Deadlock. Ends Season
With Laymon Beam’s brilliant
runs ar.d Kin?; Mountain’s line
. plunging furnishing the sneetacu
,ay fea’"res the Shelly-- Highs and
Kings Mountain deadlocked their
second gridiron battle of the year
j here Friday 7-7.
! The game perhaps drew the cur
tain -on the local football season
and witnessed the last appearance
of several Shelby youngsters in a
high uniform.
| 1 he second deadlock contributed
j a score more of thrills than did
i the first meeting of the two even
ly matched elevens and a far bet
ter brand of football was exhibited
Pheibv again turned in the most
first downs, thanks to Beam’s reck
j less running, but Shelby again did
not win, which brings the conclu
sion that Kings Mountain has a
i line that is^good and a backfield
i too wary for a forward passing
gams.
j If each team could have elim<n
j ated an “if” either should have
won by one or two touchdowns
margins. Had the Kh gs Mountain
backs been able to hold the ball on
, tbe'r dives they might have car
ried o nacross the field for several
touchdowns, but even the rteedv
Johnny Hord fumbled a few. And
had Shelby been able to use Ed
Harris, her triple threat back, the
outcome should have been far dif
ferent. On three occasions Shelby
was within easy field goal dis
tance. Twice th » locals did not have
; the nerve to 1st Harris’ sub kick
Tor it and on the other occasion
| Zeno Wall had keen taken out and
j ’here wasn’t anybody left to take
the chance with the ball resting on
; the 6-yard line. All of which cen
; ters arour.d “might have been.”
: The game is another story.
Despite the fact that Harris,
i Bridges and Gardner were out
i and more. Cline and Beam were
■ crippled the local eleven started
! off the game with the most fight
,-and drive they have exhibited this
year. Which isn’t an alibi. The
new fight was equal to the prowess
of the missing and injured per
formers. Kings Mountain likewise
[ offered an improvement in a drive
that is now smooth-working—the
same drive, may it be said, that
| stood Asheville on its head.
Shelby’s touchdown came in five
minutes of play when Beam, hav
ing his best day in the backfield,
flashed across as a sequel to three
runs by him that totalled 65 yards.
Kings Mountain received and
came back to midfield where the
'^rlv line play of Gillespie and
Moore and Tom Kerr’s work held
them and KeKrr mussed up their
'day to recover the ball. Little
Zeno Wall, running the team at
quarter, pulled Beam from end to
the backfield, replaced him with
Kerr, and called on Beam to ev
hibit, and that he did as the yell
i ing sidelines indicated. On Beam’s
: final run for the touchdown, a
| triple pass play, the Shelby eleven
; offered its first perfect interfer
ence of the season and it was per
| haps the only gain of the day in
which Beam did not make his way
alone. The ball see-sawed for the
remainder of the quarter with
Kings Mountain gaining regularly
j on the punts. In the second quar
ter the driving Kings mountain
backs, Stowe, Hofd,'"Skates nnd Go
forth began crushing the Shelby
| line steadily for first downs, On
! fake pass formation one of the
j fleet backs circled the entire Shel
I by team for the touchdown, al
| though the nervy little Wall pre
i vented it a moment before by mak
ling a great tackle of Hord. Kings
i Mountain booted her extra point
\ and Shelby’s came as the result of
a decision by the headlinesman that
Mason*. Kings Mountain center,
was offside. Mason is perhaps the
best center seen here since the
days of the Harrys. Schwartz and
Grigg his lone fault being his
over eagerness to get in the play.
Asheville reports say that his play
there had much to do with the tie,
and Shelby can say the same thing
of two ties.
The third and fourth quarters
were hectic and erratic Kings:
Mountain would start a drive and |
lose the ball on fumbles recovered
by Kerr and Billy Grigg, who up
held the funihle-grabbing tradi
tion of his family name. Shelby
would threaten and weaken on
puny «’nts. On one occasion Kings
Mountain had pushed the locals
back under the very edge of their
own goal posts and it was then,
perhaps, the biggest kick of the
game came. It seemed a certainty
that Shelby would punt, but out of
a fake formation Beam dived

