Students May Beat
Teachers Of Town
But if Licking is Administered It
Will be on Basketball
Floor.
The biggest athletic splurge of
the season is on tonight at the “Tin
can" gym, with two spectacular
faculty-student basketball games
on the card. The unusual sched
ule opens at 7:30 o’clock.
A team of women teachers of the
city has been made up to tackle the
girl students’ team. And the same
stunt is on for the boys. The young
men basketball players amongst
the faculty will wrestle with the
regular high school line up..
The double event is expected to
be some affair—unusual, and full
o f nep.
That the students of both teams
are going to get the goats of their
daily tormentors, is thoroughly un
derstood. On the other hand, it is
said that the faculty teams will be
made up of groups of classy play
ers—both the young women and the
young men, teaching the juvenile
idea to shoot here—having experi
ence on big teams during their col
lege days.
The event is looked forward to
with eagerness in school circles—
and is considered to be a verv
happy and amicable occasypn. the
teachers extending an unusual and
thoughtful courtesy to the children
in the interest of good sportasman
ship in the schools.
It is anticipated a big audience
will be on hand to witness the first;
event of the sort ever pulled off in
Shelby.
The line-up of women teachers
and the regular girls team is a?
follows:
Teachers: Miss Effie Taylor,
Miss Gertrude Samuels, Miss Lil
lian Cunningham, Miss Christine

—> ___— _
Former Mayor And Present
Alderman Announce Today
Two Men Well Versed In City Affairs
Announce Themselves Within Few
Hours Of Each Other.
Get set for one of the liveliest town elections Shelby has
ever experienced.
Today .The Star announces the entrance into the mayor
alty race of two men who will likely play an important part in
a race that was already becoming exceedingly interesting and
“the talk of the town” several months in advance.
The two candidates announcing today are: T. W. Ham
rick, veteran alderman, and W. D. Lackey, former mayor
and sheriff. The order of the names as given is as their
announcement drifted into this office—just a few hours
apart.
Hamrick.
T. W. Hamrick, Veteran alder
man and prominent business man of
Shelby, today announces in The
Star his candidacy for mayor to
succeed the incumbent, Mayor A. P.
Weathers.
This announcement coming un
expectedly to some promises to add
considerable interest in the muni
cipal election of May. Numerous
candidates have been talked of by
friends—even to the number of a
dozen—but so far Mr. Hamrick’s
formal announcement makes only
three candidates 'supposed to be
formally entered—W. N. Dorsey.
Hatcher Webb and Hamrick. How
ever, friends of Tom J. Bahington
have practically ass/red the public
that Babington will be in the race,
while several of those being talked
are expected to formally break into
the race soon. Another late men
tion in the mavoralty talk is the
name of L. E. Ligon. railroad offi
cial here for years «ptr well known
in the town.
Was Mayor Pro Tem.
Mr. Hamrick, who formally an
nounces today, heads one of the
best known business firms of the
town and has long been native in
business and civic leadership. He
has been a member of the board of
aldermen for a neriod ranging be
tween 12 and 15 years, it is said.
For practically one entire term he
served as mayor pro tem of the
town whilp Colonel J. T. Gardner,
the mayor, was on the Mexican
border with the local military com
ps
Mr. Hamrick in the paid adver
tisement announcing his candidacy
srvs that in Monday’s Star he will
give some informing facts of Shel
by past, present and future.
Shelby Berne Mentioned In Talk
Of 1927 Amateur Baseball League
Other towns, even more than
Shelby, have been talking the like
ly entrance this summer of a Shel
by club in the baseball circuit
known last year as the Western
Carolina League.
Reports from Hickory, Newton,
and other towns in the circuit last
year have it that the fast amateur
loop will be performing again this
year and among the towns men
tioned is Shelby.
Just how' Shelby will take to the
proposal the other towns have not
learned, but they recall that Shelby
is a sprightly burg that is growing
and they reason that if the small
town of Valdese could enter a fast
club last year Shelby ought to
stay on the boards during the com
ing summer.
Hereabouts, however, memories
linger of the Blue Ridge circuit of
which Shelby was a member, and
whether or not Shelby will break
into the one-year-old league re*
mains rather doubtful.
The Georgia court of appeals re
cently held that a wife had no
right to “direct or govern the
movements of her husband in the
control and operation of the car.”
