Columbus, 0.—A 16-ycar-old boy—the youngest prisoner ever sentenced to die in the electric ctiair and one of the youngest slayers to receive the death penalty in the country—is in Ohio penitentiary here awaiting, the execution of a death sentence scheduled for Au gust 11. He is Floyd Hewitt, a tall, gang ling, overgrown country youth, con demned for one of the most brutal double slayings in the nation’s crim inal annuls.. Hewitt lived in a small village, Conneaut, in northern Ohio, with his mother, who was separated frem his father. Across the road from his mothers’ home lived his two victims, Mrs. Celia Brown, 30 and her little son, Fred Brown jr,, the wife and only child, respectively of a railroad brakeman. Slapped by Woman. The Brotvn family had a radio, and as Floyd, the neighbor boy was excessively fond of music, he fre quently spent his evenings at their home, listening to concerts and “keeping company” with Mrs. Brown, w'ho was nervous because her hubsand worked late at night, and left her and the baby alone in their little cottage. One night last February, accord ing to a confession which Hewitt gave soon after his arrest, he sat on a sofa with Mrs. Brown, listen ing to the music, while the child played on the floor of the living room. “I listened to the music until it kind of made me drunk—crazy with love,” Hewitt told the sheriff. He attempted improper advances to Mrs. Brown, and she slapped him. Then the youth, in a frenzy of of rage, seized a poker and beat the woman to death. Meanwhile the little boy, screaming with ter ror, fled to the basement, and He witt,, fearful that the child’s cries would attract neighbors and result in his detection, followed him and crushed his head with a baseball bat. . Slept After Murder. Then the slayer went calmly to his heme, retired and slept soundly urit‘1 daylight, when Brown, re turning to his home, found the house lighted up, the radio going full blast, and the gruesome corpses of his little family. Brown aroused the neighbors, and the search be gan. While all the men folks were engaged in the hunt for the slaye.s the women of ' the neighborhood gathered at one home and Floyd was left to “protect” them. The finding of a button, torn from Hewitt’s jacket in his death struggle with Mrs. Brown, led to his arrest, and he soon confessed. His trial lasted two weeks. One murderer younger than He witt was hanged for murder in Ohio nearly 40 years ago, but he is the most youthful of a long proces sion of killer who have paced the narrow concrete corridor that leads to the “death-house” at the big Buckeye prison. ' An appeal will be made in He witt’s behalf, but executive clem ency, exercised to commute his sentence to life imprisonment be cause of his youth, seems to be the only hope of his escaping the chair. Many Farmers Are Diversifying Here In answer to a recent editorial which appeared in the Charlotte Observer, crediting some farm agent with saying there is only one farmer in Cleveland county who really diversified Prof. V. C. Taylor, teacher of agriculture in the Lattimore high school, says this farm agent and the Observer are quite wrong. Mr. Taylor says there are a dozen or two farmers in No. 7 township who practice diversification and in the county as a whole there are scores of them who do not depend on one, two or even three crops. On the other hand, plenty of farmers raise amply crops for man and beast and have several money crops besides. Shelby Seniors Pick Kathleen Hord As Prettiest Girl—Other Superlatives Alex George Is Most Popular Boy And Mary Brandt Switzer Most Popular Girl. “Dude” Ligon Best Looking Boy. Kerr Best Athlete. The “Who’s Wap” department of the high school annual just issued by the senior class of the .Shelby High school discloses that the stu dious youths have been picking some beauties. Kathleen Hord, daughter of Mrs W. N. Dorsey, was selected by her classmates as the prettiest senior of the bunch. And so many pretty girls are there in the senior class that the department also includes a berth for the “best looking girl.” This honor was accorded Eva Go forth, brunette .Just what differ ence in pulchritude there is be tween “prettiest”’ and “best look ing’ is hard to determine, but both young lassies should be satisfied. The prettiest boy wasnt selected —perhaps because boys do not like to be called pretty—but Harris Ligon, known as ‘Dude’ among his classmates, was voted to be the best looking young gallant of the list. Ligon, a son of Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Ligon is one of the school’s tennis stars. The Popular Twain Alex George, everybody's pal, was picked as the school’s most pop ular boy, while Mary Brandt Swit zer was his running mate as the most popular girl of the graduating Mass. Thomas Kerr, gritty