The new state wide county bud get and accountant plan is offering problems for Cleveland county of ficials. The plan, which goes into effect with the first of the new business year, July l, requires a full time combination countv ac countant and purchasing agent and a complete budget system of fi nance. A. E. Cline chairman of the coun ty commissioners, is now devoting considerable time to arranging an outline budget which must be sub mitted by July 1. In the interim Mr. Cline is acting as county ac countant by appointment of the commissioners, Mr. Cline, despite the insistence of numerous citi zens and leaders, has not decided whether or not he will remain as county accountant after the system is in working order. Us* Budget Now. Although there is considerable trouble in arranging an exact bud. get the system will not prove so hard in this county as the commis sioners two years ago began to use a similar budget plan. By the state-wide budget plan every county must at the begin ning of the year submit a budget with appropriations for the vari ous departments of county govern ment. Thereafter all purchases and sales will be made through the county accountant, or purchasing agent, nothing being purchased or handled without his endorsement. The plan is similar to the county government reform advocated for several years. Counties where the system is already in use find that i the accountant’s job is a full time] affair necessitating the aid of a , bookkeeper. Lack Office Space. Details of the new plan have not been worked out by the commis- j sioners, Messrs. Cline, R. L. Weath ers and W. W'. Washburn, but pre liminary plans are being made. In the panning the commissioners are at loss to know where office space in the court house may be found for the accountant’s office. Every available office in the build ing is now in use and the commis sioners may find it necessary to use the present ladies rest room for the office of the new county business head. Mr. Cline was consulting county and city officials here this week to see if other arrangements could be made for a rest room should it1 be decided that the office space is needed. The matter of salary for the county accountant is left up to the j commissioners and Mr. Cline say3 j that until the begining of the new | year he is finding out as much, about the new system as possible.; When definite plans are made the salary of the new county official will be taken up. It seems a rath-j er general opinion that the corn-! mission chairman is the man for; the place at least for the first ] year or so of the budget system as it is thought that someone fam iliar with county affairs, as well as a good business man, should have charge of the important of fice. Blacksburg Store Of Goode Robbed Gaffney, May 19.—Burglars rob bed the store of G. Lee Goode at Blacksburg early yesterday morn ing of $200 to $300 worth of men’s clothing, women’s silk hosiery, a quantity of dress goods, several ( suit cases, and other articles, ac-, cording to reports received here. Entrance to Mr. Goode’s store appeared to have been made by prizing off the bars and break ing the glass in the window in the rear of the building. The burglars left by the door, having opened it from the inside. That the robbery was carefully planned in advance was evidenced by the fact that night Policeman Childers was lured away from the vicinity by a false telephone mes sage asking him to hasten to the Broad River Mills, where he was told some hoboes were creating a disturbance on the tracks of the i Southern railway near the mill ' Mr. Childers answered the call, promptly, and it was while he was attending to this duty that the ( robbery was accomplished. Mr. Goode, it was learned, had recently dropped a burglary insur ance policy that he had been car rying for some time. He allowed the policy to lapse at its expira tion because he felt that the prem ium was too high, it was stated. Mr. Goode’s store was robbed a year or two ago when a series of burglaries occurred in Blacksburg. Friday 20th It Bad Hanging Day Watch your step in Shelby today and don’t get a rope about your neck! According to several old timers Friday, May 20t>h, was once known an “hanging day” hereabouts. Although a check op of old Superior court rec ords failed to reveal definite information, Mr. J. A. Wilson says that as he remembers it somebody was hanged here on May 20. 1900. and that 27 yearn prior to that, or May 20, 1873, there was another hang ing. By simple arithmetic 27 years elapsed between the two hangings, and 27 years has elapsed since the one in 1000 —and it’s May 20th again. Thus far today no hangings have been reported to sustain the record of one every 27 years on today’s date. Roberta and Evans, local con tractors, began work this week on the new $15,000 golf club house at Cleveland Springs.

GEN. COX PRAISES "State Produced no Finer Soldier or Citizen Than Late Colonel Gardner.” Big Meeting. Brigadier General Albert Cox brought forth a round of applause Thursday night when he declared the late Co). J. T. Gardner whom he had served with on the Mexican border and on other occasions was “as fine a soldier and citizen as North Carolina has ever produced.” General Cox was speaking at a joint meeting of Kiwanis members and local legionaires,, 126 in num ber at Cleveland Springs hotel on the occasion of memorial for the late war veterans. He hud praise for Pat McBrayer with whom he had served at Camp Seevicr, for Max Gardner, a college mate and friend who aspires toNt>e known as the “friendly governor” if he is elevated to the chief executive’s chair in North Carolina. General Cox is a soldier and statesman, one of the edming men of North Carolina, declared Max Gardner in his introduction. Mr. Gardner recalled that General Cox with a splendid war record to his credit, resigned from the Supreme court bench in North Carolina when this country entered the world war and organized an artil lery unit, functioned faithfully at home and abroad and ,was made brigadier general of the reserve corps when he returned. Tribute to La>Fayette. The occasion marked the anni versary of the birth of the Marquis DeLaFayette who left comfort and position in France and came to America in the time of our revolu tion to help us gain independence, so General Cox declared it to be a fitting occasion to pay a tribute to the American soldiery who help- „ ed France and the other allied na tions in the recent world war. War is horrible and General Cox upheld the preachments against war, saying no one wanted war but the profiteer. Especially it is de spised by men who have gone through one on the battle front and have experienced its horrors. Tribute was made to the men who offered their services in the big conflict, many of whom came home wrecked in physical strength and torn asunder in mental power. “We think of them as well as those who never returned, but lie in Franco to enshrine the battlefields of Eu rope with noble sentiments,” de clared General Cox. Our leadership in industry and our vigor in North Carolina places great responsibilities and duties upon us and General Cox said no county in North Carolina is meas uring up so well in citizenship as Cleveland. Our forces in the World war wore known as American expeditionary forces, but it meant more than that. The A meant accomplishment and ambition, the E effort and endeav or, the F fortitude and faith and each bf these virtues were applied in a beautiful and telling way to the soldiery of America. Musical selections were rendered by Miss Ann Adams with Mus Howie accompanist, Legionaires, Kiwanians joined in on the chorus of “Keep the Home Fires Burn ing.” Child Gets Serious Injury At Play Forrest Carroll, four year old child of Mooresboro Is a patient in the Shelby hospital with a seri ous internal injury, sustained while the child was at play.
