BATCH OF KINGS MT. NEWS;
TWO CHILDREN BREAK ARMS;
ONE MAN KILLS 200 CROWS
Kings Mt.—We are glad to see
Mr. Fred Finger back home after
a visit of some two or three weeks
to relatives and friends In Virginia.
He has been very sick for the past
iwo weeks, but is much improved
at present. He is suffering from
ground ivy poison, but this too is
improving. Mr. Finger is a men
we miss when he is out of town.
Troy Carpenter has had a singu
lar experience for the past two
weeks. Last Thursday a week ago
his eighteen months old baby fell
out of a window and broke his
arm; last Sunday evening his lit
tle girl, Carolyn, fell from the
porch and broke her arm. Troy
says he has one more child with a
whole arm, but he is expecting it
to get broken almost any time.
Mrs. Frank Lindsay has a very
sore foot. She got her foot or
rather her ankle cut while cutting
a little kindling a few weeks since
and this gradually grew worse
until it has become n very stub
born sore. She is confined to her
bed. We hope that she may soon
be herself once more.
Linden Bibbers who has been
confined in the Charlotte Sanitor
ium for the past three weeks was
able t(> be brought home last Sat
urday. He is doing nicely since be
came home. He has been suffering
from rheumatism.
The Patterson Grove folks had a
nice ice cream supper last Satur
day evening. The Kings Mountain
concert band furnished the music
for the occasion.
Mrs. Bonnie Ruddock returned
from Atlanta, Ga., last Thursday
evening where she had been spend
ing her vacation. She went hack to
Gastonia Monday to take charge
of her work. She is stenographer
for a large firm there.
We sympathize greatly with Mr.
C. A. OaTCs and family in the los
of their son-in-law, Mr. Frank
Steele who died in Charlotte las*
week. Mrs. Steele has two small
children to care for.
Mr. Julius Wright had a very
serious wreck last Sunday after
noon. He and his wife, his brother
and his wife started to visit Mrs.
Wright’s mother in South Carolina
and when he was almost there, his
car turned turtle and threw all of
them out. Mrs. John Wright was
the only one much injured. She is
suffering considerably with flesh
wounds. No bones seem to have
beer, broken. The car was almost
completely ruined.
Mr. Jasper Barnet, Miss Sophia
Berghauser, Miss Forbes, Miss
Ferguson, Miss Bibee, Mr. J. T.
Thomas and Mr. Ben Favell, the
S. S. board teaching force now en
gaged at Gasionia, tame to Kings
Mountain last Tuesday and took
Rev. C. J. Black with them over to
the battleground. The trip was a
new one for them and they greatly
enjoyed it because they realized
for the first time that this battle
was the real turning point in the
American revolution.
Completing Church Annex.
The building committee that has
charge of the new Sunday
school annex at the First Baptist
church is trying its best to get the
building completed by the first
Sunday in October. The plastering
is being done this week. The con
crete man is here ready to put in
the floor in the first story just as
soon as plastering is completed.
The annex is two stories high nnd
will have quite a number of good
Sunday school rooms in it.
The male chorus class of the
1st Baptist church is doing much
good this week. The number of
those taking interest Is increasing
fast. The chorus is going to have
i charge of the music at the Bap
tist church next Sunday morning.
We are expecting a great crowd
: and some of the best music we have
ever had at this church.
A revival of much force has been
going on at Grace M. E. church for
! the past two weeks. Thirty-five
have made profession of religion
thus far. The meeting will contin
ue over pext Sunday. Pastor Ple.ss
is doing his own preaching. The
home choir is doing the singing,
j Editor Page and J. L. Loden
went to Charlotte last Thursday
I on business. Editor Page is just
; about as busy these days getting
ready for promotion day at the
i 1st Baptist Sunday school as a
: one-eyed nigger is at a two-ringed
j circus. He is all astir trying to get
; house and teachers ready for that
day.
j Mr. and Mrs. Harry Keeter visit
; ed Mr. D. J. Keeter at Grover last
Sunday.
Kills 200 Grown.
Mr. Ira Patterson is the cham
pion crow killer of this section of
the county. Last year he killed sev
eral hundred. This year he has not
gotten more than 200. He has been
sick so much of the time that he
could not get out to hunt them this
year.
The ladies of the 1st Baptist W.
M. U. gave Mrs. Raymond Cline a
shower last Wednesday afternoon.
They all report a nice time and a
very fine shower. *t was an entire
surprise to Mrs. Cline. This is a
custom the folks have here that we
have not heard tell of anywhere
else. It works well and does lots of
good.
The Keeter boys says that they
had a great day last Saturday.
Kings Mountain is coming to its
own as a mercantile center. Wc
have some up-to-date stores hero
now, and things bid fair for us to
j have still others. Our mercants are
a wide awake set now. They are go
ing to make Cleveland county folks
set up and take notice this fall
when they put on their real fall
line of goods. W. M. Hord has just
opened a new up-to-date grocery!
store next door to the Baptist
church, and a new furniture store
is getting regdy to open next door
to the movinf picture theatre.
McGill-Fulton Wedding.
A marriage of much interest Is
going to be celebrated here next j
Wednesday morning at 10 o’clock
in the First Methodist church. It is :
that of Mr. Fuller McGill and Miss 1
Mary Fulton. The groom is a son
of the late J. T. McGill, and the
bride is the daughter of our effici
ent undertaker Mr. Horatio Thom^
as Fulton. We do no have two
more popular young people in our
town than those two. They will j
launch out upon the sea of matri
mony with the best wishes of the
entire town. Rev. O. I’. Ader, pas
tor of the Methodist church here !
will officiate.
Mr. W. I). Weaver has just re-;
cently remodelled his home on Gold j
r.trect. He had a very neat resi- j
deree before hi' decided to remodel, I
but now he has a very attractive j
rne indeed. The remodeling fever is j
contagious, so W. F. Logan who
lives a couple of blocks further to-.
ward town than Mr. Weaver is
working his residence oyer also.
Hurrah for Gold street.
Mr. R, C. Gold was called homo

