The Star ir his issue is carrying a two column article about Hatcher Hughes’ sue ■ess as a playwright, bis latest pro duction being “Hell-Bent fer Heaven" the subject for which he got in hit travels i‘n Western Carolina durine he flood of July 1916. Thomas Dix on's hooks end plays have portrayed -econstruction days in the south Hughes’ plays and stories are about ‘he piedmont section of North Caro I'na. He is a masterhand with our mountain and colored dialect. S many writers born in the north arc never able to use negro and southern d'alect, but Hughes being a southern er is able to with perfection, t i> «ard his latest success was partly written at Lawndale. We hope it ws and that Hughes' popularity wil' never cause him to disclaim his na tivity. Cleveland county people an watching his success as a playwright with conskteratla interest. Across the A’lev.

Pendleton’s up-to date music store, just north of the Chero-Cola bottling plant an< “across the alley” from the Paragon ! Furniture company’s warehouse, i Officials of the Paragon say True j love’s restaurant is an unpleasant leighbor where there are often bois terous gatherings and that the town officials should take steps to clear it up. , Good Homo For Some Child. It is a very frequent occurrence for t welfare officer or some biff-hearted individual to reek a home for a bright-eyed boy or girl they have found drifting in the flotsam of life’s sea without the advantages of s heme, but it is a rather unusual ease when the door of a home is opened with the request that some homeless hoy or girl enter and abide. An ad vertisement in this issue of The Star tells of such a case. In between the lines of oho “ad” can be seen thf 'oneliftess of a childless home and the kindness and love that will be giver the Homeless child that answers the appeal. Near the county line in upper Clev eland there resides an industriou farmer and his wife. They have no children, hut they want one. It mat ters not teat the child will be ar adopted on-* and not of their flesh and blood, they offer it the best ad vantages a substantial farm home provides. rIho counl" requests a bright girl three to six years old. but they will take a boy for it’s the patter of a child’s feet and the chater of a child’s voice they want. The request is plac ed through Attorney Chas. A. Bur rns, who will attend to the legal adop lion when tome one brings forward a child that needs a good home with good school and church advantages. Mellon announces paper money de signs will be changed. Let’s.hope the new bills last loger. With a million other things he could worry about one congressman has a bill on canary birds. O. K.
