GASTONIA nr
ON SHELBY FIELD
Morris Boys Make it Two Straight
By Running fj'p Score On
Kings Mountain Eleven
With two victories behind them
in as many starts this season the
Shelby high football eleven will
play Gastonia at the local park
Friday afternoon of this week. Gas
tonia’s eleven is an unknown quan
tity so far and as Morris’’ boys arc
still in need of some experience the
outcome can hard!’ be predicted.
However, local fans will swarm the
field Friday hoping that the re
built highs will make it three
straight.
Make 47 Points
Playing the husky Kings Moun
tain team at Kings Mountain last
Friday as a part of the celebration
program the local youths ran up
one of the highest scores ever mauo
by a Shelby team in defeating
Kings Mountain 47 to 0. Just what
the score might have been is a
matter of conjecture as the Shelby
coach used his entire second string
backfield a part of the game along
with all the line substitutes he
had.
From the standpoint of good
football neither eleven revealed
anything extraordinarily. Yet the
Shelby backs in reeling off several
long runs for some of their many
touchdowns offered a bit of color
for the celebration crowd. Laymoa
Beam, Shelby fullback and for two
years the chief colt in the local
pony backfield, chalked up three
of the seven touchdowns, and per
haps furnished the most spectacular
play of the game when he caught a
Kings Mountain punt and .an be
hind good interf.erei£e. for _a touch
down.
Harris Is Captain
Before going into the game the
Shelby eleven elected its captain
for the year and it fell to the lot of
Ed Harris, the veteran back of the
team, to lead the squad for the
year. The blonde back has been tr.e
kicking mainstay and rally point
of the backfield for several years
and has earned his honors. Start

Shelby Officers
In Double Haul
Boy Arrested in County For Steal
• ing Auto Seems to be Taylors
ville Store Thief.
Jake Graham. a young white
youth sold his clothes too cheap and
as a result may wear new suit in
side a prison wall—the interior walls
being nothing new' to him, officers
say.
The charges against Graham are
stealing an automobile here and
staging a series of store robberies at
Taylorsville, in Alexander county
Graham came here Thursday, it
is said, and put up at the inn at
the Southern depot. During his stay
he sold a new suit of clothes, it is
said, for $6.50 and aroused suspic
ion. Saturday night the Chevrolet
touring car of Lester Smith, filling
station proprietor on the Cleveland
Springs road, was stolen from in
front of Austell’s barber shop. Smith
late in the night had Carr Mull take
him up-county to get his father's
car to make a search for his miss
ing car. While in that section Smith
found his car parked by the side of
the road above Toluca and out of
gasoline. Nearby was the house of
Ed Sain and Sunday morning Sam
became suspicious of a youngster
sleeping in ms Darn ana uau mm
rested The youngster turned out to
be Graham. Making an investigation
at the inn, where Graham had stop
ped up until Saturday night, offi
eers found that he had taken a
trunk full of clothing to the depot
and made an order to express it to
a brother in Gainesville, Fla. The of
ficers seized the trunk before it was
shipped and found that it was pack
ed with clothing thought to be
stolen from the Taylorsville store.
The trunk contained four suits,
many pairs of socks, shuts, caps and
jackets. Taylorsville officers said
about $1,000 worth of goods had
been stolen there and several wires
were sent to Florida to see if any
other shipments had been made to
John Graham, the brother there.
While awaiting the arrival of the
Taylorsville officers Graham was
bound over to Superior court here
under a bond of $1,000 in connection
with the larceny of the automobile.
The Taylorsville officers stated that
Graham had been out of the "pen"
only about three weeks. He seems to
be in the early twenties.

Head Of Junior
Orphanage Visits
Old Friends Here
Marvin Shuford Says Junior Order
Institution Will Receive Chil
dren About Dec. 1st.
Marvin Shuford. former ShelDy
citizen, who was recently selected
superintenednt oi the new Junioj'
Order orphanage in process of erec
tion at Lexington, says work is
moving right along on the build
ings and everything will be in
readiness to receive children by
December 1st. Mr. Shuford and his
family are here visiting his mother.
Mrs. W. P. Shuford and his sister,
Mrs. Sam Weathers.
For the present the institution
will have 186 beds but plans are
made tc increase the capacity of the
institution to 1,000 beds in the years
to come. A mammoth plant has
been outlined with every possible
convenience for the children w'ho
will be carried for. When the plant
is developed to its final limit will
have 45 handsome brick buildings
The Junior Order orphanage, the
second in the United States, is
supported by a per capita tax upon
every member of the Junior Order
in America. There are 500.000
members in the Junior Order and
the tax upon each is only $1.32 per
annum but this makes a sum which
provides for the care of hundreds
of fatherless children.

