Citizens of Shelby arc discussirg
the desirability of a clean-up cam
paign for Shelby, to rid the city
this summer of the omniscient vis- j
itor, the mosquito. The pest is with
us in increasing number each sum- 1
mer of late, coming earlier and
staying later, and the thought is to
make Shelby safe for evening out,
ings, without the necessity of wear
ing armor plate or ear muffs.
William Lineberger is amongst
those who is taking an active in
terest in the campaign. Mr. Line
berger declares it would be com
paratively easy to clean Shelby up
to eliminate these hot weather
pests, whereas their presence here
makes life in the summer practi
cally unendurable in some parts of
outdoors after twilight.
it is understood on good author
ity that the congregations at the
Methodist church were much an
noyed at the recent revival, by the
presence of mosquitoes within the
church, and this during compara
tively cool weather in April.
The Star heartily endorses the
idea of ridding the city of
the mosquitoes. Modern san
itation has demonstrated that it is
both feasible and inexpensive to
wage a successful campaign against j
these pests. It means mainly n
rlean-up of the back lots where tin
cans and old discarded automo
biles are allowed to hold stagnanr
water.
The United States government,
a few years ago, gave a demon
stration at Virginia Beach, Virginia
as to what can be done to rid a
community of misquitoes. The
Beach, like most ocean resorts was
a veritable breeding ground for
mosquitoes, owing to the stagnant
water in the surrounding marshes.
The government used oil in cases
where drainage was not feasible,
end in thirty days, residents in the
place once more could enjoy the
delights of their front porches aft
er dark.
Men’s ChiK To Go
To Forest City
It is expected that 250 members
of the Men's Bible Class of the
F:rst Bantisc church here will
journey Sunday morning to For
est City to have a joint meeting
with the Men’s Bible class of the
First Baptist church of that city.
Max Gardner, teacher of the local
class will teach both classes Sun
day. President H. F. Young asks
that all members be present at
the church here Sunday’ morning
at 9 o’clock with their cars. Those
who do not have cars will have a
seat provided for them. Each class
will vie with each other to have
the largest number. Forest City
has an advantage in the location,
hut local members are determined
to have 250 from the Shelby church
if possible. The motorcade will
start, from the Shelby church and
reach Forest City over the new
hard surface road in ample time
for the Sunday School.
Thcmasson Out Of
Board Race Sure
Last Friday it was announced
that J. Lon Thomasson, one of the
candidates for alderman from
Ward 2, had retired from the elec
tion race. However, his announce
ment card was inadvertently carried
for one or two more issues and sev
eral friends gained the idea that
he was still running, whereupon Mr
Thomasson states today that he
wishes it made plain that he is
positively out of municipal board
lace.
HIGHS WIN GAME
FROM KB MI.
Whinnant's Hurling Keeps High
In State Race. Ledford Loses i
A Hard Game.
The steady hurling of “Dutch” j
Whisnant together with his invin- !
cible work in the pinches kept
Shelby in the state race here yes
terday when the Highs defeated
Kings Mountain 5 to 2 in an erra
tic games once the superb pitching
is overlooked.
The saving feature of the game j
was that it was the best pitched J
high school game here in many j
years. “Doc” Ledford, sensational '
southpaw for the visitors, hurled
a no-hit game until the fatal sixth
frame and during the entire nine
allowed only four safe blows, one ;
of which by fast fielding might
not have been a hit. The youngster
lost one of the toughest games j
ever plaved here. On the other
hand Whisnant p:trhed winning
ball but bad very little winmng
support. The Shelhy hook art:st
had ’em breaking the best ever
and turned back seven Kings
Mountain sluggers by striWo-o-ts.
Hord. the fast shortsop, fanning
the air twice and going out on
easy rollers twice. After his sup
port had weakened and Kings
Mountain players were on hn=e tv>e
Shelby hurler pitched superb ball,
striking them out as they came
up, and to that hurling alone
Shelby owes the victory of Tues
day.
r rom the standpoint of r>ase- <
ball the game was freakish out- j
side of the hurling. Errors by both i
teams came at the worst neriods. j
and they were not confined to j
fielding alone. Shelby lost a run i
or so by the poorest base running: I
of the season.
