Several reels of the film Charlie Chaplin in the “Gold Rash” were burn el and other damage resulted Satur day evening from a small fire that started in the Princess theatre shortly after 6 o’clock. Ti e fire, hieh started in the opera tors room, created quite a bit of ex citeemnt and quite a large crowd gsth crcd at the scene as firemen and oth ers extinguished the blaze with chem icals. Mr. Zcb Beam, one of the owners, was operating the machine at the tin\e when the blaze suddenly leaped out of the machine. Those in the theatre were warned of the blaze and the alarm turned in as the result of which there were no serious mishaps. The burning film in the opertors room created a considerable gas that handicapped the work of extinguish ing the fire. Lights and a lantern failed to burn in the room owing to gas and \V. D. Babington, jr., one of the volunteer firemen, was overcome with the fumes shortly after enter ing the room. A line of hose was placed to the top of the big theatre building and play ed over portions likely to catch from the inside, while George Smyrr.ies made liis way through the smoke to the room and completely doused the remaining blaze. The blaze was not so serious as it locked the rolls of smoke from the celluloid films giving it the appear ance of a big fire. Announcement from the theatre Monday was to the effect that the show would be back in operation during the day, although it was im possible to continue the regular show Saturday evening and night. The damage according to Mr. Zeb Beam was slight other than the burn ed reels.

HATS ALL IN CUR FALL AND WINTER STOCK REDUCED TO HALF THEIR FORMER PRICES. BETTER NOT MISS THESE RARE 1 BARGAINS. J. C. McNEELY COMPANY STYLE — QUALITY — SERVICE k BViftar : i ^ e f PLAYING WITH MONEY The most expensive sport in America today is speculating with hard earned money. A billion dollars was actually lost last year in fake schemes. It wasn’t all lost in oil wells either. A lot of it was lost in real estate, which most people regard as one of the soundest investments. REMEMBEE —- A real estate specu lation is as bad as a dry oil well if you lose your money. And you will lose unless the property you buy is worth what you pay for it. There is a way to determine the real value of a piece of property—even in a boom. The man who puts his money into real estate without trying to find out the real value invites disaster. Before you go into wild-cat specula tion. come into this bank and talk it over with us. lational Bank SHELBY, N. C. Capital, Surplus And Profits $660,000.00. i •fi |i i PI ■ < ■ i \ ) j i Banks always tell people to save— As if forming the savings habit were like pressing a button. It is hard work to save— At first. In fact it never becomes exactly easy to save. But, with every hundred dollars sav ed, we find our desire for extravagance becoming less intense. We take more and more pleasure in seeing the balance grow. And we learn and practice new eco nomics. To that extent it becomes easier. Bankers know it isn't easy to save. If they themselves have accumulated money, most of them did it by saving and wisely investing. It pays to save. The savings depart ments of our banks (including branches) pay four per cent interest on savings, com pounded each three months. Our interest, alone, will double your savings in seven teen years and a half. UNION TRUST CO. Shelby — LaUimore — Lawndale — Fallston ■' - mLI ± jbp ■hj .w'j i±h"i.j ‘ADVERTISING GETS VISIBLE RESULTS