SPARTANBURG NOW
READY FOR LIIUDY
10 ARRIVE IRERE
Distinguished Visitor May Fly At
Three Points So That Entire
Crowd May See. ’
Spartanburg, S C— Adopting,
with variations, the ancient Roman
circus idea of presenting the chari.it
races on a vast circular or oval
ring, the committee on program for
the visit of Col. Charles A. Land
burg to Spartanburg’s new airport
on Wednesday, October 12. has ar
ranged for the "Lone Eagle” to fly
over three points in and near the
city, at which crowds are to be as
sembled to view the spectacle.
While there arc to be no sugges
tions of the modern three-ring cir
cus. the Colonel will circle over the
three great throngs in order to give
them an opportunity to see the air
plane that carried him to Paris.
The idea of dividing the throng
into three sections was adopted be
cause it was feared that to under
| take to concentrate the spectators
at one place would lead to a con
gestion of people and automobile;
that would be literally dangerous
and uncontrollable. The fields sur
rounding the airport cover many
acres, but the pressure on the boun
daries of the landing field itself
would be so great, it is feared, that
no adequate police control could be
established for the protection of
the planes that will accompany the
Colonel, to say nothing of the
“Spirit of St. Louis” itself.
In addtion to flying over the air
port. where the visiting party will
first appear from the sky. Colonel
Lindbergh will fly over the business
section of the city, and then pro
ceed to Duncan Park, the great
athletic stadium just outside the
Eastern limits of the city. He will
then return to the airport, where
he will land, and the ceremonies
incident to his visit will take place
At the landing field the official
welcome of the state and the city
will be extended to Colonel Lind
bergh by Governor Richards and
Mayor Brown. After this feature, a
mammoth parade will be under
taken. leading from the airport into
the city from the west, through the
business and principal residential
sections, to Duncan Park. where
another address will be made by the
colonel. Thus he will follow the
same route by motor that he will
have just gone over in his plane,
so that the three crowds may re
main in their places for the two
views of Colonel Lindbergh.
In the evening a banquet will be
tendered the distinguished guest in
the dining room of Converse col
lege. The guest list has been limn
ed to five hundred, the utmost
capacity of the dining hall. At the
banquet Colonel Lindbergh will
make an address dealing with the
progress of commercial aviation.
Interest continues to center in es
timates of the number of visitors
likely to come to Spartanburg on
Lindbergh Day. One railroad offi
cial declares that it is feasible for
350.000 people to come to Spartan
burg for the occasion and return to
their homes that night. The rail
road rates established from points
within 200 miles of Spartanburg
are said to be the low'est ever offer
ed.

