Recalls Will Rogers’ Unusual Entry At Big N. C. Celebration Rated as not the least impressive entry which the late Will Rogers' ever made into North Carolina is recalled by Rev. J. W. Suttle, Bap tist minister who preached for a number of years in Johnson county. A friend of Mr. Suttle’s was lead er and promoter of big things in that county about six years ago, and In the fall of the year in connec tion with a county fair, or some big celebration decided to invite the well known humorist to make the main address. All arrangements were mad'-. Con-j tact had been made with Mr. Rog-i Cleveland Towns To Share In Sum For Street Work Half Million Dollars Set Up By State Shelby. Kings Mountain, Grover, Waco And Mooresboro In cluded On List. By M. R. DUNNAGAN RALEIGH, Aug, 19—Tenative mileages and expenditures from the half a million dollar set aside by the 1935 general assembly for main taining state-numbered * streets through municipalities have been set up by the state highway division on the basis of engineering needs, rather than population, and sent to &U municipalities for any sugges tions, Capus M. Waynick, chairman, announces. Cleveland county municipalities included in the list are as follows: Towns Miles Cost Pop. Shelby 7.76 *3.308.10 10.789 Kings Mtn. 4.13 3.485.20 5,632 Grover. 0.60 162.00 435 Waco .. 1.00 270.00. 176 Mooresboro . 1.00 270.00 270 Maintain Owns Shelby and Kings Mountain ask permission to maintain their own streets. The order will be held open until September 1. after which date it will be made permanent, unless valid reasons are shown for changes, or any changps made will be made be fore that date, Mr. Waynick said. He does not hope to have the muni cipalities all satisfied-with the set up as arrived at. Suggestion is made that the N. C. League of Municipal ities, which sponsored state main tenance of these portions of state designated highways, designate some body to receive suggestions and thresh them out together. Cost $470,546 The mileage to be maintained is 875.53. to cost an estimated $470, 546.10. and in the municipalities are 1,047.845 people. Twenty-nine of the municipalities, usually the larger ones, request that they be permit ted to carry on the maintenance with funds furnished by the state. These cities and towns have pop ulations of 598,396. the mileage is 213.29 and the estimated cost *217, 094.70. The other municipalities, about 330 of them, have * total of 644.24 miles to be maintained at an estimated cost of *253,451.40, and a population of 449,449.

Kings Mtn. Grade Crossing Dopmed by Highway Plan A plan to eliminate one of the most dangerous grade crossings in Cleveland county has been submit ted by the state highway depart ment to Mayor J. E. Herndon and the town oouneit of Kings Moun tain. , Immediate action and possibly construction is expected some time this week or .next. The council is studying plans submitted by the comnflssion, and will decide on a course of action this week. The crossing to be eliminated is on highway No. 20 at the comer of Railroad avenue and Mountain street, which has been the scene of numerous serious accidents during the past several years. The new road from Gastonia through Kings Mountain to Shelby will be hard surfaced. It will come into Kings Mountain down King street, and cross the railroad by an The Star To Issue De Luxe Historical and Fair Edition In years past, The Star has been uncommonly slow in entering into any form of what is known as “Special Edition” work. At this time, however, it has seemed to us that with the depression rapidly passing behind us, t/e opportun ity is presented to do some real constructive promotion al work for Cleveland county. It is the opinion of many men who have studied the general business situation that within the next five years millions upon millions of dollars will be poured into the South by investors of the great financial centers who are seeking new fields j for safe investments. It is also believed that there will ! be a steady -How of industrial enterprises into the South ern territory. The Star wants to see Cleveland county reap its share of this influx of new capital. To that end we will is«ue on September 27 an His torical and Fair Edition in which we shall review the many advantages possessed by this favored section. We have associated with our staff for this work two men of long experience in this type of high class promotional work—Joe Patton and T. J. Pierson. Both of them have had many years of experience in newspaper work on the Charlotte Observer and other first grade papers. Over 100,000 people will visit the fair. We expect to make this a real home-coming occasion for the great multitude of native-born who have moved to other states to live. The edition will be the most comprehensive ever issued in this section and be vtrell worth preserving by the eight to ten thousand people who will receive it We propose to mail out to prospective investors and home seekers several thousands copies of this special issue aijd are anxious for our friends to do the same. It is my sincere hope that the ‘business men of Shelby and Cleveland count}’ will give all cooperation possible to Mr. Patton and Mr. Pierson and other Star representatives, to the end that this special edition may be of vast and far reaching benefit to the county.

The plan as suggested the state will stand all the coat of building the overhead bride, and the additional road, and the town will stand the of the damage done to the property by the side of the highway. It was thought by those Interest ed in this plan that highway No. 39 from Kings Mountain to Oliver would connect with the new highway on King street Just east of Rail road avenue. Railroad avenue will be kept open [by an underpass, under the fill to the overhead bridge. If the plan as listed above should not go through it was thought by some, the new highway might some time liter go under the railroad south of Kings Mountain about where the Kings Mountain Ice and Coal company is now located.
