Few Arrests Made
At County Event
,0«iv six Jailed up to Thursday.
Sheriff Considers Johnny
Jones Fine Show.
The county hotel, maintained as
a jail, hasn't its usual impressive
West list for fair week.
Sheriff Hugh Logan stated yes
■wday that so far only six people
had been locked up due to misbe
havior at the fair grounds. The
small number jailed is unusual con
Jjdering that close to 50,000 people
have been on the fair grounds in
me time that only a half dozen
have been arrested.
In addition to noting the small
number locked up Sheriff Logan
“ys he considers the Johnny J.
J»ne.s Southern Exposition shov/
*nd midway as the cleanest to
|"ht>it in this section. "I have not
had a single , report of alleged
Jj’noked work, and usually when
here is a big show about I have

Farmers Cop Prises.
The white soil section of Cleve
land county between Shelby and
[ Kings Mountain captured two of the
1 mast coveted prizes in the agricul
; tural hall at the county fair. The
fair spirit prevails in that section
of the county where the Bethlehem
community fair was held for a num
ber of years and the people plant
and plan in advance in older to
show the very best products.
Bethlehem Booth Wins.
Bethlehem community booth won
first prize for booths and Mr.
George Goforth took first honors
for the best individual farm ex
hibit Mr. Goforth is about 15 years
of age and selected his seed in the
early spring in older that he might
have a creditable exhibit. This is
the first time he has entered so
without experience in affairs of t
fair he walked away with first prize
Coran Campbell of the Polkville sec
tion who always offers a lesson in
diversified farming won second
prize.
Following Bethlehem which won
first place in the community
booth1:. Lattimore ran a close sec
ond, Waco third, Fallston fourth
! and St. Paul fifth.
The Antiques Good.
Entering the building from the
south, The Star's gaze first feil
vpon the arts and crafts depart
ment. The entries are not as many
as heretofore in some cases, but
there is a greater variety. Anti
ques are very interesting, displayed
around a huge old-fashioned, opoa
fire place as before. Here are dis
played old English china and brass
and early American china and
brass. The judge Mr Hawks of
Asheville who ns somewhat of an
authority on antiques was pa-tlci.-'
larly impressed with a set of o'd
“hand-made cane-mill rolers. a Revo
lutionary war musket. in a fine
■ state of preservation, belonging to
B. S. Mauney ol R-6 Shelby An
other Interesting relic is a hand
painted table oil cloth over a cen
tury old.
Candy, cakes, pastry and otnir
pantry supplies occupy another
booth and of course make a tooth
s'me impression upon all visitors.
Vegetable Spark Plug.
Boiling Springs woman's club
booth won first prize in this cla»3
of exhibits, the theme in the dis
pl iy lyung a i-vid portrayal of what
the us? of cotton means to the
South. Shelby Woman's club totV
second prize in this claas.
Old ladies surpassed themselves
this year. All ladies over fifty fun .

