transaction at Hollywood. Cain , r
few days ago. in which Jackie Coo
gan. the boy movie picture actor,
paid $100,000 for 14 lots, was follow -
ed by the disclosure that the boy
film star’s realty holdings in Los
Angeles and Hollywood property, as
well as two ranches, total 1- 1-2
million dollars.
His most valuable single holding
is a $300,000 business block. In addi

group of store buildings, a residence,
1 a public garage and numerous im

millionaire befcrc he is 21. He now
is 13 years cld.

This is the screen version of one

as Camille, as shares with Camille
the honor of being the world’s great
cst love story. John Barrymore and
Dolores Costello of all the artists on
the screen are pre-eminently fitted
to present this masterpiece. It is
staged artistically and elaborately,

“The Tigress," with Jack Holt and
Dorothy Revier; Billie Dove in “The
American Beauty,” and Marion Da
vies in “Quality Street,” are at the

and Thanksgiving day. respectively.
They are excellent dramatic pic

“The Tigress," due today is gypsy
romance, beautiful and appealing in
the leisurely and colorful unfolding
ci dramatic plot, splendidly set, and
thoroughly well presented.
“The American Beauty”, with Bil
lie Dove, considered by many movie
fans to be the real American beauty,
the most comely woman on the
screen, is an exquisite picture, re
vealing a problem cf a woman’s coul

“Quality Street", announced as a

worthy of the great talent of this fa

Winners for the Turkey Day foot
ball games should be published on
Wednesday instead cl Monday, but
as Alibi Al, the dopey rtopester. is
fasting so as to be in good/trim for
the turkey he is invited out to |
dine Thursday, it is possible that he i
w id be too weak by Wednesday to j
punch his antiquated typewriter—
known in a newspaper office as a
“mill.” With such dire possibilities !
the football wizard and expert <^x- ;
cusc maker has been persuaded to
name the winners today.
Al himself is going to have a sad
afternoon Thursday as he peeks
down on the field from the David
|son -stands and sees Jankoskie and
j company presenting a pigskin skit
to be entitled “Taming of the Wild
cat,” the title being swiped some
jwhat from “The Taming of the
| Shrew” as visioned by Bill Shakes
peare. Which is to say Duke is going
to beat Davidson at home—some
thing Duke has not pulled off since
North Carolina has had paved high
ways. But Duke this year seems to
be pulling mere things than a flap
per does before she gees out for a \
walk. The score? Well, about 19-6.
‘ Since the Duke-Davidson game is
the nearest to Shelby and will draw
more fans from this section it will
be the only one to draw comment
from Al—he'll just pick the Others.
| By the way, these Shelby folks over
I at Davidson Thursday should keep

years of college football in North

FORTY TO
FIFTY
THOUSAND
BALES OF
COTTON
—It is estimated that
Cleveland County will
make forty to fifty thou
sand bales of cotton this
year. At 20c per pound,
forty, forty-five or fifty
thousand bales will put
a lot of money in our
county—and on top of
that Cleveland county
has made worlds of stuff
to eat, both for man and
beast, and thousands of
dollars have come into
the county this year
from our cows a h d
chickens. We are going
along fine—but we must
think of next year, and
the yeai's to come. So
let us keep on raising a
bale or a bale and a half
to the acre, and keep our
chickens going and our
cows, and our feed crops,
and all these things, as it
takes all these to stay on
top.
TI?IS IS A GOOD TIME
TO INVEST ONE, TWO,
THREE OR MORE
SALES OF COTTON IN
GOOD MILK COWS. We
need more and better
cows in our county, what
cows we have now have
added much wealth to
our county in the past,
not only from the pro
ducts sold for cash, but
from tlje manure, and
skim milk left on our
farms. Prosperity comes
from cows, look the
world over and you’ll
find this is true. So let
us add a few more good
cows to our farms this
year, prepare for future
years, build up a steady
• I
.ash income the year
round, and not depend
upon any one crop, which
is apt to be a failure any
year.
You have a year round
cash market for your
cream, we can handle all
you produce and pay
highest prices. So why
not buy a few more
cow's at this time and
build up a greater
monthly cash income.

Pecans In Carolina
<Ktgh Point Enii'.pri-j) •
That pcoan culture is not umia- |
tural and difficult in North Caro- :
| line is a fact that the' Nortxi Care- !
lina association of pecan grow- I
j ers is dinning into the state .; con- i
sciousness.
This state is well suited to the 1
production cf this nut, which is of
increasing food importance. The
conditions are excellent for the
! pecan in at least two-thirds of
| North Carolina, including the Pied
i mont region.
i.
Pecan trees in High Point are
producing unusually fine, large
specimens.
li, is clue, probably to the wide
spread notion ' that the pecan
grows mere successfully, in other
farther south states that the in
terest in pecans is no more general
and no stronger than it is in North
Carolina.
Those who plan orchards in tils'
Piedmont think cf the apple, peach,
pear, plum and cherry and not of
the pecan, the most richly profit
able of the let and a tree that
can be cultivated about as easily
os any of the others. v
The series of articles by Wil
liam N. Roper, of the North Carol
lina pecan society that is run
nihg in the state press, star;;-,*
yesterday, will help straighten out
the public thinking on tiiis matter
and doubtless will greatly encourage
pecan planting. If so, the article*
will do a big service.
