Kings Mountain, North Carolina, Thursday, July 18, 1918. 81.50 A Year in Advance GRACE CHURCH GOES OVER THE TOP OVEli THE TOP AT GRACE M. E. CHURCH-SUNDAY JULY 8TH WAS A RED LETTER DAY FOR GRACE CHURCH Two years ago ihe old di lapidated building was tern a way and the new enterprise started which with all of Its im provements has costs $00(X). On June 1st. 1018 ttero r;maind an indebtedness of $14(10. The pah tor called the official board together to lay plans tu pay off all indebtedness.

This has been a fin; achievement for this congre gation as the majority of the McLendon Meeting tarts Sunday S BIG TENT TO GO UP ON SCHOOL GROUNDCHOIR PRACTISE BEGINS FRIDAY NIGHT AT THE METHODIST CHURCH. FULTON OFF BOARD I v ' i J U ' - y Jf X ih L - lMl ttl I REV. B. JL GULP, PASTOR GRACE CHURCH members are cotton mill people and haven't but very little wea lth, bat a more loyal people can not be found to their church anywhere. A number of the con gregation have made the Great est sacrifices along this line the writer has ever known. We have not the time or space to give the names, bu people ot large families, when wages were not so Rood as at present, have de nied themseWe of a great many necessities tbatphey might do their share in tiis most worthy cause. Grace church has only a few slackers and they look real bad, and I am sure feel worse. The total amount spent for im provements including tho Par sonage in the uast six years by this congregation is almost $7000.00. There is very much credit due the faithful labors of those who stood by the work when it was not in such flourishing circum ' stances as at prase nt. The pas tor well remembers the early ; days of his ministry here, when , nothing could possibly keep the We note fro.n the Shelby News that at a special meeting of the county commissioners held Mon day of last week Mr. H. T. Ful ton of Kings Mountain, chair man of tho board, renewed his lender of resignation which was accepted. Mr. Fulton tendered his resignation when ho entered the race for nomination for clerk of court but th j board tabled the mattor and declined to act. dork of court F. L. Hoyle will appoint his successor and it is hoped that be will select a man , from this part of the county as his failure to do so would leave this section without representation. Fulton's place will be hard to fill. He was a straightforward and conscientious public servant and the people from all sections of the county had learned to like his decisive and frank manner of transacting business and look ed upon him as one who could be depended upon to speak his convictions right out in the meet ing. Many will regret his de parture from the board of coun ty commissioners. A DISTRICT NURSE I PHONE IMPROVEMENT As Home D -moustration A- gent I should like to offer my services to tho women and girls of Cleveland county and it will be my pleasure to give demon strations to any croup of inter ested people. Our fruit crop is not heavy this year and I trunk on account of war conditions we should savn all of it. ' We should also save all sur plus vegetables either by can ning or drying; Beans and will holp conserve flour and meat both so badlv needed by our allies. Everyone should be well supplied with these nutrit ions foods. I have some more hel pf ul bul letins which I would be glad to send to anyone on canning and drying, (Miss) Bertha Herman, Shelby, N. C. The mass meeting held at the school building Thursday night was for the purpose of reviving the Associated Charities and to discuss the matter of district nurse for the t jwn to serve dur ing the next two months in the. interest of the health of the peo ple. Dr. Hood was not present, t j speak: Dr. Hord made a very practical talk along the line of tub jrculosis and its prevention It was the seuse of those pres ent that a district nurse might accomplish a great deal in the way of better treatment of tu berculosis putients and the pre vention of its spread to others in the immediate vicinity of the patient besides rendering effect ual service along all Hues of pub tic health. - Mayor Wiley H, McGinnis i by virtue of his office president of the Associated Charities and he presided at the meeting. The organization had been allowed to elapse since iast fall but is now to be re organized. The pastors of each church were asked to servo notice on tho executive committee with two members from each congre gallon to be selected Sunday, Plans were promulgated for malting a canvass of the town for the purpose of raising a fund with which to employ a district nurse for at least two months, IHE PRESS ASSOGIA'N The County Hoard of Educa tion in session Monday fixed the salary of first grade teachers iu Cleveland at $15 per month with the understanding that if funds peas run short st the end of the sch ool term, the school year will be shortened next spring. The board could not make more defi nite appropriations because they did not know what funds are i -vailable because the sheriff and the county c tmmlssioners had not had a final settlement of the 1917 taxes. Tim law only allows $35 per month second gradn teachers and the board ruled that all one teacher schools making an aver age attendance of less than 20' will have only $35 per month. Mr. R. B. Babington, general manager of the Piedmont Tele phone & Telegraph Company of Gastonia, Was here Friday look ing after the interest of the com pany. He told the Heri.ld that his company would in the near future spend about $4380 en the Kings Mountain phone system by way of improvement. He stated that full metallic wires would be installed and that two copper wires would be extended to each individual phone. Mr Babington also indicated that the company anticipated giving free service to Shelby and as a of newspaper making, return for the improved set vice raise the phone rent from $1 a month for residence phones to $1.50 and office phones from $2 a month to Sz.uU. lie says that the improvement in service would eliminate all cross talk and electric noise.

T, Swaringen of Char lotte is here with his brother, Key. It. A. Swaringen, recuper ating from a recent illness. He is a merchant of Charlotte. In these columns two week ago it was noted that the Clover Messenger published at Clover, S. C. and edited by Mr. C. W; Wallace had gone out of business We have now to say that the publication has been restored. Mr. W. A. Westmoreland & Son of Clover have taken over the paper and are continuing its publication. Mr. W. A. West moreland furnished the plant and printed the paper for Mr. Wallace while he was editor and proprietor. So he had nothing to do but just take charge of the lront office as well as the me chanical end of the business in effecting the transfer of the pa per. Clover seems to afford a good field for a newspaper and we see no reason why the Mes senger should not prospir. Mr Westmo.-elind is an old artisun iu the trade and we shall look for him to do well.
