Talkies Take
* Away Sole Fun
Of Deaf People
Shelby Deaf Say Talking Pictures
Deprive Them Of One Lone
1Show Pleasure.
; Occasionally progress has heart
aches attached thereto.
While the big percentage of
American movie fans, includ ng
those of Shelby, are heralding the
latest successful invention the talk
ing movies, better known as the
“talkies,” there is a class which Is
deprived of one of its greatest
amusements thereby.
Think what the talkies mean to
the deaf?
Talking, on paper, to The Star
yesterday Tommy Hamrick, well
educated young son of Mr. T. W.
Hamrick, and Robert C. Miller,
former instructor for the deaf at
the State school in Morgan ton, both
of whom are deaf, declared that
the advent of the talkies had taken
away from the deaf one of their
greatest pleasures, expressing the
hope that the silent pictures would
remain, in one form or another,
for a long time.
Miss Stillies.
“The deaf certainly miss the
silent pictures,” young Hamrick
wrote. "Those of us so situated as
to make it possible attended the
movies every other day when the
silent pictures were being shown.
Now since the talkies have arrived
we get very little benefit from the
theatre, except when we pick out
days the ailent pictures are being
shown! Occasionally we attend the
theatres on days when talkies are
being shown, but we go only-to see
the comedies and the news r«.ls;
we get nothing out of the talkies,”
The average movie fan likely has
never considered the plight in which
the talkies have left the deaf peo
ple. Unable to get anything trom
stage shows because they cannot
hear the spoken. voice, and unable
to participate in the average amuse
ments of those not deaf, the deaf
people for years have found j’-eaf
pleasure and entertainment in the
movie houses. There, when the
silent pictures were the go, '.hey
could read the titles and sub-titles,
keep the drift-of the plot and en
joy the show as much as others not
so handicapped—in fact, enjoy it
more beoause with other pleasures
denied them the movies meant far
more to the deaf than to hearing
people. Now the talkies have to a
degree removed that pleasure in
which they could participate equal
ly with others.
When the Vitaphone Is not wont
ing properly and there is little co
ordination between the sounds and
the actions upon the screen a talkie
is as much of a puzzle to the theatre
goer as the Chinese alphabet. Think
how much could be secured from a
picture without titles, if the talk
ing could not be heard?
"It is impossible for us to read
the lips of the players,” young
Hamrick writes, and movie fans who
haVe tried to do so when the talk
ing was not plain will readily realize
how impossible it is. "Sometimes,”
he continued, “we catch the drift of
the story as all people must do in
the movies, but it is hard to figure
it all out to the extent that one
will enjoy it. We miss the silent
pictures terribly. They meant so
much to us, but I guess they will
stay awhile yet for a certain class.
We have that to thankful for.”
Campbell Open* New
Cotton Office Here
Mr. John Campbell. for some
years cotton buyer for the McMurry
firm and prior to that time an in

from the McMurry firm and openec.
a new cotton office of his own in
the Lineberger building just over
the Western Union.
Mr. Campbell at his new office
will represent the Lowery Brothers,
of Columbia, S. C., one of the larg

Pick Jury Today In
Trial Of Gastonia
Strikers For Murder
Testimony May Be Restricted To
What Happened At Tent
Colony.
Charlotte, Aug. 27.—A brief court I
session this morning to conclude
hearing of defense motions, and ex
amination of state’s witnesses in
private by defense attorneys ‘.his
afternoon, were the outstanding ac
tivities in superior court proceedings
involving charges of murder aga*nsf
16 Gastonia cotton mill strikers and
leaders. The 16 are accused of be
ing responsible through a conspir
acy for the death of O. F. Aderholt,
chief of police of Gastotnia, who
died June 8 of wounds received in a
fight at a tent colony maintained
for strikers by the National Textile
Workers union and International
Workers Relief.
Court officials today hoped to get
under way tomorrow with the final
phase of the case, the selection of
a jury and actual hearing of evi
dence. Deputy sheriffs tonight had
summoned all who could be found
of the 200 veniremen chosen for
possible duty on the jury.
At mis mornings court session
Judge M. V. Barnhill, of Rocky
Mount, assigned by Gov. O. Max
Gardner to conduct a special term
of court, overruled a motion of the
defense for an amended bill of par
ticulars. But in turning down this
move he indicated that he would
confine the evidence to occurrences
on or about the tent colony and
would not permit incidents that oc
curred between April 2 when a strike
was called at the Loray mill of the
Manvile-Jenckes company, and the
time of the shooting, to be brought
into the case.
“I will intimate,” said the judge,
“that it is the purpose of this court
to limit it /evidence) to conspiracy
about the grounds where the shoot
ing occurred.”
Approximately 85 state witnesses
appeared at the court house today
for the defense examination. They
had originally been summoned for a
special term of Gaston superio*
court a month ago but a change of
venue took the trial to Charlotte.
The defense attorneys conducted
their examination in private but In
the presence of prosecution attor
neys. In North Carolina this ques
tioning of prosecution witnesses
prior to the trial is permitted in
capital cases when the defense re
quests it. The defense excused 37
of the state's witnesses without
questioning.

