Police Head States That Dover Nogro Brawl Was Without His Knowledge Or Consent. A I. Richards, police chief of Shelby, made a statement to The Star Saturday in which he states that he hopes to clear up the erron eous reports made by some people that he. might have known some thing about the alleged assault on Frank Schenck. negro prisoner, oy former Policeman Fred Dover. "What Dover did was entirely without my knowledge and also in disobedience to my orders. "Before the trial I told Fred not to bring or return Schenck from jail, and also just as the hearing was continued Fred started to move and I told him to let Sparks take Schenck back. I was a witness hi the case being t: ied at the moment myself as was Policeman Poston. I intended for Policeman Sparks to take Solitude ‘xck but he appar ently understood that I meant for him to take all the prisoners back "I want the people to know that I give my officers instructions to treat all prisoners fairly, black, or white, and that X will not stand for anything else. I was in no way re sponsible for what occurred while Schenck was being taken back to jail and I regret to have erroneous reports made by some. If I could have controlled the situation it would never have happened. "In all my years of enforcing the law as an officer I have never been forced to strike a man but one time j and that was made necessary. What's more no officer is going to work under me and do so. As long as I am chief of police here I want to assure every citizen a fair deal from officers, and every prison; r in my custody, black or white, u going to be treated squarely. I be - lievc the majority of citizens know j this, but I want to make it plain to j those who talk otherwise. It is pos- | sible to enforce the law and enforce ! it without any unjust methods. It is | my duty to enforce the law and T shall continue to do so, but wu.i ; just consideration for those who violate it." Mrs. Guy E. Dixon Belwood Native Dies ! At Hendersonville Bffor..

Hares Eaeh Day at 2 O’cloek. At 8 o’clock in the morning, Tuesday, the Cleveland County Fair gates will swing open to what is expected to be a record crowd for the fourth annual county fair. The first day is “Educational Day” and the school children of six counties have been invited to attend free of charge. Just how many hundreds of school chil dren will pile in from adjoin* ing counties remains to be seen, but several thousand Cleveland children will be there for a cer tainty Year in and year out, for four years now. the county fair has eclipsed every other event for the people of this section. For two years attendance has passed that of the state fair, such has been the thronging in for a week of the farm folks of the Piedmont and Western sections of Carolina. This year fair officials look for a larger crowd than last year—their big basis for the expectation being that the fair itself is going to be larger and more attractive. Runs Five Days. After the big opening day ate four more days all filled with side line programs and the usual fair displays and gavety entertainment. On Saturday night just before mid night the gates will be closed on what is expected to be the biggest fair week of all. Johnny Jones Here. The Johnny Jones shows name in Saturday night and late Sunday night the big show began moving along Highway 20 to -he fair grounds. All night long curious and eager-eyed youngsters lined the roads late at night and early in the morning to watch the big trucks as they rumbled to the spot where the eyes of the county will center for a week. All the hotels are well filled with fair and show followers, visitors from other counties are in to spend a week-end and attend the fair. The Program Hours. Each day. Secretary Dorton stated today, the fair gates will open at 3 o'clock in the morning. The races will be each afternoon at 2 o'clock and the big fireworks program eacn evening at 7:30. Numerous out-of-town judges who will officiate in the various depart ments have arrived, or will arrive during the course of the day. From interest being shown today and the throngs of automobiles along Highway 20 to the fan grounds the fair is attracting more interest than ever before, except perhaps the first fair, four years ago. when fairs were unique here abouts. Secretary Dorton in a last minute statement to the people of Cleveland county said this morning: "I'm look ing for you. I believe, and I think you will agree, that we have a more a(.tractive fair, i bigger show, and a generally different event. There will be something of interest and of value to every member of the fam ily from the youngsters to the old folks. The races, the shows, and the big free atts are not the only things that will hold your attention. The booths, exhibits, livestock, poultry and farm show are just as good as any fair has and from one end o; the big fair grounds to the othe. there will be something to hold a crowd alt the time. Remember there is a place to leave the babies in safety, a rest room for the ladies. And come every day and night.” Sure, He Knows Liquor, For He’s Tasted It Often Witness Tells Recorder’s Court He Smelled Booze and That He Knew His "Cawn.” “Sure, I know it was whis key. I’ve taken many a drink myself. Oughtn’t I to know.?” That was the query a witness shot back at the solicitor in re corder’s court here last week. A young defendant was charg ed with having a bottle of whiskey and offering a drink to another boy, whose parents were witneses for the state. The above statement was made by the father of the boy. On the other hand the boy’s mother when asked by the solicitor if she knew it was whiskey ans wered “Of course, it was whis key. You know what whiskey is Mister, and so do 1.” I HONORED AT PILOT CONVEN TION. C. R. WEBB. C. R. Webb, local general agent ! for the Pilot Life Insurance com i pany. was made a charter member of the McAlister clan at the agency I convention of the company recently held in Quebec. Canada. Membtr I ship in the McAlister clan is based j on the continuous production of a I large volume of life insurance and ! a renewal ration considerab'y above | that of the average life underwriter ! To «vir. membership in this agency 01 ganization is considered the high est honor obtainable with the Pilot ! company. The McAlister clan creed as adoptee, and subscribed to by the chaiter members of the clan con tains the following paragraph re garding the responsibility of a life underwriter to his clients; "To my clients I owe unerring and unselfish counsel based on ex- j pert knowledge of insurance and the affairs of men. a sympathetic under standing of their problems and theii aspirations, and relentless zeal and pat'ent endeavor in my efforts to sell them adequate and intelligent protection. To my policyholders I owe my services at all times with out stint or thought of self. With a full realization that a lapsed policy is always an economic waste and too often is a cruel tragedy, I believe that if I contribute wilfully to that tragedy or waste through ignorance premeditation, or indifference I am unworthy of a place in the life un derwriting profession."

