FRIDAY, FEB. 22, 1921.
“McAdoo ’ll do” said progressive
Democracy in session Monday i:i Chi
cago.
;4' One of the planks in the Republican
.... platform for the coming election will
likely be slippery—with oil.
Shelby is on a boom. Law-breakers
are to have a nice new home—if they
can’t help it.
Qepby when appointed was said *o
- have once been a common sailor. We
' suppose he is familiar with the term
“walking the plank.”
Perhaps to Denby the sailor chant
goes “Yo! Ho! and a Smudge of Oil”
instead of “Yo! Ho! and a Bottle of
Rum.” 4
Washington streets where senators
* got hit by stray bullets in a bootleg
gers battle may in another generation
» take the place of the bad Western
burgs we now see in the movies.
Jo. Daniels may yet be the '‘dark
home" of Democracy, for even if he
was not selected as Bryan's ideal he
passed unscathed through the Tenpo.
Dome ordeal.

"There is no limit to the possibili
ties of Cleveland Springs as a resort
hotel," observed a prominent visitor
here recently, while taking in the na
tural semi-mountain setting, water
and climate of the popular Piedmont
resort. We agree with the statement..
The possibilities are great. Far east
ern North Carolina has Pinehurst. Far
Western North Carolina has the at
tractions of the “Land of the Sky."
'* StiU there are resort advantages at
. Cleveland that neither can boast. The
climate uniformity here far excels
that of Pinehurst, America's plny
• .rjfsound, or that of the Asheville aee
v■’’tlAn, called,thi'vacationists’paradise.
There is no facility or advantage that
tends to tnake a resort really famous
that is not or can not be developed at
Cleveland. Springs.
I " ■■■
HANK "ABOUT FACES.”
Henry Ford says the automobile is
an agent of place; more automobiles
t —les* war. The auto magnates exact
l statement is:
.««?*When the automobile beebmes as
, common in Europe and Asia as in the
United States, the people will under
stand each other because there is an
easy interchange of ideas and ideals.”
Once was Ford apparently had po
litical ambitions, and wanted every
- -body to journey to peace on his
/Teace Ship". Now after a turn from
the political to the industrial, he
thinks automobiles—no, not his make
—are the best means of transporta
tion to that place where peace pro
' vails. Probably so, but it is hard for
the minds of common people to grasp
readily the sudden revolutions of th%
Ford brain. Who knows, the next sug
■ gestion may be that a Ford ddm at
Muscle Shoals will bank up enough
, . water to preserve peace among the
people that fear another Noah de
luge ?
Hereafter, the motive in Ford's na
‘ tional suggestions will be sought a
little more than in the past.
THE NEW JAIL.
The county in general will endorse
the move of the board of commission
"ers in letting the contract for a new
and modern jail structure. Grand ju
ries have recommended a new jail so
many times that the paragraph has
almost become a standing portion of
their teport. The Kiwanis club, other
organisations and private citizens
have often recommended a new jail.
In fact everyone knew the need of a
new jail and the commissioners,
whether or not it means anything to
them, are already being congratulat
ed on Monday’s work.
Shelby of today is far from the
Shelby of yesterday. So is Cleveland
county. Even “amongst ourselves” we
admit the old jail comes very near
being an eyesore. Strangers that com
pliment the town on its orderly ap
pearance and handsome buildings and
homes, hardly ever fail to ask the
nature of,the dilapidated building we
inform them is our jail.. The building
was all right in its dav, but it is not
all right for the Cleveland county «f
today, considered one of the state's
leading counties on almost every ba
ais. * •
The hesitancy of the commissioners
in accepting a bid and plans for the
building is to be commended. Through
their lovaltv to the county a sum
aro»nd *25.0.00 has been saved, the or
hr-V- nl bid Mntr *101.000. The accent
ed bid of |75,000 is considered the
J ... ■ ' .-!-—
lowest possible if state requirements
are to be met.
DANIELS FOB PRESIDENT.
Josephus Daniels, editor of the Ral
eigh News nnd Observer and former
secretary of the navy under the Wil
son administration is likely to be the
dark horse at the democratic national
convention. In fact he is coming so
much in the limelight right now he
may not be a dark horse, but an out
standing candidate for the democratic
nomination of president. This recent
talk of Mr. Daniels was all brought
about because he has been the only
man whose name has been mentioned
in connection with the Teapot Dome
scandal who has come out with flying
colors. All of the others who did not
have some explaining to do, have fail
ed to clear their record in the mat
ter. The same proposition for the
lease of the Teapot Dome oil reser
vation was presented to Mr. Daniels
when he was secretary of the navy.
Mr Denby, his successor accepted and
the scandal forced his resignation
from the cabinet.
All who know .Josephus Daniels
know that above all things else in
the world he is honest. That’s why so
many of the papers are boosting him
for President. His record as secretary
of the navy provoked partisan at
tacks, but who has become great and
exalted without criticism.
The Teapot Dome scandal has dis
credited the republican administra
tion and many of its leaders. The re
velations of the investigation will
have a dominant influence in the com
ing campaign. The men whose clothe.i
smell of oil will pass in the back
ground forever, while those like Jo
sephus Daniels who were too honest
to be bought, will appeal to the Amer
ican voters. The fact that Mr. Dan
iels is a southerner may work against
him somewhat, but the great major
ity of American voters like an hon
est man, whether he be from north,
oast, south or west.

