Just where the trouble lies we do not know, but apparently there is something wrong in a mercantile way in this town. We do not believe that in the history of the town there has -been as much trade going out to Rock Hill and Charlotte and the mail * order houses as there is this season.

S erable progress has been made with I ?'r cutting the necessary trenches in the i sidewalks for the cables, and an engineer has been surveying the localities for the standards. L. V. Gaffney superintendent of the water, and light i plants, yesterday said that he is hoping "to receive the posts by the time the workmen are ready to put them up W. F. Brown, of Crawley's Drug Com- | ' pany, probably saved the life of Archie j Littlejohn, a young negro who works j for Goudelock A- Swofford, Wednesday j afternoon when he extinguished a fire I which was burning the clothes the j negro was wearing. Littlejohn aty ' "teitipted to fill the tank of the pressing ^machine in the Ideal Pressing Shop on I East Robinson St. and by mistake he j seared a can of gasoline instead of | wat?y. The gasoline became ignited and in some manner set Littlejohn's i 'cld'thes afire. He started, to run, mak- j iye Jor the watering trough on Fred- ! street, next to The Battery. When in front of Crawley's drug store, _-he_slumbled and fell and .Mr. Brown ran to his assistance. Mr. Brown pat- j ted the fire out with his hands.

H. McConnell's plantation in the Hazelwood neighborhood, was displaying a genuine curiosity Tuesday?a small terrapin with two heads and six legs? that he found in his field last week. Dye tried to sell the freak to the John r. Iiobinson circus; but the circus folks, while admitting that the bi-cephalous terrapin was a curiosity all right expiesscd doubts about the animal's liv ! ing, anil declined to buy Dr. H. j M.

The pipe, one of those long, curved, elaborate affairs that the Germans dote on was the property of a German officer, who had been slain in battle, and wfts presented by his widow" to young Wallace. The pipe is made of elegant material, is elaborate ly fcarved, and must have cost a conI siderable sum ...Mrs. E.

