Gives High Praise of Cleveland Farms _ “I haven’t seen t.he eoual in farming in 23 stales.” said W. C. Welter, of Dailey, Texas. repr< - tentative of bf^nd l\vers who made a trip over Cleveland county last y.’cck to inspect the farms and look into their values. “These farmers ,T|ust be Germans," said Mr. Wel ton as he turned an addressed his r( marks to Sam C. T.attimore. Mr. " olton is in position to know lar.d values and was most favorably im pressed with the thrift and in dustry of Cleveland farmers as in dicated by their productive fields. ■Mr- Welton’s job is to travel 23 states, pass judgment on general land values to determine whether the buyers of farm loan bonds are safe in investing 50 per cent of the value of farms on long time loans, i’he companies he represents buy millions of dollars worth of farm V°n securities and his judgment on values is the last and final ■word as to whether yucti securities are safe or not. Such an opinion as ne formed of Cleveland county is enough to make Cleveland county farmers proud of this section. Chickens And Cows Will Supplant Cotton Cash Crop Cleveland Farmers About Ready To Quit Carrying Eggs In One Basket. Fruit Crops In Abundance Cleveland county farmers will livtrsify ncx: year. Times are not *o hard—not half b.« acute as pessimists would make believe—hut the law price of cot ton hr:j had its effect. At least it seems so, for judging by the con versation one hears among farm ers on the streets there will he few farmers in this county who will stake their all on cotton next year. The lesson this year w_s too ex acting to be forgotten ere another planting season. it wasn’t any particular fore sight that makes the cotton flop bearable this year. Rather it was a generous working of nature, and an abundance of things that a good j season brings—that seems to be I the consensus of opinion among I farm leaders. However, Cleveland farmers did set aside more acre age for hay and feed crops this year than last and that small di versification together with a great1 pbtindar.ee of all field and fruit | crops prevented wha‘ might have j been a serious situation. If you think times are hard ; new, just suppose for a moment i that there, was no mote fruit this 1 year than last, and that few far- j mers produced their own hay and fet'd cons? Then the calamity howlers might howl end have jus tification for every groan. With the present situation pro- j vailing, cotton selling low, every-: bodv off ring advice P.nd none confident enough to act upon it. j farm leaders—those who think ahead of the calendar—have reach -1 ed the conclusion that in the com ing yeprs two ii tie “c’s” v.ill sup plant the big “C” as the cash; cron for Cleveland county, mean ing that the farmers’ spending money for next year and the com ing years will come from his chickens and his cows and every thing will not depend upon what ccrron aops. . , . . . Which doesn’t necessarily mean that there will he no cotton plan* ed next year. There will hn. b”f every available acre, nook and corner, will not be given ever to cotton. Instead thi farmers of Cleveland county will play safe to the extent that there- will, be enough food and feed foe bi t fam ily aid his livestock, and in case cottrn goes bad, enough incoming cash from chickens and dairy produces to take care of his taxes and nccpsii-ry cash expenditures. That’s what the wise farm lenders believe, and that’s whr.t the wise farmers will do. judging from their own conversation. A it is the farmers of Cleve land county are not justified in becoming too blue over cotton alone. Taking everything into con sideration the general farm crops of Cleveland county this year are better than in many years. If the low price of just one cron is J enough to worry about no better proof could be offered than a one crop farm cannot pay in the long i run. Shelby Soldier On 7,000 Mile Voyage John W.

