Camp Makes Seven And Half Bales On A Six Acre Tract One of the best yields of cotton reported in Cleveland county was Bade by Q. T. Camp on the Max Gardner farm. Seven and a half baler, cn six acres is Mr. Camp's record He kept accurate account of all fertilizer used and of the pick ing!, and ginnings and when the crop was finally harvested last week he had gathered 9,811 pounds of ■ seed cotton. Using 1.300 pounds of seed cotton for each bale, he had seven bales with a surplus of 711 pounds which made more than a half bale. One cf the fine things about this cotton is that Mr. Camp used im proved seed and the lint was an inch ■®d a sixteenth long. When it was sold Saturday it brought twenty cents per pound. Some people are of the opinion that cotton land should be rotated. The splendid record which Mr. Camp made on six acres was on land that had been planted in cotton con tinuously for thirty years. He used en the six acre tract 2,400 pounds of fertilizer and 600 pounds of soda.

Recall Move Dies With Election Board Petitions Lack Required Number Of Signers, Said Of 788 Signers Only 455 Were De clared Qualified Voters. 603 Names Were Required Shelby is not to have a recall election for the purpose of se curing the scalp of the present city administration—that is, by the recent recall movement, which has for several weeks been “the talk of the town.” Yesterday the Cleveland County | Board of Elections closed shop on j the recall movement and announced j that to date it \va* a failure. For some time it has been apparent that | the first step in the recall movement | was doomed to failure but the offi j cial sentence was not passed until late yesterday when a signed state ; ment was handed a Star reporter by I the election board. 154 Names Shy The twelve petitions as checked with the registration books revealed, j according to the board, that 154 names were lacking to make possible the callihg of the election as re quired by law. The twelve petitions, it is said, bore the names of 788 peo i pie, 455 of which were qualified voters. A check of the registration book by the board showed that at the last -election the registration of the city was 2,437. According to law such a petition to secure a special election must be signed by twenty five per cent of the total registra tion.- One-fourth of the total regis tration would be 609, or 154 ntimes more than were found to be quali fied signers of t. e petitions. Was Recall Idea. The twelve petitions turned over j to the election board did not ask for a recall election, but requested a preliminary step that would lead to a recall. The petitions asked for a special election for changing the city government to contain initiative referendum and recall privileges, which if successful would have oeen followed by a direct recall election, | it was said, aimed at Mayor W. N. Dcrsey and his four aldermen. As it is now, unless nothjng else develops, Mayor Dorsey and 1ms "city lathers" are the winners of a tilt in which so far as is known ; they did no fighting and let the j matter take its course. Whether or not another move will be made could not be learned today and just wh'at steps could be taken to re- i new a recall idea is not known, there being some confusion and con troversy as to the movement de clared dead yesterday by the elec tion board. About all that seems definite in the board's statement is that the recent movement was a failure. The statement came after several different meetings of the board at which Bynum Weathers and D. P. Byers, members of the board, checked the petitions as re quired by law. The twelfth petition was only recently turned in and the statement came after the final peti tion was checked and placed *ide by side with the 11 formerly check ed. The statement The statement issued by the elec tion board follows and speaks for itself: “We, the members of the Cleve land County Board of Elections, have carefully checked over the reg istration book of the town of Shelby and by our count we find that 2. 437 persons were registered at the last election, held May 2, 1927. "According to law a petition for a special election on the change in form of government must be signed by one-fourth the nuumber of regis tered voters. One-fourth of the reg istration is found by us to be 609. Twelve petitions, containing the names of several hundred signers, asking for this board to call an election for the purpose of chang ing Shelby’s form of government to contain initiative, referendum and recall privileges— with the intention we understand of making possible a recall election—have been filed with the board, and we, the members of the board after a careful count and check of the petition signers with those names on the registration books find that only 455 of the peti tion signers are qualified voters. Therefore, according to law, the petition for the special city election does not bear enough signers to make it legal to call such an elec tion, lacking the required number of qualified signers by 154. With as careful check as possible, both on Move Against Him Fails .. 1 Mayor W. N. Dorsey. the registration books and petitions, and with fairness to all. the Cleve land County Election board now denies the request of the petition be cause of its failure to measure fhe strength required by law before ,uch an election may be called. "The twelve petitions bore 783 names. 455 of which were qualified to sign by law and 333 not so quail- j fied.

