It reflects hard work, and real thought on the part of Editor Lee Weathers, who now has the- satisfaction of knowing that a real job has been well done. We were impressed more with the quality and content than the mam moth size. We know fropi experience the amount of work and co-oper-, ation it takes ta bring to completion an edition like this. We had an opportunity to see Ed (tor Weathers several times while, he was in the midst of publishing thlb historical masterpiece, and we noted the strain he was under, but now that the undertaking has been such a glorious success, we sincerely hope that our neighboring cditoi may take life a little easier, and feel contented that he and his co workers have given something to Cleveland County that Is really ?.V(1A WUI VUW IIIIC, ' The Shelby Star's Cleveland Coun ty Centennial Kditlon is In keeping with the greatness of Cleveland County, and the citizenship she has produced. SHOE ON THE OTHER FOOT Theorists in this country have from time to time taken some pretty vigorous whacks at advertising,, intimating that it places an unfaii burden on the consumer. And various high officials in Washington have declared publicly that they be lieve government should regulate ad vertlsing; that too much money lir spent for advertising by manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers; and that the cost of such advertising raises the price of goods or services. It will be news to many readers, therefore, tp learn that a brand new advertiser has now appeared In tho paper match-cover field. The new advertiser Is a branch of the Federal government Itself! PaDer matches are now beinc dla tributed accompanied by this message: "Know Your Money, Beware of Counterfeiting. Sound Your Coins Examine Your Bitla ? The .U. S. Secret Service, Treaeury Department." And the cost?why., that's passed along to the taxpayer! WAR'S TERRIBLE C08T Human life in terms of war. has grown' steadily dearer. It is estimated that it cost Julius Caesar 75 cents to kill a man. But the price went steadily up until by Napo'lenn's time In whose conquests 21,100,000 men were killed, the cost had risen to $16,250,000. or nearly $3,000 per man. Uncle Sam's internal squabby, 1863-66( which accounted for 953,113 dead at a cost of $3,000,000,000, raised the price per man to ? $5,000. During the wars that have followed, the cost plane has tilted steeply until In the World War,, with a death total of 8.538.315 and a price total of $180 billion the* cost of killing a man rose to $21,000. But the present war. whit Its orgy of mechanism and terrorism. Is estlma ted .to be ratsllg the price'for each dead soldier to $50,000. That is too much for a dead man, espeeiallv since alive he is worth so much more to his country. Armed conflict of nations is getting Into the class of over-blown corporations. It Is suf ferine: from the law of diminishing returns. One of these days. when rations are forced to catch up wi^i their debt, governments will have to realise that they cannot afford war.?Selected. , I as. t r: V '- Vc '* . TO ,i Here and There . .

Union St., Kullerton, Pa., August 18, 1840. Mr. Haywood E. Lynch, Chief Prop. l'Ue Kings Mountain Herald, Kings Mountain, North Carolina, Dear Mr. Lynch:? Prompted by your gentle reminder of several days ago, 1 am enclosing my check for $3.00 to pay up what 1 owe for value already received and to renew my subscription to the ASTONISHER for the coming year. As much as I hate to part - with ilnee bucks, the Herald is ono of my indispensables; so I'll just have to cough up. Am sorry 1 won't have the pleasure of chinning with you this summer over old times at the GIMLET office end other things and of taking your picture again; but the old vaca tion is to be spent this year in other climes. Incidentally, the pictures of you and Charlie Thomasson making speeches in the Something-or-other Colored Church last summer came out fairly well but hardly good enough for reproduction la the paper so I-didn't bother to send you one. I don't believe you intended to pub lish it anyway, as you mentioned in your column, because you carefully refrained from publishing the onp l took of you In the Herald office tbe summer before. And I though it was such a good picture, too. My best regards to you and tbe rest of the force, especially Gene Matthews, who Is, 1 suppose, the on (y other one 1 am at all acquainted with. Sincerely yours, Oliver Ramseur. 1 * . Fort Bending, Go. August 18, 1940. Dear Mr. Lynch: I got a clipping out of the Herald the other day and was surprised and very pleased to know that dear old Kings Mountain missed one of her lost souls. I lived there twelve years out of my twenty, and I have had some swell times. As to my referring to it as: The Best Town In The State, you can change it to the: "Onlv Town any where for me." When I get home I want to tell you what Georgia is like and what we have that Georgia hasn't, , and believe me, that's aplenty. Now, the folks down here might not like this but it's my opinion and I" stick to it Yours very truly, John A. Royster, H. Q. Batry. 14th F. A. Fort Benning, Ga. P. 8.: Here's what I think of K. M.

From every corner In the car, happy facea surrounded them, offering them the rinhly-aplced food out of lunch baskets, and the heady red wine. Freddie was thoroughly embarrassed, and Jane was full of glee. When the conductor came through to collect their tickets, the others repeated the magic phrase. "Viaggio de 'AOtee!" they shouted when he came to Jane and Freddie. And the tickets were half-price. By the time they came to their hotel In Venice, Freddie's con lusion nad increased.
