BELMONT HI
Local Quint Defeated Strong Abbey
Five Here Tuesday Night. Big
Game Friday Night.
Playing at Belmont Tuesday
night Casey Morris’ Shelby High
basketball quint defeated the strong
Belmont Abbey team bjNthe close
score of 21 to 19 in what is term
ed the hottest game the highs have
played so far this year.
The outcome is interesting locally
because of the fact that the Abbey
five comes here Friday night for a
return game in the new gymnasium
and athletic officials are seeking
a big crowd for the floor contest.
The game will be played at V
o’clock so that it may be ended
prior to the Webb contests in the
school auditorium. Although late
in starting the season the High
<;umt is rapidly rounding into form
and may as yet make a stiff race
for the state title. Going into its
iirst real basketball schedule high
school officials are anxious that
•Shelby fans turn out Friday night
snd see a Shelby team that can

floor as well as on the gridiron and

In Tuesday’s game Beam, vetcr

High School Girls To Compete In
Reciting Friday For Webb Medal
Friday night comes the big
event of the school year for
high school girls of Cleveland
county when they compete at
the Central school auditorium
here for the Selma C. Webb
Recitation Medal.
The big annual event is schedul
ed for eight o’clock and will follow
immediately a fast basketball game
in the local gymnasium between the
Shelby Highs and the Belmont
Abbey prep school quintet.
Following the recitation contest
the winner of the Selma Webb es
say contest will also be announced.
Eight Entreats Perhaps.
So far seven entrants from seven
high schools of the county have
been announced. One girl from each
school may enter and girls from the
following schools are already in:
Boiling Springs, Piedmont, Shelby,
Waco, Grover, Lattfmore and Bel
wood. It is also thought that Falls
ton may have an entrant.
In addition to the recitations
there will be numerous musical
selections aby the various schools it
is understood. An effort is being
matia this week to secure out-of
town judges for the contest, accord
ing to J. H. Grigg, county super-i
intendent, and as the judges have
not been selected the names of the
entrants will not likely be made
public prior to the contest Friday
night.
The Webb contests have been
staged here for years and rank with
the Hoey Oratorical contest for
boys as the high lights of the coun
ty school year.
Says Price Of Cotton Will Stay
At Present Low Level Next Year
Dr. Forster Thinks Cotton Acreage Of South Will Not Be
Cut Over 10 Percent In
Year Of 1927
Raleigh,—“The outlook for the
cotton crop in 1927 is most dis
couraging, the reduction in acreage
will not amount to over 10 per cent
for the entire cotton belt and tha
price of cotton produced this year
will in all probability remain at
the present low levels” declared Dr.
G. W. Forster, aricultural econo
mist at State college upon, his re
turn from Washington where he
helped to make a survey of farar.
ing conditions over the entire na
tion. Dr. Forster served on a special
| committee appointed by the Unit
| ed States department of ugricul
' ture.
Dr. E. C. Brooks, president of
! State college and chairman of the
| central committee appointed in this
| state to secure reduction of cotton
! acreage by a program of diversi
fication, estimated two weeks ago a
reduction for North Carolina in ex
cess of 25 per cent.
This estimate was declared last
night to be still accurate and to
bein no way effected by Dr. For
ster’s estimate for the entire South,
which is predicted on anticipation
j of increased cotton acreage in
iexas and UKianoma.
Dr. Forster stated that the crop
of 1926 amounted to over 18,600,000
bales which is the largest crop on
record. The carry-over on August
first, was 5,750,000 bales and the
consumption of American cotton in
1927 will not exceed 15,000,000
bales. The world carry-over of
American cotton will be close to
9.000,000 bales which will make
the carry-over in 1927 the largest
on record.
Dr. Forster stated that the
acreage of American cotton in
1927 will probably not be reduced
more than ten per cent. The re
duction will be greater than this
in some sections but because of
favorable conditions in West
Texas and Oklahoma where in
creases in acreage rather than de
creases are to be expected, the
i farmers should not anticipate a
reduction greater than 10 per cent
for the whole belt.
If this be true, 14,000,000 bales
of cotton will be produced in 1927.
This amount plus the nine million
bale carry-over will give a supply
of 23,000,000 bales for 1927,
states Dr. Forster. Added to this
is the fact the world’s consump
tion of cotton will likely be less in
1927 than it was in 1926 and this
will reduce the demand for cotton.
Dr. Foster finds further that the
purchasing power of the United
States and of the leading European
, countries will not be materially in
creased this year which means
that the demand for cotton will
not increase.
“Obviously, the outlook for cot
ton for the entire South is most
1
j discouraging,” says Dr. Forster.
: "We must therefore urge that
each individual North Carolina
farmer consider the facts that we
j have had presented to us by pres
ent conditions. The outlook for
southern agriculture for 1927 and
the years immediately ahead is
not bright. The fact seems to be
that the South is on the verge of
an impending agricultural revolu
tion, the effects of which on our
social and economic conditions
may be far-reaching.”
Dr. Forster states that farmers,
generally, have not yet learned to
use the available information on
the supply and demand for var
ious crops which they are pro
ducing and they act independently
in adjusting their production to
meet market demands. There is a
feeling, too, that if another large
crop is produced, Congress will
step in and furnish relief. Dr. For
ster believes that Texas and Okla
homa will increase the acreage.

