Rev. John A. Wray Resigns Pastorate Native of Shelby and Closely Re lated to Suttle *nd Wray Families Here. Rev. John A. Wray, native of Shelby, has resigned the pastorate *f the Third Eaptist church at Ov. ■ ensboro, Ky., where r,e has been lo cated for six yeaTS. His resigna tion is learned with interest in Shelby because he is closely relat ed to the Wray and Suttle families. Mr. Wray went o Owensboro, Ky., from Monroe. After his resig nation he goes to Hot Springs. Ark.( for a month’s vacation an.l rest, after which he will enter upon his duties at the Eastland Baptise church, Nashville, Tenn., going to Nashville where his children can receive better educational advan tages. Mr. Wray married a daughter of Prof. L. R. Mills, instructor at Wake Forest college before his death. He is considered one of the leading ministers in the Southern Baptist convention and now goes 10 one of the strongest churches. New Registration Light; Voters All Fixed In Primary According to the various regis tration- officials about Shelby and county the registration for the el ection on November 2, has been very light. The registration book.> closed last Saturday evening. However, political leaders of both parties are inclined to believe that a heavy vote will turn out on election day. They point out that Practically nil voters of the county were already registered, the Dem ocratic party getting almost solid ly on the books during the recent nimaries. The last registration was fer the most part to accommodate Pew voters, those coming of ape since the last registration period, nr those carelessly failing to regis ter in the past. School Opening May Be Postponed So many requests have come to Supt J. H. Grig<AJ*rom patrons of rix months schools that the opening !,ro net prolonged by a special "f many of the schools may be postponed for a week, owing to the harvest of cotton. All schools that are scheduled to open Monday No vember 1st, but the opening date niay be changed to November 8tl<, according to county Superintendent <,r'gg. He js today cortferuring "ith the members of the county 'oard of education to determine their attitude in the matter. An nouncement will bo made in Wed nesday’s Star, Cotton Crop Placed New At 17,454,000 'I h»> census department of the Kjeral. government at 11 o’clock today placed this year’s cotton crop at 17.154,000, the largest in the history of the • cotton industry, hut this was about * hat the trade had ex pectcd : id the market held up well December being off only 1(’> points from the opening, an hour after the report was made public. All cf the private esti mates were under the govern ment’s figures hut not enough to materially upset the market. There had ht an ginned 8,722. 066 baits of cotton up to the 18th of October, so consid erably less than half of the crop had gone to the gins when the figures were taken seven days ago. Husky Queen City Eleven Too Powerful for Inexperienced Shelby High Team. A battered, yet fif?litinj? little Shelby eleven went down io defeat before the powerful Charlotte High team here Friday 16 to 0, and several thousands fans turn ed homeward after seeing* the Queen City youths get sweet re venge for a game that ended dif ferently two years ago. There were some few optimistic Shelby fans who dared hope for a local victory until the game near ed the final whistle, but for once the “dope" proved correct and Charlotte outside of one period proved itself to he two-touchdowns better than Morris’ little eleven. However in- that one period the thousand or more Shelby fans wen repaid for seeing the game and at the same time about an equal num ber of Charlotte supporters trem bled at the mistake made in consid ering Shelby easy. Thereafter Charlott- had too much weight, too much drive and too many baffling tactics on ihe offense for the Shelby team to show up well as a whole. The hefty Charlotte eleven rank ed near to the big team of two years ago, and their teamwork on the offense was perhaps better, but facing them in the historic Shelby uniforms were only a few shadows of the team Charlotte took a drubbing from two years ago. Howard Moore, husky Shelby | tackle, stood up and fought off lire i attacks after the remainder of the Shelby line crumpled and thereby established himself us just as good j as any tackle Shelby has ever seen in action. Laymen Beam. Shelby’s best all-around grid performer of the season, likewise contributed his share, but early in the game Char lotte learned to run iheir end plays another way and Beam’s defense dwindled into slipping around be hind the other side of the line and pulling the Charlotte backs down from the rear, and it was few times ihat the Chat lotte backs failed to | signal a lair catch when returning j punts. Beam always hovered over ; them waiting for the ball to settle i and after a few attempts at re ! turning it they decided the healtli j iest way was to keep the Shelby end | on his feet. Otherwise, _ with the : exception of Tom Kerr’s deter mined fight and spirit, the Shelby eleven failed to shine. Gillespie and Gardner together with the erip | pled Whisnant revealed flashes of : brilliance in the line, but only : Moore, Beam and Kerr stood up to the attack from whistle to whis ; tie. During the first quarter Shelby drove out a second-string Char lotte team and then kept the first stringers under the shadow of their own goal until the next quarter. Mauney fumbled a punt that might have given Shelby the necessary encouragement for a touchdown and thereafter the local offense sagged. Cook, I,anc<s and Mason, three of Charlotte’s slashing backs, pushed two touchdowns over a crippled, fighting Shelby line, and in the third period Laslie, big ! Charlotte tackle, dropped back and ! added a field goal from the 30 yard line. Charlotte’s drive whether in the air or on straight line tactics usually found an opening after one of two tries and after Cie first quarter their first downs rolled up regularly. With Gardner and sev i oral of the other first-string line players out all Shelby could offer | in the closing periods was a stub born resistance. Long before that practically all hope of Scoring was given up. The regular Shelbj line couldn’t keep the Charlotte defense from leaking through and nabbing (Continued on page eight.)

V.’hat a wicked, backward, ignorant litlle town this must be. despite the fact that mere than half the pop ulation belong* to Mine church and that it is so law-abiding that less policemen are needed according to population than any other town in North Caro lina. Yes. this is a wild, wooly burg judging from the follow ing editorial appearing in the Liberty, a national “maga zine of religious freedom:” "Tony I’orcelli, of Shelby, N. C., was arrested for per mitting his danghter to do the family washing on Sunday. The Sacramento Bee, in com menting on this affair, says that “districts where such conditions prevail are no more American than is the Sahara Desert a choice for human habitat ion.” Such incidents are a blot upon the fair es cutcheon of the charter of American freedom and human rights. Where is our boasted religious liberty when civil officers are so prejudiced and intolerant toward those whose religious views are different.” Democrats Speak !
