I Cleveland county’s first bale of cotton this year was finned . and sold Monday, Aufust 31, one day ahead of the four bales reported on Sept. 1. last year. The bale was picked and taken to the gin by Rube Spangler of the Double Shoals section. Mr. Spangler was one of the men to take the four bales to the gin on Sept. 1 last year. Is Sold.

Notice to First Graders. All pupils who plan to enter the Shelby high school who were not enrolled In one of the elementary or the high school of Shelby ISst year, all irregular pupils, and all those pupils who failed two or more subjects last year are requested to come to the high school building Friday afternoon between 1:30 and 4:30 o’clock or Saturday between 9:00 and 4:30 o’clock. Pupils who come either Friday or Saturday will have their daily schedule arranged and will be able to begin work promptly Monday morning with the regular pupils who are already en rolled and classified. First Grade Pupils. On account of the crowded con dition of the rooms, it is requested that children be not enrolled in school who will not be six years old before January 1, 1932. All children who are to enter school should do so on the first day. This applies to all grades and should be compiled with even though it is necessary to stay out for any reason following the opening. It will be a great handicap to the child and to the class for a first grader to enter late. You are there fore respectfully requested to enter the child during the first month of school or to withhold it from en rollment till the following year.

Hoey Withdrawal Believed To Have Placed Morrison In Lead Observers Believe Incumbent Will Top Others In Senate Race. Charlotte, Sept. 2— With the Democratic senatorial campaign hardly under way and witl\ Senator Cameron Morrison admittedly far in the lead for renomination in next June’s primary, present indications are that Robert R. Reynolds, Ashe ville’s candidate for the nomination and exponent of reformation of the national prohibition laws, has a commanding lead for the second position, according to many Char lotte Democrats. The question appears at this time to be whether Senator Morrison will be able to secure a majority in the first primary or whether the combined vote of his three oppon ents and others that may announce later will be large enough to force him into a second running. Hoey Clears Waters Announcement Sunday by Clyde R. Hoey, of Shelby, one of the state's strongest Democratic and potential vote-getter of sizable dimension, that he will not enter the race to a considerable extent cleared the po litical waters. Friends of Senator Morrison had contended all along that Mr. Hoey would not be a can date and that denouncement of the matter was generally expected; but his announcement, nevertheless, did 'CONTINUED ON PAGE BIX.' Surveying Of Road To Marion To Start , Soon It Is Believed The survey work on the proposed highway link between Shelby and Marlon has not started as yet, ac cording to Highway Engineer W. A. Broadway. It is believed, however, although no definite announcement has been made that engineers will being the survey within the next week or so. Highway officials are of the opin ion that the link will be built and that construction work will begin immediately after the survey is com pleted. The new route, loining the county seats of McDowell and Cleve land, would open up a fertile terri tory that deserves better road con nection. Unemployment Problem Will Be Up To Local Agencies In Winter Months Home Groups Must Take Care Of Idle Without Any National Aid. Washington, Sept. 2.—Walter S. Gifford’s first task as chief of Presi dent Hoover’s unemployment relief organization has been to explain to municipal officials that the big idea of the Hoover plan is for them to raise the money for relief of dis tress in their localities. To remove a basic misunderstand ing, Gifford issued the following explanatory statement: “The president's organization on unemployment relief made clear again today that it is not institut ing a campaign for a national fund, but plans nation-wide support o* local appeals for local funds 11. S. To Co-operate The first step in this program was taken when national represen tatives of public and private we! fare organizations met with Mr, Gifford last week and recommend ed the period, October 19, to Nov ember 25, inclusive, as desirable for ail campaigns. In so far as all local campaigns are scheduled within this period, the president’s organization hopes to render the maximum as sistance and co-operation by mobil izing all national agencies for stim ulation of interest in local efforts. "Mr. Gifford announced that he will shortly name the committee which will be responsible for this division of the work.” Since Gifford assumed his duties only a week ago, his office at the department of commerce has been bombarded with telegrams and let ters from officials in towns and states throughout the country, ask ing, ‘ How much do we get.” His job has been to tell them delicate ly that they will get whatever they iCONTTVUBD ON PAG* «VX_, Places Hoey In Race For 1936 Governor Clyde Hoey does not desire to be United