Lattimore Winner Of Country Title In Tourney Here (CONTINUED FROM PAOE ONE> make a single free shot. Titles are not won with two points In a half, but the Shelby lads, dazzled by th* rapid, Impregnable defense offered by the Hood quint missed four or five shots from the foul line. Had these been caged, however, the out come would have been the same, for It was In the second half that Weathers, the Lattlmore captain, a fleet, accurate-shooting youngster who will rate with the best bask'-t eers the county ever produced, stag ed his field day. While his team mates kept the Shelby quint In the middle of the floor, Weathers flit ted here and there about the court until he got his hands upon the ball—and then it was Just too bad for Shelby. Six times in that final half Weathers flipped the ball at the basket from all angles on th’ court and just four times the ball swished through the net. In that hair Weathers scored eight points to two by the entire Shelby team, and in the entire game Weathers chalked up 15 points or one more than the best the whole Shelbv quint could muster. The play of Weathers was mas terfully supported on the defense bv the entire Lattlmore team, Calla han looking particularly good on the floor. But it was a guard. Gold, who brought back memories of "Tubby" Harrill, Lattimore's Dig guard of other days. When Shelby shot Gold took the rebound and bounded up the floor. If he couldn't locate his captain, he shot himself, and during the evening he register ed six points. Firm Mur*. Although his team went down In defeat Captain Farris of the Shelby team ranked next to Weathers as star performer. The hard-playing Shelby guard registered seven points to take second scoring hon ors and his floor work was one of the few things which Shelby exhib ited that was on a par with the work of the winning team. Rlppy also had his eye on the basket to score six points and tie for third scoring honors with Gold, of Latti morc. Lattimorr, playing superb bas ketball in the final half, demon strated their superiority beyond doubt, but the first half, with first* one quint ahead and then the other gave the fans all the run thev needed for their money even if they had not witnessed the extra treat dished out by Weathers per formance in the last half. As it is Cleveland county sport fans are beginning to wonder il there is a high school anywhere in the state which can year after year produce better basketeers than the Lattlmore school.

Ferguson, Said (CONTINUED PROM PAGE ONE; of Ferguson's grave, which was in some dispute because of the con fusion of the place he was killed with the spot of his burial. Within a year my grandfather became ac quainted with an old man, Harmon, whose Christian name I forget, who was then 80 years of age who said that as a boy of 15 living in the vi cinity of the battle ground he had gone there immediately after the battle and could point out the spot of Ferguson's burial with some ac curacy, although it had been un marked and neglected and over grown during the 65 years and was, of course, only one of the graves of the more than 200 British and Tor ies killed and buried there. "To remove the uncertainty as well as to throwr light on some other traditions, my grandfather in the year 1845 took this old man Har mon and some laborers and opened the grave, or, rather, made an ex cavation at the point designated by Hannon. He found two skeletons, or parts of two skeletons, in what was ordinary space for one grave. One of these skeletons, his doctor's training told him, was that of a woman. This was something of a confirmation of the tradition that one of Colonel Ferguson’s two mis tresses, "Virginia Sal," was killed in the battle (which enveloped Fer guson's camp an all sides) and was buried in the grave with him. As 1 recall, there is some mention of this “Virginia Sal” in Draper's history. “There was another tradition about Ferguson's silver whistle, which he wore on a cord about his neck, and used to rally his soldiers in battle. My grandfather said he searched the earth carefully for that silver whistle, but that it was not buried with the colonel—if this was his grave. He did find a rusted Mrs. Tom Eskridge, who has been ill for sometime at the Shelby hos pital, has so Improved that she was able Sunday to be removed to her home, her many friends will be glad to hear.

These officials asked my grandmother to name the new Station. They expected her o call it "Tracy,” but patriotism over shadowed family pride, and she called it “Kings Mountain"—after the battle, understand, not the mountain. Kings Mountain, the home of my youth, is by my grand mother's choice not a place, there fore, but a victory. That was along in 1870-1-2. The town was charter ed February 11, 1874. The commis sioners named in the charter are. beside my grandfather. Tracy, W A. Mauney, F. Dilling, D. C. Beau and W. F. Falls.

'* Who would want these old-time shoes anyway? You wouldn’t wear a pair of them if somebody gave them to you. People w-ant nice trim, flexible shoes that look the part of modem times—shoes that feel good on the feet. And we're not so sure the old-time shoes were any better than the good “Star Brand” shoes we sell every day. People sometimes confuse cheap, poorly made shoes with good, well-made “Star Brand” solid leather footwear simply because the price of “Star Brands” is so moderate. But they shouldn't be put in the same class at all. If you are a regular wearer of “Star Brand” International Made Shoes, you know how good they are. If you aren't, then you're still to be convinced. Just one pair of them will set you right and put you on the road to shoe economy and shoe satisfaction for the years to come. Stop in when you are ready A. V.
