Kra i >t. . . . Town events and community items of Cleveland. The Shelby Highs are in Spin-! dale this afternoon wh< | at 4 o'clock they are scheduled to take on the Forest City Highs in the game that will decide the baseball championship of group seven in the state high school race. All advance prospects are that i it will be a nip-and-tuck affair. Shelby has won two so far in the j state series, one from Kings Moun tain and one from Fallston. For est City defeated Henrietta for the Rutherford county champion ship, completely running away with the score. Shelby defeated Forest City twice in exhibition games by one run only and this j gives an idea of the strenuous j contest, likely today. McKeithan, j Forest City star hurler, struck out 17 men in his last game. The usual Shelby line-up will take the field, it is understood. It is not known yet whether “Dutch’ Whisnant, mainstay of the local hurling staff, will be shoved in the jreach for his third straight rarre. Whisnant has hurled both victories.'so far and may he rested today if some other hurler goes well. in that case Cline may go! from first to the mound with Bridges taking care of the initial sack: Or Lefty Moore may be given a shot at the Rutherford champs with his forkside slants. ‘‘Virtually Vo Supporters’’ Said. Could Carry Through With out Much Wrangle. (Jonathan Daniels in News and Observer.) Washington.—“Smith has vir tually no supporters in North Carolina,” the New York World, which is vigorously supporting the candidacy of the New, York Gov ernor. has been informed by its own investigators. The investigator, William H. Crawford, however. wrrit,es for the World th.nt if Smith is nominated, he can lose 88,000 Dcmocm+ic vote 'a North Carolina and still carry the state. Will Be For McAdoo fraw-ford reports that after yisitinjc the state and talkinp- with ^’eminent nolitioians. he thinks that the North Carolina delega t'en to the Democratic National fnnvention will he for McAdoo hhd that Smith will set "practic ally no support in the convention” frn'0 North Carolina. This estimate from a Smith source is much less optimistic than earlier estimates printed by the New York World from various sources. One estimate given hv it recently predicted that Smith would get eight votes in the con vention from North Carolina. ( rawford, who has travelled all over the country making the study, apparently makes an honest effort to discover the real political con ations. Crawford’s estimate is put •n the form of a personally eon tluctcd straw vote. The statements Wade hy him are based on the opinions of North Carolinians with whom he discussed the general Political situation. The so-called ,Nationali':+s’ ir hina are accusing the United y|atp« of leading China to war. ,e felt, certain it was only a oues ,on of time, until Uncle Sam would be blamed for everything happened over there. Leadin'; Promoters Discouraged After Making Canvas of Town. After the Shelby Highs com plete their season local followers of the national pastime will have to journey elsewhere for entertain ment, it was learned here today when supporters of a summer ball club in the Western Carolina lea gue expresed the sentiment that the proposition was not going over. Funds Run Shy A week or two back the local fire department sponsored a movement that would place a Shelby club in | the amateur circuit composed of Hickory, Newton and other towns. The firemen started the ball roll ing with a $200 contribution. Later following a meeting a committee was appointed to cover the town ; and determine the sentiment for ! summer baseball. Delegates also attended a league meeting at Hickory where plans for the sea i son were talked over. Leaders today stated that they found a sentiment for summer baseball but very little supporting cash for a winning team. In their opinion it was better to have no ball at all than a medicore brand attracting very little interest. "Lefty” Robinson, one of the most loyal baseball fans of the town, expressed keen disappoint ment that the proposition was not put over. Summer games in a town Boy Scout league, or twilight circuit is being talked, it is understood. Back On Job After Long Vacation-It’s On Chain Gang Job Dillerd Beane Back Making Little L'ns Out o Big Uns After Several Months. Ho! Hum! This going back to work after vacationing for a spell isn’t any fun. That is the sentiment of the or dinary vacationist returning to the daily routine. It is a little early for vacationists to be coming back to the old job, but down on the No. G chaingang force Dillard Deane, known also as Ralph Deane, is again “making big uns out o’ lit tle uns.” Young Deane was given a two year term on the roads a little over one and one-half years ago. After serving about two months he made his escape, with outside aid, any way some outsiders suffered for it. For a year and one-half he has been vacationing up in the cool, healthy sections of New York, where the ultra rich go to play and drowse time away. A week or two ago the youngster became tired of “dodging” and gave himself up to officers in Jamestown, N. Y. He was brought back here this week by Policeman Poston and yester day morning he was escorted from the county jail out to his old job No brass band awaited the fellow who had been away vacationing for a year and a half, but it is said that many of the same instruments common to his original job were turned over to him again. As it is the returning wanderer has about 22 calendar months to do provided more is not added because of the vacation, and here comes the sob part, he would have only about four or five good summer months to work yet had he not taken a vacation. Bel wood School In. Final Exercises Rev. Hugh K. Boyer, pastor of 'Central Methodist chvu*ch, Shel by will begin the finals at Bel wood Consolidated school on Sun day when he preaches the com mencement sermon at 3 p. m. Dr. Boyer is a preacher of wonderful power and will no doubt be heard by a largo audience. On Monday evening beginning at 8 o’clock the junior exercises will be held, while on Tuesday will be graduating ex ercises at 8 p. m. with an address by J. Clint Newton, former coun ty superintendent of education. The senior play on Wednesday evening entitled ‘‘Tompkin s Hired Man” will close the exercises. NEW SPORTS MAGAZINE FOR WESTERN CAROLINA Asheville.