Judge ruts Ban On
All Slot Machines
All Must Be Cut
By Wednesday
Rfrorrl'r Says Machine* Still In
County on Wednesday Will
Be Seized.
The slot machine drive, in
augurated in Shelby last week,
has been extended to include
the entire county. Saturday
County Recorder Joe M. Wright
issued an order that all slot
machines in the city and coun
ty or any part thereof be re
moved by Wednesday. Septem
her IS.
In a previous order, issued Friday
he set the deadline for Saturday
but moved the date up until Wed
nesday.
To Confiscate.
"Those that have not been remov
ed by Wednesday will be confiscat
ed by officers upon orders of the
court.,” Judge Wright said.
In issuing the order the record
ed stated that in his opinion slot
machines cannot and will not be
operated legally, therefore he de
cided to abolish all.
The clean-up drive in Shelby
last: week was very successful and
the court met with a commendable
response on the part of operators,
the recorder stated. There are, how
ever. a number of machines still in
operation at Kings Mountain and
other points in the county and the
order stopping all was more parti
cularly directed at these, it was
said.
It is estimated that hundreds of
dollars have found their way in the
several score machines in the city
and county during the period of a
month or more in which they click
ed merrily and steadily.
One Trial.
One operator was hailed in court
Friday for operating a machine il
legally, but the evidence failed to
convict him. In this case. Recorder
Wright explained, that the war
rant charged the violation on a
specific date. Eivdence. he said, did
show that the law had been viol
ated but not upon the ate specified
in the warrant and for that rea
son a technical verdict of not guilty
was entered.
"The outcome of that case," the
recorder stated, "in no manner -n
dicates the court's attitude toward
the machines. The order requiring
that all be stoppped bv Wednesday
should be proof of that fact.”
Rebate Or Not
Court orders removing the slot
machines will likely bring up a point
of law which, according to reports,
may be tested in the courts. The
county of Cleveland and the city of
Shelby issued licenses for all ma
chines operated and this license fee
was paid by operators. Now that
the courts have ordered the machin
es not to be played the question has
arisen as to whether owners of the
machines are entitled to ask *he
city and county for a rebate of *he
license tax paid. „

house at Shelby. The meeting is
scheduled for 8 o'clock and re

Hoey Praised In
Dry Stand Taken
Despite Opinion
Esteemed By Both hides By Tak
ing Stand Which May Not
Be Popular.
Clyde R. Hoey in taking an out
and-out stand for prohibition in the
November repeal fight has won the
respect of both sides by exhibiting
the courage to adhere to his con
victions despite popular opinion, in
the view of R. R. Clark, veteran ed
itorial writer.
Writing in The Statesville Daily
Mr. Clark said:
“That courage of conviction which
does not falter in the face of popu
lar sentiment, which stands out in
the open and does not quibble nor
hedge when adverse tide is running
strong, calls for admiration even
from those who do not agree with
the conviction. A consplcious ex
ample of that courage Is found in
Clyde R. Hoey, of Shelby, who mak
es public declaration against the re
peal of the 18th amendment. In a
recent newspaper Interview Mr. Hoey
said:
"I am opposed to the repeal of
the eighteenth amendment. I am
not concerned over the popularity
of the issue. I am lamillar with all
the arguments against prohibition.
It does not matter that 24 States
have already voted In favor of re
peal. I am strongly in favor of
North Carolina's voicing her own
sentiment uninfluenced by outside
forces and without regard to the
action of other States.’
Mr. Hoey has been a leader in
prohibition ranks since that ques
tion first came to the front in North
Carolina. Because he was known
as a militant advocate of prohibi
tion he was much criticised for his
support of A1 Smith in 1928. As a
Democratic elector-at-large he can
vassed the State for Smith and the
sincerity of his support was unques
tioned. In the statement from
which the foregoing is taken Mr
Hoey touched on this point:
The question of repeal is not
properly a party question. In 1928

Four States Vote

Washington, Sept. 11.—Maine, the
nation's first bone dry state, votes
today on repealing the Eighteenth
Amendment and Tuesday citizens
of Minnesota. Maryland and Color
ado will ballot.
The wets are claiming victory in
all and if their predictions are real
ized, 29 states will have voted to
ratify the repeal amendment, seven
less than the necessary 36, but the
drys are disputing every wet pre
diction of success.
Interest Of Eight
Per Cent After Sale
Property on which the 1932 taxes
has not been paid, will be advertis
ed beginning the first week in Octo
ber by the county and sold the first
week in November, and in order to
redeem property after it Is sold,
the unpaid balance will bear an in
terest rate of eight per cent, it is
learned from Troy McKinney, coun
ty accountant. The interest rate
was reduced by the last Legislature
from ten to eight per cent.
Already there has accumulated a
penalty of four per cent since May
of this year on all unpaid 1932 coun
ty tax.

