Ehringhaus Balanced Budget Stressed As He Presents Definite Program To Boost The Revenues Of State RALEIGH, Jan. 15.—A revenue bill carrying in it a pro vision for a 2 per cent general sales tax without basic food exemptions; an appropriations bill providing for a general in crease of 15 per cent in salaries, came to the senate today at noon, one hour after these bills had been introduced in the New Star Route To Kings Mountain Asked By Shelby Would Replace One-Way Route To Gastonia And Give After noon Service. Discontinuance of the temporary, one-way star route between Shel by and Gastonia, by which mails for the North and East are sent by bus from here at 4:30 daily, and substitution of a round-trip service between Shelby and Kings Moun tain, leaving here at 5:30 daily and returning immediately after meet ing the train, is suggested in a res olution to the general superintend ent of railway mai} service. Tills resolution, signed by Ki wanis and Rotary club here, is the suggestion of Talmadge Gardner, post office employee.

With them was Governor Ehring haus’ budget message saying in no I uncertain language, that the state’s chief executive rinds the re-enact ment of a sales tax advisable but if the general assembly desires to cut from the budget revenue act this consumer’s tax which he es timates will raise around eight and three-quarter million dollars dur ing the first year of the next bien nium it should either provide a de pendable tax source to raise that amount or cut appropriations ac cordingly. Governor Ehringhaus’ written message insisted above everything on this: "That for each dollar of appro priations there be levied an equal amount of dependable taxes.” Points Out One Way Nothing was heard today about any lack of definiteness of program. The governor pointed to one way to raise the money and one way that it should be spent. If the general assembly has any better way to get into the pocket books of the peo ple and corporation, his excellency bids it godspeed, but he insists on a balanced budget. The appropriation for schools as carried in the budget revenue bill, $16,500,000, is three and one half million dollars short of the state superintendent’s recommendations i (Continued on page six.) Shoffner Urges CCC Camp Here; Meeting Set For Friday Evening With 10.000 acres of unprofitable land in Cleveland county which could be reclaimed by soil erosion projects, the county should and could obtain a Civilian Conserva tion Corps camp, says County Agent R. W. Shoffner. With this in view, he has ar ranged fqr a county-wide meeting, in the court house on the evening i of January 18, at 7 o’clock. Thomas \ C. Holland, chaplain of the CCC camp in Cleveland, S. C., will be the principal speaker. Everybody is Invited to attend. "These camps have been placed in various pans of the country; and from President Roosevelt’s message, there seems to be a greater expan sion in this work for this incom ing year,” said Mr. Shoffner “I feel that Cleveland county deserves one of these camps and the object would be to have this for the pur pose of soil erosion and re-foresta tion work. To get this camp, it must have the support of the farm ers in the county. The farmers must show an interest to the ex tent that they will try to provide work at various places for the boys. “There are approximately 10,000 acres of unprofitable land in Cleve land county that should be reclaim ed by soil erosion projects such as terracing, re-forestation, and build ing dams where necessary. I be | Sieve that if we petition the right ! authorities in Washington, we will secure one of these camps. I have at this time in my office several petitions drawn up; and the next j time anyone is in my office, please' sign this petition if you are inter ested in securing this camp for Cleveland county.” I Eugene Hoyle, 25, Takes Own Life On Return Home Was Despondent Over Painful Illness Had Just Returned From Seven Day Ride Ac roes Con tine net; Stricken On Bus.

Medical Society Asking Authority On Health Boards Want To Appoint Two Members Of County Board Of Health And I Hospital Trustees. More authority concerning the affairs of health of the county Is asked by the Cleveland County Medical society and to get this authority they are asking Repres entative Gardner and Senator Thompson for legislative enact ments.

