not apparent that the birth control propaganda of Mrs. Sanger has penetrated to these parts. As evidence, here are the vital statistics for the past good year of 1925 for Shelby and the town ship: Births in Shelby during 1925— 200. Deaths 75. Births in No. f> township exclu sive of Shelby, 184. Deaths 57. Total births for the two sec tions for the year—384. Total deaths—132. Which is to say, the births ex ceeded the deaths by the com Por table total of 252. Considering the total for the city and the township, there w’.v* a birth for every day of the 12 months, with 19 to spare. Authorities here, versed in these figures, assert that certain residents of France, alarmed by the birth decline in that country, might profitably pay a visit to Cleveland county. Johnson Now Owns All Home Provision E. H. Johnson has purchased the W. E. Crowder interest in the Heme Provision Company, it was announc ed early in the week. Mr. Johnson is now sole proprietor of'the enterprise. Mr. Crowder bought a half inter est in the business about a year and a half ago, becoming a partner of Mr. Johnson. ,\t the same time he maintained a half interest in the Sanitary Market. He is now a palt rier in the latter enterprise wit* E. Corley, who came to Shelby from South Carolina, It was stated at the Sanitary Mar ket Tuesday that the partnership in that establishment will be maintain ed as formerly. Fire Destroys Home On Suttle Street Fire at 10 o’clock Tuesday night completely destroyed the dwelling on Suttle street, owned by J. F. Harris, and rented by the Eastside mill. The Joyce family, members of which were employed in the mill, lived ii the house. No one was in the house at tPe time the blaze started. When the Shelby fire department reached the scene, it v.as discovered the house was beyond the hydrant limit. The firemen de voted their efforts to saving the ef fects from the burning dwelling, and to preventing the house next door, owned by Arthur Easter, from catch ing. Mr. Harris the owner, stated Wed nesday that the dwelling was insured tor $500.00 and was built in 1921.

We therefore pad mure time to digest the business.” Mr. Quinn went on *o say that - might be believed thpt the increased post-office, business was due to the increased pw.tage rat. .

Of this -urn we have calculated that from five to six hundred dollars may be allowed as the figure representing the added cost. The remaining thirty nine hundred fir four thousand dollars was a clear-cut increase in business.” Just prior to the Christmas holi days two post'oJfice inspectors visited the Shelby postoffice and parked there for a number of days, going thoroughly into the question of local service to deteftnine whether or not to allow Mr. Quinn more help. "But the visit of these men had a very beneficial influence,” said the postmaster. They were inspectors of | vast experience, and were able to show us here how to revise our me thods to get very utmost service !from the force we employ.

Tonis, sup erintendent of the water and light sys tem of the city, is in the Shelby hos-j pital. suffering severely from burns received Monday while engage.1 on job repairing the heating system at the Ella mil). Mr. Toms is chief machinist at the mill, which is owned by the Consoli dated Textile corporation. Monday afternoon he undertook the •b’h of making a repair upon the heating system and was given to un derstand when lie started the work, it is said, that the steam pressure had been cut off. But a mistake was made, and the full pressure was still on when he removed a piston front i re of the pumps. So great was the pressure in the pines that when the machinist had partially removed the piston, it blew out the threads, the bolt hitting him with sn.ch force as to knock him down. Simultaneously a three-inch jet of live steam and hot water spurted fiom the pipe, striking Mr. Tams about the legs and arms, scalding him severely. His injuries were made the more painful by the fact that the woolen garments he wore clung to his flesh, as though stuck with glue. The injur ed man was rushed to the hospital, where it was said Wednesday he w. s resting easily and doing as well as could be expected under the eircni.- . stances. j Mr. Toms is married and has two children.

It is estimated by leading farmers of CU vcland that such weather pre diets a good crop year, and on the edi torial page of today’s Star F.

