feature addresses of the day. Gen.
Harris described in detail the faith
ful work being done by Washington
headquarters of the S. A. organi
sation. He praised North Carolina
for having doubled its membership
during the past year, but said this
W’Vj no more than was to be ex
pected from a state with the progres
etve record already made by Tar
heelia. Gen Harris asserted that
there are now 200.000 survivors of
the Spanish-American War and
that of this number, about 103,000
hold membership in various camps.
He urges that the other 30,00 be

New Registration Is
Required For School
Bonds Here July 30
Majority Of Tax Payer* Pndrr
wrote f) Month* Term And
Must Voir In Election.
A majority of the taxpayers in
the city of Shelby virtually under-|
wrote the Indebtedness of the city j
school district, some weeks ago when j
they signed a petition asking thatj
the term of school bo extended lrom \
eight to nine months and pledged
themselves to vote for a bond Issue
of $;sfi,000 to pay off the Indebted
ness of the school dlsrtict. and ex
tend the school term last year.
i nis srnooi Dona election has
been called for July 30 and on the
next, two Saturdays, the registrar
Mr. Zero Huffman will be at the
court, house to register voters. An
entirely new registration is required
since a bond Issue is at stake and
those who fail to register will not be
permitted to vote July 30. Mr. Hull
man, the registrar, will be at the
courthouse July 13 and 30th for the
convenience of the taxpayers, but
will register any qualified voters on
the other days during the week pro
vided they call on him at the Shelby
Cotton mill where he is employed.
Some weeks ago when the peti
tions were passed around, about 1,
600 tax payers and voters pledged
themselves to vote for the $58,000
bond issue to pay off the Indebted
ness and run the schools the ninth
month. Tlio.se friendly to the schools
are anxious, therefore, that all or
these citizens who signed the peti
tions. register while the books are
open and vote on July 30. While
enough taxpayers have pledged their
support and are morally bound to
vote favorably to the bond issue, the
election cannot be carried with
out these petitioners registering and
voting

Sidelights
On The
Encampment
Disappointment was expressed Dy
the committee In charge that more
music was not provided for the
street parade yesterday. Efforts had
been made to secure the Charlotte
drum and bugle corps, the Gastonia
drum and bugle corps and a band
from Saxon mill, Spartanburg, but
all these were wlinout avail. Not
withstanding that fact, the local
high school band acquitted itself
right nobly and saved the day. The
parade was a suecess, even though
a little more music was needed.
On rvery hand delegates from
over l lie state were expressing deep
regret, that two of the city's most
distinguished sons, Governor Gard
ner and Clyde R. Hoey could not
be present for the encampment.
The governor said over the tele
phone Sunday that he had press
ing engagements in Raleigh for
Monday and Tuesday and these
would not allow him to come home,
while Mr. Hoey had been confident
that he would be able to attend,
but was detained at Chester by the
length of the King trial and did
not reach home until after the en
campment was concluded.
Dan Grier camp of Gastonia,
made the enviable record of increas
ing its membership during the past
year by 150 per cent and would have
received a silver loving cup offered
by the late commander, J. C. Ben
jamin of Raleigh, but Mr. Ben
jamin died in April and therefore
no award of the cup was made. The
Gastonia camp was well represent
ed at the Shelby meeting.
Stephen N. Harris of Savannah,
Cm., adjutant general of the na
tional department, United Spanish
War Veterans, was accompanied to
Shelby for the meeting by Mrs
Harris, and the visitors expressed
themselves as being delighted with
Shelby and with the hospitality ex
tended visitors. This was their first
trip to this city and they had noth
ing but words of praise to offer.
Routine business dragged out to
such length during the session yes
terday that the parade was badly
delayed til starting and the thou
sands of people in the city for this
feature grew a little bit wearied.
Officers tried to dispatch the camp
business with as much speed as pos
sible but there was simply too great
accumulation.
Shelby hotels reported Monday
night that, sleeping rooms were at
a premium. Notwithstanding the
fact that many private homes had
been thrown open to take car* ef
the visitors, the city was packed and
thronged and some traveling men
had difficulty in obtaining accomo
dations for the night. The dele
gates said that, Shelby hotels will
compare favorably with those of
any -town they have ever visited.
They particularly praised the splen
did meals served hrre during the
convention.
Although the decorators, a Jack
sonville concern, got its mm on
the scene here at a late hour Fri
day night, they did their work well,
and as a result the stores, other
business houses of the city, and
the streets presented a beautiful
appearance during the two days of
the convention. Old Glory waved to
the breeze in every direction and
Shelby presented a gay, rolorful and
festive appearance. {
Cotton Blooms
Become Plentiful
Every Day
Cotton blooms are becoming more
plentiful every day and from most
every section of the county, they
are reported daily to The Star of
fice. On July 4th Gladys Phillips
found a bloom on cotton planted
April 18 on the Cliff Davis farm
near Earl. Then on the same day
D. M. Head found a bloom on the
T. P. Gold land and on Saturday
J. T. Porter, an enterprising farmer
on the Max Wilson farm Just east
of Shelby found a white bloom.
Mr. K. W. Proctor of Lattimorc,
brought a bloom to The Star of
fice he picked on July 5, and to
day Mr. H D, Martin, manager of
the Cleveland Springs hotel brought
a fine stalk with blooms from the
5-acre hotel tract.

