WaSKING NOW ON GLEVEUm LIKE HORTH OF HOTEL Will Dam Six-Acre This Week, Pri vate Lake of Linberger and Thompson Construction work on what prom ises to be one of the most beautiful spots in this section of the state— the private lake of J. D. Lineberger and Carl Thompson near Cleveland Springs—is moving along rapidly now. Some time this week the owners of the lake property hope to plug the lake channel at the big dam. Within a short time thereaft er the lake bed will be fully pre pared for the filling up period, which will take about 10 weeks, it is said. On Old Site Some time back it will be remem bered that Messrs. Lineberger and Thompson purchased the large wooded tract above Highway 20 and north of the Cleveland Springs hotel and announced that they in tended building a private lake and two residences on the property. Those who have not visited the site of the lake have missed one of the most enchanting scenic views near Shelby. In the younger generation there are only a few who know the spot north of the highway and hid by the wooded hills. Near a hall century ago there was an old-time mill dam and wheel several hundred yards north of the present highway and the major portion of the old dirt dam remains, on which trees have now fully grown. In damming th* lake nothing is necessitated other than the plugging of the channel and renovating the old dam, which now resembles a natural knoll. Workmen are now constructing a large concrete flume, running from one end of the lake to the other which will be used as an outlet to preserve a dear -water laha at ail times. The lake bed proper, a na ■ tural bowl set amid a surrounding ; covey of, hills covered with stately | pines and oaks, covers about six acres. The lake outline has been cleared and is now being burned over and sanded. To keep it as a fresh water lake the sides will be rocked and sodded in addition to the big flume running from one end of the lake to the other. When the lake dam is completed a series of driveways running from the Westfield road in Cleveland Springs estates and from Highway 20 and Highway 206 will be con structed, one driveway crossing the dam, which is about 50 feet wide at the bottom. The lake frontage property owned by Thompson and Lineberger fronts on the Westfield road and at this point the lake owners plan to build twro handsome residences in the spring, the resi dences to face Westfield road on the front and overlooking the “ake through a wooded vista in the rtar. Many people who do not realize what a beautiful setting there is be hind the wooded strip along the highway would be well repaid by the beauty of the lake site to be seen by a visit. Burrus To Practice In Supreme Court Information has just been receiv ed here by Attorney Charles A. Bur rus that his brother. John W. Bur rus, was admitted to practice before the Supreme court of the United States in Washington, D. C., on Oc tober 31, last. John is a graduate of the Shelby Hign school, and spent part of two years thereafter at Trinity college, now Duke university. During the summer of 1918 he entered the U. S. army and was assigned to the field artillery central officer’s train ing school, at Camp Taylor, Ky., where he remained until signing of the armistice. He spent three years thereafter in the law school of George Washington university and the National University School of law, from which latter institution he was graduated with the degree of LL.B. in June of 1925. He was ad mitted to practice in North Carolina at the fall term, 1925, of our state Supreme court, and was sworn in before Judge Jas. L. Webb at Ashe ville, a few weeks later. Immediately thereafter he received appointment to the legal division of the biu eau of internal revenue, Washington, D. C., where he has since been em ployed. Boston should be grateful to Chic ago.

