North Carolina Man Sure A1 Smith Will Badly Cripple Democratic Party In N. C. * . _ (Greensboro News Bureau , .. Washington.—“The Democratic party of North Carolina will suffer certain disaster if A1 Smith should be nominated for President," said j Captain Fitzhugh Whitfield of Clin ■ ton, who is here on business before the government departments. Cap tain Whitfield is a lawyer a practice extending over a dozen counties in eastern North Carolina. Within the last few months he has come into contact with hundreds of the rank and file of the party, not only in his law' practice but in his visits to other sections of the state. He says he has made it a business to sound out the sentiment of both the Smith end anti--Smith people. Everywhere he has heard the opinion emphatically expressed that if the Democrats oi the nation name the New York gov ernor as their candidate for Presi dent the slate wouia go Republican, and a division would arise in the party that could not be healed for i years "That is the situation," he went I on, “as I see it not only in the cast but all over the state. In Samp son county, where I live, and in the adjoining counties, the Democratic loss would be appalling. Smith has a little strength in spots, but it con sists principally of people who have been convinced by newspaper propa j ganda that he and he only could | win. Only a few people have swallow j ed that sort of stuff. Awful Beating in Prospect, j “Based upon the information I I have not only of North Carolina, j but of other Southern states the New 1 York governor would probably be ! the worst defeated candidate we ever nominated. Our people believe _ that he stands for everything that they are against. They know that if he is the candidate all the powers on earth could not keep the wet and dry issue out of the campaign, and the appalling thing about it is that our candidate would be on the wrong side of the question. The ! party would at once be thrown on ] the defensive, without moral ground for support. “Then there is the sectarian ques tion. While we may not sympathize with the prejudice against a Roman Catholic candidate for President, we have got to recognize as Democrats that thousands of our people feel very deeply on this question, and in their minds it transcends every oth er consideration. I know that hun dreds of preachers and thousands Of Protestant church members would in solid phalanx leave the party rath er than support Smith for President "I am deeply devoted to the inter est of the Democratic party in North Carolina, and I can see no reason why we should wreck our party in the territory that remains faithful to it in order to make one more fu tile effort to get electoral votes for a Democraticc presidential candi date from a group of states that have not cast an electoral vote for the party in many years. Can’t Carry Home State. “I have never believed myself tnat Smith could carry New York even. They vote differently on governor and President in New York city. In 1924 while Smith was getting 400, 000 majority in the city of New York for governor, Coolidge was carrying the same city in the same city election for the presidency by 137,00 and the state by over 000, 000. !

RED JUNE APPLE IS PULLED IN COUNTY It seems a second bloom in the lo cal orchard is not such a rare phen omenon after all. Monday a bright red “Red June” apple was brought into The Star office, pulled from a tree on .the farm of J. H. Carpenter, of Waoo. It was a small, but perrect specimen. just pulled from the tree. It was explained that the same tree bore a full crop early irj the summer, v Brevard Henessa also tells of hav ing got a second crop apple from a tree on the Hennessa. place.