Possessions
Hall Tillman, of Fallston, “ays
that information has been receiv
ed from his cousin, Everett Till
man, saying that the latter and
his family lost all of their pos
sessions in the recent Florida
storm, hut were uninjured. 'I he
Florida death lists carried several
by the Tillman name, but with the
message from Everett Tillman it
is believed that none of the Till
mans from this county were injur
ed.
Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Stroup,
prominent Fallston family, have
been relieved of their suspense by
the receipt of a message from
Miami saying that their son,
Yates Stroup, and his wife are
safe. Mrs. Stroup is the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. A. VV. Brackett,
of Belwood.
Mr. T. A. Lee has also received
a message from his brother, John
Lee, in Miami, stating that he and
his wife were not hit in tho
storm. Mr. Lee holds a position
there as route manager with the
Western Union.
So far as can be learned the
only Cleveland county dead and
injured were those published in
Wednesday's Star.

million bale mark and in-those
years, 1899 and 1901 the crop was
just u few thousand under ten
million. •
Modern machinery, more intense
cultivation and improved methods j
have made a cradual increase in
the yield. The larcest crop on re
cord was made in 1914. That year
the price ranged from 9.95 to 14.50.
In 1912 and 1913 the south made
two crops over fourteen million j
bales and in 1911 there was a 16 i
million bale crop when the price
ranged from 9.20 to 16.15. Eleven,
twelve and thirteen million crops
have been in the majority for the
past twenty years.

During the civil war in 1864 a 1,
300,000 crop brought the highest
price on record. That year the
lowest price was 72c, the highest
$1.90. Since the Civil war the
highest price reached in the cotton ;
market was in 1920 when it sold
for 43,76 cents per pound.
Here is the record since 1914
when the largest cotton crop was
made.

Is the Seuth producing more than
the world can consume? It would
seem so since there is a carry over
from last year of six million bales.
If 15 million bales are made this
year the carry over will be added
to by several million more bales.
By the way, whai has become of
that new manufacturing enterprise
that was talked about town a month
