Mr. forsey Talks Shelby Finances (A Statement T o The Public From Former Mayor W. N. Dorsey, Candi date For Reelec tion.) -I thought when I read Mr. McMurry’s platform that he was kind to me in that he did not claim that he had done anything more than have his office force j collect all the money they could, and that they had paid interest on bonds and $82,000 on debts. HE SHOULD tell you where the balance of the money was spent and how much improvements made to the city—compare those to the previous administrations as well as the financial part. “THE STATEMENT in Monday’s paper is not only misleading but erroneous as to taxes. During his ad ministration the taxes wrere raised from $1.25 to $1.50, which amounts to more than $25,000 increase '•THE WATER and light I bills are much higher— more than double in many instances. Still they went in on promise of lower tax es and cheaper water and lights. ‘‘Without having the books before me, and with out the assistance of our clerk and auditor, I will make the assertion that during our last year we paid interest on all bonds and retired. PAID OFF, and cancelled about One Hundred Thousand Dollars of bonds, and reduced debts other than bonds more than $57,000. At this rate we would have had all debts against the city, ex-| cept the bonds, paid off,® and the board and I decided^ if we were reelected weft would REDUCE TAXES 25j cents on the hundred. How-2 ever, the present adminis-3 tration saw fit to raise theij taxes 25 cents and collect^ more for water and lights. | “I shiil! ask our audi tor to make a statement and if I am wrong-, sure he will correct me “If we had spent no more for improvements to the city than has been spent during the present admin istration we could have had more than One Hundred Thousand Dollars IN THE BANK. The people do not want a savings account of the money collected—They want SERVICE 12 months in the year and not just a month before the election. '1 feel like the worst mistake we made was with the police department — which I am sure will not occur again if T am elected Mayor, P W. N. DORSEY." SOCIETY I J7 ^MRS.

Lowell Plays High Outfit HereOn Friday Fornl C'ity Defeat* Locals 10 To ' In a Comedy Of Errors. The Shelby highs will play Lowell here Friday afternoon. The visiting aggregation will come primed to avenge the 25-4 defeat given them In Lowell last week when the Shelby team went on a slugging spree. Next Tuesday the Rutherfordtor team plays Shelby here. Some Game This. The title of one of Shakespeare'; plays, “A Comedy of Errors.” woulc be a good heading for the game here yesterday in which Forest City's husky team defeated Shelby 10 tc 2. Forest City exhibited a powerful hitting, fast fielding aggregation one that will be dangerous to all class B contenders, yet Shelby play ers kicked and slept away at least half of the 10 Forest City runs. It seems as if the Shelby lads this year keep all the off-playing ir their system until they play before a home-town crowd. Last week they licked Lowell by a one-sided scor* and fans were of the opinion that the new team had hit its stride Then they moved out to the park yesterday to see the outfit look like a million dollars—in Confederate money. They made errors at the very moments errors shouldn't be made. Forest City scored five runs in the first inning with one clean hit Whisnant, who started the game, walked the first batter on fouv straight balls. Then Philbeck, usual ly a sure fielder, dropped a looping fly. Shorty McSwain mussed up the next play, and then Mayhew kicked one. Forest City smacked out a hit, there was a wild throw or so—and five runs were across the plate. Pet ers relieved Whisnant in the second and for five innings pitched score less ball. Then the Shelby players began fumbling them again and Forest City started scoring again. WiLson's triple, HarriUs walk and base-running and Philbeck’s Texas leaguer scored the Shelby runs. As it was Forest City exhibited some classy high school performers R. Whitlock, big third sacker, was the king of the lot. a terrific hitter and a clever fielder. R. Hamrick first sacker, was near him in hit ting and field. The main hitting, two each. Was by P. Hamrick, left fielder, and Blanton, second sacker. Forest City made 10 hits while Shelby rattled off only five, but Shelby errored seven times to oue time for the visitor* At The Theaters Helen Twelvetrees, the vivacious little actress t\ho has risen to facia* -almost over night, heads the star, cast In "Her Man," the net, picture which opened at the Caio lina theatre this afternoon. bh( chose Phillip Holmes to pi a;, op posite her ip her big undertaking Adding to the feature program ate “Ex Sweeties" and a Paramount screen song A double program 1 : Friday and Saturday.
