Church Fire Laid to Firebugs ffc gy-maBtes mmmmm mmimmmi rnoio snow* in# painetic rum* or the Episcopal Church of AH Saint# at Worcester, Mass., after it had been pitted by fire. The loss is estimated as $225,OoO and is partly covered by insurance. This was the eighth fire in the city in one week and police believe it to have keen of incendiary origin. Police reserves have been called out to guard against a band of firebugs believed to be operating in Worcester and have orders to “shoot to kill” if their suspicions wa»~ant it. [enki’ns Would Have I see in The Star that the S. P. U. Co., has made an offer for the light plant of Bhelby, and the may or and board of aldermen have this under consideration. Before there is any action taken by the mayor and board of aider men I would suggest to them, that they get some expert figures on what It would cost for the city of Shelby to produce their own cur rent or power, This done I believe they will find that it would be bet ter for the city of Shelby to hold on to their plant and produce their own power, which I believe can be done for around half the price it is costing the city now. I am confident such a power plant would pay for Itself in a very short time, then the city could re duce the rate to the consumers which should be the main object in view. I have seen some figures of com Generate Electric P parison of unit cost with bought power and where the other plants produce their own power, the steam plants working cheaper from 30 to 64 per cent less per unit cost. If these private owned plants can make this saving, why cannot the city of Shelby dtf the same, and in a few years pay for the power plant out of the sawing? Looks to m* Shelby has a good investment in their light plant and better hold on with a bull-dog grip, lor if we loose our hold good-bye Mr. Dog. J. F. JENKINS.

It is the first time in a number of years that Rutherford met all interest and principal obligations on January 1 without issuing short term notes. All floating debt against the coun ty has been paid and Rutherford is now on a strictly cash basis. This was due to the promptness of the taxpayers meeting their obligations, also to the faithful work of the former county tax collector, M. J. Harrlll, and his associates, also to the fact that the Seaboard railroad paid their 1930 taxes last month, which amounted to *23,31048, also to the fact that state highway com mission paid the county back $56 000 which was advanced several years ago to construct highway 20 to Chimney Rock. I At The Theatres “Beau Hunks” is only the first half of the Webb big patty tonight and Tuesday. It’s a feature picture comedy within itself; in fact, the second extra length comedy made by the popular laugh reelers. "The Woman From Monte Carlo” is the other feature that completes the double program. Lil Dagover, star in "The 'Woman From Monte Car |lo” Is a brand new gal to American audiences, but the conquering queen * of Europe’s capitals. Walter Huston charmer and gives another sterling characterization. Warren William figures prominently in the cast al so. The story, specially chosen for Miss Dagover for her introduction [to America, is quite modern and I lively. All in all, the Webb has a program for family! entertainment. For more than a hundred years, “Frankenstein" has been considered “the strangest story ever told.” Mrs. Mary B. 8helley, wife of the famous poet, wrote “Frankenstein’ in com petition with her husband and two of,his writer-friends, to see who could write the most unusual story. Mrs. Shelley won the prize, and now her classic is bursting out on ten thousand screens throughout the United States, thrilling and chilling lovers of mystery plays. The title role Is played by Colin Clive. Impressive star of “Journey’s End:” .the monster role is done by Boris | Karloff, the new Lon Chaney of I the screen, who wears every ounce | of 48 pounds of physical make-up in ,his portrayal of the man made ter ror; Mae Clarke is the girl, with John Boles supporting.
