Cannon Cleared.
Washington, Feb. 8.—Bishop Jam
es Cannon, Jr., today stood cleared
of charges brought against him by
four ministers of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, south, but at least
one of the accusing churchmen be
lieves the result a “blunder.” As the
militant prohibition leader prepared
to resume his church activities as j
soon as his health permits, I»r. Cos- j
ten J. Harrell, one of the four who ,
filed the charges, said they were |
doubly sure they were right after I
hearing the evidence. Harrell, a1
Richmond (Va.) pastor, said the evi-!
dence included “some very astonish- .
ing admissions by Bishop Cannon.;
The committee did not vote with us,’ i
he added, “but time will doubtless
reveal their blunder,”

Keep Golf Club j
Here Operating
Plan Country Club
Method Now
May Add Social Affair at Club
House To Present
Golf Club.
Shelby citizens interested in
maintaining the golf course and
country club house at Cleveland
Springs will gather ai a dinner to
be held Tuesday evening, February
17, at the Hotel Charles.
At that time the futufe of the
golf club will be worked out and all j
citizens desirous of retaining an as-1
set that has meant much to the I
city are asked to attend and help j
v.ork but necessary plans.
Club House Plan.
One idea advanced is that the j
club house at the golf course be j
transformed into the country clubj
plan where ladies of the town may |
stage small parties and teas, and j
vhere a general get-together com-'
Piunity meeting place may be avail
able at all times. At present tne
club house Is used only as a locker I
room, club house, and for showers. [
The plan of centering quite a bit of j
the city’s social life there In con-1
nection with the golfing phase has J
met with approval so far.
The course is now in good condi
tion and promises to be in belter
shape this spring than ever before.
During the winter golfing interest
. as at a low ebb here, hut the meet
ing on the 17th is expected to stir
up new enthusiasm which will re
sult in an active year at Cleveland
Springs. If the country club method
works out, it is planned to have a
continuous series of tournaments
;or and women and with teams
from neighboring towns and cities.
• Shelby,’’ says one citizen behind
the movement to instill new inter
est in the golf club, “was one of the
first towns in this section to have
a golf course, and from it we have
received valuable advertising. We
have one of the best courses in Ine
two Carolinas and 't is such a >
worthwhile asset to the city, in ad
dition to the sport for those who
play, that we cannot afford to
permit it to run down upon us.'’

Star Nows Bureau
Raleigh, Feb, 9.—Hardly had the
smoke of battle on the six months
state operation school bill cleared
away and the education committee
of house and senate buckled down
' try to find the additional $11.
000,000 to $13,000,000 it requires, be
fore the road proposal, one of Gov
ernor Gardner’s major measure-'
sprang into the center of the stage
of the North Carolina general as
sembly, and gives promises of being
one of the big contest'-- of this weec.
Two bills were introduced-last Fri
day, one carrying the governor's
recommendations, the other conti i
uing the present highway method,
blit with changes. Oniy one prov„>
ion is the same in both bills—a .de
cent tax on gasoline, of which two
cents going to the county roads, hue
by different routes.
On Radio.
Governor Gardner will make a
radio address tonight urging citi
zens of the State, who desire tax re
duction, to have the., representa
tives support his road program.
General provisions in the Gard
ner bill are well known. It wou.T
abolish the nine highway distr’ ts
and the nine commissioners, making
the state a single district arid the
rommission state-wide with a chair
man, received $7,500 a year for ft«ll
time, and four commissioners re
ceiving $10 a day whiie on duty. The
state would take over the 43 000
miles of county highways and main
tain them with two cents of the ga ;
aline tax and a million dollars ad
ditional each year. Trie state womc
take over all highway machinery
and all county convicts and use
them for highway work, Tlic coun
ties would still have to take care of
their road bonds and interest.
The Other bill leaves the commis
sion as It is, abolishes all of the
county, township and district road
beards, returning road matters to
county commissioners The two
cents on gasoline, about $6,000 000
a year, plus another million, would
go to the counties, prorated on a
basis of one-third on area, one
third on population and one-third
an number of registered automobi’es.
Two or more counties may join as a
road district.
Many protests

president of the U. S. Good Roads
association, continued his attack on
the Gardner plan at P meeting of
county commissioners in Raleigh last
Thursday, when an organisation
was formed and a resolution adopt

McNwain Bill Chanced Only In
Maying Auditor Should Be
Appointed.
The McBwuln bill, which proposes
to consolidate three Cleveland coun
ty offices into an office to be known
as county auditor with the provision
that Mr. A. E. Cline be named to
the office, was passed Friday In the
house after the original senate bill
had been altered in two paragraphs.
Tlie bill as changed will now .go
back to the senate lor coasiderutiou.
The original bill proposed that
the offices of county acountant, tax
supervisor be made into one office;
that, a member of the board of com
missioners should not hold the of
fice, and that after the present
term, in which Mr Cline would lie
appointed to.fill the office, it be an
elective office
The changes in ' (he senate bill
when offered in the house does not
effect the consolidation itself and
differs from the original only In
that it says the office should be ap
pointive as. is the office of county
account now; and that after the
present term the county auditor may
not be a member of the board of
commissioners, but that the change
now should not cause any of the
board members to resign who were

Cameron Morrison Boosted Now
For Vice President In 1932
i Dry Stand Draws Attention
Charlotte Paper Says New Senator
Becomes Prominent in
Rapid Manner.
Senator Cameron Morrison Is
headed for the Democratic nomin
ation in 1932 for vice president of
the United States, his friends who
have been carefully following his
record at the national capital are
beginning to predict with ever
growing confidence, says the Char
lotte Observer.
They give reasons, too, reasons
that appear to be puncture-proof.
Some of them even declare that Mr
Morrison's ‘ political luck” If you
wish to call it that, may bring him
the .democratic nomination for the
presidency.
Reasons For Forecast.
Here are some of the reasons
they forecast he will be the vice
i
presidential choice:
He lias gained much attention
from the national press during the
five weeks he has been in the sen
ate, Only this week Colliers maga
zine in its weekly Gentleman at the
Keyhole section carries a picture of
Mr. Morrison and devotes two col
umns to him under the title, “Of a
Vanishing Breed. ' The artleJe is
quite complimentary. .
Likewise, he has had editorial
comment and front page publicity
in the metropolitan papers and his
recent statement on the availability
of Governor White of Ohio for the
Democratic nomination has gained
national attention.
Senator Is New Timber
