Hotel Fire A Challenge.
The burning of the Cleveland
Springs hotel a few weeks ago where
many of the delegates were to be
assigned, has brought a challenge
to the citizens of Shelby. While
there are other hotels In the city,,
they will be taxed beyond capacity
and the citizens, regardless of de
nominational affiliations nave
thrown open their homes to enter
tain the delegates on the customary
plan adopted by the convention—
that is bed and breakfast in the
homes. An improvised cafe will he.
provided by the Woman's Mission
ary society of the church to aug
ment the other eating places in the
city In feeding the 1.000 delegates
for lunch and dinner. Already homes
have been secured for 500 delegates
and the canvas Is still on. To meat
the challenge brought about by the
disastrous fire, the citizens have
cheerfully agreed to entertain the
delegates, so it is safe to predict they
will be amply cared for, despite the
handicap under which the city Is
laboring.

day school forces on Tuesday eve
ning Nov. 12, at which 500 will be
