Cites Shelby Men As County Assets (Special to The Star.) Miss Winnie Blanton, of Shelby, ably represented Cleveland Coun ty at the chapel exercises of the Cullowhee State Normal school, where she is attending summer school, oh Wednesday morning. Students of the summer school j s poke concerning their various | counties and states. The School has drawn its attendance from forty ! nine counties and seven states, j The enrollment of the summer I school, which is 356, is the largest, in the history of the normal, and indicates the progress made since the recent program of enlarge ment was begun. Miss Blanton spoke as follows: “Cleveland county is noted for many things. Perhaps chief among the things of which she is proud i are her illustrious men such as, Hon. O. Max Gardner, future gov ernor of North Carolina; Hon. C.j R. Hoey, noted lawyer and orator; j Judge James L. Webb, the intro-1 ducer of prohibition in our state,! now Federal judge. A large per cent of the young ! people from Cleveland county make ; their way to school and colleges. ' We are the proud possessors of j ; eight accredited " high schools.! | Shelby, the county seat, has eight ■ elementary high schools. In the j I South Morgan elementary school | last year there were enrolled over i seven hundred pupils. Of this. | number forty-five were neither tardy nor absent for nine months.; “We rank first in dairying and ! first in rural electrification, fourth j in the production of cotton, and fourth in manufacturing. We have! six cotton cloth mills, one silk cloth | mill, one hosiery mill, two thread mills, one flour mill, two Coca Cola bottling companies, two ice plants, one ice cream company, one mattress manufacturing com pany. We have a tobacco plant that makes the widely known Hava-Rexa cigar, Shelby Straight,! and others. “Our Cleveland Springs Hotel is visited by people from all parts of the world, winter and summer. We : are the county of Mineral Springs,! the Gateway to Western North j Carolina.” Rutherford Wreck Talked In Observer . j Charlotte Observer. Dozens of cases of whole famil ies being wiped out “at the cross- j ing,” have been reported in the j newspapers during the course'?^ i the past year. So common has j fatality of this kind become that j it is presented as ordinary matter of news. Cases of single killings at the crossing are so frequent as to justify carrying the single head line. The public has become cal loused to affairs of the kind and reports of crossing accidents are of expectation, common events in the news of the day. And while automobile slaughter^haB"*' been steadily -apawadittS*'*over the coun try, the railroads have been mak ing progress in establishing com parative safety in travel on the rail. So infrequent has become ac cidents on the railroads which in volve loss of life, that an affair such as that reported on the South ern’s branch line, just west of Rutherfordton, is given as the startling news of the morning. As a matter of fact, this accident was the most distressing that has oc curred in this section since the Seaboard train went through the bridge over Indian Creek, near Lincolnton in the winter of 1880, in which there was much loss of life, including the burning to death of Shoe Drummer White, of Balti more, who was imprisoned in a burning coach. The Rutherfordton accident, however, was signalized by fatality to the crew—conductor, engineer, brakeman and flagman— all having perished, the lone sur vivor being a flagman who was stationed in the rear car. The Ttttle rond runs up from South Carolina by Blacksburg, through Shelby to Marion, and the affair spread a pall of gloom over the two states. Especially was one household bereft. On the ill-fated train was Lynch Weaver, a brakeman hur rying to his home in Rutherford county, where his family, one of the most prominent in the county, was preparing for a reunion on the morrow. The children of this fam ily are widely scattered over the country and at the time the young man went to his death in the accident, were on their several ways to the old home, in anticipa tion of the happy reunion, an event which had been quickly transformed into grief and lam entation. North CaroliiiiatiS Spend Big Sum For Luxuries Each Year—Tobacco Costly _... I- ---—— Charlotte.—A tidy sum of $56, 176,000 is spent by Tar Heels in a j /ear for luxuries. Figures for 1924, prepared by the research division of the Na- I tional Education association, show | that North Carolina ranks 26th among the 48 states of the Union in the amount of money expended for luxuries. And only $600 pre vents the realm of Tarheelin from occupying the next position, for Louisiana spends just $600 more than North Carolina. _ Tobacco reaps the highest har vest among Tar Heel spenders, and that is true for the other states, for in the entire United States, the $1,847,000,000 spent for tobacco tops the list for luxuries expenditures. While North Carolinians _ ard making purchases ot iouth3o1..o smoots in the form of high-priced candy, as well as the humbler sort, bought at the “five-and-ten,” they are spurning the little packages of chewing gum that made Wrigley and other manufacturers wea'^ and famous. The chewing gum item for North Carolina is the only one that falls below the $1 oov, 000 mark. In a year North Caro lina citizens buy $896,100 woi'tli of chewing gum. Maybe Tar Heels take their “chewing” in more manly form and make purchases of ‘chawing to bacco.” At any rate chewing to bacco has its share of the $19, 024, 100 spent for all forms of to bacco. Next to tobacco, North Caro linians spend more for theaters, movies, and similar amusements, which cost the state $9,620,200. Soft drinks and ice cream, aggre gating $8,446,000 in expenditure, come next in order. Candy occupies fourth place, with a total expenditure of $7, 096,700, follows i in order by jew elry with $4.6654*00, sporting goods, toys, etc. witn $4,439,300; perfumes and cosmetics with $2, 688.300, and chewing gam with $896100. The nation, in 1924, spent S5. 522.000,000 for luxuries. This was spent as follows Tobaccos, $1,847, toO.000: soft drinks and ice cream, $820,000,000; theaters and movies, $934,000,000; candy, $689,000,000; chewing gum, $87,000,000; jewelry $453,000,000; sporting goods and toys, $431,000,000 and perfumes and cosmetics, $261,000,000. Farmers of Vance county will make a tour through Western North Carolina, across into Jfobth Carolina and return back thrbugh the Sandhills during a trip be ginning the week of July 11. • BLUE LAW” GOVERNOR STOPS SUNDAY PARADES AT GUARD ENCAMPMENT (By International News Service.) Columbia, S. C.—Governor John G. Richards, South Carolina’s now famous ‘blue law” governor, has clamped his gubernatorial foot down on Sunday dress parades at Camp Jackson during tfie en campment of the South Carolina National Guard in July. ‘‘Dress parades on Sunday are not fair to the boys and they are a violation of the Sabbath,” said the Governor, whom a few months ago issued his edict banning the sale of gasoline, soft drinks and tobaccos in the Palmetto State on Sunday and prohibiting the play ing of sports. Absence makes the picture post cards accumulate. RICH NEW YORKER PAYS $150,000 FOR APARTMENT (By International News Service.) New York.—A mw record for realty transactions has been set up j here.