CUE SERVICE over mimic or NEXT YEAR British Air Experts Are Startled by Statement of Director General London.—The first regular At lantic air service may be in opera tion next summer under the auspices of the British government. This announcement, which has startled air experts here, was made by Air Vice Barshall Sir Sefton ; Brancker, director general of the English civil aviation, during an address here in which he revealed that two airships, each capable of carrying one hundred passengers, wguld be ready “probably for some sort of service to Canada" next sum mer. The service, according to Sir Sef ton, will be in the nature of an ex periment for the purpose of gather ing data for the proposed airship route from England to Australia. In order to secure the assistance of trade winds, their route will prob ably be via Bathhurst, on the West African coast, and the Azores. It is hoped that the airships will have a cruising speed of seventy knots. Sir Sefton anevoted a good part of his address to an appeal for heavier subsidies for the building of air ships declaring that the airship was pregnant with great possibilities. He painted a picture of a time when distant continents would be I come as neighbors, and declared that the airship wpuld be the main medium through which this would be brought about. Within the next ten years, ana possibly within the next five, ac cording to Sir Sefton, airplanes and airships will be able to reduce the flying time from London to Austra lia from 17 days to seven and a half days. Similiarly a journey to Cape Town, now mapped out to take ten days, would be done in four and a half days. Giving his reason for this reduc tion in flying time, he said that as aircraft improved and ground or ganization became less and less necessary, the air routes would be come more and more direct, until they got to a point when flying boats would fly from the west coast of Ireland to New Foundland on a direct compass course. Britain's plans for the future, he said, were concentrated on three ob jectives: A through connection be tween London, Melbourne and India; a branch service through Cairo, with some flying points in the Mediter ranean, through Central Africa to Cape Town; an airship service in some direction, probably to Canada. Shelby Boy Named On All-State Team Friends here of Hugh Arrowood, son of Mr. and Mrs. L. U. Arrow wood, note with interest that he was selected as an end on the All-state football eleven picked by Greens boro News. Arrowood played his last game against Duke at Davidson Sat urday, being for thre years one of the outstanding performers on the Davidson eleven. He was mentioned in several other selections for two years straight. In addition to his gridiron prowess young Arrowood is the president of the Davidson stu dent body and one of the most pop ular students there. I Christmas Fund Opens This Week The Star's Christmas Stock ing Fund, for the purpose of taking Christmas into the homes of Shelby’s unfortun ates, will be opened this week. Shelby people who'wish to di vide their Yuletide season with those who will apprecl ite it and really need it are urg ed to contribute early. The committee handling the fund will want some time to prepare for their own Christmas. Every cent will be spent for necessities—such as clothing, shoes and food—and distribut ed by the welfare officer and his committee in homes where investigation., reveals— that there is real need. Contribu tions may be left at The Star office. What., individual, or organization, will top the list? Kick By Pony Will Cost Boy His Eye Ernest McGinnis Kicked in Eye, Which is Removed. Lawndale Youth Injured in Wreck Ernest McGinnis, young son < f J. W. McGinnis, of Shelby R-3, will likely lose his right eye as the re sult of being kicked by a pony last week, it was reported from the Shelby hospital today. According to reports McGinnis and other boys were riding or play ing with the pony when the pony kicked him in the eye, so damaging the eye that removal of the ball was necessitated, or will be, according to the hospital. Hurt in Wreck Carrol Beam, 17, son of Frank Beam, of the Lawndale section, was brought to the hospital Sunday night for treatment of head injuries received in an automobile mishap. The Injuries, it is said, are not con sidered serious. A colored woman was also brought to the hospital for treatment a ter being injured in an automobile wreck. Local Boys Likely To Play In Contest Acccording to news dispatches from Lexington a plan is on foot there to take the selected All-State high school eleven and have it .play Oak Bidge prep school in Lexing ton on New Year’s Day. Lexington people have agreed to take the high school boys picked on the mythical All-State eleven and keep them in their homes from Christmas until New Year so that they may be trained by Murray Greason. Lex ington coach, for the clash with the prep school champs of the Carohnas. Such an aggregation of stars would draw a large football crowd as no All-State high school eleven has been assembled on one field. There is a likelihood that one Shelby High player, if not two. might be selected on Byrd's so-call ed official pick from Chapel Hill. General opinion is that Laymon Beam, star Shelby back who has played his last year, will be an All State back, with the additional like lihood that at least one Shelby line player may be picked. Beam, in cidentally, is being mentioned as an | All-Southern half back. Every normal ear of corn ha.; an even number of rows of grain. If one doubts this, let him count the rows on a thousand ears. Santa Claus Day Speeds Shoppers With leu than four weeks to go, bank accounts and porketbooks in Shelby and Cleveland rounty are already receiving stunning blows. The ballyhoo advance of Santa Claus, peer of sales man, has already arrived and tempting Christmas displays are already drawing prospec tive customers to display win dows and heavily stocked shelves. Toys, trinkets, gifts—valu able and enticing—candies, fruits, nuts, red-berried holly. Christmas in the air!

