Bargain Week
For County On;
“Free Tickets”
Merchants Of Slielby Will Make
Week A Double Treat Fcr
Visitors.
Merchants who are coopera
ting in the Fair Week Advertis
ing Campaign ran obtain Fair
tickets from Henry Mills, at the
Kelly Clothing rompany.
The campaign launched by the
Merchants Fair Week Association
is going over with a bang. Mer
chants all over the city, from the
* smallest to the largest, are uniting
in offering special bargains for
Fair Week to attract shoppers to
the town; and are stressing the
Free-Ticket-To-F<ur feature, for a
five dollar purchase or more.
The Fair Association extended
the privilege (and courtesy) to the
merchants in an effort to bring
trade to the :l:y during the big
show.
And The Star would say to its
readers, by w-ay oi aiding to put
i over what seems to be an excellent
plan, if you have any shopping to
do (and most have) do it now. and
give the merchants a run for their
money.
they are making a special en
deavor to interest you in Fair Week
bargains. Come to Shelby, during
your spare time from the Fan
grounds and go through the stores.
This is the first endeavor of this
kind which has ever been made in
the city. If it is successful, and
it is generally believed it will be.
it will establish a preceden for oth
er trading events, featuring coopera
tive efforts to put Shelby across in
an increasingly tig way.
Big Trade Area.
The merchants, and the townspeo
ple generally, are becoming wise to
truth that it is high time Shelby
was sold to a big public. This, as
has been said, is the first step in
a general get-together campaign of
this sort.
So it may be said to be up to ,us
all to see that'it goes over with a
whoop,
Henry Mills, chairman of the Mer
chants Fair Week Association, is
entrusted with distribution of the
free tickets to the merchants. Call
oh him and get your supply. The
only question you will be asked is,
Are you cooperating in this Fair
Week Campaign?
The Star begs tc call its -eaders
attention to the cozens of adver
tisements appearing in this issue,
stressing Fair Week bargains.
And remember, for each purchase
of five dollars or more you secure
a free ticket to the Fair.
County
“All Set” For Big F

For Smith
i
Tom Dixon’s Daughter Says She Is
"Democrat Without Modifica
tion.” Crowd Cheers.
A daughter of Cleveland coun
ty's most famous pioneer Bap
tist minister came back to her
home town Saturday and, by
using the inherent speaking
qualities of a Dixon, staged a
typical Dixon revival except
that her pica was for the Dem
eratic ticket "whole.”
‘1 am a Democrat—a Democrat
without modification of any kind,”
Dr. Delia Carroll, daughter of the
late Rev. Tom Dixon, told a packed
court house as it cheered her declar
ation.
The court house five minutes aft
er Mrs. Carroll began speaking was
filled and the crowd, about sixty
per cent women, overflowed into
the balcony. From all sections of
the county they came to hear Tom
Dixon's daughter—the daughter who
left home to become a, doctor in the
days when women doctors were
curiosities. They came to hear her
i because they kntw she inherited
from her father the same eloquence
and brilliant brain as did her
brothers. Clarence, Tom and Frank;
and they Caine, too to hear how
the daughter of the man who found
ed more Baptist churches in West
ern Carolina than any other would
meet the religious Issues that has
been inserted in this campaign.
\ utes Ticket Straight.
What they heard was that
women declare that she, like ner
sainted father before her, would
vote her ticket straight, fold it and
stick it in the box unscathed. And
with that statement she made a plea
for the women of her native county
to do likewise.
For Or Against.
‘ The man may shirk and split up
but it is up to von women to come
on out and vote on November G.
You may think that by not voting
you will not hurt anything. You do!
If you don’t vote, you Democratic
women, then you are making votes
for Hoover—do you want Hoover
and his continuation of the Cool
idge policies: the shut-mouth policy
that says nothing of the corruption
and graft that has shocked a de
cent world? Do you? I do not

Brown Derbies Go
Like “Hot Cakes”
Smithitcs Buy Out George’s Order.
More Are doming In,
He Says.
George Wray, cne of mercantile
A. V.’s half dozen, does not claim
to be a political prognosticator, but
if the demand for brown derbies
means anything Cleveland county
will-well, go Democratic this fall.
Last week young Wray noting
that brown derbies, such as a cer
tain New York gt vernor wears, were
in fashion ordered a shipment. Be
fore Saturday they were sold out to
the young and miodle-aged fellow's
of the town and cr unty and Satur
day afternoon the customers kept
coming in for more
‘‘Guess 1 11 ha’ e to order more,”
says George.
“You better,” say the derby boys.

Win Or Lose, Gardner Will
Stand By Party's Standard
Raleigh—O. Max Gardner, Demo
cratic candidate lor governor, on
record as declaring, “I survive or
perish with the ticket.”
Speaking to Bladen county vot
ers, Gardner ,vas quoted as say
ing:
“Ambitious as I have been and
am to serve the people of this great
state'as their governor, it shall not
be said of me at the end of this
campaign that 1 have sought the
I easy .safety of the storm cellar in
! the cri^s that confronts us; i. sur
vive or perisli with the ticket."
His statement was applauded by
the crowd that packed the coun
ty courthouse. ^
The candidate rs heated- his cr£
icism of Herbert Hoover fer aF
leged desertion of Woodrow Wilson,
and declared the Republican party
had no state 'issues upon which to
< halletige the Democntlis party in
North Carolina.

One Show Will Be Most Unusual
Ever Exhibited Here. Go
Up Today.
The big Nat Reiss shows, which
will play the county fair here this
week, arrived ,ast night and today
the shows are being moved to and
going up on the fair grounds.
Mr. Rogers, shew publicity rep
resentative, stated at noon today
that by dark practically every part
I of the big show would be in place,
and that by the opening hour to
morrow morning Nat Reiss, Digger
and better than ever, would be
ready to entertain the thousands
who attend Cleveland fair.
"The Fountain of Youth,” a spec
tacular illusion, and a show never
shown in the world prior to this
season, is expected to be the big at
traction of the lot. No mirrors are
j used in the almost impossible
I scenes, the entire illusion being • by
the artistry of the. lighting effects.
The Reiss shows are entirely dif
ferent from what they were when
last here, it is said, the only act re
turning being the "Motordome,” In
this Earl Purtle, daring motorcycle
rider who has ihtT'lea this county
before, will appear again despite
the fact that Jne of his eyes was
chewed out by his pet lioness
months back. The lioness will be in
the dome speedvav again with him
this year and he has only one eve to
watch the. lioness and his death
defying turns about the bowl.
The midway" is 30 percent larger
and there will oe 18 different shows
and eight riding devices.
