R. oovernmeni will l-encl farmer That Much If Market Is Below. The latest move of President Roosevelt, which assures the farmer who has not sold his cotton at least 10 cents per pound, if not more, is of intense interest to Cleveland county, one of the South’s major cot ton-growing: sections. In typical Roosevelt manner the administration stepped to the res cue of the cotton farmer over the week-end when it began fashioning a powerful program which it is hoped will raise farm prices through a virtual guarantee that cotton still in the hands of the farmer, always the sucker heretofore, will bring IF cents per pound, if not more. Through Reconstruction corpora tion funds, the farmers who still hold their cotton will be lent 10 cents a pound, if necessary, the plan being a companion piece of the 1934-35 cotton control program which was announced Friday by Secretary Wallace. The secretary said he under stood the loans would be limited to those farmers who agreed to join in the campaign to reduce cotton acreage in the south next year to 25,000,000 acres. Wallace, however, said he was unfamiliar with some of the nego (Continued on Page 8) C. R. Hoey Speaks To Star Carrier Boys Mr. Hoey. First Paper Carrier Re calls Early Days Of Printing In Shelby. Clyde R Hoey, Shelby’s first newsboy, was the principal speaker Friday night at a banquet given the 22 boys who compose the house-to house delivery system of The Cleve land Star. The banquet was served at the Hotel Cleveland by Mrs. Ceph Blanton as a climax to a sub scription contest put on by the circulation manager J. C. Jenkins in which about 325 new subscrib ers were added. Mr. Hoey reminded the boys of the value of the training they are receiving in being courteous, prompt and business-like. He told them they should be proud to be connected with a newspaper so universally read and welcomed as The Star. “Some of the nation’s most suc cessful men started their career as newsboys. They learned salesman ship, punctuality and dependabil ity,” said he. One of the most not able successes was that of Edward Bok, a foreigner who came to this country, got his education by read ing newspapers and finally became head of the great Curtis Publishing Co. He urged the newsboys to read the life of Mr. Bok. Mr. Hoey recalled his first news paper experience as a “devil” at the age of 16 when he did cores around the old Aurora office, delivered the paper from house to house through out the town and how he became fascinated with the printing and publishing and founded The Star. Mr. Jenkins, circulation mana ger, awarded prizes to the three leading carrier boys as a result of the contest and staged a sales manship demonstration in which Walter Fanning and O. V. Hamrick played the part of the housewife and the newsboy. Another Fast Auto Pilot Bert Hellmueller (above), the “Fly ing Dutchman” of Louisville, Ky., wired Saturday that he would be in Shelby the coming Saturday to com pete in the AAA auto races at the Cleveland county fair. There is a racing feud between Hellmueller and Blonde Billy Chesterfield, the Canadian speedster, and they will be out 'to beat each other.

In bygone yeaTs Shelby's politi cal powers were referred to as North Carolina's "Big Four," the quartet being made up of Clyde R Hoey, O. Max Gardner and Judges James L. and E. Y. Webb. Since the death of Judge "Jim ’ Webb, veter an superior court jurist, the group has been referred to as the "Shelby dynasty.” It was news, then, when in re cent weeks it was learned that the remaining trio were not in accord on the repeal question. Writers over the state have commented at length upon the difference between brothers-in-law and uncle and nephew. Incidentally, it is not the first time they have differed. They fail ed to get together on A1 Smith back in 1928. In the campaign then Federal Judge E. Y. Webb, just couldn’t see Smith, but Clyde K.

Cleveland county parents and school patrons let out a squawk some months ago about the new school law ruling which says that children living within less than two miles of a school could not ride one of the buses even though It was not loaded when it passed them. But little Was heard about the squawk outside at the county since only one county was objecting. > In the last week or so. however Raleigh has begun to hear quite a bit about the ruling which has been termed as a "foolish, nit-wit ar rangement" by school patrons. The reason Is that other counties, plenty of them are squawking. Cleveland schools opened back In the summer, following an annual custom, so that children might get a recess at this season of the year to help with the cotton-picking, it was then that parents of this coun ty learned about the ruling. But last week and this week schools u'l over the State started opening and a continuous howl Is going up from <>U sections of the State. Several counties are sending del egations to Raleigh to find out "why and how come.” Chances are these delegations will not accomplish very much. Cleveland patrons raised caln First they crltirized local of flclata, then It was learned that local officials had nothing what?a ever to do with It, and the protest was carried to Raleigh.