—(INS)—-Western N. C. now has a magazine devoted exclusively to sports in this sec tion. The initial issue has just ap peared. It is called the ‘‘Asheville Sport-O-Lotf.” Woman’s Club And Private Gifts Aid Flood Fund Express Company Helping In Flood The local office of,the American Railway express company has re- | ceivcil the following message from | Wm. Eggleston, superintendent: j “Until further advised you may handle free less than carload enter- j gency shipments for relief of flood , refugees in Mississippi territory, I when addressed in care of Red | Cross or other officially constitu- . ted relief organizations.’’ tobHTeEs TODAY FOR SAVING CITY NEW ORLEANS Latest news from the flood ed Mississippi area is that le vees in Louisiana will be blast ed to day so that the pictures [ que city of New Orleans may be saved from the raging wa ' ters. The levees will be broken 12 miles from New Orleans i with the hope that the level of the waters will be lowered. Forrest City, Ark., located on a ridge, has become the ' largest center for hospitality and relief work in the strick en area. The 4,000 citizens of j the town have opened their homes and food supplies to hun dreds of refugees, it being es timated that 12,000 are quar tered in the town. It is said that the small town itself rais ed $7,500 for relief work among its countrymen. Red Cross and relief agencies have taken oyer the refugees work and the story of the Arkansas city is now the shining point of the flooded area. Out in the lowlands below Ner Orleans inhabitants are giving up their homes and ‘ farms so that New Orleans may be saved when the levees are broken to flood their plan tations. __ Ten thousand families in One section of Arkansas will be compelled to start life anew as the waters recede. At Shaw, Mississippi, 2,500 people are being housed >n box cars. Cleveland, Miss., is filled with refugees and can not take care of the thousands of others fleeing in. Southeast Arkansas reports damages totalling over three million with 683,000 acres flooded and 125,000 people af fected. Fresh reports of outbreaks of disease in 14 refugee camps yesterday complicated the al ready serious situation. Although a banquet speaker has not as yet been selected for the meeting alumni of Boiling Springs looking forward to a big occasion Saturday, it being the date for the annual alumni banquet for the in ! stitution. There will be an alumni meeting at the school at 5 o’clock in the aft ernoon to be followed by a big banquet at 8 o’clock.

May and October 12; July and December 10 American points lower than due. Southern weather last night all clear. Showers at Atlanta. Forecast Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee showers. Mississippi probably showers central and north portion, Arkansas showers north west portion; Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas partly cloudy. River rose a foot at Vicksburg but is falling north of there. Levee at Poydras, La., will be blown out today relieving anxiety over New Orleans. Newspapers confirm the statement made by J. A. Becker, member of crop reporting board of department of agriculture, who un officially estimates cotton growing area affected by flood at two mil lion bales last year or 2 1-2 per cent of the total crop. Good busi ness in Worth s*reet. Would buy on good reactions. Total Shelby Contributions Over $250 Mark. Hope for Con tributions Over Week-end. Vp until this morning the Clev eland county Red Cross has receiv ed $266,27 for Relief work in the flood stricken area about the rag-1 ing waters of the Mississippi. The largest single contribution coming in since previous acknowl edgement was a $25 check from the Woman's club of Shelby. Down n South Shelby, the school children opened up again and gave $8.27. Other contributors included folks in various walks of life. However, D. Z. Newton, treas urer of the fund, seems somewhat disappointed in the lack of interest shown in uptown Shelby. To say it plainly, contributions from uptown centers are not rolling in as fast as was expected. tie wno gives quii'Kiy, givvo twice”, is a slogan that applies to the Mississippi situation. Relief work and funds are needed now. In a week or so the stricken refu gees will have their flooded farms back again and their pride will make them fight their battle against des perate odds alone. Small towns lo cated on high ridges are doing their best to care for refugees from low-lying towns and farms, but they are unable to cope with the situation. In one Aransas town alone every inhabitant is taking care of three refugees, splitting their funds and food supplies while the sources of their own income are flooded. Red Cross officials here hope to swell the local fund to $350 by Sat urday night. Will you help? The majority of the local contributions should be forwarded by that time. Other towns have already sent their contributions. Will the so-called “friendly city” fall short of ill quota ? It’s up to you.