Their terms expire at different times. The med icos seek power to name three members but do not ask that these members come from the medical profession. The county board of health is composed of the chairman of the board of commissioners, the mayor of the city, the superintendent of county schools, who In turn elect three others-^at present a dentist, Dr. A. P. Beam, and two physicians, Dr. Lackey of Fallston and Dr. Kendall of Shelby. It Is understood that county boards of health In every county In North Carolina are selected In this manner, or at least three members in every county are the mayor of the county seat, the superintendent of education and the chairman of the board of commissioners, the latter of whom by virtue of his of fice Is chairman of the board of health. County representatives in the general assembly give no hint as to how they will stand on the resolu tion by the medical society.

Shelby School Mmllarlty 1» Method* Hern By Police; Ui|f Radio Taken; Loaea Fine Par Coat. Burglars apparently working in the same gang struck thrice In Shelby last night, victimizing two homes and the South Shelby school house. On Monday night, a thief stole an expensive fur ooat from Mrs. Miles Beam which she had left In a room while attending the cham ber of commerce banquet and dance. Suspect Gang Work Chief of Police Wilkins said this morning that the burglaries, which were at the homes of R. H. Peak. Eton Mill village, and Clyde Brown, on highway 18, near Vergil Ded mon’s home, indicated that the same operators had committed both. In each Instance, a wire screen was cut and a window forc ed open. Apparently the same kind of tool was used in both instances, and at both homes a pillow-slip was stolen as a receptacle for the loot. At the Peak home, the robbery was committed between dark and 10 p m. A blue, basket-weave suit and a quantity of food was stolen. Jewelry Stolen At the Brown home a lady's white gold watch, made under the “Chum" trademark, a diamond ring, a brown suit with the initials “C. O. B .” a cream colored cap with the name “T. D.

The cigarette robbery at the Baa board depot la also unsolved, al though It Is believed that railroad detectives. here now, have un earthed some clues. j Senate Will Act On McNinch Job Within Few Daysi WASHINGTON. Jan. 1«.—It Is expected that the nomination of j Frank R. McNinch as chairman of , the federal power commission will be reported to the senate by the in terstate commerce committee in a day or so with a favorable report. The North Carolina senators are , expected to offer no serious objec- j tion to confirmation, albeit the be- | havior of Messrs. Bailey and Reyn- j olds will probably not follow paral- j lei lines. j, Since there will probably be no j roll call Senator Bailey will make , a brief statement to his colleagues, explaining his disapproval of the appointment. Senator Reynolds may > pursue the matter no further, mere- ] ly voting against the confirmation, i if there is a roll call, by way of keeping the record straight, but his | view is that this is peculiarly a ( presidential appointment, that it is i the patronage of the President, j Senator Reynolds reflects that cer- 1 tain federal patronage was assigned l to him, and that the President did s not interfere. f Neither of the North Carolina . senators will appear before the com J mittee having the McNinch nomina-. t tion in charge. Bill, Caroline and Jimmy Quinn, i children of Mr. and Mrs. DeWitt t Quinn, are all quite ill with flu t this week. Virginia and Henry, who r were ill last week are Just recov- t ering from attacks of the same dis- c ease. <■ -- Cloth Mill To Build Recreational Center, Grandstand for2500 Work On Grandstand Begins Today And Will Be Modern In Plan And Equipment; Lighting And Other Units Later Work was begun today on a huge grandstand and ath letic park for the Cleveland Clqth Mill, which when complet ed, will provide a seating capacity for 2,500 persons and a playing ground for all outdoor sports that may be engaged in by the Cleveland Cloth Mill Athletic Club.

George Wilson was awarded an al most new Colt pistol as reward for an injury he received when he was shot in the jf w some time ago by Harley Wray, 15 year old negro boy.

Another feature of the county court proceedings this morning was the fr ct that there was not a single case in Judge Bynum Weathers' re- j corders court. Former recorder, Joe j Wright raid this happened only a "ew times during his terms. It may be explained partly by the fact that Judge Alley’s sentences and advice is being remembered say 'he barristers.
