Caroline Blanton A Converse Leader Shelby Girls Receive Outstanding Honors at College. Miss Roberts Also Named. Shelby High graduates are tak ing leading roles in the collegiate world.

Roberts, and also a Shelby High graduate, was elected presi dent of one of the dormitories. Miss Roberts is in her third year. - This is the time of the year that we doubt the advent of spring. Our idea of a foolish question: “What is my bank balance today ?'■ Publicity Ends Cock Fights In This State; Fans Hurt And Promoters Disappointed (Henry Lesesne, INS Staff Cor respondent Raleigh.—Devotees of the Col onial sport of cock-fighting in North Carolina-—and they are said to be numerous—are wonder ing just where promoters will turn to stage their next "cham pionship.” Certainly not in Bladen county, where it lias been revealed, the ostensibly forgotten pastime has flourished for some years. The spotlight of publicity has killed all chances there, it is admitted. Cock-fighting enthusists admit that fights have been held periodi cally in North Carolina for years. They were not, however, adver tised on handbills, and therefore were not subject to any great in terference. But it seems that some promot er down Bladen county wav had big ideas and was' going io nut them over in big style. A 8,000 arena and grandstand was erect ed. Handbills were distributed. Eneries came from as far north at Chicago, and as far south as Florida. Everything was set for the big contest. The handbills promisee “protection” and stated also that | cock-fights would become some i thing of a permanent institutior down there. Then the handbill: fell into the hands of some indig nant citizens and they were sent to the Bladen county delegation m the state legislature. A bill designed to prevent cock fighting and bull-baiting in Bladen county was introduced in the House of Representatives just a few days before the cock-fight was scheduled to come off. The bill gained wide publicity, and news of the impending cock-fight spread like wildfire. District Solicitor T. O. McNeil, »t Lumber-ton, was notified that , the fight was in progress. He sent Sheriff Lee S. Priest to the scene. The sheriff found the cocks there, and throngs gathered around the arena, but, as he reported, "every thing was at a standstill.” Just about that time a two-foot snow suddenly blanketed Illaden county, and thousands of devotees of the sport were snowbound. It was announced that the fight w^as ■“inrif fidijely postponed," hut some devotees, returning through the state capital, said the fights went off on schedule. Nevertheless, whether this he true or i> it, cock-fighting enthusi asts here—cock-fights were held here too until Solicitor Evans as ; sumed office four years ago—say that no more cock-fights will be held in Bladen county. Highs Win One Game, Lose One - Play 3 This Week Kings Mountain Wins, But Shelby Trims Charlotte. Three Big Contests Here During Week. i The local baseball season is un derway. In brief, the season has moved along just this far: Friday the Highs lost' their op portunity homofolks will have of seeing Casey Morris’ proteges in action and at the same time it will give Shelby fans the first oppor tunity of seeing Messrs. Hord, Skates, et al, in action. Then on Thursday another con test. will be on here when Cherry j ville sends over a heavy-hitting team after Shelby scalp. Friday this game will be follow ed by a return game here with Charlotte. Charlotte games always draw well in Shelby owing to an old rivalry—and Charlotte, if you notice, has a right nifty young ball club. Errors Do It. The first defeat handed out bv Kings Mountain came as the result of a loosely played first inning hy the locals. There was a period dur ing that frame that the thoughts of sending back home for the fire department came up. However, aft- j er that frame the locals braced up and very near won a contest— one run, y’know, is close enough to be called very near. In the mean time “Skeeter” Skates; pitcher of parts, received a right good bat tering from the willows of the local youth. The Highs played in both games minus signals or any of the artis tic system that may mark then play soon. Both games were a mat ter of “hit ’em if you can” and field ’em likewise. In hitting the | horsehide the locals appeared; highly pleasing, the fans following! them up opining that it’s a heavier hitting crew than won the first | state championship for Shelby. That may be so, but if it is they’re j a bunch of embryo Ceorge Her-1 mans. “Just give us time to brush up on our fielding and get a little j system and we”ll he hard to stop,” ! the Highs are saying—and the j coach adds one cryptic line: “They | do hit,’ In Charlotte the Highs fielded very well, at least improving over their first game and led by Gilles pie they continued to hit. In both games Coach Morris used his en tire staff of hurlers, rather divid ed them in the two games. It was a rather trying test for the hurling staff, but this year if Shelby can step out a group of pitchers able to come through another state title is no wild pipe dream. However, readers and fans may draw their own conclusions after looking over the three games here this week. The box array of the Charlotte tilt follows: Charlotte AB. R.