New Record Made
In S. S. Attendance
A new record was established in
attendance at the First Baptirt’
Sunday school Sunday morning
when G70 were present. This is a
considerable jump from previous at-;
tendance records and it is thought,
to be largely due to the impetus j
given the men’s Bible Class where
a campaign is on for new members.
There were 247 present in the Bi
ble class taught by Max Gardner
Sunday morning. At the banquet
given at Cleveland Springs Friday
night 204 were present, indicating
that the men did some effective
personal work Saturday and Sun
day morning to butld up the at
tendance.
through the husky Kings Moun
tain line, shook himself clear of
the secondard defense and began
stepping off the white markers.
His wiggling, slashing 38-yard run
ended in midfield where Hord,
safety man, cornered him in one
of the field’s many mud, puddles.
Both elevens were off and on in
their passing attack. Kings Moun
tain completed one for a thriller,
and Shelby despite the pass-break
ing tactics of Skates managed to
complete several for good gains.
Beam topped off his end runs by 1
snagging two of the short passes

it was a gopoganneeven it er
ratio and at times every perform
er was in the limelight. Tom Kerr,
who tackled the visiting backs I
causing their fumbles or recovered
them when someone else did. was I
the defensive star. Ranking with
him on the opposition was Mason j
and Skates, the latter slapping ,
down many Shelby passes. Beam,
now credited with being one of I
Shelby’s best running backs and
showing it with a mediocre team
instead of with the great elevens,
was the leading ground gainer. It
would be hard to determine the
best ground gainer for Kings
Mountain. Alternately they drove
the line fiercely, or circled the
ends. Goforth during his stay per
haps was outstanding, but Hord
flashed his speed often, fumbling
once to recover and make the nec
essary distance.

| Thanksgiving Day
! Thanksgiving Heart
j “In November the harvest is gath
ered;
! Thanksgiving brings praise and
good cheer;
We thank the good Lord for the
blessings
He sends us all through the
year."
i
X * flower blooms in the King’s
pat-den more fragrant than that
. of Thanksgiving. A praiseful spirit
j is like the presence of a noble per
son in the room—everybody feel*
better thereby. A grateful soul is
' like the bird tint sings as it rises
i and rises as it sings, until all the
I plains are filled with its gladness.
I On this glad day the heart feels
grateful, not only "r the fruits of
| the field, but for the fruits of our
toil, in many places—some passion
slain, some conquered ill, some
virtue cherished, s-uie new vision
of truth, some noble endeavor real
ized, some cleaner fwveeter concep
tion of life; the path of duty trod
with a surer and more wiUinw s*e»>,
some new visions of the Bible’s
beauties and beautfiudes, the
hearts’ glad surrender, that says—
“Thy will be done.”
“He who thanks with his lips
Thanks but in part;
The true, full Thanksgiving
Comes, from the r.eart.”
But thanksgiving is not so much
of the day as of the heart. He best
gives thanks whose heart has been
grateful through all the days of the
year—in sunshine and shadow, in
sorrows night and in nleasure’s
lio-ht. in the morning of joy and in
the evening w-hen sorrows gather
about us. “Bless the Lord. O my
soul, and all that is within mo,
bless His Holy name.” Thus the
psalmist of the universal human
heart struck his immortal harp
and sang for all ages, calling the
redeemed soul to rvveetest songs
of praise.
“I praise Thee for the desert road,
And for the riverside;
For all Thv goodnes hath bestowed
And all Thy grace denied.”
The two words grace and grati
tude are seen everywhere in the
Bible. The King expects when we
pluck the flower of grace in His
garden to pluck , t»so the flower
of gratitude. They are twin flow
ers, grace and gratitude, and one
soon w-ithers without the other.
God is the donor; we are the re
cipients. He is King; we are pen
sioners upon His bounty. Grace is
the Father’s unmerited love to us;
graditude is the lire’s gird re
sponse for His wonderful gifts. The
world’s two most beautiful things
arc the Father’s love and the child’s
gratitude.
The ingrate, is i’je ungrateful.
The heart forever condemns the
hutler’s ingratitude to Joseph.
Grace and gratitude are the an
gels on Jacob’s ladder, ascending
and descending. Gratitude is the
melody of David’s harp; the voice
of angels singing- in our souls.
“Thy bountiful care, what ton
gue can recite?
It breathes ir- the air, it shines in
the light,
It streams from the hillp, it de
scends to the plains.
And sweetly distills in the dew
and in the rain.”

