Getting Baptist Bo.vs
Lined I'p.
fn just a few more weeks football
will replace baseball upon the daily
menu of sport fans, and out Boiling
Springs way the alumni and boost
ers of the new junior college are of
the opinion that the Cleveland
county college is going on tnc sport
map this year.
The optimism of the old grads
and also the alumni who later be
came alumni of Wake Forest cen
ters about the coming to the Bao
tist school of Blainey Rackley, All
State quarterback at Wake Forest
and a couple of years back the idol
of Baptist football followers all
over the state.
Rackley packed his bags and
came to Boiling Springs and She'.b”
last week, and he will be here until
school starts, on September 2, lin
ing up the Baptist boys of the sec
tion for the football squad which
he hopes will put the junior col
lege in the limelight this fall. Boil
ing Springs alumni believe in Rack
ley and are aiding him in every
possible manner to get the boys he
wants in school.
That Rackley will have plenty of
good gridiron material seems as
sured. Some of it will be green
and it will take time to build up a
winning football machine, but Racu
ley is going at the task in earnest
week after next when he calls his
first practice session He's seen
enough of such boys as Howard
Moore, Buck Coble, Clevp Cline,
and McEntire to know that he will
have some material as good as the
larger colleges, and he hopes before
the college opens its doors to have
such new students in school as Vir

Coach Racklev has already sche
duled five or six good games ami
is working after others, several of
which it is hoped will be played in
Shelby. The new Boiling Spring?
coach and Dr. J. S. Dorton, secretary
of the 'Cleveland county fair, held
a conference here Saturday about
Boiling Springs meeting some good
eleven at the fair grounds during
fair week. It is a surety that a good
game fair week will draw out scores
of local fans and will assemble a big
gathering of Boiling Springs sup
porters. Rackley hopes to have
Rutherford college furnish the op
position for him if Secretary Dor

the fair grounds in time for the
struggle.

Blanton Boy May
Recover, Said Now
Hudson Blanton. 15-year-old
youth who was mysteriously injur
ed in the Dover Mill Friday week
ago. was reported to be some bette:
at the Shelby hospital today and
chances for his recovery are bright
er.
Young Blanton, who was found
on the floor of the mill with his
skull fractured above the eye. has
been In a semi-conscious condition
for the 10 days since, but today was
said to be clearing up in his head
and able to recognize his relative
ind others.
Has Head
Mashed In
A Hold-Up
Suspect White Youths In Brutal
Slugging Of Negro Sunday
Morning.
Police and county officers are.
today attempting to unravel-the
mysterious happenings . centering
around the brutal slugging and
robbery of Boyce Meeks. Shelby ne
j gro. during the early hours of Sun
day morning
Meeks is in the Shelby hospital
in serious condition as the result of
a bad fracture on the rear of his
head and so far he lias not been
able to remember who slugged him
with a wood ax and robbed him of
something like $100
Meantime Deputy Sheriff Ed
Dixon and Police Chief Poston are
working upon the theory that white
youths have had something to do
with the brutal robbery. and at
least one young white man. whps
! name is withheld for the present, is
j in custody awaiting developments.
Gory With Blood.
About 9 o'clock yesterday morning
a negro passcr-bv stopped at the
little shack Meeks lives in near the
cotton warehouse along tiie South
I ern railway tracks. When he open
ed the door a gory spectacle greet
ed him. Meeks was lying uncon
I scious upon the floor in v large
I pool of blood, some of which had
j trickled across the room and out of
| the door. The back of his head was
crushed In and upon the bed nearby
was an ax. which had been used to
strike the blow, the back of the
heavy ax. which is now in the po
lice department. being splotched
with blood
The badly injured negro was
rushed to the hospital and for a
time it was not thought that he
could survive the injury. Today,
however, he has partly regained
consciousness and can talk some,
but does not remember who hit him
or what happened just before he
was felled.
Pockotbook Empty.
j His pocketbook. whum «as said 'o
have contained aroi)nd $100 prior
to the robbery, was found empty >n
the pool of blood by his side.
Hit From Rear.
It is surmised that the thief
slipped up on Meeks from the rear
and swung the ax as the fracture
is on the back side of the hetflJ. At
the time the negro, ivho is of a
husky build, was fulled dressed ex
cept that his shoes were off, and
one presumption is that he was pre
paring to retire when some one nit
him from behind.
Drinking of a drug alcohol ha i
been going on in the shack during
the night, and officers have been
informed that both white and col
ored men had been there at inter
vals during the night and early
morning.