Kings Mountain started off with [
a score on two errors and a bone- j
head play in the first frame. With :
Ledford hurlinp fine ball the j
game seemed in the refrigerator
until the sixth when Ledford !
walked Gille^nio “one too many
times’’ and “Milky” Gold drove out
a sizzling triple to score two men.
Three more chased over on an er
ror and a line drive by Lee and »
trick play. Kings Mountain took
advantage of two hits and an error
to score one more in the ninth,
but Whisnant placed a check on the
scoring by striking one man out
and forcing the other to fly out to
Kerr.
Tails, right fielder, and Wright,
left gardener, led the hitting for
Christenbury’s boys with two each,
and Falls' along with Lee contri
buted the steadiest fielding. al
though a long running catch by
Harris in deep center brought the
stands up howling.
Other than a hit each by Lee and
Cline Shelby’s big. slugging row
j was helpless before Ledford’s
| forkside slants. However, Gilles
i pie did not have the opportunity of
driving out his usual homer, Led
ford walking him on three occa
sions. Hord, visiting shortstop and
one of the best amateur baseball
performers in these parts, had an
off day with his throwing arm and
contributed to the weakening sup
port that kept Ledford from win
ning.
Coach Morris scored one run by
strategy in the sixth when he had
Lee take a lead off first, Kerr
scoring while the fielders ran Lee
down for the third out.
By the victory Shelby meets the
Rutherford champions for honors
in this group* much to the pleas
ure of several hundred fans who
writhed through Tuesday’s game.

City Election Heat Raises
With Candidates Talking
Announcements From City Hall and
From Would-be City Hall Oc
cupants Arouse Interest.
Shelby elections may be as
sluggish ns a tat man in a
Turkish bath several weeks
prior to the ballot brittle, but
when the day nears the activity
is more like the same portly
fellow amid an enraged conven
tion of honey bees.
Several developments of in
terest in the coming election
came out today and yesterday.
In brief the big deveolpments
r.ye these:
1. —W. N. Dorsey says in an
advertisement that there will
be several changes about the
city hall if he is elected may
or.
2. —T. W. Hrmrick talks of
love feasts, city problems, and
adds that city hall changes in
his view will be up to the board
of aldermen.
3. —Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Sut
tle, for several years city clerk
and trer -iurer and tax collec
tor, announce that they will not
be candidates to succeed them
selves.
4. —A Hatcher Webb issues
another of his circulars mak
ing plain his stand on various
matters. “South Shelby", he
s “will receive the same
consideration from me as North
Shelby.”
5. —All other candidates are
active on the “q. t.” and indi
cations are that there may be
upsets and upheavails Monday
with a big vote cast.
The majority of the new an
nouncements are made through the
advertising columns of The Star
today and readers will likely perure
all the political advertising with
interest. Several of the candidates,
among whom are several “winners'
according to their friends, have not
appeared in print, but may do so
by Friday. Meantime they arc

New Advertising Tax LawI
Has ] eeth, Survey Reveals
The more the new state law is
studied the more teeth it seems to
have. Heretofore the penalty of
having property advertised for un
paid taxes has been taken lightly,
but a perusal of the hew tax law
shows that there are few, if any,
“maybes” about the advertising.
Considerable criticism is heard
of the enforced advertising from
some because of the short notice
given taxpayers, feeling that the
time is so short that it will work
hardships. By the new law the
matter of advertising unpaid taxes
is not left optional with the sher
iff, commissioners, or tax collec
tors. The law says they must be
advertised and a penalty is set for
failure to carry out the law. Re
ports emanating from Raleigh say
that those sponsoring the new tax
law really intended for it to go in
effect next year, nevertheless it
has been ratified and is on the
books.