MeDiarmid Conducts I Devotional—351 Arc Members In Junior Red Cross. (Special to xne star.) South Shelby. Oct. 19.—Rev. H. N. McDiarmid, pastor of the Presby terian church conducted our devo tional exercises Wednesday morn ing Mr. McDiarmid read the 19th Psalm which he says is a declara tion of the beauty of God's world and why it is beautiful. Pointing to a vase of beautiful flotvers on the tables before him which he used as an object lesson he told the pupils assembled that each one of these flowers showed forth the beauty of God and that God was the origina tor of everything beautiful. "The finest things," says Mr. McDiarmid that man can draw about him wouldn't be equal to the flower that God made. Flowers are plastic,”, said the minister, "and just as they yield readily' to fertilization, light, sunshine and moisture we should yield ourselves to God and He will ever care and watch over us be cause we are made in his image." Mr. McDiarmid closed this splen did talk by urging the student body to give God a chance to ihake their ( lives beautiful “but in order to do this," says Mr. McDiarmid. ‘we must not only obey our parents and teachers but the laws of our coun try and respect the rights of our fellowman.” According to reports sent in by the teachers at the close of the first month only 8 tardies were report ed during the month. This is the best record we have had in regard to tardies. Miss Mary Helen Lattimore who ! teaches piano in our school played the "Rosary" for us in chapel Fri day. This selection was Miss Lat timore's own arrangement of the “Rosary” and was rendered de lightfully. Misses Irene Chandler and Mil dred Thompson’s grades had the best attendance record for the first month. Twenty-two new pupils were en rolled the first three days of this week. They follow: J. L. Warren. Chalmar Hamrick. Ray Lail, Jun ior Lail. Ruth Hamrlfk. Inez War ren. Coy McMahan, J. B. Allen. Sue Spake. Ruby Hamrick, Jessie Shep herd, Howard Sisk, Bertie Lee Hamrick. Max Williams, Bright Glascoe, Vassie Hamrick, Daniel Benson. Grant Duncan. Kenneth Williams. Theron Jones, Lewis Jones and Pearl Glascoe. Our en rollment to date is 423. We were so glad to have Mrs. Charlie Rheinhardt with us during our chapel exercises Wednesday morning. Mrs. Rheinhardt is a mighty good friend of the school and we deeply appreciate her co-, operation. Our regular monthly Red Cross meeting was held last Thursday morning during chapel period at which time splendid reports were given by all the grades. According to the report of the secretary, 351 boys and girls are members of our Junior Red Cross. Nine grades out of thirteen reported 100 percent enrollment. One pupil in the eighth grade re ports that she is writing letters and reading to a woman in the commun ity who has never been to school. Another pupil reports that he regu larly cuts wood for a blind man in his neighborhood. This is very worthwhile. The sixth grade has recently memorized the following selection by Emily Dickenson and recited it for us in chapel last Friday morning: “If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain. If I can ease one life the aching, Or cool one pain. Or help one fainting robin Into his nest again. I shall not live in vain.” The officers of “The Current Events club" in the seventh grade follows: President, Purvis Barrett; vice-president, Grant Duncan; sec retary, Mabel Anthony. The third grades have been hav ing spelling matches this week. These grades are taught by Mrs. Plaster, nee Ruth Howie, and Miss Jo Ramsey. I OPIUM SHOPS OUTNUMBER RESTAURANT IN CAPITAL OF CHINESE PROVINCE (By International J^ews Service.) Peking.—Harking back to the old slogan of certain American cities which boasted of more saloons than churches. Kaifengu. provincial capi tal of Honan, can now show more opium shops than restaurants. With increased supply, the cost of opium decreases so that an ounce which formerly cost one dollar fifty now retails for thirty-five cents. Curiously enough opium comes down in price, vegetables rise and it is a common remark in Kaifengu I that cabbage will soon be more costly than opium. Say* Booze Theft Crime Under Law Asheville—A man who «tr<ih another’s liquor is just as- guilty morally of theft as one who steals a legal possession. Judge Roy I,. Deal, of Winston-Salem declared in Buncombe superior court. i He made the statement in pronouncing judgment on Rob ert Davis and Cecil Cochran, 17 ycar-old youths, who explained their unlawful possession of half a gallon of corn whiskey by tell ing the court they had obtained it from a cache in a pile of brush in the Kenilworth stection where they had seen it hidden a few moments before. Both denied they had ever taken a drink. 5 'Times Aint So Bad” When Court pelendants Carry S100 Bills. Three Boys to Roads. The Cleveland county recorder's ;ourt may or may not have been reversed by Supreme court, and in its many years of operations it may have received numerous blows, but yesterday it was so stunned that Judge John Mull lost his usu al composure. Grover Harrill, colored man from the Mooresboro section, faced the court on the charge of being drunk and snatching the pocketbook of a woman at the colored county fair. After hearing the evidence Judge Mull decided that Harrill was guilty to the extent of a $20 fine and the costs. Small money of the type did not seem to bother the defendant who immediately pulled a $100-bill out of his pocket and asked for his change The court is still recovering from the surprise. « v Had 10 Gallons During the same session of court three white boys from the Kings Mountain