Seeking Red-Haired Man Here Over Pistol Battle With Charlotte Police Padgett Boys And Third Man Shoot It Out With Rural Police. Romeo Padgett And Policeman Mosely Said To Be Dying Allegations Made Against Red Newman, Who Has Proof Of Being At Home Here. Horace Moore, Charlotte detec tive, and rural policeman of Meck lenburg county at noon today car ried Roy "Red" Newman to Char lotte to investigate the statement that was made there alleging that he was connected with the gun bat tle between the Padgett brothers and rural policemen there this morning at 5 o'clock. As a result of the gun battle about dawn in a Charlotte residence Ru ral Policeman Henry Mosely is said to be near death and Romeo Pad gett, who formerly lived here, was said at 1 c’clock this afternoon not to have a chance Both are in a Charlotte hospital. The Garbled Story. First reports of the affair reach ed Shelby this morning when a tel ephone report was received to hold "Red" Newman, a sister of the Pad gett boys having told officers that the red-haired man at the shooting scene was Newman Later in the day Moore and the rural policeman came here to inves tigate and told details of the shoot ing. According to these men Chaney Padgett, youngest of the Padgett brothers all well known here, wr.s caught early in the morning neat Charlotte with 68 gallons of liquoi*' in his car. The officers making the arrest were Lacy Fesperman. Henry Mosely and Officer Goforth Padgett it is said, asked to be taken around to the home of Frank Jones, who married his sister, so that he might arrange bona. The officers carried Padgett around to the house and Fesperman and . Mosely went into the house with him, Goforth remain ing in the car.. Start Shooting1. Shortly after getting in the house, it was stated. Romeo Padgett, a brother of the arrested man. and a red-haired fellow shoved open n door and covered the two officers with their guns. Charley Padgett ai the same time, it was said jerked Policeman Fesperman's gun from its holster and hit the officer in the back of the head. Policeman Mos ley made for the door and was shot, the officers stated, once in the hip and again through the back by Romeo Padgett. Fesperman al though hit in the head crawled on to the door and hid behind a rose bush in the yard. By that time Po liceman Gqforth, in the car Outside, heard the shooting and started la the house. When Romed Padgett came to the door with the gun fol lowing Fesperman, Goforth shot him just under the heart, and as Charley Padgett struck his right, hand out the door with a gun ii. it Goforth blazed loose again and shot the gun out of his hand, wounding young Padgett in tin hand, it is thought. By the time aid arrived for Goforth, Charley Pad gett and the red-haired man had disappeared, leaving behind the wounded officer and Romeo Pad gett. A sister of the Padgetts, either Jones’ wife or another sister told the officers, they say, that the red haired man was “Red” Newman. Boys Were Here. When the officers came here Ip investigate the matter it was learn ed that all three of the Newman boys were at home here during die night and morning. “Red" it was shown was at his home at Cleve land Springs after church and r.” til 6:30 this morning. Mapes and Broadus, his two brothers, were a» the home of their mother this morning at 5 o’clock when the Charlotte gun battle took place, of ficers were told. After first going over the matter Officer Moore stated that he did not think Roy Newman was con nected with the affair and permit ted him to go back to work. Later after talking with several people the officer took Newman with him to Charlotte in the hope that when Officer Fesperman and others saw him that they would realize he was not the other man wanted and clear the matter up The impression here is that the name of the missing red-haireri man was given as Newman so a:, .to throw officers off the track and give the red'haired youth and Char ley Padgett ample time to escape. A great deal of excitement was evident about the city hall here .during the investigation by the city officers, although all indications were that neither one of the local boys was in Charlotte early in the morning. Romeo and Henry Padgett hav? both "done time," it is said, one oi them having been tried here a year or two ago over taking an automo bile belonging to Mr. J. J. Mc Murry. The fact that the Padgetts once lived here and attended schwa with the Newman boys offers the background for supposition that one of the Newmans was named so as to cover up the escaped pal. Both Living Then. Latest word from Charlotte short ly after noon was that both Police man Mosley and Romeo Padgett were still living. Mosely’s intestine? were punctured in 16 places and an operation was performed there this morning with the hope of saving his life. Padgett, it was stated at ru ral police headquarters at 1 o'clock was shot just under the heart and was then unconscious in the hos pital with officials saying there was very little chance for him to live. LOSEBlSlT ' 10 KINGS MT. IN Dempsey Backer Pulls Tunney Sup porter Over 13 Miles in Three Hours. A supporter of Jack Dempsey, who tried to comeback and get his heavy weight crown from Gene 1 unney paid his wager Saturday morning, when Everett Dellinger, young Shel by man, pulled "Buck" Bridges an other youth, to Kings Mountain in a j goat cart. Young Dellinger dragged the win- j ner over the 13 miles of pavement I in three hours and 48 minutes. Then after checking in at the Kings Moun tain city hall they loaded tne car: on a truck and came riding back to Shelby. Numerous photopraphs weie made en route showing the signs worn on the backs of the two youths. On Del linger’s back a sign Said “I bet or. Dempsey. I'm the goat.” Bridges' said “I took Tunney, and I ride.” Dellinger, as it happened, came neai to getting the ride than might be thought. He wagered the cart pulling that Dempsey would knock out Tunney by eight rounds. In any other state except Illinois, Dellin ger would have been riding with Bridges pulilng due to the count when Dempsey knocked Tunney down in the seventh. “The Buffalo hill was my Jonah.” Dellinger stated. “My neck and the calves of my legs are sore. Other wise I made the trip fine.” Inci dentally, Dellinger is a candidate for the Shelby High football team and weighing around 200 pounds the trip would have placed him in fair condition for the gridiron. The cart pulling procession follow ed by friends in cars left Shelby at 6:32 in the morning and arrived at Kings Mountain at 10:40.