Only .three days are left before
May 1 in which to pay taxes and
citizens may read the following
sections from the new tax law and
draw conclusions as to the penalty
for tardy payment. The portion of
the law given below is section
Four, Five and the first paragraph
of Six:
Section 4. Each sheriff or tax
collecting officer shall deposit the
taxes collected as provided by law,
but at the monthly meetings of the
county commissioners or other
governing body of the county,
shall present to such body a full
and completely itemized statement
of all taxes collected since the last
meeting of such body. He shall, on
the first Monday in May, report
in full the uncollected taxes for
the current tax year, and the coun
ty commissioners shall thereupon
order sale of all land for taxes
where the taxes have not been
paid to be made on the first Mon
day in June, and shall also make
1 up a list of taxes due of taxpay
ers who list no land for taxes.
[The sheriff or other tax collecting
officer shall thereupon cause ad
vertisement to he made for four
successive weeks, m now provided
by law for such advertisements, of
lands to he sold for taxes, and
shall make effort to collect all
taxes due by taxpayers who list no
land for taxes. Sale of land for
taxes shall he made upon the da’’
ordered by the board: Provided,
that the sale may he continued
from day to dav until completed.
Section 5. Upon the third Mon
day in June, the sheriff or other
tax collecting officer shall report
to the countv commissioners or
other governing body his action
with respect to tax sales and col
lections of taxes of taxpayers who
list no land for taxes under oath,
and shall, with resnect to those
taxpayers who list no land for
taxes, make oath that he has made
diligent effort to collect such
taxes out of the personal property
of the taxpayers. or bv nfher
means open to him for the collec
tion of such taxes, and shall re
i port such other facts with resnect
• to such taxpayers as may he of in
: formation to the countv commis
sioners or other governing body,
j The county commissioners or other
! governing body shall thereupon
enter upon its minutes the list of
such of these taxpayers who list
no land for taxes who shall be
found by such body to be insol
vents, and shall by resolution find
and determine such list of tax
payers as the insolvent list to he
i deducted in the settlement with the
j sheriff or other tax collecting offi
' cer in his settlement.
Section 6. On the first Monday
| of Julv the sheriff or other tax
[collecting officer shall make a full
and complete settlement with the
county for all taxes due the coun
I ty or its special subdivisions.
Military Powers Named Commissioners For
County Here Following Civil War Conflict
When a county commissioner is
elected here now he goes into of
fice without any additional formal
ity, but in the reconstruction period
following the Civil war the county
commissioners elated by the home
folks had to be passed upon by the
supervising powers of the Federal
government.
Sheriff Hugh Logan, whose fath
er was a prominent county official
here years ago, recently unearthed
a certificate of election revealing
how the so-called “rebel states”
were handled.
This certificate, made in April,
1868, endorsed the election of J. R.
Logan as county commissioner for
Cleveland, and in heavy type this
additional line: “to provide for the
more efficient government of the
rebel states.”
The certificate was issued from
the Second Military district, com
posed of North and South Caro
lina, with headquarters at Charles
ton, S. C., and was signed by a
major of the federal army.

A complete audit of county af.

ginning’ of the new business year
in the county on July 1, according
j to A. E. Cline, chairman of tlje
i Cleveland county commissioners
and temporary county accountant
as required by the new state-wide
law.
Mr. Cline back from meeting of
i county heads at Raleigh tells of
the meeting and gives some inter
j esting information about the cour
t ty accountant’s work and also the
audit to be made. The following
statement prepared by Mr. Cline
concludes with the audit explan
ation:
“Responding to the call of Hon.
i .J. E. Woodland, of Morehead City,
president of the state association of
tounty commissioners, a large and
interesting gathering of represen
tatives front 85 of the 100 counties
; of the state were in session with
i the county government advisory
! commission in the hall of the hou.-.e
: of representatives at the state cap:
: tol, Raleigh, last week.
“The hall was filled to its capae
■ ity with county commissioners and
i newly appointed county account
ants eager to learn and to gather
i information relative to the newly
I enacted statutes for the improve
| ment of county finances and to
i county government.
