Establish Mail
Station At Two
Mills In Shelby
Eastside, Cloth Mill
Get An Office
Citizens Of Tm Villages Are VrgeA
To Patronize “Rural Mail
Station.”
The Eastside and Cleveland cloth
mill villages of Shelby will, begin
ning Saturday, have a new mall
service in a sub-office or rural de
livery office of the main Shelby post
office.
This was announced today by
Postmaster J. H. Quinn in the fol
lowing statement:
Beginning with February 1, 1930,
Shelby Is to have an Improvement
In her mail facilities. The eastern
section of the city is to have a postal
station to be known as "Mlllslde
Rural Station” and is to be locateu
at the store of Crowder Brothers,
with Mr. John Durant Crowder as
clerk 1n charge. It Is near a mid
way point between the Cleveland
Cloth Mill and and Eastside sec
tions of the city and will be a great
convenience to both.
The station gets its name In part
from each of the sections, "Mill”
coming from the last word In Cleve
land Cloth Mill and the "Side”
from the last part of "Eastside.” Al
though known as a "Rural Station,”
In reality, it Is not rural but Is so
called for the reason that it Is to
be served by Rural Route No. I on
which Mr. G. A. Elam is carrier.
It is to be hoped that this sta
tion will be liberally patronized by
those who live in close proximity as
It will relieve congestion at the
general delivery window at the main
office and it will remove much con
gestion at the offices of the two
mills In that section. At present
many of the employees of the two
mills get their mail through the
lock boxes of the two mills with a
source of much annoyance to them.
This station will afford a fine op-,
port unity of getting mail direct. It
is hoped that this station will be
liberally patronized. The hoars -of
service at this station will conform
to the hours at the main office, to
wit: from 8 a. m. to 6 p. m.
It is very important that all per
sons who desire to get their mail
at the station notify the main of
fice at once in writing. Please do
not overlook this notice. Of course
you are at liberty to get your mail
at either place.
Lutz Returns From
Furniture Display
Mr. Ogbum Lutz, of the Camp
bell Department Store, returned
last night from a buying trip to the
furniture exposition at High Point.
Mr. Lutz brings back word from the
great furniture headquarters that
this year’s styles are v very attrac
tive—perhaps it would not be say
ing too much, Mr. Lutz declared, to
assert that they are more beautiful
than ever before. But business, he
said, at the big show, seems to be
a trifle off.
Accompanying Mr. Lutz were Mrs.
Campbell, and her daughter, Miss
Helen Campbell, and Mr. G. P.
Smith, of the furniture department
of the store. ,

Opposition To Chain
Store Found In This
Section By Secretary
Home Merchants In Some Western
Carolina Towns Protesting,
Dowell Says.
W. L. Dowell, secretary of the
North Carolina Merchants associa
tion back In Raleigh after a torn
through this section of the state
announces to the press that ne
found considerable opposition at
some points In Western Carolina to
the chain stores.
, Associations listed as visited by
him included those at Charlotte,
Gastonhn Shelby, Hendersonville,
Hickory, 'Asheville and Marion. Mr.
Dowell was quoted as follows:
"Business throughout the section
I visited Is quiet but the merchants
are by no means pessimistic,” stat
ed Mr. Dowell. "In fact, every where
I went I found a decided note of
optimism and the concensus among
retailers is that business will grad
ually improve as the year advances,
he added.
' "The chain store question appears
to be agitating the minds of the
merchants to a large degree all
through the territory I covered, and
drastic action has been taken by
some of the towns I visited to ex
clude from membership In their lo
cal associations any person affiliat
ed with any national chain store
organization. In one city a band was
parading the streets with a large
banner reading: ‘National Chain
Stores and Hard Times, trade with
local merchants and help build
your community, to H— with the
chains.’ In another city practically
every store had placards In the
window with similar wording, and
in still another I was advised that a
citizens committee had raised $7,500
and organized what they call a
‘protective league’ for the purpose
of conducting an anti-chain edu
cational campaign. Whole com
munities are wrought up over the
chain store question and in some
places the chain stores are having
poor sledding, but in many places
the merchants are awaiting the
outcome of the chain store inves
tigation by the federal trade com
mission before Joining any cam
paign directed against them.”
Misses Edith and Sue Roberts
spent Monday in Charlotte.
In his will, W. R. Chilton, of St.
Louis left $5,000 a year to his’ girl
secretary and $2,500 annually to his
wife.

He’s Coming Back To Ca’lina

Wandering Writer Is Well And
Wants To Rent A Farm Back In
His Paradise.
Editor of The Star:
We wish to broadcast the fact to
landowners throughout the state of
North Carolina, that we are now
ready to go back to the old North
State and start raisin’ trters', cot
ton, com and wheat, and other
products of the soil in the capacity
of tenant farmers.
Our kids are now all "cotton pick
in’ size,” and while they have per
sonally had little experience with
growing things, they are all very
ambitious to have a tilt with the
soil, and “WE” their parents, have
decided that’ we would prefer to
have them raised up as Farmers
and Farmerettes than to have them
grow up in the modem cities. We
have also decided that too many
people are flocking to the towns
and that there are not enough peo
ple staying on the farms.
We were both raised in the coun

take boys and girls away from the
country, you cannot take the coun

Laurlnburg Man Remembers When
Cleveland Citizens Had Little
Else To Trade.
Cleveland county, now North
Carolina's leading producer of cot
ton, gets each year now a couple ot
million dollars tor her major cash
crop, but It was not so very many
years ago that the farmers ot this
county had very little to carry to
market other than dried apples and
wool socks.
So says Judge T. C. Everett, ot
Laurlnburg, Scotland county, whose
father operated a trade house here
Just after the old Carolina Central
railroad (now the Seaboard) came
to Shelby.
Interesting Memories.
The reminiscences of Judge Ev
erett are very interesting in that he
recalls that Cleveland now consid
ered the most prosperous farm
county In the State, once hardly
knew what it was to have spare
cash on hands.
Came In By Buggy.
Judge Everett was talking recent
ly with Editor O. L. Moore, of The
Laurlnburg Exchange, a native
Clevelandlte, and he began to tell
Mr. Moore of the old days in
Moore’s home county. His first trip
to Shelby, when he came as a boy
with his father, Judge Everett said
was by rail to Buffalo station and
then by buggy to Cleveland Springs.
Among other things Judge Everett

the senate.” The statement was

ment was given to the Robesonlan
with instructions that it was not to
be released until today.
“I do not see why there should
be any doubt as to my position in
the senatorial contest. After giv
ing the matter most serious con
sideration I have reached the con
clusion that the best interests of
the Democratic party and particu
larly Its future harmony and solid
arity would be best served by the
renomination of Senator Simmons,
notwithstanding the fact that dur
ing the last campaign I followed
my own convictions and loyally
supported the national ticket, in
sharp conflict with the attitude of
Mr. Simmons and thousrnds of
other Democrats who held a con
trary view” former Governor Mc
Lean said.