County League
Honors Up To
Saturday Game
Battle Between Cloth Mil! And
Eastside To End League
Season.
If it doesn't rain, which it did
last Saturday, the Cleveland coun
ty league curtain will drop Saturday
and either the Cleveland Cloth mill
club or the Eastside team will bp
the pennant winner.
Due to a re-arrangement of the
two final games of the schedu'e
these two strong teams, both unde
feated this year, will lock horns, or
cross bats, with each other in the
first game of the last double-head
er Saturday at the city park.
Rain Checks Good.
Last Saturday tne two trims
were scheduled to meet in the frame
which would have decided the
championship, but it rained. The
second game rained out here Satur
day was between the Lily mill "lub
and Dover Ora. The coming Satur
day’s schedule had the four Shelby
teams playing at home but lacing
different opposition. Due to the fact
that the Cloth Mill-Eastside game
will really decide the series it was
decided by the clubs involved that
the rained-out schedule of last Sat
urday be played this Saturday as
the final game of the season in
stead of the schedule arranged for
Saturday. This means that the
Cloth mill club and Eastside will
start their game at 2 o’clock, with
last Saturday's rain checks holding
good for admission this Saturday.
Dover-Ora and Eastside will play it:
the second game of the double bill.
The Lawndale and Union g»m?
was played last Saturday, but the
Boiling Springs-Knob Creek game
was not. Whether- these teams will
follow the regular schedule Sctur
day is not known, although Presi
dent Robinson has been advised that
Knob Creek and Boiling Springs are
ready to draw the season to an end.
Pitcher’s Battle.
With another week’s rest the
strong Eastside and Cloth mill
teams are at fever heat to get at
each other on the diamond. 'Both
camps predict victory. The East
siders cannot see how Sherrill Ham
rick can be licked, and the Ray-m
ites do not believe the opposition
can stick a bat to Curly Smith's
hooks. The two premier high school
stars are in fine condition for the
tilt and if Saturday’s game isn’t a
nip-and-tuck baseball affair the
cause will likely be found elsewhere
than on the mound.

supporting the two teams to get a
bit more excited about the big game
it is anticipated that the contest
will draw the largest crowd of the
season.

No Front Side To Court
House Here, Many Argue
Xl
Cleveland county’s court house
in the center of Shelby, either has
no front side, or it has four front
sides, according to prevailing opin
ion about Shelby since the question
was brought up in the "Around Our
Town” column of The tar.
Many citizens of the city vho
have seen the court structure for
years had never for a moment
thought about which side was the
front side until the question was
asked here recently by a photo
grapher, but now it is one of the
big arguments in Shelby.
“The court square when Shelby
was surveyed was the center of the
town and the court house, the pres
ent one, was erected in the exact
center of the square.” is the pre
vailing argument, "therefore each
of the four sides is the front s'de
as it was not built to face any spe
cial direction but to face in all four
directions, the building being erect*
ed exactly along north and south
lines. In the lobby of the court
house, in the exact center of the
building, there is a small hole in
concrete floor which is the center of
the square and of the town as orig
inally surveyed. This spot centers
the corridor no matter which door
you enter the court house, and since
the building was so erected the idea
was that all four sides were to be
considered fronts.”
Another view upholding the north
side as the front side is an archi
tectural technicality. The corner
stone of a building is usually placed
on one of the front corners, as Is
evidenced by the postoffice and the
Masonic temple, and the cornerstone
of the court house is on the right
corner of the north side as you
emerge from the building.
Perhaps, since all debating the
question would be pleased, it is best
to answer the controversy by saying
that each side is the front, side.

