The local team might have won j by a larger margin had it not been for intermittent fumbling on the offense. It was a colorful end to the sea son as Capt. Max Putnam, husky fullback, crashed over the line for the one and only touchdown Good Record. The eleven this year started out slow and had poor prospects at the start. The line looked fairly well but the backfield was inexperienc ed and light. Trampled by the heavy eleven at Charlotte In the opening game ,the local outfit un derwent a series of experiments for the next week or so until the back field was strengthend and remodel ed. Later Max Putnam, captain, was shifted from the line to fullback to add weight to the drive and a couple of the new hacks started develop ing. From that point on the eleven gradually Improved and picked up power. There were only two more defeats—one by Forest City before the local eleven was In full stride, and the other by the powerful Gas tonia team. Other annual rivals of the Shelby eleven fell before the on slaught of the strengthened team. Hcnderaon was defeated. then Kings Mountain. Lowell, Ruther ferdton and then Cherrvville Fri day.

Is After City Light Plant; Offer A Million ■ CONTINUED t'ROM PAC1K ONE.i earnings from the light plant have averaged about *60,000 which is a .six per cent return on a million dollars. Prior to that time the earn ings were less, but with the city growing, the earnings are likely to increase when business returns to normalcy. The city's bonded Indebtedness when the audit was made during the summer was *1,182,000. Should the light plant be sold at this fig ure, the city's entire bonded indebt edness would be wiped out and make it possible to reduce the tax rate to *60 on the *100 property valuation or thereabouts. At pres ent the tax rate Is *1.15. There are many things to consid er in connection with the sale of the plant. Under municipal ownership, the earnings run around *60,000 an nually in addition to the fact that besides this revenue, the city has lights for its streets and for the motor at the municipal water plant. Should the plant be sold the city would have to buy electric power for street lighting, water plant, etc, and this would cost ! several thousand dollars annually. On the other hand, It is pointed out if the plant were owned by the Southern Public Utility Co., the plant would be listed for taxes at around *800.000 which would bring In tax revenue. Patrons of the light plant would effect a considerable saving in light bills, except on elec tric cooking ranges, as the rates of public service corporations are set by the state corporation commis sion. All public service corporation rates are cheaper than Shelby’s municipal rates, except rates for heating purposes. j Southern Public Utility Co Is the i subsidiary retail end of the Duke I Power Co. and aside from owning retail plants in a number of cities | in the two Carolines, purchased last ! year a down or more rural lighting J.systems and the plants at Bolling I Springs, l^ttimore, Mooresboro ; and Rutherford county points.

With how much authority or information they speak is not known. But they are sure Mr. McLean will not be a can didate, even though the Raleigh editor may be seeking to have him run and may promise his support. Mr. Daniels may not run himself, because it might complicates mat ters if his close friend and former subordinate. Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt, should be nominated and elected president, or if his friend and former associate in the Wilson Cabinet, Newton D. Baker, should do likewise. Mr. Daniels might feel like a secretaryship or an ambassa dorship in such a case. Being gov ernor would complicate matters, and failing to become governor—it would at least be an undesirable condition. Mr. Daniels is quoted as saying to friends recently that he will say nothing as to his possible candidacy until after the first of the year-. If there is to be a candidate suitable to Mr. Daniels, he is yet to come out. Doubt is expressed that he will enter or that he can induce Mr. McLean to enter. Who then? Many there are who claim the lists are closed and that no others than R. T. Fountain. A. J. Maxwell and J. C. B. Ehringhaus will be In the race. At the present writing, that appears a safe bet. But, of course, much could happen In the seven months until tVe pri mary Haywood’s Talk. People who know the Rev. Oscar Haywood, recalling that he intro duced in the 1927 general assembly several bills of the sensational kind, and has otherwise shown a spec tacular Inclination, are not surpris ed that he gave voice to a rumor at the Baptist state convention in Winston-Salem last week that Sen ator Cameron Morrison is financ ing the campaign being made against him for his seat by Robert R. Reynolds, Asheville, with "wet" leanings. Senator Morrison Ignored the statemen, saying it was foolish Cap'n Bob Reynolds denied It, also [dubbing it foolish and ridiculous. That will be the general verdict of the people of the state. Those who iknow Senator Morrison is classed I as one of the dryest of the dry. are giving no credence to any report that he would be aiding the cam paign of a "wet," particularly when that campaign is to oust him from his seat in the senate. Cap'n Bob goes a bit further by saying he is receiving no financial aid. from within or outside the state, but would welcome contributions Wonder World of rulure Will Be Ruled by Women * * • * - * + * Famous Novelist Predicts a Golden Age of No Difficulties 250 Years Hence.

Princess To Portray Syrian Pictures (CONTINUED PROM PAGE ONE > ’ " .... leaves an Impression of something Indefinitely eastern upon the minds of her auditors. Choosing for her theme. "Under Syrian Stars," there followed a no table portrayal of the manner, cus toms, ideals and aspirations of her native race. "In Biblical days it was known as the three Syria®—upper central and southern and until the mandates of England and France in 1920 it was divided into five prov inces—Aleppo, Bamascus, Beirut, Jerusalem and Lebanon; today the little land is divided only by poli tics.” Princess Rahme, with degrees from universities in this country and Syria paid high tribute to her adopted country for “the English language, the development of my native talent and for the knowledge of Christ." With a beautifully worded tribute to the land of her birth, the Prin cess evinced the hope that some day her native SyTia would again play the Important part in the af fairs of the human race as she did in the early centuries. Princess Rahme brought her message to a close by singing with her secretary. Miss Lu cille Burgess, an old Syrian folk song in the ancient Syrian airs and words. Tonight at 8 In the High school auditorium, Princess Rahme will show her own moving picture of i Palestine, "Gems of the East” which she filmed on her recent visit to the land of her birth and will al so present one act from her drama of Ruth and Naomi.

Booming Byrd For 1932 Race Win Seek To Have Virginia Dele gation Committed to Native Son. Washington—Virginia, mother «f presidents, is going to put forward her own favorite* son, former Gov ernor Harry Flood Byrd, for the democratic nomination for presi dent next year. Senator Carter Glass, dominant figure In the state's democracy, an nounced he would seek to have the delegation committed to Byrd. Sen ator Claude L. Swanson, the other Virginia senator has previously said he favors Byrd’s candidacy. Glass coupled his statement with recent activities of a neighboring state’s favorite sou. Governor Al bert C. Ritchie of Maryland. But among politicians here Glass’s move was interpreted primarily as an at tempt either to postpone a decision until candidacies crystallize at the convention, or to obtain the vice presidential nomination for Virginia. | Likelihood of the presidential nomination coming to rest below the Mason-Dixon line is believed to be small. Prom the western wing of the party, as represented by Senator Burton K. Wheeler, Montana, came another attack on Ritchie. “I do not think Ritchlo has a chance for the nomination,” he said, "and I want to warn the dem ocrats that if they permit some of the party’s bosses to block the nom ination of a liberal and a progress ive they will find themselves faced with a third party next year.” Ritchie has Deen making speech es and holding conferences with leaders in many sections of the east recently.
