Shelby Girls Win Still Another;!
Kings Mountain Boys Victorious
Glrta* Game Very C1°w, Score Be
tas 21-20. Boy* Game Resemble*
Football Scrimmage.
Coach Casey Morris’ misses from
Shelby high added another star to
their crown last night when they
rlumphed over Kings Mountain
n an extremely close game. The
.ame. played on the Kings Moun
iftin court, saw the two teams stay
ng together throughout the whole
>eriod of play, with the outcome in
>oubt Until the final whistle Pos
an was the individual star for
Shelby, with Williams and Wright
turning In stellar performances.
For Kings Mountain. Ware and
Williams were offensive lights and
Hord led the defense.
The score at the half was tied at
10-10. Shelby lagged about three
points throughout the third quar
ter and first of the fourth, until
Hopper was sent back to re-unlte
the first string offense. Shelby re
covered the three points and forg
ed ahead before the game ended
Poston with 14 points led Shelby’s
scoring, while Williams with 11 and
Ware with 9 rang up their teams
entire score. '
The boys game was a rough free
for-all which resembled a fall foot
ball scrimmage more than it did a
basketball game. Fouls were fre
quent, the referee falling to see the
majority of them. However, he did
call eleven during the night, only
about one-third of the total num
ber.
Kings Mountain took the lead
from the opening play and held It
throughout the first quarter, the
score at the end of that period be
ing 7-6. Each team scored one field
goal during the second quarter,
leaving the count 9-8 with Kings
Mountain on the long end.
In the second half the fireworks
really began. Kings Mountain's
man-to-man defense somewhat baf
! - fled the 8helbv players, and the
impenetrable five-man defense of
the Black and Gold team forced
Kings Mountain to depend upon long
shots from near the center of the
floor, very few of which took ef
fect. The playing became rougher
as the game wore on, and the third
quarter saw the lead changing
hands constantly. With the score
tied at 19-19 with only a few min
utes to play. Kings Mountain drop
oed one of their manv long shots
•hrough and added a "crip" shot to
'urge ahead four points never to be
core don again. The final score
-cd at 23-19.
MeSwnin f<"ir Kings Mountain and
Conopr for Shelby with seven and
x points respectively were high
>rers for the evehlng.

Big Rise Shown
In Business Index
New York. .Jan. 23.—Increases in
production and trade of more than
seasonal proportions were register
ed in December and the first half
of January, according to reports re
ceived by the national industrial
conference board, and announced
today.
Advances were recorded In con
struction, industrial Indices, retail
trade, and employment Increased
slightly after showing a small de
stheeline In November.
Prices of commodities at whole
sale showed a net decline compare i
with the November average. The
weakening of farm products and
foods, combined with losses in me
tals, chemicals, house furnishing
goods and miscellaneous products
more than offset the upturn in hid
es and leather.

The Herald -Tribune story also'
carried In full Gardner’s letter to j
the president In which he said
“I am taking the liberty to en-1
close herewith my letter of reslg- j
nation as Democratic national com
mitteeman for North Carolina. It
speaks my conviction of duty.”
Letter To Wlnbome
The letter of resignation, of course,
was to State Chairman J. Wallace
Wlnbome of the North Carolina
Democratic executive committee and
dated as of October 12, 1933. The
Herald-Tribune also reveals the
fact that Gardner expressed the de
sire and intention to resign as na
tional committeeman when he first,
decided to go to Washington and
open law offices there, before Presi
dent Roosevelt was inaugurated but
that he was persuaded not to re- 1
siyn at that time bv Josephus Dan
iels. of Raleigh, and at present
tJ. 8. Ambassador to Mexico, for
fear it might cost North Carolina
some patronage opportunities. That
la the only reason Gardner delayed
his resignation.
That Gardner Is being held up
by the President as an example of
what all conscientious members of
the national Democratic committee
should do if they want to practice
law in Washington Is clearly indi
cated in this story, which plainly
says, evidently with White House
sanction:
"That the President ‘appreciates’
the attitude of lawyer-members (of
the committee) who resigned on
their own Initiative, he made clear
In a letter complimenting Mr. Gard
ner on his resignation from the na
tional committee.”
White House Initiative.
TTie story also added that It was
“through White House Initiative”
that the exchange of letters between
the President and Gardner became
available, thus Indicating that the
President was willing to have all the
details made public with regard to
Gardner’s resignation, which was
submitted long before there was
any criticism of any committee
members practicing law in Wash
ington.
There is no doubt that this pub
lic commendation of Gardner by
the President has caused the mem
bers of the anti-Gardner faction
here in the state to foam at the
mouth, although they have not dar
ed to say anything because or the
universally strong Roosevelt senti
ment. On the other hand Gardner’s
friends are getting a great deal of
pleasure and satisfaction from the
Incident while even his bitterest
opponents admit that Gardner
seems to have almost uncanny po
litical luck.
The less some people have the
more willing they are to give it to
others. This is especially true of in
formation.