City Streets Buzz
* With Recall Talk
As Petitions Go
Mission Swings To And Fro,
Some For, Others Against. Can
Hold Election Before May
I i
iThe week-end topic on the streets
j *nd the homes of Shelby centered
j io a major extent about the recall
; movement started here Friday
| when an attorney prepared petitions
calling for an election w'hich would
! give the people recall privileges,
i Discussion heard swung one way,
■ then another. There will be sup
] porters of the recall movement and
I also opponents. one would Judge
after making a 'tour about the
streets. Likewise there seems to be
an opposition to the movement.
Which is not taken from the recall
standpoint. There are those, in this
connection, who voice disapproval
of changing the city form of gov
ernment to make the recall election
possible. Just which group has the
greatest strength will only be de
termined at the wind-up, whatever
the wind-up may be.
Takes 600 Names
Peyton McSwain, employed r.s
legal advisor of the group SDOnsor
ing the double-barrel election, say-3
that in his opinion it will take in
the neighborhood of 600 signers on
the petitions to cause the count v
board of election to set an election
for a change in form of govern
ment. This estimate is based, he
says, on the belief that the register
ed voting strength of the city is m
the neighborhood of 2,400—the law
requires that the petition for either
election must be signed by 25 per
cent of the registered voters.
A report was current Saturday
that if the first election was suc
cessful no recall election could be
staged before next May. Queried
about this report Saturday Attorney
McSwain stated that the recall
election could be held immediately
after the first election provided the
preparatory election was successful.
With the passing of three day?
few names can be heard as likely
opposition candidates to any one in
the" present administration even if
the movement gets to the recall
stage. The name of Mr. D. D. Wil
kins, state automobile inspector and
former sheriff of the county, has
been advanced by some of his
friends, but whether or not Mr.
Wilkins would entertain the idea of
getting in a recall race is not
known. He knew nothing of it Sat
urday, his name merely being
brought up by friends during a dis
cussion of possibilities.
Actual leaders, actively working
or in a mental capacity, of the re
call movement have as yet not been
named by the recall attorney. Mr.
McSwain stated Saturday when
asked again about the recall lead
ers that so far they had authorized
them to make any announcements
necessary. Numerous petitions were
on the street and in various sec
tions of the city Saturday.
Renovated Station
Here Ready Again
A. H. Morgan, -station master for
the Southern railroad here, an
nounces Chat the newly renovated
and reconditioned passenger station
is again in use for the service of
the public. The office of the South
eastern Express is also back in the
new building.
Those who have been observant
will have noted that the Southern
station, one of the oldest unchanged
landmarks in the city, has been
completely overhauled and it is
practically the same as a new sta
tion.
Must Be Voted Out, Dorsey
Says~ His Record Stands
For Itself On City Books
Mayor’s Statement
1 Says Books Show As
Much Money Taken
In As Spent. Fair To
AH.
j The city’s latest political squabble
' may wind up with a recall election
but Mayor W. N. Dorsey lets its be
known that he has nothing to
apologize for and Is anything else
but a quitter.
As the mayor, storm center of a
looming recall, looks at it the pen
pie who elected him did so on hi*
platform and to the best of ability
he has carried out the platform. If
they're not satisfied with the car
rying-out it is for them to say so at
the ballot box. That in brief ex
presses the feeling of Mayor Dor
sey following the announcement
that petitions are being circulated
that would, if successful, lead to a
recall election.
Not Going To Quit
“I am perfectly willing if
the people think I haven't par
ried out my promises the best
possible for them to go to the
polls and vote me out,” the
mayor stated to a member of
The Star staff while he took a
few minutes off from super
vising the installation of water
lines to Sunset cemetery.
Takes His Stand
As regards the words "mcompet
ency and inefficiency" in Xhe .peti
tion for a preparatory and a recall
election, the mayor has somewhat
of a wonder as to what is meant
Discussing what he thinks of the
complaint made by the recall fac
tion Mayor Dorsey said in part:,
“The books are here to show for
themselves. I believe they will show
that no more money has been spent
by my administration than has been
taken in. And furthermore I’ll leave
it to the people if the town is no*,
cleaner than it was when I came in.
“I did not take this job for the
honor, or for any financial gain I
would as soon be called street
foreman as mayor. I had one ambi
tion in seeking the oflice—it was ta
make the town I intend to live ami I
die in a little cleaner and a little
better. My ambition along that re
spect stands ar.d if the people
think I haven't worked faithfully to
that end I am perfectly willing for
them to vote me out.
Sought No Votes
“If it goes to another election I
do not intend to ask a single per
son to vote for me. I did not ask
them to in the first election. Neitn
er do I intend to spend a cent. I did i
not spend a cent in the first elec- j
tion.
Carry Out Platform
“I have no apologies to make for 1
the condition of the town in clean
liness and financially. I shall no'
promise to do any better than i
have in the four months of my ad
ministration, and I intend to do in
the future as in the past—and that
is to carry out my platform as near
as possible.
Served All Alike
“I have tried to serve those
whom I knew fought me bitterly in
the first election just as faithfully
as I have the friends who support
ed me. All I ask is to be let alone !
and let me run it my way, or else
put me out. If it is the wishes of
the best class of people in Shelby
that I get out I will gladly do so.
NOT A Ql’ITTER.
Mayor W. N. Dorsey.
Otherwise I will not. As stated oy
Sam Jone3 ‘D-a quitter."
About Tax Raise
"The recent city tax raise of five
cents was made necessary, in my
mind, because in the first two
months of my administration w-i
had to pay accounts totalling ap
proximately $13,000 that were ap
proved by the old board, also $7,000
borrowed at the barik just before
the new administration came in. In
explaining this I am not criticis
ing the old board. This money had
to be taken care of some way,
sooner or later. It was my view'
that it u'as better to raise the taxes
a little than have so many debts
hanging over. The old board per
haps thought differently and I am
not criticising them for it. But
som? time the debts would have to
be paid and the sooner the tax rate
was made equal to handling them
the less they would grow. I did not
cast a vote for the tax raise be
cause the present board voted un
animously for it. As I stated before
I have the books here to show that
my administration has not spent
any more money than it has taken
in, and I believe all will agree that
the city's general equipment is
considerably better than it was.
That is all I have to say,’’ Mayor
Dorsey concluded. “for I do not
care to have a controversy with
anyone.”
Talk Building At
First Baptist Here
For some time, sentiment has
been crystalizing in the congrega
tion of the .First Baptist church lor
a new educational building to be
erected on the lot adjacent the
church building and on Sunday
morning Max Gardner, teacher cf
the Men’s Bible class and Dr. Zeno
Wall, pastor, both urged the neces
sity of enlarging the plant t6 meet
the requirements of the Sunday
school which now has an attend
ance of over 600. The classes are
congested in the church and it is
proposed to build a Sunday school
department on the vacant Jot and
convert the entire church building
into an auditorium for church serv
ices. The church has a membership
of over 1,000.
527 Sign Petition So Far
The recall faction, seeking the scalp of the present city
administration in Shelby, had only about 75 signers to go
early this morning, it was reported at noon today from the
office of Peyton MccSwain, legal advisor for the movement.
“At 9 o’clock this morning they told me they had 527
signers,” McSwain stated. “Several of the petitions have
been filled,” he added.
According to the attorney approximately 600 signers
will represent the necessary 25 percent, of the registered
vote in the city. “However, they tell me that they are not go
ing to stop at 600, but are going to keep on seeking signers
until they fill every petition. I drew up 12 copies and they
say they are going to fill all of them. That would be about
1,000 names,” the lawyer stated.
From reports the petitions are being carried over prac
tically every section of the city, including the business sec
tion, suburbs, residential and industrial sectons.
“Another day or so and every petition should be practi
cally filled with signatures,” it was announced at the office
of the attorney.
BOARD EXPRESSES