section received a four months road sentence each on a li quor charge. They were nabbed at the fair grounds Wednesday after noon and two were old offenders. In addition to the feature case, six or eight drunks ’ picked up at the colored fair were given fines. Mrs. Cook Victim Of Blood Poison Mrs. Esper Cook died this morn ing about daybreak at tire Shelby hospital from blood poison which started with a small pimple on her face. Mrs. Cook and her husband lived on the O. M. Mull farm south east of Shelby and both are natives of upper Cleveland. Mrs. Cook be fore marriage being a daughter of the late William Harrill. She was a fine Christian woman, about 45 or 50 years of age and greatly beloved in the community in which she lived as well as No. 10 township where she was born and reared. She is survived by her husband and about eight children. Interment will take place at St. Paul Methodist church. Key Club Name Of New Organization >Ien Form Exclusive Social Club With Headquarters At Legion Old Stand. The “Key club" is the name of a new social organization formed by 75 men of Shelby which will have headquarters in the American Le gion, room to the rear of the First National bank. The American Legion, it is understood, will aban don its club room and hereafter hold its metings in the court house or some other public place. Membership in the new social club is made up largely of Legionaires, but others are admitted and in the club room there will be shower baths, a reading room and other recreational facilities. The member ship will be limited to 75. Already.62 have joined. Control of the club has been placed in-the hands of a board of governors of which Ralph Royster is chairman. Other members of this board are Speight Beam. Fred Wagner. Tom Moore and Jesse Washburn. Boyce Dellinger has been elected to serve as secretary and treasurer. FASTEST LOCOMOTIVE IN EUROPE IS GIVEN TEST Baltimore. Md.—The fastest and most powerful locomotive in Europe, the “King George V." of England's great Western railway, completed a 290 mile test run over* Baltimore and Ohio tracks and startled offi cials of that road by hitting a 76 mile an hour speed witji its throttle only 75 per cent openf SHELBY MAY GET ADDITIONAL MAIL SERVICE, REPORT Additional City Delivery For Some Time Now. Will Need Better Sidewalks. Twenty-five or more blocks in the city of Sht.by are being accorded city, mail delivery now and have been for a week or so, according to ! an announcement irom the oifice j Postmaster Quinn Just how many j homes and business houses are being ; served by the additional delivery ■ service granted by the postal de- [ partment cannot be ascertained as , yet Territory securing the mail deliv- J ery is that part of South Shelby below the railroad, east Shelby in ' the Belvedere and Lineberger street section. West Shelby along Clegg, Gardner and other streets. and North Shelby out the extension of Washington tnd LaFayette streets. P. E. McSwain is the new auxil iary carrier and nowr assists the oth er carriers in serving the new terri tory. In most instances it is said that portions of the new territory have been added to the routes of die old carriers. Mr. McSwain has been a sub-carrier for some time. In discussing the incident Post master Quinn stated that upon his last investigation he found that not more than 50 per cent of the homes in the new territory had placed j numbers on the houses and recep- ! tacles for the mail. This is required by the department for delivery and it is urged that those who have not followed the ruling do so at once. Additional Service. It was also stated by springiime Shelby may be given additional city delivery to cover sections of the city not touched now. However, before doing so it is said that there must be better side walks. A wider city delivery would have been secured when the new service was put on if sidewalk con ditions had been better. The de partment, Mr. Quinn says, does not require concrete sidewalks, but does require that the carrier not have to walk in the road. With the exten ion of a few sidewalks, either gravel or paved, the hope is expressed by postal officials here that Shelby may get a near full city delivery in 1928. Plain Old Jones Has Got The Goods The following editorial from the Brevard News will be of interest locally because Mr. Jones is a na tive of Cleveland county, son of A. B. Jones of Lattimore. Ho was formerly superintendent of schools at Henrietta and Caroleen: Prof J. B. Jones, superintendent of Brevard high school, sent no ad vance notices of his past achieve ments or future possibilities. He employed no band to announce his coming, and made no boast of his speed. High school pupils, however, are broadcasting the fact that he is a real principal. We have a nigh school here in Brevard, and you can tell it to the blooming world that it is a real school. There’s work be ing done down there on Broad street —the kind of work that means some thing. So far as Principal Jones is con cerned, there is but one object in view down there—and that is school work. And the beauty of it all is the fact that the boys and girls like this new order of things. They’ve caught the spirit of sincerity and the vision of achievement, and they are learning things now. A splendid faculty, working with cloCk-like precision under the lead ership of a real school principal, is making history in Brevard this t ear. For all of which we are truly grate ful. Spartanburg Fair Opens Tuesday 25th The. Spartanburg county fair opens on Tuesday, October 25th, and continues through Friday. Oc tober 28th. Mr. Paul V.

