Honor at College fn His
First Year.
Nelson Callahan, one of the lead
ing students to ever go forth from
the Shelby High school, was elect

to the polls he was rushed by poli
tical leaders. Members of the Cal

dormitory trying to get the fresh
men from their studies long

Shot Over Truck
Full Of Children

An uhnsu'’l case was disposed of
by Recorder John P. Mull in coun
ty court- here this week when Mc
Clure IToyle vve gtvert a suspend
ed sentence of four months under
?ood behavior for shooting above a
school truck loaded with children.
The incident took place during
the latter part of September. Ac
cording- to evidence Hoyle had en
gaged in a discussion with the
driver of the school truck and fin
ally the truck started on down the
i-oad. Hoyle litter appeared by the
side of the- road and fired his gun

truck at the time was loaded with
school children on route to the

at the truck and said that he
guessed he just wanted to scare
them. However, a more serious
view of the shootmg was taken by
parents of the children who took
into consideration what a serious
aftermath there could have been.

Denies Wanting County Manager
Form Here. Karrs it Is "Poli
tical Slander"
Despite a gent ral lack of in
terest in politics some heat is
arising over the oncoming elec
tion in Cleveland county. The
first public move—that is, by
newspaper—was made this
week when former Senator
Sam C. Lattimore refutes
charges made over the county
that he seeks «-» :»e county
mr aager by his candidacy for
the heard of county commis
sioners.
"It’s ali political slander,
and I’ve never thought of such
a thing, it being impossible at
that," says Mr. Lattimore com
menting on the reports.
In brief the situation is this:
Reports have been circulated over
the county, it is said, that Mr.
Lattimore, who is one of the De
mocratic candidates for commis
sioner, shall seek to be trade coun
ty manager, or* be given some of
fice with a lart,-e salary. Just
where the rennets • rip.'t.j ted is not
definitely known. Those starting
the reports, however, have not ex
plained, it seems, just how such
an office could be created or mani
pulated so that any one could get
it.
To put it in compact form Mr.
Lattimore replies to the reports
something like this:
It is untrue to begin with.
How could such nn office be
created ?
I have enough confidence in
Judge Falls and Senator Fulton,
who will represeui the county, to
know that they will not cieatc
such an office.
I would not accept such a posi
tion were it offered, and I oppose
its creation.
I will work wltfi Messrs. Cline
and Washburn in opposition to
such an office.
Is Campaign Thunder
Friends of Mr. Lattimore consid
er the reports as “campaign thun
der” and harmless, though doing
the Democratic ■ candidate an in
justice. They were started, these
friends say, to aid the Republican
candidates. However, the follow
ing open reply to tne reports
should put them at end, or at
least stem whatever sentiment
might he ngairst the candidate
owing to the reports.
Mr. Lattimors’s statement issued
yesterday says:
“To the Voters of Cleveland Coun
ty:
“A report is being carefully cir
culated by those who oppose my
election as county commissioner
that I shall seek to be made
County Manager or be given
office at a large salary. They do
not tell how I am to get this fat
job or who is going to give it to
me. They just tell enough to do me
a great injustice.
“The only way sucli a position
can be created is by an act of the
Legislature, and I am confident
that Judge Falls and Senator Ful
ton, who will represent Cleveland
county in the next Legislature,
have never thoughi of creating
such an office. The truth about the
matter is that there is not the
slightest foundation for such a
political slander. I have never
mentioned to any one that I want
ed such a job, and I hereby state
publicly, what I have stated priv
ately, that I would not accept sued
a position if it should be offered to
me, and I am opposed to* the crea
tion such a job. I assure the
people of this county that as
county commissioner I will work
with Mr. W. W. Washburn
and Mr. A. E. Cline in opposition
to any such office, and endeavor
to the best of my ability to save
the taxpayers every possible cent
in the efficient and econonrcal ad
ministration of the affairs of
Cleveland county.
“I want to say further that it
will be my pleasure to renominate
Mr. A. E. Cline as chairman of the
board and that the only ambition I
will have in serving on the Board
of Commissioners will be to give
every section of the county a fair
and square deal in the administra
tion of the county affairs.
“Very respectfully,
SAM C. LATTIMORE”

