“Flu" Is General.
The influenza epidemic, which
closed the city schools here today,
is not confined to Shelby but
seems to be general over the coun
ty. In the county the Stubbs school
has closed, while numerous teach
ers and students are reported sick
with influenza at Lattimore, Earl,
Belwood, Dover mill and in other
sections. In several business houses
of Shelby clerks and employees are
out with attacks.
MR. GARDNER WILL
NOT ALLOW RAISE
OF PRESENT SILK
Governor-Elect Halts Rumor That
Salary Of Governor May
Be Boosted.
“I will not under any circum
stances permit my salary to be
raised by the next legislature," de
clared Governor-elect O Max
Gardner when asked concerning re
ports that the delay in his inaug
uration from January 1 to January
11 might be accompanied by an
increase in his salary at the hands
of the general assembly, which will
convene January 9.
“I consider the salary of the Gov
ernor and all other constitutional
state officers entirely too low. and
I should like to see them all in
creased. but I shall hold the office
of governor for only one term and
I should not be willing for any ac
tion to be taken at this time which
would affect me personally and
shall so inform my friends in the
general assembly."
The definite announcement by
Mr Gardner put an end to rumors
as far as he is concerned, and
leaves as the most likely salary
measure for the two-day period be
fore the constitutional officers will
be sworn in action in regard to the
salary of the attorney general.
Under the constitution the salar
ies of the governor, secretary of
state, treasurer, auditor, superin
tendent of public instruction, and
attorney general can not be chang
ed during their terms erf office, and
any action to affect any of them
before 1933 would have to be taken
during the first two days of the ses
sion. as was done in 1921. the time
of the last general increase for
such oiilcer;.
At present the governor receives
*6,500 a year, plus a travel allow
ance of $600 and free use of the
executive mansion, which is main
tained by the state, the superin
tendent of public instruction re
ceives $5,000. the attorney general
*4,000 end all the others 4,500.

Closes Shelby Schools; 887 Pupils Are Sick
MULL DOUBTS IF
STATE WILL PASS
LONG TERM IDEA
If Not No State Aid Can Be Ex
pected For Shelby Schools
Under Present Tax.
In an interview with The Star
today, O. M. Mull, Cleveland's rep
resentative, declared that he doubt
ed the passage of an eight-month
school term bill by the next legis
lature. Mr. Mull, a close personal
and public friend of Governor
elect Gardner, was asked about the
likelihood of the bill passing in
connection with the problem here
of shortening the school term of
the Shelby schools..
ay some it was thought that per
haps the passage ’ of eight month
schools for the entire state would
make it unnecessary to raise the
tax levy here to keep the schools
open nine months. Mr. Mull's view,
as expresesd below, casts cold water
upon that hope:
"A number of voters In the Shel
by school district have asked me
what school legislation would like
ly be enacted by the approaching
general assembly. The iinancing of
the public schools of the state will
be one of the most important
questions before the legislature.
What will be done, no one can de
finitely foretell.
"The public schools in Cleveland
county school tax of 62c on the
money from three sources. Our six
months term is paid for by our
countyschool ta x of 62c on the
hundred plus $47,000 which we drew
from the state as our share of the
3 1-4 million dollars state equaliza
tion fund. The town in Cleveland
1 county by a local tax run their
schools three additional months
while a number of other districts
run their school, some two and
some three months additional by a
local tax.
"Prof. Allen, our state superin
tendent of public instruction and a
large number of others are asking
the legislature to provide the
Money to rim the public schools for
eight months instead of six. If this
should be done the town of Shelby
would only have to finance one ad
ditional month and there would be
no need to increase our local tax
from 30 cents to 40 cents as the
thirty cents would be more than
ample. I do not believe the state
will finance an eight months school
term. A large number of the coun
i ties are finding the tax burden for
the six months term very heavy
and are clamoring for more help
on the six months term. I believe
the legislature will provide further
help on the six months term. If it
adheres to the present method of
giving held by the state equaliza
tion fee, I believe the amount will
be raised from the present 3 1-4
million to five million dollars, If
this method is not accepted I be- j
lieve some other method will be
adopted to furnish state help on
the six months term.
“If state aid is limited to the six J
month term, as I believe it will be
limited, it will be left to the local
school districts to provide by local
tax an amount reasonably neces
sary to run the schools the three
additional months or shorten the
length of the term as they see fit,"
he stated.