little football quarterback and baseball captain, was named the most ath letic boy of the class and Alice James was picked for the most athletic girl. There must have been a division of sentiment over another pick for Margaret Weaver was selected as the happiest and Joyce Wilson as the best natured. Lois Stubbs is the man hater, and Elias Kouri, rela tive of the most popular boy, was the woman hater of the group. The other superlatives of the senior class follow: Most attrac tive—Anne Lutz; most influential —Charlie Mae Laughridge; most lovable—Nancy Suttle; most an gelic—Elsie Green; most indepen dent—Margaret Blanton; most dig nified—Herman Mauney; most re served— Lucile Hamrick; most ori ginal—Clyde Whisnant; most stu dious—Lee Wray; wittiest boy— Ed Harris; wittiest girl—Mary Frances Putnam; most talkative— Thomas Harris; most dependable— Troy McKinney; most ambitious— George Richbourg; big shiek—Pete Green; big shiekess—Mary Ford Elam. No further questions should be asked about the 1927 class at ths | Shelby high school. New Manager, New Club House, Pool Pavilion, Orchestra and Golf Course Additions. I Cleveland Springs, Shelby's con vention site and resort asset, is anticipating one of the biggest see.-j sons in its history. Numerous con-j ventions are scheduled there for the1 year and with many additions to the. hotel and play facilities the hotel is expected to rank among the leading summer vacation spots in the state. George L. Eaton, recently nanu d manager of Cleveland Springs, comes from Shreveport, La., where! he was in charge of a CftO-room j hotel. Since the coming of the new. manager several changes have becnj made, including the employment of j a five-piece orchestra headed by . Prof. W. T. Sinclair, of the Shelby j schools, who will also act as su pervisor and swimming instructor j at the big bathing pool. Additions to the resort property include a big pavilion being erect-' ed at the swimming pool, and a1 £15,000 club house on the goli course, work on which will start at an early date. The new nine hole golf course is now in splendid shape and it is now proposed to unite the old and new courses for 18-hole play. Other amusement ad ditions include five miles of bridle paths for those enjoying horse back riding, and big, equipped play grounds for children. Free picnic grounds, a new innovation at Clev eland, are also being added. ! The big attraction of the local resort is the mineral waters, long famous over the Carolinas, and the new management proposes an add ed benefit through these waters by i the installation of sulphur baths. Brother Of Major League Star Gets Fined In Shelby George Pennock, of Gastonia, a Brother of Herb Pennock, Yankee Pitcher Nabbed. George Pennock, cotton mill ma chinery salesman, was arrested just on the outskirts of Kings Mountain by Chief Irvin Allen and tried here yesterday by Recorder John P. Mull on the charge of be ing intoxicated. He was fined $25 and the costs, it is said. Pennortci a brother of Herb Pen nock of the New York-Yankee ball club and the beat southpaw in the major leagues, explained, it is said, that he had been out the night be ! fore and had merely taken an eye ' opener. He was as'eep in the car I at the time officers approached, : according to the Kings Mountain ! News. i Postal Carriers Call Off Meeting It has been customary for the rural letter carriers of Cleveland and Rutherford counties to hold joint meetings and this year Latti more was selected as a common meeting ground. The date was set for May 30th, but on account of tiie prevalence of smallpox in thol community and in other communi ties of the county, the joint meet ing will not be held this year, ac cording to the officials of the Clev eland county rural letter carriers association of which A. G. Higgins of Belwood is president and George Dover of Shelby is secretary. The Cleveland county carriers, however, will meet in Shelby on Tuesday May 31st at 4 p. m. to get ready for the state convention which meets at Durham on July 4 and attend to the other business j i which might come before the mem- j I bers. Flood Fund Fails To Spread Further Suffering in the flooded Mississippi area isn’t over. In fact, other sections near New Orleans are now threatened and about Greenville, Miss., there is still much need of Red Cross relief— —But, since the last issue of The Star, D. Z. Newton, Red Cross treasurer, has received only $2 additional to the Shel by contributions. Shelby needs j a small sum yet to go over | its quota.

Bir. John S. Wray, county tteas ufcr for about ten yea>-s, and one the county's most influential citizens, died Thursday at 11 o’clock at the Shelby hospital where he has been a patient for ten days, suffering from a frac tured hip sustained when he fell at his home on S.