HIGHS WILL Fifty
Good Game Expected For Friday
Afternoon. Then Comes Big
Contest
i
Followers of the Shelby High
football eleven are assured good
entertainment this week and next.
On this Friday afternoon the
Highs play the strong Mocganton
eleven here, and on the week fol
lowing comes one of the big games
of the year when the Charlotte
Highs come up for their annual
battle. More rivalry usually cen
ters in this game than any other,
it having replaced the old Monroe
annual classic.
Develops Speed
Coach ‘’Casey” Morris does not
take the Morganton game so light
ly and is driving his charges stead
ily this week in preparation for the
tussle Friday afternoon. From
Comparative scores Morganton has
the edge on the locals. Shelby was
able to defeat Coach Falls’ Latti
morc team only eight points, but
Morganton gave them an even
harder trouncing. However, the
Laitimore coach with “Speedy”
Connor says that Shelby should
come out with a comfortable mar
gin over their opponents of Friday.
There may be a shift or so in the
line-up of the locals this week. In j
the last game Morris unleashed a
bench of scrubs and many of them
made an excellent shewing. Wheth- |
er or not any one of the subs
earned a berth on the regular line-1
up by his play remains to be seer,
but several of the regulars should
feel none too sure of their places.
One or two men on the first eleven
haven’t been showing up any too
brilliantly and a game from the
viewpoint of the bench might im
prove their play. That’s a threat
the Shelby coach always holds over
his material. He doesn’t say so and
lets the bey who reports to the re
feree carry ihe information.
With other sports prac-ncatiy a; i
end officials of the team are ex
pecting a big crowd out for Fri
day’s game. In the Morganton
line-up, it is said, will be a player
who performed here in years gone.
Fans are urged to turn out Friday
as with several home games on the
schedule a good attendance is nec
essary to meet expenses.
Will Come Then
The crowds will be out Friday
week. No one doubts that. Chav
lotte-Shelby games heretofore have
drawn record crowds because there
are few’ football games of more
interest to the sidelines than these
annual contests. This year will be
no exception. Caldwell. former
Duke star, is coaching the Queen
Charlotte eleven has not met de
feat. Coach Morris hasn’t the hefty
City lads and so far this year the
team to send agaijst them that he
usually has, but he is figuring on
speed to make up the difference.
His doube baekfield is a light
weight affair, but it has speed and
on that speed alone local support
ers are anticipating seeing a game
in w'hich the strong Charlotte
eleven will at least be offend
steady resistance.
If the Highs led by Tommy
Kerr can run up a sizeable score
against. Morganton the outlook for
the Charlotte game will be bright
er.

Wants To Change
Game To Friday
Charlotte Coach Would Play Shelby
Game Day Ahead To See
College Games
Local football fans are interest
ed in the announcement from Chav
lotte saying that Coach Jack
Caldwell, of the Char?**te highs,
wants to change the Charlotte
Shelby game here .from Saturday
week to Friday week. It is stated
in another column that this game
comes on Friday. However, the
schedule is for Saturday and the I
Charlotte coach wants a ’change so I
that fans may see the high game
and also the e)avidson-Wake For
est tussle in Charlotte on Satur lay.
It is thoughtt likely that the
change will be acceptable to
Coach Morris and school officials
here. The Charlotte News of
Tuesday says of crie change:
"The CTlarlotte-Shelby high foot
ball classic, carded for Saturday,
October 23, is likely to come olf
on Friday the twenty-second ac
cording to Coach Jack Caldwell
local grid tutor.
On the twenty-third Davidson
plays Wake Forest here and sinco
many other smaller reasons to
gether with many fans asking that
the High game come off on Fti
day Coach Caldwell is opening
negotiations with Casey Morris,
Shelby coach, to have the contest
moved up one day.
The followers of the Highs are
anxious to see the Davidson-Walce
Forest clash and being grads of
both the Highs and one of those
institutions they are somewhat
up a tree to have the game date
changed.
“Coach Caldwell expressed him
self as being practically sure that
the game would come off on Fri
day. "I expect that Casey will
Want to play the game Friday as
he is likely to want to see the col
lege game,” was the way Jack put
it.
“The Davidson game will have
quite an important stance on the
State college football champion
ship as both Davidson and Wake
Forest have not been defeated at
this writing in the state.’’

and hear Mr. Hoey whose address
will be along the line of business,
touching especially the situation
as pertains to cotton. There is a
certain amount of gloom and pes

much of which is unwarranted be ■
cause the country has been bless

one of the most bountiful har
vests America has ever had and
instead of murmuring and com

the country should be thankful for
the abundance. There f5 a silver
