In fact, such broadcast pub licity did the disappearance of the child occasion, that the name of Charlie Ross has been a household word in this coun try ever since. Now, after more than fifty years, a man comes to the front, announcing his belief that he is the kidnapped child. The story is revealed through Mr. J. F. Gaffney, of Shelby, who has been asked by the man in question :f he will make an affidavit to the effect that he believes him to be Charlie Ross. Mr. Gaffney told The Star Satur day, discussing the affair, that he will make such an affidavit without hesitation. “1 actually believe the man to he Charlie Ross,'” said Mr. Gafff.ey. Asked concerning Ids connection with the case Mr. Gaffney said: "Back m 1875—the year Charlie Boss disappeared—I was living in Gaffney. Soon after the disappear ance of the child, there showed up in Gaffney a man and a woman, and a child. The child resembled exa -tly C o published pictures of Charlie Ross. The appearance of the couple n Gaffney created a great deal of curi osity and comment, so much so that an investigation was set on foot to find out if the lad was not the miss ing child. Evidently the father of the family, for such the man posed as being, got wind of the affair, and disappeared. "Ever since that time I have Had the conviction that that child wa: the missing Charlie Ro>s. But 1 lost sight of him and never heard of him. (Continued on page eight.)

The Shelby Highs, state baseball champs for two seasons, but now an entirely new group of youngsters, were handed a defeat for their op ening game here Friday afternoon when Kings Mountain emerged victor by a 7 to 2 score. The heady twirling of Scates. Kings Mountain pitcher, is the briefest story of the.game. The husky Kings Moun tain moundsman whiffed 17 local bet ters'. sending seven or nine hack to the tench in the first three frames.

Col Harris Spreads Out in Telling World of Shelby’s Rapid Growth and Boom fCharlotte Observer Editorial) People going into Shelby over the seashore-to-mountains route, No. 120, have noted that the town is spread ing out over the hill toward Cleve land Spr/ngs along the black ribbon 'a d by the State Highway people. But a look about town reveals a spreading out in other, directions al so, with new factory districts com ing into existence as if on a belt line. Shelby has been noted for years past as “a good town", and it! has begun to build upon that reputn-! tion in manner that may shortly de-j vclcp it into the class of “a good j city." Perhaps Shelby has built in I more substant al way than any oth- j er town in the piedmont section in I recent years. Of course, the most i notable improvement is the Masonic I Temple a very handsome and quite 1 an imposing structure commanding j one of the main corners. The Shelby ' church architecture has long main tained reputation for beauty, but the most marked departure in the con struction line is in that of business blocks and new homes. Not so long j ago Shelby’s business district was centered around two corners of Court House Square. So rapid has been the commercial expansion that solid blocks of stores and business houses now flank the four main streets for from three to six blocks in each direction. And as the busi ness activities of the town have grown, there has come equipment in modern traffic signals. Shelby has a complete system of electrically operated signal lights in control of traffic, and it was needed for Shel by is an automobile center of note. It was perhaps not by design that the town has wide streets, for the "fathers” who laid it out could have had no idea of the coming of such a a thing as the automobile, but the fact remains that Shelby has streets of such width as to suggest having been laid out to meet just such con ditions as the automobile has given birth to. Shelby people will tell the visitor that they have no dull days in town, but there are days when trade is a little more active than on others. But it is an established con dition that one every week day in Shelby both sides of the Streets are lined with narked automobiles along each curb. This array of autos is in variably pointed to as evidence of Shelby's commercial activity. The Shelby bank equipment is 1 above that of the overage town, and i the Shelby banks have a record of ! financing agricultural interests, in I construction of hotels and in devolon ! ment of home industries. It is Shel by's money that is now laying out : streets that will develop a doubled j population within a few years and : establish one of the finest pleasure and health resorts in the Southern States. The word which people brings away from Shelby with them is that | this particular center is the seat of I what is to become recognized as the ! most active real estate movements in j this part of the State.. —TODAY’S STAR— II ... j Carries More Live Shelby And Cleveland County News Than Any Paper j Ever Published In The County. 20,000 People Will Read It Will You?

The Cherokee Poultry farm was the I largest in th's county and perhaps in 1 this pari of the state. Mr. Hitchcock] who is a New Yorker, came to Shelby eleven years ago and t»i red in the] poultry business in a small way at j the old McArthur place with 30 hen and two roosters. He studied the busi-j ness from every angle and gradually increased his flock. Many farmer looked to him as an authority on the ] ptobleros of the pouliryman. In clos-j ing nut his stock the Ideal Ice plant bought about 1,000; Have Poultry] farm at Gastonia, 500; a Greenville, i S. C .pouliryman 500, and others the balance. Quite a number were shipped in a poultry car which left here Sat urday. It is pleasing to Mr Hitchcock's’ many friends to know that he will re main in Shelby. The sale of h:s poul-, try flock does not mean that he in-j tends to leave Shelby where he 'has j many friends and attachments'. ] Athletes Mingle In Realty Here Wherever real estate strikes a “Loom" period athletic stars begin assembling, .be it California, Larg ish* nd.

