A glance back Into the files of The Star of 1918 reveals that the Shelby and Cleveland county section was thinking of things other than a political campaign and a business depression Every week citizens were gathering at the railway stations to bid farewell and wksh Godspeed to Cleveland county boys who were leaving by the tens and twenties. They were great boys in those lays, those boys, many of whom were leaving home for the first time, and some of whom never came back. Others who did come back have never been the same again. Some are crippled, many are prematurely gray, others are still invalids. Fourteen year* ago there were no finer boys living. You told them so—you and you and you. It Is mighty easy to forget in 14 years—too easy. Lying in hospitals hare and there are boys who seldom have visitors a.ny more; In fact, they are no longer boys. At home are others struggling for a living because of handicaps and the years lost while they were away. Tomorrow is one of the few days in the year when everyone can show that he or she has not, forgotten "In Handera’ field the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row—” Why repeat it all? Everyone knows the touching .verse which brought 150,000 to the relatives of the writer who sleeps t^ere with the others: If you were one of those who journeyed down to the station 14 years ago to tell the boys how much you thought of them, will your conscience permit you to go through the day Saturday without wearing one of the little red flowers In your lapel? HISTORY OF MONUMENT Off SHELBY’S SQUARE "The Confederate monument on the Shelby court square was erected November 21, 1908 and was formally unveiled on May 10, 1907 The events centering about the purchase and erection of the monu ment were the mc»t important in the history tf the citv until that timp •nw request for Information about the monument, published in this department recently, brought considerable information from Mrs. .1. F Roberts and Mrs. R. L. Rybum. Dates given by them made it possible to turn back to the files of The Star and secure other information. Here. In brief, are the facts about the monument, facts that will bring back many memories to o’oer citizens of Cleveland county: Tor several years after 1900 there was an unorganized sentiment over Cleveland county that the Confederate veterans of the county should be honored with a monument. The movement finally took shape under the directors of the members of the Cleveland Guards chapter ol fhe Daughters of the Confederacy. ftar three days in 1908—August 18. 17 and 18—the greatest home earning program In the history of Cleveland county was staged. It was cn the second day of that gathering that the monument, fund was started The home-coming event was some occasion Former wievetana citizens came back from everywhere and hundreds remember vMi! today the exciting week and the many happy reunions The proft air opened with a welcome address by Clyde Hoey, then editor of The Star. The response was by Attorney S. E. Oidney. of Oklahoma The speakers during the three days included E. Y. Webb. B F Dixon. Senator Ue rf. Overman and Governor Bob cflenn. The first night ct the homc-comlng pro gram a drama, "Under the Southern Cross” was presented In Blanton Hall. The proceeds totalled $125 and that was the nest egg for the monument. The next day tn an address Judge E. Y. Webb urged that voluntary subscriptions be taken to secure the needed amount. He start ed it off with $100. Thoe home-comers started chipping in. When all pledges were taken a total of $1,750 had been subscribed, from that per iod on pledges Were made through The Star and contributions were turned over to Miss Selma Eskridge The monument was purchased from Walsh.of Petersburg, Va., and cost $2,500 On November 9, 1906 ,the monument arrived at the 8outhem depot in Shelby and practically the entire town turned out to see tt. More than a week was required to haul 1t from the depot and erect. The erec tion was completed November 21, 1906. The Star of that date tells that the foundation was of crushed stone and cement. The main base of the monument weighed 18 000 pounds and 10 mules pulled it from the de pot. On Memorial Day. May 10. 1907, the monument, betng entirely paid for bv the Daughters of the Confederacy, the unveiling was held. John Charles McNeill, the poet, covered the unveiling for The Charlotte Ob server and he wrote that, the largest crowd tn the history of this section assembled tn Shelby for the event. The throng was estimated between right and 10 thousand The chief orator of the dav was Oovernor Locke Craig and he was Introduced by Major H T. 8cherck. Music, in cluding several renditions of the stirring "Dixie," was -urnlshed by the Rcepsvllle band And John Charles McNeill lead a po.-m he had writ ten especially for the event. Another feature of the day was a big open spread picnic dinner on the court square. The final event was the un veiling with little Misses Helen Gardner and Fltaabeth Roberts pulling the cords. And that is the earlv history of the monument which today is on* of the outstanding features of North Carolina’s moat picturesque court square. The home coming, the erection of the monument and the un veiling brought to Shelby two governors one senator, many other dig nitaries and celebrities, and hundreds of former Cleveland cttlaens as well as thousands of home folks.