Deputy Mike Austell and Claud-! Harrill returned Tuesday night from Xenia, Ohio, with Lee Cody and Crawford Deane young white men wanted here in connection with the < crape of Dillard Deane from the local chain gang last September. Teh two men are no wlodged in 'he county jail and will perhaps be giv en a preliminary hearing before Re - order Mull Wednesday afternoon or 1 hursday. The warrants charge them with a felony under prison breach, and conviction means a sentence of not less than four years at hard la bor in the state prison, according to Solicitor Burros. i'.n route here officers say the two men refused to say anything about the charge, contending that they knew nothing of the escape, or re fusing to talk at all. Young Deane al>>n refused to eat while on the trip,, it is said. It will be remembered that Dillard Deane, serving a two-year sentence on the gang for attempted criminal assault, escaped in September by the reported aid of robed men, who held up the guard with a gun. Last week in Fairfield, Ohio, where the boys were living under an assum ed name a boarder dt the house where the two Deane boys lived missed !i 200. The elder Deane was suspected, but somehow made his get-away. The younger brother was arrested and aft er questioning told where his home was. Sheriff Rhyne at Gastonia was notified and he in turn notified local officers, who wired back to get both Deanes and Cody if he was ip tile section. Cody at the time of his arrest was trying to get the younger Def.nc out of the county-seat jail at Xenia, ..nd he also was going under assumed name, Deputy Austell says. Cody na passing as Lee Goforth; Crowford Deane as James Crawford, and Ralph Dillard Deane as Ralph Kennedy. The officers stated that en route I Cody,, who did not seeni to be worried, aid: “They might find me guilty but somebody will have to swear a lie." The two men are being confined in separate cells at the jail and what they will have to tel! in the hearing is being awaited with much interest. Dewitt R. Porter, aged 28, well 1 nown young business man of Blacks burg, S. C., and a nephew of Mrs. Charles L. Eskridge, of Shelby, was killed Monday night in an automobile accident near West Palm Beach, Fla., according to .messages received here. From reports it is understood that young Porter, who was known it Shelby, and was engaged in construc tion work there, had been into the city l for the camp mail, and was returning when his car turned turtle after leav ing the paveemnt and striking the loose sand of the road bed. Mr. and Mrs, Eskridge were in i Blacksburg Tuesday and according to Mr. Eskridge tbe body will arrive I there Wednesday accompanied by the youth's unde, E. E. Porter, who was in Florida. Funeral services will bo . held sometime Thursday. Mr. Porter had been in Florida for some time, having ber, engaged in railroad construction work as as sistant superintendent of a construc tion company. He is survived by his | mother, Mrs. Grace Porter, of Blacks burg; a brother, Fred Porter of Washi jington, D. C., and two sisters, Miss j Gladys Porter, a teacher in the Ashe jville schools, and Miss Lurline Por ter, a student at Winthrop college, Rock Hill, S. C. No Big Thrills Happening Recently Fireside Discussion Is Of Snow In the absence of current thrillers, the weather has ben the chief topic j of conversation hereabouts during the j week. The lingering of the snow in the local environs, and the continua tion of the bone-chilling air has furn ished the kick to the small talk. According to conditions revealed by the general weather table, the local thermometers fail to record the full story of the wintry visitation. Mr. K belt oft, local weather authority, re ported' Tuesday morning a minimum temperature (at six o’clock) of 34 de crees. However, the minimum at the Ashe ville the same day was indicated as 16, and that at Charlotte 22. As Shel by lies between these two points, and the temperature ot the good city is supposed to represent a mean between t i t'e.-? < f.\ut*rue it Appeals the OCni thermometers have' either failed ill accuracy, or' there is a streak of lo cal weather in these hills, which ex ists independent of surrounding con ditions. The continuation of the snow on tha Shelby landscape, in the teeth so to speak, of a hundred per cent of sun shine Monday and Tuesday, would indicate, it is said, a very chill con dition of the atmosphere prevails. Travelers coming to Shelby report that the recent snow fall was much heavier to the eastward of the city than immediately hereabouts. Mr. G. \\ . Neely, manager of Efird’s, return eu home Tuesday from a trip to Hun tersville. and reported that there was jfeur times the quantity of snow in [that section as in Cleveland county.
