Negro Buried In $2
Plot by Street Force
Without Ceremony
Waiter Gaines who was shot
and killed Sunday afternoon by a
nejfro woman, Euzella Jones, was
buried 1 uesday in the cemetery at
I leedmon without ceremony,
Dobe,“ one of the colored men
working with the city street force
took a Bible under his arm to the
cemetery but Dobe didn’t read it
for some reason. The city au
thorities made every effort to lo
cate relatives of Gaines in Nevy
berry county, S. C., but had no
replies to telegrams from rela
tives or friends. W’ith the dead
body on the city’s hands, a $2
plot was purchased in the Freed
mon cemetery and the street
force sent oyer to enter the re
mains of the friendless negro. It
is said no others were present at
the burial except the workmen.
Dobe had in mind to read a few
verses from the Bible but evi
dently his nerve failed and the
body was interred with no sound
except the whispered voices of
the workmen and the blows of the
pick and shovel.

John Haney, Formerly of Shelby, Said
To Have Been Imprudent To a
Lady—May Die
John Haney, negro cook and for
merly of Shelby, sustained a serious
and probably fatal wound in the abdo
men Monday night about 8 o’clock,
when he was shot by a Mr. Williams
at the Mountain View Manor in Chim.
nev Rock. Williams is prominent i»i
real estate circles at the mountain re
sort, being connected with the Bat
Cave development, as well as other
projects there. The negro, Haney, was
originally from Shelby, and had work
ed in nearly all of the cafes and
hotels of the town. At the time of the
shooting, he was head cook at the re
sort hotel where the affair toot,
place.
According to the reports received
here, Haney had been in a little trot,
ble with the management of the hotel
for some time, due to the fact that
he had been hard to get along witn,
and that he had discharged three
kitchen forces within three weeks. He
had decided to resign, and had all his
things packed to return to Shelby
In an encounter with the wife of the
manager of the hotel, the negro, so
far as could be learned, had talked
back to her rather freely, which she
reported to Mr. Williams. w-ho it
seems, was a guest in the hotel. Wil
liams went back to the kitchen to
talk to the negro about the affair. It
was not known just what words led
un to the actual shooting, but Haney,
after some talk, drew a meat cleaver
and started for the white man. The
latter shot him iv* the abdomen.
Haney, with the bullet in hi« body,
dropped his weapon, staggered on the
floor and was caught by his wife, who
was present. He was rushed to the
Rutherford hospital, where he nov
lies in a dang^-ous condition.
Williams, who is a member of a
family very promient in Rutherfoia
county, was released on 82,000 bond.
It is not known what charges will
be preferred against him.
Shelby Ladies
Bathe, Not Wash
Prominent Shelby women today
were making inquiries about telephone
calls they received last night. One
lady reported that a laughing idiot
rang her ehone, but was unable to
talk. The conversation oyer the
phone was said to he as follows:
“Are you the lady that washes?”
“Why, certainly not.”
“Oh, you dirty thing!”
The receiver was hung up promptly,
it was said, while the lady summoned
to the phone had a chance to wonder
who the impudent little rascal was
who had tripped her.

The board of education has been
considering for some time the
naming of the new school build
ings in Shelby. It has occnrred
to the board that it would be well
to fallow the plan adopted by our
forefathers for naming the
streets. One cannot travel around
in Shelby without beyig remind
ed .constantly of our 'Revolution
ary heroes, for tne names of
Shelby, Cleveland, Sumpter,
Washington, Lee, Jefferson, Mor
gan and of many other heroes
are used to designate our streets.
This idea can be carried out in
naming our schools, and at the
same time the name wifi aid in
locating the school.
unless a better plan is propos
ed, or some serious objection is
raised, the following will be the
official names for the schools
located in Shelby:
1. The high school, The Shelby
High' School.
2. The school at the Central
Building, located on Sumpter
street, The Sumpter Schopl.
3. The new school in North
Shelby, located 'between Wash

Washington School.
4. The new school in East

The Jefferson School.
5. The school on East Marion
street, The Marion School.
6. The school located on South
LaFayette street, The LaFayette

Ill Dog Chews Up
Little Child’s Leg
An esquimo spitz dog, owned by
Simeon Hull, colored, and kept as n
household pet, chewed up the leg of
Mrs. Harry Gallimore’s child Monday,
inflicting painful and ugly wounds in
the flesh of the leg. It is not known
whether the dog had rabies or not.
Dr. J. S. Dorton, veterinary surgeon,
does not think so, but in the exercise
of due precaution, the spitz has been
killed and its head sent to Raleigh
for analysis. Mrs. Gallimore lives
with her mother just north of Shelby,
while the negro who owned the pet
is a tenant living nearby.

“Go Haid And Shoot,

Breakfast,” She Says
Negro Woman Who Shot Strange
Negro Sunday Is A Vamp—Will
Plead Self Defense
Euzella is a vamp. She is a mulatto,
young, buxom, charg'd with the
quality the highbrows call sex appeal,
and knocks ’em cold Yawning and
bored she received a delegation of two
from the . Star office in the negro
oua^ters of the jail Tuesday, the vis.
itors being chaperoned by Mike Aus
tell.
“Yes, I shot him,” said Euzella. “I
had to; he was goin' to kill me. 1
got the gun front behind the bureau,
and w’he’’ I pointed it a*, him, he say;
“Go ahaid and shoot; 1 ea*s 'em
(meaning buckshot) for breakfast,
dinner and supper.”
Those prooablv were w a'ter warn"*,
the. d ad negro's last words. In an
other >nvt«nt he had turned his hack,
and Euzella pulled both triggers of
the gun.
She said: “When he turned his
back T figured he was gwina get
somethin* to brain nse with, so I up
and firs cl. I never done nothing
wrong in mv life before, and that is
the reason I cried so ’’
Euzella. according to her recital, is the
soul of virtue. She repudiates the
sto*-y that she was trving to collect
monev from Gaines. Her tale is. th°
dead darky was trying to commit
criminal assault.
“I never seed (he- man before.” i
•a‘d the woman, “and I don’t even
k^ow his name.’’
F.zel'a is just twentv-two: so she
says and looks ;t. She lives at
[ Double Shoe's and was rooming in
Red Row. But she and Gaines had
the house to themselves Sunday after
noon..
Asked why she didn’t cry for help
w^en in the alleged trouble she said:
“There wnrn’t nobody about but h
blind woman next door; and what
could a blind woman do? I didn’t see
no other wav out than to kill him.
He was ’tween me and the door when
I shot him.”
Euzella said she guessed she ought
to get a lawyer.
As she talked she came out of the
hull pen and leaned against the win
dow’ casing and ate a peach. Her
appetite is still with her.