Training School
At Central Church
Beginning at 3 o’clock Sunday
afternoon, March 13. at Central
Methodist church, the fourth an
nual Cleveland county standard
training school will open a week’s
work. Courses and instructors
offered are:
The Christian Religion—Rev. C.
S. Kirkpatrick.
Pupil Study:—Prof. Claud T.
Carr.
Junior Pupil—Mrs. E. R. Mi
chaux.
Primary Pupil—Miss Corinne
Little.
Beginner Pupil—Miss Atha Bow
man.
Piano Recital
For Lattimore
The pupils of Misses Calton and
Yelton will give a piano recital at
Lattimore Thursday evening, Mar.
10, at 8 o’clock, according to an^
nouncement.
About 30 students will participate
in the recital, it is said, which is
expected to be one of the big events
of the year to the section.
Get Girls Thought To Have Shown
Here For Exposing In A Theatre
How’s this now?
News dispatches from Jack
son, Miss., state that the mana
ger of the “Music Box Revue”
was arrested for causing the
persons of 41 girls to be lewdly
exposed” in a Jackson theatre.
Warrants, it is said, were also
issued for the 41 girls and 16
men of the show, the girls be
ing charged with exposing
themselves before the public.
The news is this with a ques
tion mark: Was it the same
j company, the Irving Rerlin
“Music Box Revue,” which ap
i neared in Shelby just before
the holidays? Raleigh says it
I was the same company that ap
peared there end locnl folks
think it was the one that ap
peared here.
A business man of that town,
it is said, preferred the charges
declaring the girlies too scant
ily clad, the dances vulgar and
the jokes suggestive. He wit
nessed the show.
He objected particularly to
chorus dances where the girls
partially disrobed and contin
ued dancing with various gar
ments removed.
There was no legal molesta
tion of any kind with the per
formances of the “Revue ’ ap
pearing in Shelby as it appear
ed.
Lackey
W. I). lackey, former mayor of
Shelby and former sheriff of Clev
eland county, is a candidate for the
next mayor of Shelby.
Just a few hours after the can
didacy of T. W. Hamrick was an
nounced—details of which may be
found in the next column—Mr.
Lackey announced h!s entrance into
the race.
So The Star in this issue pre
sents about the most interesting po
litical news of the year.
In speaking of the Lackey candi
dacy little can be said that the
voters of Shelby do not know. Mr.
Lackey familiarly known as “Sher
iff Dick Lackey”, has served as
mayor of Shelby before, not being
able to continue at the time owing
to failing health. Since that time
he has recuperated his health and
has again become a veelcome figure
about the town.
In addition to serving as mayor
of the town Mr. Lackey has serv
ed as sheriff of the county and is
oerhaps one of the best known men
in the county.
Topped the Ticket.
During the last county election
Lackey offered for the county
school board and led the ticket de
site the fact that he was in Hot
Springs, Arkansas, at the time and
did no “politicking” on election day
About town the two announce
ments today will be hailed with in
terest. Three candidate were an
nounced prior to the Lackey entry
and near a dozen were talked. Just
how many of the talked entrants
will yet get into the race remains
to be seen.
Will Have Four
Superior Court
Terms Here Now
Iiill Creating Extra Term of Court
For Shelby Passes House
And Senate.
Cleveland county hereafter
will have four Superior court
terms ei. 'h year, according to a
bill amending court terms in
the adjournment at Raleigh.
In the past before creation of
the county recorder's court,
there were four terms each
year but of recent years only
three terms have been held and
the dockets are so far behind
that br -risters here say it
would take weeks to catch up.
Recently the county bar asso
ciation sent a petition to Ra
leigh asking that the county
again have four terms to take
cr -e of the jammed docket and
the extra cases that come up
nowadays. This petition, it is
thought, resulted in the extra
j term being granted by the as
sembly.
The new term, lawyers think
will he some time during the
middle or latter part of Janu
ary. Of old it came on January
j 1. but the petition asked that it
be the third or fourth week
now as the early time was in
convenient.This gives the coun
: ty court terms in January,
March, August and November.

