GRAY VETS MEET
HERE i TUESDAY
FOR ANNUAL DAY
Followers Of Lee and Jackson
To Swap Yarns and Keminis
censes. Dinner at 12.
Weather permitting many a re
miniscent story will be told on the
court square Tuesday when the
Confederate veterans of Cleveland
county gather for the annual din
ner given them by the Cleveland
Guards chapter of the Daughters
of the Confederacy.
Deeds that were dong behind
Stonewall .Jackson or following the
immortal Robert F. Lee will be re- j
i lated among comrades who were
! fighting pals in ’65, Bent forms
j will straighten for a moment, the
! old flash of the eye such as fol
lowed the “rebel yell” of long ago
I will return for a brief minute, and
the mind will run back .through
musty years as the veterans re
I count events of another day io
comrades stooped with the weight
of years, and graying with the
passing of time.
There will not be so many as
were present last year and far less
than the number attending two
and three years ago, and perhaps
i only about half the number pres
ent five years ago. The “thin
gray line,” immortal in fighting
| history, is growing thinner yearly,
i and come another few’ years and
! these annual dinners will be his
| tory only. The child of tomorrow
i will know' the Confederate only
j through the reports heard from
I elders.
tne veterans are asked to as
1 semble on the court square at 10
o’clock about the monument erect
ed to the cause for which they
i fought and for which many a com
rade gave his life.
At 10:30 o’clock the little band
| escorted by Confederate Daughters
; and other friends of the veterans
i will move on to the cemetery for
; memorial exercises oven’the graves
of those already in the final bi
vouc. After the memorial services
i the veterans will return to the
i Masonic Temple for the annual,
address and the dinner to be serv
: ed by the Daughters.
Colored Woman Severely Cut Sat
urday Night. Either Man or
Wife Used Knife.
Near the same spot w'here rela
tives of the two families engaged
in a fatal shooting affair about one
year ago, Reba Edwards, a negro
woman, was severely cut Saturday
night at the Masonic temple corn
er as the result of a family affair,
or something resembling" one of
the so-called “eternal triangles.”
Police investigating the cutting
say that the Edwards woman and
Will Abrams and his wife had en
gaged in some words a short time
prior to the cutting and it is their
belief that either Abrams or his
wife did the cutting. For a time
Saturday night it was thought that
Abrams cut the Edwards woman,
but Chief B. 0. Hamrick stated
that Abrams^wife was said to have
admitted doing the cutting. Wheth
er or not there had been anything
between Abrams and the “other
woman” is not definitely known by
officers.
ihe injured woman bleeding pro
fusedly walked half the distance
around the court square after the
cutting leaving a trail of blood on
the sidewalk. Later she was taken
to the Shelby hospital for treat
ment. It was said today that her
condition was such, she was able
i to go to her home and that the
! wound in her breast was not con
I sidered serious. A court airing of
! the affair will likely come up Tucs
| day.
| „ A year or so ago it will be re
j membered that Abrams’ brother
shot and killed Will Carpenter over
Carpenter’s wife at the same
street corner. Another unusual an
gle is that the Edwards woman is
said to be a sister of the Carpen
ter woman.
Tax Collections

Million Mark Here
It was stated at the sheriff’s of

It was estimated today that
around $492,000 had been paid into
the office as county taxes. This is
the last week taxes can be accept
ed before the delinquent tax list
j is published Friday. Tax collections
I during the past week or so has
' neared a record in the county.

Local Man Tells
Of Flood Scenes
Mr. W. A. McCord is back in
Shelby, after a trip through the
flood area of the Mississippi Val
ley. Insofar as is known, Mr. Mc
Cord is the first local man to bring
back first hand news of the great
disaster. Traveling through Miss
issippi, he was stopped time and
again by rising waters. He deScrib
es the flood as about a hundred
miles wide in Mississippi and Lou
isiana, the flood waters having
such force bursting through the
levees as to uproot huge trees. He
visited New Orleans, and tells of
water being neck deep in some
street, following the fourteen inch
rainfall, this flood being independ
ent of the river rampage.
Cases in April Led afarch by Hig
Number. Numerous New Cases
Are Reported This Month.
The smallpox epidemic over Clev
eland county continues with very
little let-up, according to Dr. D. F.
Moore, county physician.
Several new cases have already
been reported this month and if
the new cases continije to develop
May may even surpass April in the
number of new cases. There were
34 new cases reported during April,
which was an increase over March.
A great number of the cases are
in the rural sections although some
smallpox is scattered about the
towns it is said. The county phy
sician says that families wherein
there is smallpox should report the
cases to the county physician if no
doctor is attending.
Other than the smallpox wave
and some whooping cough, conta
gious diseases are few over the
county, I)r. Moore states.

