Dr. Scarborough Who Comes to
Hold Meeting Here, one of
South’s Greatest Preachers.
Dr. L. R. Scarborough who ar
rives Saturday from Fort Worth,
Texas, to conduct the two weeks
open air revival on the vacant lot
adjacent the First Baptist church
was a cowboy in his youth' on the
plains of Texas and today he is
one of the ablest ministers in the
Southern Baptist convention. Not
only is he president of the most
largely attended theological sem
inary in the world, but he is an
author of many books, an exten
sive traveller, planned and headed
the Seventy-Million campaign a
number of years ago when the Bap
tists successfully completed the
greatest financial campaign the
denomination had ever undertaken.
Dr. Scarborough will do the
preaching, but the pastor Dr. Zeno
Wall will be busy from early
morning until late at night with<
various work concerning the meet
ing which he thinks will be the
greatest Shelby has ever had. An
orchestra under the direction of Dr
Plaster is in practice this week to
furnish music for the congregation
al singing. Music will be a great '
feature. Mr. Harry Pippin, assist
ant pastor expects to have 200
trained voices in the choir. Night
after night the congregations from
suburban and rural churches will
be invited to attend the services in
a body and the best musical talent
will be brought along.
Services will’be held twice daiiy
9 a. m. in the church and 7:30 p.
m in the open air. A preliminary
song service will be held beginning
at 1 o’clock.
The story oi ur. ocaroorougn s
life is contained in a book entitled
“'l he House that Was Never Built.’
As a cowboy, Lee Scarborough was
a strapping youth who could bring
the wildest steer to his knees by
his accurate throwing of the lariat.
He decided to study law and after
preparation, went to a big Eastern
university. In his second year he
decided to change and study the
ministry. His father was an early
Baptist minister and naturally the
pantry was always low and money
was scarce. His saintly mother had
always prayed that Lee might be
used by the Master in some great
way. The humble parents had a
great ambition to own a home and
had saved consistently every cent
they could lay aside, ^Vhen Lee de- j
cided to study for the ministry, the
question of money arose. The hum
ble parents couldn’t send him to
college without depriving themsel
ves of a lifetime ambition to own
a home, but after a season of pray
er they decided to give up the home
and soent their money on Lee’s
education. There was great joy in
the hearts of the faithful old Bap-j
tist minister and his wife when
Lee preached his first sermon et
Dallas and it didn’t hurt the “old
man’s’ feelings one bit wnen he
overheard a listener in the pew be
hind him say, “Lee’s a beating his
old daddy a’ready.” The house was
never built, but Lee was a greater
pride of the parents before many
years.
got only one, but Mr. McSwain had
other ideas. The colored man s
plea was that the chickens came a
visiting his chickens and that he
unintentionally ran them all in to
gether—whereupon Judge Mull
“cooped” him for something like
120 warm, summer days.
At the same session of court
Willie Proctor, negro hotel em
ploye, was fined $50 and the costs
for manipulating an auto while
somewhat “stewed” according to
the officers. Willie received a gash
in his head that necessitated sev
eral stitches from a sewing circle
of surgeons at the hospital.
MOHOm
MAY BE III IS
COUNTY: HUT HI
Burke Posse Now Searching South
Mountain Territory. Negro
At Depot Suspected.
With wide interest here al
ready in the search for Broad
us Miller, negro alleged to
have fatally attacked Gladys
Kincaid, young Morganton girl
Tuesday evening, more atten
tion was centered on this sec
tion today when reports had it
that the negro was thought by
some to have made his way in
to this county.
Numerous rumors have cir
culated about two reports of
the search. One is that a trail
thought c|efinHe wbm picked
up yesterday evening in the
Woodberry section south of
Morganton, the opinion being
that he was working his way
into the South Mountains of
this county with the idea per
haps of making South Caro
lina. The other report centered
around a negro who appeared
at the Southern station here
early this morning and asked
about a ticket to Blacksburg.
A short time after the negro
left the station Vernon Proc
tor, the agent, bs.w the photo
of Miller in a morning paper
and told officers, they say, that
as he remembered the negro at
the window there was a close
resemblance to the photo.
Not Caught Yet.
Telephone communication -vyith
Miss Beatrice Cobb, Morganton edi
tor, at 1 o’clock brought the word
that no capture had been made up
to that hour. Miss Cobb stated that
in her opinion the clue in the Wood
berry section was the most defin
ite yet and expressed the added
view of some Morganton folks that
Miller remained in the town Tues
day night and may be trying to slip
through the mountains of north
Cleveland. ,
Whether or not Miller could
have made the trip through the
mountains and to the Southern
station here early this morning is
not known.
The negro asking about the tick
et to Blacksburg did not buy one,
apparently not having the neces
sary 50 cents—and Miller is said
to be without funds. Working on
the clue that the negro appearing
at the station when no one else
was there but tha agent might he
the hunted man several officers and
others have been instigating a
search of the section towards Earl
and the South Carolina line, Miller
being originally from South Car
olina.
