Four Places In County
This Week.
Every Cleveland county farmer
who can possibly do so is urged to
attend at least one of the four big
' farm meetings acheduled for this
county on Wednesday ard Thurs

County Agent Hardin and others
believe that no fanner m the coun
ty should pass up the opportunity
of hearing the three men, particu
larly Dr. Winters as farmers of the
county should feel honored at his
coming to this county tor two days
to tender valuable information.
He has done more few community
1 cotton breeding, perhaps, than any
other man. and community breed
ing is the major item in the cotton
world today.
Dr. Winters also led the movement
for thick Spacing and narrow rows.
* Considered the outstanding cotton
man of the southeast he was one of
the three men compiling the score
card for the national cotton con
tests, and was also one of the three
Judges. His hobby is cotton breeding
and he spent three years at Cornell
university studying this phase of
cotton production.
Dr. Winters, and Messrs. Tate and
Gray will discuss cotton breeding,
fertilization, use of nitrate, and
practically every phase of cotton
production of interest to the far
mers of the state's biggest cotton
producing county.
i . Mo farmer should pass up the op
portunity of hearing them at one
of the four meetings to which the
public is invited without charge
and as a part of the farm extension
work.

Kings Mountain spent the week

The Women Buy,
Through The Star
Mrs. Sippel, head of the
General Federation of Wo
man's clubs says women do
nine-tenths of the buying,
spending fifty-two thousand
million dollars each year.
“That’s Important to advis
ers,” says Arthur Brisbane.
The 8tar goes directly into
these homes of its subscrib
ers—homes where the women
who are the purchasing
agents for the families, live.
They are watching Sjtar ad

gains because they are a good

values.

2 Thousand
Pass Comer
In An Hour
Busy Corner At Southeast Side Of
i Court Square In Busi
iness Section.
How many people, shoppers and
otherwise, swarm the streets of
Shelby on Saturday afternoons?
Have you ever tried counting them?
If not, you're in for a surprise.
Last Saturday afternoon R. E.
Williams made a wager that at least
1,000 people would pass the comer
of South Lafayette street and East
Warren street, at the old Cleve
land drug store stand, within one
hour. Then he and the fellow he
wagered with counted them, the
count including the stream going
both directions, east and west.
At the end of the hour 2,150 peo
ple had passed by both counts, and
of the number 1,510 were white and
640 colored.
One reason, no doubt, that large
stores locate branches in Shelby,
county seat of a big cotton pro- j
ducing and spinning county.
Opinion Differs
On “Still” Bonus
For Officers Here
Some Think Booties Manufacture
Would Increase By Plan.
Others Differ.
Whether or not the bill in Ra
leigh proposing to have deputy
sheriffs and officers of this county
get their man along with his dis
tillery before they receive their $20
bonus would hamper or help the
manufacture of bootleg whiskey in
! Cleveland county is a matter of de
i bate since the bill was drawn up and
forwarded to Raleigh.
I On the ether hand numerous peo
ple. including officers, disagree,
saying th*t the manufacture of
whiskey in the county will increase
as officers will not be over anxious
to spend several days and night*
locating a still and then receive no
pay if the operator, or operators
get away.
In the meantime there has been
some conjecture about the court
house as to who sponsored the
drawing up of.the bill.
Little Made Here.
During the discussion about the
proposed bill officers and others
gave it as their oivtolon that cmly
a small percentage of the whiskey
sold in this county Is made here.
A big part of it, they said, came in
from South Carolina, or from
Wilkes and other counties In this
state.

Dutch Whisnant Takes Stand And
Tells Of Shooting Last
November.
In a hearing before Recorder i
Horace Kennedy here Saturday P.
A. McEntire was bound over to Su
perior court under a $2,000 bond
on the charge of assault with dead- j
ly weapon with intent to kill in con
nection with the shooting of Horace 1
(Dutch) Whisnant, baseball star,
last November at Lawndale.
On the charge of carrying a con
cealed weapon, namely a pistol,
McEntire was fined $50 and the,
costs.
Three Witnesses lTp.
Only three witnesses took the
stand—Whisnant. Cullen Morrison.]
who operates the power house at1
Lawndale where the shooting took
place, and W. J. Littlejohn, another
eye-witness.
Whisnant hobbled to the stand
on crutches, swinging an empty
trouser leg which once was filled
with the leg that stepped forward
on the pitcher’s mound often enough
in one year to make him the out
standing high school pitcher in
North Carolina. The leg was ampu
tated at the hospital here some
time after the shooting when com
plications arose in connection with
the bullet wound in the leg.
Had Card Game.
His story was that he, McEntlre.
and Littlejohn were in a card game
late in the night at the rower
house. An argument developed be
tween McEntlre and Whlsnant.
and, according to Wht*iant, MC
Entire shoved him. and he In turn
struck McEntlre. They were parted
by Littlejohn and Cullen Morrison,
and McEntlre walked around be
hind tfie generator with Morriaon.'
Near the door, Just a few minutes
later, the two encountered each
other again, Whlsnant hit McEn
tire. according to Whlsnant's story,
and McEntlre swung at him and
lost his bafanea. Item where ha
fell towards the generator Whls
nant said McEntlre pulled a gun
from under his coat.
"I started towards him and then
I was shot,” he concluded.
Other Witnesses.
The evidence tendered by Mor
rison was that he came on duty
at 12 o’clock, found them playing
cards and asked them to quit.
About that time, the witness said,
an argument arose between McEn
tlre and Whisnant. the latter strik
ing the former. In some manner,
said Morrison, Whlsnant stumbled
over the cushion they were playing
on and as he did so McEntlre
reached over after him. Then, Mor
rison continued, he saw a gun in
McEntire’s hip-pocket and took it
out. After they were parted he
said that McEntlre called him
round behind the generator and
asked him for his gun, “declaring
that he was going home Morrison
gave it to him, he said, and Mc
Enttre walked to the door where
Whisnant was standing thanking
Littlejohn for parting them. Whis
nant, Morrison said, turned to Mc
Entire and said “I thank you, too.
O_n you, ana si'rucK. wwubuc,
who, Morrison said, grabbed Whls
nant around the body and told him
that he was not mad. In some
way he lost his hold and fell^to
the floor and about that time, Mor
| rison said, the gun went off. When
I he first saw the gun after the shot,
[he said, it was lying on the floor
and a piece of the hammer was
broken. The witness said he did
hot see McEntire pull the gun and
point it at Whisnant.
The testimony of Littlejohn was
practically the same as that of
Morrison. Neither did ne see Mc
Entire pull the gun out of his
pocket, or point it at Whisnant.
The Impression they seemed to
gain was that the gun struck the
floor when McEntire stumbled as
the gun sounded, when it discharg
ed, as it went off down about their
feet. That the gun was discharged
by falling to the floor they did not
say, definitely, neither did they say
it was not fired by McEntire, oth
er than that neither, both looking
way. saw McEntire draw the gun
or fire it.
Carried To Hospital.
McEntire, all the witnesses said,
along with Littlejohn brought the
wounded man to the Ijospttal here.
On cross-examination Attorney B.
T. Falls, for the defense, brought
out in questioning Whisnant that
McEntire visited him at the hos
pital, leaving a dollar me time for
him to purchase cigarettes.
"You don't have anything against
each other now, do you?'' Mr. Falls
asked.
"I don’t knok about him, but I
have nothing against him except

