Sampsoi Estimate 83,000 Visited County Fair Biggest Fair, Every Way, Secretary Dorton States | Last Day Of Fair, Saturday, Saw Biggest Cash Attendance Of All. May Have To Enlarge Fair Grounds To Accommodate Another Such Mammoth Gathering. All attendance records for county fairs in this section were smashed again when the Cleveland County Fair closed its Rates here Saturday night after the county’s fourth an nual farm exposition. The greatest crowd to ever visit a one-county farm show clicked the turnstiles during the five days of the past week. A conservative estimate of that crowd was around 80,000 people—the box-office estimate being 83,000. In the five days the throngs a’ tending came from three states and a score or more of counties along the border of Piedmont North and South Carolina. Numbered among the thousands of visitors were a doz en or more fair officials, who came to look over the best known and the best drawing county fair in the Carolinas. Just how many hundred people the counties of Gaston, Lincoln, 1 Burke, Rutherford, Catawba and j McDowell sent to see the fair is | not known, and from down in Soutn ! Carolina scores came from Chero j kee and York counties, while there | were numerous visitors from Ten j nessee. Georgia and Virginia. one more indication as to tne ter ritory the fair drew from is secured from the information picked up by a football party. A Shelby car re turning from the Furman-State game last Friday at Greenville, S. C., halted at a filling station near Gaffney. One of the Shelby men asked the proprietor: “Many people around here going to the Cleveland ! fair?” "See that stream of cars going 1 along there? I've counted over 100 1 this evening and I've been looking at the fireworks myself." Dorton Elated. Monday morning Dr. Sib Dorton, fair secretary, and Mr. A. E. Cline, fair president, were indescribably tired but elated over the event. “It was the biggest fair we've ever had, and the biggest in every way.” Dr. Dorton stated. “We had the ; biggest crowd ever, the best exhib ’ its. the best gate receipts, the best show, and the best behaved crowd, i I never dreamed of having the fair i grow to such a mammoth thing! If : next year is anything like the week just closed we will have to make the grounds, buildings and every thing out there larger." Although numerous assistants to the fair secretary are working extra hours a definite count of the total attendance has not been completed. The first day, Tuesday, was hard to estimate because several thousand school children were admitted free. However, what is considered a con servative estimate sets the total at tendance at 83,000 with the biggest paid attendance on the closing day Tuesday’s crowd was estimated at 26,000 people; Wednesday, 10,000. Thursday, 14.000; Friday, 15,000; Saturday, 18.000 to 20,000. Extension Class Will Begin Here On Next Saturday The local University of North Carolina extension class held its first meeting here last Saturday morning with Dr. McKee as in structor. Regular class work for teachers will begin Saturday morning Octo ber 8, at 9 o’clock. All teachers here abouts expecting to take the course this winter should be present next Saturday. Row At Road Camp Gets Woman Injured A row Sunday at a road camp on Highway 18 resulted in the injury of a negro woman. Claudia Crisp, who is now a patient in the Shel by hospital. Reports from the hospital today were that the negress received eight to 10 cuts on the scalp, but it no', thought to be in a serious condition. The wounds were made, it is said, by the butt of a pistol and shears in the hands of her husband. A quantity of liquor that got into the camp is said to have started the row. Mrs. 'Rush Oates returned to her home in Asheville yesterday after being with Mr. Forrest Eskridge and Mrs. Will J. Roberts since the death of their mother who was a sister of Mrs. Oates. Shelby’s Best Boys Share In Football Upsets Of Saturday Arrowood and Peeler, Cup Winners Here, In Two Big Gridiron Wins Saturday. Two Shelby High boys of other days had a hand in the two big foot ball upsets of the college season on Saturday. Oddly enough it was not the first time these boys have been heard from. Back in the bygone years a cus tom was started at the high school j here of giving each year a silver cup j to the best all-around boy gradu • j ating—meaning best student, best i athlete, and an all-around clean fellow. Four years ago Hugh Ar rowood won the cup and passed on to Davidson. Two years ago Melvm Peeler drew the highest honor oi his school and left to enter Duke university. Saturday Duke university furnish ed one of footballs’s major upsets by defeating Boston university, a big time eleven not defeated in two i years. Peeler played right end dur ing a portion of the game. On the same day the Davidson Wildcats pulled their biggest sensation of a decade and walloped Florida, down where they had never been heard of. Hugh Arrowood played the en tire game at left end and as usual was one of the stars. Indication, apparently, that some nice honor picking has been done in the past at the local high school. baptistTIet AT D. S.

