—SHELBY SIDELIGHTS—
_ By Renn Drum._
Shelby was ignnlly honored Mon
day.
There wore two Charlie Rosses if.

Neither Charlie, it is believed, knew

were numeretis newspapermen in town
none of them happened to think of the

them had departed.

that a suite officer is a celebrity, bui
the other Charlie was a fn ak. Lee >1- i
ly, as he world over, everybody ius
fed up in childhood on “Now don’t net
too far away from the souse. Some
one might steal you like they did
Charlie Ross."
And of late week there has been as
much in the papers about Charily
Koss as about Mussolini, Coolidgc and
the flight over the Nor.h Pole. So, n
the assistant attorney general though!
he diiln’t receive the prop* r amount
of attention he shouldn’t w< rrv.
Charlie Ross got it nevertheless.
And in connection with the Newton
hearing it might be added that Shel
by folks got about as much entertain
ments out of it as did Catawaba visit
ors and others.
Quit* a crowd of local folks gather
ed in the court house from curiosity
to see such a group of big lawyers, and
they got their thrill when Clyde R.
llocy finished his argument—for loc
ally it was believed that Mr. Hoey but
shone die entire gathering, and in
outshining them he eclipsed some of
the state’s best known barristers.
For a time the meeting looked like
a joint state convention of Democrats
and republicans with Mike Whiter.er
veteran Republican statesman stamp
ing about the floor amid Feimster,
Grier, Hoey. Self and the others.
Yep, Shelby enjoys such trials.
They bring in new prospects for the
realty vents.
Charles Marshall in his .port col
umn in the Gastonia Gazette was very
,'; complimentary of Shelby's end of the
recent baseball performance in Gas
Uitia. He said in part;
- The baseball game played in the
stadium here Friday afternoon will
never be forgotten by the present
generation. Kay Di;:on almost hud

One to nothing wins are a plenty

to sit through one is something dif

When a Dixon cornea to Shelby the
old towns gets on its ears trying to
decide which of the famous family is
the most brilliant. In days gone by it
was Clarence. Then Frank, who has
also passed away, would come along
und they’d change their minds. Then
Tow Dixon came through recently on
bis lecture tour and almost in unison
the town agreed that he had no sup
erior when it came to mentality. And
now that Mrs. May Dixon Thacker has
spoken more recently there are these
who say she has the whole family out
classed. And there you go. If Df.
Delia Dixon-Carro’.l should come next
week the argument would bob up
afresh with her champion chiming in.
Anyways there’s nothing to be fam
ed by deciding and perhaps the Dixon
family doesn’t relish being discussed
by a small-town newspaper colyum,
but did you know that the Dixon fam
ily is one of the few in America in
which every son was carried tn
who?”
A friend from out of town drops us
a message saying: “We see that
Shelby keeps ip the limelight. First
you ^eot a fellow up to Henderson
ville to fight Jack Denpsey, and then
you send representatives to .he fun
damentalist-modernist discussion :tt.
Charlotte. Couple ’em up wkh Charlie
Ross and Tony Porcelli and the town
has received more publicity than any
other of similar size in the world
since th^boginning of 1926.
To which wc add that perhaps the
next step will be to ask the next meet •
ing of the “Committee of One Hun
dred” to gather in Shelby. Yes, n>et
fce. But Shelby, observations might
show, is content enough with reviv
als conducted along lines not to care
anything about seeing religion and
’ * the state tangled up in a bunch of
* noopkey-shiners.
Mr. Rroadburst. of Greensboro, said
» ' coi-rectl*: ^The Bible isn’t such a wen*
thing tha. it needs Bnv legislation
passed to protect it.” Fqct u, they
weathered haany years before there
were legislators who talked dog laws
■ and Poole bills, for that matter long
before balloon pants were worn at our
colleges. And doesn'i. seem darnagrd
yet by modernists or any others.
The boys of Shelby Who toojc part
in the skating craze some month.?
lack when a skating hall was opened
may perk up again and look forward
1,0 a big summer. Alfred 1’. Marshall,
sales director of the Cleveland Springs
Estates, is planning skating tourna

Case Up Here
Big Array of Attorneys Debate High

county as it pertains to the town < f
Ni wi in still hang fire, following .' l
gathering of cm; of the state’s biggsrt i
arrays of legal talent in a hearing ot
fore James L. Webb Monday after
noon.
Following the presentation of the
injunction complaints by counsel f ir
the town of Newton and the answers
by highway commission counsel and
,ne arguments of various counsel, in
cluding attorneys from other counties
and cities on highway No. 10, Judge
Webb deferred his decision for a con
sideration of one or two days.
An Important Case.
The healing upheld its reputation of
being one of the mos- important high
way litigations the state has known
being nttende dby scores of Catawba
county citizens and by a dozen or
more attorneys of counties and cit es.
Debate of the injunction merits wax
ed warm.
The decision, it i s understood, to be
handed down by Judge Webb, will
cither dissolve the restraining injunc
tion, which prevents construction
work on the proposed route, or will
send the matter on to supreme couit
for a definite decision.
Charles M. Itoss, assistant attorney
general of hforth Carolina and attor
ney for the stute highway commissi* n.
held in his answers and arguments
that the proposed route of highway
10 through Catawba and Newton com
plied wvith the requirements of the
state road laws as enacted by the as
sembly passing the bill for the big
system of highways.
Counsel for the town of Newton
contended that the proposed route did
not meet the requirements, citing sev
eral instances.
Stripped of the by-play, aide argu
ment;; and the minor technicalities, the
ease on both sides developed under
three heads.
Practical Routing Outlined.
«ST“-'
The first was that of the highway
commission by Mr. Ross, who mated
that the proposed routing was the
most practical and did connect the
county scats of Catawba and I redd,
itis contention was thjit it did con
nect Statesville with Newton, because
the proposed route runs through the
corporate limits of Newton, although
not through the heart of the town.
His contention was that although
that it did not pass through the cen
ter, that it did intersect with a high
way that was so routed.
The plaintiff, or the town of Newt n
on the other hand upheld two poihts
strongly, namely: that the common
sense construction of the road law
had been violated in that the propos
ed route did not connect the two coun
