He is now engaged In teaching singing schools in Cleveland. the county of his bi'th, and in a few days will begin his one thousandth school. He began teaching vocal music at the age of 15 at Mount Olivet church in Rutherford. His second was at New Prospect and his third at Pleasant Grove when he was sixteen. At that place, ten days ago he returned and taught his 396th school. Had No Lmont Prof. Gardner is the son of the late Rufus Gardner, a Confederate veteran of the Beams Mill com munity. He seemed to have been born with a musical talent and when he began teaching he had never taken a lesson. His knowledge of the principal of music enabled him to learn to play the organ and piano without a teacher so he never took a lesson except some finishing lessons on the pipe organ when he was In Cincinnati. As a student at the Conservatory of Music there for four years, he paid his way by working in the Baldwin piano fac '■ t-orv. repairing second hand pianos There he learned to tune and play [pianos and this work he has follow ; ed along with being a music teach er.

Coir»r:ssionerc Heve Authority 1 ssuo Bonds For New Buildings May Do St* Without Vote In Pro vide 'drouafe School, Official Rule-. iS'.a" News Bureau' i Raleigh. Aug 1-1. Boards ol county commissioners still have authority to issue bonds, without s vote of the people, to provide ade quate school buildings and equip ment for the “'induct of the public schools of the State. Assist&nl Attorney General A A. F. Sea well holds in an option, written ai the request of Clyde A. Erwin. Ruth erford superintendent and formei president of the N C. Educatioi Association. The inquiry dealt with the purchase of a building privatelj erected and to be purchased, bui the answer applies also to Trctior of new buildings. Due to the assumption :f cost o: operation of the eight month; school term by the State, the ques tion has arisen several times as tc the authority of the County com missioners with reference to build ings. It is to the Constitution tha Mr. Seawell turns to answer the question, “rather t-han to ’hose numerous related statutes whirl purport to shift the burden o school support and the powers o State agencies in control and main tenance here and yonder.” The Constitution provides that no j loral uni’ mr issue bonds or loan [its credit, nor levy a tax “except [ for necessary expenses” unless by a j vote of the majority of the qualified [voters. The Constitution further [requires that the counties diyided [into convenient districts and a pub | lie rchoo’ maintained in each of [ them for a* least six months, failure [to comph- subjecting officials to the liability for indictment. Pro ]viding school buildings has heep ! held by court opinion to be a nec ! essary expenditure to provide the [six months term. While the School i Machinery acts of 1931 and 1932 [takes away some of the duties of j the county boards with respect to schools, "♦here "ertainly has not been anv direct statutory -hange relieving thp county commissioners from supplying school buildings properly equipped m each district.’ ; Mr. Sea well writes. The program of .lldr.,'on ijp i ing carried out by the State Sehoo' [Commission will rcMtlt in the need [ for erecting numbers >f ”ehool bulid .lings over the State and enlarging ■[others to provide for the increased : i number of pupils in a reduced num i ber of centers, hrouch elimination ’[ of manv one and T‘vn teacher, schools. The opinion, ’bile in a measure repetition, is timely never . theless.