Hoard Of Education Votes 3 To 1
That Elizabeth School Elec
tion Favored New Site
Voting on the result of a voting
contest is something new but the
county board of education on Mon
day voted 3 to 1 that the result of
the straw ballot election on the
nronosed site for a new school
building resulted in favor of a site
near Elizabeth church. Chairman
Spake did not vote, «o three of the
four members of the board decided
that the election held in the Eli
zabeth and Roberts school districts
was in favor of the Elizabeth site
and against the site of the old
school building near the county
home. Those favoring the old
site were not satisfied with the
result of the county board’s canvass
of the returns and Attorney Peyton
McSwain has been employed to
issue a restraining order to forb:d
the erection of the new school
house on the new site. This re
straining order will no doubt be
heard before a Superior Court
Judge at an early date.
It will be recalled that Elizabeth
and Roberts School district were
recently combined and a special
tax voted. Two sites were sug
gested for the proposed new
schoolbuilding—the present site
adjacent the county home and a
site adjoining the Elizabeth church
property overlooking highway No.
20. To decide which site was the
choice of the majority of the pat
rons in the two districts r straw
ballot was taken Feh. 12th, and
both sides claimed to have won Two
returns of the votes were made
to the county hoard of education.
On Monday the county board de
cided that the Elizabeth site had
won, but the leaders favoring the
did site are having a restraining
order issued to forbid the erection
of the building on the site choosen.

Western Carolina Looking
For Tourist Activity As
Spring Season Approaches
The iso-thermal belt and resort t
sections of Western Carolina offer
an air of come-back as the March
winds nhd warming rays of the
sun herald the approach of
spring.
That region Westward from Shel
by embracing scenery and climat-.
unexcelled in a few sections Amer
ica over, expects a steady flow of
tourist and vacationist travel this
summer, according to reports reach
ing Shelby.
Last spring boomish atmosphere
i left a damper on Western Carolina,!
i hut where there is climate and scen
ery even the failin’, of a boom that
; would have a section progress too
' fast cannot retard steady popular
ity.
In the spring of 1025 the beauty ,
and climate of the Carolina foot- |
hills and mountains began to carry
their lure to the outside world. It
was then that the western section of
the state first began to attain nat
ional prominence as a spring an 1 ,
summer playground. But about that
time a boom moved in from another
j state and a vacationing world was
averted.
From the effects of this boom
Western North Carolina is staging
i comeback.
Resort hotels and centers here
uni there along the Wilniington
Asheville highway are preparing
for an even bigger influx of spring
and summer visitors than ever be
fore. “The boom is over” one re
sort promoter states, "and good
Lhat it is. The vacationists will be
back this summer and this section
will grow steadily into the playland
that it tried to become in one sea
son."
Recognition Coming.
Here and there news dispatches
tell of the recognition of the sec
tion as a vacation spot. The South
ern railway has long boosted the
advantages of Western Carolina,
reports considered authentic have
it that the Seaboard, which pene
trates the foothills as far as Ruth

|Tom Gold, Native Of This County
Is Candidate For Speaker Of House
I Another of Cleveland county’s na
j tive-born. is out to attain state
wide prominence in the world of
) politics and statesmanship,
j Tom Gold, born and reared in '
this county a son of Mr. W. F.
{ (Minn) Gold and the late Mrs.
Gold of the Double Shoals section,
1 is a candidate for speaker of the
1929 house of representatives, it is
I learned from Raleigh.
Mr. Gold, now the representative
I from Guilford county, is one coun
vty son whose career has been
watched with interest at home. In
| addition to being one of the state’.;
,-most popular lawmakers Gold banks
on two other important assets in
I his race for the speakership: First
he fought for the women when
j they sought the voting privilege,
j and second, he was a strong sup
[ porter of the Gardner banner—the
! latter, however, is a requisite of
I practically every candidate for the
j speakership.
j Tom Boat, the gifted political
(writer in Raleigh, has the follow -
I ing to say of Gold’s candidacy and
j qualifications:
“Mr. Gold was a member of the
i 1919 regular and the 1920 special
(session. He led in the work of re
I valuation, a new appraising which
! furnished the ground work for all
modern progress. When with Bick- j
ett he and his associates made the
tax books “speak the truth,” the |
state’s wealth hopped up two bil
lions and North Carolina became
acutely conscious that it was no
longer a pauper. Good roads came
synchronously with that knowledge
and better, greater roads, when the
knowledge soaked in. In the 1919
house Mr. Gold, of the imperial
fifth, fought strongly for woman
suffrage’and did his best to make
the state live up to its pledge of
1920 when it came back to ratify
the suffrage national amendment
The Democracy in its conclave of
1920 declared for the amendment.