DEIF EIIHLIST
Young Shelby Man, Who Instructs
Ocaf of State, is Recognized
By Presbytery.
Shelby tonight will have one of
the few officially ordained deaf
evangelists in this section of the
South.
At an adjourned meeting of th •
Kings Mountain Presbytery held
here this afternoon at 2 o’clock, An
drew C. Miller, jr„ was ordained as
a Presbyterian evangelist to the
deaf of this state.
Farnrd Reward.
The ordination services were
held at the Shelby Presbyterian
church and attended by the officials
of the presbytery and church by
members of the congregation and
friends of the family.
The ordaining of Mr. Miller comes
as a just reward for the noble work
he has been doing among “his peo
ple," the deaf. For many months
Mr. Miller has been conducting Bi
ble classes and lectures for the
deaf of the section, holding the
classes at Shelby, Hickory and oth
er points. Hundreds of deaf who
could otherwise never hear reli
gious worship or have the Gospel
explained to them have benefitted
by this earnest endeavor. The class
es here and at other towns have
been coming for ir.*: »g to be at the
services.
Of late months Mr. Miller’s wife
has been of great aid to him. assist
ing in the services and leading the
unique song services of the classes.
The songs as well as the instruc
tion are by the sign language of the
deaf.
At the last regular meeting of
the Presbytery it was decided to
recognize the work of Mr. Miller
by ordaining him as an evangelist
for the section of home mission
work connected with the deaf. The
adjourned meeting today was for
the purpose of carrying through
this decision.
Mr. Miller’s classes here have
been conducted in the Sunday school
rtfams of the Presbyterian church.
Cotton Estimate
Now 18,399,000
The census bureau of the
government raised its estimate
to 18,399,000 bales when the re
port was given out at 11 o’clock
today. Two weeks ago the gov
ernment’s estimate was 17,
918,000 bales and at that time
ihe ginnings were 11,295,038
bales. This time there has been
ginnned 12,953,708 bales which
is somewhat lower than many
had expected, hence the market
was held rather firm with only
a few points decline.
Banks And Stores
Close Thanksgiving
Thursday is Thanksgiving day
and local banks and stores will be
closed on that day as has been cus
tomary. Those who have business
to transact with these institutions
should bear this fact in mind and
anticipate the holiday. Quite a num
her of football fans will journey out
of town to witness football games
to be played at several places over
the state, while family dinners and
special Thanksgiving services will
attract others.
Church Meeting
At LaFayette St.
A meeting of the church confer
ence will be held at the LaFayette

7 o’clock, according to the pastor,
Rev. T. B. Johnson All stewards,
trustees, president of the Wesley
Bible class, president of the Wo

president of the Fjworth league
are urged to attend.

