Work To Begin In Early Spring. Announcement may be made by the (,tv at some early date concerning th'* location the authorities will choose for the site of the new water plant A.- things now stand, there is sdi.it* uncertainty as to exactly where the plant will be placed. Generally speaking the sites con quered have been narrowed down to two or three. One possible location i-. a rite somewhere in the vicinity of West Marion street. That would be a c tral point, and from several p. of view very desirable. But on the other hdnd there is one major d: a ve to ,.k to that particular location and that is this: It reposes in the fact that if th< plant is placed there, a pipe line will |,o run all the way from the mouth of ll.ndricks’ branch to a point below the intake for the new basis. Any in take for the new plant, the autbori t ,, explain, will have to be placed above the point where this branch flows into the river, for the reason that it may carry sewage. So that, with that positive fact i i mind, it may be the new plant will be entirely located in its entirety above the branch intake. A spot the city authorities consider to he very favorable, is at Chape!;* Ic o. Placed there, just below the month of the branch in question-, the intake could be placed above the m< uth of the branch without much extern un of pipe line. A third location considered i- a point well above Chapels bend, and above the mouth of the branch. But such a site is considered to be rathe; far out. It is reliably said the aut or* ifes do not believe the necessity ex ists to place the plant at such a re mote distance from the city. The decision as to the location may 1-e made at some early date. Mr. R. V. Toths, city water and light super in* t'-ndent, said Saturday that work . n the new plant will probably be started in the early spring. The new plant will cost something over a hundred thousand dolars and will he a vast and incalculable im provement over the present faeilitie--. The new settling basin will have a capacity of 6,000,000 gallons. When the fact is stated that the two settling basins now in use at the old rrlant have a combined capacity of only 292.500 gallons, something of the na ture of the new plant may he com prehended. Mr. Toms said the limited capacity <f the present basis is such that waU) is not given the proper time to settle before going to the filters, which has occasioned the muddiness which is often complained of.

However th> division is somewhat al tered. $24,000 was a kod for the Ca-nr building and only 320,000 ap proved. . The method of thi building fend j is lending approved amounts • to the J ! var'ous counties to b- paid ba< k in j i installments covering 20 years with, j j low interest. Laitimore Addition, The new building at Fallston and j Casar have already been completed, i according to Superintendant New ton, and temporary loans were* made j to continue until the special loan was granted from the building fund, j The $37,000 loan for Belwood will be to pay for the handsome building i Cow under erection there, while th i Lattlmore loan is to complete addi | tional rooms in the basement of the | present building.

The estimated cost )ttr I class room is $3,100. The sum total of the amount ap proved for new type projects totals $4,652,000. while applications appro ved for old projects amounted to $348,000, or a total of the set $5, 000.000.

C. Miller of Shelby, who served on the board of directors of the North Carolina School for the Deaf here for more than thirty years—ever since the establishment of the school—‘has a parallel in the State. It is a rec ord of long and unselfish service arid one tlyit deserves more than passing notice and commendation. Mr. Mil ler's interest in the school, its activi ties and advancement, has been un failing through the years, and his heart 1ms ever been attuned to its needs. He has played a big part in the splendid work that has been done at this great nstitution.” Trading Continues Out Cleveland Way Shelby realty trading is stretching out the Cleveland Springs road • like the rubber string on a circus hall.

Artists To Paint Chimney Rock Scenes While in Florida recently Dr. Lu cius B.

From this painting can be made large* wood or metal board reproduc tion, gigantic posters, and illustra tions for newspaper advertising. The demand for tropical scenes on can vas in Florida, due to the boom there, has attracted the best talent of the world, and the services of sev eral will probably be required to ex ploit the Lake Lure mountain lake resort. In commenting upon the subject Dr. Morse stated 'hat his executive committee had recently approved lo cations for several large scenic boards on every important highway in or leading to Florida, so that the thousands of motorists and travelers on train in and out of th< state of Florida will “read as they rale,’* the glories of asummer spent in Wes tern North Carolina.

Auto Loaded With Robed Klansmea And Car Full of Blacks Meet on One Way Road in Country. Five automobile loads of Ku Klux, 20 or more men in full Klan regatta, started west from Shelby in the neigh borhood of 2 o’clock Sunday after noon. They were bound for Boiling Spi ings on an errand of mercy. Half way over the procession came to a narrow strip of roadway, through which a Chrysler loaded with negroes was traveling to the east. The driver of the Chrysler, catching sight of the white robed figures in the procession ahead of him, threw up his hands and yelled bloody murder, and the car careened in a ditch. A; the Chrysler hit the mud and stalled, an aged negro woman jumped out of the back seat, and exclaiming “Lord a’ Mercy!” started south across the adjacent field. One of the delega tion that witnessed the sprint, told The Star Monday that for all he knows the old soul is running yet. The Klan delegation visited a home, in Boiling Springs in which the head |of the household is serving time in the pen. They carried food and cloth ing to relieve the stress of want re ported to be acute in the household. I The big company, fully robed, filed into the living room of the little home, and as half g dozen wide-eyed chil dren looked on agape from corners and cracks of doors, Professor Ham rick. of the Boiling Springs school, addressed the Klan members an i thrrked them for the contribution. The visitors remained incognito, i,oti i membei removing his helmet.