BYERS, Secretary.” HIGH STABS MAY j PLAY IN CONTEST Two stars on ‘Casey' Morris' Shel- j by High football eleven have receiv ed wires from Lexington asking if I they would be willing to play with an All-State high school eleven in a football game with Oak Ridge on New Years eve provided they are picked on the mythical team. The two players are Laymon Beam, Shelby’s scoring ace, and Joe Sin gleton, big tackle. Some time back Lexington people offered to entertain the team picked by Byrd for All-State for a week’s practice with the Lexington coach, Murray Greason, for a game with the prep school champs. It is esti mated there that the assembly of the 11-outstanding stars of the state into a team would draw i big crowd. The two local boys, it is sur mised. have a good chance of being gamed on the mythical outfit and would likely play in the game, it is thought. Coach Morris says he has no objections to any of his noys playing if they are picked on star team. Basketball Starts At High “Tin Can” The high school basketball season formally got underway here Monday afternoon when Coaches Morris and Falls issued a call for candidates. Among those out for the High quint this year are Gold, Beam, Wall, Mc Swain, Cline, Grigg, Bridges, W son, Harris, Washburn, Suttle. Coble, Morehead, Smith, Sparks and oth ers. In the list of candidates are only two regular varsity players of last year's quint—Gold, center, and Beam, forward. Wall. Grigg. Bridges and Coble, however, were on the squad last year and will prove val uable this year. McSwain and Cline are both experienced court perform ers and along with several of the other new candidates will make a strong bid for a berth on the varsity quintet. The first game of the season will likely be played here on Friday, December 9, wdth two games on the following week, it is said. The girls team will likely start the season with a game in the “tin can’’ this week. Mr. Bill Pendleton of Chapel Hill was a week end visitor. Dying Negro Fell to Street Near Star Office Last Night. Slayer Afraid of the Dark. As a result of a row last night over the rent of the house in which they both lived, Javan Smith, negro youth, is awaiting burial, and Walter Gordon, an other negro boy, is in jail await ing trial for fatally cutting Smith. The fatal scuffle originated in the alley to the rear of Heavy’s cafe and had a semi-climax on Marion street near The Star office, where the dy ing negro fell to the sidewalk and bled profusely as a crowd gathered around prior to rushing him to the hospital in an ambulance. The negro died about 20 minutes after being taken to the hospital, three main arteries in his neck having been severed, it was said Afraid of Dark. Last night shortly after he was informed that his victim was dead, Gordon, the slayer, evinced all the superstition of his race as he begged Sheriff Logan not to turn out the light in his cell. “Don’t turn out the light. I believe I'll die too," the ter rified negro pleaded between sobs. Several officers were standing in front of the city hall about 6:30 when the wounded negro dashed out The Star alley and up to the officers exclaiming “a boy cut me.” The blood at the time was streaming from the wound in his neck and the^ officers urged the youth to rush toj a drugstore. As he started away running he stumbled on the curb Just in front of the Newton & New ton law office arid fell to the side walk. His life’s blood gushed from the severed arteries and formed a big pool about the body before the ambulance arrived, a colored friend holding up his head as the dying negro was questioned as to who cut nim. “Walter Gordon cut me", the negro gasped as his lungs filled ,vith blood, and officers immediately started a search. A call to naul Webb's drug store, where Gordon worked, revealed tnat he tvas there, and just as the ambulance arrived to take Smith to the hospital, Gor don walked up to Policeman Mc Bride Poston and gave up. tendering the pocketknife with which he in flicted the fatal wounds. Admitted Cuttingg. “What did you cut him lor?" the officer asked. "He was beating me and I done gone and cut him when he jumped on me," the youth replied as he as sumed that stoical attitude of the negro race when in trouble. “He hit me up there with a knife or some thing and said he was gona git me," the boy continued as he pointed to a bruise near his eye. Information is that the two had an argument at the bakery several nights back about the house rent, the dead negro having been employ ed by the bakery. Shortly after six o'clock yesterday evening they got together again and exchanged words or passed blows, and a few minutes later “when he started to get on me,again near Heavy’s I cut him." according to the negro youth in jail. Other information is that the dead 1 egro had stripped off his coat and \vi.s going info the fray in the old time fashion when his adversary whipped out the pocket knife and starred 'stabbing. There were four stabs about the negro’s body, it is said. One on the right side of the neck, which was the fatal one, the arteries in the neck being cut. The other stabs were through the ribs to the lung and in the back and shoulder. Gordon did not seem to be very perturbed wnen he gave up to the officers, apparently thinking that he had not inflicted dangerous wounds. But when he was told that Smith was dead his demeanor changed and he became terrified. Trial on Soon, A preliminary hearing will be given Gordon right away, it is un derstood. Police Chief A. L. Rich ards stated this morning that he would likely serve a warrant on Gor don in jail today and arrange for a preliminary just as soon as conven ient. Likely there will be little to the preliminary other than the bind ing over of the young negro to Su perior court. The slayer and the dead negro were apparently about the same age, around 25 years or less and both were well known in Shelby, having worked as delivery boys and cooks with various firms.