They were selected as town officials when the village was incorporated and have served the town well. EARLY 3. SHELBY Enrollment Climbs to New I’ealt at End of Eight h School Month. Average Attendance 91. Enrollment in the Shelby city schools reached n new high mark during the eighth school month, according to the attendance report just issued for the month. By the last report it is shown during the eighth school month, ac cording to the attendance report just issued for the month. By the last report it is shown, that the total enrollment is bare ly short of the 3,000 pupil mark. A! year or so ago during a campaign for added school equipment there were those who scoffed at the idea that school enrollment here would reach the 2,500 mark any time soon That school enrollment is now near ing 3,000 shows a steady growth in the town. Enrollment figures for the month follow: School Enroll- Per Ct, ment. Att.

Well, Be Careful Today Of Hoodoo This is Friday the 13th. Good Owen For Some Bad For Others. Helped Shelby Once. \ If you haven’t been knocked down • by a car today, hit by a l'-con.o I tive, or broke n leg from slipping ! on a banana peel, just yank out i your rabbit’s foot and knock on wood. This, by the way, is Friday the 13th. Two clorcly a Hied hoodoos like Friday and the 13th together arc enough to give superstitious folks heart trouble. The number 13 is shrouded with bad luck the world over. In this country many hotels do no thvae a 13th room, or a 13th floor. Some folks will not live in the 13th house on a street, and so on. There are dozens of 13th hoodoos. With gamblers the number 13 is worse fhar. *he ague. However, there are many folks who believe the ordinarily unlucky number is a good omen. Among the famous men believing 13 to be their lucky num ber were Woodrow Wilson ar.d General Pershing. As Cherryville plays Winston to day for the Western baseball title it is remembered that Friday the 13th proved lucky for Shelby on u similar occasion several years ago, when the Highs took the measure of Spencer at Charlotte on the hoo doo day. A black cat was present and perhaps the feline served as a charm, and perhaps it was Shelby’3 lucky day. Cherryville is known to have several rabbit feet and horse shoes and it may be theirs. Anyway, there are more folks who do not like to put any confi dence in Friday the thirteenth and to them it will be a grand and glo rious feeling—the comic expression —to wake up in the morning and find themselves, safe, sane and sound. Turn your rabbit foot around, kiss your horseshoe, and hit the wood. Several hours of the day re main as yet for something to de velop. Board Receives Extension Requests At a called meeting of the! mayor and board of aldermen Tuesday night, a petition was pre sented, signed by citizens of Bel vedere Heights, asking for water and sewer extensions in that pretty section. The council approv ed the request, the work to be done as soon as possible. John Beam and J. S. Willard asked for a sewer line to be built in the Beam development on East Gra ham street, Messrs. Beam and Willard agreeing to pay $160 for piping and also agreeing to dig the ditch. This was approved and will be done as soon as possible. The council gave a release of interest on street paving assess ment against the property of the late Chief Shelton Jones at Jones place. The street assessment will be paid in full, but in view of the fact that Chief Jones served the city so faithfully as an officer and was killed in line of duty, the in terest was rebated. To Let Paving For No. 18 Highway North In June FRENCH AVIATORS NOW BELIEVED TO BE LOST Late morning dispatches stated that no trace had been found of the French aviators, Nungesser and Coli, who at tempted a trans-Atlantic flight from Paris to New York, and have been lost for two days. The only hope that they are still alive is that they landed in some isolated section of La brador. Auditors now engaged in making an audit of the books of Cleveland county offices have found no discrepancies in the county’s business so far, unofficial reports have it. The auditors, who began this week, have completed so far theii work in the offices of Mrs. Mary Yarborough, county treasurer; A. M. Hamrick, clerk of court; John P. Mull, county recorder and A. V. Newton, register. It is presumed that they will be well into the audit of Sheriff Logan’s office by late today. These will be the only of fices audited by the audit bill, it is said. It was learned early yesterday that the offices already audited failed to show a discrepency “of even a penny,” according to report and today the same unofficial re port was made of the other offices completed. The audit plan being used, it is said, is similar to that used by John P. Mull, county recorder and audi tor, and is merely an endorsing check on the sytsem. Auto Body Plant Has Been Completed J. W. Wilson’s new auto body re pair plant has been completed, anil Mr. Wilson is announcing the fact in The Star’s advertising columns today, that the machinery is install ed and he has already begun oper ations in the new establishment. The new plant is a substantial building of brick, fifty by a hun dred feet, on the site of the old body works which was operated by Mr. Wilson over a period of five or six years. So that the new plant re presents an expansion of the form er business. The new plant is commodious, with a full complement of machin ery now installed. It is announced that truck bodies will be built, in addition to the former enterprise of truck and