to take advantage of political "pull.
Such was the situation that Gover
nor Gardner could hardly inject,
himself into the picture and other
political leaders were held back in a
similar manner. Many citizens com
plained that as a result of lhis poli
tical handicap Cleveland in the road
program was treated little better
tlfan a "red headed stepchild. ' Ev
ery move on the part or citizens of
any section to secure needed high
way routing in the county was usu
ally branded ns a move for favorit
ism
Then came the reorganization of
the highway system with the state
taking over all county, highways, ft
was hoped here then that under the
new program and system the county
might receive additional roads of the
improved type But once again, as
numerous citizens contend, Cleve
land, tied down by. political handi
j caps, was shunted to the edge. In
I the creation of the five major divis
ions of the new system, this county
was placed in Division ft with head
quarters at Asheville. Cleveland is on
the extreme eastern rim of the div
ision. Just out of the D division be
i ginning at Gaston a nd just in the

The next move was to sub-divide
the five divisions into districts. Div

people are inclined to believe that

Under the 10-district plan, before
the highway system was reorganized,
this county could seldom gain the
the ear and attention of the district
commissioner. When highway 18 was
surfaced with tar and gravel, giving
the county its first surfaced road
oilier than the county-seat to coun
ty-seat Highway 20 route, the lower
section of the county was not pleas
ed by the routing made bv the com
mission engineers. It is still a "sore''
topic of conversation today. A mass
mcc<ing with the highway lommis
sioners in attendance was held at
the court house. Citizens and their
attorneys attempted to show how a
certain routing would be more bene
ficial by passing through a more
densely populated section. When the
hearing was over, with the commis
sion engineers refusing 10 revise
their routing plan, the commission
ers immediately endorsed the route
which many citizens or lower Cleve
land opposed. The road w:a$ built
along that route
Today the county has two modern
roads, the paved Highway 20 and
I the surfaced Highway 18, together
with a strip of surfaced road east
from SJ.vibv to Gaston county,

Revolting Matter Disposed
Of.
In county court this morning
Judge Maurice R. Weathers
handed out a HO-day sentence to
a negro who bear* the most
peculiar name in the county.
His name is James Several
Thousand-Dollars-Until - I - Die
Morris and he was given a sen- 1
tence for an assault on a color
ed woman. He i* a native of the
Charleston section and declares
the name above was the one
given him at birth. He has been
in the court before.
The county court had busy se. -.
sions both Saturday and Monday. |
but today’s session ended before|
noon and was not as long as the'
usual Monday docket of week-end
cases
Evidence and details in one of the
eases heard Saturday were the!
most revolting ever heard m a pub- i
lie trial here. A negro main beyond
middle age, and a white woman of
the Lawndale section were charged
with illicit relations. The technical
guilt of the defendants was not
proven in a convincing matter but]
revolting conditions were revealed
about the woman's home in the al-j
leged association of the woman and'
her young daughter with men. both
black and white, according to tes
timony of neighbors and officers.
The negro was ordered out of the
state and the woman was ordered to
enter a sanatorium. The court room
was cleared of women, young boys
and girls and all negroes before the
evidence was heard
a second nearing ol the ca.se cen
tering around the finding of a bot
tle of whiskey in the court house
last week, said to belong to a whits
i trusty, was taken up Saturday, The
trusty, T F Oreen, who was work
ing as caretaker on the court
! square, stated on the stand that 'he
pint had been given to him by Louis
Webb at the City cafe. Webb took
the stand and denied the statement,
| declaring that, he had seen Oreen
turn over a dollar to Jim Morrison
after the former had received the
whiskey. Green declared that lie
did not know Morrison, and when
the latter came in the court room
the farmer trusty stated that he
might have seen him before and in
the cafe at the time he received the
whiskey but Morrison, he declared,
had nothing to do with it.
Webb was placed under a *1Q0
bond while the matter is being given
further investigation by officers, and
Oreen, his freedom as a trusty re
voked. was returned to jail. No ad
ditional warrants were issued
The docket today consisted for
the most part of minor eases devel
oping over the week-end in the city
and the county.
