Bick In The Forties The Men ! Wrote Well and Were Models Of Respect and Courtesy If you think old men could not wine well and were crude and Wont in their expressions, you should read a petition for a bridge across the river near Zion church six miles north of Shelby. This ! petition was found by Mayor A. P. Weathers in old store records of j bis grandfather, Billy Weathers, j who ran a still and a store and i one of the “nillows” in Zion church which celebrated its one hundred anniversary a feyr years ago. Back in those days it was no disgrace to manufacture liquor because drinking was moderate. The book in which the petition was found is dated 1832, just 1 nety-five years ago. but the pet ition is thought to have bepn cir culated in the forties for it bears the signature of the lamented Rev. T. Dixon. The petition reads: worth Carolina, Cleveland county; Greetings: To the wor :h>|>fiii court. Your humble peti t on -r«i represent to your worships tlv- great inconvenience and dis advantage under which they lab our for want of a bridge across lir-t Broad river at Weathers lord where there was formerly’ a bridge. Your petitionerds are often prevented from attending public worship and subjected to travel ma,,y miles out of the way to reach the village of Shelby where they are frequently called to per Wm public duties as jurors, wit etc., for the want of the bridge at the place above designat ed. They, therefore, respectfully request your worships to grant jheni an appropriation of the pub lf’ money to defray the expenses °i building the contemplated bridge as in duty bound your pet dinners Will ever pray.” Here are a few of the men who r Kned the petition, all using ink and writing legible .signatures: jas C.

KIWIS TOURNEY FOR GOLFERS OF DISTRICT HERE Cleveland Sp-ings Club Plans Big Tournament For District Luncheon Clubs A big K:\vr.nis golf tournament for every Kiwanis club in this dis trict is being planned by officials of the Cleveland Springs Golf club, it is learned. Some time during the Spring the tourney will be held on the local course and it is hoped to have an entrant for every Kiwanis club in the district over which J. D. Lir.ebcrger is lieutenant-govern or. This means that the event should be one of the biggest golf affairs ever staged Here and local golfers and luncheon club mem bers will offer a handsome prize to the best Kiwanian golfer in the district. The Kiwanis tournament is just one of the several events directors of the local, golf club are planning for the spring ar.d summer months, and the tourfteys will introduce to outsiders an dgolfers of neighboi 'ug towns and cities what prom ises to be one of the three ou* standing golf courses in North Carolina. Since several ministers in this j section of the state are ardent fol- ! lowers of golf as a medium of] exercise and relaxation the local club at a recent meeting decided as a courtesy to extend them free membership in the club. A ridicu lously low membership fee of $15 has been set for non-residential golfers and with this low fee it is thought that many fairway fans of neighboring towns will become members.

Atlas Tillman, young man who lives near Fallston, was in Shelby today exhibiting a small black bid die, hatched last Thursday, that does not have any eyes. The chick has small sunken places in its head at the usual location of the eyes, but these spots are covered with down like the remaining portions of its body and nothing to resemble eyes can be found about the head. On the top of the head, however, is a knot. Tillman first learned that the chicks was blind when it became lost from the mother hen and could not find her. It still appears lusty although somewhat weak from the lack of feed, not beVng able to see and pick up feed as other chicks. Tillman plans to raise it if pos sible, although it will necessitate careful hand feeding until an in stinct develops to feed itself minus sight.

Highway Commission Announces No More Loans to be Accept ed From Counties. Bundle up your kit of dreams I about having all the Cleveland j county highways paved and toss it out the back door. Not long since A. M. Kistler, highway commissioner for this dis trict, was said to be in favor of paving all the highways in this county—the paving to be carried j out through the regular road ap j propriations and a $500,000 loan j from the county to the state. Over j this county a remarkable amount ! of friendliness developed for the ‘ plan. Dozens of other counties had I made similar loans and are now motoring over splendid highways,( while as yet Cleveland must be con- ! tent to flivver out to one of high way 20 then back to the other edge of the county, that is, if the driv ing is to be restricted to paving. Then just about the time the en tire county had decided that the f plan should be carried out and the loan made along came the word from the highway commission at torney saying that no more loans! will be accepted from counties de siring more paving. And that’s that, and Highway 20 is just what i we have. It is hinted that the commission action anticipated a possible legis lative move that would prohibit counties advancing, loan funds where roads were wanted without waiting for an extended length of time. The so-called Kistler proposal gave a vision to Cleveland county motorists of having Highway 18, paved from Morganton to Shelby and on to the South Carolina line,: and also of having Highway 20*5 from Shelby to Lincolnton paved,1 but just as the tempting plum seemed in the process of being ex- | tended along came the commission and shook the tree. Result: No plums today; just lemons as usual and Highway 20 to play on mean time.

Basketball as a major high school sport here blossomed out in rainy weather last Friday afternoon with the first game in the new gymnasium here being a double header tilt, both boys’ and girls’ teams participating. Casey Morris’ Shelby Highs, not so well known heretofore in basketball, trimmed the Blacks burg quint 25 to 10, but thf> Blacksburg girls secured revenge for their swains by defeating Prof. Tollison’s Shelby girls 21 to 16. The weather held back what might have been a good crowd for the Shelby’s first real' indoor bas ket h'II. hut the exhibit staged by the local teams should well adver tise coming contests and along the underground channel maintain ed by dopesters comes the word that Shelby might have a state champ boys’ Outfit had another month’s training been possible, and the girls playing their first year, either outdoors or in, are im proving at a rapid rate. Coach Morris has a shifty, speedy quint that passes well and never jeopardizes its game with long shooting. Gold, center, and Lavmon Beam, guard, led the scor ing with 10 and nine points respec tively, both more than trebling the highest individual Blacksburg score. Mauney and Beam, speedy and alert, have promising futures in the cage game, athletic follow ers say, and the remainder of the quint together with the subs are far from poor court performers, although lacking a systematic training as yet.