Note: As you begin pre paring the Christmas shop ping list remember that the best gifts and the best Yule Udc bargains are listed three times each week in the ad vertising columns of The Star, where Shelby merchants make shopping more convenient and economical for their patrons. WOULD HE THE MIL MIIL BOIES LThe Star is in receipt of the fol wing contributions from Mr. J. hane Putnam of the Zoar commun ity, one of the county's most public Spirited citizens which should inter est the patrons on every rural route in Cleveland county for The Star will duplicate his proposition on ev*ry route in the county. "Every frog has a right to croak for his own pond, even if it is as jjry as a chip. That being true I want to say that George Dover is thfe best mail carrier in the U. S. To help George out a little, let us put up nice handy places to deliver mail. To the man or men putting up the best place I will gixe 6 months sub scription to The Star, a bench with several boxes will be counted as one contestant. The time given to put up boxes will expire January 2, 1028. George and Mrs. Dover will be the ones to say which box gets the subscription. "Things to consider a good easy place to get to. the right height, on the proper side of the road, sub stantial so it will not rattle and wiggle about when it is opened. Ap pearance will mean fifty points. The prize may look small, but you owe it to faithful George, besides it will look better and give passing strangers a better idea of you, and your community. “P. S. get you some stamps so your carrier will not have to make change and lick stamps during the winter." (Editor's Note: Mr. Putnam's proposition is so noteworthy, The Star agrees to make the same prop osition for each rural route in Cleve land county, provided the route be gins at a postoffice within the coun ty. The carrier on the route is to be the judge in each instance. It is hoped that the patrons will take an interest in thia matter which has been urged for sometime by the U. S. Postoffice department and its various employes. The Star hopes that each rural route patron will first put his or her name on the letter box. Tt is important to the public to know where people live and a great con venience in identifying patrons with their homes.) COTTON MARKET (By Jno. F.

Moderate business in Worth street Saturday, the more important mills are holding their quotations steady and rejecting lower bids. New Bed ford reports spots still very dull.

The mills will not buy except on a scale down. Speculation is largely of, the routine sort. A flip may come to the market from some unforseen quarter but the general sentiment among the rank and file here is bearish un til something happens to give the market an uplift.” • HUBBY ID WIFE HELD FOB BOOZE CHARGE ON BOTH Bob Kendrick Says Wife Warded Him Off with Shotgun.

Material Prosperity Has Never Been So Equally Distributed Declares Gardner. Mr. Quinn Talks. “Never before have all citizens en joyed such material prosperity as. this year, declared Max Gardner speaking yesterday at the First Bap tist church at the Thanksgiving serv ice at which not only Baptists were present but many members of other denominations. The occasion was a Thanksgiving service at which an other collection was taken fdr the Baptist orphanage at Thomasville. Already e special harvest season of l ferffl)FlFilftre than thousand dol lars has been taken. It is hoped to raise the amount to $2,000. 19$ New Members. Mr. J. H. Quinn, chairman of the board of deacons points out a dozen or more blessings which had come to the church during the year, one of the most notable of which has been an Increase of 196 in the church's membership as a result of the untiring efforts of the pastor, Dr Wall and the revival by Dr. Scar borough. During the past two years the church has witnessed 350 acces sions. But speakihg of the material pros perity Mr. Gardner declared that Cleveland's cotton crop this year will reach approximately 45,000 bales, and that the yield per acre is the best of any county in the s*ate. Johnson, the largest producing coun ty in the state, had 97,000 acres in cultivation and Cleveland 65,000 acre§, yet Cleveland is only 3,000 bales behind Johnson. Cleveland is knocking at the door of leadership and in addition to cotton has made a bountiful .crop of corn as Clyde Hoey recently stated at the Kiwanis club “enough molasses to sop ’til Kingdom come." Cleveland nas never naa a Dana failure, a record which few counties can approximate, declared Mr. Gard ner, but turning from the material he declared the citizenship of Cleve land to be unequalled, unsurpassed and unexcelled anywhere. Not a cot ton mill has stood idle, labor has been employed, the soU has yielded abundantly and God has blessed us as never before. For these blessings the people should be thankful and generous, especially to the orpnans and the widows, whom God has told us to remember in their affliction. "We can only hold this good for tune a little while and our help to others should not be withheld,” de clared Mr. Gardner. Miss Mundy Wins Popularity Contest Miss Ouida Mundy won out in the popularity contest put on by Mr. and Mrs. Coronith of the Elks charity fund of New’ York, and was crown ed “Miss North Carolina” at the Elks club luncheon by Colonel Kirkpat rick in Charlotte Saturday evening.