The first venture of Ihe cast of Heaven Bound into distant lands proved a great success. Travelling in their bus with 34 members of the cast, they visited many points and made many friends both 'or themselves and Shelby. Two of the engagements, one at Morristown, Tenn. and one at Louis ville, Ky. were played to negro aud iences and the good old time re vival spirit stirred up at these places gave the cast a new deter mination to succeed as they jour neyed northward. Although another Heaven Bound had preceded this cast in this territory, comments on every side favored the Shelby Hea ven Bound as the one filled with spirit and really Heaven-bound. At Winona Lake, Ind. Heaven Bound scored. Playing In Billy Sun day’s Tabernacle with a seating capacity of 8,000 they sang and played to an audience composed of national and international figures. The play went over big and many highly favorable comment* were made to the directors and other members of the cast. Two ministers who had seen the Passion Play in Germany said they were not, as thrilled as they were In viewing Heaven Bound. Mr. Homer Rhodeheaver. famous evangelist, gave the play his high est endorsement and presented each member of the cast with a book of his songs. He also contributed much to the pleasure of the cast at Wi nona. At Chicago the cast enjoyed ’he World's Fair and was ready to re turn home filled with experiences of joy to relate A minister of New York Is now' corresponding with the directress relative to a series of engagements in his state next June and if sat isfactory terms can be arranged, Heaven Bound may make another j northern tour next summer. Heaven Bound is also dated for every week-end through October to such places as Salisbury, Blowing Rock, Wilkesboro, Greenville, S. C., and other nearby places. Heaven Bound owes its continued success largely to white friends of Shelby, who after witnessing the initial performance said "Keep your togs ready, there’ll be more of this.’’ To these friends and to all w'ho have encouraged the play, the cast wishes to express their sincerest gratitude Around 300 Attend Reunion Program Between 275 and 300 people at tended the first family reunion held Sunday at the old Wilkins-Weath ers cemetery north of Shelby. There was no formal program but des cendants of the two families made short talks and spent several en joyable hours together. In addition I to the big spread dinner there were i numerous musical selections. It was decided to make the gath ering an annual event and Roscoe Lutz, of Shelby, was named chair men to arrange next vears program |on the second Sunday In August Why All City Schools Need More Supplement Than Rural Schools (Another of a series of articles on the proposed twenty cent school tax levy to be voted on tn a special election to he held in Shelby school district Aug ust 20th.) 1. They need more because they want more The oitlzens have set up a nine months term; the rural people have been content or found it necessary to limit their term to eight months. Provision has been made for additional courses that the rural citizens have not needed or have found impractical to maintain upon the lower enrollment. 2, They need more because they have no profitable employment for their children. There are always tasks on the farm that are profit able and educational. The rural child incidentally learns, from his contracts with nature. more of science than city pupils learn even with textbooks. 8. There are etoy expenses tftal rural schools do not. have. The ru ral school's water come* without cost from the well or spring. Theii toilets are outdoor and without ex pense of operation.

A total of 18ft Shelby and Cleve land county mercantile and business establishments, representing prac* tically every type of business in She county, has signed the NRA pledge in the nation-wide recovery pro gram. The list, maintained at the Shel by post office, is growing daily as more firms sign up and pledge their cooperation for short.fr work ing hours, better wages and more I employment in the drive to brtnf jack prosperity. Veteran* KaMv At, a recent meeting of the War ■en Hoyle legion post the organiaa Ion as a unit pledged whole-heart 'd cooperation to the NRA pro ?ram, and since that time veterans lave been signing Individually ir pledging their support.

In addition to that numbci 10 ex-service men not now afflllat, ?d with the legion have also signed Buy In August President Roosevelt’s blanket agreement for raising wages and spreading employment through shorter work ing hours, reinforced by the Government’s vast public works program, already is having its effect in hastening industrial and business recovery. Manufacturers, whole salers and retailers are falling into line and doing their bit to restore prosperity. The manufacturers are producing fresh goods for a depleted country, thereby putting unem ployed to work. Wholesalers are distributing these goods, opening another avenue of employment. Rut the greater part of the burden rests on the retailers—they have to fill their depleted shelves with goods at higher prices, raise wages, shorten hours and engage extra help. Then they have to sell the goods off their shelves at increased prices to make a normal profit, Coincidently, under the present policy of inflation, the dollar will continue to cheapen; that j is, the purchasing power in the term of commodities will be less. This means everything you buy will soon cost I more money. But thus far, prices in Shelby, Cleveland county and vicinity in retail stores have not gone up to any appreci able extent. In most cases, prices this month are at the lowest point. It is not merely patriotic now to back up the President’s recovery drive by buying freely, but it is the sane and sensible and'thrifty thing to do. Buy in August and you will he doing your part to hurn along business recovery and prosperity generally—and ym will save money! ■V.* 1' ” ' "r. 1 ' 1 '' 1 r ' 11 1 Interest Grows In School Vote; 1,000 Registered La.l Week In Which To Register Election On Nine Months School T< Be Held In Shelby In Two Week*.

Mull said today that he had filed an appeal for a hearing before the full N. O. Indus* trial Commission in the compensa tion case centering about the death of Deputy Sheriff E. W. Saundera. Just a short time ago a ruling was handed down by Commissions! J. Dewey Dorset! in which It was held that the county of Cleveland and the sheriff at that time, Irvin M. Allen, could not be held liable for compensation in that Deputy Saunders was not a full-time salar ied employe of the county or sheriff when killed The officer was shot to death by a prisoner, who was In tern killed by the officer, in the local Jail yard on last New Year's eve. The action for compensation was brought by the widow of the offic er, Mrs. Ella Sanders.