It repudiated in the campaign, then
had to ask the women to forgive
the unspeakable piece of party
boorishness. The bourbons, think
ing suffrage was on them, wel
comed the women. Thinking it wras
off them, they spurned the feminine
voters. Getting suffrage in spite of
themselves they again soft soaped
the sisters. ♦
“Mr. Gold had none of this delect
able dish of crow to eat. He did his
best for the women each time. He
dropped out then and has remain
ed a statesman without a place.
This year he came back. He got in
terested in the remedial measures,
in the enterprises which had no
great heft from the higher ups. But
his interests are the same. When
he comes back two years hence he
will find a very different state.
“He isn’t talking much about his
race yet. He doubts whether he will
be much of a buttonholer or not.
But he is a capital chairman of any
meeting, a superbly equipped floor
debater and a liberalist with inter
ests always in the human side of
government. He was a grand sup
porter of Max Gardner in 1920 and
so w-ere his antagonists. Mr. Gard
ner stands to have a fine side-kick,
no matter who.”
Men Should Tend Babies And Cook
Chief Home Agents Tells Collegians
Raleigh.—Men should be taught
cooking and baby tending!
That’s Mrs. Jane S. MeKimmon's
idea. Mrs. McKimmon is chief of
the North Carolina home demon
stration agents, and she made her
startling suggestion to the agricul
ture club at State College.
All college men should be given
courses in home economics and
child psychology as part of their
regular college course, Mrs. Mc
Kimmon contended.
“Lack of training for family life
is responsible for a great many of
the divorces granted each year,”
Mrs. McKimmon said, and contin
ued to show that boys and girls
need trainnig to fit them as family
men, and that predicted that such
courses will be given in colleges of
the future.
Mrs. MeKimmon's talk was
heard by a large audience. Her sub
ject was ‘Man’s Place in the Home.*
“It is not our purpose to make
men do all the house-work, such
as cooking and sewing,” she said,
“but a course in home economics
would give them an insight into the
problems which the women have to
face every day.”
Mrs. McKimmon advised the
boys, in looking for a wife, to look
first for romantic love and beauty,
and then size up the prospective
bride on the basis of “good health,
knowledge of home life, common
sense and sense of humor.
The speaker was emphatic that
men should Kelp in rearing the
children.
“Every boy in college should be
given in a course in child psychol
ogy so that he will understand
something of the nature of child
ren,” she said.
Ford Coin Would
Make Long Train
L. E. Ligon, well known in
Shelby, has made the following
cumputation by way of demon
strating in physical terms the ab
stract accumulation of the Henry
Ford wealth:
Henry Ford is said to be
worth two billion dollars. This
vast sum in silver dollars. 16
silver dollars to the pounds,
would make 125000000 pounds
at 50000 pounds to the car it
would make 2500 car loads, at
50 cars to the train it would
take 50 locomotives to handle
it. The 2500 cars and 50 en
gines all coupled together
would make a train 20 miles
long.
Mayor Edward L. Bader of At
lantic City died after an operation
for appendicitis at which it was
found that his appendix was on

For Not Receiving
Message Of Death ‘
Buchanan Wants $5,000 Damages
Over Not Getting News of
Sister’s Death Early.
Because a death message was not
immediately delivered and thereby -;s
prevented, it is understood, by fi.
L. Buchanan against the Western |
Union Telegraph for $5,000 dam
ages owing to mental anguish.
Buchanan, said to be an employe' f|
of the Eastside textile plant, files
the complaint through his attorney,
Horace Kennedy.
The complaint, it is said, alleges i
that on February 17, a sister of 4
Buchanan died at Marion, this 1
state, and a telegram telling of her
death was sent to the brother here. |
On February 18, the complaint al
leges, flie plaintiff received a card
stating That the message was being
held for him at me local office, 4
messenger boys not being able to 'A
locate him.
The card, it is alleged, was re
ceived by the plaintiff just after he
received a telephone message about
the death and while he#was pre- ]
paring to journey to Marion. As it
was, the complaint continues, the
brother arrived after the funeral
was over and about the time the
remains were being interred. I
The paintiff’s attorney, it is ur j
derstood, will attempt to show that
messengers could have locate.
Buchanan and did learn where hi
lived. A defendant attorney coult
not be located when this was writ
ten, but it is presumed that the de ’
fendant will allege, as the notifying
card was mailed, that the messag
could not "be delivered as Buchana
could not be located.
