A waakly newspaper devoted to
taa promotion of the saoaral wal- 1
vara and published for the anllght ant,
entertainment and benefit of
the eltlsena of "Kings Mountain and
Ma vicinity.
ON OU?~WAYIIJ * .
Mhny persons have been led to <
believe that the Federal government
trimmed expenditures during the
last year. Such is decidedly not the 1
case. Expenditures have risen stead- I
lly (exclusive of the Veterans' bonus
In 1936) for the past pine years. Of
late, government revenues leaped to <
record levels, managed to narrow the i
ciancu margin ana tnus create a itnancial
illusion that is dangerously
misleading; for normally, smaller del
lcita would indicate actual economy.
Take for instance the regular operating;
expenditures of the Federal
govern^ nenx, which include legislative,
judicial and civil establishments,
They rose from $637,000,000
- 1933 to $814,000,000 in 1937. Likewise <
consider for a moment Public Works
which includes such Items as public
highways, reclamation, -flood control,
public buildings, etc. This rose
without halt from $458,000,000 In
1933 to over $1,000,000,000 In 1937. ,
And there (a a popular belief that
relief spending was recently rigidly
curtailed. Yet ofllctal financial state- .
meats show that from 1933 to 1937,
expenditures for unemployment relief,
which include direct relief, work '
relief, and the Civilian Conservation
. Coupe, also rose without halt from
$359,000,000 to $2,466,000,000.
If you do not believe these figures
take a look at the total estimated
Federal debt for the end of fiscal ,
1939?$38,528,000,000. Compare this'
to the total debt In 1931?$16,801,000. !
000. It takes no mathematical genius' ^
to aee where the country is headed. ?
And at the rate we are going it j
won't take long to get there!
WHAT A DIFFERENCE
The following is a newspaper dispatch
recently sent out from Charles
ton, 8. C.:
Charles. Jan. 17. ? Followin
a hearing which lcsted for two
hours, Magistrate A. Baron Holmes
dismissed the ease in which
Aloyslus Flynn, president of the ,T
State Federation of Labor, and
Leo Carter, representative of the
American Federation of Labor,
were charged with assaulting and
beating two members of the C. I.
O.
The president of the Stale Feiler- ntkm
of Labor and one of his asso-.T
ciotep twn members o' the C.1
1. O. and the case is dismissed.
'tue re lei.die 11 of Labor lepresert
tatlves beat the I. O. men because',
they were competing with them in
' the dues collect big racket,
j . We have all read of gangsters be-;
ing shot to death in Chicago and oili
er cities by rival gangsters, the on-1 s
Ject of tihe killing being to remove s
i rivals who were horning in on a '
1^1 racket. 1(
? The president of tlie American c
V Federation of Lab,or and his friend
beat two C. 1. O. dues collectors, not j
j In the interest of the working man, g
but because they were collecting t