At 1 o’clock this afternoon there
was nothing more definite known.
It is said that local negroes will
report to officers if a strange
negro should show up in the town
or nearby section.
Another rumor that would con
nect the hiding man with this sec
tion is that the man with whom he
boarded in Morganton has a broth
er, or close relative, in or near
Shelby.
No Mob in Burke.
Miss Cobb expressed resentment
that the report seems to have
spread having it that Morganton
was filled with a mob and a near
race disturbance.
“There is nothing like that here,’
she said. “We haven’t anything like
a mob and the colored people here
are just as interested in having the
guilty man caught as the white
people. The excitement here is no
more out of the bounds of the law
than it is at Shelby, Hickory, or
any other nearby town. I do not
believe,” she added, “that it would
be the best to lodge him in jail here
when captured, but I believe the
majority of the people want the
law to take its course.. Of course
they are highly interested in get
ting him caught so that the law
'may punish him, and they are in
censes over the crime—but there
isn’t any mob in Morganton.”
It was stated that the man with
whom Miller lodged is in jail in
another town—maybe Shelby, Hick
ory, Asheville, or who knows?—
but in the opinion of Miss Cobb
he knows nothing of the crime, or
of Miller, merely becoming scared
so that he got tangled up in ans
wering questions.

Cotton Does Not Need Stressing;
Hardin Urges Chicks, Hogs, Cattle
Alvin Hardin, county farm agent
says he has not found it necessary
to urge the production of more cot
ton in Cleveland county. While th ■
price has been low Mr. Hardin has
been stressing chickens, dairy ca*
tle, hogs and feed crops and there
has been considerable improve
ment in these products. He was
speaking before the Kiwanis club
Thursday night at Cleveland
Springs and added that “we use
enough cotton to produce from a
bale to a bale and a half to the
acre. What is needed most is water
in the soil and to retain the mois
ture we need organic matter in the
soil to loosen it up and give it
greater water holing (capacity.
Last year’s1 cotton crop was the
largest on record. If necessary
Cleveland could double that crop
and the outlook is so favorable this
year that we ought to make from
6.000 to 8,000 more bales than lest
year with favorable season and no
storm or weevil damage.”
Ship 64,000 Lbs. Poultry.
Since the first of the year the
county has shipped 64,000 pounds
of poultry which does not include
the amount consumed at home and
sold to near-by markets. Egg pro
duction has also increase. In the
matter of hogs, Cleveland Imported
10.000 shoats last year and receiv
ed very poor grades at that. A
better grade would have yielded
more meat.
In the matter of marketing Mr.
Hardin asked the co-operation of
the merchants and business men.
Farmers are discouraged when they*
grow products for market and find
the merchant offering them less
than they are paying for beans,
tomatoes and chickens from the
outside.
When a poultry car runs through
some merchants drop their prices
to the car prices as soon as an
nounced. “This is not fair, declar-,
ed Mr. Hardin. The car sets a
slightly lower price because it
takes good, bad and indifferent
birds ail at the same price and in
any quantity1. .• Merchants have a
right to choose only first-class
birds and should pay the top price.
Farmers are known to have been
offered 8c for beans when mer
chants were paying 12c for shipped
beans. If our farmers and our coun
ty are to prosper, top prices should
always prevail for home grown pro
ducts.”
Speaking of cattle Mr. Hardin
cited that the vealing of young
heifers has caused good dairy cat
tle to go higher. A good dairy cow
now will brnig from $100 to $150
because we have allowed the your.g
heifers to be vealed. Pasturing
young heifers should be much more
profitable than feeding beef cattle
and Mr. Hardin suggested that
tarmers give some attention to
this as a money making proposi
tion.
STREET SWEEPER
IN ACTION TODAY
ASTOWNSURPRISE
Administration Springs a Surprise
And Rolls Out Swwpor Or
dered Two Weeks Ago.
Shelby got a surprise this morn
ing when a new automatic street
sweeper rolled down the streets.
It was rumored that the city offi
cials had a "surprise" for Shelby
and many guesses. ill and good,
were made. The surprise to the
citizenry is a motor driven street
sweeper bought at a cost of ap
proximately $6,000, the purchase
being kept a secret from the pub
lic.
The sweeper was unloaded at the
railway station this morning and
demonstrated by the factory re
presentative Mr. K. C. Eller, of
Statesville, who came here to set
it in motion and teach the driver
its operation. It is a late model
Elgin, No. 600, meaning the 600th
machine turned out by the fac
tory. A picture of Shelby's ma
chine is appearing on the cover
page of the current issue of a
magazine entitled “The Street
Sweeper.”
According to Mr. Eller the new
sweeper has several revolving
brushes. A tank of water mounted
on the motor frame, sprinkles the
pavement to prevent dust arising.