“The conference was presided
over by Mr. Woodland and the dif
ferent discussions were led by such
1 men of prominence as Dr. E. C.
1 Brooks, chairman of the county ad
I visOry commission; Mr. A. T. Allen,
; state supt. of schools; Hon. R. A.
Doughton, commissioner of rev
enue; Frank A. Edmundson, of the
state department of education, and
others.
“Matters coming up tor discus
sion were such as preparing the
school and county budgets. The re
vision of property values for taxa
tion. Making tax levies so that they
will be in keeping with both the old
as well as the new laws and also
take care of the prepared budgets,
and still not be excessively high
from the viewpoint of the tax pay
I er.
"Another very important matter
and one which from the writer’s
point of view is causing very great
concern in many minds is that of
j county accountant. This is a new of
fice created by the last legislature
for every county in the state. The
duties of this office are many and
varied. He must keep very close
tab on all receipts and disburse
ments of all county funds in each
and every department.
‘We would assure all tax pay
ers that before starting on the
new year which begins July 1st. it
is our purpose to have an audit of
all accounts of county officials for
the past year ending June 30th,
1927. and make special effort to be
gin the new year’s county business
| in accordance with the newly en
acted laws pertaining to county
government, as we understand
them.’’

ship to List Taxes in Itevai- j
nation Year.
The tax appraisers, or listers, for
Cleveland county to appraise taxes
this year, which is revaluation yeai
were given out today by W. H
Newton, who heads the newly form
ed county tax board.
For the most part three listers
are named for each township. The
one exception is in No. 5 where only
two are named. In No. <5 three men
are named for city property, and
three for rural property.
List Separately.
ine tax chairman states that n
is highly important for all property
owners to note that all tracts will
be listed separately. No property
owner will be permitted to list h.s
property in a lump— that is, if it
consists of several tracts, or lots,
Owners will be required to give ex
act acreage of each tract together
with location. All tracts lying sep
arately, a notice by the board in
today’s Star reads. All town lots
must be listed separately with ex
act size and location. It is made
plain that returns will not be ac
cepted unless these requirements
are met, property owners being
warned in advance to make proper
lists so as to save time in confer
ring with assessors.
A crop report is also required of
farmers, showing number of acres
and various crops raised so that
listers may follow state and federal
listing laws.
The list of township appraised
follows:

WITH DEANE BOY
Escaped Convict Became Tired of
Dodging and Gave up at
Jamestown, N. Y.
Policeman McBride Poston ar
rived in Shelby Tuesday night from
Mayville, N. Y., bringing with him
Dillard, or Ralph Deane, esaeped
Cleveland county, convict. Deane, it
will be remembered, was the con
vict who was freed last fall a year
ago when the No. 6 gang camp
night guard was held up. At the
time he had served about two
months of a two year sentence. Lee
Cody and Deane’s brother, Craw
ford, were sentenced more than a
year ago for complicity in the get
away.
Deane was serving time for an al
leged attack on a Gastoni.i girl
while motoring in this county. He
is now' in the county jail and it is
presumed that he will take over
his old duties on the chaingang.
Officer Poston says Deane gave
himself up to officers at James
town, N. Y., last week, stating that
he was tired of dodging continuous
ly and was ready to come back. The
officer also reported coming
through a heavy snow at Kane, sev
eral miles below Mayville and
Jamestown.
Highs Play Forest

The Shelby Highs and the
Forest City llighs will meet
Friday afternoon at Spindale
for the group championship
in the state high school base
ball race, it is announced from
the local school.
Shelby won this privilege
by defeating Kings Mountain
yesterday for their 12th
straight victory of the year,
and Forest City defeated Hen
rietta for the Rutherford hon
ors. A large crowd of local fans
is expected to accompany the

Most Disastrous Flood. Appeal Made For
More And Larger Contributions.
Pays For Guano
With His Chicks
Just what the addition of a
poultry sideline lo Cleveland
county farmers has meant is
hard to estimate. That it’s
proven a lifesaver to many
is the concensus of reports
heard.
