For Any Reason
A brighter day looms for honest farmers in Cleveland
countv and the state and nation as a whole who are hounded
by debt on their farms and homes and who have hardly
enough money either to pay the debts or pay for bankruptcy
proceedings, but instead want to keep the lands that have
gUStainf’Cl Ulcin 1UI
Evidence of this was seen yester
day afternoon in the first meeting
of the Cleveland County Farm
Debt Adjustment committee, in
conference with T. L. Guynn, sup
ervisor of debt adjustment for
forth Carolina.

sell for any reason.

called to terms. If no decision Is
reached, the matter will be referred
to John P. Mull, conciliator of this
county under the Frazier-Lemke
Bankruptcy act. signed by President
Roosevelt last June.
Supervisor Guynn said yesterday
that since the new farm bankruptcy
law went, into effect last June more
than t3.000.000 worth of debts in
the state had been settled. These
debts, he said, had been scaled
down 22 and a-half percent.
Regular Meetings

The provisions of this new bank
ruptcy act include the granting of
extra amounts of time to distressed
farmers for payments of their debts

time permitting them to remain In
possession of their property dur
ing the period of the extension.
The extension may be as much as
five years and the farmer pays a
rising scale of interest of from one
fivp percent on a newly apprais
ed value of the land.
Or. on the other hand, the farm
er may let the creditor take over

Appears Certain
For Kings Mtn.
Inspector In Visit To Town And
Looks At Sites For
Building.
KINGS, MOUNTAIN, April 5 —
Movement has been started to se
cure a government building for
Kings Mountain. Attorney J. R. Dav
is has been very active in this con
nection for the past several days.
Mr. Davis has received a letter from
the fourth assistant Postmaster
stating that a post office inspector
was being sent to Kings Mountain
to make a personal examination of
conditions and submit complete in-!
formation and data to the Postof
fice and Treasury Department of
the United States Government.
A bill has already been Introduced
in the state legislature to give the
mayor and town commissioners the
authority to sell the city hall prop
erty, subject to the approval of the
clerk of the superior court.
It has been rumored that the
Presbyterian church is considering
erecting a new building. The post
office department always desires a
corner lot for a local postoffice. It
was thought by some of those in
terested that the cj|ty hall and the
Presbyterian property could be sold
to the government for the new post
office building here.
The post office inspector arrived
yesterday in Kings Mountain made
his survey and departed. He made
a thorough investigation and ac
cording to what he told local men
interested, he is completely sold on
a post office building for Kings
Mountain. He inspected several
proposed sites, and conferred with
the following men of Kings Moun
tain: J. R. Davis, Tom Fulton, Joe
Neisler. J. E. Herndon and J. S.
Ware. The inspector assured those
Interested that he was going to
recommend to his departments this
week that a government postoffice
building be erected here

State Chief Inspects
Proposed Land
Delighted With Situation Here. He
Says; Plan To Lease With
Option To Buy.
Several thousand acres of land in
Cleveland county were looked at
this week and are being considered
uy George M. Ross, state director
of rural rehabilitation under the
GRA, towards meeting possible needs
in making this county an even bet
ter model in the relief program.
This investigation was completed
Wednesday when Mr. Ross, J. P.
Shaw, agriculture expert, R. E. j
Nance, and Edgar B, Ward, of the
district No. 5 rural rehabilitation
forces, took a survey of work al- |
ready being done here and in the
other two counties Rutherford and
McDowell which complete the dis- j
trict.
The state director was delighted J
with the situation here, according
to Mr. Ward. He will see that
enough land is furnished to meet
all the needs.If necessary, another
farm supervisor will be added.
Option To Buy
Land used In the federal rural
rehabilitation program would be
leased with a noption to buy later
should such action be justified.
In regard to the present prog
ress and outlook of ERA and the re
establishing of families on farm
land Mr. Ward is very optimistic.
272 Families
The social service division, head
ed by Miss Helen Reinhardt, has
recommended 272 families, 100 of
which are in Cleveland, and 194 of
these are actually on the farm now.
There they are making prepara
tions daily to plant a fair crop and
sufficient garden for 1935 needs.
They have been furnished seed, fer
tilizer, livestock and tools for cul
tivation.
Pay for these materials will be
taken from, the first . returns of
the crop.
75 Mules Arrive
Mr. Ward said today that 75 head
of mules arrived in Rutherford
county this week and that part of
this consignment would be sent to
Cleveland and part to McDowell.
Being the biggest farming county,
Cleveland has already had quite a
share of livestock. George Dedmon
is farm supervisor in this county.
To better carry out the work of
the ERA in the district a county
advisory committee has been nam
ed. This committee meets to con
sider rehabilitation problems each
third Thursday of the month. It is
composed of Mrs. Ben Goforth,
Mrs. L. H. Ledford, S. A. McMurry,

