The farmers night program at the j Kiwanis Hall Monday evening should j make for a friendlier feeling be- j tween those drawn together. Forest City business men are vitally inter ested in the farmers' problems and wish to help them. There is much complaint being heard lately of the jostling and crowding of negroes in certain places on Saturdays. They should be kept moving and not allowed to collect in groups. Another complaint' is made about the bootleggers, the loafers and the punch board gamblers. Some of our civic bodies are going to help the police in their efforts to abate these nuisances. And while other matters are get ting their attention, citizens should help the officers to break up the fast driving through the city. Some day a dreadful accident may happen if the speeders are not curbed. Mr. Busy Merchant, don't forget that Christmas advertising should be given your early attention. The Courier carries more advertising than any other paper in the county. There is a reason. Results cojmt. A SPLENDID SPIRIT Mr. J. C. McNeely, of the J. C. McNeely Co., and Mr. H. A. Mills, of the Kelly Clothing Co., of Shelby, were visitors to The Courier office Tuesday morning, when both left copy for ads in this paper. Mr. Mc- Neely, acting as spokesman, said that their motive for placing this ad vertising in Rutherford County's leading newspaper was not to take trade away from the merchants of this county but he thought that in view of the opening of the paved road to Shelby, they possibly could attract some of the Rutherford county trade that was going to other cities outside the county—some of it passing through Shelby en route. There is always more or less trading away from home, mostly by the ladies—and for purely feminine rea sons—and it is this class of trade they seek according to Mr. McNeely. He also expresssed his pleasure at the growth of Forest City and said that as each city progressed the ■other would benefit. THE CHURCH OF ROME AND THE SOUTH. A Washington correspondent has cut loose with some "inside" stuff as to what the Church of Rome is go ing to do to the South if the South holds out against A 1 Smith the next time the party comes to nominate a man for the Presidency. The Church of Rome, he says in such an eventuality, will organize it self to see to it that the South may as well shut its mouth for the bal ance of all time, or thereabouts, in sofar as ptditics is concerned. Two or three things stand out on the surface of this rather remark able declaration. The first is that it is, doubtless, untrue. Some wild-mouthed leader of the Catholic Church, which develops one of that sort occasionally, about as of ten, in fact, as the Protetsant Church develops the same sort of cattle, may have uttered the edict to tlie South on his own responsibility, but we have more respect for the judgment of the Church of Rome than to put any great amount of credence in such a report. Taking it, however, for whatever it is worth and giving it the highest possible coloring of authenticity, it sticks out conspicuously ae a fact that it does nobody any good to be bantering the South for this sort of a battle. The Democratic party is not going to tolerate A 1 Smith for President or as a candidate for that high office, if the decision rests with that party and influence of the party residing in the South. He is totally unacceptable. Laying his religion on the shelf as an extraneous issue, if such is possible in the premises, A 1 Smith is too everlastingly wet to suit the South and ha is not going to get its votes so long as it stays in its pres ent channel of mind.—The Charlotte News. All of which is very mild, indeed. But it is refreshing to see The News take this stand, while other newspapers of the state are daily filled with Catholic propaganda fos tered by the Associated Press. It is high time the Protestant people of the nation awake to the fact that all the hosts of Rome are concentrating on the one object of political control of the United States. Even Catholic Mexico is taking a stand to separate church and state. FAMILY WELFARE ASSOCIATION NEEDS CLOTHING, ETC. The Family Welfare Association is greatly in need of clothing, shoes and any kind of wearing apparel at this time, as the supply we had on hand has been distributed where most needed, and there are several children of school age who are not prepared to enter school on account of not having clothes enough. Please let every housekeeper look over their clothes and see if there isn't something you can donate at this time. Will also ask that you not send in ragged or soiled clothing as we cannot handle these things. We are having a great many calls now for clothing, food and fuel and sev eral who pledged to help the Wel fare Association have not paid their pledges and we will appreciate it very much if those who pledged will be prepared to pay when asked to do so when cards are presented to them. Please send any clothing, etc., to Mrs. C. E. Alcock, secretary and treasurer. EL EGANT FOUR COURSE DINNER Mrs. S. B. Coleman entertained with an elegant four course dinner party on Tuesday evening at 6 o'clock, honoring Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Coleman, of O'Bannon, Ky., who are the house guests of Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Minish. A most tempting course dinner consisting of turkey and all accessories was served. The table was beautiful with its georgeous cen ter piece of chrysanthemums and place cards suitable to the season— Thanksgiving—were used. The in vited guests were: Mr.- and Mrs. J. C. Coleman, of O'Bannon, Ky.; Dr. Leslie, of New Castle, Ky., Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Minish, Mr. and Mrs. E. O. Thomas and Mrs. J. H Thomas THIEVES ACTIVE LAST WEEK Auto thieves were busy in town Sunday night, and Mr. Cecil Watkins is short a tire, rim and tire cover and a motormeter. He left his car parked in front of the Methodist church, and when he returned these items were missing from his car. No clue as to the ideniity of the guilty party has been found. On Wednesday evening an attempt was made by some unknown parties to steal the car of Mr. Cowan Blan ton. The would-be-thieves succeeded in getting the car into the drive-way, but their progress was stopped by a lattice fence across the yard. The noise awakened Mr. Biggerstaff, who called the police. Before their arrival the thieves departed, leaving the car against the fence, though very little worse for the encounter. Somebody also helped themselves liberally from the coal bins of Messrs. T. R. Padgett and F. I. Bar ber Saturday night. MOVIE PROGRAM THURSDAY, NOV. 18. Corrine Griffith, in "INTO HER KINGDOM" Comedy—"Crowning Count." FRIDAY, NOV. 19 "TWO 'FISTED JONES:" With Jack Hoxie.
