IN RE: ONE FORD CAR.
North Carolina—Cleveland County.
Notice is hereby given that pursu
ant to Chaner 1 of Subsection No. 6
public laws of 1923, I seized one Ford
car No. 5008401 in No. 9 Township,
Cleveland county, said car being used
at tne time for transporting intoxi
cating liquors. The owner will come
forward and claim same on, or before
June 23rd, 1924. In case no owner or
other claimant or other person being
interested in said Ford shall come
forward and claim same, notice is
hereby given that same will be sold
at public auction at the court house
door in Shelby, on SATURDAY
JULY 5th, 1924, at 2 o’clock 1*. M.|
or within legal hours.
This the 9th day of June, 1924.

’Squire A Solomon.
"Wise as Solomon”, in an expres
sion often beard. Everyone knows of
the wisdom of King Solomon, oven the
children. As a judge hi:; judgments
were never questioned and the story of
how he decided the motherhood of a
child is a favorite with all. In his de
ei ion he followed no law hut his own
judgment and last week ’Squire T.
I*1skridge made n similar decision,
except that it, was a hog in question
and instead of two people wanting it,
both wanted the other to have it, pro
vided—
Shull s market purchased a hog
from a man by the name of Smith in
South Shelby and shortly thereafter
a question arose over the sale and it
was this question ’Squire Eskridge
was asked to settle- in a legal way,
however. Neither wanted the hog. One
wanted the other to have if if he
would pay for it, while the other did
not want (lie hog or to pay for the
hog—a rather unusual situation. The
’Squire collected his thoughts, erossed
and uncrossed his feet. The law books
hardly coped with the problem in
question. “Fifty-fifty. Cut the hog in
two. One pays for half of it, the other
loses half of it.” Perhaps the words
were not those of Solomon, for the
King of Israel ordered a ehild cut in
two—and the hog was dead, hut the
judgment was similar and set a pre
cedent should another such contro
versy arise -which, by the way, is
not likely.
Bets on Blooms.
Boss Ruttle want to bet there will
he plenty of cotton blooms by the us
ual time—July 4th. Cotton suffered a
severe set-back during the planting
season, but Bass says the hot weather
lias caused it to make up lost time.
Over in Beer’s cotton office on Thurs
day. Bass wanted to bet that he could
pick 100 blooms from George Dover’s
fields on Will Whisnant’s farm just on
the western rim of Shelby on July 4.
One man offered to wager a hat, but
Bass don’t want that. lie says he
eould go hiirehjetided and preferred to
M real good hard money which lie
needs Worse than n hat, but no one
has consented to take him up. A tele
graphic dispatch came in announcing,
blooms in South Carolina, but Bass
said that wouldn’t bear the market
because it is natural for rotten to
bloom. He lias no fears of a big crop
in Cleveland.
Critf Borders exhibited a boll wee
vil which was found on a farm next to
bis field Tuesday but even this doesn’t
disturb Bass. Wind, rain, hail, insects
and pests can’t upset his equilibrium.
He still believes the weevil is a God
send to the smith in that it has caused
the crop to bring millions of dollars
more than it would have brought with
out weevil damage.
Bolls, Hats, Soap.
When you enter a store you know
what you want ordinarily, but it is
another matter to “figure out’’ just
what the other fellow wnnts. Have
you over stood in front of a depart
ment store—or snv a 5 and 10 cents
establishment and wondered what
stream of shoppers passing through
doors were looking for. A big depart
ment store carries everything from
hair pins *o cloth for pup tents. One
of the follows you see going in mav
tie a 4 sport ’ looking for a dress suit,
while the next may be a day laborer
after naan with which to wash the
grease from his hands—It’s hard to
tell about a department store patron
age, but they are nil after some one
thing, although they may buy more
before they leave. Paul Wootton. man
ager of the local store of the Gilmer’s
chain, which we might remark is one
of the mo t successful, links in the
chain, was asked ns to what three ar
tieles in the big store were most in
demand. Paul hesitated for a moment
and then rattled off: “Remnant rolls,
women’s hats and Octagon soap.”
j Remnant rolls, a short length cloth
of various kinds, rather all kinds, ran
he used fo” many things and 1,000
rolls are sold monthly by the store
Mr. Wootton manages. Remnant rolls
might be used as n reply to the aecu.

Better Parents For

Parents Should be Pals With Thom,1
Sol High Moral Standards, Make
Homo Mure Comfortable.
High Point Iforald.
14.ro Dr. W. L. Potent of,
Wake Forc.-t college said that some
how wo must manage to find bettor 1
parents for Ihe children. Presumably ,
hr meant ibat it was. not worth much |
to continue to find fault with and
berate ihe young for their faults un
til parents begin doing a better job.
In New York recently a radio broad
cast was sent out to parents. Among
Ihe pieces of good advice sent out was
the following iiy Mr. Edward W. Still,
associate superintendent of schools*
1. Set proper standards for your
children to follow,
2. He friends with your children,
walk and play with them occasionally.
We must not live above our children
hut with them.
.‘1. Do not scold too much. En
courage them to do their host. I.et us
remember what Phillips Brooks said:
“Children are white, spotted black,
not black, spotted white.”
4. See that they select proper
friends and associates.
f>. Make home as comfortable and
happy ns your means permit.
C. Ciive your children at least a
high school education.
i. Irani them in the habit of reg
ular attendance at church and Sunday
school.
8. See that they avoid all frame*
of chance. A ,'rambler never can be a
success in life.
7. See that your children take
plenty of physical training in the open
air. It is better exercise to walk than
to ride in a limousine.
10. Let your children fed that any
honor which they win in school, or any
act of courage, or unselfishness they
may perform, will bring great happi
ness to father and mother and put the
family name on a higher plane of
honor. Do not forget that the future
of America depends upon how your
boys and girls are trained today, not
on how-vou ware trained when you
were children.
Let us hope that the proper celebra
tion of “Parent’s Day” may lead to
iletter homes, more regular attend
ance at religious services, and a finer
type of citizenship, all of which will
combine to make our nation the best
in the world. Let us all work to make
our United States a Republic of
Homes.

It is dangerous to Go, when the

These signals warn you that there is
a “traffic jam” in the kidneys, and the
“Go" signal can’t be utilized until the