Drys Here Begin
Fight To Retain
State Prohibition
Plan Big Convention
Here Later
Nominating Committee To Select
Officers. Want Webb A* l>ry
Delegate.
She.lby and Cleveland coun
ty prohibitionists made the first
formal move for the November
repeal fight when a group of
leaders gathered In Shelby Fri
nlght and made basic plans for
the campaign ahead and the
organisation of all local dry
forces.
The meeting was held at Central
Methodist church and was attended
oy a score or more dry leaders who
were enthusiastic tn their hope of
carrying Cleveland county and the
state for the dry cause in Novem
ber. The gathering, In addition to
nearing talks by a member of the
United Dry Force organisation at
Raleigh and county leaders, ap
pointed a nominating committee
which is to act as a general organi
sation committee in uniting the dry
forces of the county.
Group Named
This commltteee is composed
of Mrs John Wacaster. Waco; Ben
G. Logan and W. A. Ware, Kings
Mountain; Odus Mull, Lee B Wea
thers, J. D. Lineberger and George
A, Hoyle, of Shelby. Tt will be the
duty of the committee to name a
chairman, vice-chairman, secretary
and other officials for a big county'
wide dry rally to be held at a date
to be fixed by the committee The
group will also designate a leader
In each voting precinct of the county
to organize the drys in their sec
tions for the November election.
Just when this county-wide rally
will be held will likely be decided
this week or early next and dry lea
ders will concentrate themselves up
on the meeting.
Two Candidates
The gathering Friday night also
recommended that George P. Webb
former Superior court clerk, be no
minated as the dry delagate, or can
didate. in the November voting.
The election law says that the name
of one dry candidate and one re
peal candidate must appear on the
ticket. Previously J. Cullen Mull
had announced that he would be a
candidate for dry delagate and there
looms the possibility of a contest
between him and Mr. tyebb for the
honor of representing the drys on
the ticket to be voted.
Rain Hurts Cotton,
Helps Other Crops
Not As Much Rain Fell A* Many
Thought. Less Than An
Inch.
The rain and cool weather of last
week delayed cotton opening In
Cleveland county and handicapped
the harvesting of the crop, but tbo
same weather which proved dam
aging to cotton aided late corn, soy
beans, hay and peas.
Although it rained for several
days the total rainfall was not as
heavy as many thought. The rain
fall record maintained at the Shel
by po6t offices shows that only .92
of an inch fell during the week
This couplew with .49 of an inch on
Sept. 1 makes a total rainfall for
the month of 1.41 Inches.
Two Mules Killed
In Highway Crash

Can The State Tax
F edera! Securities
Question Is Taken Cp With Th
Postmaster General. Mr. Far
ley. By J. C. Elliott.
Can the state tax federal securi
ties? That is the question whfel
Jas. C. Elliott of the Polkville sec
tion is anxious to know and he ha
made inquiry of the Postmaste
General, Mr. James A Farley.
At tax listing time in Clevelam
county, the list takers in Clevelam
county were instructed to list pos
till savings for taxes. Mr, Elliot
inquired to know by what author
ity such government securities wer
subject to state tax and his ques
Won was answered by County At
torney Peyton McSwain who citci
him to an act of the last genera
assembly of North Carolina Th
law for listing postal savings Is 01
page 241, public laws of 1933.
Mr. Elliott writes that the refer
ence to the law clears the count;
officials and puts the blame on th
legislature, but he Is taking th
matter up with the U. 8. govern
ment to determine whether a stat
can tax federal securities. Federa
bonds are exempt from all ad val
orem tax by states or cities. Pos
tal savings may be ruled as not be

No “Fight To Finish” Between
Ford And NRA Is Thought Likely
Detroit Motor Magnate Returns To
Detroit Today After His
Vacation.
Detroit, Sept. 11,—'There will tie
no “fight to the finish” between the
Ford Motor Co., and the national
recovery administration, it was
learned from an authoritative source
over the week-end, because the Ford
company feels it is complying with
the code and there is nothing to
fight about.
"The code doesn’t have to be sign

terms,” was the statement. "Nobody!
has to sign anything as long as they j

Perhaps Henry Ford will sign tin
code—perhaps he won't. Ford alow