Only one county, Johnson, Is » head of Cleveland In North Carolina In the production of cotton this year, according to the gin figures is sued last week by the census bu reau of the U. 8. Department of Agriculture. Cleveland ginned up to November 14th, a tot^l of 38,987 bal es as compared with 34,038’twles up to the same date a year ago. The to tal crop for Cleveland county last year was 47,580 bales. It has been freely predicted that the crop this year will reach 46.000 bales. Other estimates are slightly under or above this figure, but at any rate it has been a profitable crop because it was made with less expense and the price has been very satisfactory to the growers. ' Some had hoped that Cleveland would lead all the counties in the state in cotton this year and for awhile it bid fair to establish this record because of the weevil damage and other troubles in the big cotton producing counties in the central and easteifi part of the state, such as Harnett, Robeson, Nash. Scotland, Samson and Union counties. John son county will no doubt hold the, record since she ginned 42,834 bales, up to November 14th. But Johnson is a real cotton county. Last year she produced .73,143 bales and had gin ned up to Nov. 14th, 1928. a total of 55,323 boles. There has been a big drop In Johnson's crop, but Cleve land will hop up well near its rec nrri nf last, vakr ' Heretofore Cleveland has held third and fotfrtil place, moving up to this position 111-the column within the last six or eight years. Other big cotton counties ere Anson with 24,-' -aw -helee, fleniliwttliNash with 30.100. Robeson -with 37,858, Sampson with 36,100, Scotland with 23.863, Union with 27,980. Robeson will show a considerable drop this year. HOr total production last year was 60,140 bales and she had ginned a thousand bales less than Cieve-* land on November 14th, indicating that the weevil damage ihere wrought havoc with the crop this year. Rutherford bad ginned to Nov, 14th this year 0.730 bales. Lincoln 0,581, Gaston 0,171 bales. Morven Firm To Open Business Here Ingram and Lyle Secured Lease on Mrs. Hester McBrayer Double Store Room Ingram and Lyle, merchants of Morven, near Wades boro, have se cured a lease on the Mrs. Hester McBrayer double store roqm on N. LaPayette street to be vacated after the first of the year by the Camp bell Department Store which will be moved into the spacious new three story brick store room which Messrs. R. E. Campbell and Ogbura Lutz have erected adjacent the First Baptist church. Messrs. Ingram and Lyle are -mid to be the largest mercantile firm in that section of Anson county. Good roads have caused their customers to seek larger trading centers, so a change in the location of the store was agreed upon. After looking over a number of towns, the firm decided that Shelby offers the best oppor tunities as a trading center so the members of the firm came here and negotiated a lease with Mrs. Mc Brayer for the double store room. After the store room is vacated after the first of the year by the Camp-, bell Department store, the firm will move a $25,000 stock of goods here and set up in business. -;— t Mrs. Daves Dies In No. 8 Township Mrs. Annie Moore Daves, widow of the late Clemar Daves, died on Thanksgiving day at the home of her son Coy Daves in No. 8 town ship, following an illness of three days.