Veteran’s Birthday Goes Fine For Him C. R. Ellis, local Confederate veteran, celebrated his 81st birth day Wednesday and the occasion was fittingly remembered by the local members of the U. D. C. who gave him boxes of fine fruit and other things. The pleased veteran asked that The Star express his thanks to the ladies and added “May the Lord bless them for their work for the veterans, and may I be pres ent to see them on another re union. TAXES COME IN AS FINAL DAY NEARS Sheriff Hugh Logan stated to day that county taxes are coming in good this week. This is the last week before the law’s time for ad vertising property with taxes un paid and there has been * quite a rush in straightening up the ac counts with the county.

Eskridge (loses Con true! to Open1 Bureau Here for Months of June and July. Chas. I,. Eskridge has closed a contract with the automobile li cense bureau to onen a station here! again this year for the issuance of, state auto licenses. It will he recall-, ed that the last legislature provided j that this year auto owners will be required to buy license for a six I months period—July 1st to Decent-] her 31st. so that beginning with next year the license plates will he good for the calendar year. Heretofore the license year bias been front July 1st to June 30th, but a change is being made for; the convenience of the farmers who declare that it suits them better to buy license plates in the Fall rather than mid-summer. So this year auto owners will he re quired to buy twice—a license plate for a six months period end ing December 31st and another plate around the first of the year | for 1928. Of course the plate which you will be required to buy will be half the yearly license rate, plus 25c cost of the extra plate. Mr. Eskridge says the local li cense station will sell for only two months: June and July. Any one, regardless of where they live can secure new six months license here, or get it direct from the li cense bureau at Raleigh. There are a number of stations in North ! Carolina. Shelby ;is 'fortunate in having one for the convenience of the autoists. Other nearest sta tions are Gastonia, Hickory and Asheville. Meeting To Begin At Dover Church John W. Suttle Will Assist Rev. D. F. Putnam. Over 100 Acces sions Since Last June. Beginning next Sunday morning j service will continue through the l week and as the interest may indi l cate, at the Dover Baptist church ! Rev. John W. Suttle will assist the ■ pastor Rev. D. F. Putnam and do ' the preaching. Services will be held at night and a day service may be arranged for if the people desire ! such. A cordial invitation is ex tended to all the people in the Do , ver and Ora communities to at tend and worship. Mr. Suttle will i give good gospel messages and the i church will welcome all who attend. The church at Dover has had a 1 remarkable growth since the pres ent pastor came last June. There have been 100 accessions to the membership. The membership has ; been more than doubled and mem bers are being received almost at every service. The Sunday school under the leadership of Mr. J. R. Dover has more than 300 enrolled and averages near 200 in attend ance. The B. Y, P. U. is doing well with about 40 members and the Woman’s Missionary society is mak ing good progress. Wants To Honor Names Of Pioneers | A. H. Webb Would Give $100 To ward Fund to Honor Names of Of Pioneer Ministers. Laying aside politics for the j time A. H. Webb who recently made J the statement that he would give $100 conditionally to honor the ' names of Tom Dixon, Milt Webb, Dr. Hudson and Bob Hoyle, pion eer ministers of this county, now repeats his offer with no condi tions attached and also advocates that one of the four aldermen from the town come from the Republican ranks two years hence. Mr. Webb says in his own language: “First: Two years from this date I stand for a Republican for ald erman. The Republicans pay taxes and many of them are good citizens, and as a matter of common, every day honesty they are entitled to at least one alderman,; and there is not a man in this town with as much sense as a last years birds’ nest that doubts my democracy. “Second: I will give one hun dred dollars anytime during the next six months to erect on the court square four monuments to honor the names of Webb, Dixon, Hudson and Hoyle, who have fought to establish righteousness in this town and county. A. H. WEBB. It is said that the accident in surance men are planning to re ject ball players, bootleggers and those who drink illicit liquor, but the fellow who commits murder is still regarded as a rather safe risk. City Ticket Has Vacancies On School Board—Next Mayor Makes Statement 0. M. MULL NOT OUT FOli ATTOW OF CITY—HAS BOOST City Attorney for Yew* Not Ask ing for Reappointment. Praia** Recent Progress of Shelby. O. M. Mull, for some time city at torney and the man who passed the bill for the sale of the first town bonds of Shelby, will not ask re election as city attorney, he stated to The Star today. In running his mind back over the progress of the town in the last 20 years the city attorney was high in his praise of the successful mu nicipal