More Whiskey Smuggled Into
United States Now Than Three
Years Ago—Tough Problem
Attorney General’s Report Shows
It 75 Percent Increase
In 3 Years.
(Special to The Star.)
Washington. — The attorney-gen
eral of the United States is in the
unevitable position of a man who
has finally succeeded in solving a
tough problem only to have it go
all to pieces on him and present it
self in an entirely new way.
The annual report of Attorney
General Sargent, just made public,
sheds a new and interesting light
on the trial.; and tribulations that
attend the efforts >"* prevent the
smuggling o. intoxicants into this
country.
It reveals that whereas the smug
gling of liquor in from the high
seas has been got pretty well un
der control, the flood that seeps
in across the Canadian border is
steadily increasing, despite all ef
forts to check it.
“The problems of the liquor
smuggling traffic directly from
Canada into the United States
Across the international boundary
line continue to be unsolved,” ad
mits the report. “Indeed, while
tne record ot ioreign ship seizures
would seem to indicate that the
smuggling traffic from the high
seas through the aid of hovering
vessels is diminishing, such traf
fic across the international boun
dary on the north is increasing.
The great bulk of this trade is car
ried on through the waters of the
Great Lakes and their connec
tions."
To begin with, as the report
points out, it is possible to esti
mate the amount of liquor smug
gled in from Canada a little more
accurately than that which comes
in from other places, because much
of the Canadian liquor passes
through the Canadian customs, and
official record is made of it.
These Canadian official records
show graphically the increase in
the amount of liquor sent over from
the dominion. The following table
shows the total number of gallons
exported in the last four years:
1925 ....665,898
1926 . 983,152
1927 ..-.1,053,213
1928 ..--1.169,002
Futhermore, the value of the
smuggled product keeps going up.
In 1925^the Canadian value of the
exported whisky was $10,772,988.
This year the sum rose to $18,883,
541. The report goes on to add:
‘‘These figures thus given cover
the exportations of whisky only,
and the same records show that
the total value of all alcoholic bev
erages exported from Canada to the
United States during the year end
ing June 30, 1928, amounted to $24.
397,958. As observed heretofore,
these records show only the liquor
which was regularly cleared
through Canadian customs.
“Some of it may be short circuit
ed for consumption in Canada. On
the other hand, it is believed a sub
stantial amount of liquor enters
the United States across the north
ern border, of which the Canadian
customs has no record. Based on
the figures supplied by the Cana
dian department of trade and com
merce, it will be noted that in the
course of three years the volume
of this traffic has increased more
than 75 per cent.”
School Election
“Talk Of Town”
The special school election
for the Shelby district is at
present "the talk of the
town. Today on the business
streets and in all gatherings
the proposed increase of the
tax levy for schools to 40
cents is being discussed.
Supporters of the measure
argue that a shortened school
term will give the town a
black eye, while those oppos
ing declare that some way
can be found whereby the
schools can be operated for
nine months on the present
levy.
To date, with the election
just around the corner, opin
ion seems to be pretty evenly !
divided and the outcome of
the measure cannot be pre- j
dieted to any accurate extent.
One thousand six hundred
and forty-eight people are
registered, and with those
who are registered but not
voting against the measure
the ruling is that 825 must
vote for the levy if it passes
the electorate Monday.
Taxpayers Can Get Any Informa
tion They Desire From School
Officials.
■When a request came several
times this week from voters in
South Shelby asking that The Star
publish the salary schedule of
teachers in the city schools, the re
qi*st was transmitted to the school
' officials who hate this information.
A member of the school board was
seen and had the following re
sponse to make to this request.
“Any information which the tax
payers wish about the finances of
the school, including the salaries of
teachers can be secured from any
member of the school board or
from John Shannonhouse who made
this audit. The men who seek this
information have never asked the
members of the school board or
the auditor, so far as 1 have been
able to learn, but have questioned
folks who they knew did not know,
hence exaggerated reports have
gone out.
“The school board has nothing to
conceal. We have this information
and it is to be had for the asking
and not only that. but we are
planning to publish a full and
complete statement in a short
while. We feel that the matter of
teachers salary is just one of many
interesting items in the report and
the taxpayers should know the
sources of revenue, the deficit and
other things as well as teachers
salaries.'’