Railroad Man Attributes Good
Health And Strength T o
TANLAC.
Seventy-two years of age, but still
in possession of the priceless boon of
good health and actively on the job
with the Central Vermont Railroad,
where he has worked for 40 year.s, is
the remarkable record of H. H. Moore
24 Messenger St., Albans, Vt., who at
tributes his present health and
strength to the use of TANLAC.
“I have never in my life seen the
equal of TANLAC,” said Mr. Moore
recently. “After spending a lot of
money orr things that proved worth
less for stomach trouble of the most
obstinate kind, TANLAC made me
feel like an entirely different man.
For nearly two years I had been
gradually getting worse, and my
strength and vitality had got so low
it was hard for me to attend to my
duties. Indigestion, constipation,:and
nervousness made life miserable be
fore I found TANLAC, but now my
health is normal and I feel happy as
I worn. I shall always be grateful

ARE YOU 2 3-4 TIMES RICHER
THAN IN 1912?
North Carolina, With 4 lr2.BilUana.af .Wea’th Leads All
States In 10-year Osin.
From $1,647,781,000 in 1012 to $4,543,110,000 in 1922
is a jump in riches proving how rapidly this state is forg
ing ahead. Every class of property showed a gain, ac
cording to the Census Bureau Figures.
In 1922, the per capita wealth of the Old North State
was $1,703.00. Ten years before, it has been only $724.00.
Two hundred million dollars from last summer’s crop—
a total of a billion and a half for all crops and manufacture
ed goods last year! Fifteen times the total of thirty years
ago! Fifteen times as much wealth coming into the S*ate
in a year.
Gaining ,?39,000,000.00 over the total of 1922, the banks
of North Carolina had tot il resources of $474,117,609.00
at the endmf 1923—a record!
Progress even more amazing should m irk the next few
years!
This institution is privheged to serve, many
who are keeping pace with this gain in wealth

Royster's "cured* fertilizer
is certified fertilizer
More profitable crop3 result from the use of
fertilizer that has been thoroughly “aged”
You can’t look at the ordinary
bag of fertilizer and tell how
good it is. You have to risk the
• time and money of a season’s
work before you KNOW. It isn’t
known to be good until you get
* your money!
Certified Fertilizer
But Royster’s “cured” fertilizer is
like a certified check.
It is certified by the forty years
we have spent in learning the needs
It is certified by the experience of
successful farmers all about you,
who say “Royster’s fertilizer in
creased my earnings.”
“Cured” Fertile is
better plant foo^
It is certified by the “cuiing”—
a feature of Royster’s fertilizer
which increases its value because
of a more complete chemical ac
tion, making the plant food readily
available to the plant. (Royster’s
goods age in great bins for four to
six months. They are then re
milled and bagged).
Ask for “Royster’s”
Stop guessing about fertilizer.
Look for the name “Royster” on
your bags of fertilizer and you
have found the assurance that
your crops will have proper feed
ing from seed time to harvest.
