Cleveland Star, (SheIby), Nov. 7;
Rev. w. NJ. Robinson, the new Shelby
Circuit rider sent here by the West
ern North Carolina conference to take
the place of Rev. n. c. Williams has
arrived to take up his work. Ele vii
move his family to Shelby, when q
house can be secured. The Methodists
are planning to build a parsonage in
South Shelby for the circuit pastor
Early Biggers, the negro who
escaped from Jail October 25 was
captured Wednesday in Kings Noun
tain and was brought to Shelby, and
placed in iail yesterday. Jim
Camp, the white man who escaped al
the same time has not been appre-
hended. Salisbury and
Charlotte are all bidding for ouI
noble townsman, E. Y. Webb to make
his home there when he is confirmed
as Federal judge by the senate this
week. Mr.. Webb has not let it be
known where he will live, but we have
notion that Shelby is good enough
for him. AS q matter of convenience
for correspondence and court sittings,
he may select one Of the places where
q Federal court is held in Western
North Carolina, but we believe he will
not move his family. He may main
tain 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 the other cities are bidding,
Shelby is holding or and hopes to
keep him. In fact we see no reason
why Shelby should not be the official
home 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 Null who left Cleveland and
purchased a farm in Wake county has
sent a specimen Of bright tobacco
which is very fine. He says this to-
bacco sold last week for 81 per pound
and brought the producer $3.50 per
acre. Land that is too poor to grow
cotton makes the finest grade OF to-
bacco and Mr.. Null as we'll as The
Star thinks Cleveland county would
grow fine tobacco il the farmers
would branch out in this line.
Gastonia Gazette, Nov. 7: Last Sun
day, November 2nd, was a notable day
to the membership of the First Asso-
ciate Reformed Presbyterian church of
Gastonia, of which Rev. DR.. J. c. Gal
loway has been for more than % years
the pastor. On that sunday the sub
Scription for the Forward Movement
Campaign Fund was taken and this
church has raised, on a quota of only
$4,000 total of about $4,000 of which
more than $4,000 was subscribed at
the morning service last Sabbath. The
pastor, Rev. DR.. Galloway, made short
address on the general subject of the
Forward Movement, and then went by
automobile to PiSgah to speak at a
similar service there, leaving the meet
ing in charge of Mr. w. p. Grier, con-
gregational director of the campaign.
Pledge cards were distributed and the
canvass of the congregation made in a
systematic way. At the close of the
service it was found that the subscrip-
tions totalled $4,000 and q continua-
ton of the canvass during the week has
now brought the total up to $4,000.
The First Presbytery, lately divided
from the Catawba Presbytery, was as
sigLed a quota of 100000 and has rails
ed to date more than $1O6,OOO. 1t is
believed that the total fund will reach
half million dollars, double the
amount which was originally set as a
goal. This will make the results of the
Associate Reformed Presbyterian cam
paign larger per capita than the
amount raised by any other denomina-
tioE in the South.........The cotton gin
in Bessemer City owned and operated
by the Bessemer Ginning Company was
practically destroyed by fire Tuesday
afternoon. Mr.. Lee Payne was in

was being ginned for Linn when the
blaze Started.-.-.-..A business deal OF
considerable interest was made day
