Officers Chase
Fleeing Car To
Edge Of County
Car Threw Smoke
Screen Out
Sooth Carolina Officers Chase
Speding Car, Thought From
This Section, To Grover.
York, April 7.—An automobile
dashing through Main street at a
speed of about 65 miles an hour and
emitting a smoke screen when over
taken In the heart of the business
block here by Chester county offic
ers In a pursuing car, was the sight
that startled York people late Wed
nesday afternoon.
After giving out a dense cloud of
smoke which brought the Chester
car to a stop, the fleeing car dash
ed on and the Chester car after
slowly getting out of the smoke
again took up the chase.
The 68 mile race between the two
cars, the fleeing one presumably
containing whiskey, began at Black
stock near the Fairfield county line
and ended near Grover, N. C.; when
the supposed liquor car was lost
sight of. The chase led through the
towns of York, Chester and by the
Kings Mountain battleground.
Officers Pursue
Rural Policemen Fuy and Caldwell
were the officers In pursuit. They
stated that they had overtaken the
car repeatedly but that every time
the dense smoke screen emitted by
the supposed liquor car compelled
them to stop for the sake of safety
to themselves and others on, the
road, hat the flying car passed
through York’s streets without col
liding with another machine was al
most miraculous. Several times the
fugitive car dashed between ma
chines on the street so close as al
most to brush them. That it was pi
loted by a skilful and iron nerved
driver was evident.
The smake screen it gave out on
Main street here that persons in the
midst of it could hardly see their
hands before their faces. It is under
stood that the car was from Nortn
Carolina, probably from the section
about. Shelby, but it is not known
here if the Chester officers secured
its license number.
Loss In Postal
Receipts Shown
Foetal Receipts At Postoffice Hen
Shew Decrease In First
Quarter.
A decrease in postal receipts at
the Shelby postoffice for the first
quarter of 1930 as compared with the
first quarter of 1939 is shown in the
report for the quarter made public
today by Postmaster J. H. Quinn.
The total receipts for the first
quarter this year, which ended on
March 31, were $9,318.46, or $260.25
shy of the $9,578.62 for the same
quarter last year.
Receipts during January and Feb
ruary, Postmaster Quinn says, show
ed a gain over the same months last
year, but there was a decrease in
business last month enough to off
set the gains of January and Febru
ary.
Shelby attained a first-class post
office rating in 1928 but in 1929 the
receipts barely passed the required
quota of $40,000 for the year to
maintain the ranking.

Four-Club City Uifw Proposed.
Several Mills Willing. Other
Baseball Talk.
Every indication now is that
Shelby will have baseball of one
brand or another this summer.
Major baseball talk so far Cen
ters about the reviving of a four
club city league similar to the coun
ty league circuit of last year. There
is some talk, however, of building
up an independent town team, com
posed entirely of local players, to
play a schedule with Newton, Gas
tonia, Hickory, Statesville and oth
er towns of the secdonTso far base
ball interest has not materialised
enough to tell Just what will de
velop.
Anyway a romping winning
streak by the Shelby High team has
the town red hot for baseball dur
ing the summer months.
Textile League.
Several of the. textile mills which
had clubs in the county league last
year are advocating* a city leagued
this year of four textile mill clubs
—one from Eastslde, one from the
Cleveland cloth mill, one formed by
the Dover-Ora mills, and the fourth
made up of players from the three
plants In South Shelby. Mr. John
Toms, of the Eastslde mill, is very
much interested in such a proposi
tion and is ready to hold a confer
ence with others regarding such an
amateur circuit.
Meantime there is some talk of
another loop being formed with
four county clubs In it, the winner
of the county league to play the
winner of the city league at the end
of the season.
It is likely, it is learned, that *
baseball meeting to devise some
plan for summer ball will be held
dining the present week.
