Belwood Literary
Clubs Replaced
Recently the two literary societies
of Belwood school were abolished.
Club work Is to take their places.
The purpose of this move Is to get
each individual student Into the
work he likes best and to which he
is best suited.
Officers of the clubs were selected
recently. They are as follow: The
Debating club: Corinne Self, presi
dent; Mary Agnes Willis, secretary
and treasurer. The Dramatic club
has Forrest Devinney as president
and Juanita Boyles as secretary and
treasurer. The Olee club, Charles
Dellinger, president, and Wilma
Tillman as secretary.
Good effect of these clubs can al
reSBy be seen in the increased in
terest in school life on the part of
the student. The Dramnttc club
will give several one act plays soon.
The Debating club is planning on
entering the state triangle debate a
little later. The Glee club has al
ready started preparing for the
numerous programs that will come

State Fair Shows
Profit This Year
RALElGH, Dec. 6.—The State
Fair will be operated for the third
year in 1935 by Norman Y. Cham
bliss, Rocky Mount, and George A.
Hamid, New York, the State Board
of agriculture awarding the con
tract for one year, although the
two men sought to lease It for a 10
year period. Meeting of the General
Assembly in January prevented a
longer lease, in view of possible
changes by that body.
The report of the operation in
1934 showed* that the fair made a
profit of $33,170.50, of which the
State board received $0,906, the 10
per cent of the fairs receipts. The
1933 fair shored a slight profit.
Cleveland Schoolmasters
-Lawton Blanton-1
By W. K. GARY
Here Is another of those Sharon
men. I begin to feel that Sharon
has a monopoly on school folks.
Lawton Blanton, son of- Mr. and
Mrs. W. N. Blanton, was bom In the
Sharon community In 1885. That
makes 100 percent democrats out of
my first two victims. Both of them
were born during Grover Cleveland’s
administrations.
Mr. Blanton has been merchant,
farmer, road builder, and teacher.
He did not say whether the road
building was done of his own free
will and accord, but If I may Judge
correctly of the rest of his history,
there should be no doubts about the
road building business.
Fraternal Groups
Our brother says that he belongs
to the Masonic order, the J. O. U. A.
M., W. O. W., Buffaloes, Gobblers,
North Carolina Educational associa
tion, National Education association
(life member), and is circuit layman
for the M. E. church. I’ll bet he Is
behind with some dues.
Mr. Blanton's fight for an educa
tion exhibits pluck. He began his
work as a teacher before he had
completed the seventh grade, and
was principal of a Cleveland coun
ty high school at that state. He has
taught at Flint Hill, Grassy Pond,
8. C., 8haron, Piedmont seven
years, Earl six years. South Shelby
one year, Lattimore eight years, No.
3 township school four years, and
also served as Instructor In two
summer schools.
Mr. Blanton entered the eighth
grade two weeks before his twen
ty-first birthday. He married Miss
Carrie Moore and took her along
with him to the University of North
Carolina. He has attended Asheville
Normal, Lenoir-Rhyne, and Cataw
ba college in addition to his work
at the university.
Sidelight*.
Mr. Blanton’s first salary as a
principal was *29.05 per month. In
his first school, he taught 78 pupils
in seven grades besides teaching
Latin and algebra to the eighth
grade. Total teaching experience—
28 years.
Philosophy of life
Do what you ought to do instead
of doing what you want to do.
Chase frowns with smiles.
This philosophy tallies with what
I have observed since I came to
Cleveland county ten years ago.
Lawton Blanton is an irrepressible
optimist who gets as much out of
life as any man. None othar than
an optimist could have begun his
high school education at the age of
twenty-one, married a wife, reared
a family of six children, and com
—■—■ III
pleted a college education. He has
bought and paid for a farm yphlle
conducting all these other enter
prises.
Our No. 3 principal has corn to
sell. If you don’t believe it, go over
to his farm at Lattimore where the
com, cotton and hay is kept. He
would enjoy showing you those
things, but he would enjoy another
trip to California better. He says
that trip Rcross the continent is
worth more than a year in any
man’s college.
Go down to No. 3 and see our
"Foremost producer of cotton, corn
and children'’ some time.
