Governor Morrison Terms Shelby Man
as “Finest Sport” to Ever En
ter Political Arena.
State college trustees in session
twice Monday at the college elected in
•he citerron session Max Gardner to
the vacancy on the executi.c commit
tee of the board of trustees and named
Irvin R. Tu'ker, district attorney,
member of the trustees to succeed W.
S. Lee, of Charlotte.
Mr. Led was one of Governor Mor
rison’s appointees, but the vice-presi
dent of the great Southern power
company has been unable to attend
the meeting. Mr. Tucker is a promi
nent alumnus.
Mr. Ross resigned as members of
the executive committee of the hoard
on account of holding the position as
chief of the marketing division, Mr.
Gardner succeeds him.
Speaks for Alumni.
In formally inducting Dr. E. C.
Brooks into the presidency of State
college Monday the Shelby man spoke
for the alumni of the institution and
was introduced by Governor Cameron
Morrison. Says the Raleigh dispatch:
The ceremonial set for 11 began at
1^:511 with Bishop Junius M. Horner,
of Asheville, offering the invocation.
As Governor Morrison rose to intro
duce Max Gardner, who was on the
program as “Oliver Max,” the big au
dience stood. “I desire to present the
finest sport that ever entered the
arena’ of North Carolina politics,”
Governor Morrison said “the most dan
gerous opponent in a fur-swapping
I contest that I had four years ago, but
we are friends now. He is the most
distinguished alumnus of this institu
tion, an eloquent orator, and one of
the most promising young statesmen
of the south; the Honorable O. Max
Gardner.”
The generosity of Governor Morri
son was so pleasing to the crowd that
it must have thought first of his ex
cellency; hut it came up with a pro
longed cheer for Gardner who turn,
ed the trick neatly on Governor Mor
rison by savins: “I thank Governor
Morrison for his generous -introduc
tion, but would have been mighty
happy if he had said that about me
four years ago."
Mr. Gardner as the pace setter
struck upon a thought that was made
the dominant not® of President Few’s
greeting from Trinity. The Shelby
man declared that a college can have
not better material on which to work
than a North Carolina country grown
hoy. If, as Emerson has said, that
every great institution is but the
lengthening shadow of some great
man, the speaker could say that every
cqllpe-o js but, the expression of the
capacities of alumni. In North Car
olina there is no rivalry, no envy, no
covetine of the position held by this
institution; it is unique. The alumni
for whom he was speaking have no
blue print for the future; they look
to the president for that; but they
will love and serve the institution
under him.

Prominent Woman Has
Not Bobbed Her Hair
Dr. Delia Dixon-Carroll Talks to
Nurses About Bob Hair, and
Rouged Lips.
Many Shelby and Cleveland county j
people will be interested in the fol
lowing story from Raleigh of the
graduation exercises at the State hos-:
pital school for nurfccs, for the infor- j
mal address was by Dr. Delia Dixon-j
Carroll, sister of Rev Clarenvc Dixon,
noted divine, and of Tom Dixon, fa
mous playwright. Dr. Carroll, who is!
one of the most prominent women in
the state, was born in Shelby. The
story follows:
“Do nothing that those whom you
respect may think peculiar; the de
tail may involve no ^question of right
or wrong but it may involve the
question of your influence,’’ Dr. Delia
Dixon-Carroll told the graduating
class of the State hospital school for
nurses at the commencement exer
cises held in the assembly room of the
hospital Monday nigjht.
“And when you go into the field
that now lies before you, never think
that the material rewards of the pro
fession are the first or greatest
things that await you. Material xe
wards are necessary, but they ars
necessary, but they are not the pri
mary necessity. Devotion to the ideal
of service is the supreme test of your
success in the profession for which
you have completed your apprentice
ship.”
Dr. Carroll spoke informally to the
young women of the class of nurses.
She told them that every woman in
the world is a working woman, no
matter what her station or whether
she got pay for it. She lingered for
a little in the discussion of the things
that a nurse or any other woman
might do and not impair her useful
ness or influence in the community.
“It may be all right for you to boh
your hair, paint your cheeks and
redden your lips. There is no moral
wrong in it, but don’t do it until the
woman you respect most in the com
munity has done them all. I see no
wrong in them. I may do all of them
when the women whom I respect most
have done them. I may even smoke.
My grandmother smoked a pipe.”
Maybe Eventually.
Dr. Carroll was on the other side
of the world six months ago when she
began receiving letters from home,
some of them from local ministers,
demanding to know if it were true
that she had bobbed her hair. “A
woman may live in a community very
circumspectly for 25 years and then
forty-eight hours after she is gone,
her reputation is gone with her,” she
said. “Eventually I may bob my hair,
but I have not come to it—yet.”
juniors Will Meet
Twice Each Month
At a regular meeting of the Shelby
council of Junior order Tuesday even
ing in the Webb building it was decid
ed that regular meetings would be
held twice each month, on the first
•and fourth Tuesdays. All members of
the order are requested by H. T. Wil
lis, recording secretary, to take note
of the meetings and be present if
possible.
In addition to the regular business
meeting Tuesday evening in which
three transfer applications were re
ceived and passed on, refreshments
were served and several good musi
! cal selections heard. An entertaining
talk was made by Attorney J. P. Mull
! on “The Bible in the Public Schools”
I and also a brief talk by G. O. Haw.

