Small Farms In
Cleveland Bring
GoodProdaction
Have More Acres In
Cultivation
Only Five N. C. Counties Have
Smaller Farms. Gives More
Intensive Cultivation.
The fact that Cleveland county
Is a county of small farms is one
reason given for the; county's rank
ps one of the leading agricultural
counties in the south according to
statistics assembled uy the Univer
sity of North Carolina News Letter
Only five counties hi North Caro
lina have smaller average farms
than Cleveland, yet the farms in
this county have more acres under
cultivation per farm than a ma
jority of the other counties. This
brings on more intensive cultiva
tion and Is to a considerable extent
responsible for the county's rank as
the leading producer of cotton and
other crops.
Figures Given
The average farm owned fey
white fa-mers In Cleveland coi. •
fists of 51.2 acres. and by negro
farmers 34.8 acres. The average
farm for white farmers for the en
tire state is 72.2 acres and for the
negro farmers 44.1. Moore county
Jias the largest farms on the aver
age. 119.8 acres for the whites, arrt
49.8 for the negroes.
Of their 51.2 acre farms the
average Cleveland farmer has 26.2
acres under cultivation, or six acres
more than the state average of 20
acres. The average negro farmer in
Cleveland has 23 acres under culti
vation, while the state average is
only 17.6 acres.
With The Ti nants
Even the tenant farmers in
Cleveland have more acres of their
farms in cultivation than the aver
age tenant farmers throughout the
state. White tenant farmers in
Cleveland are listed as having 25.9
acres. The state average for white
farmers n 19.2 acres and for the
negro tenants 22 acres.
The state's largest farms, or plan
tations, are in Eastern Carolina
where each farmer and each ten
ant have so many acres that only
a small percentage of the total Is
under cultivation and due to the
size the cultivation i: not intensive
enough to give mors than average
production.
The sizes of the average farm in
Rutherford. Gaston, Lincoln and
Catawba counties arc from 10 to 22
acres larger than in Cleveland.

Mooresboro Man, Body Found In
Ditch, Died From Natural Causes
Funeral Services For Sherard Be
heler Held Tuesday At Pleas
ant Grove.
Sherard Beheler, 80-year-old citi
zen of the Mooresboro section near
the Cleveland - Rutherford line,
whose body was found in a ditch
Monday, died from natural causes,
it was decided by a Rutherford
county coroner's jury, at Avondale
Monday night.
Funeral services were held at
Pleasant Grove Methodist church
near Forest City Tuesday afternoon
at 1 o’clock.
Monday morning Jack Dobbins,
young son of Fletcher Dobbins, was
walking along an abandoned road
near his father’s home, a short 11s
tance from Highway 110, three miles
northeast of Cliffside. He spied a
walking stick in a gulley, or ditch,
by the side of the road. Crawling
into the ditch to get the stick he
** ~ j
was astounded to find there the
badly decomposed body of an aged
man. The body was later identified
as that of Mr. Beheler. His sons live
around that section and he was in
the habit of travelling alone from
one son’s home to another, and as
a result no one knew what he was
missing, one son thinking that he
was at the home of the other. It is
believed in that section that he had
been dead since Friday a week ago.
as a check-up revealed that he was
last seen that day. It is presumed
he was walking along the old road
when he suddenly became ill or suf
fered a stroke and fell in the ditch.
The body was so decomposed when
the gruesome find was first made
that it was some time before the
identity cpuld be established. He
was a well known citizen of the
Trinity community and that sec
tion along the line between Ruth
erford and Cleveland. One son,
Andy, lives in the Mooresboro sec

Next Sheriff May
Serve Four Years
If Amendment Passes In Fall Elec
tion Term Will Be Increased
Two Years.
The next sheriff of Cleveland
county may serve for a term of four
years, as will sheriffs of other coun
ties elected this year.
The increasing of the term of a
Sheriff from two to four years, mak
ing it the same length as the term
of a Superior court clerk, depends
upon a constitutional amendment to
be voted upon by North Carolina
citizens this fall. If the amendment
passes, the approaching term for
sheriffs will be automatically In
creased to four years. If it fails to
pass, the term will, of course, re
main two years as it is now. A law
passed. In Chapter 47 of the North
Carolina Public Laws of 1931, called
for a vote on increasing the term.
The matter will be submitted to vot
ers In the general election this fall,
and an interpretation made by the
office of Attorney General Brum
mitt has it that sheriffs elected this
year, in the same election in which
the amendment is voted upon, will
be elected for four years if the
amendment passes.

