Buried Treasure Hunt Near Shelby Is Made At Night Hlrknrv Men Reported To flarf Dog All Night At Foot Of Tree Hero Hickory August J9 -Search for Buried treasure is as old as the world, but Hickory has contributed it least two expeditions recently to add to the numberless adventures if thus sort. It becam" known here today. The latest went forth a few days! ago when a quartet went to a farm j not far from Shelbv and dug all j night at the foot of a big tree, so it j is reported. The story goes that one man who; had heard the tale from some of hts relatives, became convinced that j there was money buried at the foot! of a certain tree in Cleveland coun ty. He interested some companions in organizing a searching party., and Monday night they drove the long j distance from Hickory to a point< beyond Shelby where the treasure trove was alleged to be. All nfght long, the rumor says, the men labored at their task. When; morning came a great hole yawned —but no hidden wealth had been uncovered, "We just didn't dig deep en ough," the leader of tpe expedition is reported to have confided to a ’ local friend in telling of their hunt ; A few weeks ago local men were reported digging for buried treas- 1 ure on a farm near Linville, in Avery county. For a time there was i a rumor that one of the searchers ; had found a big sum of money in a : lead covered box. Then the owner i of the farm from which the buried treasure was supposed to have been taken sought to secure a portion of ] it. by entering suit charging larceny of the money. The case was drop ped before it came to trail and it is said that the prosecution was unable to dig up any evidence to substantiate the charges preferred.

Think Gardner May Be Given Cabinet Place Roosevelt Admires Shelby Man Hi* Good < hanrc fn Bf Sc^rctari i Of Arrirulture !>r«piu n»n Irti Attitude. Bv M R Puni.Vgan, Mar Newr* Brnno.i Raleigh Aug, IS Governor o 1 Max Gardner, now at hi* home in Shelby for hi* summer vacation, i* no v looked upon as havinR a j mighty Rood ehance of landing a place in Governor Franklin n ] Roosevelt's cabinet if the New York Governor is elected President in ' November, if reports seeping down from Washington are to be credit ed. Moreover, these reports plare the North Carolina Governor in the Cabinet as Secretary of Agriculture not as a Secretary of the Navy as five of the eight North Carolinians who have ever been in a President s cabinet have been cast Governor Roosevelt ha* a vety high regard for Governor Gardner, it is known, and confirmation of surh a relationship is shown by the art top of the two Governors when at the Governor’s Conference in Richmond, Va , some few months ago While the visiting governor, were bring piloted to places of In terest in the Old Dominion, the New York and North Carolina chief executives slipped off and confer red privately for two or three hours It is a foregone conclusion that they talked of politics and prospects. j Governor Gardner* "live-at- J home' program for the past three j years, which Is nothing more or teas than a movement to get farm- j ers to grow first what they, their! families and their stock can use j then turn spare time and energy to such cash crops as cotton, tobacco and peanuts, has received national recognition and favorable comment and is now being followed in other states; That is probably the main reason hi* name Is being suggested for the portfolio as Secretary of agriculture. The closeness of Josephus Daniels and Governor Roosevelt, the former Secretary of the Navy, the latter hi* assistant., in the Wilson Cabinet. Is not expected to cause any trouble between the two governors, al though It. is a matter of record that Mr. Daniels is not a great admirer of Governor_Oardner. Neither did the late Walter Hines Page recom mend Mr. Daniels so highly to President Wilson, it is recalled. If Mr, Daniels wants anything from Roosevelt, if elected, and the hon or of having been his boss for eight years may be enough, an ambas sadorship might answer the pur pose. Mr. Daniels' age might pre vent. him from accepting a strenu ous position, anyway.
