Maci.ean Will Not.
Aaleigh, Feb. 29—The field of po
tential candidates for the Denio
eratic gubernatorial nomination was
•arrowed further yesterday by the
announcement of A, D. Maci.ean. of
Washington, leader in the 1931 gen
eral assembly of the forces, for State
support of the Constitutional school
term withoutorecourse to tax on
land, that he would not enter the
race. Following by two weeks the
announcement of the decision of Jo
sephus Daniels that he would not
seek the Governorship the Maci.ean
statement leaves only three men
known to be seriously considering
running who have as yet made no
definite announcement. They are
Gen. Albert Cox and Speaker Willis
Smith, both of Raleigh, and Sollct

Much Lespedeza
To Be Sown By
County Farmers
Big Recommendation
Of Farm Board
Hay And Soil-Building Crop Un
known Here Few Tears Back
Now Popular.
All Indications are that a record
crop of lespedeza will be sown in
' Cleveland county this year.
Just a few years u'go lespedeza,
the hay and soil-building legume,
was practically unknown in Cleve
land. Then Cleveland farmers be
gan to look about few something to
hold up their soil and at the same
time increase the hay crop in ord
er to cut down the outgo for feed
produced elsewhere. At that time
farmers in Union and Stanly coun
ties were boosting the value of les
pedeza and the county farm agent
and a number of farmers made a
1 trip of inspection there. Lespedeza
was started here and has proved
successful, it is said, in nearly every
instance.
One of the major recommenda
tions of the county board of agri
culture, in a recent meeting here to
outline ft farm-improvement pro
gram was to urge that increased
acreage be given to lespedeza. As a
result of the success had by farm
ers who have tried it and because
of the recommendation many
farmers will sow the legume this
year for the first time.
Time To Sow.
It win be time to. sow lespedeza
at any time now on through the
last of March, according to ft, W.
Shoffner, county farm agent, who
would recommend seeding as early
as possible. Discussing the prospect
ive crop, the county agent says:
"The method of seeding depends
on the type'**# soil. If your soil
seems to be packed down and crust
formed, it would be advisable to
break this crust by some means.
Some use a weeder and some a har
row. Esther method is satisfactory.
After this crust is broken, the seed
can be sown and no covering ne
cessary.
"The County Board of Agriculture
recommended lespedeza very high
ly as one of the soil improving
crops, hay and grazing. Now is tl>e
i ime while seed are cheap to se
> cure a small amount and get a
start. This is a legume that has
been pro* en and recommended by
authorities. We take no gamble in
sowing lespedeza."

County Schools
To Operate For
Regular Period
| Continue After State
Support Ends
' State Support For Six Month;
Ended Last Week. Districts
Keep (Joins.
There is no indication that any
school in Cleveland county will be
forced to close because of short fi
nances before the regular closing
time, J. H. Grigg, county superin
tendent said today.
Reports from Raleigh last week
had it that schools in several sec
tions of the state would likely close
at the end of the six-month period
of support by state funds.
Keep Running.
Cleveland county long term
schools opened early last summer
in Order to close later for the cot
ton-picking cotton, and as a re
sult of the early start six months of
school work was completed last
week. This marked the end of the
half-year period in which the
schools operated on state funds. All
the long-term schools In the coun
ty, however, were continuing today
and Will complete the two addi
tional months on district funds as
heretofore.
The regular six months schools in
the county started late because of
the cotton-pioking and as a result
completed only four months work
last week and therefore have two
more months to Operate on state
support. i
Practically all of the schools in
the county, long and short terms
will complete their school year
around April 20.
County Teachers To
Aid Milk Campaign
Teachers Hear Milk Campaign Pre
sented Saturday By Shoffner.
Grigg Reports
A large number of teachers were
present at their monthly meeting
in the high school auditorium Sat
urday, February 27.
R. W. Shoffner in a short talk
explained the “milk for health
campaign,” that was started by the
state board of health in order to
get before the people the benefit
of milk. This can best be done by
getting the plan before the chil
dren. The county committee, Messrs.
Shoffner, Grigg, Dorton and Smith
will announce the plan for the
county soon.
The president, Prof. B. F. Bird
spoke of the N. C. E. A. which is to
meet in Charlotte. March 17, 1,8, 10.
Delegates were elected and all
teachers were urged to attend this
great educational meeting.
Supt. J. H. Grigg was asked to
give report of the N. E. A. whieh he
attended in Washington, D. C. last
week. He responded with a short
talk, but impressive talk on the
great inspirational meeting.
The teachers then went to group
meetings—high school, intermediate
and primary. Each group reported
an interesting, helpful program?