District No. 5 is expecting a visit
soon from R. B. Watson, field ex
aminer of the ERA and R. C. Car
ter, chief auditor of emergency re
lief.
A recent switch in the district
set-up placed E. W. Cole as divi
sion engineer who took the position
held by John P. Brady, who has
been transferred to another dis
trict.

GardnerBlamesCottonLoanDelay
For “Paralysis” In The Industry
WASHINGTON, April 5.—O. Max
Gardner, former governor of North
Carolina, yesterday blamed the
government’s delay in announcing
the 1935 loan value of cotton for
what he described as the “state of
complete paralysis” in the cotton
industry.
He said buyers were not going
into the market for fear present
prices, based upon the 1934 loan
value of 12 cents a pound on cotton,
may be lower later in the season.
“The trade does not want to buy
cotton goods based on a 12 cent
value, it would have the effect of
this value may not be continued,"
Gardner declared. "If the govern
ment would make a definite an
nouncement regarding the 1935 loan
value, it woul dhave the effect of
stabilizing the confidence of the
public and the trade that cotton
will not sell for less in the fall than
it is now.”
"At present the trade is in a
state of complete paralysis.”
Gardner, who is a textile manu
facturer himself and who has been
mentioned as possible head of the
cotton textile institute, also said the
George amendment for elimination
; of the cotton proc- i;i« tax would
ibe “'cry agreeable' to the industry

[looked like a record to Mrs. Lillian

As a matter of fact, tax collec
tions, always good in Cleveland, are
ja little more on the upswing than
usual, records showed. At this time
I last year the balance of uncollected
I taxes stood at $42,706.64, out of a
total levy of $179,415.56.
This year the uncollected bal
ance is $42,102.87—but the levy is
much larger, $189,825.44.
With school bonds bringing a
premium and paying the lowest
yield in state history, Cleveland’s
financial situation seems to be
happy. Oh. yes, there’s $127,799 in

Spurljng Praises
Sheriff For Valor
In Burning Cases
Noiiciter Lauds Cline, Who Single
Handed Broke Up Gangsterism
And Fire Terror Ring.
Highest praise for Sheriff Ray
mond Cline, who virtually single
handed brought to justice seven
culprits In the sensational bam
burning cases tried here this weak
and last, was expressed this morn
ing by Solicitor L. 8. Spurting.
| “These cases were exceptionally
| difficult, and their solution re
quired not only a high order of
analytical detective ability, but
endless patience, endurance and
courage.
“I can hardly recall,an instance
in which an officer of the law has
performed more zealously or effi
ciently than Sheriff Cline. In the
Swlnk. Canlffp and York cases he
was thorough, efficient and fast. In
the Vic Lee case, which Involved
the county’s most notorious whole
sale bootlegger and his negro
henchmen, the sheriff labored late
I at night and was able by his pre
serverence to present a clear-cut
case against the mauraders.
“Like Chicago Gangs”
"I believe that his steady hand
and good brain have broken up the
two biggest crime rings in the coun
ty-crime rings comparable in their
vlclousness to those of Chicago
gangsters. A county that has seen
the horror of burning bams In the
night will appreciate the work he
has done.”
While the solicitor was making
this statement, members of the bar
congratulated him on his vigorous
prosecution. Working against a mass
of contradictory testimony. Spurt
ing slashed through witness after
witness to pierce nearer and nearer
to the heart of the truth In two
complicated bam burning oases.

Vic Lee, notorious Cleveland county bootlegger, was sen

to turn them out, but was refused.
After the firs was discovered,
Lee carried the negro back to the
scene of the crime, when both

Lee's reason for going back, he said,
was that “if they trace us with

Mints also said he was guilty of