Elte speaks Tryhsli, Japanese, Fiend and , anish t CRASH Qf AUTOS Mrs. Laura Prince, of South Caro lina, Has Hip Broken in Brushy Creek Collision. Reports from the Shelby hospital j stated that Mrs. Laura Prince, of South Carolina, who was injured in an auto crash on Brushy Creek I bridge Monday evening, was “about: the same." Mrs. Prince, who was se- j riously injured, has been in the local hospital since the crash. The injured woman, who was rid ing with her son, J. M. Prince of Hendersonville, is about 79 years of age, it is said, and as her hip was broken in the crash and she was otherwise injured her condition is regarded as somewhat serious. According to reports here the Prince car, occupied by the injured woman, her son. two other women and another man, was coming cast along Highway 20 when a stream of cars was met on the Brushy Creek bridge, just a few miles west of ■ Shelby. Mr. Sam Morrison, of Shel by, was driving in the opposite di rection, towards Mooresboro, and just behind his car was a car said to oe driven by Mr. R. D. Hord, of Boiling Springs. In some manner the Hendersonville car and the Morrison car collided and the Hord car, it is said, struck the Morrison car from the rear. The aged woman was hurl ed from the car, it is said, and re ceived the severe injury—the break ing of her hip—in the fall. Just how the cars collided and the cause of the collision has not been definitely ascertained, The Star is told. There were two cars in the Hen dersonville party, but other than a shake-up it is said no one else was injured to any extent. At the hos pital it is said that Mrs. Prince in addition to having her right hip broken was also cut about the eye and bruised. Her son, J. M. Prince, was also bruised about the chest and legs, according to hospital officials. The cause and incidents leading to the wreck will likely be determin ed when there is further change in the condition of the injured woman, it is thought. —Cheese Champion—The local yard has a joke. We hear of cake eaters amongst movie /oik, but here in our midst, according to the joke on the “yard” is a champion cheese eater. His name is "Bill” Spencer. Bill, on a bet, it is said, ate a hunk of cheese Wednesday morning, land very early at that>, big enough to sink a rowboat. Estimates' of thte size of the morsel ranged all the way from a pound to five pounds. Arrangements were made to take •Bill” to the hospital following the gastronomic feat, but at this writing he was still going strong. The taxi drivers paid for the meal. Mrs. Bessie Gray, accompanied by her mother, Mrs. Emily Jones,and “Shi” spent the week-end with friends in Hickory. Shelby Folks Will Send Santa On Good Mission Santa’s Stocking Already Filling Up For Poor Children Of City. Contributions To Star’s Charity Fund. Santa's stocking for the unfortun ate children of Shelby is starting to fit! up. To date it has near $30 in. it as a starter for a campaign that will take the Christmas spirit into the homes of the city's needy Suppose you help fill the stock ing? This year Shelby’S Christmas charity fund is being handled through The Star and at the end of the campaign the fund is to be turned over to a committee headed by the welfare officer for dislriou tion among the unfortunates. J B Smith, welfare officer, is now mak ing a survey of the city. and by Christmas week he will know just where the Christmas fund is most needed. Money contributed to the fund will not be used for buying or dinary gift trinkets, but will be used to buy clothing and food for children who have no one to provide for them and for widows who are not able to provide their own Christ mas for their fatherless children. Need Your Help. Outwardly the coming Yuletide should be one of the most Joyous ever experienced in Shelby, but here and there about the city there are homes where disease and death has stalked, where there is no provider and little likelihood of a call from St. Nicholas on Christmas eve. Think how your children would feel on Christmas morning were circum stances such that* they would wake up and find empty stockings? Many a tousle-haired youngster, who does not have sufficient cloth ing to protect his little body, will end his Christmas J?ve “Now I lay me down to sleep" with a plea for a toy to gladden his Christmas day. Fate will likely rule that the prayer will never be answered as to the toy, but if Shelby's heart is where it should be he will find a pair of shoes and warm clothing by his bed side Christmas morn. It's not what someone else does, but it's up to you if scores of such tots draw a blank Christmas morn ing, or have their lives gladdened a bit when life seems darkest—and a Christmas without a Santa is about the darkest period in life for a youngster. You were young yourself. Why not fill The Star’s Santa stocking to overflowing? Make vour contribution today. SANTA S STOCKING Add your name to the next list. Early givers to the fund are: R. T.

Max Gardner before the Shelby 1 Rotary club yesterday in giving a series of impressions received while in Italy, of Benito Mussolini and his transformation of that country. " "In America one of our funda mental boasts is that we as individ uals enjoy the right to have an opin ion and will fight for that privilege, which does not necessarily mean that we will fight for the right of holding an opinion." Mr. Gardner de clared. "In Italy the right of an individual to hold an opinion is de nied by Mussolini, and therein lies Mussolini's weakness, if he has a weakness, for this curb on the | thoughts and opinions of a people cannot help but prove detrimental in the long run. I believe that in the course of time a government such as ours—and the Italian and Amer ican governments are now outstand ing and of two types—will reveal its real superiority over that of Mus solini." Mr. Gardner during the course of his talk sketched the very inter esting history of the Italian dictator, terming it one of the most unusual careers known to the w-orld. That Mussolini could not have staged such a transformation in any country other than Italy, Mr. Gardner ad mitted. but the improssion that Mussolini is just a fortunate pawn of circumstances is erroneous in the Shelby man's mind, for in the early years of his foothold Mussolini re vealed the master mind and skill for organization that has since mark- t ed his success. The Rotary meeting held Tuesday was for the purpose of making up the postponed meeting of Thanks giving week.

In all of hjs dealings he 'was honest and upright. His Judg ment was sound and he enjoyed the confidence of all people for his word was his bond. While he was quiet in his manner, he was never slothful in business but continued a fervent Christian, serving the Lord in his own quiet way.
