AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS Renn Drum of the Cleveland Star says: Eugene Ashcraft, of the Monroe Enquirer, continues to manufacture typewritten lines with the best of them. Last Sunday, Ashcraft ,while out motoring noticed a young fellow driving with one hand while the other arm was coupled about a bit of flap per feminity. Returning to his office the next day he tickled out the fol lowing on his typewriter: Young lad Young lass Ford car Much gas High speed Tight squeeze Flip-flop Hades But necking youngsters are not the only ones who die in auto crash es we contend with the following* lines: Sensible man Business mind On auto trip Crossing blind No thoughts slip Brakes shrieking Train.rolls on Widow weeping ELECTION ODDITIES (Spartanburg Herald) As the smoke of battle clears away and various results emerge plainly, numerous surprises confront the country. Queer turns of political fortune, some of them inexplicable as yet, show up all over the country. Why should Senator Royal S. Copeland of New York, run far ahead of his ticket? This is puzzling New York state. Why should James M. Beck be defeated by a Democrat in Philadelphia in the face of a Re publican landslide? Rather ironically it was President Coolidge's own state, Massachusetts, that deserted to the Democratic fold, carried Rhode Island along, while Governor Smith's own state turned him down. The corn Belt after all its fussing stuck to the G. O. P., and the Black Belt, surrounded with de sertion to the Rebublican candidate, stuck loyally to the Democratic can didate. In the House of Represenatives a daughter of William Jennings Bryan will represent a Florida district, while a negro will represent a Chica go district —the first to sit there since reconstruction days. This means embarrassments of various kinds for various people in Washington and in the House hereafter. Hoover gets an electoral college vote far beyond any seen for many years but Smith gets a popular vote greater both absolutely and propor tionately than Davis or Cox got. Hoover's popular majority was less than Harding's or Coolidge. A very considerable portion of Hoover's vote went to him, because Governor Smith is a Catholic. Yet Hoover cannot consistently recognize this vote at all. He must repudiate any obligations to it, for he expressly declared himself against that sort of intolerance. This vote was largely in the South. It was not that Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Oklaho ma, and Texas wanted a Republican president, but that they refused to accept a wet Catholic from New York. This puts a difficult political problem up to Hoover. Time will no doubt bring to light other curious features of the recent extraordinary election. But those noted are sufficient to signalize 1928 as a memorable year in our political history. WHAT SHELBY PAPER SAYS OF FRIDAY'S GAME Commenting on Friday's football game, the Cleveland Star says: The 1928 edition of the Shelby highs makes it last appearance here Friday when Casey Morris' fast moving eleven takes the strong Forest City outfit. It will be the last time local grid fans will get the opportunity to see the fast Shelby backfield in action as it is now formed. In recent games Capt. Gold, Zeno Wall, Bridges, Washburn and Ab Eskridge have es tablished a reputation for running up big scores and since Forest City has had one of its best seasons it may be that Morris' hard-driving backs will have quite a job cut out FROST PROOF Cabbage plants— -100, 25c; 1,000, $1.26.

BIG SUIT FILED IN SHELBY BUILDING CRASH Memories of Shelby's worst dis aster, the building crash of August 28 in which six were killed, came back today when an envelope was fil ed in the office of A. M. Hamrick, superior court clerk here. The envelope contained the com plaint of the Clyde Carpenter estate : in which suit is brought against four .individuals and the town of Shelby j for the death of Carpenter, young 1 farmer of the Casar section. Carpenter had been to the First National bank on business when the building toppled upon him and crush ed him to death on the sidewalk. The Defendants The defendants in the suit brought by Mrs. Carpenter, for her and her three children, are named as follows: /'John S. McKnight, Tom Webb, J Cicero Lutz, E. A. Rudasill and the j town of Shelby." In the complaint McKnight is set j forth as the owner of the building under which excavation work was being carried on. Webb and Lutz are named as the contractors doing the work; E. A. Rudasill as the city building inspector, and the town of Shelby as responsible for the build ing inspection. Throughout the lengthy complaint, which sets forth many angles and sidelights of the disaster, negligence is charged to all those named as de fendants in the complaint with the allegations directed by paragraphs to the various individuals. Hoffman Handles The Carpenter suit, which will attract the interest of this entire section, was filed by former Solici-. tor R. L. Huffman, of Morganton j and Asheville, who is acting as at torney for the Carpenter estate. There is a likihood, it is said, that the big suit may be tried at the spec-, ial term of superior court convening! here on November 19, which is next | Monday.—Shelby Star. VISITS COUNTY HOME The T.