Raleigh.—-The fate of Represen
tative 1). Scott Poole’s anti-evolu
tion bill, revised edition of 1U27,
dangled in the balance as the gener
al assembly entered its fifth week, i
Only a hint of a forthcoming j
fundamentalist-modernist eontro'
versy in the 11)27 session of the |
legislature has been wrought by the •
introduction of the widely-herald-,
ed Poole bill. The bill was dumped
into the house hopper, referred to
a committee, and that’s all.
Pyrotechnics are expected to
make themselves audible on Febru-j
ary 10, when the house education |
commission, composed of some 401
legislators, holds a hearing on the
Poole “monkey" bill.
Meanwhile, as the proposed piece'
of legislation is the center of spec
ulation in Capitol corridors, Tam I
Bowie, of the “lost provinces”
fame, points out the constitution-1
ality of the Poole bill.
Bowie, who has just been chosen
legal adviser of the North Caroline
Bible league, militant outgrowth
of the famous “Committee of 100"
brought the bill to Raleigh.
The Poole bill bears the stamp
of approval of the Bible league.
The 1025 edition of the Poole bill,
which expired in a committee room
and the ’anti-evolution’ platform
formulated recently by the Bible
league, were combined to make the
1927 product. Representative Poole
however, is not a member of the
Bible league.
The Capitol is not worried over
the .possibility of the 1027 legisla
ture passing any anti-evolution leg
islation. But then Tam Bowie has
succeeded in accomplishing strang
er things—the memorable trade
with the legislature over a railroad
in r925, for instance.
Representative Poole, the “Fight
ing Editor from Hoke” is keeping
his own counsel regarding the pro
posed piece of legislation, but in a
quiet way has expressed complete
confidence that his hill will be en
acted into law, despite the fiasco
of 1025.

fused to issue licenses on the
Sabbath. Many a young couple
from North Carolina has come to
Sabbath dav, seeking the probate
judge for the purpose of getting
the papers and then getting all
hooked up in harness doubled, only
fo be told that they must come
back next day. since there was
nothing doing in the marriage line
on Sunday. Judge Smith, however,
looks on it in a different light.
"Sure, I am going to marry enu-;
pies on the Sabbath when they
come to me for that purpose, he
told the reporter. “On Sunday,
Januarv 23, I married four cou
ples. Understand, I don’t want to
encourage the coming of couples
from North Carolina or anywhere
else to he married on Sunday, hut
if they do come I’ll issue the li
cense and marry them all the
same. Preachers perform the mar
riage ceremony, on the Sabbath day
in all parts of the State and the
country; and I see no reason why
I should refuse to issue marriage 1
licenses and perform the cere
mony when they come. As I say. I
don’t want to encourage this Sun- i

the position that if couples come
to York for that purpose on the

Rev. T. M. Lowery
Die3 In York, S. C.
A telephone message this
morning brings news that Rev.
i\ M. Lottery, D. D., former
pastor of the Presbyterian
church of Shelby, died at his
home in York, S. C„ at 10 a.
m. Dr. Lowery had been in
delicate health for two months
or longer. Mrs. Lowery is a
sister of Mrs. R. L. Ryburn
of Shelby who was at his bed
side at the time the end came.
Dr. Lowery was one of the out
standing ministers in the Pres
, byterian denomination and has
filled many large and impor
tant pastorates. Fie was a man
of strong personality, cleab,
logical mind and a most com
panionable and affable gentle
man, Surviving are his wife
and two children, a son and
1 daughter, both grown. His re
1 mains will be buried in York
Thursday.
Holds Up Burial
Of Negro, Thought
Foul Play Victim
When spectators viewed the re
mains of Berry Boyd, 24-year-old
negro at Shoal Creek this morning
where the grave was open ready
for burial, one remarked to Boyd’s
mother that his neck was broken
and he was bruised about the head.
Thereupon, the mother ordered that
his remains be not buried until
further investigation so having nc
permit for burial, the body was
kept out of the grouid until some
thing more is known of the case.
Boyd had been working for Mr.
Torrence Bridges at Shelton, S. C.,
at a lumber plant. It is reported he
was found dead in bed and his
body brought to lower Cleveland
for interment, but no death certi
ficate or burial permit was brought
along to establish the cause of his
death. When a negro viewed the
remains at Shoal Creek this morn
ing and told the negro’s mother
that his body showed evidence of
foul play, she held up the funeral
services.
Sheriff Logan is getting in com
munication with authoritifes in
South Carolina to determine the
cause of death.

