Two vocational courses will be offered in the Shelby high school this fall in spite of the fact that the special school tax was defeated in Tuesday’s election, it was learn ed today from Supt. B. L. Smith. Peeling that vocational training is of more practical value to stud ents than sciences and foreign lan guages, teachers will be shifted from these courses and teachers provided as heretofore for home economics and commercial courses The high school is allotted fourteen teachers and this number will be [ used but the set-up has not been definitely determind. Several Vacancies All of last year's teachers who are available to teach for this year have been elected, but there are a number of vacancies which will be filled shortly by the city board of education. It is hoped to get some financial help from the city toward the schools and an effort is being made to get help from the state school emergency fund, but the same situation as to insufficient funds exists all over North Carolina and the emergency fund is not large enough to go around There will be a meeting of the board of aldermen Tuesday night of next week and it is probable that the city will be asked to lend cer tain aid to the schools allowed by law No Football Team There will be no football this fall, says Supt. Smith. To put out a football team is expensive to equip a team and there are no funds. Casey Morris and Tilden Falls who have had charge of ath letics will continue as teachers at reduced salaries and will receive no pay whatever from the school fund for the time they give to sports. It is hoped, however, that some ar rangements might be made whereby the school may have basketball and baseball teams. Since the special school tax elec tion on Tuesday, one elementary teacher has resigned to go into the mercantile field and one janitor has resigned. While there are sev eral positions to fill in the faculty, scors of applications are on file in the office of Supt. Smith. The sup erintendent and the school board will have a meeting shortly to elect teachers to fill the vacancies and when this is done The Star will publish the complete list.

Solicitor Will Make Drive Upon Illegal Machines Describes U|*l and Wtpl Slot Machine*. To Stop Latter Soon. A round-up of illegally operated slot machines in 8helby and Clev eland county will be started Wed nesday, September 6, It, was an nounced today by C. C. Horn, so licitor of county court. A number of complaints have been made to him. Solicitor Horn said, regarding illegally operated machines, and as a result he ad vises operators of such machines to inform themselves as to lawful and unlawful types of machines. The Superior court, he says, has defined the difference between the two types as follows: That it shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to op erate, keep in his possession or In the possession of any other person, firm or corporation, for the purpose of being operated, any slot ma ■ chine that shall not produce for or give to the person who places coin or monery, or the representatives of either, the same return in market value each and every time such machine Is operated by placing money or coin, or the representa tives of either therein. “Under this section, a slot ma chine so operated that one putting into it a coin receives in any event the value of such coin in chewing gum. and stands to win by chance additional chewing gum or discs of commercial value without further payment, is condemned. But if the slot machine were so operated that one who puts in the coin receives the same return in market value' each and every time such machine is operated, it would not then fall within the condemnation of the statute.” "I am making this announce ment.” the solicitor said, “in orde to give all fair warning before the law stops the unlawful type ma chine next week.

With one candidate definitely an nounced a* desiring to be the dry delegate for Cleveland county in the November 7 repeal eleotion and with others likely to seek the place, local political circles were this week de bating who might be the delegate on the repeal ticket. In the election two county men will be voted upon as delegates to the State convention. If the dry candidate gets the moat votes, he will be elected and will cast the county’* vote as a dry, and if the repeal candidates get the most vote*, he will be elected and will cast the county for repeal. la all probability the dry candi date will be Detected by local dry leaders from the two or three who may desire to run as delegates, but conjecture this week had it that it might be difficult to secure a re peal delegate.