This is the first day of the glad season of 1927, the beginning of astronomical spring, so to speak; the period when the sun, on his an nual hike north “crosses the line.” It is a part of local history that the sun was behind time this sea son, spring having disputed. the calendar with winter for some weeks now, so much so that on ions, lettuce, and such, are flour ishing in the local garden. And local asparagus is adventuring above the local sod. The spring of the almanac and the calendar comes in the first of April—All Fools Day; but by that time this year the thermometer is apt to have climbed to a hundred degrees. Cotton Ginnings Send Price Upward All of the estimates and ex pectancy, of a cotton yield of eighteen or twenty million bales were punctured this morning when the final gin re port was issued by the Bureau of Census, department of ag riculture, Washington, D. C. The final gin report shows 17, 687,607 bales ginned from last year’s crop, a million or more bales less than conservative estimates placed the yield. This is compared with 16.600,000 bales made in 1925. As a result of this report, cotton made a sudden lunge forward of fifty points and local cotton authori ties predicted that the market would reach 15 cents by plant ing time and better by fall. HUNTING season FOR OUAIL LISTS LONGER BY BILL Three Months Open Season Here Now Instead of 40 Days. License Required. The open season for quail in Cleveland county will be longer this year than heretofore. The open season in this county former ly extended only 40 days front December 1 to January 10,—but by the new state frame law, which repeals all county game laws, the open season being December 1 and runs to March 1. The bag limit is 10 per day. Since the pasage of the new game law considerable interest in the change and new features lias been manifested in the county and The Star attempts with this arti cle to clear up the lack of infor mation concerning it. The main feature, it is believed of the changes, is that a license is ro ! quired of all hunters, except in | cases where the hunting is con fined to the lands of the hunter. The following survey <ft\Mie new game law conies from the editorial page of The Charlotte Observer— (Those who desire to do so may see I a copy of the new game luw in .The Star office: “A few days ago The Observer dipped into the new (fume law of the State only far enough to sin pie out the outlawed, which is to say, the feathered pests that are piven no protection. This develop ed a word of sympathy for the jay bird, which was countered the very next day with indictment of the jay as a murderer. The new covers the State and is n matter of importance to all the people. It has been the intentibn of this paper to follow up its initial para praph with analysis of the law for the guidance of hunters and for the benefit of the people as a whole. And while we were dally ing, along came anticipation of our purpose in the editorial col umns of The StatesyiUe Daily, and, while that pafter “beat us to it,” at the same time it saved us the trouble of compilation of the general features of the new law. First off—we are drawing from ! The Daily—the measure enacted by the Legislatures wipes out all county game laws that might con flict with the state statute. Under the new conditions there will be j no difference in the game law s (Continued On Page Four) J. OBIIed SATURDAY JIT FOUR Death Followed Stroke Of Paral ysis At Atlanta. Was Prom inently Known.

Stewart, who lives at the Gulf station on the Cleve land Springs road, is out to set a few hiking records. Noticing that various girls and women are out establish ing walking time between certain towns and cities Stewart has decided that man still holds the supremacy in walking—even if the girls have received some exper ience in walking back from auto rides. Last Friday Stewart did one of his training higes, travelling from Shelby to Kings Mountain on foot in two hours and 50 minutes. The distance is 13 miles, and after riding back the- hiker seemed as fresh as when he left. His next little jaunt will be from Shelby to Charlotte, and on that trip he hopes to estab lish a state record for cover ing 50 miles. CARQUNAlNOQME TAXES CLIMB TO 4 MILLION MARK Officials Arc of the Opinion That New Record For State Will Be Set This Year Raleigh.—Certainty that more I than one million dollars in income I tax money would be counted by | the state department of revenue I Wednesday, was indicated by an official estimate of $900,000 count* ed at noon.

FRANK LINDSEY PAROLED AFTER TWO YEARS TIE Gardner. Fulton and Others Ask Parole Granted by McLean. Connected With Death. Frank Lindsey, of Kings Moun tain, serving ;a seven-year term for manslaughter, was paroled las; week by Governor McLean. Lindsey it will be remembero i drove the car which struck a grain drifl, fatally injitring Ed gar Harmon several years ago. Tried in Superior court here Lindsey received a prison sen tence, and he has served two years of the time. A Tragic Story. The Lindsey-Harmon story is one of pathos and tragedy all the way through. About the onl ysunlight fate has let creep in during the past three years comes with the Lindsey parole. In a way the parole comes late, and in another way it is timely—for Lindsey now comes home to take care of seven moth erless children, but he never ar rived in time to be with the wife who awaited his return. Some time after Harmon was fatally injured his wife died—the second tragic happening in the story—and 11 children were left tc be buffeted about by the whims o' | the world. Then Mrs. Lindsey wife of the man serving time, wa taken fatally ill, and on March 10 she died, her husband receiving s 10-day parole at the time to come home and attend her funeral and make arrangements about taking care of the six or seven mother less children—and that was the third tragedy of the story. Eleven children already with out parents—seven more mother less with the father in prison, but then came the sunlight with the pardon last week of the father. All in all it is a tragic story that has bound and shaken the course of more lives than any other series of circumstances hap pening in the county in many years. Many Asked ft The dispatch from Raleigh tell ing of the Lindsey parole says: “B. Frank Lindsey, Cleveland county man, serving seven years for manslaughter, wa; the long est termed prisoner released to day. ( He gets his freedom after two years, through the recom mendations of Max Gardner, Rev. C. J. Black, Baptist minister; Senator JL T. Fulton and many others who have taken special In terest in the case. An automobile collision led to the death for which this prisoner was tried. His case had been before the gov jernor who first declined !to lict upon it.” \ Training School Here Wa* Better Than Other* Held Certificates Given to 139 People. Polkville Circuit Led Others.