Tony Will Send Child To Church Here— Not An Affair of Klan, Members Declare Italian Ice Cream Vender Makes Statement, As Does Klan. Doth Are Informing I ony I’orcclli, Shelby ice cream vender, ordered to leave town last week by "a group of citizens,” char ged with burning a Bible and mis treating one of his children, made a statement to The Star Saturday, fol lowing publication of the story of his predicament Friday. Porctlli was seen in the office of D. Z. Newton, attorney. He made a formal statement to the effect that he did not burn the Bible, as he was alleged to have done, and pro cured the copy which he said was the identical one given his daughter by her teacher in the Marion street school. He also denied that he had mis treated his daughter, and asserted that although a Catholic he would, beginning Sunday, send the young girl to one of the Shelby Churches. ' ".u 1-1 mils ms rengous affilation iie said: “I freely admit I am a Catholic; that js my religion; but 1 have no prejudice against the Pro testant church. And I have hereto fore believed that I lived In a com munity tolerant enough to allow a man to worship God according to his conscience. “I did not burn the Bible as I was accused of doing, and insofar as the charge of mistreating my daughter is concerned, all I think about is pro viding for my children. To do that I often have to sacrifice much myself. At this moment I am practically barefooted as you may see.” He leaned over and removed one of the rubbers he wore on his feet, and revealed a very much demolished shoe. He went on: ‘‘My business has been nearly ruined by this affair, but I want to stay in Shelby, pay nty debts a id live the life of a respected citi zen. Asked about the visit of ‘‘The com mittee at h s home, that warned i him to leave town, Tony said: ' It was half past eleven o'clock at nght. last Thursday week. I heard j men outside my yard shouting my | name. I went to the door. One of the men said: "We are a committee of citizens, and we accuse yrou of burn ing a Bible, and you had better leave. “They said some other thing," he continued, which I don't remember. They then placed some sort of j powder on my gatepost and set fire to ,t, and it burned with a red light. Then they left,” Asked if the men were masked he said they were not. He also said he did not recognize any of the visitors. Friday, he went on, he applied to the Sheriff and to the Chief of Po lice for protection, but that his wife j was so nervous he took her and the | children to Gastonia for three days. J Meantime, spokesmen for the Ku j Klux Klan, members of which it was I believed had had a hand in warning Tony, enied any knowledge of the affair. Two of the leading members of the Lodge said to The Star Saturday: “We want it to be distintcly under stood that the Klan had nothing whatever to do with this affair, and we exceedingly regret that the name of our organization was connected ] with it. We do not proceed in that j manner, but act within the law. “It was a mistake to say that ir I fluentia! members of the Klan had ' knowledge of what was going on with relation to this episode. That was untrue. Neither the Klan offici ally or influential members of the body had any knowledge of what was to take place. “We are entitled to the same re spect in this community as any oth er secret order, and the charge that the Klan was responsible for the threat against PorcelU is pre judical j to our itandin£ May Get Auto Men To Meet Here Next I* P.

He extended an invitation and several members of the board of di rectors indicated that they are in fa vor of meeting in Shelby. He says, however, that this invitation should h< followed up and pressed by the Ki wanis club and other organizations in Shelby. Such a meeting would be a sp'endid gathering for Shelby for it would bring 250 representative auto mobile dealers from all parts of North Carolina and that Governor McLean, Hon. R. A. Houghton and State High er;/ Commissioner Page would be held in August or September of this year. Florida Getting On Sound Basis, Arey Says After Tour Says The Peninsular Slate is Settling Down to Keal Business, and the Shoestring Man is Leaving. Mr. Ward H. Arey, of Arey Broth ers, bark from a ten day jaunt in Florida, says the bubble in the “Land of Flowers” hasn't butst, as is com monly reported, but that business down on the peninsular is getting d< wn to a firmer basis than ever be fc re. Mr. Arey went to Lakeland, where his father, Mr. W. J. Arey, is spend ing the winter. From Lakeland he vis ited Tampa and the surrounding dis trict. “T found Florida preparing to get down on a really sound basis,” Mr. Arey said. “It is true that the high spot phase, so to speak, of the boom is over. By that I mean the little fel lows—the shoestring men, are get ting out. Anil it is true that you can n't buy today and sell tomorrow at a profit, as you could do in the hey-day of the rush. ‘‘But the substantial business nun of Florida believe that the getting oy of the shoe-string men. and the settling down of trading to a busir.e s basis, is the best thing that could haj pen to the state. I found but few “for rent” signs in Lakeland, wh.'cli is a good sign, particularly at this time of- year, when many people leave the state for the North.” Asked what he thinks of ‘he Shi Iby boom, in the light of recent Florida histoiy, Mr. Arey said: “We will succeed here >n proportion as we get people to coming in. We have to advertise the Cleveland sec tion, and get outsiders interested, ant, get them here. Down in Lakeland real estate is owned by people all over the United States, and it ought to be the same here. “I believe in advertising Shelby; 1st the world know what we have, and get the outsiders coming. Then we will have a real boom.” Dr. Wall Engaged In Revival Meeting j — — ■ Rev.