administrations of the past. In his mind Shelby has numerous municipal high points not exceeded in the state. He says: It has been my privilege to serve as city attorney of the town of Shelby for many years. I appre ciate the opportunity I have thus had to be of some service to our town,, but I think the time is now opportune for me to relinquish this responsibility, and I wish to announce that I will not ask or ac cept re-election as city attorney. “As a member of the legislature of 1907 I procured the passage of the law under which possibly our first town bonds were voted, and have been town attorney the greater part of the time since then. At that time there was no waterworks, no sewerage system, and not a yard of paving in Shelby. We had only one school building, and it was of dilapidated wood construction. Since then our population has in : creased from 2,500 to 10,000. Some High Points. I “During the past 25 years Shel j by has been favored with the serv | ices of able, progressive, honest arid efficient town administrations, the mayors have been J. T. Gard ner (several terms). J. C. Smith, J .L. Suttle, C. B. McBrayer, Paul Webb, W. D. Lackey and A. P. Weathers; with boards of aldermen composed of a large number of Shelby’s best cititens. I have been town attorney during practically all this time and found the most cordinl relations and constructive cooper ation during each succeeding ad ministration. As the direct result of the efficient services rendered by these mayors and several boards of aldermen and school boards, Shelby can today truthfully claim (1) the best waterworks system in I the state; (2) one of the very best ■ paved towns in North Carolina; (3) ' excellent electric light system owo | ed by the town; (4) seven school buildings of modern construction, and other municipal improvements which will favorably compare with any city in the state. If this had been done by the lav ish expenditure of money, possibly no special credit would be deserved. But such is not the case. The mar J velous part of this unusual devel opment consists in the fact that Shelby has one of the very lowest tax rates of any town in its site. The finances of the town have been so administered that with a tax rate of $1.25 we have been furn ished more and better municipal im provements than other towns of our state have received with tax rates ranging fiom $1.75 to $2.25. I would urge the citizens of our town to take an active interest in the approaching: election. Shelby has the most progressive, uniform ly intelligent and most moral citi zenship to be found in North Car olina. If this citizenship will give the election proper consideration, I am sure that officials will be elect ed who will maintain the high standard of efficiency already es tablished in the administration of our city government.” Cleveland Boy To Finish Seminary The Southern Baptist convention meets next week at Louisville, Ky. and Revs. G. P. Abernethy, Rush Padgett, Zeno Wall and possibly other local Baptist ministers will attend. They will leave Monday morning. The commencement at the Southern Baptist Theological sem inary begins Sunday and will be in full sway while the convention is in session. It is learned that Rev. Sylvester Elliott of the Beams Mill section will receive his degree of graduate in theology on Tuesday night. Mr. Elliott is one of the most promising young ministers Cleveland county has ever produced and the delegates from this county will witness the graduating exer cises in which he has a part. Candidates Make Final Statement With Flection Near Sis Candidates For Mayor Make Brief State* ments to Star Readers. It has been said by the poli tical prophets that Shelby al ways undergoes a change of sentiment just a few days prior to an election. If that be the case the “last minute" swaying is in order now. Only two more days re main prior to the city’s ballot battle Monday. Observers say that all candidates are unusu ally active as the dny nears and current report on the streets have it that voting sentiment has changed considerably in the last few days. However, one has it that the trend has chang ed for one candidate, while the next has it for another candi date. No development of a start ling nature have bobbed up in recent days, and if there is an other flurry it may come over the week-end. The Mayor Talks. The Star below presents a final statement by the next mayor of Shelby! Swallow that. Each candidate for the mayoral ty berth was asked to prepare a last-minute statement and if pos sible confine the message to 20 words or thereabouts. Some did, some didn’t but the statements arc brief, and one of the six will be mayor. In order to avoid any sug gestion of partiality the statements are carried in alphabetical order: T. J. BABINGTON—“Shelby is so large it is impossible to'see every voter, so the support of every good man and woman will be ap preciated by me.” R. E. CARPENTER—Feel confi dent of election. If elected will give the office all the time required. Early voting of my supporters Monday will be appreciated.” W. N. DORSEY—"My platform in Wednesday's’ paper was filed about 3 o’clock Tuesday afternoon,, was read by several in Star officj that night. Mr. and Mrs. Suttle's statement was filed following morning. Take the case, ladies and gentlemen.” ORLANDO ELAM—“Still in the race. Like al lcandidates for aider men. I am running for mayor.” T. W. HAMRICK—“Neither mo ney, influence, or factions will elect a mayor this time—it is going to be the ‘silent vote’—the vote that has Shelby’s welfare at heart.” A. H. WEBB—“I don’t throw away mother’s or my money. If el ected mayor I’ll not be loose with the people’s money.” So, there you are—a statement by the next mayor of Shelby. BOND ELECTION SOON FOR NEXT STATE FAIR Raleigh.