Spectators (iet Thrill When Shelby Cemcs From Behind To Win Before Final Whistle. Spectators who witnessed the Morgarton-Shelby high school game here Friday will have to pivc “Casey” Morris’ eleven cred it for one thigg—-the ability to stage a desperate ccme-back. With just two minutes to go before the final whistle Shelby held the low end of a 7-6 score, but two minutes later when the referee ended the game the count was 13 to 7. Those two minutes were no longer than any other 120 seconds, but jn that time spectators witnessed some of the best football Shelby has seen in years. In the victory fans noted contin r 1 improvement in the little blue dad Shelby warriors. The Mor ganton team rates next to Gaff ney in strength of oponents this year and it was desperately-tired, but victory seeking outfit that drove across the entire field within such a short time. ivrir i/uth ncunnR Tommy Kerr, sparkplug of the Shelby eleven, registered both local touchdowns. In the early stages of the game he plunged over for six points, the attempt at goal fail ing. Then with Morganton forging to the front with seven points later it was Touchdown Tommy for the last marker, the diminutive ouarter snagging one of Ed. Har ris’ passes out of the air and step ping <nrer the line after a steady march down the field on end runs Pnd passes. But to get back to the thrills: Several hundred fans gathered on the sidelines believing the dope ihat predicted a Shelby victory. Thereupon Morganton trotted on the field a husky outfit, better than any state team seen here this year, and manv began to change their minds. The game mov ed on and the cheers of the lassies on the sideline sank belowr a whis per when the official watch reeis * erod only two minutes to go and Morganton leading. Then it was that the Shelby eleven forgot its weight and inexperience and he <rnn driving desperately for the Morganton goal line 80 yards dis tant. And then it was that fans forgot that there had been better Shelby elevens in the past, and meantime forgot everything else ns Kerr drove his blue lads down the field. Bridges and Harris, do ing little damage around the wines in nrevious attempts, began to clin off gains registering first downs on every try. And then with the goal line coming closer and clos er, and the end of the game nn nr.anehing iust as rnpidlv, Kerr de j mded to take to the air and the j frenzied sidelines saw the oval nigskin go sailing from Harris' hands only to wonder where it would fall, on if sailed to the sha dow of the goal no«ts and it beg"” to settle Kerr dashed out of pil ed line un of scrimmage, milled the ball out of the air and stunned I oven *he line for the speediest I tenebdoo-n ever recorded at the I ciIV pai tv. Fcndo-m will not remember thi' | year’s eleven ns lone: as they will others of bv-gnue davs. but nianv calendars wdl have been assignee to the rubbish heap ere that two minute touchdown is talked nc more. Experts say that the Shelb\ eleven reallv put forth in only two nuarters, the first and the lost but others are inclined to dis agree—Morganton had a bettei gridiron eleven than many seem tc think. Properlv coached, the gen eral opinion hereabouts is, Mor i ganton should win the state title. There was little of individual starring other than the drivt , Kerr imnarted to his team in the final minutes. Lavmon Beam, or end. was up to his customary roU ' of smearing the opposition’s plaj ' and ere the end of the year even eleven met by Shelby will decidt to start their end runs in another direction. Year after year She!b\ places some player on AU-Stat.< elevens and this vear with a 1'ghi ■ and inexperienced team then : should be no exception. Howarc (Continued to page 8) f Annual Fair For Colored Hern (Jets Underway Wednesday. Have Hood Races. The annual Cleveland County fair Has It's “Hanoy Jack”, but the col ored fair, which opens thfa week, is not to be ou-dene, and it also h- - a fat man. He came in over the week end and his private car was nothin--? else than a big motor truck. The fat man, weighing 000 pounds, could find no convenient sestf <m a train or in a passenger automo bile and so a truck was utilized to bring him from Winston-Salei.' here. Spectators on the streets were attracted to me truck when it parsed through town with the fat man sleeping on the open bed of the truck, his huge rolls of fat shaking with each minor bump in the street. The fat man is one of the attractions with Miller Brothers shows. The formal program of the col ored fair will open at the county^ fair grounds Wednesday morning, October 20, and will continue through Saturday. It is generally conceded to be the premier event for the negroes of Western Caro lina and upper South Carolina, as no near-by counties have colored fairs. The general attractions in clude horse racing each afternoon at 2 o’clock and a fireworks pro gram each night, 10 shows, four rides, and numerous,free acts along with the races and fireworks. Prof. L. E. Hall is the highlight of the program for the colored folks and will deliver an address during the event and also assist in the judging of the agricultural ex. hibits. It is worthy of note that despite a great loss owing to the low prico of cotton the colored farmers of Cleveland have arranged some very fine exhibits