Forget To Put
Burke Youth In
Electric Chair
!
Youngster, His Record Lost, Ila>
hived Seven Months Beyond
Death Date.
Raleigh, May 18.-A slow-witted
white boy from the hills of Burge
county sat In his death row cell at
State’s Prison yesterday waiting for
somebody to come and electrocute
him.
For seven months Willie Rector
|had been waiting lor somebody to
(come and electrocute him. He know
1 that the <udge back home had to,d
(he was to die on October 2 of last
[year
And the tangle that the state has
got Itself into because the boy did
not die when the fudge ordered is
a matter that Assistant Attorney
General A. A. F. Seaweil will at
tempt to straighten out with the
supereme court.
In effect, the state of North Caro
lina imposed a death sentence ai.d
then forgot it. It ic the first time
such a thing has Happened In the
history of the death chair.
Without benefit of appeal or rj
prieve, Rector has been living in
the shadow of the death chair since
early last September He has seen
doomed men who leaned the grim
colony after he did make the one
way journey to the octagonal death
chamber. At the prison they no
ticed that the boy’s hi tie mind seem
ed to be cracking uadly. But thev
never suspected that the reason was
the uncertainty of more than seven
months of dread that the next min
ute would be his last.
For at the prison, the records
show that Rector had an appeal
pending in supreme court, a pio
cedure that automatically stays ex
ecution until final disposition.
In the office of the executive
counsel the record shows an appeal
pending, and action cm the pfea of
[the boy's mother for clemency held
up awaiting definite action by the
j .supereme court.
i Inspection of the spring term su
preme court docket repealed no ap
peal, nor any notice of an appeal.
Further inquiry at the office of
the executive counsel added the
information that there had been no
reprieve.
Assistant Attorney General Sea
well finally found the key to the
snarl. A transcript of the judgment
had been sent in by the clerk of
Burke superior court, who also hail
notified the prison of the appcfcl
notice. But nothing followed. With
nothing but a copy of the Judg
ment ,the case was not docketed in
supreme court. To all Intents and
purposes the state tad forgotten
the boy awaiting electrocution.
As it is the custom of the supreme
court to review capital cases in
which notice of appeal has been
given regardless of whether the ap
peal is perfected or not, the assist
ant attorney general tt ought it pos
sible that the supreme court ,woull
order a certiorari and get the case
before It for special consideration,
or otherwise dispose o* it in soma
manner to get it formally on the
record.
Otherwise nobody at the prison
wants to take the ’esponsibiBty of
going ahead with the electrocution
Rector was convicted of raping a
white girl Hts lawyer C. L. Whlte
ner, of Hickory, contended be ti re
the executive counsel that there
was grave doubt as to whether the
prisoner actually committed the
City Wants Sentiment
Of Taxpayers On 3d
Year Power Contract
Most Of Objection* K*ivd By Al
dermen Are Met By Con
tracting Firm.
City ofiicials want the sentiment
of the citizens of Shelby before tak
ing definite action of signing a con
tract foe thirty years for electric
power at a lower rate than la now
paid. The matter came up again last
night at the regular meeting of the
council, but action was delayed..be
cause of the absence of Alderman
Z. J. Thompson who Is sick.
It will be recalled that Flsher
Blake Co., propose to build in this
area an right million ddar steam
plant to generate electricity on a
sort of mutual basis with Shelby
and surrounding clti-’s and for in
dustrial plants. At tne end of thir
ty years the gene rat <ng plant will
be turned back to the cities. Powe:
will be furnished at a lower price
than Is now paid and Che cities will
share in forty percent of the profits
of the generating plant, Shelby is
asked for nothing except a .10 ycr.r
contract to buy power from th*
newly organized company. The city
would retain Its distributing sys
tem. Money will be furnished by
New Yorwk capitalists who seek a
long term investment.
Several objections raised by mem
bers of the council have been met
and City Attorney D. Z. Newton has
drafted a new contract which meets
the approval of the majority of the
city officials, but In order to ascer
tain the sentiment of the taxpay
ers, & recessed meeting will be held
this week at which It Is hoped to
determine the wishes of the citi
