Mrs. Hester Byers
Buried Thursday
Widow of Former County Treasur
er and Daughter of Ex
Sheriff—Eight Survive
(Special to The Star)
On March 16, 1927 God in his
infinite wisdom saw fit to remove
from earth the gentle spirit of Mrs.
Hester M. Byers who was born
Dec. 29, 1859. being 67 years, 2
months and 27 days old. She was
the daughter of the late Mott and
Margaret Elizabeth Runyans. Her
father was a volunteer in the Con
federate army and lost his life in
the Battle of Gettysburg. Her
mother was later married to Dixon
Randoll and lived until March 16.
1912.
From early girlhood Mrs. Byers
has been an active and loyal mem
ber of the Methodist church. The
influence of her noble Christian
life was felt not only in her home
and her church but by her neigh
bors and friends and acquaintances,
hers was a life of activity always
deeming it a joy to minister to her
family and friends. Phe was ever
ready to lend a helping hand or
speak a cheering or encouraging
word when needed, and no home
was too humble for her to enter if
there was a service her willing
hands could find to do, and no
home so proud that her presence
was not welcome at all times. In
the midst of sickness or sorrow her
influence was one of peace and
comfort.
On August 9. 1874 she was mar
ried to James B. Byers, son of the
lamented Sheriff J. C. Byers. To
this union were born the following
eight children all of whom survive.
Messrs. Daivo P.. Shelby, David, of
Smyrna, S. C., Mrs. Maggie Elliott,
Shelby, Mrs. John Byers, Char
lotte; Mrs. Dottie Byers and Mrs.
Josie Hardin, Shelby; Messrs.
Hackett, dacksburg, S. C. and
Fred who with his family has been
living with and caring for his
mother the past two years.
In the lives of all these devoted
children can be seen the impress of
the kind and noble lives of the
father and mother. Forty grand
children and eight great grand
children also survive. Mr. Byers
was one time county treasurer and
preeeeded his wif to the grave by
28 years.
For a number of years Mrs.
Byers has suffered from rheuma
tism and heart trouble and on
March 6th she suffered a stroke of
paralysis from which she died.
Intorment was at Sulphur Springs
Methodist church Thursday at 3
o’clock with Rev. B. Wilson con
ducting the funeral services as
sisted by the pastor Rev. D. P.
Waters. The following grandsons
acted as pall bearers: Messrs.
David and James Byers, Knox
Hardin, James, Spencer, and John
Elliott.

About a* old as Confucius
the Chinese philosopher, is
the proverb that “forbid a
child to do anything and that
is the very thing the child
will do first.”
Grown-ups are just over
grown children, and children
are just children. The real
desire for anything comes
when it is forbidden.
Over at the Shelby school
yesterday and today an empty
old nail keg wa splaced on the
walk at the school entrance.
Hanging on the keg was a
sign “Don’t Look in Here”—
and naturally that sign arous
ed curiosity and every one
who trod the path, from fac
; ulty down to the children in
the primary grades, couldn’t
refuse the temptation and
I took a glance in the keg.
They saw something like
this: “The Converse College
Glee Club Will Appear in Con

That’s tonight, you know,
and a fine advertising scheme
it was.
Some Talk Of
Two Races In
Mayor’s Tilt
Heretofore Election Without Pri
mary Has Been Held. Power
With Committee
There is a possibility that
Shelby may have a double- I
header for the next mayor.
Some talk heard about
town is to the effect that a
primary and an election both
may be held in the city race
this Spring. T«'ie power to call
for a primary in April to be
followed by an elri-tion in
May lies with the executive
committee of the town.
Whether or net they will call
a primary has not been learn
ed by The Star.
Heretofore it has been the cus- j
tom to hold an election onlv, all ;
citizens being entitled to vote, and j
the high man winning. Despite j
the talk of a primary this time
there are others who say that the
custom will be followed.
Under the primary plan it
would be necesary, acording to O.
M. Mull, city attorney, for the ex
ecutive committee to call a pri
mary for April. Then at the regu
lar election time in May the two
high candidates, unless there were
other party entrants would run it
off, as The Star understands the
explanation of the city attorney.
However, it is made plain that the
primary cannot he called unless
this committee deems it advisable.
The question then is: Do they?
In the last mayoralty contest
there were three candidates, but
no primary was called and the
outcome was that the high man in
the race won.
The question of whether or not
there will be two races has been
talked considerable about the
town.
Buck Redfern Has
Hard Luck Getting
In Major Leagues
Hundreds of Shelby baseball
fans who watch with interest th?
career of George (Buck) Redfern.
former State college star and
Shelby player, will read, this dis
patch from Detroit with regret:
“George Redfern, shortstop ob
tained from Nashville and re
garded by Manager George Mor
iarty as one of the best infielders
turned out by the minors in years,
is the victim of unusually hard
luck, in that he joined the Tigers
at the wrong time. He is confront
ed with the Herculean task of
displacing Tavener, who Moriarty
believes will be the class of the
league.
“Moriarty, if forced to let the
former Southern League player go
will retain title, it was said. He
is considering assigning the short
stop to a good class A A team lor
further seasoning, possibly Toron
I to.”
Redfern it is believed here
could make the grade at short
with several major league teams
but has the tough luck of going
up to a team that has a star
short fielder. In addition to his
other touch luck George had an
attack of the flu after. leaving
Shelby for the southern training
camp, according to a letter receiv
ed from him by C. R. Hoey, jr., a