In addition to new matters wi-dh may come up. the Senate is fsclo-duied ,o take action on a num ber of bills which were deferred at Friday’s session. T ■■ bill ii, tnange the automo bile license registration date to the f ist of the calendar year will be taken up at Monday right's session. Another bill, requiring registra tion of drug stores and pharmacies is on Monday night’s calendar. Ac tion or. the bill was deferred by its author, Senator Hancock. The bill authorizing the State highway commission to pay half of the expenditure of erecting a bridge on the North CarolinacVir ghia line also is scheduled to be thrashed out Monday. The bridge bill would enable the highway commission to save from $30,000 to $50,000 in construction of the bridge at a point 250 yards across the line in Virginia, as the biidgtat this point would neces siate a shorter route than if the bridge was constructed on the State line. Several Games On For Shelby _L V The Shelby High basketball auir.t will play Belmont Abbey at fltlm lmont Tuesday night, it is an nounced. On Friday night the Bel lAfmt Abbey outfit will come here ft>r a return game in the new gym n iisiuni. This game will be so tim e 1 as not to interfere with the A r'ebb contests. Several other games are on the n ;xt week schedule of the Highs including two likely games with the fast Kings Mountain cage squad. E DEFUNCT BATTERY Brr<her-In-Law of Ike Berger, Former Store Partner, Pays $4,300 For Defunct Stock R. A. Sipkoe of the Charlotte Salvage company, was the success ful bidder Saturday for the de funct SiOek of the Battery mer chandise in the W. C. Whisnant building on N. LaFayette street, paying therefore $4,300 which will be distributed among the creditors. The Battery was owned and operated by Ike Berger and M. S. Darholt. Two weeks ago after an attempt had been made to com promise with the creditors on a twenty-five per cent basis had failed, Berger and Darholt made a voluntary assignment and the doors were closed. W. C. Whis nant was appointed trustee. All creditors were notified of the sale which was duly advertised and on Saturday a number of bids were received, ranging from $2,100 to $4,300. R. A. Sinkoe, a brother-in law of Berger who makes a prac tice of buying up bankrupt stocks and owns a half dozen or more stores in the Carolinas, was the highest bidder and Mr. Whisnant declared the stock sold to him. It is understood that the store will re-open the last of this week and that the goods will be sold, from the present stand. Creditors have claims against The Battery of approximately $20,000 so with the stock selling for only $4,300, they will realize less than twenty-five cents on the dollar. Tax On Bobbed Hair Cited A* A Shelby Need S Take care, milady, if one 'man has his way your shorn locks and boyish bobs may be taxed. Some time back The Star staged a contest in citing five outstanding meeds of the town and county. Only last week a belated list wa3 forwarded, and one of the important needs cited by the writer, Clarence P. Wright, was that thert, should be a tax on the bobbed hair of all girls and women over 15 years of age. The suggested plan was that the tax be add ed the regular bobbing price at the “bobber shops” and then turned over for the welfare of the town. i -'ir: o Grit ancl Skill Ce<.rK° Young. 17-v, ar-old boy who mm the Catalina channel IS I,v 'i***1,a* he "as h0,r'K handed his $2& 000 prize cieck b> william Wrigley.

Whether or not you Believe in friend woodchuck and his shadow antics—many do and many do not —you have heard much concerning him, ai.d approximately speaking it might be said that at least 5,000 readers of The Star will look forward to the weather as the ground hog predicts it. Meaning that Wednesday, Feb ruary 2, is Groundhog day. The ground hog, the harbinger of spring, according to the legend comes out from his long winter sleep on the second of February to take a look around and satisfy himself as to weather conditions. He is a very close observer along this line and there are those who believe firmly in him. According to the -story Mr. Ground Hog. arouses himself on this date, shakes himself a little, does a little stretching, to get his legs in shape, and then sallies forth. He does not wander far from his winter home, however, for this first trip. He takes careful note on weatner signs ana men glance around closer to himself* to see if he can locate his shadow. If he discovers his shadow, he does not remain out for long. On the contrary he makes his way back to his den or where ever he may have happened to have spent the win ter, and makes ready for another snooze. For, according to the story if this little animal gets a glimpse of his shadow, he knows that the winter is not yet over. If, how ever on the other hand, he fails 10 see his shadow, this is a safe sign that the spring will soon be here, and that the hardest of the cold weather has passed. So be on the lookout for the weather signs Wednesday. If it is a clear sun shiny day, and the sun is shining brightly at noon, you may rest assured that he will have to burn some more coal yet this winter. If the sun goes under a cloud at noon the sign is sure that spring is not far off. Every year there is quite a con troversy among folks who follow this sign as to whether or not the ground hog saw his shadow. But to be certain in your mind, keep careful tab at noon on the second, and determine for yourself if the ground hog could have seen his shadow, and then draw your own conclusions as to the prospects for an early spring. FUNERAL SUNDAY P. L HEiESSA: DIED ON FRIDAY Promient Business Man And Churchman is Victim Of > Heart Trouble Mr. P. L. Hennessa, prominent business man and churchman, was buried Sunday afternoon, the fun eral service beiiijr held at the Central Methodist church where he was for years a steward and treasurer of the Sunday school.
