Webb Boys “Cocky”
But Have Thie Goods
Thinks Golf Writer
The president of the Carolina
golf association writing a golf fea
ture in the Charlotte News says
that the Webb boys, of Shelby. Pete
and Fred, are a bit cocky, but can
deliver the golfing goods on the
course. A paragraph concerning
them follows:
“Those cocky Webb brothers of
Shelby continue to conquer all who
essay to doubt their prowess as a
doubles team of golfers. However,
next Saturday they will meet Fred
McCanlesa and Alexander of the
Myers Park club, and I doubt tf
these two country boys will be able
to match up with the two city
slickers awaiting them on the home
course. Anyhow all praise for the
Shelby boys. They have opened ti e
eyes Df a lot of players,*who though,
they were a fish in the pan.”

Rate King Jury Served With
Ice Cream, Drinks And Auto
Ride-York To Pay The Bill
Trial Expenses Less Than Expected
Despite Lemonade And
Ice Cream.
Cost of the trial of Rate Km?,
convicted of the alleged murder of
his wife Faye Wilson King at Sha
ron, January 25, and who was tried
in Chester county under change of
venue by Judge J. Henry Johnson,
is $2,362.26 and more to York coun
ty, which must bear the expenses,
according to an itemized statement
filed with Clerk of Court T. E
McMackin of York county bv Clers
J. E. Cornwell of Chester county, in
forms The Yorkville Enquirer. The
Chester clerk in his statement to
the York county clerk itemizing ex
penses of the trial, goes on to say
that—"I will state that there will be
several witnesses to come up jet
(with their bills); but this will
hardly run over $10 or $15 if that.”
The general expectation was that
expenses of the trial in Chester to
be borne by York county would be
$7,000 or more and Clerk Cornwell
goes on to-say, “The reason that
this expense is as lew as possible.”
Ice Cream For Jury.
York county was charged $2 fcK
ice cream for the King jury. The
Enquirer adds. They also drank 1.15
worth of lemonade, for which the
county pays the Whitesides cafe.
Robert Woodward of Chester charg
ed the county $15 for taking the
jury to ride. The Carolina Inn was
paid $457.65 for board and lodging
for the jurors. The pay of tne jur
ors was $615 and constables 1 >r
keeping order charged $216. Re
pairs for damaged doors and the
change for fan rent, cleaning the
courthouse, telegrams and postage
etc., total $120.36. Sheriff Howze
charged a total Of $55 for going to
Clemson college three times hi
connection with the case and for
use of two cars in hauling the Jury
around. J. Henry Oladden, the
court crier of Chester, was paid $20
for “calling court.”
< Damage To Courthouse Door
The crowd attendant on the trial
did some damage to Chester's new
courthouse, according to Clerk
Cornwell, the crowd "rushing a door
and breaking it do vn. The front
door is badly sprung now and we
have had nothing done to it; but
it is used so seldom. There were
also several metal screens damaged,,
but no amount U included for
them.”
It was awfully hot in that court
room and it took a lot of ice water
for the crowd and the court offi
cials, attorneys and ithers. York
county’s part of the ice bill during
the trial was $6.10,1t is noted in the
itemized statement submitted by the
Chester clerk. The biggest cost, of
course besides Jury expenses, was
for the payment of witnesses and
their mileage, and physicians tes
tifying got extra fees for “expert
testimony” or rather as expert wit
nesses. Chemist B. F. Robertson of
Clemson was paid $28.70; Dr. Mc

Farm Board To
Advance Money
To Bay Cotton
Funds To Fanners Cash If They
Need It. To Come Through
Co-op.
It Is Announced from Washington
that cotton farmers are to receive
the full cash eaulvalent of this years
crop In advance whenever they are
"In distress and must have money,”
under the plans announced by the
federal farm board.
The funds will be advanced
through the cotton co-operatives.
The board itself will advance 35 per
cent of the value of the crop, 65
per cent will be loaned by the fed
eral Intermediate credit banks, and
the remaining ten percent will be
paid from the capital reserves of the
co-operatives.
How much money actually will be
required was said by the board to de
pend solely on the needs of the co
operative association. It is expected
that the sums Involved in this year's
marketing operations will run some
where between $5,000,000 and $10,
000,000, but board members said
they stood ready to go as tar the
industry required.
The advances to be made by the
board will be on cotton upon which
a definite value has been fixed by
hedging in the future market." A
statement accompanying the an
nouncement said th« effect of the
secondary loans to be made by the
board would be “to permit the co
operative associations to make final
settlement with a member (rower
when the latter desires to sell his
cotton without forcing his cotton on
the market *t time when buyers al
ready may be over-siftplied.”
Eastside Winner
In Ruling Handed
Down Over Contest
Remains Tied For League Lead With
Cleveland Cloth. Play
Saturday.
The Eastside club of the Cleve