Paying for the season's
fertilizer after the farm’s
main cash crop did not sell
so well has been the big pro
blem with Cleveland county
farmers this year, but the
income from chickens has
filled the breach mighty
well.
Prom the New House sec
tion comes the information
that Ft. H. Grigg, well known
farmer of the section, com
pletely paid for his planting
• fertilizer this year with the
income from a flock of be
tween 75 and 80 Rhode Is
land Reds.
J. Y. Irvin May Join Shelby High
School Faculty, Current
Report Here Haa It
According to an announcement
from Kings Mountain Professor
1 Claude Grigg, now heading the
schools at Gibson, Scotland county,
has been elected superintendent of
the city schools there.
Mr. Grigg is a son of Dr. and
Mrs. W. T. Grigg, of Lawndale, ami
a brother of Prof. Horace Grigg,
county superintendent of educa
tion and former principal of the
Shelby high school. He has been en
gaged in school work for several
years and is held in high regard at
Gibson where he is now principal Ho
was seletced from a group of about
20 applicants, it is said.
The new superintendent succeeds
Prof. J. Y. Irvin, former county
superintendent and Shelby school
official. Although the definite list
of new teachers has not been given
out here it is understood that Pro
fessor Irvin, a very efficient in
structor and school official, will
likely return to Shelby and head
the mathematics department in the
high school.
Superintendent Griffin and the
school board hope to be able to
give out the entire list of teachers
here in a few days.
High Track Team
In State Contest
Shelby will enter a track team
in the state contests at Greensboro
Saturday. Local cinder path artists
have been practising on the new
athletic field for several good dash
artists, pole vaulters and hurdlers.
This event marks Shelby’s first
regular entrance into track circles.
The team is made up of eight
boys, who have been trained by
Prof. W. S. Buchanan.
Misses Sue Andrews and Belle
Henry, of Charlotte, spent the
week-end here with Miss An
drews’ parents, Mr. and Mrs. S. O.
Andrews.
Mrs. E. T. Lindsey who has been
the guest of Mrs. J. C. Cmith fcr
two weeks, returned to her home
in Hartford, Conn., Tuesday.
Hardly had the fund here opened
for contributions to aid in the relief
.vork among the refugees of the
lisastrous Mississippi flood when
the school children of the SoutU
Shelby school opened their heart
and little funds of money to the
homeless, and in many cases par
entless tots of the flood area.
From the South Shelby school is
reported a $10 contribution from
the children and faculty anxious to
do their bit and staying the suffer
ing and death among the thousands
of refugees.
Otherwise Shelby is contributing
slowly to the fund. The list of con
tributors today lacks quite a bit of
reading like the city telephone di
rectory. Only $140 had been con
tributed early this morning and fieri
Cross officials make an urgent ap
peal for more contributions at once.
Funds are needed now in the sec
tion where the Mississippi, fathei
of waters, has roared from its
banks and levies and swept prop
erty and human lives before it.
Give it Now.
“Open up and give something to
day,” is the appeal of Attorney D.
Z. Newton, treasurer of the fund.
Latest reports from the flooded
area in Arkansas, Mississippi and
Missouri are that the army of re
j fugecs has increased to more than
one hundred and fifty thousand peo
ple. Many of them are without suf
ficient clothes. Food supplies are
running low and the death list is
growing steadily. A few dollars muy
mean the saving of a life.
As the swift waters move on
rnree more aeatns nave pushed the
total death mark to 110.
May Break Levees.
It is now planned to deliberately
flood a vast area in upper Louis
ana, by breaking the levees, so as to
save New Orleans and towns below.
Six more towns and thousands of
acres of fertile farm land in Ar
kansas were flooded yesterday as
the water spread over the valloy
about the Mississippi bed.
Other towns and cities the coun
try over have raised their quota
for the relief work, which is being
supervised by Herbert Hoover, and
Shelby should complete its quota
tomorrow.