J J ^International Netrereel)
Is Hoover Doing Bossing Or Is
Congress Flicking The Whip?
Washington.—It docs not yet seem
to be settled whether President Hoo
ver is making a large success of his
attempts to boss congress or wheth
er congress has been running over
the president. Nearly everyone who
has written about this seems to
have fried to prove one thing or an
other.
The important, point is that if
Hoover dors ns wrll in his rela
tions with the legislative branch
in the future as he has done to
date, he will have little reason to
complain. Unfortunately, there Is
reason to fear that his troubles
have merely begun. The reason
concerns the tariff.
Already the tariff problem has
the president in something of a
hole. It may not prove to be so
much ol a hole, or the president
may Jump out of it into what lie
considers a more favorable one, but
the Democrats are hoping to con
vert it into a sucking quicksand.
A Dangerous Subject.
There is no more efrertive way
for a president to get his feet, wet
than to allow a tariff revision to
enter his administration, The re
vision now proposed by Repubican
leaders in both houses of congress
is t^e fourth in 2Q years. The only
one among the other three which Is
comparable to this one Is that, of
1910, which is so often credited
with wrecking the Taft adminis
tration and putting the Democrats
bark into power.
The Underwood tariff revision in
the first Wilson administration was
a revision downward; because of
the World War no one knows just
how it would have worked out. The
Fordncy--McCumbcr Act, passed
early in the Harding administra
tion, was a revision upward and
there has been plenty of argument
whether America's industrial pros
perity of the last few years has
bgfn because of or in spite of it.
Now comes an upward revision
under what may be denominated
as normal conditions and almost
anything can happen.
Except for the tariff. neither
President Hoover and the Repub
lican party nor the county has
found anything very new to worry
about since March 4.
Hoover got his farm bill througn
as he wanted it. which is the main
thing to consider, and whether the
relief provided in the act will do
any particular good is something 1
to worry about later. On the other 1
hand, hardly anyone ever supposed :
that the president would have dtffi- ’
rulty in either house such as de- 1
veioped with the senate’s tem
porary revolt against passing the
bill without the debenture scheme i
m it.
Borah's Defection Exported.
The loss of Senator Borah as a
Hoover leader—a position he ac- .
;epted during the campaign—was
teneraliy discounted in advance
Few expected that Borah would
stay put there very long. And ■
Hoover has demonstrated that tn
vis army there is, as in the past, I
>n!y one general—the rest are lieu- i
enact*. Nevertheless, it was shown t
:hat the old Progressive-Democratic
combination which has so often
sickened Republicans had not been
killed by events of the campaign
and final passage of the farm bill
doubtless found the president with
mixed emotions.
He took a licking on the national
origins legislation, but not any
more of a licking than was needed
to prove that the senate often dis
regards a president's wishes. The
senate has always been like that
and this was no serious defeat.
Probably of even more significance
was the fact that congress failed
to appoint the congressional pro
hibition enforcement reorganisa
tion commission, which Hoover
wants to move enforcement from
the treasury to the justice depart
ment, although there is no great
rush about that. The significance
seems to lie in reports that action
was deliberately omitted because
Republican house leader Bert Snell
was good and sore over presidential
neglect regarding patronage in New
York state.
