Two Percent Of
Population In
U. S. Idle Now
Census Bureau Gives Out Figures.
Lists 24.114 Unemployed in
North Carolina
Washington. Aug. 25.—A total of
2.598.151 able-bodied Americans,
comprising two per cent of the
country's total population has been
listed by the Census Bureau as un
employed last April and looking for
work.
The total was announced on the
basis of preliminary returns from
every section of the country. The
bureau explained that six other
classes of unemployed were, not in
cluded in the present total, byt
added that those "without a job"
unquestionably constituted the bulk
of those to be listed as unemployed.
Forty Per Cent F.mployed
Because tabulations have not been
completed on the number of persons
now gainfully employed, a definite
comparison Was not available. The
bureau estimated, however, employ
ed would approximate 40 per cent of
the total population. This would
bring the number Idle to approxi
mately five per cent of the nor
mally employed population.
By States, the percentage of job
seekers ranged from 0.5 in South
Dakota and Mississippi to 3.2 in
Rhode Island and New Jersey and
3.3 in Michigan.
The other cases to be covered by
the unemployment census include
those having jobs but laid off with
out. pay; persons unable to work;
those having jobs and voluntarily
idle, and vacationists and others
drawing pay but not at work.
Important Idle Group
The group laid off without pay
was considered particularly impor
tant In coal mining districts where
the bureau reported a disposition on
the part of miners to report them
selves laid off rather than jobless,
even though they have done no
work for a long period. Many in
the group were believed to be in the
same economic status of the job
seekers. A good portion also was
expected to represent workers laid
off for short periods for seasonal
or other temporary reasons. Other
classes were nbt considered Impor
tant in consideration of the unem
ployment problem but will be in
cluded to avoid confusion.
The number of unemployed in
North Carolina was given as 29.114
or less than one per cent

Hunger Is Shown By
Loot Taken
Cottonseed Meat Stolen From Two
Farmers. Palmer's Store
Robbed.
Thieves made three costly rams
in Cleveland county and Shelby
some time Friday night, robbing
two farm granaries and one Shel
by store.
The store robbed was that of Os
car Palmer grocery, and all Indica
tions were that the- thieves mas',
have been hungry and had planned
for a big feast. Among the articles
missed from the store were three
100-pound bags of flour, two hams,
two sides of meat, eight boxes of
bacon, several big cakes, cigars and
other things.
Want To Work.
The two farmers who nad sup
plies stolen were Mr. Colin Edwards
of the Belwood section, and Mr. Jov
Hord who lives on highway 18 north
of Shelby. The raid at the Hord
place indicated that the thieves
might do some work later for two
wheat cradles were a part of the
haul. Fourteen sacks of cottonseed
meal were also stolen freftn Hord.
Four sacks of meal were stolen
from Edwards.
Officers with only a slignt clue or
so to work upon are inclined to be
lieve that one gang may have stag
ed all three robberies.