—(INS)—The bond elec tion for funds to finance the State Fair will be held here June 15. The amount to be voted on will not exceed $75,000 under a bill passed by the 1927 Legislature. The bill sets aside 200 acres as a fair site with the provision that Raleigh and the State Agrciultural society turn over to the state $200,000 for the erection of buildings. Sage Names Next Mayor For Moses “Grandpap, I’ll give you uf a dime if you’ll tell me the next mayor.” “You’re on. Let# have the money.” The first speaker was Moms Taub, for a score or more years package mail delivery nan for Shelby and the time was Thursday morning. The second speaker, as you prob .bly know was T. W. Ebel toft, the bookstore sage. So, folks, if you can hard ly wait until Monday evening to see just what the tele phone directory name of the next Hizzoner might be list en to this: While Moses fished for the lime, Ebeltoft unbosomed himself thusly: “Moses, I ex pect you to pay off for my prediction will be a sure win ner. He’ll be the fellow who gets the most votes Mon day.” Moses wouldn’t pay, where upon the observant bookseller promised to name the man next Tuesday morning. And, there you are. SOIL BOARD 1 LUBE FOR OFFICE SEEKERS IT SEEMS Becomes Almost Necessary fo Draft Citizens for School Committee. Candidates Not Eager. Although there are six candidates for mayor, berths cr» the Shelby school board are about to go beg ging for occupants. Mr. R. E. Carpenter, candidata for mayor, is automatically elimin ated from the school board nnd this leaves one vacancy. Capt. J. Frank Roberts finds that business duties will prevent him from again becom ing a member of the board and hu does not ask re-election. Mr. Geo. Blanton, a third member of the present board, is of the opinion that he should devote more time to busi- * ■ ness affairs and would prefer that some other citizen become school committeeman for the town. li Irtenas are unanie to persuaue Mr. Blanton to remain on the board three vacancies loom up, all three filled now with efficient, loyal cit izens. i« f &UB It is generally understood that Mr. R. T. LeGrand will be a candi date for the board on the ticket Monday and it is hoped to have Mr. John Schenck jr., take one of the other vacancies. However, as the situation now stands it will likely be another day or so before the school ticket is complete. Civic leaders were today tem porarily stumped over the situation An attempt was made this morning to have J. C. Newton, former coun ty superintendent, line up for one of the vacancies, but he refused to do so. Similar attempts are being made with other citizens. Yet at 1 o’clock this afternoon Mayor A. P. Weathers said that so far the school ticket was incomplete. Registrar T. C. Eskridge stated just before noon today that 200 new voters had registered for the city election in Shelby Monday. About 1,505 people voted in the city election two years ago and with the new register added the total is 1,771. Registration offi- J cials, however, estimate that be tween 50 and 75 people will regis ter today and tomorrow, making the total around 1,800 votes. SlLESllK CHI BE DEEM) May Be In Counties Latter Part June In Time For Settle ment In July. Raleigh. April 28.—Under the recent ruling of the Attorney Gen eral, the sale of land for county taxes may be extended from day to day until the last of June, ac cording to a letter sent out yes terday to county commissioners and county accountants by Coun ty Advisor C. M. Johnson, but must be made in time to enable the sheriff to settle for his taxes on the first Monday in July. The new law requires the tax collector to make a report on the first Monday In May of the un collected taxes, and the county commissioners are then required to order a sale of all lands for taxes, if the taxes have not been paid. The advertisement must run for four consecutive weeks, and this advertisement is the most im portant duty for the commission- , ers, Mr. Johnson points out. If for' >' any reason the advertisement is not started before the 10th' or 15th of May, then the sale of lands could not take place until a month later. The purpose of the act is td ac quire a settlement by the sheriff on the first Monday in July, and it is this settlement to which em phasis is given in the law, accord ing to Mr. Johnson. The new coun ty tax law makes It a misdemean or for county commissioners to fail to carry out its provisions, but Mr. Johnson says that theft is considerable latitude as to the time of the sola of taxes.