Fire Takes Average Of Over
Life Per Day In Each State
Morehcad City, Aug., 17.—The na
tional fire loss in 1924 was $550,000..
000 and 15,000 people lost their lives
in these fires; and nearly two-thirds
of these fires, with a total monetary
of $360,000,000, were attributable to
carelessness and nothing else, Stacy
W. Wade, State Commissioner of In
surance, today told the several thou
sand firemen attending the annual
convention of the North Carolina
Fire men’s Assocation in session here,
in an address in which he again em
phasised the importance of fire pre
vention education. The steadily
mounting toll taken by fire each vear
cannot be reduced until the public at
large is made to see the necessity for
common-sense precautions against
fire, he said. Fire originating from
all other sources cannot compare with
those resulting from ordinary care
lessness, careful examination of fire
statistics show, Mr. Wade declared.
“But the money loss, though I have
been talking in terms of dollars and
cents, cannot begin to compare with
the loss of life, the physical suffering
of those injured in fires, and the men
tal distress that invariably follows the
destruction of loved homes, cherished
institutions and industries. It is esti
mated in all 17,000 lives were lost
in tires in the United States last year,
and in our own State the average whs
nearly one life lost a day. If you add
to the property loss the economic val
ue of the lives lost,in dollars and
cents, the fire loss of 1925 will lie far
in exeess of one billion dollars,” Mr.
Wade said.
“This situation is one that calls for I
action and is a challenge that calls j
for the best that it is us,” Mr. Wade j
told the assembled firemen. “This is j
a day and age of conservation of re- i
sources of every kind. So we must j
rally to the work of conserving the j
lives and property of our citizens, j
And in this great work you firemen !
have a great opportunity. I have not j
words at my command to set forth the |
value of intelligent fire department I
leadership in this effort to cut down ]
fire waste and thus preserve our Na- !
tion’s vast resources.”

_Shelby Schools Announced
Roas Expected An
Enemy Would Harm
Him In Denver Home
That Julius C. Dellinger, of Denver,
j'bis stute, the man known as Charlie
Rork, expected such a catastronhy as
the burning of his home, which oe
| curred Sunday, was made known here
j some time ago.
I Dellinger, or lioss, intimated to n
| friend hi re in Shelby, when he visit
ed the ei‘y, that he expected if he re
! mnined in Denver somebody would
- "get him.’’ And later, when he anticl
' pnted returning front New York to his
; home, he wrote to a friend in The
; Star office a l;'ng if it would be pos
sible to secure a position for him here
, in Shelby, that he would like to re
move his family to this city.
Dellinger told when here of threats
which had been made more or less
openly in Denver against him. And
left no doubt in the minds of the
friends he discussed the matter with
that sooner or later he anticipated
trouble. But he seemed to anticipate
that tlie hatred against him would
taTce more the form of personal vio
lence to himself than otherwise.
I It is believed much enmity ha<
; arisen due to the investigation into
I the Charlie Ross affair.
From all accounts Ross lost all the
data he had collected bearing on his
1 identity, the photographs and memo
randa and affidavits. And it is be
lieved that portions of his manuscript
which he had prepared on the history
i of his life, weie also burned.

I doubled this week and a few more
I laborers are being added every day to
carry out the original plans of Mr.

I The water mains have been put down
and city water turned into the pipes.
A ditch digging machine which has
been opening the trendies for the
[water and sewer mains has completed
, its work and this week the laying of
sewer pipes commenced. Recently,
the electric light poles were erected
and wires strung so that the homes
now under construction and to be
erected can be served with electric
power.
A breakdown of the steam roller
caused some delay in finishing up the
hard surfice roads. This road ma

COnllSLITTLE
FRUIT BUT BIG SIR
Elzie Wellmon Brings a Few Samples
To Town—Some Stalks With
One Boll
While the cotton fields with their
large stalks appear to have the finest
outlook for a big crop the county has
ever had, Mr. Elzie W’ellmon, prom
inent farmer, challenges the state
ment that the county will make a
bumper crop. On the contrary he say*
the stalks bear little, fruit in most
fields and brought to town this week
a quantity of stalks which he had
cut at random to prove his contention.
He measured off a small section in a
field, counted the bolls, counted the
stalks to a row, calculated the num
ber of stalks to the acres and reached
the conclusion that his fields will
produce less than 200 pounds of lint
cotton .per acre. Mr. Wellsion is no*,
a pessimist but a calculator who re
lies on facts and not fancies. It may be
admitted that some fields are better
fruited than his but there are thous
ands of acres that have large stalks,
the limbs«neeting between the rows,
but if close examination is made, it
will be found that the fruit is not
there, says Mr. Wellmon.
W'hile Mr. Wellmon hopes for the
best, he cannot see the prospects that
some people see as they travel the
roads and notice the fine cotton
weed.
