TUESDAY, NOV. 18, 1921.
PREACHERS AND POULTRY.
Preachers are proverbial lovers of
chicken, whether they nrc served on
the table or whether they are running
around in the barnyard. With an evi
dent desire that t!/ poultry stock of
Cleveland does not run low in quality
and quantity, several of our ministers
are fostering this great industry. Rev.
John W. Huttle had charge of the
poultry show at the Cleveland county
fair and he was a perfect fit. He is
well suited 7or both pulpiTand poultry
and we arc glad to see him take the
lead in organizing a poultry breeders
association for Cleveland. This can be
made a greut industry for the coun
ty greater than it is now, although
it holds the fourth place in the farm
ers income being surpassed only by
cotton, corn and dairy supplies.
It is learned that Rev. W. E. Lowe,
who recently purchased an eight acre!
tract on the National highway will,
follow his pet side-line of poultry rais-'
ing. The fact that the minister* are j
taking the lead lends dignity to the |
cause and with representatives from
the state and federal departments of,
agriculture here stimulating poultry;
raising, we expect to see wonderful
improvement in the poultry as a mon
ey crop.
HOW PUBLIC MEN DIE.
The passing of ex-Qovernor,
Kitchin leaves not a single ex-gover
nor of North Carolina now’ living.
Craig, Glenn, Bickett and others who
served before him all died compara
tively young. They did not live out
what is ordinarily a natural life, so;
the only conclusion that can be reach-1
ed is that the office is filled with so
many complex problems and so much
hefd work that the days of a gover
nor are shortened. The public does not
realize the strain that rests upon the
chief executive of state or nation, but
, the premature deaths of governors is
conclusive proof that their days are
shortened by four years hard service
for'the state of North Carolina. The
rarpe thing is true in the nation. Only
one ex-President, Mr. Taft, survives.
Roosevelt, Harding, Wilson and Clev
eland all died before the weight of
years took them to their graves. Mr.
,T a ft no doubt lives today because he
is happily disposed. His general char
acter and make-up is jovial—a dispo
sition peculiar to most fat men. He no
doubt worried at the time over the
complex problems thRt came up for
solution at the White House, but he is
evidently a man who can dispel w»v y
and not take them around wi'h him
after work hours and carry them to
bed with him at night.
THE PAPERS—AT LEAST.
Speaking of requests for travelling
libraries received from Iredell county
recently a News and Observer account
carried the heading “Iredell County
Starts Reading." W'e wondered what
was coming to the fellow who figur
ed out the units in waiting the head
to that story. Now the Statesville
Daily comes back writh enough quip
pant retorts to let the Raleigh news
papermen know that Iredell folks at
Dast read the newspapers. A part of
the retort is well worth perusal:
I here is no compunction in going
after the News and Observer to the
I'mtt. Iredell starts reading, indeed,
Iredell has been reading all along,
without dependence on the travelling
libraries. Just trying them out to sec
if they are any good after reading
everything else in sight. That’s why
55 orders were sent at once. Of
course that many orders would not
have come from a non-reading county.
Probably they ordered one or two li
braries at a time in Wake.
If somebody doesn’t talk mighty
nice about these libelous insinuations
it is really painful to think what an
Iredell jury will do to them when it
gets the facts. Iredell starts reading!
Said it as if we were .iust emerging
from the prime rclass. The more we
think about it the larger the sum that
will he demanded as mofpensation to
wounded dignity and lacerated feel
ings if something isn’t done—and at
once if not earlier.”
ANOTHER MEMORIAL.
Over the nation aS a whole we cel
ebra'ed Armistice Day, the end of the
world’s most gigantic struggle. Here
and there we see living reminders,
wrecked bits of humanity that have
aged a Considerable bit we notice in
six fleeting years. In public places and
on public grounds throughout Amer
ica artistic granite, marble and stone
bring back a memory of the conflict
a thought of those who fought. Some
time, perhaps an incoming generation
will erect a memorial of the sise and
magnitude of tlie Stone Mountain tri
bute to the Confederacy. For those I
who live now cannot conceive the j
greatness of it all, or the deserving'
tribute should be for the boys who
stopped fighting six years ago. Little i
by little though the memorial idea
spreads .The latest is rather unique:
America’s first soldiers to leave the
continent landed at St. Nazaire Bay1
on June 26, 1917. Nine years from
thnt date or on June 20, 1926, out on
a jutting rock in the bay there will be!
unveiled a statue as a memorial. On 1
an American eagle with a wingspread
of 35 feet an American soldier, 15 feet
in height, will tower, brandishing
aloft in his right hand as a crusader, I
a sword. The statue, by Mrs. Harry,
Payne Whitney, will be one of the
most beautiful tributes dating back
to the contest.
Three Shelby Boys
On Fresh Elevens
Arrowood Stars at Davidson and llen
ncssn and Bynum Are Injured
With State Yearlings.
Local athletic followers have been
w’atching with interest the work of
thro*> plovers who were last year stars
on the Shelby High eleven—Brevard
Hennessa and Boyd Bynum, at State J
and Hugh Arrowood at Davidson 1
Hennessa was in jured in the Mars Hii 1 j
runaway and has been unable to play
since. Bynum received a broken hand
last week when the Carolina .59 i
fre,gh elevens battled to n*fie. The Ral
eigh News and Observer of Friday
says of the two former Shelby players:
"Brevard Hennessa, former Shelby
high school star, will be unable to [
play Saturday, when State Freshmen!
and the first-year team of Wake For
est meet at Riddick field. Hennessa!
was injured in the Tech-Mars Hill |
game two weeks ago, and although!
he was out for pact ice Wednesday,
Coach Homewood was doubtful that
the youngster would be able to start.
Young Bynum, of Raleigh, a husky
guard, sustained a broken hand last
week when the yearlings played the
Carolina freshmen.
At Davidson, Arrowood seems to be;
cinching a first string berth for next j
year by his defensive play in the line.
Arrowood in his senior year was
awarded the cup for the best all
around student in school. In the Wild
Kittens recent defeat ,'!f> to .‘1 of the
Oak Ridge cadets the Statesville
Daily said "the defensive play of Ar-'
rowood, Mauldin and Ritchie was con-!
spictious. Coach Rawson already has
several players good enough for the
Wildcat varsity.”