Trundled Wheelbarrow With
Trunk In It For 10 Miles
To Catch Train In Shelby
Farmhand In Debt To Employer For $17 Gets Away At
Niijht And liolls Bclon^in^s To
Catch Train Here
While the rest of the world
gets excited over coffee-drink
ing aind flapjack contests a
Cleveland county farmhand
that was should step forward
and claim world honors for
trundling a loaded wheelbar- |
row—or as the colored folks
say it, for “rolling a Georgia
buggy."
Sometime Wednesday night
Dolph Lenair, white farm laborer
loaded his trunk, three sacks, and
other articles on his employer's
wheelbarrow and rolled the outfit
all of the 10 miles to Shelby where
he caught the early morning train
for Blacksburg, taking the trunk
and belongings with him and leav
ing the wheelbarrow in a vacant
lot. Several hours after the train
roared out of the station the man’s
employer, Mr. W. D. Mauney, of'
route 5, came to the Southern sta
tion looking for him—and thus it
was that the unusual story came
out.
The farm hand had borrowed,
or in some manner secured $17, it
is said, from his employer, who
thought perhaps a getaway would
be made. However, Mauney said
that he worked Lenair hard Wed
nesday and did not expect him to
leave Wednesday night. Yet w'hen
the farmer woke Thursday morn
ing and looked in Lenair’s shanty,
Lenair had vanished. A little tour
of inspection revealed that the
hand’s trunk and belongings were
also gone as was Mauney’s wheel
barrow.
It was at that junction that
Mauney came to town and visited
the Southern station where he
learned from Agent Vernon Proctor
that a man answering Lenair’s de
scription had boarded the train
with a ticket' to Rlacksb.rg. K C.
but he assured Maimey that Lenair
had not taken the wHcelbCirov*
aboard although he did the ti unk
and sacks.
Some time later the farmer lo
cated his wheelbarrow in a vacant
lot, and, it is said that he will not
seek the vanished farm hand now
that he has the wheelbarrow back.
And the station agent seemed to
agree that a fellow who would roll
a wheelbarrow 10 miles at night
with a trunk and other things in
the “Georgia buggy” should not be
prosecuted.
Clears up Mystery.
Still there was a little mystery
about the getaway that finally Mr.
Mauney figured out. After learning
that his wheelbarrow and farm
hand both were missing he began
to look for the wheelbarrow tracks,
hoping to get a trace of the missing
man, but there were no wheeelbar
row tracks within several hundred
yards of the house, it is said. The
supposition is that Lenair carried
the wheelbarrow on his back a good
distance from the house, set 't
down in the road, returned and cai -
ried out the trunk, then his other
belongings, and loaded them up on
the wheelbarrow and shuffled
long with the load over a 10-mile
stretch to Shelby.
Estimating that a man rolling a
wheelbarrow' would make about four
miles per hour it must have taken
Lenair about two and one-half
hours to reach Shelby.
But he made his train.

BOY JAILED FOR
HIS ASSAULT 01
GIRL-NO BOND
Eugene Hoyes Held Without Bond
For Attempted Attack. Ad
mits Intention
Eugene Hayes, white youth of
about 17 years, is being held in the
county jail here without bond for
Superior court on the charge of an
attempted criminal attack of a six
year-old girls of No. 10 township.
Hayes, who court officers say
seems none too bright, admitted
the attempt at the preliminary
hearing before Recorder John 1*.
Mull Wednesday. Following the
hearing he was carried back to
jail, where * he will remain until i
court Monday week.
It will be remembered that last!
Monday the mother of the little i
girl left her home to go to the store i
and Hayes, a farm hand, was left]
with the little girl and her brother.
Going a short distance the mother
thought it not wise to leave the
children alone with the strange
youth. Returning she surprised (
Hayes in an attempted assault on
her small daughter, it is said. The!
youth fled when the mother re- j
turned without carrying out his in-;
tentions.
Officers were notified and a
search got underway. Tuesday De
puty Plato Ledford caught Hayes
beyond Casar, the boy apoarently
being en route to Asheville.