May Be Four Or Five Hats
In Next Mayor’s Election
At Least Five Mentioned In Underground
Political Conversation Heard
About Shelby
< Isy Kerin I >rum.)
Just who do you suppose, now,
will be Mayor A. I\ Weathers
successor?
It's not likely to be Mayor Weath
ers himself for Hizzoncr now on
the job apparently is satisfied with
officially heading Shelby for one
term. Anyhow he says definitely
—and it’s a pretty sure thing when
he says it that way -that he will
not be in the race again.
So that leaves the question mark
and if there’s anything Shelby
would rather do, next to seeing a i
winning football eleven, than any j
thing else it is to talk polities and!
speculate. And for sound proof that!
speculation on the next mayor is!
being made just drop into the Cen
tral hotel lobby most any after
noon. take a chair and listen; or
for that matter take one of the |
corner seats in the Cleveland drug,
store, or a chair near the radiator
in the sheriff’s office. Those are!
the pre-election Waterloos anil
press bureaus of Shelby. i
It’s several weeks yet, and at
least one or two tons of coal until
the gentle breezes of May, but as
has been mentioned before Shelby
would rather speculate on a mayor
than have one, so the decorations
for the Maypole dance are being de
signed.
To date, as those familiar with
such things remember, only one
candidate has made his announce
ment in a paid advertisement. He
is Mr. W. N, Dorsey, real estate
agent. Yet a few moments listening
in one of the lobby chairs at the
Central, or on that split bottom
bench at the Cleveland drug store,
will bring in at least five other
names. No one will say positively
that they will all be in the race, but
they are being talked and thnt
means considerable to political
speculation. And while you’re anx
ious here are the fine gentlemen
who may content with Mr. Dorsey
for Mayor Weathers' chair in the
city hall: Charles R. Doggett,
Hatcher Webb. Robert E. Carpen
ter, Orlando Elam and Former
Mayor W. Dick Lackey. Cough
around over that list and you’ll find
that a pretty good mayor should
come from the assortment. But dc
not be satisfied with that. Several
more may enter, or be talked yet.
None of which must be taken to
mean that the five horsemen above
named will ride in the race. Get it
straight: They’re being talded, by
their friends, enemies, and what
ever else you may desire to acll the
political speculators. There are
those who say that such-and-such
a one among the four will neither
say “Yea' or "Nay”, while still an
other one smiles wisely and refus
es to utter. But since when hasn't
that been the correct etiquette of
being a candidate for mayor?
Meantime there are those among
the speculators who display friend
liness to certain candidates and
gradually the election dopesters are
taking sides. As theta is no reason
for giving the dopesters the pick
ing advantage hetas the line-up,
pick your man—Dorsey, Carpenter
Webb, Doggett, Lackey and Elam.
The only trouble about making your
pick so early’is that some of the
speculative candidates may not heed
the'luring call of the people. Of
course, though, that’s one of the
i handicaps of picking your bargains
| before the sale opens,
j And, by the way, dark horses
remember," have three months-to
get in the running before that final

Incident Below Grover May Have
Resulted from Drunken Spree.
Two Under Arrest.
!
Tuesday morning while officers
I of the law were scouring the
woods below Grover and just across
the South Carolina line looking for
something else they ran upon a
badly injured negro man, who they
thought dead at first However, the
negro, John Williams, was found
to be alive after an examination and
he was taken to Biacksburg for
treatment. *
Since that time officers in this
county and in South Carolina have
been on the lookout for two color
ed boys who were said to have been
with Williams prior to the time he
was found. A telephone message
from Lester Herndon this morning
at Grover revealed that Williams
is still unable to give a clear ac
count of what happened’ although
he will likely recover and that two
boys are being held at Blacksburg
in connection with Williams in
juries.
Information has it that the col
ored man’s head was slightly bent
in with a rock and as he was bleed
ing profusely when found it was
thought that he was badly injured.
The opinion now is that the man
was perhaps under the influence of
an intoxicant and was partly asleep
and drunk as well as injured. Un
derground rumors have it that the
injuries were received in a ' liquor
party in which a colored woman
figured.
