up in the Twin-State loop. The
cloth mill team will be the only one

tional games, and the announce
ment that the formation has been
completed is being greeted with in
tense aproval.
High EntauMim
The enthusiasm at the mill is af
fecting not only the players but mill
officials as well. One of them stated

the enthusiasm is spreading all
over Shelby. Prospects for a suc
cessful season are the brightest in
many years.
Game Today
The game at the city park today
should furnish some indication of
the strength of the team, although
the line-up will on be tentative. Of

to make places to others who can
produce a winning tea—.
A. C. Dellinger is acting as book

the Cleveland Cloth mills, Shelby.
He says however that “we want
games with the best teams of the
two Carolinas. We are going to put
out one of the fastest outfits in our
history, and we want engagements
with teams of the same calibre.’’

Game Friday Is Expected
To Be One Of Year’s Best
VBF
To Play Off Dispute
At Kings Mtn.
Kings Mountain bsscball fans are
all up in the air over the prospect
of the play-off game between the
Kings Mountain Athletic club and
the Goodfellows set for the new
park there Friday afternoon.
The game will be played to settle
the dispute that arose over a freak
play In the game between the two
teams Saturday, June 1. It will be
remembered that the close game
had reached the 11th inning with
the two outfits tied at one-all.
Flay Disputed.
The Goodfellows' short stop hit
a single to. the first baseman, who
booted the ball under the end of a
pile of lumber, from which* he was
unable to extricate it. The runner
stretched the hit into a two bagger,
then went on to third, and finally
pulled up in home before the ball
was recovered. The run was counted
giving the Goodfellows a 2-1 vic
tory.
The play was protested by the
Athletic officials, who turned the
decision over to league officials. At
a special meeting Monday nigh*
the play was ruled only a two bag
ger, and It was decided to play the
game over.
Game Stirs Interest.
The approaching conflict has
stirred more excitement In Kings
Mountain baseball circles than any
similar occurrence In months. Sup
porters of both outfits are loud in
their predictions as to how the
play-off will result, and supporters
of other nines in the league ate
watching for the result with pecul
iar interest
Should the Goodf°l!ows take the
victory, it will leave them with two
wins against two losses, the same
percentage as the Athletics. How
ever, should K. M. A. C pull
through with a win this time, it
will push them into a four-way tie
with other league outfits with a
record of three win'- against ere
loss, while lowering the Goodfel
lows to one win and three losses.
Both teams are evenly matched
as was shown by Uv result of the
protested game which went 11 in
nings before the freak play result -
ed. and indications point to the
biggest crowd ever to turn out for
a game at Kings Mountain.

Hard Luck Guy In!
Political Jobs Is
Stanley Winbome
, .' _
Appointed To Office Twice But
Had To Enter Campaign Six
Times To Hold On.
(By M. E. DUNNAGAN1
RALEIGH. June 12.—Stanley
Winbome, Public Utilities Commis
sioner. can well qualify as the orig
inal hard luck guy in the less than
five years of his political career.
Within that period, which will not
end for several months yet, he will
have been appointed to office twice,
but will have had to enter a cam
paign to keep the office six times
after the election this fall. .
Mr. Winborne, of Murfreesboro,
was named as a member of the for
mer State Corporation Commission
by Governor Gardner in February,
1930, to fill the unexpired term of
A. J. Maxwell, named as Commis
sioner of Revenue, after I. M. Bailey
had served several months of the
unexpired term. In the June pri
mary following his appointment,
Mr. Winborne had no opposition as
nominee for the unexpired term.
But it was then that his troubles
began.
In the general election in the fall
of 1930, Mr. Winborne won out over
his republican opponent, J. A.
Campbell, Raleigh, for the unex
plred Maxwell term. Again in the
i June primary of 1932 he was called
upon to enter into a contest tor the (
tegular term with E. C. Macon, |
Asheville, winning by about 87,000 i
|majority and carrying all but four j
counties, Burke. Clay, Hyde and'
!Macon. Again that fali in the gen- |
jerai c u over hU repuohcan op :
Iponetr.
1 lit. .re had not entered upon his •
: duties un.or the new election be-j
• jit the 1 .... • general assembly met;
l and a lew weeks later, after he had 1
ioeen sworn in, the general assent
jbly abolished his job In its act.on
n nbo'v-h ng the former corpora
tors tom hr. a. along with those j
of C’.airman \Y. T. Lee and Com
o G, >,'ge P Pell. However, |
n .March of that yea* Governor!
.uvin-vc,a.-: appointed him as State
Utilities (jitr ‘.one: the new;