Highs Play Two
Games This Week,
Three Next Week
Meets Kings Mountain Today,
Charlotte Tomorrow. Three
Teams Next Week
Shelby baseball fans who can
hardly await action with the rec
ent soring fever weather have
several big days ahead.
In fact, the local baseball sea
son breaks out its winter quarters
today, but the breaking out will
be in the Kings Mountain vicinity,
where at 4 o’clock this afternoon
the Shelby Highs contest with the
speedy Kings Mountain team. The
old dope pot has it that Kings
Mountain will win, but that same
pot has been overturned so much
that nothing is a certainty in
baseball anymore. Tomorrow aft
ernoon, Saturday, the Highs take
a little longer trip and go to
Charlotte for a game with the
Queen City lads. Quite a number
of local fans are expected to ac
company the team to both con
tests.
Playing Here
Then next week Shelby fans ran
rrowrl the hometown baselines
when the Highs come home for
three games. The first local con
test. will be on Tuesday afternoon
when the Kings Mountain team
comes here for a game. The old
park is expected to see one of the
biggest crowds since the football
season as the town turns out to
see if there is any likelihood of
Casey Morris winning a third
championship for the town.
Then on Thursday afiernoon
Cherryville comes here for a
game. On the next afternoon, Fri
day, Charlotte plays a return
game here. That’s three games in
one week, two on consecutive days.
A real opening treat for the
baseball fans.
iHowever, numerous games is
the method Coach Morris has of
training baseball into his boys.
That method won Shelby two
state titles. Of course there is a
lot a coach can tell the youngster,
but after they get the rudiments >
the fine points must be picked up '
by experience in actual play. The
Highs .may not look like world
beaters in their first game, but
let them play 15 or 20 games be
fore the state series and if there’s
any basebal in them it will begin
to crop out when victories mean
titles. And unknown to the major
portion of the town the Highs
have been practising several days
for today’s opening game.
Mr. Joe Nash, of Hickory, spent
Thursday here on business at the
Fanning store.

A Shelby of other days that knew

special column in The Observer.
Funeral services were held Thurs
day at the First Presbyterian
church in Charlotte.
“Miss Addie” received part of
her education at Cleveland Springs

Outline Plans
For Club House
At the Kiwanis club meeting
Thursday night at Cleveland
Springs, J. D. Lineberger, outlined
a plan for the erection of a $26.

Springs. According to the plan out
lined local people interested in re
creation and sports and what ar.
up-to-date club house and golf
course would mean to Shelby,
would take stock which would be
retired by a per cent of the green
fees and club dues collected year
after year. The plan was endorsed
by O. M. Gardner, Chas. L. Esk
ridge, O. M. Mull and C. C. Blan
ton and will no doubt be presented
shortly to the citizens of Shelby in
the hope of securing a subscription
of $12,600 in stock.

months. At least prospects for
a new station here are encour
aging
A new Southern station has been
in the air for sometime, various of
ficials of the road having visited
Shelby at intervals considering the
proposition. Of lecent months J.
Newton, secretary of the chamber
of commerce, has been working on
the matter and it is now believed
that with a little more work the
new station will be secured.
The present station has been
here for years and is one of the
oldest landmarks of the town to
survive the march of progress.
Development Suit
Here On Saturday
It is learned that Judge J. L.
Webb in a chamber hearing here
Saturday morning will hear a con
test concerning the Tryo nDevelop
ment company, of Tryon, one of
the big realty developers o fWest
ern Carolina last summer. i
The hearing it is learned 13
brought about-by the action of the
Berry Fortune Construction com
pany which seeks to restrain the
First National Trust compnay, of
Durham, from liquidating the as
sets of the development company
now. The development company, it
is said, is in the hands of receivers
and the trust company plans a move
to liquidate assets, said to run
around several hundred thousand,
to apply to straightening out dt '
velopment obligations, it is alleged
0. M. Mull and likely other local
attorneys may appear in the case.

