Shooting Accident Victim, Age 14, Is Having "Ball” As Convalescent BY DAVID BAITY Steve Putnam, son of Mrs. Pauline Putnam of 183 Union Road, got an extended Christmas vacation due to a shooting acci dent which occurred December 30. Visiting with his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Wright, of Cherryville Road, he and a cousin decided to go hunting. On returning from the hunting expedition, a lark with supposed ly empty guns, ended in the acci dental shooting of Putnam by his cousin. Seeing a black cat in the yard, one with which the cousin had a grievance, the boys playfully feigned shootings to down the monster. Young Putnam, by chance, stepped in front of the cousin’s gun, the cousin fired, the gun went off, and Steve was shot in the right thigh. An eighth-grader at Winecoff High in Concord, Steve said the wound caused considerable pain at first, but since the pain has died down, he’s having a ball at Kings Mountain hospital. The 14-year-old youngster was found Wednesday in a neighbor ing patient's room, helping to ’ brighten her spirits. Putnam asked that the cousin’s name not be revealed and would not mention it. “He’s hurt about the whole thing.” the boy said. “And it was just an accident.” Young Putnam has a healthy liking for the feminine gender and a more than slight crush on a cute blonde nurse at Kings Mountain Hospital where he is a patient. His one gripe about the whole thing is, "There just aren’t any girls my age around this place. Just wait until I get out and then they’ll start floating in!” He appreaciates most heartily visits from friends and football team buddies from Concord. A high spot in his convalescence, it seems was a visit from girl-friend Susan whom he terms a “real doll." Gastonia Man, Booked Here, Bobbery Snspert Lloyd Eugene Turner, 27, spent Tuesday nigh*: in City Jail on an assortment of charges and was being interrogated Wednesday in connection with Tuesday night’s armed robbery of a South Caro lina night spot.

C. road. Barrett , could supply no details on the, robbery. Barrett said, however, that! Turner was booked by Patrol -1 man R. E. Shaney Tuesday night' at 11:30, after his arrest on U. S. j 74-West, on five counts, including driving without an operator’s li cense, driving with improper li cense plates, drunken driving, il legal possession of whiskey, and for carrying a concealed weapon.! Officer Barrett ?aid bond was set at $500 but had not been made, j He had been released to Gaston I county and Cherokee county of ficers for interrogation on the | robbery. Police department records showed ‘hat Turner listed him self as a resident of Washington j street, Gastonia, and as a textile: employee.

ESC Claims Are Heavy Activity at the Kings Moun tain branch of the Employment Security commission has been I quite brisk during early 1958,1 Manager Franklin L. Ware, Jr., reported this week.

Cinderella Industry. Lithium, Has Bloom Plucked By Price Cut The bloom is off Kings Moun tain’s Cinderella industry, but there is to be no surcease of pro duction, the area’s two lithium producers say. The plucked bloom represents a 20-eents per pound price slash in the price of lithium hydroxide monohydrate by the major lith ium producers which was effect ive in December and inspired by American Potash & Chemical Corporation, a Texas producer. Richard Nielson, manager of Lithium Corporation of America’s big Bessemer City plant, acknow ledges, “We don’t like the price trend, of course, but we’ll pro duce on the same basis.’’ Lith ium Corporation last week laid off 18 employees, which Mr. Niel son credited partially to the price cut, but also to the fact of in creasing efficiency at the three year-old chemical works and completion of machinery change overs and construction. Neil O. Johnson, general man ager of Foote Mineral Company’s Kings Mountain operation, said last week the price cuts wouldn’t cause any production cutbacks at his firm. Over-supply of lithium tailings (minus the lithium-6 extracted by the Atomic Energy Commiss ion for hydrogen-type explosives) was credited by Chemical Week in its December 21st issue, chem ical industry trade publication, as the reason for the price slash Noting that the carload lot price of lithium hydroxide monohy drate in December 1954 was 97.5 cents per pound. It was lowered to 75 cents per pound as recent ly as March 1957, and this price prevailed until the December cut. Chemical Week reported: “Led by American Potash & Chemical Corporation, the U. S. Producers dropped their contract price on this item by 20 cents per pound. "The cuts stem from special ized Atomic Energy Commission needs for lithium-6, an isotope occurring in the natural state with much greater quantities of lithium-7. AEC buys the hydro xide, takes out lithium-6, then sells the still-available tailings (Continued on Page Eight) Bridges Says Compromise Appeal Fails | First Baptist Church’s minor ity group — which opposes the building of a new church at the corner of King and Sims street— plan to seek a court order for an "equitable" distribution of the current assets. In fact, Glee A. Bridges, mem ber of the minority group, said, the litigation was being prepar ed in final form on Wednesday by D. Z. Newton and C. C. Horn, Shelby attorneys, and Jack H. White, Kings Mountain attorney and member of the First Baptist i minority group. Mr. Bridges, who previously had sought to get agreement by the majority group for a compro mise of the issue, said he again sought a compromise before the church’s board of deacons on Jan uary 5. Subsequently, he said, he represented the minority group in a request to Yates Harbison, board of deacons chairman for a time delay on the filing of the planned court action. The minor ity group would agree not to file litigation for three weeks, if the board chairman would agree in writing not to seek to dispose of any First Baptist property, per sonal or real, during the three week period. Mr. Bridges said Mr. Harbison told him he would a gree to the proposal but wouldn’t sign such agreement. Mr. Harbi son could not be reached for com ment. At stake is the First Baptist I church real estate, expanded by j about $100,000 in the past eight years, and some $80,000 in cash j in the church building fund. Mr. Bridges declined to say ! on what basis the minority group | would seek a distribution of ! funds. , The question of buirding a new church, a continuing one over a two-year period, was culminated several weeks ago when ‘he con. gregation voted 235 to 163 to ac cept the King-Sims gift site from 54 church members. The gift was made with the s‘ipulation a chur. \ ch be erected on the site within ;five years. The minority group first favor ed rebuilding the church audi torium in its present location. Since the voting, it has indicated it will not join the majority group in moving to a new site and wants to retain a church in the present location. Tax Listing Business Brisk City and county tax listing of ficials expressed elation Wednes day over the initial response to their appeal to “list your proper ties for taxes early”. Both Conrad Hughes, county list ‘yaker, and J- W. Webster, city tax listing official, said their busi ness has been brisk. Both acknowledged it’s hard to estimate progress exactly when some 3,000 accounts and indivi duals are involved. Bu‘ Mr. Hughes noted he didn’t get to lunch until 12:30 Tuesday, found the lobby of the City Hall court room clogged when he returned at 1 o’clock. The ‘ax listing officials are at the courtroom Monday through Friday from 8:30 to noon and from 1 to 5 p. m. They try to close for lunch from noon to 1 p. m. There is no city prperty listing on Sa‘urday, as Mr. Hughes goes to Grover where he accepts coun ty citizens’ tax listings a* Ham bright’s Store. The law requires all citizens to lis* their properties for ad valorem taxes during the month of January and provides penal ties for those who fail to list or who are late in listing. For businessmen, inventory fig ures are required *o be filed with Max Hamrick, county tax super visor. The city officials subse quently transcribe the figures to city books. “Keep 'em coming," both Mr. Hughes and Mr. Webster chorus ed as they moved ‘he heavy books around for a citizen to sign. Charlie Ware, veteran farm census taker, is hospitalized and Mr. Hughes has been taking farm production figures from rural residents.
