The Main Reason.
An old negro had made several
unsuccessful attempts to Join a fash
ionable negro church. One of the
deacons told him to go home and
pray over It and get the Lord's opin
ion. The preacher, hearing of this,
the next day asked Sam If ne had
prayed, and what the Lord advised
him to do. Sam* said. "The Lotd
said, no wonder you can’t get In
that church. Sam; I’ve tried to get
in there myself for the past twenty
years.”

Henry E. Harrill was solved when
his body washed ashore at the
Laboratory Cotton Mills dam, two
and one-half miles Southwest of
Llncolnton, on the South For* rive",
at 8 o'clock this morning.
The body was recovered by A.
M. Miller, of Iron Station, who had
been placed on guard at the Lab
oratory dam during the search for
the body. After being told by
his young daughter that a body
had floated tinder the bridee, he
went to the dam in his boat, and^
la trying to get the body out of
the water, his boat went over the
dam, and Mr. Miller barely missed
being drowned himself.
Mr. Harrill left his home on Sun
day night, two weeks ago, and was
last seen near the river oa the
next Monday morning. He was a
well-to-do farmer, living one mile
North of Llncolnton, and it 1c
believed that despondency over ill
health was the reason for his sui
cide.
Coroner F. P. Barkley, said that
it was a case of suicide by drowning,
and that there were no signs of
foul play.

Shakesearean Play
At Kings Mountain
(Special to The Star.)
Kings Mountain is to have u rave
treat Friday evening in the form of
Shakespeare's ‘Merchant of Venice,’
which is to be presented by the
Avon players at the Central school
at 8:15 under the auspices of the
high school senior class. Probably
this community has never experi
enced an opportunity of seeing or
a local stage a Shakespearean play
presented by a cast, several of
whom are actors of national fame
and who are playing principally lr.
cities and in colleges such as C'lem
son, Wlnthrop, Converse and Bre
nau.
Mr. Joseph Selman, nusines-:
head of the~organhsation, presented
hla plan of touring the south vlth
the Avon players and of staging
performances under the auspices of
leading schools and colleges to the
National Educational association at
its session lit Atlanta, and, having
won their commendation has been
touring Oeorgia and the Carolina.-,
since then.
The star wlib plays Shylock in j
the Avon players is Mr. Frederic'-:
Q. Lewis, whose fanie has carried
him to London and to Rome fti d to
other world capitals In the princi
pal role of plays by ShakesDeare,
Ibsen and later writers. In 1322 Mr.
Lewis played Horatio in "Hamlet ’
with John Barrymore and in 1923
toured with Sothcrn and Julia
Marlowe in repertoire. Later he
played Joseph Surface in Mrs. Sam
uel Insull’s production of "The
School of Scandal," Louis XV In
Madam Pompadour,” and Sir Wil
liam Hamilton in "Frail Emma,”
The cast that supports Mr. Lewis
are artists who for many years navi
been Identified with the very best
in the American theatre.
The stage setting are executed by
Don Carlos Du Bots, furnishing a
background unsurpassed Dy cny
preceding Shakespearean produc
tion. The costumes are furnish'd by
two well known theatrical supply
houses. These and the stage settings,
necessary for a complete perform
ance are being transported by a spe
cially designed truck. The players
travel in automobile.
Ellenboro Farmers
Hear Farm Speaker
(Special to The Star.)
Ellenboro—More than sixty farm
ers heard James M. Gray, Chilean
nitrate of soda expert from Raleigh,
at a field meeting last Friday to
harvest the com and study the
yields In the com fertilizer test con
ducted cooperatively by the vocc
tional aglcultural department of tne
Ellenboro school and the Chilean
Nitrate of Soda Educational bureau
at the Rutherford-Cleveland coun
ty llhe on highway 20.
The plot fertilized with 200
pounds of nitrate of soda as a side
dressing proved to be the most
profitable way of fertilizing uom
despite ths fact that another plot
m the test made two bushels nure
of corn per acre. The corn was of
ficially weighed and the yields were
found to be: Plot 1. fertilized with
350 pounds of an 8-3-3 fertilizer at
planting time, 14.7 bushels per acre:
plot 2, fertilized with 200 pounds of
nitrate of soda all as a side-dress
ing when the com mas twsween
knee to thigh high, 27.8 bushels
per acre: plot 3, check, (no fertili
zer was used*, 7.4 bushels ps: s ere:
plot 4, which was fertilized with
"50 pounds of acid phosphate mixed
with 25 pounds of muriate of potash
at planting and then side-dressed
with 200 pounds of nitrate of ,">da
gave a yield of 29 bushels of torn
per acre; plot 5, which was ferri.iz
ed the same as four except 300
pounds of nitrate of soda we; j used
yielded 27 bushels on the acre basts.
The cost of the fertilizer per ~cre
on plot one is >83.75 and the profit
above cost of fertilizer $3.53. The
200 pounds of nitrate of soda on
plot two which is worth $5.00 gave
a profit per acre of 815.44 while the
cost of the fertilizer on plot four
figured to be $7.86 with a profit per
acre of $13.63. The $10.48 worth of
fertilizer used on plot five returned
a profit per acre of $9.13 Lasc. sear
in a similar test, where com war.
planted following peas the y.e:d on
the 200 pounds of nitrate of soda
plot was 54.3 bushels with a profl'.
per acre of $16.82.
The demonstration clearly showj
that com needs an abundance c' a
quickly available source of nitro
gen Just before the earing stage.
An estimating contest was held
and $7.00 in six cash prizes will be
awarded as soon as a check on the
cards can be made lo dctermuit the

Old Man Fall.
Charity and Children.
It is rather a pathetic picture to
see old man Fall, once in the Unit
ed States senate and a member of
Harding's cabinet, sitting in a roll
ing chair and making the battle of
his life to save his reputation for
moral integrity which he failed to
establish before the great body of
lawmakers in Washington. It is a
tribute to the senate that he was
convicted of bribery and left the
trial in disgrace. His punishment
was a long time coming but it came
at last with crushing force. The
way of the transgressor, even of a
prominent transgressor, is hard.
