Unless adverse weather conditions bring considerable damage before fall, this year’s Cleveland county cotton crop promises to be one of the best in years. Numerous farmers say that they have the best stand they have had in five years or longer, and during the recent hot weather cotton has been growing rapidly. As a result the county crop is advanced a week or two ahead of the normal season Indications now are that the county will make close to 50,000 bales this fall, if not more. The acreage has been reduced very lit tle, if any, below that of last year and so far it has been a far better cotton season. Last year there were approximately 67,150 acres In cot ton in the county and the produc tion was 45.000 bales. It is believed that between 65.000 and 70.000 acres are in cotton this year and if the favorable season holds up the production should run 50,000 bales or more. ‘•The crop is in the best condition so far than in any of the fdtlr years I have been in the county.” R. W. Shoffner. farm agent said today. Other Oops Suffer While the cotton crop has bene fitted by the hot, dry weather, other crops are suffering from a lack of rain and the continued heat. This is particularly true of corn and gar dens. The com. it is said, is not large enough to become toughened and as a result is wilting fast under the heat. Just two weeks ago gardens In the county appeared to be in better shape than in years, but the weath er of the last week or so has done considerably damage and will do more unless there is quite a bit of rain. The county wheat crop. Agent Shoffner said, is doing unusually well and looks even better than It did last, year. As many acres. If not more, are in wheat in the county than last year when the county in creased wheat acreage considerably over previous years. , Methodist Colleges Best In 4 Years Wheat Good Consolidated W’eaver And Ruther ford Colleges Consider Sever al Sites.

Charlotte, Iftnie 12.—Proposals ot several North Carolina towns for securing the junior college to be es tablished by the Western North Carolina conference of the Metho dist Episcopal church, South, will be submitted to the educational commission of the conference at Durham June 18.

They Keep Trying To Get Hoey To Talk About Governorship In ’36 But Shelby Man Will Not Say Yes Or No To Their Queries. Charlotte. June 24.—Lawyer Clyde K. Hoey of Shelby was in Char lotte Monday on legal business, strictly legal. He was appearing as counsel for A. F. Whitworth and Deputy Sheriff P C. Falls of Gas tonia, charged with the murder of : Whitworth’s wife, who were seek ing their freedom on a habeas cor pus hearing before Judge John M. Oglesby. Mr. Hoey in his usual most ob liging and courteous way had noth ing to say for the papers—or any other way—concerning the govern orship in 1936 4* “That's a long way oil. isn't it? Want Volunteer In An Effort To Save Life Here Who will five a blood trans fusion to save the life of a young mother In the Shelby hospital? I That was the emergehcy question sent out of the Shelby relief head quarters today. In the hospital here is a young woman, the mother of a 'small daughter and one son. who must have an operation. The opera tion to her Is a matter of life and death. Without It she hasn’t what the surgeons call "one chance In a thousand.” But she is unable to un dergo the stress of the necessary operation without a blood trans fusion to strengthen her. The blood of her son and daughter have been tested but it Is not of the right type. The young mother is one of the un fortunates of the depression. She Is without funds and the hospital and relief agency are cooperating in the effort to save her life. Now they must have cooperation from some one else. Who will volunteer for a test to see if their blood will serve the pur pose of saving another’s life? It must be done at once. A life is at stake. Volunteers are asked to re port to Drs. Harbison and Schenck at the hospital, or to the relief agency. Dr. Morgan Will Start Series Of Services Sunday Presbyterians Plan For Evangelistic Program Here For 10-Day Period. Plans are going forward rapidly for the Bible conference and evan gelistic meeting which Is to begin at the Shelby Presbyterian church Sunday, June 18, 11 a. m„ under leadership of the Rev. Prank Cross ley Morgan, D.D., of Augusta, Ga Seats to accommodate twelve hun dred people are being placed on the church lawn where all the evening services will be held, making it possible for the whole community to hear Dr. Morgan. An Invitation is extended to the entire city and surrounding section to hear this Bible teacher and expository preach er of national reputation. Dr. Morgan is on the program of some of the leading church confer ences for this summer. An an nouncement of the Massanetta Springs Bible conference in Vir ginia says of him, "Dr. P. Crossley Morgan, son of Dr. G. Campbell Morgan, has rapidly developed Into one of the greatest Bible teachers in America. His sermons are con sidered masterpieces. He has a very definite evangelistic objective."’ Shelby Is most fortunate to have such an outstanding teacher and preacher in her midst for ten days. Another announcement which will bring joy to all in tAe community who lik6 good music is that Mr. W. C. Reid, a peculiarly gifted singer of wide reputation, will be the musical director for the Bible con ference and evangelistic services. Mr. Retd has already been heard on several occasions in Shelby and is said to possess a voice of unusual quality and volume. Mrs. Reid, who had twelve years musical training abroad and who spent five years in grand opera work, will also assist in the music during the special series of services. These two musi cians rendered a service of sacred music to a full house at the Pres byterian church last Sunday even ing which delighted all who heard them. Their talents will make a distinct contribution in the coming series. | observed the Shelby barrister and ; former congressman “And hasn't it ibeen terribly hot these days? It’s really too hot to work much—folks ought to take it easy,'’ and he beam ed his most beaming an ddisardm ing smile as with an expert flick of his head he tossed his long iron gray mane out of his eyes and smoothed it down with practiced fingers. If anybody can figure by what he said whether he will run for gov , ernor in 1936, he is welcome to all ' the chalk and slates he may need ! The Shelby man can say nothing in .the pleasantest manner. If he were ! a judge he could smile and send you to the chair and you'd be convinc ed he was doing you a favor. RemembersNapoleon Born in 1805, Senora Martina De La Rosa, of Santa Ana, CaL, is still hale, hearty and in possession of all her faculties. The 128-year-old woman can recall the conquests of Napoleon, the secession of Texas and other historical events of hei young days.

Some time ago the Cleveland oounty commissioners announced that they would make a one-fourth 1 reduction In valuation of all coun ty real estate for 1933 taxation. In other words, all real property In tire county will go on the tax books this year at a fourth loss than now val ued. There was some question as to whether the reduction would apply to plant equipment and machinery. Some of the textile plants, it is un derstood, were not entirely satisfied with the tax valuation reduction unless it applied to equipment as well as to real estate as the equip ment Is the portion placed on the tax books at the highest value. As a result it was reported that per haps one or two plants would con test the one-fourth valuation cut and urge a general re-assessment of property valuation. In order to get the matter straight Troy McKinney, county accountant, wrote the attorney general and re venue commissioner about it. This week he received their replies. As they construe the tax law fixed ma chinery and equipment in textile mills and other plants are consid ered as a part of the real estate or real property and will come in for the one-fourth reduction in valua tion as well as land and buildings. This Interpretation of the matter, unless there is a change, will bring a considerable cut, in taxes paid by these plants by the general one fourth cot?