night regarding a protested game
by Dover-Ora.
This means that when the Cloth
mill club and Eastside hook up here
tomorrow, Saturday, afternoon at 3
o’clock thrt the game will practical

interest than any since the Shelby

its third state title. Lily Mill plays
Dover-Ora in the second game of
the double bill.
At the meeting of league man
agers last night, presided over by
President J. R. Robinson of the lea
gue, Eastside was given its victory
in the protest game, leaving that
team and the cloth mill without a
defeat during the season. Several
other protests were taken up, but
for the most part they dealt with
decisions of umpires which cannot
be reversed by league officials.
It was decided, also, at the meet
ing of managers that the two lead

Robeson and Johnson counties

In speaking of Robeson's sur
render of cotton production honors.
Mr. Wiggins rejoices that it has
passed to Cleveland since Robeson
had to surrender it. But he says
the idea should not be gained that
it is poverty stricken because her cot
ton crop has dropped. The boll wee
vil forced Robeson and Johnson
counties to abandon cotton as their
only money crop. Now Robeson is
producing four million dollars wor» i
of tobacco which is equal to the
value of 40,000 bales of cotton
Peanuts is another money crop
which is a revenue producer. Since
tne lertluzer to grow peanuts cos\s
only $4.60 per acre, peanuts Is as
profitable as cotton.
In driving through the county
this week Mr. Wiggins made an in
vestigation to see if any boll wee
vils could be found. When he saw
a field that was ‘‘suspicious,” h®
got out of his car and searched
closely, yet none was found. “You
may have a few, but not enough
to cut your cotton crop, "said Mr.
Wiggins. He was astonished at the
prospects of a bumper crop.

To Give Local

—— , (in
Would Aid Home Men To Better ’
Compete With Chain Stores,
Sold.
A gigantic merger plan, from the
local viewpoint, now on fool here
would combine the business of every
grocery store In Shelby owned and
operated by home capital.
The plan for merging the buying
power of all the local grocers, an
that the Individual grocer might
buy cheaper on the market and
offering stronger competition to the*
sell cheaper to the consumer, thus
chain stores, has been discussed
quietly here for some weeks. Pub
lic. announcement of the hoped-for ;
merger, however. was not made .:
until yesterdsy. following a meet

with Gastonia grocers and officials
of manufacturing and jobbing in

merger with the idea of helping *.ne

The Shelby grocers attending are

than a score of such stares, the
merchants collaborating with each

How Plan Works.
“The workings of the plan as

like this: We get ail tfad 'local
stores, those owned by home man.
we can in the merger. The inter
iors and the personality of each
store remain as they are, the ex
terior. the advertising and the sell
ing plan being as one unit. In oth
er words, each store in the
will have its front painted in
as are all stores In the union. The
name of each store will be
Quality Service Store. Each week
representatives of the combined
stores will visit town to redecorate
and trim the windows. All the
grocers in the merger will each week
agree upon a number of special*
for that week, combining.their spe
cials into one advertisement Id th*
newspaper under the firm name ol
the Quality Service Stores, bu»
carrying also the location of each,
of the groceries where the special*
may be purchased and the name of
the owner. -
"By the plan the local grocer
does not give over, or sell any
stock of his store to the combined
group. He retains entire financial
supervision of his atom and does
not pay any membership dues or
charges for being a pan of the
chain, as the movement originated
by manufacturers and jobbers is
with the idea of keeping the home
grocer in business by “having him
and the scores of other grocers unite
their buying power so that they,
may purchase in volume and thus
secure lower prices for themselves,
and, in turn, for their customers. )
The advertising and boosting ex- <
pense of the stores Is to be borne,
for the most part, by the menu
facturers whose plan it is and whose
products are advertised in the spe- ,
cials each week. It gives the home |
grocer the buying power of a mam- i
moth chain—and that must be to*
salvation of the individual busineu t