CLEVELAND MOVES
TO A BIGGER LEAD
IN MAKINC COTTON
Johnston County Supplants Robe
son In Second Place. Behind
Cleveland 7,702 Bales.
When the last cotton ginning re
port for North Carolina was issued
i Cleveland county gained over her
nearest rivals in cotton production
in the- state.
Wh -n the November 14 report was
made this county was only three or
four rhcAirend bales of Robeson,
then second in cotton production.
But with the December 1 report
Cleveland with 45,343 bales was the
only county in the state to pass the
40,000-bale mark and was leading
| Johnston, which supplanted, Robe
son by 7,702 bales. Robeson with
36.945 bales ginned to December 1
was 8,398 bales behind Cleveland.
Behind Last Year.
The majority of the large cotton
counties of the state are behind
last year in their ginning this year.
Johnston county to December 1
was nearly 11,000 bales behind the
ginning of 1927, while Robeson was
i about 3,000 behind. This county up
to December 1 was about 1,000 bales
ahead of the 1927 crop to the same
date. Halifax with 33,826 bales gin
ned to December 1 was the only
other big cotton producing county
ginning more than in 1927 with an
increase of about 1,000 bales over
the previous year.

Star Starts Christmas Fund For Poor
All #Ter Shelby “Christmas
is in the air,” and here, there
and nearly everywhere prepa
rations for the holiday of holi
days are being made, but in
some homes in and about Shel
by there is very little being done
in the way of getting ready for
Christmas, because of unfor
tunate circumstances which
make it so that there is no
money with which to partici
pate In the good cheer of the
season.
For that reason The Star
again hangs out its Santa Stock
ing for the pobr and unfortu
tunates of the city and section.
The appeal for gifts for the
poor was delayed this year due
to the influenza epidemic which
has confined lenders of several
civic clubs and organizations
who have always aided in The
Star’s appeal for contributions.
However, despite the delay
Christmas is yet 10 days off and
enough money to take a ray of
cheer into many homes can be
raised it the people of Shelby
respond as heretofore.
As before, understand that
none of the fund will go for
trivial things, toys, and such,
but will instead be used to pur
chase shoes for little girls and
boys, coal for ill and stricken
families, and groceries for
homes where the head of
the house is sick or dead and
there is no one to provide.
On Christmas eve when the
fund is complete the money will
be turned over to a special com
mittee, which Is investigating
needy eases and will t*e u-ed to
pnrc’\a~e clothing, fuel and groc
eries. In compiling the list of j
needy cases the committee will
work with J. B. Smith, welfare
officer, who is in daily touch
with the unfortunates, and who
during- the flu epidemic receives
scores of appeals for aid from
homes of the less fortunate
about the town.
Help make it a livable Christ
mas for some of the unfortu
nates about you. While the ma
jority enjoy trinkets and gifts
they are in actual need. Last
year the fund carried a touch
of the Cnristmas spirit into
scores of homes.
Make your contribution now1,
since the appeal has been de
layed and it is only a few days
until Christmas. Contributions
may be left at The Star or with
the county welfare officer at the
court house or Rush Hamrick.

Local Manager Of
Penney’s Benefits
In Aladdin Style
Penney Employees Get In On Stock
Cut. Manager Scott Gets
Reward.
_ j
Here's a yarn out of the book of
Aladdin.
It has to do with the J. C. Pen- i
ney company in general, and E. E.
Scott, the manager, in particular.
Recently the Penney company
made an announcement to the ef
fect that they were putting into
effect- a plan for further distribu
tion of the Penney stock amongst
the present stockholders.
It was announced that owners of
stock in the company would be en
abled to purchase additional stock
at a cost of ten dollars per share.
That doesn’t sound so hot. until
the matter is explained.
Hero is an explanation that
brings out the Aladdin quality of
the plan.
Mr. Scott, ( and this information
came to The Star without the
manager’s knowledge)—Mr. Scott
originally owned 27 shares. This
year he acquired 35 more. (You
see, it was a good year.) So he owns
roughly speaking, sixty shares. He
will be able to buy, under the
Penney plan, two shares for one,
so that his quota will be 120
shares.
Now the plot begins to thicken.
He will be able to buy the 120
shares for $1,200. And here steps in
Aladdin. The stock was selling this
week pm the market fof $343.00. So
that Mr. Scott will clean up the
neat sum, through this company
transaction, of over $41,000.
Which means a clear pick up.
The sum hasn’t anything to do
with profits. It hasn’t anything to
do with other phases of his earn
ings. He just found, so to speak,
| forty-eme thousand dollars through
j the Penney plan of finance,
i And his friends tell him he is
getting nice and round and fat.
And that is the other side of the