With no outstanding ease of general public importance on the.docket, an unusuaHy large crowd is in attend ance , the court room and corridors be ing packed during Monday morning. The session is being presided over by Judge James I.. Webb, who ex changed this week with Judge Henry P. Lane. Solicitor Huffman was not in attendance Monday and Attorney Sam Ervin, jr., of Morganton, a in dicate for solicitor in the June pri mary, was handling prosecution for the state. Although there were no major easts on the docket several of those lis'ed for trial during the two or three d-ys of the criminal docket are of con siderable interest. Another chapter will likely he added to the Francls Phitbeck affair, and Lee Hotly, con nected with the masked hold-up of the chain-gang camp, will also be given a hearing along with draw-ford Deane brother of Dillard Deane, who was fjt-ed. However, several cases of interest were shifted upstairs from the re corder's court while Judge Webb was, chanting the jury. Three of these cases will attract considerable inter est. and did in the preliminary hear ing before Recorder John P. Mull.. The first was that of Henry Had go't, who faced Judge Mull charged with the larceny of the Studebakcr car of Mr. J. J. McMurry.tbe larceny of another car belonging to a state in connection with the disappearance highway employe, and another charge ir. connection with the disappearance of some clothing from the Central P’essing club. Will Gamble, who was with Padgett on the night the cars were taken, was used as -i witness in the preliminary. Padgett wus bound over under a heavy bond to Superior mul t and taken upstairs where he will likely be tried during this term. The preliminary hearing of Charlie Hutngardner, of Kings Mountain, whose wife died recently after being shot, wailved a preliminary, it is un derstood, and will also apnear in Su perior court. Mrs. Buingar Iner before dying, it is said, made a statement declaring the shooting was accidental. Added to the interest of the Francis Philbock aftermath will be the begin ning of another elopment case, or a case coming closely under that head. Archie McNeill and Georgia Koontz, tile latter a married woman of High Point, faced Recorder Mull on the charge of living together unlawfully. Evidence disclosed that McNeill and the Koontz woman left High Point some two weeks ago together and came here where the man secured the woman a boarding place represent ing her as his sister, Miss Smith. No evidence was given showing that they hau illegal relations with each other. ’rhe husband of the Koontz woman as veil as her brother attended the pre liminary hearing. McNeill said he merely brought the woman away be cause she suid her husband did not treat her right. Recorder Mull sized up the situation with a 12 months sen tence on the roads for McNeill and 30 dnyr in jail for the woman with a sus pended judgment of three additional rociuhs. Both defenants appealed their sentences and weer also moved upntairs to await the will of the Su perior court. While waiting for their case to be called Mr. and Mis. Koontz were in conference. They have a small child, a photo of the child be ing exhibited in court by the father. The woman in the case is an attrac tive blonde and apparently was little worried over ihe outcome except foe wanting the custody of her child. Mc Neill displayed gobs of cool nerve and told of returning to High Point after leaving the woman here and how her husband came to him about her and displayed a gun. Asked if he didn’t get shaky at the sight of the gun, Mc Neill. who is unmarried replied: “No, sir. 1 knew he didnt have enough nerve to use it. If I thought lie had I would not have ever let him get it out of his clothes.”' 1 he run of the evidence told of gen eral martial troubles. Charges Jury. The court room was packed for the charge to the jury by Judge Webh and those hearing it were highly complimentary of the charge. Follow ing the charge, which was completed shortly before noon, the grind on the criminal docket began with the indi cation that it would be disposed of with rapidity. .Deputy Jerry Runyans is the office? m charge of the jury and Mr. R. L. Mauney is foreman.