auto body repair. The firm style of the plant is the Shelby Auto and Body Works. No Other Police Officers Picked It was stated at the office of Mayor-elect Dorsey today that no additional police officers other than Chief A. L. Richards had been se lected as yet. Present Chief B. O. Hamrick and Policeman Moore, re commended to the new chief, have not as yet filed applications wit-h Richards, or had not this morn ing, according to Dorsey. The new fire chief is now in town and is making preparation, it is said, to take charge of the fire department work. Fishing License Going Slow Here Cleveland county is not over flowing with the type of enthusi astic fishers that goes afar to seek the big fish in game waters. To date A. M. Hamrick, clerk of court says that he has sold only 38 li cense to fishermen of the county. It is remembered however that no license is required on the old type of river and creek fishing, ar.d those securing license are those who journey nearby lakes aftei game fish. Cotton Coops To ' Meet Here Today A meeting of members of the North Carolina Cotton cooperative association is scheduled to be held this afternoon in the court house here for the purpose of electing three delegates to the district con vention. The district meeting will be held here Tuesday, May 17, at which time the district director will be voted upon and other busness of importance to the association will be taken up. Farmers Asked Not To Finn! Oops On Right Of AVay Of New Road, Says Kistler In June when the State highway commission has another letting of contracts for the paving of roads in North Carolina, highway No. 18 north of Shelby will be included, says Mr. KisUler, of Morgdnton, district highway commissioner. Mr. Kistler wrote this information in reply to a farmer who wanted to know whether or not he could plant crops on ie proposed right of way of the new road. It is re liably reported about town that in June the contract will also be let for the hard surfacing of state highway No, 205 from Kings Mountain to the South Carolina line at Grover. A corp of engineers has been working for several months, mak ing surveys, establishing the route for highway No. 18 from Toluca to the South Carolina line through Shelby, highway No. 205 from Kings Mountain to Grover and highway No. 206 from Shelby to Lincolnton. Just when, if ever, all of these contracts will be 1st, is not known. That depends large ly on when state funds are avail able in this district for construc tion purposes. It is thought, however, that No. 205 from Kings Mountain to Grover will be let in June along with the construction of No. 18 front Shelby to Toluca. The route of No. 18 from Shelby to Toluca is not known to The Star, but is understood to follow in a general way the present sand clay road. Many of the curves have been eliminated, thus shortening the distance several miles in the twenty mile stretch from Shelby through Fallston to Toluca where it joins a tar and gravel road lead ing in the direction of Morgan ton, the county metropolis of Burke. When the first survey was made, many of the farmers living along No. 18 north were left en tirely off the new road, but the farmers let it be known that they had rather have a few curves in the road, than to have it take an entirely new route, so the last survey w'hich follows in a general way the course of the present road, will likely be approved. The distance from Shelby to Toluca is approximately 20 miles and in all of this distance there is no hard grade, no bridge or stream of water to cross. And by fol lowing the ridge on which the old road is built, the expense of bridge work is saved. The engineers have been trying to eliminate the right angle curve at Monroe Wellmon's on the north eastern part of town so it is not known just what route will be taken to get out of Shelby, going north. Farmers living on highway No. 20, interested in the route that will most likely be used, can know what this route is with reference to their property, by noticing the surveyor’s stakes. No crops should be planted on this right-of-way, according to Mr. Kistler as he hopesvto get the construction con tract awarded at the June letting by the state highway commission. Newton Artists Sing To Kiwanians A musical program was given at the Kiwanis club Thursday night in observance of National Music week, the club being delighted with three gifted musicians from Ca tawba county, Mrs. Knox and Mis3 Horton of Newton and Professor Warlick of Conover. They were accojnpanied by Dr. and Mrs. J. A. Young of Newton, Dr. Young be ing a brother of Kiwanian C. S. Young of Shelby. Both Mrs. Knox and Miss Horton possess beautiful voices and gave a nqmber of de lightful vocal selections. Those who heard Miss Horton declare that she is a marvel for a girl so young and predict a career in Grand opera for her. She has plenty of volume, throws her very heart and soul into her singing and can take high notes like Marion Talley, the new star that recently arose on the horizon on opera. UNMENTIONABLES GET A COUPLE IN COUNTY COURT Recorder John P. Mull had quite a docket of town and county court today. Among the cases of interest taken up was that of a young mar ried couple charged with having something to do with annexing silk hosiery and other unmentionables of milady’s attire from another young lady in a home in which they were staying at the time ni a local mill village. The evidence appar ently was none too strong, or the charge not so serious, for the cost_. of the case was the total punish