R. E. Carpenter, Candidate Two Years Ago,
Mentioned Along With
Jesse Washburn
It has been one week since
Mayor W. N. Dorsey announced him
sell a candidate for reelection as
mayor and as yet he has the field
to himself. Meantime, however, the
political pow-wows and parleys
have brought in the names of a half
dozen likely candidates, with a new
name being added for near every
day of the week.
Two of those talked as opponents
to the present mayor have dis
claimed any present intention of
running, while statements, have
not been made by the others.
Webb On Economy.
Close friends of Paul Webb, drug
gist and war-time mayor of Shel

the near future and that hia dat
form will center about economy, al
though no definite statement Is
made about the candidacy or the
talked-of platform. R. E. Carpen

and a candidate two years ago, has
a big following, which, t Is under
stood, Is urging him to get In the
race again. Another candidacy
talked Is that of Jesse Washburn
young cotton man and grandson of
J. J. McMurry, who Is being groom
ed by the younger voters of the
town provided a prospective busi

prospects of offering.
But despite the prospects no oth

“Flu” Holds Down
Attendance Here
Many Failures Came Of Low Rec
ord. Parents Should Note
Excuses.
There were 312 failures In the
Shelby schools during the fourth

the low record in attendance and
the large number of failures.
Parents are urged by the school
authorities to cooperate in the
matter of attendance. Pupils absent

OPPOSITION SEEN
10 CHANCING PAY
OF TIE SOLICITOR
Bill To Tut %'ounty Solicitor On
Salary Basis Argun* Too
Ways.
Ere the end of this week Repres
entative Odus Mull may hear of op
position In Shelby to the bill he
has been asked to introduce In leg
islature whereby the solicitor of the
county court would be placed on a
salary basis instead of being paid
by fees from the court.
•In some circles, It is understood,
the change Is being fought and
there ts talk of a petition being cir
culated asking the county’s repres
entative not to Introduce the bill.
/ Why Opposition?
The main points of the opposition
are not known, although some of
the opposition, according to reports.
Is because the bill reads that ll"
passed the salary ts to be determined
by the county commissioners. Pre
sumably the opposition would have
the salary of the solicitor set by the
legislature as happened when all
Cleveland county officers were
taken from the fee system and
placed upon ftxed salaries.
Many For Change.
On the other hand. although
there are no rerorts of supporting
petitions, there arc quite a number
who foregather in the court house
circle who favor the change to a
salary basis. Under the present
system, they argue, the county soli
citor gets a fee of *3.50 for each
conviction in the county court. The
county recorder gets a fixed salary
of *2,000 per year although there is
a recorder's fee of *1.60 for each
case he hears, or *2.60 if the record
er also Issues the warrant. This fee
be it *1.60 or $2 60 does not go to
the recorder direct but into the
county treasury from which his
stipulated salary is paid. Support
ers of the change In the method of
paying the solicitor declare that
there are times when the fees
taken directly from the work of the
recorder will not pay his salary.
For this reason they contend that
the fees of the solicitor as well as
those of the recorder should go
into the county treasury and that
both officials be paid therefrom,
the larger fees of the solicitor aid
ing In paying the recorder's salary
of 12.000 after taking care of the
solicitor’s salary.
When the bill wras passed plac
ing all county officers here on a
straight salary instead of fees the
county solicitor, it is said, was
named along with the other offi
cers. but due to the fact that the
office of recorder’s solicitor was not
created until a few weeks later
there was some question os to which
was the proper legal procedure: to
follow the law, made before the of
fice was created, which placed all
county officers on a fixed salary, or
to pay the solicitor by fees. Ths®
latter method was followed until
the present bill was forwarded to
Raleigh for passage, which would
place the solicitor on a salary basis
along with other officers. In the
bill It is stated that the change, if
it becomes a law, will not take ef
fect until the next term so that
those who seek the office will know
exactly what It pays, and so that it
would not change the pay of the
present solicitor, who sought the
office with the knowledge that the
fee system was used.
Around the court house it is
hinted that the political hand may
be seen on both sides of the de
bate "lining things up" for the next
county primary.