Record Stalk Has 79 Bolls Of Cotton On It; 3 Pounds Mr. J. C. Davis, of McBrayer Springs section, brought a stalk of cotton into The Star office Friday that was laden with 79 bolls. It was estimated there was three pouids of lint in the bolls, enough not only to make grandmother a dress, but to make her an entire outfit of top things and under things. As for flappers—oh, well—. To eonvey some idea of the size of the stalk, and its bearing capacity, it is said an average of twelve bolls to the stalk would yield a bale of cotton to the acre and that is above the average in this county. \ Odd Love Story ! Is Unfolded As | Death Comes By Darling Of World’s Greatest Circus Lives In Henhouse With Lover. Tragic Story. (By Carl Helm in New York Amei ican.) This is the story of Happy Henry’ Roth, middle-aged, amiable ne'er do w’ell of a Long Island village, and of Carrie Roth, his wife, and of their love that rase above all. She died a few days ago, and now it can be told. Some twenty years ago she was the "Queen of the Air" in Bamum & Bailey's circus. The darling of the greatest show on earth, the star of the Hying trapeze. Young, blond, lissome, she was a thing of brave beauty to turn men s heads and break their hearts. When the greatest show went to Europe on tour even kings and queens ap plauded her, and she was received at their courts. The circus was playing Berlin. The great crowd' applauded as she swung through • the air. Then something went wrong. She grasp ed for the trapeze bar—missed hurtled down to the tanbark--lay gasping and broken. The circus moved on. Almost a year she lay in a hospital. One day she left, crip pled for life. She took ship home for New*York, landed almost pen niless. Her friends all forgot her. In the hospital, to relieve liei pain, they had given her narcotics. Now she was a fiend for the drug, she could not live without it. ft eased her body and eased her mind —it made her forget. It is certain that “Happy Henry" Roth never had heard of the “Queen of the Air.” He w»as an odd-job man in College Point. L. I., and people gave him old clothes and a back-door dinner for the oc casional labor he found it neces sary to do. He lived all alone in an old garage and found life to his liking. But one day in spring, six years ago, he felt he would like a wife. He put an ad in a matri monial paper and awaited results. Prom •Strasburg, in the coal reg ion of Pennsylvania, came reply. One who signed herself "Carrie said she would marry Mr. Roth if he would stipulate that never, un der any circumstance, would he ask her about her past. Mr. Rotn. who had nothing to lose and all to gain, agreed. And so they were wed in College Point, and Carrie Roth went to live in the old garage. ‘ Happy Henry" now bestirred himself to find odd jobs were few he went without eating. He could live without food his wife could not live without her portion of drug.. Work ran out. They moved then belongings up to the shore to the village of Whitesone, where a kindly man let "Happy Henry" and his wife live in an abandoned hen house for doing some chores. They fixed it up with shingles and cur tains and planted some flowers, and life seemed good to the both of them. » * . There came a day when "Happy Henry”rummaging, found an old portmaneau that belonged to his wife. It fell open and revealed a stack of newspaper clippings— stories about the beautiful “Queer of the Air,” and photographs of her blond, lithe loveliness. He could scarce believe his senses, bu: in the haggard and wrinkled fea tures of the broken woman who was his light o' love he could trace -the outlines of that beautiful face. Carrie caught him with the clip pings, and she made him promise, as he loved her, never to tell any body, and never to mention what (Continued from first page.) I ' . HIGHS WILL PLAY KINGS MI. FRIDAY, ONE WIN ALREADY Team Pointed To Next Game After Taking Opening Contest From Abbey Eleven. Feeling none too chesty after nosing out at 6 to 0 win over Lite strong Belmont Abbey eleven here last Friday the Shelby Highs are being pointed at the game on the coming Friday with Kings Moun tain. The contest will be played in Kings Mountain and it is hoped to have a large delegation of local backers with the team. No Impressive Win. The Highs vistory in their open ing game was nothing to write home about. Morris' boys might have made another touchdown or so. and at the same time there wxre two quarters in which it seemed only reasonable that the Catholic prep eleven should emerge vlctori out. t After looking over the 1927 edi tion of the Shelby Highs the con clusion is somewhat similar to that of recent years: A fair backfield with no line to speak of. With one of the old-time lines the present Shelby backfield with its veraUlity could have tramped the Abbey youths unmercifully. Early in the game, before the heat wore down the Shelby eleven with no substitutes to go in. the locals chased over a touchdown, Erl Harris, veteran back, carrying the ball across the marker. Thereaitev Shelby threatened to score only once more when in the final min utes of play Beam and Bridges be gan riping off long end runs, but iW«re tackled by the whistle be fore getting over. In between those periods a young fellow, Branch by name and quarterback of the Bel mont eleven, enjoyed himself thor oughly in ripping the Shelby lines to shreds. In the parlance of the side lines Branch was “a