Shelby Meets Cherryville
In Western Semi-Finals On
Tuesday—Beat Asheville
Highs Keep In State Race Hy Hosing Out Asheville In Poor
Game. Play Strong Cherry ville Team
Tomorrow.
Shelby will present a semi-de
serted appearance Tuesday after
noon when scores of local fans will
accompany the Shelby High base
ball team to Gr .tonia where Mor
ris’ boys meet the strong Cherrj
ville team in the semi-finals for
Western-Carolina baseball honors.
The winner of Tuesday’s game w ill
play another western team at Con
cord for the western title, the state
champime hin coming in the next
game. In other words, Shelby must
win three more straight games to
cop a third title.
Casey Morris’ young clubbers
moved into the semi-finals bracket
by defeating Asheville here Friday
11 to 8 in a game that presented
a little bit of everything except
baseball. Both teams played poor
-ball and both deserved to lose. With
numerous stores closed up for the
important game more than l,0f>3
people jammed the city park to be
disgusted at frequent bobbles and
bone-head plays. A few sterling
plays and the closeness of the score
however held the interest until the
end.
Although there were 19 runs
made in the game only four were
earned. Shelby making three and
Asheville one. Otherwise errors,
wild throws and gneral butter-fin
gered play ran the score up.
“Dutch” Whisnant, veteran hook
ball artist, who has won three
games so far in the state race,
made his fourth consecutive ap
pearance and despite the fact that
he was taken off the mound in the.
eighth is credited with winning the
game. But too much steady work
and erratic support crumbled the
effectiveness of the young hurler
and with one or two exceptions 'he
was in danger throughout th•
game. The Asheville squad was one
of the niftiest seen here this year
hut like Shelby had an off day. Mc-!
Genzie, who started on the mound
for the mountaineers, had worlds1
of speed, but these hoys who ham
mer the horsehide for Morris like
speed and after the third frame Mc
Kenzie gave away to Fitzgerald, a
youthful southpaw 'whose slow
forkside slants baffled the locals
by mere slowness alone.
Asheville cast a damper over lo-;
local fans in the initial frame inak-,
ing four runs in quick succession.
A wild throw by Gillespie, a had
error by Sparks and Whisnant’s
wildness were responsible for the
tallies. However, only one of the
four was earned and had the bad
throw been eliminated this run
would never been made. Shelby
went out in one-two-three ordec
in the first and fans began to see
their team eliminated. But the old
Whisnant cunning ahd nerve came
back in the second and with his
entire team dead and dejected be
hind him “Dutch” turned three

Business Light
On Wedding Mart
With June, the month of brides
approaching business is very light
on the local marriage mart.
Register Andy Newton picks up
his newspaper and regularly reads
the list of North Carolina couplet
receiving licenses in South Caro

ever turn so that home folks will
be married at home.
With nine days of May already
gone only two marriage licenses
have been issued this month. They
were Clyde E. Powell and Ora El

Walter Barron Is
Dead In York, S. C.
Former Superintendent of Shelby
Water and Light Plants Died
This Morning.
Walter W. Barron died at his
home in York, S. C., this morning
according to a telegram received
here by Mr. Mial Tiddy. The funer
al will be held there Tuesday morn
ing at 10 o’clock. Mr. Barron had
many friends in Shelby where he
lived for a number of years and
was superintendent of the water
and light plants before and after
the municipal ownership of the light
plant. Mr. Barron was a skilled el
ectrician and plumber and a highly
esteemed citizen with a host of
friends here to whom the news of
| his death comes with surprise and
! sorrow.
Particulars of bis illness and
death have not been learned. In
fact, few people of Shelby knew
that he had been ill at all. After
leaving Shelby a number of years
ago he returned to his native coun
ty of York and was engaged in the
electrical business. He was married
and is survived by his wife and
three daughters. It will be recalled
that his dwelling was destroyed by
fire several months ago.
A number of Shelby friends will
no doubt attend the funeral to
morrow.
Eight Boxes Old
Clothes Gathered
For Flood Victims
First Baptist Church Sends Cloth-1
ing and $55 to Vicksburg
Baptist Church.
Eight boxes of second-hand
clothes which still have much wear
in them, are at the Rex Cigar com
pany office to be shipped in a day
or two to Dr. Greenoe, pastor of the
First Baptist church at Vicksburg,
Miss., where there are 16,000 re
fugees from the Mississippi valley
flood. Dr. Zeno Wall, pastor of the
First Baptist church here, asked a
few days ago for contribution in
the way old clothing and money
and the people have responded
generously. In addition to the eight
boxes of clothing, the sum of $55
has been contributed through the
church. These are not being sent
through the Red Cross but
through the church channels direct
to Vicksburg where the need is
very urgent at this time.
Dr. Wall says other contribu
tions will be gladly received and
dispatched to the flooded area. It
might be that many country church
es would like to offer something,
either money or old clothes. If so,
send your gift along to Mr. Led
ford at the Rex CigT.' company and
the same wjll be promptly dispatch
ed.

| Makes Dollar Day (
! Out Of Two Cows !
Two cows properly handled
are worth >1 per day to their
owner, or so conies the opinion
of C. N. Elam, energetic farm
er of Lawndale. Route 2.
According to County Agent
Alvin Hardin, Elam each month
gets a crenm check averaging
over |30 for the cream for two
cows despite the fact that the
cows also supply the Elam fam
ily of six people. This record
has been consistent since Octob
er. The cows are fed with home
grown feeds and their upkeep
is practically nothing making
the $1 per day near all profit.
The Elam example is a proud
one for the county agent, who
is a big booster for diversifica
tion and farm upKeep at home.

IN PAPER FRIDAY
A. E. Cline, county accountant
and chairman of the county com
mission board, states that the list
of delinquent tax payers will be
published Friday. Mr. Cline finds
by the state tax law' he has time
to get in the four weeks of adver
tising prior to the county settle

payers who have not paid to get
paid up at the last minute before
the sheriff turns over the list to
the commissioners.
Mr. Cline has ajso notified coun
ty officials Saturday that it would
be necessary for them to prepare
an actual cost list of their various
offices for the county accountant's

officer, in his mind, in the six
counties he represented for years
as court solicitor. Richards is a
Baptist and has a family, which it
is said, he will move to Shelby.
Mr. Dorsey says that Mr. Rich

violating a law and told that upon
the second violation things would
not be so easy.