“Ma” * Ferguson
Loses In Texas
Houston Publisher Defeats "Ma”
After Stirring Campaign
There.
Dallas, Tex., Aug. 25—His lead
mounting slowly toward the 100,000
mark, Ross S. Sterling, of Houston,'
wealthy chairman of the state high
way commission, Sunday received
scores of congratulations on his se
lection Saturday as the Democratic
nominee for governor.
An unprecedented number of
Texas voters was believed to have
expressed a preference for Sterling
over Mrs. Miriam A. "Ma” Fergu
son, former governor and wife of
James E, Ferguson, was impeached
while in the governor’s chair. More
than 800.000 votes had been unof
ficially tabulated by Texas election
bureau Sunday and most observers
expected the total to exceed the
833,442 votes cast in the first "pri
mary this year, which set a new
high mark. , -
Grasped Opportunity,
Sterling, known in the vicinity ol
Houston through his philanthropic?,
his civic work, his building enter
prises and his ownership of the
Houston Post Dispatch, grasped his
first opportunity for statewide serv
ice when he accepted an appoint
ment as chairman of Governor Dan
Moody’s highway commission three
and one-half years ago.
Opposed to the Houston man,
who is a novice at stump speaking’,
was James E. Ferguson, one of the
most adept campaigners that Tex
as had produced in many years,
w-ho bore the brunt of the cam
paign for his wife. Seldom has a
campaign been as bitter. Immed
iately after the first primary. Ster
ling said the Issues were “Fergu
sonism” and honesty in govern
ment and “Farmer Jim’’ replied ;
with character attacks on Sterling j
and Governor Moody.
Sterling and Mrs, Ferguson were
high among 11 candidates in the
first primary. Mrs, Ferguson led
the field in the July race. As she
did not have a majority o? votes
cast, however, the runoff race was
held. j
County Growth Good
A# Well As Shelby’s
Only Three Counties In Stale Had
Bigger Gain In Ten
Years. \
That Shelby's remarkable growth
since 1920 was upon a sound basis is
shown by the fact that the county
population also revealed a consTHei
able gain. While Shelby was lead
ing all towns and cities in North
Carolina in percentage gain. Cleve
land county was surpassed by only
three counties in the state in pop
ulation gain.
Spgaking of the growth of Shelby
and the eounty, The Salisbury Post
says:
“It seems that Shelby made the
largest percentage of population
gain in the state between 1920 and
,1930. Good publicity for the Cleve
land capital, and we are rather dis
posed to believe that this gain was
made without resort to the enlarge
ment of boundaries and padding of
suburbs. Cleveland county has re
ceived *a lot of splendid publicity of
recent years on account of agricul
ture making such advances, and the
I city of Shelby has no doubt been
helped along by such publicity. It
is a good town as any one can see
by driving through."

How Sheriff Allen Thwarted A Kidnapping Plot
A Story Of The 1929 Strike Troubles Related After A Year.
Foil Plot To Involve Innocent Men
iBY RENN DRUM)
This is to be a story of a very in
teresting event which took place a
year ago. It is being related, pub
licly, for the first time,
i Often in the newspaper game a
reporter gets wind of a good story,
and gets all the details, but never
| publishes the story. Many news
| paper readers do not know that;
I they believe a newspaperman al
ways publishes his story. He does
not. Newspapermen of America to
day know enough unpublished stor
ies tp rock the i#ation with thrills
an<j sensations. They are withheld
for public good, or for other im
portant reasons.
This, then, is such a story. A
story that will not be suppressed
forever, but may be told after a
year. Important figures in public
life know that when a story is to be
kept secret it is best to take the
newspapers in confidence rather
than attempt to keep them in the
dark.
Sheriff Irvin Allen did just that.
Remember, just a year ago, when
kidnappings and assaults were fea
turing the determined drive to get
the Communistic labor agitators out
of Gaston county and the surround
ing textile industry section?
Remember one night when a
Kings Mountain mill worker, Tes
sener, was reported to have been
taken from his home by masked
men. carried across the South Caro
lina line, flogged, and dumped
there? Remember the wide publi
city given the affair because it hap
pened in Governor Gardner’s homo
county? Remember how the in
vestigation. conducted by the Gov
ernor's executive counsellor, a Su
perior court, solicitor and other of- ■
ficers, failed to develop any clue7]
Remember how interest in the af
fair gradually dwindled away, al
though hundreds were still curious
to know what happened0
Well, what did happen? It
wasn’t a mystery to all concerned.
There were those who said Tes
sener was kidnaped and flogged by
mill owners and officials or by
thugs employed fty them. Others
said that the Communists them
selves flogged Tessener in order to
aid their cause by winning sym
pathizers. Tessener himself and
members of his family blamed it
upon a mill official of Kings Moun
tain and the proprietor of a Kings
Mountain mill store.
If Tessener was right, why were
the men not brought to justice?
Here’s why—Tessener was wrong. It
is an interesting, story. .
