Mrs. Willis and Townsend Not
Placed on Stand. Halt By De
fense is Surprise.
Greenville, Sept. 6.—Just when;
it was beginning to look as though j
the trial of Mrs. Ethel Willis and:
Henry S. Townsend might be pro-j
longed for an indefinite period, the
defense sprung the biggest sur
prise of the season and closed j
without placing either of the de-i
fendants on the witness stand. j
So unexpected was the announce:
went by Colonel Alvin H. Dean ,
that the prosecution had to request
of Judg" M. L. Bonham an adjourn- j
ment, although the time was slight j
!y after 5 p. m. and court does not;
customarily adjourn until 6.
Judge Mendel L. Smith, who has I
been directing the prosecution,!
promised that the state would not!
consume more than an hour in its
rebuttal, which means that the at
torneys will begin making their
arguments tomorrow and also
Keans that the case will probably;
go to the jury some time Thursday.
Mrs. Willis and former Deputy
Sheriff Townsend, are charged with
the murder of Mrs. Willis Husband
Sheriff Sam D. Willis. The Sheriff
was killed a few moments before
midnight on June 11 as he stepped
from the door of his garage.

First Bale Of Cotton
Ginned And Sold In
County Tuesday Morn
The cotton ginning season
has arrived early this year in
Cleveland county. The first
county baje of cotton was gin
ned and sold yesterday, Tues
day morning at Boiling
Springs,, The Star learns.
The bale came from the farm
of R. B. Patrick, well known
farmer of the Sharon section,
and was ginned by C. J. Ham
rick and Sons at Boiling
Springs.
The bale weighed 477 pounds
and sold to the Hamricks for
21 1-2 cents per pound, the seed
bringing 50 rents per bushel.
The ‘first bale’ was later
brought to Shelby and deliver
ed for manufacture at the Ora
mill._x___
The total receipts for the
first bale easily passed the
$100 mark and Mr. Patrick, it
is said, remarked that getting
more 'than $100 for a bale of
cotton produced a better feel
ing than that coming from $50
bales last year. Mr. Patrick is
an energetic farmer and had
one of the first bales to he gin
ned in the county last year.

He-e’s Good News,
Square Fountain
Getting Water Up
The court square fountain, an
oasis at times for the thirsty ar.d
a dry pond of desolation at other
periods, is operating about the
best ever now, according to scores
of people who have noticed a
change in the water flow at the
city fountain.
Investigation revealed that the
motor used to pump the water to
the “bubblers” has been changed by
City Electrician Gordon. The pres
ent motor, which supplanted the
one “burned out", is to be used
temporarily while a newer and
stronger motor is ordered. The old
motor, it is said, was just too light
to stand up for any length of time
and give the proper amount of
pressure. Mayor Dorsey stated
yesterday that the fountain condi
tion, which has been a source of
some complaint among the thirsty,
would have been remedied long ago
if he had known it was up to the
city. When informed that the
county built the fountain and the
city was to keep it up the Mayor
says the city electrician got to
work immediately.