Gardner Tells Kiwanians Europe Filled With Hate Morons, Imbeciles In Public Schools Raleigh.—North Carolina has "approximately 5,000 children ranging from low grade morons to high-grade imbeciles trying j to be educated in county and public schools of the state," Dr. IV. tl. Dixon, superintendent of Caswell training school says in an article in the October issue of Public Welfare Progress. Dr. Dixon based his figures, said, on replies to letters he sen county school heads. "Quite a number of these chil dren," he said, "do not make grades at all. Few reach the sec ond or third grade, then become repeaters. A few reach the fourth grade rather imperfect ly" To meet the situation Dr. Dix on proposes that this class "could he taught in state schools if teachers properly prepared to teach this particular type of children." FlCfflil PUIS SKIDS III CORSET MARKET Downward Sales Trend Caused by Milady's Stays Being •Parked." Boston—Milady has been "park ing” her corsets as the result of the fickle decrees of Dame Fashion and a general downward trend of sales in the last six years has followed. The research department of the New England council obtained this information with the domestic com merce division. United States- de partment of commerce in a Joint survey of this industry. It was discovered that in 1923 New England produced thirty-one per cent of the country’s value of pro ducts i $78,048,000» a decrease from forty-three per cent in 1914. Massachusetts’ share was six per cent and Connecticut’s twenty-five per cent. Sales Fall Off. “It is notable ”, said the report of the survey” that only one of the companies reporting in a survey con ducted by the United States depart ment of commerce in cooperation with the New England council has in recent years developed a new pro duct sufficient to offset this change in demand." Sales of reporting companies in this industry (which dates from the Civil War is confined to Massachu setts and Connecticut) chopped off fourteen per cent in 1923, one per cent in 1924 and two per cent in 19?’'. Only seventeen per cent of total sales are made in New England and no increases are reported In New England and no increases are report ed in New England sales. New York is the chief market, al though sales are made all over the ; United States. Export business in 1925 was carried on by half of the companies, the proportion sent aboard ranging from one per cent to thirty per cent. Average age of plants is thirty three years, and of the present man agement. twenty. One-fourth of the plants have changed their manage ment. and these concerns all date from the Civil war period. Labor conditions and nearness to market have been the predominant reasons for locating in this section. The chief raw materials, whicn are cloth, steel and elastic are purchas ed almost entirely in New England. The report said further that 65 per cent of the workers are paid on a piece work or other incentive wage basis, a ration which is high as com pared with that in fnany other New ; England industries. All but one com ) pany use such methods. Mauney Appointed Receiver. Of Mill Kings Mountain, Oct. 19.—The Mason cotton mill, of this city has been placed in the hands of the re ceivers. The petition was made by M. L. Plonk for the creditors, and W. K Mauney was named as tem porary receiver. John C. Mason, president, treasurer and buyer and C. B. Carpenter, secretary, are the officials of the defunct textile plant which made the assignment. It was said that the mill was capital ized at $300,000 with a total in debtedness of approximately $175. 