Why Education Pay*
In Prison; Governor Says
Governor Gardner, always in
terested in boys because he re
tains the spirit of youth him
self, has picked up a bit of in
formation down at the State
prison in Raleigh which should
be of interest to parents in
Shelby and over North Carolina.
That is. if parents wish to
keep their sons from going to
the State penitentiary.
There are 100 boys in the
North Carolina State prison,
most of them for stealing auto
mobiles, and for breaking and
entering, and for minor thefts.
Governor Gardner became in
terested in those boys. Why were
they there? What contributed to
their downfall, and could there
be any one thing which had
something to do with bringing
all of them there to the gray
prison interior where men’s hair
Takes A Healthy Child To
Be Bright In School Work
Recently a Shelby physician in
advocating the employment- of a
full-time health nurse t-o work
among the school children of Cleve
land county, declared that "your
boy and girl may be fading in
school, and his or her failure like
ly is not because they are not bright,
but because they are not healthy.
Such is often the case. The fol
lowing letter from a parent of a
Cleveland county school child is
actual proof of the statement, and
moreover it illustrates admirable
cooperation between parent and
teacher.
The following is a copy of a let
ter received by a teacher in Falls
ton school. Such communications
| and expressions as these would keep
j teachers at the highest point of
mental efficiency, and inspire them
far more than an addition to the
pay check. The confidence and ap
preciation of parents can be count
ed safely as a fifty per cent addi
tion to a teachers efficiency. The
leUdf follows.
Dear M - _ ---:
We had our
child at the childrens’ clinic at
Black Mountain this week and the
doctors found so much the matter
with him that th_>y advised us to
keep him out of school until he has
made considerable gains. I am soiry
—inexpressibly sorry—that we lost
last year and the year before and
that we did not get at the bottom
of the trouble last spring so v e could
have made better use of vacation
time in building him up
I wish to thank you for the na
tience and gentleness with which
you have dealt with him. That, you
put up with the poor, spoiled. ner
vous. mischievous, fun-loving lad
all those months without using the
switch certainly bespeaks your pro
fessional fitness and innate fine

Come to see us. With all good

In his curiosity the governor
prepared a questionnaire and
it filled out by all the boys in
prison. They didn’t know it was
the governor’s questionnaire but
they all answered. The governor
found out most everything about
them. Some were Baptists, some
Methodists, others members of

belonged to no church at ail.

Ilardln's Resignation Became Efa
fcctlve Last Week. No
Successor.
Right on the eve of malting wha|
observers forecast as the largest cots
ton crop in history, Cleveland conns
ty is today without a farm agent fog
the first time in many years.
Last Thursday the resignation of
County Agent Alvin Hardin became
effective and the former agent turn
ed to his new business of developing
the poultry industry In this state
aud the South. Meantime Cleveland
county, which hag been taught to
consider Itself the example farm
county of all counties roundabout,
has been without a farm agent. And
that isn't all, a farm agent to suc
ceed Mr Harden is not in sight.
The entire county agent affair, for
that matter, seems enveloped in
clouds of secrecy. No one seems tot
know definitely what ia likely td
happen. On* one side the sentiment
'or a new agent, while on tlw
’ her hand there Is opposition.
Some Change Minds.
Recently, reports have It. there
has been some change In sentiment
regarding an agent. Some folks,
these reports have it, have looked
about them and decided that th«
county agent has accomplished
much in recent years, particularly
in developing the poultry game and
bringing a new source of revenue In*
to the count/. Others, it la saldy
have about reached the decision
that a political clique or so coupled
with certain private business in*
tcrests' have had much to do, ba*
hind the curtain, with the antag
onism shown recently against the
farm agent plan ip the county.
Meantime, of course, there ling
ers a considerable amount of op
position to a farm agent.
The controversy, which calms and
then breaks out again. It decides
| to do without a farm agent. The
county must keep on paying a cer
tain amount of taxes farm agent or
no farm agent, but if Cleveland has
no agent a certain portion of tax
money will go towards paying the
salary of a farm agent for same
other county since approximately
half of a farm agent's salary ts
paid by the state and federal gov
ernments.
But whether Cleveland county
j will have a farm agent or not corns
another season no one knows. Per'
haps something may be known when
the county commission board meets
again, and perhaps1 not. About all
the actual knowledge possessed
now is that the county has not had
a farm agent since last Thursday.