building in the same room with;
Dr. D. Si. Morrison, optometrist.*
Only three prices of shoes will be1
bandied, these selling for $1, $2,

store which is one or a chain of.
stores with headquarters in Penn
sylvania.
Stamcy company, the ‘big store"
at Fallston is now bigger than ever
and the owners and customers are
swelling with just pride on the for
mal opening of the new store build
ing this week. From 4 to 10 p. m.
■Tuesday, 1,200 friends milled
through the store and inspected
this mammoth and modern depart
ment store, certainly one of the
largest rural mercantile establish
‘ ments in Western North Carolina.
The reception Tuesday was very m
; formal. The Stanleys are not the
kind to put on the “dog". They ex
tended a welcome hand and a
t flrtendly greeting tft the customers
who had made their phenominnl
i growth possible. An orchestra head
1 ed by Mr. Willis thumped away on
!.stringed instruments as the thou
sand or more came in to visit and
inspect the new building, just com
pleted and occupied by a great ar
ray of varied merchandise. Souve
nirs were given away, the ladies
receiving powder puffs, the men
safety razors and the children
candy and whistles. Over 600
names were registered on the guest
book and as many passed by with
out registering, so large was the
crowd.
Store Conveniences.
The beautiful brick store room is
10x100 feet, two stories high with
a large mezzanine floor with office
in the center in full view of the
floors. Plate glass show windows
remind one of a city mercantile es
tablishment. The floor space to
tals 19,000 square feet and is di
vided so every department is sep
arate and apart. On main floor are
to be found dry goods, notions,
piece goods, men’s wear, shoes,
toilet articles, groceries and hard
ware. On the mezzanine, ladies
ready-to-wear and millinery, stoves
ranges, cooking utensils, glassware
chinaware, etc. Furniture and under
taking departments fill the sec
ond floor.
Although ten miles from a rail
road and municipal advantages, the
store has electric lights, electric
elevator, hot and cold running wa
ter, ladies and gents toilets, a
steam heating plant and every
convenience that a city store en
Smoke Ban Lifted.
With better fire protection, the
ban on smoking in the store was
lifted this week. Usually a mer
chant is so anxious for trade he
will not deny his customers the
privilege of smoking in the store
if he is incIThed to do so, but
Stameys posted signs in the old
store building vears ago “no smok
ing allowed.” It mattered not if a
customer wanted to buy a big bill
of merchandise, heretofore he was
forced to abandon his “smoke”
while in the store. The adoption of
this rule was brought about years
ago following a disastrous fire
when the company had a fire loss
of $15,000 in 1911 with no insur
ance. In 1925 the big warehouse was
again destroyed, entail^'g a loss of
$30,000 with only $4,000 insurance.
Such heavy fire losses were calcu
lated to make the Stamey company
dubious about smoking in the store
so for this reason the ban on smok
ing was initiated. Now that the new
building is occupied a watchman
is employed for all-night vigil and
the building is supplied with water
the ban has been lifted and on Tues
day night when the opening recep
tion was held the old familiar sign

New District Attorney And Clerk
To Officiate At Term. Rum
C'ases Up.
The spring term of the United j
States District court Trill convene J
here Monday morning, March 21.
with Federal Judge E. Yatoa
Wehb presiding.
The newly appointed officers of
the western district of the court
will officially start their service 1
here that day, it is understood. T. ,2
I. Hawkins, former assistant dis
trict attorney, hut recently ap- i
pointed district attorney by
Judge Webb will head the proseeu- 5eB
tion instead of District Attorney s|
P’rank Liney, who is now in the ®
middle district and a seeker for
the judgeship there. J. Y. Jordan,
former Federal marshal and de- : |
puty clerk, will officiate at his
first term as clerk. Both new of-,
ficials are from Asheville and*
were appointed by Judge Webb.
Hafikins’ appointment is only
temporary, but he is a likely can
didate, it is said, for the per
manent district attornevship.
Mountain Dew Cases
The main portion of the court
grind is expected ns usual to put .a
a temporary barrier in the chan
nels down which flows from the
mountains of Cleveland, Ruther
ford and Burke into the cities and j
towns of Piedmont North and $j
South Carolina.
Since the installation of the
United States court here the ma
jority of the cases have been de
voted to drying up the “mountain
dew” that falls during the meht
in the mountain sections and flits
out a night or so later by automo
bile to the populated sections
where bootleg is still somewhat in
demand.
Where It Comes From
Newspaper writers recently
dubbed highway 10 as the “Rig
Funnel” in the North Carolina
>?°ze, trade*.if *h§t be
i Cleveland county, tvith very little
paved roads, must include several
important little funnels that turn
traffic into the big funnel. High
way 18 stretching down from
Morganton through the mountain
sections of Burke and Cleveland
isn’t any little outlet in the outgo
of mountain “cawn” if the inci
dents recited in the Federal court
rooms are true. And it’s about
this season of the year that little
wisps of smoke begin to curl up
from points here and there in the
valleys and coves. That means ac
tivity later on the highways—and
perhaps activity a little later ip
one of the big institutions at At
lanta.
Judge Webb in his former ap
pearances in Federal court hero
has spoken of his regret that li
quor is made in about the most
beautiful mountain section in
Eastern America— and after
speaking his regret he usually
does his bit well in eradicating the
industry.

in charge. Mr. McKnight says most
of the creditors are local whole
