Fall**011 High Ends Season Of Football Playing p j of Score Even In Defeat— r°jast Came Is Played To a jie with Bessemer City Fallston. Nov. 22.—The Fallston a,j 0f twelve dwindled to eleven ^hen it faced Boiling Springs to . v The team was forced to place half back in the line up who had * vCr played or trained for foot hall in bis life. The sub half back was not a member of the squad even and the only available sub stitute was a tackle who had to re place an end who was knocked out in the first part of the second ^This is not an alibi for the de feat which the Cleveland countv champions administered to Fall «ton bv the score of 24-0. Fallston Span's' that the game would have been lost even nad the squad had twenty members because no team can aspire to beat a good team like the Boiling Springs eleven in the first year of play. F. H. S. feels that 24-0 is a score to be proud of with the victory belong ing to a hard-hitting, bard clip ping. low tackling club like the Bailing Springs crew. The vic tors felt that we denied them more than half of their expectations ?n the way of scoring. Every Fall fton boy played the whole game as if hi? honor depended on the out eome. In defeat, we congratulate the victors and are proud of our showing which indicates that we : have a good rating as seconds to all the best high school teams in the county. On Tuesday, November 1C, Fall | ston played Bessemer City to a scoreles tie. Fallston had prev iously beaten Bessemer City and again advanced the ball to the goal line several times to lose it on downs. We ieel that Bessemer City ought to be congratulated on their efforts during the season as that team has carried on in the face of a very great number of handicaps. Their squad is only one or two larger than Fallston’s squad. Bessemer high should feel proa i of her hoys who have gone ahead in spite of everything. Folks, football is a rough game hut not a Fallston player has re ceived a serious injury during the year, and some of the members of ! the squad have gained from fif- i teen to twenty pounds in weight. All of the boy» have gained five pounds or more. They have also learned a lot about seif control, and have been excellent in their deportment at school. Athletics in the school: today are responsible fer better conduct on the part of students. Fighting and all sorts of mischief which once was the bane of school masters has disappeared because gentlemanly forms of re creation have taken their places in establishing better conduct and sportsmanship. -schedules Ir.tcr-Carolina Motor Bus Company Shelby to Charlotte—7. 0, 11. 1, 3, 5, 7:30—Charlotte to Shelby—8, 10, 12, 2, 4, 6.

Father Missionary of Shelby Baptist Church Reprinted below are .portion of two letters from Shelby residents of (hina, detailing adventures during the “Red” war in that country. The first letter. “In ctuo tations”) was written by Miss Oreon Bostick, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wade Bostick, to her par ents. Miss Bostick is attending school in a mountain region two hundred miles from the point where her parents live. The letter she sent them was dated Septem ber 16th and arrived October 9th, which gives a good idea of the : “speed” of mail traffic in the Orient. The second part of the letter was written by Mrs. Wade Bostick, signed “Flora”, addressed to Misses Judie and Bertha Bostick in Shelby. Mr. Wade Bostick, father of j Miss Oreon, was sent to China from : the First Baptist church, of Shel by. He has been in the Orient off) and on for about thirty-five years.! It will be recalled that his broth er. G. P. Bostick, also of Shelby, j father of Miss Bertha Bostick, who IS a music teacher in (he Shelby | hiph school, died last summer in China where he had been a mis j sionary for about thirty years. The two letters follow: KiKung Shan. Sep. 16th.1 “I guess you have already heard ! ;the rumors of .the Reds first tak-| | ’n& Muchang then coming on upj the line to Sinyang Chow. We had | | S0lre pretty exciting times yester dav and today. At noon yesterday, * jc t before going to dinner, Mes-i j srs. Nelson and Witt were here | I telling Mr. Granskow that there ■ ■ was fighting at the tunnel between the Northern and Southern armies and the smoke could be seen from Auld’s point. So accordingly, most of the older children went to ; the point to witness the scene, which was nothing more than see | ing the smoke of the firing about three rides away and seeing Chin’s I soldiers troop past Camel’s hump | to the front. It was strange that i they should be fighting amongst i the mountains instead of following | the railroad, but I guess the Reds i want to take a short cut to Sin yang Chow. The moving of the Chinese from Chinatown to hide in peoples base ments, wells, under rocks and where rtot, was enough to make any one excited, but we still felt pretty safe here for General Chin was here with all his troops, so we did not fear the mountain would be taken, but were really quite j thrilled in being so near and yet so far from the battle.) We went to bed feeling quite safe except for the wild rumors of i the Chinese that the mountain 1 ; would be taken, especially. General j Chin’s place. We slept till about i : four in the morning, when there j was a fierce and terrible racket ' at Gen. Chin’s place. Guns were firing there as well as in any other direction. The Reds had pushed up past Camels Hump and were