States Senator, but what would he think about be ing Governor? Anyway, he has been nominated for that office in 1936. The Salisbury Post, of which J. F. Hurley is editor, has long been a Hoey supporter, and noting that he will not make the senate race ha*' this to say: Clyde Hoey has announced that he will not be a candidate for the United States senate. The word from Mr. Hoey was expected for many of his friends knew that he would not make the race, however much there was demand for him from people from all sections of the state. No man in the state we believe is bet ter qualified for the senate than Clyde Hoey. He would not only make a wonderful showing in a con test, moot likely he would win, but what a senator he would make. It Is not always that the man best quali fied for public place can be had Public life does not suit many peo ple, they desire for something not found in office holding. Mr. Hoey loves North Carolina, the atmos phere of the state and home folks He would be an ornament in the senate, a wise and useful man In that body, but we doubt if he would ever feel entirely at home in the national capital. He would make a wonderful governor. At Raleigh he would be surrounded by people whom he loves and would serve gladly. It would be fine to place him in the governor’s chair, there to round out his distinguished career as a brilliant Tar Heel. We nominate Hoey for governor in 1936. Hoey Praised As He Declines Race For Senate Seat Thousands Desired To Vote For Shelby Man Newspaper Com ment Says. The decision of Clyde R. Hoey not to enter the race for the United States senate attracted considerable newspaper comment over North Carolina and resulted in much praise being given the Shelby man for his party service and pledge of future service. Says The Statesville Daily: "Many there be who will read with regret the announcement of Hon Clyde Hoey that he will not be a candidate for the senate. It was not unexpected, and considering the labor and the cost to one’s pocket book as well as peace of mind, with the chance of losing in a contest with three-four seekers for the same place, we have no blame for Mr. Hoey. In his case it may well be said, without suggestion of sour grapes, that "the post of honor ts the private station." Put at. that many thousands of his fellow citi zens will regret that they will not have the opportunity to vote for ^CONTINUED ON PAGE SIX » New Events For Fair Arranged; School Program Interest In Track Meet Shown Official! Plan Several Additional At* traciions. Reduced Admission Praised. Interest In the bis Cleveland County Pair is on the Increase with the opening dav less than a month off. Much talk Is heard about the re* duction of admission price by half and from all Indications the slath will bring out record crowds this fall equal to those in the past de* spite the depression. With the ad mission for all at 25 cents no visitor to the fair has to spend any more for anything unless he or she so de sires and for the admission price alone the fair visitor will have plenty to interest him or her for an entire dav. New Attraction*. Not only are the regular attrac tions of tha past fairs scheduled again this year, but the show which will play the fair Is the largest to appear in the state. Extra effort has been made to get even better free attractions and stunts for the grandstand performances and for the fireworks program as officials have realised that these two events interest more people than any other. "For four times a quarter anywhere it is impossible to get as many thrills as the free acts alone will furnish this year,” Secretary Dor ton says. “And in addition to that is the best and most spectacular fireworks program we have ever had. If anyone fails to get a quar ter's worth, the admission price, out of our fair this year, then it Is Im possible to get your money's worth ai»where. Instead of cutting down, because we have reduced the ad mission price, we are adding to the program. And what’s more we be lieve the agricultural exhibits, the livestock shows, etc., will surpass any we have had heretofore." Track Meet. All over the county interest is be ing shown in the high school track meet, a new feature of the fair pro gram for opening day, which is “school day" with all children being admitted free. Eight regular track events are on the meet program for the morning. Prises will be offered In each event and the main prise, a cup, will go to the school which gets the most points by placing more winners in the Various events. The school that wins the cup this year, according to Supt. J, H. Orlgg, will get to keep it, but after this year a larger cup will be awarded and no school may permanently until It Is won three times. All schools are urged to get their athletes In train ing for the races, Jumping, etc. Horseshoe Contest. A couple of side attractions are being considered for the entertain ment of the ci4>wds. If it can be worked out It is hoped to have 'lie horseshoe pitching champion from each of the 11 townships compete with each other for the county championship. A golf pyttlng con test and an anglers’ casting contest are also being planned.