Police Force Planned To
Patrol Highways In N. C
Legislature Coming May Debate Idea Of
Placing 100 Men On Patrol. Would
Lessen Road Danger
A state constabulary to patrol
North Carolina highways and a
State license for drivers will doubt
less come before the Legislature
this spring in the opinion of Frank
Page, State highway commission
er, who has been advocating a
State constabulry and drivers’ li
cence for several years, says the
News and Observer,
On the two problems of how the
force was to U* financed, and und
er whose administration it would
fall, Mr..Page refused to commit
himself iu beating that was a
measure for the Legislature, lie
made it plain, however, that he did
not advocate the State constabul
ary as a part of the state highway
commission.
He talked at length of the nec
essary of a force of at least 100
patrolmen, which would, he esti
mated. cost about $250,000 a year
to maintain and equip. The prime
object of such men, he explained,
would not bo to nrro«t people, but
to net as traffic ‘officers—to ex
pedite rather than *.old up traffic.
With 3uch n force in action in
the Stale, the danger to motorists
caused by drunken and reckless
drivers would nlso be lessend, he
pointed out, as the officers would
be charged with upholding the
law as well as affording protect
ion and aid to motorists wherever
possible.
He went into the subject of a
State license fully, explaining that
the license should be issued only
after examination showing com
petency as a driver. Every opera
tor of o motor vehicle should be
required to carry his license card
with him when operating a car,
and violations of traffic rules
should be noted on the back of the
cards. Continued violation of rules
should result in having the license
revoked.
The public, at large, be main
tained, should be protected from
drivers who have failed to show
the proper respect for the safety
of “the other fellow” by reckless
driving or operating a car while
intoxicated.
Charles Ross, assistant attorney
general, assigned to the highway
commission, produced figures
showing the 412 death had occur
red as results of highway acci
dents last year, and that about
2,000 serious accidents had occur
red in the State highways with an
estimated property loss of $3,000,
000.
Regarding; the practical opera
tion of such a force, he pointed
to Pennsylvania which is regarded
as the most effectively managed
force in the Union, arious other
states especially those with heavy
traffic, have solved the traffic
problem in this way, and greatly
lowered the number of accidents.
Mr. Ross could see no better way
of administering a constabulary
force than the code laid down by
Major Warner, of the New York
State Police, which is:
“Be an interpreter of the law to
those who question it—an uphold
er of those who seek its protection
—a relentless enforcer to those
who seek to break it. To be suc
cessful you must be popular, and
to be popular you must be honest,
courteous and fair. Give a maxi
mum of protection with a mini
mum of interference with the
rights of citizens':”
Although Mr. Page suggested
that only j nominal fee he charged
for the drivers’ license, others
suggest that this fee be made to
cover the cost of maintaining such
a force. With the large number of
drivers in this state, the fee would
not have to be large to cover the
$250,000 necessary for such a force
and also cover the cost of issuing
the licenses.
Fall Business
Already Moving
Up In Shelby
Cheer up and prepare for
Kris Kringle!
The business lull that has
generally been felt over the
section teems to be giving
away to better and better bus
iness. the business men of
Shelby say so.
What's more business at this
period of the year is better
with local merchants—some of
j them, at least—than it was at
the same time last year. One
of the officials of one of Shel
by’s largest stores says defin
itely that the sales at his
store week before last, the
most recent check-up, showed
a gain of 9500 over the same
week for last year. Pessimism
cannot get around that.
Moreover, the crowds here
Saturday were perhaps the
best buying crowds of the
year. Numerous local business
men stated it was a business
Saturday without equal so
far this fall. In numbers the
| shopping crowds seemed to be
i up to, or above the usual Sat
urday crowds, and from the
| standpoint of purchases made
was better than all others
since the cotton slump.
The holiday spirit is in the
air fur one thing, and times
haven’t been so hard as some
thought. Anyway, they defin
itely appear to be improving
Heavy Sentences
In Gaffney Court
Gaffney, Nov. 20.—“Judgment
day” in circuit court yesterday
was filled with tragic pathos, hu
mor, mercy, and practically every
motion that strikes a responsive
chord in the human breast.
Circuit Judge J. K. Henry im
posed the sentences after making
exhaustive inquiries concerning
the details of each case. All de
fendants who had been convicted
or who pleaded guilty during the
week lined up in front of the bar
of justice at 9:30 yesterday morn
ing. The judge’s task was not
1 completed until about 2 o’clock in
the afternoon.
Not more than ten, and not less
than five years was the sentence
meted out to J. M. Jolley, Cow
pens battleground farmer, convict
ed by a jury of assault and battery
with intent to .kill Jesse N. Vas
sey, Chesnee constable, who was
severely injured while raiding a
moonshine distillery last July. In
addition Jolly was given another
sentence of two years and a fine
of $250 for violating the prohibi
tion law, with twelve months of
this sentence suspended. His son,
Claude Jolly, received a similiar
term for violating the prohibition
law.
Under the two sentences J. M.
Jolly is facing not less than six
years. He served notice of appeal
in both cases and was granted
bond in the sum of $1,000.
J. L. Goodson, Blacksburg furni
ture dealer and undertaker, was
sentenced to serve not less than
two and not more than four years.
He was convicted of assault and
battery with intent to kill in con
nection with an attack on John F.
Cline ,his next door neighbor. No
tice of appeal was served and he
was granted bond in the sum of
$1,000.