old. i
In the recent June primary Mr. j
j Winborne was again opposeo by
Mr. Me con and wen out by an in-1
creasing majority, and has been In
formed by election officials that
he carried every' county in the state
this time, although he lost four to
Macon In 1932. And, still again, he
will come up for election in the
general election this fall, opposed
| by Calvin Zimmerman, Raleigh
! Republican candidate.

calling for aolution he pictured "In
telligent use at land.” "We are go
ing to see hundreds of thousand:
of families earning a substantial
part of their living from small
pieces of land and living In decent
houses,” he said:
"No civilised country in
world has such miserable housing
as we do—the rural slums as well
as the city slums.”
“Homes for the workers will be
built if necessary by government
subsidy.” he said In picturing the
need for better housing.
Advocating unemployment nnd
health insurance, he said "we have
got to give people definite security
against unemployment and sick
ness.” He also advocated old age
pensions and pensions for others
unable to work.
"These security guarantees can
not be given by private industry or
charity.” he said.
He predicted that public works on
a large scale will go on in this coun
try “for years to come.”
County Won’t Borrow
For Shelby Schools
What's to be done about the
three Shelby school projects, for
which Federal grants have been
made, but which contractors' will
not meet, is today undetermined
Several weeks ago, bids were open
ed and all were rejected since they
came above the allotments.
Th schools affected are the High
School, which requests an arcade,
the negro school and the Dover
.school. Capt. B. L. Smith, superin
tendent of city schools, appeared
before the board of county com
missioners Monday requesting that
the county borrow money to make
up the difference between the
grants and the bids, but his re
quest was not granted.

Jobless Relief Will Cost
U. S. 2 Billion By August
WASHINGTON. June 12.—Direct
memployment relief will have cost
he federal government more than
12,000,000,000 by August 1. Relief of
icials predict another billion will
>e added to that amount within
he next year.
The Roosevelt administration will
lave spent $1,600,000,000 by July 1,
n the 13 months since Harry L.
lopkins became federal emergency
elief administrator.
That total does not include many
nillions spent by the agricultural
idjustment administration for food
tuffs turned over to the federal
surplus relief corporation for dis
ribution to needy unemployed.
Direct unemployment relief ap
iropriations in the last 23 months
lave totaled $1,150,000,000. First
iame $300,000,000 during the Hoov
■r administration, alloted to states
ind taken from their federal aid
iighway funds.
Then the Roosevelt administra
ion appropriated $500,000,000 for
iirect relief grants.
The public works administration
nave $400,000,000 to finance the
livil works program. Another $950,
>00,000 was voted by congress last
vinter. A bill for over $1,000,000,
HX) for direct relief and $525,000,
KX) for drought relief is now before
songress.
Relief expenditures now are run
ling about $110,000,000 a month.
Officials estimate 4,000.000 families
—17,000,000 people—were on relief
•oils in May.
A rural rehabilitation program of
lie relief administration is just
starting. Hopkins estimated today
ihat close to $100,000,000 would
have been spent within the next
year. The government expects to
get back at least 75 per cent
through repayment of loans.
The civil works and emergency
works programs which gave em
ployment to more than 4,000,000 at
times, are said by relief officials to
have resulted in hundreds of mil
lions of dollars worth of construc
tion and other work of public bene
fit.