The birl's club booth Is very at
tiact'ivcly dhp'eyed with a boo*h

"Spark Plug" demands attention in
home demonstration club work
Sparky is made up of fresh vege
tables and Is a. perfect reproduc
tion cf the famous u.i.iic character,
carrying the messages that urges all
to have Sparky on the table »o
bring better health.
Kings Mountain School Wins.
The school booth representing
consolidated schools of the county
is another interesting sight. Across
the front the eight months school
term in all rural sections is urged.
In one comer is a map of the
county, showing all roads, schools
and streams. Kings Mouniai-i
won sweepstakes on all school pro
ject work, the project in science
being declared exceptionally good
by the judges.
First prize for the most attractive
sign was awarded to the Cleveland
county consolidated school bootn
where the Grover school had spell
ed in huge letters made from school
supplies, the words “Cleveland Con
solidated schools”. The First Na
tional bank won second on signs
and the pantry department third in
this award.
Most Attractive Dooms.
Prizes were given for the most at
tractive booths in both the exhibit
and the manufacturers buildings. In
the exhibit building Bethlehem
won first, the consolidated schools
second. Boiling Springs third, wo
man's club projects fourth. In the
manufacturers building the Atwater
Kent radio display by the Mauney
Auto Parts Co., won first, First Na
tional bank second. Oldsmobile sold
by Haw-kins Brothers third and I.
G. Watson tin shop fourth.
Never has there been seen at a
county fair such an array of beau
tiful flowers and greenery. One solid
corner in the exhibit building is
filled with plants.
Ample Corn and Hay.
Boyd Harrelson in charge of the
field crops declares the corn exhibit
this year has had no equal. There
is three times as much as last year
and the display is much more at
tractive. In spite of the insect dam
age, frost, etc., the fruits and veg
etables are very creditable. The
beautiful display of Niagara and
seedless grapes grown by Dr. E. W.
Gibbs of Shelby occupied their usual
place in the center of the display.
Dr. Gibbs is considered an expert
in grape culture and always wins
first in this class.
A special building will be neces
sary to house the hay entries if
they continue to grow' and improve
as they have this year, says Mr.
Harrelson. All of the exhibits sucn
as garden truck, field crops, hays,
cotton, etc., occupy the center aisle
and are well above the average.
f ine Housekeepers.
"There were never such house
keepers as are found in the Bethle
hem community," said one in au
thority as she looked on the Beth
lehem women's display. “Neatness
is personified in every article," she
added. The handwork this year is
of a more practical value and of a
better quality.
Canned fruits. Why with such t
poor fruit year, one would think
this exhibit would be flat, but the
women have an excellent exhibit.
They have borrowed, bought beg
ged or found a little here and there
to make a wonderful exhibit in
spite of the fruit shortage.