Kiwanis Launches Charity Fund
For Needy During The Holi
days. Help Is Asked.
The Kiwanis club members last
night started the Christmas Chari
ty fund with a donation of $94,
with more to be reported later.
There are many needy cases in
Shelby, young and old who do not
have the bare necessities of life
and will have no Christmas cheer
unless the charitably inclined peo
ple of the community contribute to
them. In the years gone by, neat
sums have been raised through the
columns of The Star for the poor
and needy. Food, clothing and fuel
have been distributed where they
were greatly needed. The poor chil
dren have had some touch of
Santa's generosity, so again this
year the Charity fund is started
with the hope that the people in
better circumstances will be charita
ble and give as freely as they have
in the oast
Contributions will be duly ac
knowledged in the columns of The
Star.
Make your donation to Rush
Hamrick, Kiwanis treasurer, who
has been appointed to act as treas
urer of the charity fund,
The ministers of the up-town
churches, J. B Smith of the wel
fare department and Mrs., Fred
Morgan of the Woman's club will
supervise the distribution of charity
and see that there is no duplica
tion of gifts.
County’s Famous Dog
Case Closed At Last
Cleveland county's most widely
heralded dog case is at end—for the j
present at least.
Thursday the North Carolina Su- |
preme court handed down a de- I
cision affirming the Superior court j
decision here in the case of Blan
ton vs. Bridges.
The suit originally was brought by
Bate Blanton against Charlie
Bridges, asking $50 for the running
over of a Blanton dog known by the
name of “Lucy." The first hear
ing was held in the magistrate's
court. The case then moved on to
Superior court, resulting in a mis
trial. The second trial in Superior
resulted ir a decision for the de
fendant. then the .appeal was taken
to Supreme court where the de
cision was affirmed.

Wherever He Goes
There’s A Governor
Mr. Woodward Has Lived In Towns
With Four North Carolina
Governors.
It's right much of a boost for a
town when Mr. John F. Woodward,
76-year-old Morganton citizen, be
comes a citizen, even temporarily,
thereof.
Mr. Woodward, who is spending
several months here with his daugh
ter, Mrs. Columbus Andrews, wife
of the Shelby High principal, has
lived for short or long periods in
i four North Carolina towns, and
1 every one of the towns had a citi
j zen who was or had been governor
j of the state.
For 49 years Mr. Woodward was
I connected with the State hospital
j I
at Morganton, for many years be
ing in charge of the construction
there. Visiting the office of Gov
ernor-elect O. Max pardner here
recently Mr. Woodward was remind
ed of the fact that by chance the
towns he had lived in were homes
of governors.
In his boyhood days at Statesville,
his native home, he lived near the
home of the war governor, Zeb
Vance. Later as an apprentice in
woodwork and construction in Char
lotte, Mr. Woodward lived in the
same town again with the Vance
family. When he became connects
ed with the State hospital he lived
in Morganton, the home town of
the late Gov. Todd Caldwell.
In more recent years Mr. Wood
ward has spent much of his time
with two of his daughters, Mrs.
Andrews of Shelby, and another
daughter at Lumberton. The latter
town is the home of Governor Mc
Lean and while in Shelby Mr.
Woodward is living in the home
town of Gov. McLean’s successor.

The Shelby city schools will close
this afternoon and remain closed
until Monday, December 31, thus
taking the annual Christinas hoH
days a week earlier than planned
due to the spread of the influenza
epidemic over the city and among
the near 3,000 students.
! The move was taken by the city
j school board, Supt. I. c. Griffin
stated today, after being advised by
the county health officer and phy
sicians of the town. The medical
men recommended the course as a
wise one to prevent the further
spread of the epidemic in the city,
noting meantime that 183 new cases
had developed among school chil
dren here over night.
The Rapid Increase,
There was some discussion of
closing earlier Wednesday and
Thursday, but no definite decision
was made until today when actual
tabulation of attendance and
reports were compiled.
From Thursday morning until
this morning 183 more pupils wne
listed as absent due to the epi
demic. Thursday morning 704 stu
dents were out with influenza and
other sickness, and this morning
887, children, or more than one
third of the average attendance
were out. More pupils than 887 are
now out bdt only that number have
been reported as sick to their
teachers.
The “Flu" Figures.
The following table showing the
number of children reported absent
from the eight schools due to sick
ness is given for Thursday and
Friday, thus revealing the spread
of the epidemic:

Totals.. 704 887 In. 183
Little school work will be lost,
Supt. Griffin says, and the early
closing may prevent hundreds of
cases in the opinion of school board
members and physicians, who urge
that those who take a cold or seem
to have the "flu” should go to bed
immediately. By dosing this after
noon an-t opening on December 31,
it is said that the students will
only be out of school three more
days than they would have under
the ordinary holiday period. These
three days will be made up next
spring, Supt. Griffi nstates, as is
required by law.
Even if the move had not been
recommended by physicians and
the health officer so many students
are now absent that it would have
been near useless to attempt to