Marshall Moore Is Asked To Resign Policeman’s Post ! Policeman Notified by Chief Rich ards That he has Been ‘T'n satisfactory” And So On. Patrolman Marshal Moore was asked by Chief of Police A. L. Rich ards to tender his resignation effec tive October 1st on the ground that his services are "not satisfactory," that he “stands around on streets too much and talks to people" and that he has been "criticising the ad ministration " Mr. Moore says he will not tender his resignation, but if he gets out. "they must put the rollers under me and roll me out ” The resignation was asked for Sunday and when Mr Moore was seen this morning he stated that he had remained about on the streets because when ha was hired he was asked not to stay around the city hall Mr Moore, it will be recalled is a candidate for sheriff to succeed Hugh Logan and the fact tha- he is running for office was given as an other reason by Chief Richards why he should not be allowed to remain on the city's police force. Mayor Disclaims Act. Mayor Dorsey when seen by The Star this morning verified the re port that Mr. Moore had been asked to resign but disclaimed any respon sibility for it. The mayor says that Moore was kepi on the force from the old administration upon his (the mayor's recommendation* and May or Dorsey says the matter of drop ping Moore was In the power of the chief who has been delegated the authority of "hiring and firing" his own men. umer Ktcnaros says Moore s serv ices have been unsatisfactory'' and that the matter lias been talked over ■with the mayor on several occasions and that the mayor consented. According to Marshall Moore there is another angle to the story. M.\ Moore says when he was notified to quit by the chief, that the cbiei I stated that objection had been made by the mayor and that the mayor wanted the chief to ask him to re sign last month, but the matter was deferred until now. Mr. Moore fur ther added that chief Richards told him that he (the chief) was will ing for him to continue, except for the objection on the part of the' mayor. It is known that Mr. Moore was recommended to Chief Richards by Mayor Dorsey and others. Moore was one of two former policemen kept over from the Weathers ad ministration, Patrolman McBridi Poston being the other. It was an nounced policy of Mayor Dorsey that the heads of the various de partments could “hire and fire” tnc men in their department, but Mayo. Dorsey reserved the right to ask the departmental heads to “fire” men whose services were not satisfactory. Mr. Moore seems undisturbed about the matter and declares that he will not hand In any resignation, but if “they want to get rid of me they can roll me out.” Modern Comforts Keep Women Young Even At 50 Years Dover Tells Rotary Club That Wo man of 50 Today Can Pass as Flapper Easily. “Back when I was a boy a wo man was old at 40 years due to the hard work she had to do without conveniences and mod ern household aids. Today with electric light, electric sweepers, electric washers, and scores of other conveniences, a woman may do her own work and pass for a flapper at 50 years,” John R. Dover told the Shelby Rotary club in a recent talk on the progress of conveniences on the farm. Not so many years ago he pointed out that the farm wife had to carry her water up a long hill from the spring, do her cooking with skillets and pans at the open fire place in which were suspended hooks from the chimney. Today it was shown that by merely pressing a but ton an electric stove would be ready for use. Mr. Dover's talk centered about the comforts that have come to this section through the extension of electric lines to farm homes—and, incidentally, one of the first electric lines to go out into a farm section was made possible by the speaker. Many people forget that only ma chines are automatic and that to pet results with human beings, co operation is necessary.

Exhibits of fruits were not as good as last year because of the shortage of the fruit crop, but by permission of the officials, some of last year’s fruit was added and al together the exhibit was a very cred itable one. In one room of the school build ing was seen the art exhibit whlcts included the art work of Mattie Leo Gardner who last year won first place in North Carolina in the Re habilitation Poster nation wide con test. In here were the drawings by the grades Including the paper me nagerie by the children in the pri mary.
