Christmas Charity Fund
Aided By Little Children
Little Girl Donates Two Dills for
Children Who Have No
Parents
It seems to be nearer to a
child's heart than a grown-up’s
pockctbook—especially at the
Christmas season. Recent gifts
to The Star's Christmas Charity
fund have been featured by the
small contributions of the young
sters.
As for comparing with some of the
big checks these donations of the
youngsters are small, but to them no
doubt the sacrifice made necessary
by the gift was equal to the large
checks given by others.
Will the children outgive their el
ders?
How's This One
Yesterday the door to The Star
office cracked open and a smiting
little girl of five years pushed her
way in.
A cute little tot she was. and in
her arms were two large dolls—of
the "mamma doll” variety. With
that embarassed attitude of a polite
child in the presence of older folks,
and with eyes downcast, the little
girl walked up to the counter and
lisped out her story.
“I want to give these two dollies
for the little girls who have no papa
and mamma.”
That's all she had to say as she
sidled back to the door where her
mother waited.
But. what dolls! Any little girl’s
heart would leap with joy just to
get her hands on them. One a big
blonde, and the other of that “strik
ing brunette” type one hears so
much about. Both are talking dolls
and the very latest word in dolldom.
What a gift they will be for two lit
tle girls somewhere about the town
who never before have had more
than a rag doll, and perhaps not
that, to play with on Christmas-- the
season when the mother instinct
creeps into the heart of every little
girl and she wants a dollie to fondle.
By the way, the name of the little
girl, who so readily parted with her
big dolls so that others might en
joy them, was Margaret Jones, aged
five years, if you please, and the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Jones
of North LaFayette street.
They All Chip in
While we re on me topic oi Dig
hearted children, let's have another
story about The Star fund. Monday
a couple of eager-eyed youngsters of
the romping, let’s-rough-it-up age.
came jostling into The Star office.
From their eyes nothing but mis
. chief was evident. Surely youngsters
lot that age had not a care, much
| iess a thought of others. But they
had. Proudly they dug down in their
pockets and planked $2 up on the
counter. "This is for the Christ
mas fund and it’s from the Sixth
grade of the Marion school. Now
get that right,” and away they
! rambled: So, to get it right we place
! the Sixth Grade in capitals, if the
youngsters care to note.
And there have been several more
just like that. This time an elderly
business man. Then a mother who
finds enough change left from the
shopping expedition for her own
children to help other children.
Next perhaps a young lady. And so
on.
Such is the manner in which the
fund is growing.
Contributions up tnrough the last
issue of The Star totalled $311.95.
Since that time $27.70 has been turn
ed in. Today’s list does not include
contributions made late Tuesday and
early Wednesday. These will appear
in Friday’s paer.
Look at the calendar. In just a few
days Christmas will be here. The
fund is not half so large as it should
be, Kick in. Take your hand off your
purse and send a ray of light into
some unfortunate home and a thrill
of joy in your own soul.
In a day or so other needy cases
will be presented. Do not wait for
a sob. give gladly and take some of
the sob stories out of Shelby.

FARMS ARE GOOD
Every One of IS Tenants Make Bare

Record That is Great.
When it comes down to farming

has a group of tenants that classes

Mr. Mull, one of the county’s lead
ing farmers, had 12 tenants and ev

of cotton to the acre, or more, and
in addition produced enough feed
and food to keep the farm going
with some left over.
Taking a plantation as a whole
few better farming records are to
be found.
Two hundred and thirty-seven
bales of cotton on 220 acres not to
mention 2,400 bushels of corn, plen
ty of potatoes, meat and molasses, is
a record to be proud of.

Warning Is Given
About Punch Boards
County Solicitor P. Cleveland
Gardner today issued a warning to
store proprietors who may have or
be operating punch or draw boards.
Many store proprietors do not real
ize that punch boards, a certain type
are against the law, and salesmen,
he says, frequently impose on store
keepers by telling them boards are
not against the law.
“I am not going out searching for
punch boards, but if those who oper
ate them are brought into court I
will have to prosecute them. This
warning is for those who do not
realize that boards, which do not
give something of equal value to all
are against the law. The fine for
the offense, as I remember, is $50,”
the solicitor stated.