A1 Smith Would
Wreck South Is
Simmon’s View
Senior North Carolina Senator
Comes Out Against New York
Man For President.
New Bern,—United States Sen
I ator F. M. Simmons declared
here Wednesday night that he
was decidedly opposed to the
presidential candidacy of Gov
ernor Alfred E. Smith of New
i York. His nomination would
have the effect of bringing po
litical disaster to several South
ern states, including North Car
olina, the senior North Carolina
senator asserted.
Senator Simmons' opposition
to Governor Smith is based
upon the ground of Smith's
uhavailibility as a candidate
and his firm belief that Smith’s
nomination would inevitably
precipitate one of the most un
fortunate campaigns in the na
tion's history.
May Take Buggy
Ride In Clouds
Over City Now
Those who are not getting enough
kick out of a spin in the various rid
ing devices at the fair grounds need
not raise such a yell. They may
take a buggy ride through the
clouds over Shelby if they so desire.
N H. Langley and R L. Wilson,
of Hartsville. S. C., with a new
Eaglerock airplane are taking up
passengers at the Cleveland Springs
golf club house.
For an air buggy ride of six to
12 minutes up above Shelby the
young aviators are charging $3.50.
Of course, when you come down
| safe and sound you may also thank
them for the buggy ride.
The plane will be here through
the remainder of the week.
Star Newsies Are
Guests Of Big Show
Seventeen Star Carriers Who Serve
Shelby And Snbnrbs Enjoy
Outing At The Fair.
Through the courtesy of the
Johnny J. Jones Southern exposi
tion which is furnishing the fun
and entertainment at the big Cleve
land county fair. 17 news boys who
deliver The Star in Shelby and
suburbs, enjoyed an outing yester
day under the supervision of Editor
Lee B. Weathers. As soon as the
Jones shows arrived in town Mr
Goeke, and Mr. Jack Lyles, public
ity manager, extended an invitation
for boys to come out. take in ml
the shows and the rides as guests of
the show. When the day and hour
was set the boys were ready down
at the office they were met by Mr.
W. H Cleveland, general utility
man, always busy but ready to
spare a few hours to put the boys
through the shows complimentary.
Seventeen boys were in the party.
A few w’ere absent because they are
mostly scout boys and are either ir.
Mr. Sinclair’s band which is fur
nishing music at the fair or taking
tickets at the various shows.
After a round of the sawdust
trail, the boys were treated to
plenty of eats and drinks and were
unanimous in their praise of the
Jones show organization and Tae
Star.
Mr. Cleveland is an old showman
who has been in the business since
1893. For a dozen or more years he
has been with the Jones shows
coming from Barnum and Bailey
and Ringlin Brothers. He enjoys
boys because he has handled them
so many times. Harry, the fat man
said he was once a newsie down
in Columbia, S. C.
Officers Capture
Muscadine “Still”
Kings Mountain—Deputy Sheriff
Griel Ware and Police officer C. S
Hedrick last Sunday captured and
destroyed a 30 gallon whiskey still
at the foot of Kings Mountain
within a few yards of the state line
The operators were preparing to
make a "run" of muscadine brandy
when the officers appeared on the
scene, and 100 gallons of still mash
was destroyed. One man was on the
scene when the officers arrived, but
he took to his heels and made good
his escape.
Muscadine brandy is being mad?
by many of the moonshiners, ac
cording to officers who have staged
recent raids, and the new beverage
is being pushed as a feature product
by the booze manufacturing frater
nity. I
Talking Thirst
How’s This One?
The mure than 25.000 peo
ple attending the owning day
of the rounty fair here Tues
day were right thirsty, it is
learned.
One Red Cross rest station
offers figures to show that in
numerable gallons of water
was guzzled by the hot, dusty
throng. At this station, oper
ated by Lutz St Jackson, fu
neral directors and ambulanrc
owners, a 50-gallon water
cooler was filled 20 times be
fore late afternoon. That was
1.000 gallons of water, and
late in the day a boy was hir
ed to pour water in the cooler
just as fast as he could carry
it. Seven hundred pounds of
ice went alang with th^ 1.000
gallons of water. This hap
pened, too. within 10 steps of
a running spigot of city water.
And this cold water booth
was only one of a score or
more.
SCHOOL EXHIBIT
PLEIDS FOB LONG
TERM OF SCHOOL
Low Ranking of Great Farm County
Is Rubbed in By Fair Educa
tional Booth.
* “Cleveland county should have
dn eight months school term so that
every boy and girl have an equal
chance."
That is the pleading of one of
the many signs hanging about the
educational booth at the Cleveland
, Rounty fair.
I A general survey of the attractive
school booth in the first big exhib
it hall reveals that the school chil
dren and teachers who arranged
the booth are backing whole-heart
edly the movement for better
schools in the county.
Right amid the county's agricul
tural glory a finger points in a
mocking manner at the lack of edu
cational facilities given the youtti
of so great a county.
Right amid the county's agricul
tural glory a finger points in a
mocking manner at the lack of edu
cational facilities given the youth
of so great a county.
One of the pointed illustrations m
the booths shows a group of mod
em school buildings, while just op
posite are several other pictures oi
buildings not so good with the title
"But we have many of these." An
other cardboard points out the
county's low rating in high school
graduates, and a third tells the story
of how numerous counties, many
not near so rich as Cleveland, have
better trained teachers because the/
pay better salaries.
Attractive, well-arranged. and
carrying a moral with a punch
there is no getting around the fact
that the educational booth at the
fair sent many Cleveland citizens
away thinking.
Football Season
Opens Here Today
High Playing Belmont Abbey Eleven
Many to See Furman-State
Game Today.
The Belmont Abbey eleven and
the Shelby Highs are clashing this
afternoon at the city park in Shel
by's first gridiron encounter of the
season.
The Catholic prep school outfit is
rated as one of the best in the sec
tion and the fans at the park today
will likely see a good game.
Quite a number of State college
followers and a few Furman back
ers departed Shelby this morning
for Greenville, S. C„ to witness the
State-Furman game, which is ex
pected to be one of the closest en
counters of the year in the two
Carol inas.
Mill Starts Day

McLean Says Opinion Has Not
Crystallised as to the Nom
inee for President.
Charlotte—Governor Angus W.
McLean believes that sentiment In
North Carolina and the nation
generally has not crystallised to the
point where accurate predictions
may be made as to who will be fa
vored in the state for the Demo
cratic presidential nomination.
"Lines will be drawn more dc
finitely within the next six months,
however.” the governor said.
He declined to comment on the
withdrawal of William G. McAdoo
from the race, nor would he be quot
ed as to the chances of Governor
A1 Smith, of New York state, and
other potential candidates. He said
he had been too busy with affairs
of state since he returned from h’l
vacation to give much thought to
national politics.
He did say, however, that senti
ment in North Carolina appeared to
be much divided at the present time
though leaders are holding back:
public expression of their thoughts.
He said that on his vacation to the
middle wrest he found similar con
ditions there.
The chief executive spoke rathe*
more freely concerning the Repub
lican party.
The leaders are playing their us
ual game, in his opinion. They will
permit the five or six candidates to
be trotted out and placed on exhi
bition and probably nominated at
the convention.