for their fair. Shelby Prepares Game of Friday —————— Highs Are Pointing For Charlotte Game This Week. Season’s Best Crowd Expected Shelby’s biggest football gath ering will more than likely turn ; out Friday of this week for the Shelby-Charlotte game. Despite I elimination games and other good j contests the Charlotte game of re I c< nt yer.rs >a? developed into the y(.nv'.' elnssi" for high school foot ball here. In bygone years Shelby has or dinarily presented an eleven with , a conceded chance of winning. This I year, however, only an outside I hope is given Ca-sey Morris’ boys, while the dopesters are already slating Charlotte for the state title. Fans with a memory, though, will remember that such has hap pened before. Two years ago Char lotte sent up a husky eleven doped for the championship, and late that afternoon, after one of the most gruelling high school games hereabouts, Charlotte left for | home defeated by one point. The j optimistic can hardly hope for such a Shelby display this year. The material isn’t there to begin with. But last week fans saw Mor ris’ little eleven stage a come back for a touchdown with only a few minutes to play and that car ried the information to the elec trified sidelines that the young sters have just as much scrap a3 any Shelby eleven despite their size and greenness. An entire game such as th.it two • nutes I would come near stopping the j Queen City crew provided the | youngsters can stand the grind, i And on that outside hope there i will be few standing points of : vantage along the sidelines here I Friday. If Charlotte can beat Shel* , by three touchdowns as the ex. 1 perts predict then Charlotte should win the state title, and Shelby always did enjoy seeing champiors play. Use rire Hose To Get Rid of Birds Editor of The Star. A suggestion to the city or coun ty authorities to correct the nuis ance along the court house square caused by the small Birds roosting in the trees at night would be ap preciated by thousands. The city of Cincinatti had a con dition like this and it became so great that the value of property along that street was very much de pressed. Many different ways were tried but with out success until the scheme of getting men out with the fire hose just at dark and wash ing them out of the trees just a few days of this and the birds have never been back.

Methodists Meet In Conference At Gastonia this Week Number of Pastorate Changes, are Scheduled. Shelby Ministers Will Attend. Gastonia, Oct. 17.—The western ! North Carolina conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, will open its 37th annual session here Wednesday. Members from all Piedmont and western counties will be present. The close of the conference year 1 marks the end of the four-year pastorate of a presiding elder and 21 preachers and the close of the fifth year of one preacher in charge. This puts nearly half a hundred pastorates on scheduli for consideration at the meeting. It is also rumored tha: a large num i ber of changes in pastorate not re quired by the lawR of the church | will be made at this time. Dr. H. K. Boyer, Rev. A. S. j Raper, Rev. D. P. Waters and other i Methodist ministers and laymen of this section expect to attend the conference. Greek Meets Like; They Divide Coin When Greek meets Greek. What is the result ? It happened like this. There were three Greeks, the same which, are I connected with the Miller Bros. ! shows, which are playing for the negro fair this week out at the fair ( grounds. Last week, it seems the' three were in partnership in an eating joint, probably a noted hot dog stand. They cleared around $174 in prof- i its. And as they were busy moving their place of business they did not, have time to divide the profits. So ; when they arrived in the city of i Shelby, one of the Greeks, the j cashier, arrived before the oilier j i two. The two latter thought that i ! the cashier had skipped them. So when they found him in Shelby they, decided that it was the time, the exact time to settle up. They gathered e.round a table in the Southern Inn, Sunday night.,1 and proceeded to direct their atten tion to the dividing of the profit?. I But as it was Greek had met Greek. There was misunderstand- j mg. The cashier, it seems, did notj : want to divide the spoils of the week before. The other two thought' different. They wanted a settle ment. There was still argument. Finally the situation advanced to a point where the cashier laid the money on the table. One of the men had advanced the corporation $20 to run the stand on. This be ing the case he snatched up his twenty dollars so that he would be sure of that much. There was no contention in that part. But for the rest of the profits there was small argument. It seemed as though there would be blows passed: but about this time the Law walked in, in the form of Officer Moore.. intervened in the affair. So now he is in possession of $115 which ihe cashier gave to him to divide up with the other two fellows. He keeping his .part to be sure. Policeman Moore divided the money this morning. Convicts of the No. 6 township road gang had a close call Sunday night when the sleeping quarters of their camp caught on fire while they were all chained in for the night, the blaze being originated by one of the