ON TUESDAY MORN
Loot Patterson Springs Store of Val
uable Goods. Accept Safe Jnvlte.
No Clues Found
s, ___
Store bandits seem to be up to |
their usual holiday tricks in this
county. The Lowery Brothers store
at Patterson Springs was looted early
Tuesday morning.
The plunder taken by the bandits,
who came out of the night and dis- ,
appeared again after turning the ,
trick, included a list of valuable i
merchandise, but no money. Oddly \
enough a simple little trick prevent- |
ed the bandits from carrying;
away a pile of cash with their plun- j
der. Before closing up the store i
Monday night one of the Lowery •
brothers counted out the cash, tied j
it up in a sack and tossed the sack ;
in a wastebasket. "No one wil lnotice 1
| it there,” he perhaps thought. And j
they didn't, for the little sack of i
cash a as first thing he looked for j
: when he found the door open Tues- .
j day morning, and there it was un
I touched,
U' Thpfctoot„includcd $150 to $200
worth of automobile tires, four or
five overcoats, and a quantity of
small items of merchandise which it
was impossible to check in detail for
a day or so.
A car was heard in the vicinity of
j the store about 4 o’clock Tuesday
morning and several hours later the
front door was found prized open,
and on the inside the door of the
safe, in which was kept the store
! books and postoffice stamps, was
S also found open, but with nothing
taken from the safe.
"Walk in, Mr. Burglar.”
There is a peculiar little story to
that safe of the Lowery brothers,
j “We seldom ever keep any money in
j the safe, nothing but books and pa
; pers, and since we know that thieves
! seldom care anything about books
i we hate to have a $500 safe blown
open at intervals," so says one of
i the brothers.
And with that in view the Patter
son Springs merchants some time
back hung a little calling card on
;the the safe, which read as follows:
j "Combination not on—turn lever to
| right.”
What about that? If a burgler
! thinks there is money in the safe
| he's likely to blow it up, so to pre
(vent a heavy loss from a blown-up
| safe and to save the visitors of the
! night time the card served its pur
i pose.
Tuesday reports had it that there
1 were very few clues to the store rob
j bery. The car, in w’hich it is presum
ed the bandits were traveling, drove
up on the pavement at the store so
that it was almost impossible to find
a track. Some supposition was that
the bandits might have been the
gang which staged several hold-ups
in Charlotte suburbs Sunday night.

County Seems Assured Of
Second N. C. Cotton Rank
_ j
Johnston County Holds First By 3,601 Bales. Robeson
5,210 Bales Behind Cleveland
Should Remain.
I____._
Apparently Cleveland county this j
year "has a lock” on the highest !
cotton production rank in its agri
cultural history. That ranking is
second place in North Carolina pro
duction despite the fact that the
county is rated in the :“hill section"
and not in the fertile cotton belt.
The full ginning report up to De
cember 1, shows that Johnson coun
ty still retains the lead with 43.356
bales, while Cleveland is second with
44,755 bales. There Is no likelihood
that Cleveland with only a few more
bales to gin Can overcome this 3,601
bale lead, as Cleveland county's to
tal is estimated to come close around
Johnston's present ginning. Second
place seems assured, however, be
cause Robeson, the third county,
had only 39,545 bales ginned up to
December 1. and being 5.210 bales
behind Cleveland can hardly over
take the lead. Robeson along with
two or three other counties has been
leading Cleveland for several yearn.
Many Are Lower.
Only seven counties In the state,
according to the report, had ginned
over 30,000 bales up to December 1.
These counties were: Johnston 43,
356; Cleveland 44,755; Robeson 39,
545; Nash 36,107; Harnett 34,473;
Union 32,187; Halifax 32,101.
Tops Four Counties.
The ability of Cleveland county
farmers to make cotton is shown by
the lact that Cleveland made 2.476
bales more than the total crop made
by four adjoining counties.
Rutherford up to December 1
had ginned 11,538 bales; Lincoln
11,390; Gaston 10.942, and Cata«vba
8,407. This makes a total of 42,277
bales for the four counties, whije
to the same date this county had
ginned 44,755 bales.

Kiddie In Their Letter* To Santa Claus
Want Him To Remember Little Orphan*
“.Please don't forget all
the little girls and boys that hasent
no mama or daddy for I am sorry
for them.”
That, if you read the ‘letters to
Santa’ in the last Star, was the plea
of a little girl to jolly old St. Nich
olas.. Of course, the youngster ask
ed things for herself, and will like
ly get some of them, but she also
wants Santa to see about those
youngsters who may not be so for
tunate as she.
A fine little girl with her wish.
Now' who is going to see that the
youngsters mentioned by her have a
Christmas? Have you contributed
to The Star's Christinas Charity
fund?
Another youngster wrote: “Be
sure and remember all the little or
phans and poor children.”
The tots who wrote those letters
believe to the depths of their heart
in “ol’ Santy.” Will they look about
them in Shelby, and elsewhere, oh
the day after Christmas and see
signs of children who receive no
call from Santa?
It’s up to you. Santa will do his
best, but some one has to lend a
hand in getting him around to all
the homes, especially where fate has
been none top kind.
Do your bit by chipping in on the
fund at once. You'll feel better once
I you do it.

on their right side of the highway.
At Ellenboro, where the tragedy has
shocked the entire Rutherford
town, information is that the tiuck
had broken down and had been left
by the road. About the time the
Hampton car neared the abandoned
truck, lights from a car coming the’
other way slightly blinded the girl
driver, it is said, and in the glare
and while pulling to the right the
car she was driving ploughed into
the rear of the box-like body of the
truck. , ;
A Terrible Crash.
Such was the Jmpact, reports say,
that the car shoved at least half

Hampton had been killed instantly,
his head being crushed in on one
side by the impact with the rear of
the truck. Miss Philbeck was bleed