pain” and the green Shelby line, weakened in the heat of baseball weather, just could not hold his plunges. Yet his plnnges could not make the dist ance necessary for a score due to the secondary defense and roving play of young Billy Grigg. Time aft er time the hefty Belmont backs let the pigskin roll out of theiv arms after being fiercely tackled by Grigg and Cline. With the remain der of the team playing a headup game to recover the fumbles Shel by was saved from defeat. Time Will Tell. Fans w'ho have been packing their bags to accompany a Shelby eleven to Chapel Hill this year may as well dump the extra shirt and a tooth brush out on the dresser and wait a while. The missing spark plug in the eleven handled by Coaches Morris and Falls this year cannot be laid to anything except a lack of ma terial. Substitutes are badly needed when fotball is played in swimming weather and substitutes are just the things the Shelby coaches do not have. One line with one excep tion played the entire game Fri day because Morris did not have anyone else to send in. The second backfield rested the four ponies for a quarter or so, but the original line had to stand it for four quarters, and perhaps that is why it did not look so good. Three of the promis ing linemen stopped coming out for practice, two more are injured and when the whistle blew Friday Shel by had only eight line players. The play of Grlgg ana come m the line looked good at times, while as usual the ground gaining was (Continued on page three.) Police Chief In Quick Trip To Rutherford Town Shortly after noon Saturday with crime somewhat dual about Shelby Police Chief A. L. Richards decided to “go up in the air' and see hov, other police chiefs handled traffic during the Saturday rush. In 40 minutes after making the decision he had overlooked several towns in two counties and was back directing traffic here. Believe it or not, it's so. Chief Richards and Mr. Hope Bryson, of the Cleveland Oil com pany, made an airplane trip to Rutherfordton and back with N. H. Langley, pilot of the commercial plane at the Cleveland Springs golb club "Enjoyed it. fine,” the chief said upon his return, “but a fellow can’t help but have a few thoughts when he is up there looking down.” Lindy Coming To Spartanburg Next Week In His Plane—Expect Thousand? To Hear Aviator And Richards In Talks Spartanburg. Oct. 3.-—Weather forecasts and cotton crop estimates and even predictions as to the out come Of the world series. have largely given place in Spartanburg to estimates of the number of visi tors who will come to the city on >October 12 to see and hear Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, who will land the "Spirit of St. Louis" here at 2 o'clock on that date and remain un til the following morning. Atlanta is said to be predicting that IJpO.OOO will welcome Lindbergh there En thusiastic Spartanburg citizens point out that there are more peo ple within a radius of 150 miles of Spartanburg than within a similar area with Atlanta as its center. Therefore, it is argued, the number of visitors to Spartanburg should not fall so far below the Atlanta crowd Nobody believes that there will be half that many here, but ev erybody is convinced that there will be more thousands than can oe counted on the fingers of two hands. Pinal arrangements have been made with the railroads entering Spartanburg for reduced fares. The rates in detail will be advertised throughout the territory concerned. Pares from Augusta and Columbia will be *2 for the round trip, while from Asheville., Westminster, and Charlotte, the fare will be *1.75 Proportionate reductions will ap ply from intermediate points The program has been tentatively arranged, and awaits only the ap proval of Col Lindebergh's mana gers. He is to arrive promptly at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Shortly thereafter he will be taken for a drive through the city, at the head of a motor parade . No pedestrian, are to participate in the parade, as it is desired that a speed of at least IS miles per hour be maintained No "fancy features" are to be permit ted. The parade will end at Duncan park, where Colonel Lindbergh and Governor Richards are to make short addresses. During his stay in Spartanburg. Colonel Lindbergh will be constant ly guarded. Even when he retires to his room in the hotel, two police officers will be on guard in the cor ridor all night. These precautions are necessary, his managers state, to protect him lrom the intrusion.-; of those who make all kinds of ef forts to meet and greet the great flyer. His plane, also, the “Spirit oi St. Louis,” lies constantly guarded and is surrounded by a heavy port able iron tense as soon as it lands Colonel Lindbergh has stipulated that special provision shall be made for the accommodation of school children at his open-air ad dress. They are to be placed near the stand, so that they can see and hear- the hero without difficulty. Numerous bands will add to the live liness of the day and evening. Every conceivable detail for the handling of the enormous crowd of visitors is being given attention by those appointed for that purpose and Spartanburg hopes to leave nothing undone to assure an enjoy able day to her visiting throngs. _1_ City Water Shows Up Well In Test An analysis of the city water made by the state laboratory of hy giene at Raleigh shows the water is almost perfect condition.