Practice Soon, But Not Be
cause of Recall Petition.
Surprise was expressed today by
the four afdermen over the recall
election petition which was started
in circulation Friday morning.
Neither one has any idea of quit
ting. Now that the fi£ht h&3 been
started they are anxious to see it
through and are willing to leave tiie
outcome the voters. They have
been assured by friends that thpy
have been’-doing the best they
i could under the circumstances and
{many have told'fhem not to be ur
leasy over the outcome. One of thi
aldermen said he would have qu.t
willingly had he been asked to do
so. but he did not relish ‘he idea
of being "thrown out” and would
hold on until the will of the major

the polls. Two of the other aider
men expressed regret that the city
I should be tom with political strife.
Dr. Gold to Retire.

active medical practice in a short
while. For many weeks he has been
building a comfortable home on his
farm near Polkville and expects io
move to it when it is completed tin
last of November. Moving away
from Shelby will necessitate Dr.
Gold resigning from the position on
the board of aldermen but "since
this recall proposition has come up,
I would not quit the board if the
I taw did not compell me to," added.
Dr. Gold. “I think the recall absuro
and a reflection on the mayor
board and city.” said he.
' Alderman J. F. I^edford saich he
lhad no comemnt to make, except
(that "the folks put us in and it is
up to us to do the best we man,
which we are doing."
Alderman Alger Hamrick says “1
am willing to rest the outcome with
the people who have the interest of
the town at heart. If they want me
out. I am willing to go, but it they
want me to continue to do the best
of my ability, I will serve on."
Alderman Rochel Hendrick says,
"I have been conscientious in every
thing I have voted for and thought
it for the best interest of the towm
as a whole. I have lived nere 27
years and have seen the town growr
from a small hamlet, to the fine
city that it is. Folks who know me.
know that I do what I think is
right and that I w ill continue to do."