"We propose that employer and emiloye
alike be held responsible for the

WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE: '
Because of Major George
Davlot'a infatuation for " ? unfa
of his subordinate, Captain Bradford,
his o:rn wife leaves him.
Be joins several friends at a
week-end shoot on the estate of
Sir Bernard Roper. A poker
gams is held and Grant, Roper's
friend, loses heavily, accuses
Daviot of cheating. Friends attempt
to calm the row, and just
as Grant is about to retract the
charge, Bradford seconds the accusation.
Josie Bradford pleads
with Daviot not to bring suit
and he breaks with her. Only at
the urging of several prominent
friends does he drop the action.
But the story has spread. Daviot
takes a leave of absence from
fia regiment, then discovers that
hi* former friend* at Ikt club
ore cutting him. He storm* out,
followed by hi* orderly, Tandy.
lour
In the Bayswatc. section of Bondon,
Davlot took refuge in a shabby
V' ' Only Tandy, who had aeon
him - ght from the cab, knew his
{'' ' '. > ' ' ; V.; -f \
"Don't ever come Ke\e
whereabouts. So when the storm '
broke his friends had to go to i
Tandy to find Davlot. <
It started when the "Society i
Chat", & scurrilous blackmail jour- '
nal, printed the first sly hint of the j
. story. In two days all of London, 1
intrigued by the hint of M. P.'s, i
peers and army Involved in a scan- '
dal, was busily discussing it. Months
had passed slnCe the original in- <
cident. Cinderford, Cowbit and Fon- 1
trefact, suddenly- seised with remorse,
met to discuss the problem, j
They sought out Tandy. And that
worthy, speaking with the passion i
of justice outraged, abused them i
thoroughly before he told them i
Daviot's address. i
They were admitted by the landlady's
daughter, a little girl, pre- 1
maturely wise, of whom Davlot had I
grown fond in his Isolation. And as 1
she led them through the musty <
halls, they sniffed in disdain. She
thrust her head in George's door <
and cried "Three gents," And ?
Daviot, springing to his feet, cried
"I don't want anybody in here... i
anybody!" I
He didn't trouble to curb the piled I
up bitterness of his loneliness. He 1
cut short their efforts at geniality.
"Now listen to me," he spoke. ]
- i.aai nine we met you persuaded
me to He down under a rotten In- <
cult. I haven't teen you since and
X don't want to tee you again."
Clnderford took the Initiative. ;
"That's the reason we've come to ]
aee you, to tell you how terribly 1
we regret ? " *
"Regret?" spoke Oeorge.
"Ana to tell you we'll stand by |
you if you take action against Brad- J
ford and Grant."
| "Thank you!" His voice was harsh |
with scorn. "Tou're willing to stand J
by me because the story's got J
around apd you're afraid of your J
skins. A year ago yeu told see to J
keep quiet for my own sake. Vow
I suppoee you're going to aak me
to sue for say own sake. Ton eant i

"But, Oeorge. yon must listen to I
reason," Pontrefaet pleaded. 1
"1 wont Hsten to menu." he rag- ?

slammed door punctuated the sentence.
Cindcrford caught up with Anne
on the Riviera. Her eyes lit up at
the sight ot a face fic .'i home but
he could sense her misery. "Don't
ask me to go back to George. Don't
waste your breath!" she told htm.
Cindcrford convinced her that
George was through with Josie.
"But he is hapjner without me,"
she countered.
"He is about as unhappy as a
man can be." Cinderford spoke

When he had finished
Anne called her maid. "Pack, Mary,
we're leaving."
"Where to Ma'am?"
"England!" spoke Anne, and
Mary's and Cinderford's apprehensive
expressions were swiftly transformed
into jlowlng^ smiles.
George, in his loneliness, had now
taken to drink. The little girl Pol- I

syed the letter speculatively, then 1
opened It His eyes smoldered with
anger as he read the last sentence:
"We therefore regretfully'urge that
you submit your resignation from
this club." He jumped to his feet
and dressed to go out. A new Idea . ,
was working In Tils head.
At headquarters, the Colonel received
him In an embarrassed
rashlon. "Those disgraceful stories
.. .Bradford.. .You had no business
gambling for such stakes."
"Do you believe them?" George
nsisted. When the Colonel answered
"No", Davlot disclosed the *
reason for his visit. He wanted a
transfer to the Indian service.
' "Sorry. George" the Colonel, replied.
"If you go to India It will be '
ui much as admitting your guilt,
fou've got to bring a case against
them."
"A year later?" George was iniredulous.
"What will the Jury

r'That*s your risk, George. You'ro

jood name of the Regiment. I've

your resignation."
"It's the only way out," he added
lastlly.
George spoke coldly and bitterly.
'Oh no it Isn't."
_ He strode out of the Colonel's of
rice, hurried Dacx to his room. Once
:here, he began to arrange his effects
with the methodical precision
it a man bent on self-destruction.
He sorted his papers, destroyed
