The jury, however, recommended that the young men be tenedered the mercy of the court. Judgment was reserved by Judge Schenck until the afternoon session. Spurling Speaks To Shelby Lions Court Solicitor Talks Of Juvenile Criminals. New Members In Club. Top Lions club last night had *’ probably the largest attendance at a regular meeting since the or ganization of the club. Swral vis itors were present and six new members were taken in. The new members were E. B. Durham and Harlan Jamison, both connected with the Byrum knitting mills of Shelby; J. C. Bowling, Joe Wright. Dr. H. C. Dixon and Claude Mabry. Solicitor L. Spurgeon Spurling was speaker at the meeting and was presented to the club by Bill Osborne. Mr. Spurling gave a very Informative and impressive review of the juvenile criminal situation In North Carolina and stressed the importance of building character “from the ground up" to keep boys, when they reach their ’teens, from the state's prisons. “It Is far easier. Raid Mr. Spurling. “to train the child right from the beginning thin it is to try to remodel his life of reckless morals after he has reached the ’teen age and, perhaps, begun his criminal career." The speaker cited several cases that clearly demonstrated the powerful Influence over the youth of the right kind of training'; likewise, the til effects of the wrong sort of in •fluence He also pointed out that the majority of prisoners in the state's institutions are under twen ty-five years of age. The program was concluded with several musical numbers rendered by the Orady musicians of the Ora Mill section—Mr. and Mrs. Grady and their two small sons. They played several familiar and popu lar tunes which were fully enjoyed by the club. Over 1,000 Voters Registered In County May Indicate Heavy Vote Nov. 8 New Registration In Primary And For Election Near 2,000. Re publicans Register. The lack of election talk m Cleveland ’county may' after all mean very little If the number of new voter.-, registered , for next Tuesday's general election infers anything then a record vot< may be cast in htc county. « Election officials estimated today that over 1.000 new voters have registered for the general election. This number plus the 1,000 new voters who had itielr names placed on the book for the primary means that close to 2,000 more citizens are eligible to cast their vote tills veai than participated in the general election of 1928. Many Register Here In the lour uptown Shelby pre - cincts alone near 300 voters have registered since the general elec lion registration books were open ed. Add rug- the new voters in South Shelby and the county precincts it is almost certain that the new reg istration will run to 1.000 or more. Althougn Democratic registration leads in the usual proportion it is said that in two or three precinct1 Republican registration has been heavy. In one Shelby precinct prac tically one-fourth of the new voters were Republicans. In others, how ever. the average ran about six to one. 10.000 Or Not? To surpass the 1928 vote, how ever, there must be unusually heavy voting. Four years ago over 10.000 people cast general election ballots in Cleveland county. Recalling that vote political leaders of both parties doubt if the total will be equalled next week. In 1928. the Democratic majority was around 2,100 Due to the gen eral dissatisfaction with the Repub lican administration In power Dem ocratic leaders are saying the aver age county majority next Tuesday will be very little short of 3,000, if short at'all. and they expect a 2, 500 majority although general vot ing may be light. In view of the large new regis tration election officials are al ready urging that voters go to the polls early. With 1.000 new voters eligible at the four court house pre cincts alone it is pointed out that in the last-hour rush many may not get to vote Suit Filed For Kings Mtn. Crash A suit asking damages of $11,000 was tiled yesterday by George B. Sorrells against the Atlanta and Charlotte Air Line railway com pany and the Southern railway company in the Mecklenburg coun ty clerk of court’s office at ,.$te court house. The plaintiff alleges that he was permanently injured and his car demolished on September 16 when struck by a Southern railway train at a crossing about two miles from Kings Mountain. It is said that the airline company owned the line on which the crossing is located and that the Southern Railway com pany was in possession of it at the time of the accident. It was charged that freight cars cut off the plaintiff's view and that there were no danger warnings or signs at the spot. In the accident John J. George, of Cherryvilln, who was riding with Mr. Sorrells was instantly killed.

Ignorance of Socialism con tinues to be rather enormous de spite the iact, that Thomas has ex pounded it in a long tour on which lie spoke to audience much larger than" he had tOfei had before. The Socialist program is aliaj - i interesting because 'it is so likely to forecast many of the changes In law and government which are to be brought about within the next few years. The record shows many such changes whicli were first demanded by the Socialists and although it cannot be said that they were brought about by Socialist pressure it do's appear that the Socialists grab hold of various real and ’.ines capable issues at time's when the major parties consider them too liot to handle Thomas hopes ’nat hte vote this year will bt* largt enough to spur the major parties to concede some of the Socialist demands, pending rhe dav when ■> Socially >»r>vem rAoa r*. *lv* / J iCOMtlNv'Et* a Armistice Day Celebration To Be Held In City Veteran* Plan A Big Nov. 11 Program Races.