000 and common and preferred stock amounting to $115,000 out standing'. The mill has 10.000 spin dles. It was reorganized in 1918 under the present management, following a former financial set back. Three Klwanls Clubs Hear of Shel by Man's Tour and European Hatreds. The hearts of 125 Kiwanians swelled with gratitude for being privileged to live in America when Lnf.y heard Max Gardner apeak on Thursday night at the Isothermal hotel in Rutherfordton at a gather ing of Kiwanians from Shelby, Ma rion and Rutherfordton. "The acid of hate has corroded the heart of Europe” he told his listeners when iie made a contrast between Amer ica and Europe as the most outstand ins observation on his trip. Said he: “I tried to study the basic causes of European hatreds* and I reached the definite conclusion that they re sult largely from geographical iso lations dating back uncounted cen turies. The Reason. “The reason lor this is that they never knew each other in the forma tive period of their racial existence. The Alps mountains and other great barriers prevented transporta tion, communication, social contacts and friendly intercourse. Each settlement, said Mr Gard ner. developed a different language and a divergent philosophy. “These differences rapidly devel oped into antagonisms, hatred and wars. Today the frontiers of each.na tion from little Switzerland, that has not suffered a war in 600 vears to Russia, that empire of misery, abrtstle with suspicion, distrusts and bayonets. "Switzerland, which is about the size of ten North Carolina counties is divided into three regional groups one speaking French exclusively, an other German and the third Ital ian, How grateful, I was reminded, we should be in America that we are free from such dangerous geograph ical and social divisions. "We have our prejudices and they are keen. We are not free from in tolerance and bigotry, but our fond ness for hale, thank God, has never been fully developed. .... Such conditions in Europe. Mr. Gardner pointed out, are largely products of history and environ ment America is likewise the result of the identical forces, he added op erating on "our national life." < "If America had been discovered in 1092, instead of 1492, I am con vinced that we would not know the meal ing of wha‘ we are happy to call the United States of America,” Mr Gardner continued. •The easterners would have spok en one language, those of Texas, Cal ifornia and the great west another, while New Orleans would have been the intellectual and business center o' still a third people, not related by blood or marriage to the others. "We can' not fully appreciate America until we visit Europe. Just suppose that every time you took a trip to South Carolina, Virginia or Tennessee, you had to be stopped at the border, searched, suspected anc| detained. Yet that is what happens every time you pass from one small state in Europe to anothei. and this relates to commerce as well as to persons." 40 From Shelby. Forty members of the local club weht up from Shelby, 25 came from Marion and the full Rulherlordtou membership was present. Miss Dil lard, violinist and Miss Julia' Bur ton. pianist from Marion offered a i.umber of delightful musical num bers. Highs Off To Play Queen City Eleven Good Band of Supporters Go Along: For Season Hardest Grid Battle this P. M. Coaches Casey Morris and Tiiden Falls left Shelby shortly after noon today with the Shelby High foot ball squad for the big game of the pre-series season this afternoon the speedy aggregation, will take on the widely heralded Charlotte eleven coached by Jack Caldwell. Neither eleven has been licked so far this year..Shelby has not been scored on and Charlotte has in only one game. Advance dope from the Charlotte region' is that Shelby is doomed to defeat by three to four touchdowns. Hereabouts loyal fans have other ideas. Locally it is said "two touchdowns, and maybe three. Not more.” Anyway, the outcome should be known by 6 o'clock. The two teams have been heated rivals for years and quite a number of fans accompanied the boys to Charlotte. Coach Morris before leav ing did not give out his line up and would make no predictions aDOUt the outcome. "A coach doesn’t know how he is going to come out. My el even hasn't been in a game this year where their strength was really tested, but they will today and aft er today we can tell more what ;hey can. or cannot do.” Next week the Highs play Hick ory at Hickory—that is, if the elim ta nt ion series does not start tna| week.