Minister Aids Youth Whom Some Think Tried to T&ke His Own Ufa The wheels of an automobilo driven by a colored cotton picker almost ended the life here Satur day of a youth who left his home to follow the glamour and glare of the ballyhoo and apparent gayety of a show life. His dream—common to the dreams of youth—failed to mater ialize. and Saturday morning, de jected, disappointed, heart-sore and hungry he came within an inch of Joining the Biggest Show of all un der the Big Top. The story is a tragic one, though similar perhaps to many connected with the boys who pass in the night On Church Steps. Early Saturday morning as a stream of automobiles began to wend their way to the bustle of the fair grounds, a slip of a youth idled against the steps of Central Meth odist church, corner of Washington and Marion streets. A big Chrysler came hurtling by and those who saw the youth a moment before near the church steps again saw him crumble in the street almost In the path of the car. But the car swerved and passed to one side. A gasp of relief escaped from bystand ers—and there came another car and down went the crumpled form under the wheels. Back to the steps of the church they carried him, those who had witnessed the tragic little play of life that had not taken more than 30 seconds. How it happened, why it happened, no one seemed to know Suicidal attempt? Accident? A few minutes later Dr. H. K. Boyer, pastor of the church, came by on his morning walk. Noting the excitement he stopped for a mo. ment Questioning brought out that the boy’s name was Carrico and that he was from Virginia. Dr. Boy er once knew a Carrico family there and had the Injured youth carried into his study. There in the quietude of the pas tor's nook the boy was persuaded to tell part of his story. When he ha<J finished Dr. Boyer knew ihat he was a member of the Marion, Va, family that Re wag acquainted with, but that was about all. The youth was secretive. Apparently he didn't want the folks back home to know of his plight. The minister of f ered to telephone them; the boy object ed. Then came the query 11 he tried to take his own life and such an act was denied. Cit With Show. The story the youth told in brief was that some months back he lets his Virginia home to become a trailer of a show, one of those-to-bi pitied characters so well depicted by Jim Tulley in his famous booi "Circus Parade". But the gayety ; the show folks, the raucous yells of the ticket sellers, and the painted smiles of' the show girls are .» great lure to boys. What boy, in fact, has not at -some time in his life wanted to run away with a show? But that gets away from the story. *■% Thursday, the youth told the minister, he became violently ill with a headache. “They,” apparent ly referring to the show folks, gave him several* tablets. “Since that time,” he told Dr. Boyer, “I have not had any sense atall. I didn't try to kill myself. I just eouldn t walk and fell down in the streets." Broke, No Job Other queries brought out the in formation that after he became sick he lost his job as a handy man about some side show and had been walking the streets broke and hun gry, and apparently dazed since Thursday night. , Dr. Boyer gave him enough money to get something to eat and followed him to a cafe near the Southern station. There he lost track of the youth. Discussing the incident Dr. Boyer stated that he believed something was wrong with the youth's head. His legs and arms were skinned and his hips bruised when he was struck by the car and realizing his condition tho Methodist minister was still desir ous of communicating with the boys people back in Virginia, but since he left to get something to eat nothmg has been heard of him. The grandeur and gayety of the midway was not what it seemed on the surface to him.