triumphantly taking posses , sion of the mountains, with bugles blowing and drums "beating and shooting down the retreating sol diers. Which to say the least was 1 not very many, since General Chin and all his men had fled to Sin yang Chow during the night, leav ing but few to nrotect the hill. Though there was little fighting it was a hot time up here while i it lasted, bullets went flying in J every direction. Our house was not so endangered as some other houses because it was hidden be hind a cliff. But those on the top of hills and among the trees were the ones that received most of the firing because that was where the northern soldiers would be trying to hide. But Mr. Granskow thought that it would be better to have all the school children at one place; so when we started to the school was when the excitement began for us. Bullets were whiz zing around and just as we came out from behind a little hill by Mr. Thorson’s, unexpectedly we saw a small group of soldiers that were firnig right down past us. I tell you what we surely made a dive for the ground and lay down perfectly flat till they had gone by. When we all made a line for the school and were surely glad to get there without any stray bul lets hitting us. By now most of the excitement has subsided and every thing seems as peaceful as ever except for the occasional firing of the Reds to show that they still have possession. It surely is sur prising, but we have not been in the least molestead. In fact it is rumored that they have orders to protect the missionaries and their homes. And so far they have not come over to this valley to loot; though several business peoples houses have been thoroughly loot ed right before their eyes. It cer tainly seems almost miraculous that there was so little fighting and so few amongst the Chinese hurt. Honestly all of us up here have turned Red almost, for I j have never before seen such cour-| ; teous soldiers. We had heard such ; wild rumors about how they treat* | ed foreigners and how anti Christ ian they were, but if they are like that they have not shown them selves like that here. The excitement has passed now, but the thrill of thinking we have been in midst of a battle, the thrill of seeing the battlefield from belong KiKung Toa thru the busi ness valley, the thrill of hearing the hugle calls every morning and evening, reminding me so much of home, hasn’t abated in the slight est little bit. A bugle is sounding right now in the business valley and 1 just love to hear it.” 1 will add in way of explanation to Oreon’s letter that the southern army is called Red by the north erners because of their being und er the influence of Russia. Gen Chin who she mentions is one of the biggest genels under Wu Pei Fu. He has headquarters on Ki Kung and one of the finest man sions there that I have seen in China. It is situated right on the top of a high peak and surround ed by beautiful grounds. One day last summer when I was passing in that direction I asked the guards if I might go in and see the flow ers and he let me vn and there were some of the prettiest I ever saw anywhere. It was rumored that he had large amounts of am munition and guns and other war supplies accumulated there for emergencies is why the Reds went there and not that it was any nearer to Sinyang Chow than by the railroad as Oreon thought. In fact it was further but it was well woitb their while to take the place to get hold of all those sup plies. FLORA BOSTICK A Sure Sign Smith->~Well, this wet straw voting: at least shows on thing.

Dr. Thomas Arkle Clark, Dean, University of Illinois: IF N C. (HI CBOSSKS EH Highway Commission Announces Drastic Reductions in I.ate Day Death Traps Raleigh.—Over half the grade crossings that were in existence on State highways on January 1, 1921 have been eliminated by relocation under-passes and o-. er-passes, ac cording to figures obtained from the State highway commission. In 1921 there were 776 grade cross ings. On November I, last, the number had been reduced to 351. On the 425 grade crossings that have been eliminated, 324 were cut out by re-location or roads. In ad dition there have been built 59 un der-passes and 42 over-passes. Many Go in Fourth In the Fourth District, in which is Raleigh, the percentage of re duction has been even higher than for the State as a whole. In 1921 there were 120 grade crossings in this district while today there aro but 33. Sixty-eight percent, or 82 crossings have been done away with. The elimination In the Fourth District was achieved by 10 under passes, seven over-passes, and re location that did away with 65 other crossings. At present there are consider ably more grade crossings in the eastern section of the State than in the central and western. There are! two reasons for this, say officials of the commission. In the first place, the flat character of the eastern section makes both over and under passes very expensive and in the second place there are so many small railroad lines, carrying only one or two trains a day, cr. the coastal plains. The commission hesitates to build an underpass or overpass crossing a “jerk-water” line over which there is so little traffic. Es pecially is this true when the pass over or under this lino would be, by virtue of the flat country, so many times more expensive than a pass over or under main lines in the cen tral and western sections. letter Laughs.