Users of cot ton call the attention of farmers to this danger In ginning green or damp cotton In the hope that they will heed the warning. TODAY’S THRIFT LETTER It is unnecessary to advise farm owners to preserve their fruits, take care of their grain, and plant out tur nip, rye, and oats patches for the winter. They will do this as a matter of course. Unfortunately many of the renters who should (be given this advice cannot be reached through the’ press. Farm owners will do rent ers a great personal service and the community a great public service by counseling with them with reference to the conservation of fruit and grain crops and planting for winter gardens and early spring pastures. Let qvery farm owner in Cleveland county who has a tenant take up this question with him whether he is to be re tained upon his plantation or not. It will be a service that will pay in great satisfaction. R L- SMITH, Chairman Thrift Committee. — SAVE — Can the fruit, dry fruit, pick the peas, pick the beans, sow turnip patches, sow rye early for early pas ture, sow oats early for early feed. South Carolina Plan Not Popular Cleveland Acreage Hill Be Conatd erably Redured. However, la Belief Now. None of the many cotton relief plans advanced so far has struck Cleveland county farmers as "th« way out.” As it is now North Carolina’s larg est cotton producing county Is be wildered somewhat by the cottor crisis and the prospects for cottor selling from five to nine cents. The various remedies suggested, how ever, do not strike local farmers a? remedies and no great number hat agreed upon any definite course. The farm board’s suggestion that every-third row' this year's crop be plowed tyider met with ridicule ir Cleveland. The sensible farmei couldn't see the point of plowing under something he worked all sum mer for and has already made, par ticularly when he believed the de struction of his own cotton might boost the price of cotton being he In by others . No Legislation. Cleveland county farmers, in and out of Slielb.v and of course with the cotton topic foremost in then minds, likewise can see very little to be gained by special legislative sessions such as are proposed in South Carolina and other cotton states. They drop back to the view point of Governor Gardner and wonder how the cotton farmer in the South can hope to profit if he does not plant any cotton in 193i and permits the states which do no) adopt that policy and foreign coun tries to supply the year’s demand ai a higher price. Other than two meetings called tc discuss the use of cotton bagging the farmers of Cleveland count; have made no united effort to dls cuss the situation. Individually, how ever, they seem to believe that t. Is up for each one to work out hit awn salvation. Thajna is little, ii anything, to be done about thi; year’s crop, a number of leadinf Cleveland fanners believe, but nex year they are of the opinion that r will be up to them to take care o themselves. This, In all probability will be done by reducing the acre age. This year the total acreage ir the county was reduced quite a br and additional acreage given over t< food and feed crops. As a result th< farmers of the county will not bi hit as bad by the low price this yeai as they would have been last yea or in other recent years when the’ pretty near "shot the works" on cot ton and have little thought and timi to food and feed Crops. It Is gener ally estimated now' that the count; produced more grain, corn and sim ilar crops this year than in 10 years To Eat Anyhow. With a good season practical!; every farmer in the county has thu year produced enough of the live at-home products to feed himsel; and his stock, and that goes for th« tenant farmers, too, provided the; utilise all the fruits and vegetable.’ passible. A year or two ago five cent cotton would have knocked th« county for a loop, for a big per centage of farmers banked upor buying quite a bit of their food anc feed with their surplus cotton mon ey. With it. not being necessary tc purchase very much food and feed this year the cotton price will no! hurt near as much as the pessi mists think. And the lesson of this year, close observers thliik, will be a good one for next year in that it is shown what great value a Uve at-home program can be when • cash crop flickers. Forecasts made upon this basis have It that the average Cleveland county farmer in 1932 will do his own legislating and work out his own relief plans by first of all being sure that he pro duces enough other things to come out before he plants his cotton and will th?n plant his cotton accord ingly. Free Will Baptists Given Tabernacle The Free Will Baptist church now owns ant? occupies the Taber nacle on South Washington streett formerly occupied by the Church of God congregation. Rev. J. A.