W. M. Robinson, the new Shelby Circuit rider sent here by the Westj ern North Carolina conference to take I the place of Rev. N. C. 'Williams has | arrived to take up his work. He will move his family to Shelby, when a house can be secured. The Methodists are planning to build a parsonage in South Shelby for the circuit pastor. Early Biggers, the negro who I escaped from jail October 25 was j captured Wednesday in King's MounI tain and was brought to Shelby, and placed in jail yesterday. "Jim" J | Camp, the white man who escaped at I the same time has not been appre| hended Asheville, Salisbury and Charlotte are all bidding for oui> i noble townsman, E. Y. Webb to make j his home there when he is confirmed | [ as Federal judge by the senate this j I week. Mr. Webb has not let it be | known where he will live, but we have a notion that Shelby i3 good enough for him. As a matter of convenience for correspondence and court sittings, he may select out of the places where j a Federal court is held in Western North Carolina, but we believe he will not move nis tamiiy. Me may maintain an official home base in another city but he will in all probability live with his family in Shelby, where he was born and reared. At least this is the hope of all Shelby people and while tlfle other cities are bidding, Shelby is holding on and hopes to keep him. In fact we see no reason why Shelby should not be the official heme of Judge E. Y. Webb, as there is no law requiring the holder of this exalted office to live at a Federal court point Our good friend, Mr. Cullen Mull who left Cleveland and purchased a farm in Wake county has s'^nt a specimen of bright tobacco which is very fine. He says this tobacco sold last week for >1 per pound and brought the producer $450 per acre. Land that is too poor to grow cotton makes the finest grade of tobacco and Mr. Mull as well as The Star thinks Cleveland county would grow fine tobacco if the farmers would branch out in this line. ^ Gastonia Gazette, Nov. 7: Last Sunday. November 2nd, was a notable day to the membership of the First Asso viair ncLViuiuu ncowj ici iuii tnuiv.ii ui Gastonia, of which Rev. Dr. J. C. Galloway has been for more than 23 years the pastor. On that Sunday the subscription for the Forward Movement Campaign Fund was taken and this j church lias raised, on a quota of only $6.U0t> a total of about $1-1,000 of which i more than $13,000 was subscribed at the morning service last Sabbath. The | pastor, Rev. Dr. Galloway, made a short' address on the general subject of the I Forward Movement, and then went by automobile to Pisgah to speak at a | similar service there, leaving the meet- j ing in charge of Mr. W. P. Grier, con- j gregational director of the campaign, j Pledge cards were distributed and the ] canvass of the congregation made in a [ systematic way. At the close of the j service it was found that the subscrip- ! tions totalled $13,000 and a continua-j tion of the canvass during the week has | now brought the total up to $14,000. The First Presbytery, lately divided j from the Catawba Presbytery, was as-1 signed a quota of $60,000 and has rais- j ed to date more than $106,000. It is believed that the total fund will reach ! \ hall a million dollars, double the i amount which was originally set as a' goal. This will make the results of the j Associate Reformed Presbyterian cam- ; paign larger per capita than the j amount raised by any other denominu- ! lion in the south The cotton gin ' in Bessemer City owned and operated j by the Bessemer Ginning Company was ; practically destroyed by fire Tuesday j [afternoon. Mr. Lee Tayne was in | . chaige at the time, and Mr. C. B. j I Mauney lost the bale of cotton which i was being ginned for l.irn when the [ blaze started A business deal of j considerable interest was made a day j or two ago when Messrs.. W. T. Ford j : and J. L. Henderson bought out the! wholesale and retail grocery business of XI. T. -Rarham & Company, on East j .Main avenue. Xlessrs. XI. T. Parham land II. E. Johnson, members of the re| tiring firm, have been in business in | Gastonia for a long term of years and Imve built up a large and successful business. The members of the new firm are well known here. XIr. Ford was formerly in business near Lowell, i but has been living in York county,! near Rock Hill, for the past year or' I more. Xlr. Ford has purchased a res- I I idence on West Airline avenue from! j Xlr. John is. Jenkins, and will move; his family to the city within a short I 'time. Xlr. Henderson is from the; L'ntyn section, and has had a grocery store on South Eroad street extension / for some time. Mr. M. T. Tarham will ' retire from active business for the present and it is understood that Mr. Johnson will engage in the brokerage business. JOHN W. KELLETTE. Former Linotype Operator Makes Good in the Movies. John William Kellette, member of New York Typographical Union No. 6 who wrote the sensational song hit, ' "I'm forever Blowing Bubbles," which [ his publishers believe will be the lirst | o,000,000-copy hit, has been a member of the International Typographical Union since 1904, when he joined Rutland (Vt.) Union No. 326. He had charge of the Herald linotype machine [in that city for five years, until he re[signed and went to Annapolis, where he worked at the Advertiser-Republi- j can. He went to New Haven in 1910 I and remained there until the Pallad- ! ium "died" the following year. He t went into Madison, an unorganized 'town in New Jersey, after that, and ! |made the town union and caused its! I affiliation with Newark. Then he left j land in 1912 went to New Rochelleund ! was a member of No. 527 until 1914, | when he began to write photo plays, ! and js now directing the Briggs comedies for the Famous Players-Lasky Corporation, but still he holds his card in No. 6. In the five years since he | locked the pawls of his "Merg" he has risen from a $25-a-wcek job to $25,000 a year directing, and his hobby? song-writing?promises to net him a fortune through the "Bubble" song alone. Joseph \V. Stern has just taken | what Kcllette says is lyrically and milsically superior to his ."Blowing Bubbles" song. It is on the presses now. I entitled "Bubbling Over," and the first j edition is 100,000 copies. The music of the old "Merg" inspired a lot of Kellette's melodies, and he'd write out j his dreams and place them away in his | "morgue" until they mellowed. Here's | the philosophy of the "Bubbling Over" ; chorus: Bubbling over, bubbling over; Hope with me i? bubbling over all ... the time; Just as a rosebud blooms, its petals ~ fall: Like all my dreams, they live and die, then all goes a Crumbling over, tumbling over. Like my castle high in the air; ... I search for sunshine and the raindrops fall, Then as I hunt for fortune it just hides, that's all: Dreams are over; hopes are over: Life is bubbling over all the time.? Typographical Union, Indianapolis, Indiana. . t The subject of the foregoing, John | William Kellette, "Jack," we all call him, belongs to The Yorkville Enquirer in part, for it was here that he got his first lesson on the Linotype and also he is a/ very close personal friend of both the proprietors of the paper. Mr. A. M. Grist became acquainted with Mr- Kellette in Charleston while he, Mr. Kellette, then a much younger man than he now is, was waiting over j with the Massachusetts volunteers to ' - " | sail for Rorto itico, wnere j\?uvue saw* service. The Charleston acquaintance ripened Into close friendship that was renewed | after the war, and on invitation of Mr. | A. M. Grist, Mr. Kellette came to York- j ville in 1904, and spent live weeks learning to operate the Linotype. From Yorkville he went to RutlUnd, l Vermont, installed machines in the of- f lice of the Rutland Herald, and within less than six months established a re- ' cord as the fastest Linotype operator , in the United States. The editor of The Enquirer has seen him in his different hrffnes several j times since then, once in Rutland, once .. in New Haven and once in New ' Rochelle, and also a day with him in New York city. In addition to his other accomplish- ~ ments Mr. Kellette is an allround athlete, a master of jiu jitsu amj the noble art of self-defense, and with it all,-is one of the cleanest and whitest men we have ever known. On one occasion, in Boston, he took >a j the part of a woman street car pusscn- j^| gcr from whom the conductor was try- aj, ing to collect a second fare after Kel- co lettc had seen her pay the first. He ev knocked the conductor down with his list and more than held his own with L'e a half a dozen policemen who were jj, trying to drag him to the police station fa bv force, refusing to move a step with I pr the/ officers ontil they agreed to allow j jia him to go along like a gentleman. Af- |"\, ter he had told his tory in the police j ja co\irt. he was discharged with con-I no gratulatory commendation. Juj But this is only one out of hundreds jm( of similar incidents fhat occurred in |ag the life of what consider a truly re- |ev, markable man. and whose career if he wc AAliM Iia inHllAAfl civo nil thf* I facts would make a most wonderful I-,.' book with a noble thriller on every L^, page.