Political Pot Simmers In State;
Cox May Enter Race For Governor
Might Get Danjgls Influence And
“Help" From Morrison. Mrs.
McKee Thinking.
. !
Raleigh, Feb. 29.—Politics in North j
Carolina may now be described as
having reached the “simmering”
stage and may be expected within
the next two or three weeks to reach
the "boiling” point. The three can
didates for the gubernatorial nomi
nation made speeches the past week
and will have more such engage
ments in the present week and from
now on. Also, there are signs of more
activity among the candidates, for
other State offices, to say nothing
of the contest for a seat in the
United States Senate.
Moreover, there has been a grow
ing belief in Raleigh and over the
State that General Albert L. Cox,
former superior court Judge and
World war veteran, may emerge
from his seclusion of months and
get into the race for Governor.
General Cox admits that he is be
ing encouraged extensively, and an
nounces that he will let it be know^
I what he will do by the latter part
of this week The other prospects'
might as well be eliminated, unless
Solicitor Thos. McNeill, Lumberton,
decided to do a little whirlwind
campaigning for the nomination.
But this General Cox matter is
getting more toe-hold. It’s sort of a
swell and whether it will burst or
grow seems uncertain. There are
tnoes who say that if Oen. Cox can
get Legion leaders behind him, the
Legion will “go down the line” for
the former State commander. Also,
it is intimated that his platform
might coincide largely with that of
Josephus Daniels, and, in that event,
he would be likely to get the Dan
iels support, for what it may be
worth. General Cox was in Wash
ington last week, and it is presum
ed that he talked with members of
the North Carolina delegation, prob
ably including Senator Cameron
Morrison. The two are friendly. It
Is known that Senator Morrison has
money. It is presumed that Gener
al Cox, as other candidates, will
need help. It is being suggested that
—well, that maybe there is an un
derstanding. At any rate, it is as
sumed that with legion support and
financial help, General Cox would
make a strenuous campaign, es

1 Gas Price War
Getting Nearer
ToThisSection
Difference 5 Cent*
In County
Retail Price Drop* To UH Cents
In Kings Mountain Aren. Still
20 Here.
The battle lines of the rax
price war are eloeinr In about
Shelby for the first time.
Automobile owners of Shelby and |
western Cleveland county oyer the!
week-end became deeply Interested;
In the close approach of the price
cutting competition.
For 18 months or two years gas
stations along highway 20 between
Gastonia and Charlotte have been
engaged In price-slashing, bringing
the per gallon retail price to low
levels. But until recently the cut
ting did not reach Cleveland coun
ty. Last week, however, stations In
and about Kings Mountain began
selling gasoline at the retail price '
of 15H cents, and during the latter!
pan or tne week the low priced ga*
began to creep nearer and nearer
Shelby.* Just beyond Buffalo, about
half way between Kings Mountain
and Shelby, one station was yester
day reported as dropping the price
to 15% cents. Stations in and about
Shelby were still quoting gas today
at a figure running around 20.2
oents per gallon.
An amusing angle of the price
cutting Is the story of a filling sta
tion operator just west of Shelbv
who went to Kings Mountain last
week and purchased several hun
dred gallons of gas at the retail
price of 15% cents, brought the ga.
back to his station and held the
price up by retailing It at a frac
tion above 20 cents.

| Wandering Dollar Bill Handled By 110 People
In Week; Purchased Many Things During Round
Grocery Stores. Theatres, Barber

A dollar bill put la circulation
Saturday afternoon, Feb. 2(J, at 3:30
by The Star passed through the
hands of 110 people »in a week's
time, or until 9 o'clock this morn
ing.
The bill, which galloped all over
Shelby and purchased practically
everything money will buy, was
spent first at a drug store and
wound up this morning in a grocery
store. In the intervening time it was
spent numerous times at grocery
stores, at barbershops, in pool rooms,
at theatres, at filling stations, at
taxi stations, and in cafes. In that
time It bought everything from a
shoe shine up to a membership in
the Warren Hoyle American Legion
post.
It isjft a known fact that a boot-''
legger handled it, but one anony
mous spender of the dollar wrote on
the slip of papfer- "Here goes my
last dollar for a quart to have a
good time. Good night!”
Carried Notebook.
When The Star put the bill in
circulation Saturdav reek ago a
notebook ^vas pasted on It with the
request that every person handling
the bill write their names and the
hour spent upon it. Every one who
handled It. it is presumed, did so.
