The four amendments to the con stitution and the two referendum pro posals voted on Inst Tuesday made entirely too much for the voting to weigh at one election. It wu* a mis take to submit six proposals at one time for these were too many for the voters to understand sufficiently to vote intelligently. Many of the voters did not exercise their eight and duty in respect To these propros als, because .they had not been suffi ciently informed and when they came to the polling place it was too late to weigh them from ull angles und vote in accordance with their better judgment. All of the proposals, how ever, seem to have carried except the ■me allowing the legislators an in crease in pay from $4 to if 10 for the sixty days the General Assembly is in session once pvejr two years, and the referendum providing ports and term ipala at a cost of eight and a half million dollars. Future law makers should by all means bear the fact in mind that only one amendment or referendum should be submitted at ope time in older to get an intelligent nttd correct :«nti ment of the whole people. STAY AN “INSPIRATION" “The impressive summary is worth reproducing for the INSPIRATION of farmers in general’'—which is The Charlotte Observer speaking of the volume of business done by Cleveland county farmers during 192D. The comment was brought forth by the , article written by Miss Hattie Berry in The Market News, in which Miss Berry said: “If every county in North Carolina could follow* the program • which Cleveland put into practice, it would not he long before we would be a billiori-dollar state agriculturul ", ly". Both articles rank high in the many tributes paid thp farmers of Cleveland county, but— ^ If we hold our place as a “leader in diversification and in prosperity’’ we must not settled down and he sat isfied with heing a one-time INSPIR ' ATlfMb' to the farmers of the state. Other counties nre taking rapidly to diversified agriculture and there must ' be no slowing up if Cleveland keeps -» to the forefront. It would l>« nice to be the leading agricultural county in g “billion dollar agricultural state”. Cleveland can be—and, it’s our guess, will be. MORRISON S BROADSIDE. Governor Morrison fired a broad side at the public press and those who opposed his port and terminal bill, singling opt Mai Gardner of Shelby as a special target against whom he seeks vengeane^. Those who opposed thp Governor's port and terminal bill pnly exercised their right of opinion * on a public matter and they had as much fipiit to their opinion and were no df''>i»t just as sincere as the Gov ** ernor mrnsclt. it. R. Clark, the able contributor!* to the editorial columns of the Greensboro News takes this sensible position in fhe matter: “And the public will probably won der why, if the governor is in a mood to slam somebody, he doesn’t begin on members of hja official household. Rome of those who utmost exceeded the bound of propriety in opposing the port bill are in place and power by grace of the governor. If he wants tp begin on these he will get some applause, impolitic as his action would h«- But undertaking to smite private . citizens, who are under no obligation to him whatever, Is another proposi tion. The governor deserves all cred it for thp fight he made for the port hill, {t was a sincere and patriotic effort for state development, whether one approve the plan or pot. But the governor’# impetgpsjty caused hiur to ovf reach himself. In his de sire to accomplish too much during his administration Up undertook the impossible—to put over the port prop twit ion in 6H days in tits midst of a political campaign.” BACK THE BOYS Shelby 4(id Cleveland enmity peo ple w« showing a regretful |«ch pf interest in Shelby High athletics. AU over North Carolina, from the moss festooned tress in the east to the wooded slopes la the west, Hus Shelby High athletic teams, mads up of boys from Shelby and the farms of Cleve land county, are bnowo—and dread ed- These teams have “put the town m ♦*»!» «u»p” more than any one thin*. As baseball champions they occupied the leadlines all over the state. In football they have never emerged champions, but in high school gridiron circle#! the Shelby eleven has for several years been regarded as the PpcilitB «* the high school gem*-* - [hard fighters and demons to stop, (This year the boys have high hopes of [state honors, but LACK OF INTER EST shown by home folks may damp en their spirit enough tp slow them up in the race. Some weeks back Charlotte turned out an unequalled high school crowd just to witness a Shelby ganje. Crowds pack the sidelines anywhere Shelby plays—except at home. Every town in the state J^irns out big crowds to see the teams Dick Curley made fam ous, or vice versa—but Shelby. This week a championship game, one tha* should have drawn hundreds, was switched lo another town because gate receipts here are far behind expenses. Perhaps the hoys will wonder after while if winning really meaty any thing when all the praise comes from outsiders and none from where it would actually be appreciated. They’re worth ten times their cost in advertis ing if you look at it in a business way. ft's not money in particular they want, it's moral “hacking.” A USEFUL MAN IS GONE The passing of Joe C. Smith re moves from our midst one of our nuhlest citizens. During his 19 years in Shelby he won the esteem of old and young in all walks of life. His gentlemanly hearing and public spirit edness made him useful in shaping • ho affairs of Shelby, in social, re ligious and business matters. While he was successful in accumulating a good portion of this world’s goods, he never changed his plain manner' an<T no man can say that he shunned or disrespected the humblest citizen. Mr. Smith did much for the social and re ligious life of his hundreds of om nlovees at the Shelby Mill. He did much for the Sunday .School there, en couraged gardening and flower grow ing, helped the younger people promote athletics and always had time for n social chat and a word of counsel and encouragement to his many friends who confided in him. The people loved him far what he really was. He never assumed a superior attitude but lived among the high and low. rich and noor, always the same Joe Smith. Even efter the weight of years and ill hpalth crept slowly upon his shoulders, he cultivated the sociality of young people and the community has been mode hotter by his having lived among us. The Passim? of A Fine Citizen Charlotte Observer. Charlotte people- will he grieved to leurn of the death of Mr. Joe C. Smith, at his home in Shelby, to which place he moved front this city many years ago and early became of important identity with Shelby’s material wel fare. For u long time Mr. Smith had been operating a cotton mill there and he years ago developed into ope of the successful textile managers of the state. Always he kept himself in the background. He pur sued the quiet way and made no public display of the community activities in which he en gaged. He and the late C. II. Bryant, of Charlotte, were of the same pat tern in that respect. In social life Mr. Smith was a man of companionable qualifications; ns a business man he enjoyed the utmost confidence of the people, and as citizen he rated in the class of the valuable. Mr. Smith was a member of The Observer’s popular quartet consisting of the Major, the Mill Man, Old Beck and the Norwe gian, the latter being sole survivor. At First Baptist Church.

Over in Austell’s barber shop, where they deal in national politics, the stock market, cotton crops, shaves “bobs”, there hangs a sign: “You'll Do Better In Shelby, The City Of Springs.” At the first rending there seems little of importance in the thought it carries" but meditate for a moment on the first five words I and see if you could have improved I on it without using any more of the t dictionary. Every day one of the bar bers looks at that sign. He came from Asheville, where millionaires are as plentiful as flivvers here, and he’ll tell you he is doing better “pull ing ’em” and “bobbin" here. We remember some month;-, back— not so very far in the past for our Shelby memories date back only a few moons—that there was a dog that seemed to be a town character here, that is^if dogs can be characters. This dog hung- to a bone like n boll weevil nestles to a cotton boll. Fact is the dog was never seen without a bone in his mouth and it was suicide to attempt to remove the bone—dog philosophers say that the clog was only a half-wit, had lost his mind or something to that effect. But the question uppermost in our minds, is what hns become of that dog? Did his family have another 'amne and the new city ordinance send iiini to the bone-yard for “keeps” instead < f his favorite bone? ■agaa’fn. '!■■!■ ■ ■ m. SPECIAL TODAY .Admission 25c - 35c..