“Three cheers for the progressive
Old North State we all love so well, a
shrine for democracy, the hearthstone
of colonial independence, the historic
home of hono.r, hospitality and hap
piness. Where we have the highest
per cent of homeraised people and (
where more bafiy carriages are wheel
ed and a smaller per cent of* coffins j
planted. Where beautiful women and
stalwart men take time to live. Where
womanly worthand manly merit meas-|
ure and mark the sterling standard ■
of social honor and club fellowship.i
Where the mighty din of discordant
jazz has not drowned out the soft
melodious tinkle of the banjo and
guitar and the tuneful singing of the
mocking bird and nightingale and the I
sweet music of the church hymnal and j
sa<*red tune. Where joyous spring and(
summer days, burdened with a bank
ruptcy of brilliant beauty of broad
landscapes throughout the state, from
Currituck county on the east to the
county of Cherokee on the west, and
from that almost inexhaustible moun- J
tain of granite at Mount Airy on the'
north to the rushing, receding, rest-;
less, rolling waves of the ocean at
Cape Fear on the south.
“Where no artist of mortal concep

of green of our bountiful forests,
touched up here and there with a
generous- sprinkle' of red-bud ancl dog
wood, the sweet magnolia and lovely
marmnsa, the colorful honeysuckle,
rhododendron and mountain laurel,
and the queen of the flowering trees,

gives doliffhtfullv cool and blissful
nights, aglow with the matchless fra
grance of the cape jasamine and the
sweet perfume of myriads of radiant
roses permeated bv the witchery of
soft moonlight. Surely it is sufficient
to perpetuate romance and keep for
ever alive the prevailing custom and
spirit of courtesy and chivalry in the
eweet-scented, sunny southland we so
delight to honor.”
Chivalry Dies When
Girls Get Shingled
Wake Forest, JJoy. 15.—And now
bobbed h iiif adds itsdlf to the 2()th
•entury forces; J.liat undermining
the famous stfutherp chivalry, iAr
ording ti Ff. T,. Pla t, who as si bar
ber in this college town, gets his share
of the boyish bobs, the men custom
ers do not -surrender their place in
the waiting line to the women cus
tomers. “It's first co.ne, first serv
ed,” says Mr. Pratt.
“Of course in about every hun
dredth mat) you may find one thut
will insist that the ladies go first.
Again you will find about oncq in
every blue moon ;i woman who gets
hefted if some man does not allow
her to precede him to the chair, even
if the man had priority claims.
“More often though we find that
the men seem just a little abashed
to ‘find women sitting around waiting
for their turn in the chair. These fel
lows will take a peek into the room
and catching sight of someone wait
ing for a hob will beat a hasty re
treat.”
Sonic amusing incidents sometimes
happen as a result of the women pat
; i onizing the same shop as their men
1 friends. One young lady was to en
tertain her out-of-town friend over
week end. The young man wrote say
ing that he would arrive at a cer
tain hour. The hour happened to be
the girl’s time for getting a shingling
so she wrote the man, telling him not
to call until a couple of hours after
the hour he had mentioned. She went
to get her bob at the regular time
an<jl there stretched out getting a
shave was her friend. Both were
■ rather nonplussed, but the young man
took a seat, waited until the girl had
had the tonsorial attention she need
ed and accompanied her home.
Tell Him Now.
If with pleasure you are viewing any
work a man is doing,
If you like him, if you love him,
tell him now;
Don't withhold your approbation till
(he parson makes oration
And he lies with snowy lilies o'er
his brow. %
For no matter if you shout it he
won’t really care about it,
He won't know how many teardrops
you have shed;
I If you think some praise is due him
now's the time to slip it to him
For he cannot read his tombstone
when he’s dead.
More than fame and more than money
is the comment kind and sunny
And the hearty,, warm aproval of a
friend,
For it gives to life a savor and it
makes you stronger, braver,
And it gives; you heart and spirit to
the end;
If he oarns your praise, bestow it;
if you like him elt him know it;
Let the word of true encouragement
be said;
Do not wait till life is over and he’s
underneath the clover,
For he cannot read his tombstone
when he's dead.