One upright brush scours the
surface of the pavement, throws
dirt in front of a vertical brush
which sweeps it to an elevator.
This elevator carries the trash to
a reservoir which holds two and
a half yards. When the reservoir
is full, the load is emptied.
Mr. Eller says the machine can
be operated at a cost of $45 per
week including driver. Mayor Dor
sey says it will be a great saving,
to the town financially in that five
street cleaning hands can be eli
minated.
All paved streets in the city
, will be cleaned by this sweeper.
Aunt May Have Hit
Girl In Head With
Axe During Brawl
Deputy Greet Ware stated here
today that G. H. Bryson and Mrs.
Ollie Cook are still being held in
the York (S. C.,) jail in connection
with the drunken brawl Sunday a
week ago in the battleground sec
tion below Kings Mountain.
Bryson, it will be remembered
was shot in the foot and also bruis
ed about the head with an axe,
his assailants being Mrs. Cook, a
sister-in-law, and her husband. Bry
son’s 10-year-old daughter received
a fractured skull in the melee and
has been in a serious condition
since. Bond has not been allowed
Bryson or Mrs. Cook pending the
little girl’s condition.
Two stories of how the small
child was injured were told. One
was that a rock thrown by her
father at Cook struck her head and
almost fatally injured her. The
other story was that Mrs. Cook got
an axe and was aiding her husband
in beating up Bryson and that the
little girl stepped between her
father and the woman and wr3
struck in the head by the axe.
Deputy Ware stated today that
physicians were inclined to believe
that from the nature of the wound
the blow was struck with an avc.

Digest Of State Traffic
Laws Effective July 1st
Drunken Driver* On Second Of
fense Must Face Jail—Laws
Of Heckles* Driving.
While the maximum speed limit
for motor vehicles is raised in non
congested sections to 45 miles an
hour on and after July 1st, there
are certain traffic regulations
which every motorist should know.
County Solicitor P. Cleveland
Gardner has kindly prepared for
The Star some of the most out
standing regulations and The Star
lakes pleasure in publishing them
for the information and benefit of
its readers.
The uniform act regulating the
operation of vehicles on highways
take effect from and after June
30th, Thursday of next week. The
act in full consists of 24 pages of
“the most complicated and detail
ed traffic law ever written by any
state.” To curb drunken drivers,
the second offense is made pun
ishable by Imprisonment of not
less than 90 days or a fine of not
more than $1,000 and the court
cannot “suspend judgment upon
payment of costs” which is a fav
orite judgment in some courts.
Here are the more important
sections taken from Public Laws of
North Carolina Chapter 148:
Art. 2, sec 2: It shall be unlawful
and punishable as provided in
section fifty-nine of this act for
any person whether licensed or
not who is an habitual user of nar
cotic drugs or any person who is
under the influence of intoxicating
liquor or narcotic drugs to drive
any vehicle upon the highway
CHIEF EXPLAINS
FI SUMS OF
BlaMta Will be Sounded to Denote
Wnrd Where Blase la. To
Sound Siren at Noon.
A simplified code for the new
fire siren, atop the city water tank,
was explained here this morning
by Fire Chief E. B. Roach. The si
ren will be so operated that it will
warn of all fires and also inform
the city just what ward the fire is
in.
When a fire alarm one blast from
the siren will be the general alarm.
Following this there will be a se
ries of blasts to denote which ward
the fire is in.
The ward fire numbers are:
Ward one,12; Ward two, 13; Ward
three, 14; Ward four, 16.
The numbers are explained as
follows: After the first general
alarm blast there will be one long
and two short toots indicating ward
one. The first figure of each ward
number is for the long blast and
the second figure for the short
toots. For instance, Ward two will
be indicated by one long blast and
three short ones, or 1-3. Ward
three will be sounded, after the gen
eral alarm, with one long one and
four short ones, or 1-4. Ward four
will be one long one and five short
ones, or 1-5.
Code No. 22 for second truck will
use the same location blasts.
One short blast after the general
alarm will indicate that the fir* is
ont.
> A blast will be sounded at IS
o’clock, noon, each week day.
In explaining the fire siren code
Chief Roach added: “All automo
biles and other vehicles are to pull
into the curb and stand for five
minutes when the fire alarm is
sounded. Any person getting in the
way of fire equipment or the fire
men will be subject to a fine. Cars
should not be parked in front of
fire hydrants, or obstruct them in
and manner. Those obstructing the
way to a hydrant will also be sub
ject to a fine. Automobiles, or oth
er vehicles, must not enter the
block in which a fire is located.
Those driving over a fire hose at
any time without proper authority
are subject to fines. The public may
help the fire department, and all
of Shelby, in two ways: First, by
preventing fires when possible.
Second by keeping out of the way
of fire equipment and firemen. Let
us establish a low fire loss record
for Shelby.”
