A notable lull In lawbreaking, ,rt,1Ch had been giving Shelby po licemen a rest since the last term of Superior court posted so many literal warnings, was shattered over the week-end. Hoisting of the jug. housebreak ing and stealing chewing gum were the police blotter features of a humid week-end. Nine Drunks Chief Wilkins reported rune ar rests for d. & d.—drunk and disor derly. whereas for several months the records have been compara tively free of such notations. The offenders will be tried in night lesions of recorder’s court. Two homes were entered. Gor don Dudley’s house in Beaumonde Terraee was robbed of two pistols and a quart of milk, after all the rooms had been ransacked, and Mrs. Thomas B. Morgan’s home at 431 Oakland Drive was searched by thieves. Nothing of value was tak en. Get Store Thieves In the meantime, Officers Stamey and Hardin were solving the rob ber,’ of the Carolina Fruit and Pro duce company, in which 200 car tons of chewing gum and a quan tity of candy, valued all told at $200, were stolen. They arrested Robert Lemmons, gam Fiddler and Ray Green, ana recovered part of the stolen goods in a room occupied by Lemmons and Fiddler.

Corporate Excess Is Discarded, City And County To Lose $3,000 Mayor S A. McMurry and County Auditor McKinney, who keeps wary eyes on Shelby and Cleveland revenue sources, saw *3-000 to nowhere as they poured over a legal document that only two Philadelphia lawyers could translate The document—to put it into more or less understandable terms—is the North Carolina Machinery act, which doesn't have anything at all to do with harvesting aparutus or sewing machines. In this act was a sec tion called 603. which had to j do with corporate excess. And j k that meant the difference be tween what corporations thought they dufht to pay In taxes, afid what the slate board of as sessment said they should pay. The corporation would list Its capital stock and its assets, then the assessment board would, generally, tack on about two thousand more dollars for the county and a thousand for the city. •• • Well, section 603 has been discarded. No report is required. Corporate excess, which would pay a couple of salaries, doesn’t live here any more. .. —— Boiling Springs Chooses Maddry As New President 4 —■—.