exhibition matches, which, they as

Yellow And White Races To

preached on "Wliat Is the Newest
Democracy of Jesus?"
The educator is 69 years old and
terms himself "100 per cent black
man, whose ideal is to see black,
think black and walk black."
"The time has come when ne
groes must begin to think and act
for themselves thoughts and actions
that become daily factors,” said Dr.
Checizzli, ‘‘for while the ethically
minded white man may be ready to
help in the dcvc'opmcnt of the ne

bread from the mouth of his race
and feed the negro, as race preser

considered as a possibility that the

and that susequent government re
ports may bring the figure still
lower.
It Is still to early, how;ver,

there is still too much tim* In

While the boll weevil has eon-1
tlnued to prosper and increase in
numbers, It has not done as exten

that cotton has been shedding badly,

every square that is shed means
one less potential boll of cotton.

Revived Movement To TUce County
Native In Farm Agent Office
Turned Down.
If Cleveland county does have an
other farm agent, and the much de
bated question remains in doubt, it
is now a certainty that he will not
be a home man.
This information has been handed
down once and for all by I. O,
Schaub. head of the North Caro
lina extension service, it was learn
ed by The Star here today.
An Effort Made.
In the last week or two several
citteens in the county, it is under
stood. have written Mr. Schaub ad
vocating that he reverse his ruling
about not permitting an agent to
serve in his own county, the ap
peals setting forth the qualifications
of Mr. Haylus Moore for the lob.
No reply was received for some
time. then. The Star learns, came
the letter from the extension direc
tor saying that his former decision,
a ruling followed over the entire
state, would stand. First of all, it
tr, understood Director Schaub point
ed out that he had investigated Mr.
Moore's qualifications and believed
that the Boiling Springs man did
not have sufficient experience in ex
tension work to become agent for
a county of Cleveland’s sire at the
present time. He further pointed
out, as he did in his previous mes
sages. that the extension depart
ment had learned by experience
that an agent could not get along
successfully In hto home county m
he could not secure the same co
operation as would be ordinarily
expected if working in anotner
county.
Just what the next move In the
(arm agent matter will be The Stir
does not know and cannot prophesy.
There Is still a considerably demand
that the county should fill the of
fice left vacant by the resignation
of the last agent, Alvin Hardin, who
left the office on the 15th of this
month. Unofficial supposition upon
the part of some is that the coun
ty commissioners have delayed ac
tion in the matter to await the sec
ond appeal to the extesion director
for a home man, and it is now an
ticipated that some action will like
ly be taken by the commiasionrs at
their next regular session Monday.
Three Wive* Charged
To Him, He Fails To
Appear For Hearing
James Wray. Facing Doable Bigamy
Charge. Not Present For 3
Trial Here.
On occasions it is hard to explain
to one wife, and it must be quite a
task to explain allegations of hav
ing three wives. Anyway. James
Franklin Wray, 31-year-old white
man of the No. 3 township; failed
to show up in county court here to
day to face a bigamy charge.
Last week In connection with a
case dealing with illicit relations
among members of his own family
it came out that Wray might have
more wives than the law permits
and he was ordered to appear her#
today to be tried for bigamy, bql
when the case was called Wray fail
ed to answer.
The charges of the court are that
Wray has a wife living in Bessemer
City, another in Cowpens, and the
third with whom he lives in No. 3.
The allegations remained to be prov
ed but they are that he married
Wife No. One, who lives In Besse
mer. in 1918: Wife No., Two, who
lives in Cowpens, in 1933. and Wife
No. Three in 1936, not having ec
ured a single divorce.
Whether either of the three al
leged wives of Wray knows that he

not known.