Never try to tell another man how
to run his business or he will sus

your own.
People who show an interest in
the public schools don”t always want
to see how their money is being
spent.

W. A. RIDENHOUR.
Mr McCord’s Roadster Returned
Home Minus Several Gallons of
Gas, Left in Alley.
Sunday night Mr. William McCord
placed his Ford roadster in the gar
age after the car had dutifully car.
ried the family home from church,
and Monday morning the car was j
gone. Tuesday morning, like the pro
verbial house cat, it was hack home,
and although not back in the garage
it was left just ncross the street in
the same alley as is the garage from
which it was taken.
Now, quite a number of cars have
been stolen in Shelby, but this is the
first instance on record in which the
car was brought back home, that is
by the one who took it away—for the
officers bring them back, usually
when they are brought. One supposi
tion is that it was taken by someone
who was in dire need of a car for 24
hours or so and that when the need]
was over it was returned, but if such |
was the case the borrower did not
leave a card of thanks in the car. An
other supposition was that it was
stolen and that the thief lost
his nerve and brought it back through
fear of being captured and being forc
ed to help make good roads for other
cars to hum upon. Anyway it was
brought back and left close enough
that it might be easily located by its
owner. It was first noticed standing
in the alley at Central school early
Tuesday morning by a school boy,
who notified Mr. McCord.
The car was covered with mud and
appeared to have been driven over
quite a stretch of country roads. Some
eight or 10 gallons of gas were in the
tank when the car was taken and only
two when it returned. Evidently the
car must have travelled some 150
miles or so, from the mileage these
Detroit products have a reputation
of making on their fuel.
Says Mr. McCord in closing the in
[cidcnt: “She’s locked now.”
Rote’s Ten Cent
Store Gets Lease
W. L. Fanning and Company Sublets
Masonic Building to Rose’s
5 and 10 Cents Store.
The Rose Five and Ten Cent store
has secured a lease on the Masonic
building from the W. L. Fanning and
company until Jan 1st 1928 and will
occupy the same about September 15
when the new Fanning building now
being erected by Beam Brothers is
completed. The lease was signed this
week by P. H. Rose who operates a
chain of five and ten cent stores in
the two Carolinas and opened a store
here in the Royster building last year.
The W. L. Fanning company secur
ed a lease on the Masonic building un
til January 1st, 1928 when it was pur
chased some months ago by the Ee
viere drug company. At that time the
Fanning company expected to oper
ate two stores, retaining their pres
ent location in the Masonic building
and opening a new store in the hand
some building which is being erected
by Beam Brothers on the site of the
old Princess theatre. However, Mr.
Fanning decided that since the new
Beam building will have a floor area
four times as large as the Masonic
building he now occupies, he would
have ample space to carry all Iinei in
the new building and the Fanning
company will concentrate on the new
store which wrill be ready for occu
pancy by September 15th. Consequent
ly when It was known that the Ma
sonic building was available for sub
lease, the Rose management under
took to secure the lease and this week
the papers were signed.
The Fanning building being erected
by Beam brothers is one of the most
convenient and modern store iTlaces
in Shelby and work is moving along
rapidly toward its completion.
