Shelby furnished three players on
the famous football team put out
by Wake Forest college In 1892.
They are George Blanton, with the
First National bank, Dr. E. B. Lat
tlmore, well known physician, and
Judge E. Y. Webb, federal court
Jurist.
The team won every game It
played that season, but did not play
either Davidson or State college as
neither of the schools had foot
ball team that year. It did not play
th University of North Carolina
because of "differences” which had
resulted in games played during
other years. Colleges took their
football seriously in those days and
players and spectators as well often
entered into personal combat.
Judge Webb and Dr. Lattimore
were not present when the picture
was made in Knoxville, Tenn., in
1892.

splitting entertainment for the aud

Rembrant Pictures
Displayed Here
(Continued from Page 1)
ly to give a comprehensive, easily
understood sketch of what the best
painters did when they were at
their best.
There are nine Rembrandts, in
cluding the noted self-portrait.
Corot has four beautiful land
scapes, Cezanne has three (prob
ably unintelligible to most every
body), Reubens has three, Renoir
three. Coya three. Velasqueb only
one (it's an exquisite), Watteau
one (very typical) and Van Gogh
seven of those thickly smeared
palette paintings, which you must
view by standing back at least ten
feet and squinting your eyes.
Van Dyke has three, Weigand
five, and so on down the line of
famed painters.
“Simplicity”
Perhaps the painting that has
attracted the most attention, and is
also the most noted, is '‘Simplic
ity,” that charming Reynolds study
of the quaint little girl. The Gilbert
Stuart Washington is also on dis
play.
The exhibition is open daily the
remainder of this week.
Too Bad Now!!
Bound To Mean
One Big Fight
It Is Just too bad for Cyclon”
Cook and his 170 pounds of beefy
brawn and tough Jaw and his wick
ed punch. He has said too much
and now he's got it coming to him.
Fight fans will remember that
Just a few days ago the ol’ Cyclone
himself blew in with a big puff and
allows that even with a draw de
cision for the last fight between
him and Kid Woods, he is willing
to come back in a winner-take-all
decision and prove to all his friends
that he can knock the grin off
Woods’ face—or kill himself try
ing.
Here's a ' Special to The 8tar"
from the Kid himself: In regards
to Cyclone Cook's challenge, I am
very sorry Friend Cook doesn't
feel satisfied over the decision or
the fight. Well now, he has a lot
of weight on me, but we won't fig
ure that. Cook, I'll fight you 10
rounds, in a winner-take-all, cr
I’ll fight you a no-decision and if
you lick me. I will take it like a
man. Signed, Kid Woods.

Cotton Farmers Rush
For 12 Cent Loans
(Continued from Page 1)
came in four bales of cotton 22
years old, from the Humphries es
tate. This cotton has seen the mar
ket rise and fall through a desper
ate zig-zag, and was held for 40
cents at one time. The Humphries
place is in No. 1 township, near
Boiling Springs.
12c Net Guarantee
The farmer who stores his cot
ton and takes the 12 cent loan, pays
15 cents for the operation of
weighing and for signing the pap
ers, and an average of less than 25
cents a month per bale storage on
yearly basis. But his 12 cents guar
antee is a net guarantee. That is,
the government guarantees to pay
the difference on storage if cotton
does not rise to a figure above 12
cents to pay for the storage. ■
The Planters and Merchants
warehouse, the only bonded one in
the county, has a capacity of 14,
000. less than half of the allotment
for Cleveland under the Bankhead
bill. Estimated production in the
county this year is between 38 and
40.000.
Stored For 5 Years
Already in the warehouse—in fact
it's been there five years—is 5,000
bales of cotton purchased by the
government. Storage on that is a
neat item for the warehouse.
This vast storage house, incident
ally, is protected by an elaborate
j interlocking system of automatic fire
! extinguishers, which will sprinkle
the building if the slightest fire
starts.
Most of the cotton coming in now
is excellent, Mr. Propst said, of
good length, and dry. He warns
farmers of this condition: it must
be dry. or it will not be acceptable.
Fortunately, cotton dries rapidly
and does not absorb rain quickly,
so, despite the recent storms, farm
ers have not been severely handi
capped by wet cotton.
To improve the scenery, fluted
factory chimneys are appearing in
.England.
