Corn Cracker Saw
Shelby Election
Thev Even Called Him “Colonel”
Thinking To Gel HU Vote,
But He Couldn’t Vote
Editor Star:
For the first time within thirty
years I saw the municipal elector
ate of Shelby in action on last
Monday; ai d can still depose with
out being sworn that, like the col
ored troops, they fought nohlv.
Owing to all kinds of mental and
some physical infirmities, mv busi
ness at Shelby is with a doctor and
a druggist. The doctor assure* to"
that I may rally from mv physi
cal impediments hut that my men.
tal condition is hopeless. Tn fact,
he fears I shall be pulled into the
noisy and inconsistent conclave of
the adherents of A1 Smith—which
will, of course, mean my incar
ceration in a madhouse. Early
Monday morning of May 2. 192?. I
flagged down a prosperous gran
ger who is a good Samaritan He
permitted me to ride on he hur
ricane deck of his tin lizzies. and
we rapidly threw miles behind us.
When within nearly four miles of
the City of Springs. I heard a joy
ous explosion of mirth. As mv
hearing is by no means acute. 1
asked my comrade the whencenngs
and the wherefore. H" paid that
Hatcher Webb now and then had
an ebullition of mirth that had a
range of twentv-eight furlovms.
That thp«e audible smiles were Ilk"
the wind, they blow whpre they
list; but you can’t tell whence thev
come nor whither they go. I +old
him that Hatcher was a candidate
for Lord Mavc-r and was therefore
expected to be sedate and circum
scribed. His reply was tha^ Hatch
er i« a pronounced optmnst and
would, probably, laugh at the
stirring trump_ of do^m that will
proclaim that time shall lie no
more. We anchored onj* boat in
Shelby, and I heard the roar of
vocal music. It turned out. tr> b«
a sextette, and all the municipal
candidates were making a contri
bution of lumbering vocal melody.
The sonic was:
"I loved a young lady, her name
was Kate Brady,
She came with her mother from
over the sea.
I told my love Sunday, pot roit
tened on Monday
Aiid that is the cause of great
miser-ee.
I never shall marry though here I
may tarry
To figure my age at a hundred and
ten;
My love is a canker my fooling arc
ranker
Than were ever hetrayod by an old
sitting hen.”
i As I thought it was the fine,
Italian hand of A1 Smith speaking
: through a sample of Mr standard
i proof but un-tax home brew, I was
enraged, disgusted; *nr>d used bn
j gunge unorthodox and unparlia
mentary. But a reliable man as
sured me that they never had the
smell of homebrew upon their gar
ments. neither did their breath
smell like a distillery struck hv
lightning, T asked wbense surh
revelry and was assured it was
the contagious example of Hatch
er Webb when his muse wgs riding
him with spurs. Hence all was for
given.
my doctor iookoh nip over ana
said T might last to vote in next
presidential election; but my com
diiion was precarious.
Generally, when I visit Shelhv I
dhn’t attract much attention, nor
do I try to stand in the vivid spot
light. Tim people of sense and
principle greet me ouiedy and cor
dially; while the fellows whose
staple article of diet in their
bringing up was soap grease, glare
at me with true asainino stupidity.
Of course I didn't expect to vote
in ihis race; although I entertain
kind and friendly feelings for
every aspirant. Several attractive
lnd-'cs approached me saluted me
as “Col. Corn Cracker,” and soli
cited my suffrage for their hus
bands. I told them that I infested
the Wilds of township No. 8 and

was not allowed io vote anywhere
else. But as Kentucky chivalfy is
a strong trait of my nature, I wax
ed indignant because I could not
help those ladies. Dave Baker of
King? Moui.tain and Tulius Smith
of Shelby, both expressed sympa
thy for my handicap. It was de
cided that I receive a pension for
my forty-five years as a teacher
and be allowed, hereafter, to vote
in the municipal elections of
Shelby.

Charlotte,—A new hydro-electric
plant with a generating capacity
fif 56,000 horsepower will bo built
immediately at Oxford Shoals,
near Claremont. on the Catawba
river, by the Southern Power
company, accordir.g to an an
nouncement from the officer of the

equipment of the new plant and
much of the preliminary work has
already been done. It is believed
that ihc plant will be in operation
by June 1, 1928
Officials of the company declin
ed to make any estimate of the
cost, pointing out that the work
was done by the construction de
partment of the Duke interests find
that no accurate idea of the
amount of money could be had.
Other reconjly built, dams >n the
system have cost between 'Tx end
eight million dollars and the Ox
ford Shoals plant probably .' ill
cost more than $5,000,000, it is osti
mated.
The Oxford Shoals plant is the
twelfth hydro-electric plant that
has been built by the Duke inter
ests. Tha total generating cannot1 v
of these twelve plants is 651,000
horsepower.
- A recent contract between the
Southern Power company and the
Tallnssee Power company gives
the former tire entire output from
the High Rock darn on the Yadkin
river, now under construction.
1 he High Rock and the Oxford
Shoals plants will add SO 000
horsepower in 1928 in the Duke
system. With the hydro-electric
plants generating 721,000 horse
power and the steam plants gen
erating 721.000 horsepower, the
total ouput of the new Southern
Power company is now placed at
901.000 horsepower.
Tho now plant will have the
largest hydro-generating units in
service on the entire Duke system,
the plans calling for two units of
28.000 horsepower each. Contracts
for the generators have been

tric and Manufacturing company.