convicts, it is alleg ed. The result was that camp guards appeared on the scene and by quick work freed the convicts from the padlocks in time to get them from the burning building before any were burned. However, it is said that a mattress or so about the quarters and other accessories were burned. According to locnl officers Elisha Smith, young convict serving a term for auto larceny, started the blaze which might have burned him and eight or ten of the convict* to death. Somewhere near the camp was a can of gasoline, used from some purpose about the camp .The convict charged with the attempt is said to have sent a trusty for the gasoline after the men were chained in their quarters. When it arrived it is alleged tha* he threw some of the oil into the camp stove and when the flames shot forth, scattered the gasoline over the room, the blaze spreading rap idly. Guards, however, rushed in and unchained the convicts. tu«r> ing them out in the yard. The city fire truck responded to the alarm, hut the blaze was under contioi when firemen arrived. As the convicts were corralled hack in the building one was miss ed. A check-up revealed that Smith was the missing man .Convict of ficials soon learned that Smith had been seen to crawl over the fence about the camp during the excite ment around the ~re. However, his chains w'ere still on and guards lo cated him a short time later near the camp. It is said that the con vict at first displayed a tendency to resist capture, but he was back withih the camp in a short time. Was Very Dangerous. In official circles the work cred ited to the convict was a very dangerous thing. Had it occurred" later in the night and the guards not noticed for a time the outcome might have been very serious with the men trapped inside and unable to get out. It is generally understood about town that Smith will be brought before Recorder Mull charged with starting the fire. He is nearing the end of a year's sentence for steal ing a car, and according to Chief B. O. Hamrick has escaped on a previous occasion. CONVICTED PROHIBITION VIOLATORS PAY HEAVILY Convictions for violation of the Prohibition law amounting: to 44, 022 were obtained in the Federal courts during the last fiscal year. This was an increase of 4,193 con viction over the previous year. The aggregate amount of fines im posed in these cases amounted to $7,339,995, which was approxi mately $400,000 less than the fines imposed during the previous fiscal year, but the total years of jail sentences for the last fiscal year was 5,666 years, an increase of about 1,100 years over the sen tences of the preceeding year. This indicates that more jail sen tences are being given to the violators of the Prohibition law. County Election Tickets Ready-Little Interest Farmers’ Checks Not Called For Times can't be so hard about Cleveland county. At least there arc some farmers so we|l off that they haven't called for checks due them. Dr. J. S. Dorton, Cleveland fair secretary, says that quite a number of premium checks won at the recent fair here are uncalled for as yet. Winners who have not received their checks are asked to call for them at Dorton's office or the office of Mrs. Irma Wallace, home agent. Firs™ Willis MrMurry Leads for Medal Score Cup.

The new nine holes developed by Marshall and constructec’ under supervision of W. H. Lyle, Shelby pro, was termed by every entrant as the best in the state with furth er development. One New Yorker, playing in the opening rounds, term ed it the most beautiful rolling course he had ever played. The greens as yet, owing to a lack of rain, are not in perfect condition, but should be by next spring when the course is expected to attract golf fans from over a wide area. Last reports from the final rounds state that Worth Plyler, of Monroe and Shelby, is leading with the field with a card of 95 and a 23 handicap. Too Much Awake At Wake for Dead Officers Nab Immoral Couple at “Wake" in House With a Dead ftTan. An olden custom is that of “sit ting up” with the tread ere the re mains are consigned to the ceme tery plot, and among the colored folks since the romatic days of plantation times this custom is termed the “wake” or the “wake party.” —Last week Old Joe Singleton, one of the best known colored men of Shelby, died, Thursday night quite a number of folks were at the “wake.” Along in the wee hours, when the superstitious say tho spirits are abroad, officers acting on one of those disconcerting hunches they frequently have, made a visit to the “wake”. The result was that they found one couple very much awake, and according to evidence abusing the solemnity’ brought about by the visit of the death angel. The negro man was given a 90 day sentence by Recorder Mull and the woman was fined $10 and the costs for her, participation in the disorderly conduct charge.

Daniel, a Char, lotte grocer, last June, in Meck lenburg court the past week and sentenced to be electrocuted at the state prison November 26, An appeal to the supreme court will however stay the execution. John ston was convicted on the evi dences of three other negroes de. dares that he is innocent. Nc motive has been assigned for the killing as Daniels was not robbed Logan Opposed for Sheriff by Rhea. Six Seek Re-election By Democratic Party.