I • College Worker* Urge More Milk Former Demonstrator in Cleveland Puts On Milk Campaign In Davidson County Milk is a fond, a healthy food and a complete food other than a mere beverage. It is essential to the proper development of the young of all animal life; it hard ens the hones; makes sound teeth and is a better beautifier than the prepared nostrums of the chemist. Such, in brief, was the message given to over 12,000 persons in Davidson county during the week of November IS, when Miss Eliza beth Cornelius, home agent, put on a special “Milk-for-health” week in the county. Miss Cornelius was assisted by a group of extension workers from State college and the United States department of agriculture. She also had the cor dial support of the school authori-; ties both in the towns and in the county .The young ladies taking special training at the Churchland school aided in spreading the mes- j sage and before the week was over, each school child, white or, colored, had heard how milk im proves the general health and re lieves undernourishment. A total of 11,974 pupils were reached in 234 talks. The reaction \vas excellent and practically every school child stated that he would ask his parents for milk to drink in the future. But the message was also given to adults and five talks were made before 440 members of civic clubs and parent-teacher as sociations. The workers in the campaign found much apparent undernour ishment. One of the interesting things found was that the Bap tist Orphanage at Thomasville with 445 children examined had only 46 children who were 10 per- ' cent or more underweight. Of the total number of children, 432 were drinking milk each day. The exten sion specialists state that this was a good demonstration of the value of milk in the diet, because 97 per ! cent of the children received milk j and only'ten percent were under- j nourished. ILLINOIS GIRL KILLS N. Y. MAN WHO BETRAYED HER New York.—A 16-year-old girl Saturday night shot and fatally wounded a man as he stepped from a barber shop in the Bronx. The firl fired two shots at the man and as he fell stepped over his body and fired a third time. Then she turned the gun over to a police man. When arrested, she said she was Catherine Donino, 16, of Evanston, Illinois. The man died white being taken to a hospital. lie was Louis Fino, 24, a tile-setter, of the Bronx. Desire to be avenged for a wrong done her four years ago brought her here alone from Evanston, she snid. Her purpose was accomplished now, she told police, and she was content. Without tears or remorse, she ex plained that she had been attack ed hy Fine when she waS 12 years old. In 1925 she married Rocco Ilen ino and the couple went to Evan ston to live. Two weeks ago her hus band received a letter from Fino, demanding money and threatening exposure. This letter is now in pos session of the police. Engaged by the letter, the gill continued, her husband ordered her out of their home. She came to New York seeking revenge.

SATURDAY, NOV. 27TH SOUTH SHELBY PHARMACY The growth of the South in recent years is one of the outstanding developments of the nation. It is seen by the following facts: In the 15-year period, 1910-1925, thi coal mined in the states of the South served by the Southern Railway System has increased 65 per cent; the pig iron production increased 14 per cent; active cotton spindles increased 53 per cent; and the total value of mineral pro duction increased 205 per cent. In the two decades, 1900-1920, the value of farm property in these states increased from approximately $2,500,000,000 to more than $10,000,000,000. And in the 20-year period, 1904-1923, the value of all manufactures produced in these states increased from about $1,200,000,000 to almost $5,000,000,000. Such has been the growth of the South. The growth of the Southern Railway System in the same period also is impressive. In the last twenty-five years the total investment in the Southern Railway System has increased about $375,000,000—from $400,000, 000 in 1900 to $775,000,000 in 1925. The total freight traffic handled by the Southern has increased about 250 per cent. The ability of the Southern Railway System to supply ade quate transportation to the growing South has been a vital factor in the healthy economic development of the states served by the Southern. Every day on the Southern about 8.000 carload* nffreiyh t are hand ed over to ii for movement. $
