Shelby Outfield
Was Wide-Awake
As Crying Babies?
Tlie Concord sportwriter who cov
ried the Winston-Shelbv game for
liis paper paid several high com
pliments to the Shelby players in
his story of the game in the Con
rord times.
Speaking of the local outfield he
said: •‘Hamrick's supporting outfield
v,as as wide-awake as a crying
baby!”
In another paragraph: “If all the
V inston players had followed the
example of Codfelter, the Shelby
team would never have gotten any
nearer to Chapel Hill than Con
cord. Clodfelter rapped his bat
around three of Hamrick's buzzers,
<11.e sailing to leftficld fence for a
double.”
"Poston", the writer continued,
"socked a double in the ninth and
circled the bases for a fluke ome
run as the Tobacco City boys j-’ay
cii mumble peg in the mud.”
Praises I.ee.
Referring to I.ee the story said:
1 I.ee, captain and shortstop, was in
the thick of the fielding with plenty
of highdass acting. He took care
of seven chances with only one
error, and all were hard chances.
| He brought the crowd to its feet
! with rapture in the seventh fr-mc
i when he leaped into the skv and
brought down a liner."
MILLION FIST FIGHTS EACH
YEAR IN RUSSIA IS RECORD
_
.Moscow.—Russians engage in
a million fist fights each year, in
which, puite naturally, at least
two million persons take part,
according to Dr. Lelbovitch of
the Moscow Institute of Crim
inology.
Official statistics show that in
Moscow alone there were 1,044
)>orsons hurt in fights during
March, 1918, and 1.G03 in April.
The Increase in the latter was
due to Easter holidays’ vodka.
The statisticians even gave
social correlation to the fight
ers. They said 35 per cent
were neighbors, 15 per cent hus
bands, six per cent former hus
bands, seven per cent relatives,
six per cent "friends." five per
cent acquaintances and 26 per
ccrfcct strangers.

Some Farming On
Lee Street, Shelby
To The Editor:
The people of Cleveland county
have become enthused so much ovei
our fanning governor's proclama
tion to the people of his county to
grow 75.000 bales of cotton by the
time Ms term expires: The people
of his. County arc planting cotton
along the highway and hedges, are
making an effort to grow the above
amount in this good year and fin
ally reach 100.000 bales by the ex
piration of his term. We are proud
that Cleveland county has given to
this good state their first agricul
tural governor at a time most
needed. A governor that says he
"wants to lift the occupation of
farming from its lowly and meek
habitation to a higher plane of pro
fession and encourage our younger
people back to the farm, that they
may be recognized as in any other
honorable occupation."
The people on Lee street are so
much enthused over farming that
Bass Suttle plowed up a 15 acre
field of daisies, (Oh! that beautiful
field of daisies,) Inspired by oar
governor's plan of scientific farm
ing. Buss is a large farmer, and
owns several farms. He wants to
employ a man who has been super
intendent of a cotton mill, for his
general farm manager. A man
trained from boyhood how to man
ufacture notion would know how to
grow it. He wants to farm in cot
ton scientifically. Mr. Suttle, I am
sorry you destroyed that field of
daisies. No prettier sight can be
seen when that field was in bloom
and the flowers turning toward the
sun as it was sinking in the great
western norizon. The beauty of
these flowers gave rest to my wear
ied soul and body. They would lift
me out of sordid thinking into
higher planes of heavenly think
ing where men forget themselves in
striving to help others and where
the pretty selfishness of little
things is burned up in the fiery
zeal out oi wnicn martyrs arc
made. X suppose you did this from
the inspiration you had gotten from
our governor's plan of scientific
farming. He has recently appointed
a politician and lawyer to be gen
eral farm manager of the state's
two large farms. This lawyer was
formerly or until recently attorney
for the state highway commission.
His service was needed there no
lc.igtr. He was made general man
ager of these farms to have scien
tific farming done. A great en
couragement for master farming. It
seems a wise appointment to have
a lawyer who has studied and prac
ticed law to supervise the fanning
on these large farms. If the ques
tion should come before the coun
cil of state which did the most
damage potato bugs or bean beetles,
this lawyer could estimate the dam
age scientifically.
The state's two large farms will
be well supervised. Each farm has
a superintendent. They must have
some supervision. Superintendent of
state prison, lawyer and politician,
has some supervision over the
farms. All time chairman of board I
of directors, he a lawyer and real |
estate dealer, has some supervision j
over the larms. The general farm
manager, lawyer and politician, has]
I supervision over the other supervi
I sons.
Mr. Suttle in doing scientific
. fanning, it seems to take excessive
supervision. You may need another
i supervisor tor your farms. X would
.like to suggest to you to get a
jChinaman. I still regre' you dc
i stroyed that field of daisies. Cot
; ton will not look good like the
| daisies. for cotton takes work
I while daisies grow without work.
But we are scientific now. Dr. Dor
| ton lias recently gotten so scientifi
cally with ins fine riding horses, he
lean ride along the Southern rail
road. his horses counts the cross
tics for him. Dr. is almost persuad
ed to believe scientifically that, he
can make a five gaitfd saddle horse
out of Charlie Doggett's gray mule.
It seems that science has chang
ed the way in which we get knowl
edge of farming, not so much in
taking couiscs in the study of agri
culture and experience but take
a course in law and politics to
make expert farmers. It seems our
I high school should change its.
I teaching of boys cotton club work
and teach them law. Change the pig
Clubs into political clubs. Mr. Suttle,
don't get so.scientific that you
won t plant any watermelon seeds
in the cotton you planted where
you plowed up that beautiful field
of daisies. The rain held up plant
ing for two weeks. We begun to
think this county would not make
75,000 bales this year, but the rain
j ceased, everybody is planting, we
hope to reach our expectation. But
ole Aunt Malinda blackened our
hopes. She says, 'We all tiis planted
on de wrong tim' of de moon’’ and
we will not make much cotton
But we hope ole Aunt Malinda is
I fooled on this moon business, that
we will exceed our governor's cx
| peetation lor us this year in produc
tion of that wonderful plant, cot
ton—what a royal plant it is. The
world waits; in attention on its
growth; the showers that fall,
whispering on its leaves, arc heard
around the earth; the sun that
shines on it is tempered by the
prayers of all people. Its fibre is',
i current in every bank and when
! loosing its fleece to the sun. it
floats a sunny flower that glorifies
I the field ot the humble farmer.

GRETNA GREEN MARRIAGES
ROUSE PROTEST PROM FOLK
_
Gretna Green.—Sentiment is
growing along the Scottish border
for the abolition of the "easy mar
riage" system at Gretna Green,
where 350 hasty weddings have
taken place within eighteen months,
Only thirty-one of these mar
riages were later registered. That
is the outstanding factor in the
agitation against Gretna Green
"romance.’
Popular revulsion against the
"romantic traditions" of the fron
tier village was intensified by the
recent marriages, at the famous
nuptial blacksmith shop, of Miss
Olive Ridsdel, a young English
heiress, and Hector Mappin, a
Cambridge undergraduate.
How About Bo-Peep?
Contemporary says Himalayan
lambs can run forty miles an
hour. And that is just the kind to
follow Mary around these days.