FORMER ALDERMAN
EXPLAINS TUX ON
DOGS IN SHELBY
Hamrick Says City Dog Tax Never
Repealed But Not Enforced
Since State Tax Law.
“You gotta quit kicking iny
dawjr around”—no doubt the bard
who wrote the once popular ditty
never fully realized just how much
a community could be stiri'ed up
over its canines.
Not long since city officials dis
covered that the city code of 1921
called for a tax on all dogs In
Shelby and having sworn to en
force the city laws officials set
about doing so. Soon there arose
a complaint from some dog owners
that the dog tax law of the city had
been repealed and much interest has
been taken in the discussion. How
ever none of the talk has been offi
cial for present city officers cannot
find it written anywhere that tha
tax regulations are not to be en
forced.
Today, The Star received a com
munication from T. W. Hamrick, an
ex-alderman who served for years
on the municipal board, and Mr.
Hamrick states that the dog tax
law in the city was never repealed,
not formally at least. He further
explains that the idea of the city
law was to get rid of many worth
less dogs and that it did so. Later
the state legislature made all dogs
taxable property and the adminis
tration of that time considered
that the state law would accomplish
the aims of the city law and there
after enforcement of the city dog
tax was not pushed. The law how
ever was not removed from the
hooks, he says, because it might
be needed again.
Continuing the former alderman
expresses the opinion that a new
City Code should be drawn up so
as to be modern enough to simplify
all city laws and matter pertaining
thereto. . . *
He writes:
Editor of The Star:
In regard to the city dog tax law
that you inquired about, will say
that it has never been repealed
since its adoption in 1921, and the
i reason for its adoption was not for
revenue, but to do away with hun
1 dreds of worthless dogs running
wild over the streets, and we felt
; that any dog whose owner was not
| willing to pay a tax of $2 was lit
I tie, if any value. We enforced the
law for two or three years, which
I did away with most of the useless
| dogs, but when the legislature
; made them taxable property, we
ceased to enforce it—as we felt
jthat its usefulness was over. How
! ever the lajv was not repealed, be
j cause we felt that a time might
I come when the city would need to
enforce it again.
I ‘I’ll take this opportunity of say
| ing a few words in regard to the
i present city code—which I person
| ally got up and had printed in 1921,
! and it is the only City Code Shelby
ever had in book form. Since that
j time circumstances have changed,
the town has grown to four times
the size it was then—many of the
laws are obsolete and dozens of
laws have been passed and entered
on the minutes, that the code does
| not contain, and they of course have
; been lost sight of.
i Shelby needs a new City Code
very badly. A code gotten up by
the city attorney and one that cori
! forms with the state laws. It will
! take considerable time and thought,
and should be based on the average
( codes used by similar size towns,
so that we won’t be out of harmony
with the rest of the world.

Arithmetic Over

The multiplication table and
fractions were worked in 1822 just
I as they are in 1927. The proof is

DELEGATION ASKS
BRIDGE FOR ELLIS
FERRY OF COONTY
(ommisNioncrs Estimating Cost.
Group Says State Isn’t Go
ing to Help Now.
A bridge across Broad river at
Kllis ferry, connecting Cleveland t
county with South Carolina, was
asked of the county commissionera
here this week by a delegation from '
that section,t which is on the line
of Nog 1 and 3 townships.
The county board, according to
Chairman A. E. Cline, is taking
the matter under advisement and
will estimate probable cost and oth- ’
er items.
The delegation appearing before
the board brought to the limelight
again a question that has been up
in that section for numerous years.
The people of the Ellis Ferry sec
tion feel that they are entitled to
such a bridge connection and have
sought it for a long time.
Letter From Kistler.
Some time back the petition for
a county brides was temporarily
pigeon-holed, it is said, with tho
hope that work on Highway 18
from Shelby to the South Carolina
line would mean the building of a
bridge by the state. Bht members
of the bridge delegation told the
board, it is said, that they had re
ceived a letter from Commissioner
Kistler, of this road district, stat
ing no road work on Highway 18
south of Shelby would be taken up
this year. Whereupon the people
of the section gave up hope for ac
tivity in that direction and turned
again to the county bridge hope.
The petiitoners did not seem so
anxious as to the type of the bridge,
it was said, but wanted a bridge.
May Mean Bonds.
Unofficially it is learned at the
court house that there is a senti
ment for building the bridge in of
ficial circles, but that the financ
ing of .the project offers a rebuff.
From the section about the county
accountant’s office it is heard that
1 the building of Ellis Ferry bridge
would mean a bond issue, and the
bond issue in turn might mean
pushing up the county tax rate.
The feeling is that the bugaboo
of hoisting the tax rate is enough
to make the commissioners swallow
bridge. Yet, it comes from pretty
reliable sources that the commis
sioners would not hesitate to build
the bridge if county finances Would
take care of the job withotit addi
tional income.
And it is under that phase the pe
tition awaits. What the board will
say after "taking the matter under
advisement.”
Two Captains Will
Train High Here
The Shelby High baseball team
next spring promises to set a re
cord in the matter of coaches. It
was learned here today that the
Highs will be coached in baseball
by two former Carolina University
captains, “Casey" Morris and ‘Hat’
Hatley. *
Hatley, University captain last
year, is one of the new members of
the Shelby school faculty and in
addition to teaching history it is
said he will help coach baseball and
also assist Professor Sinclair with
the orchestra, being a musician of
some note. In football Coach Mor
ris will be assisted by Tilden Falls,
new science teacher, who coached
last year at Lattimore. Hatley,
who played summer ball last year
at Concord, performed this summer
in Florida.
