WEATHERS_President tZ RENN DRUM_Local Editor Entered us second class matter January 1, 11)06, at the postoffice at Shelby, North Carolina, under the Act of Congress, March 3, 1873.

TUESDAY, FEB. 10, 1925. „ ' When you become pessimistic use the l following for your motto: “Smile.” The Carolina Motorist heads its joke column: “Free Air and Blow •*»■* Outs.” David Lawrence says: “Do Not Ex. poet Farm Matters to Pass Senate Now.” No one ha; been expecting it Some people say that hard work kills men, but who ever noticed a busy bee flop from exhaustion. <h '•» 3 *v. ■■ Some people may "live and learn,” but a student that spends 15 years in school preparing for life must think that it's "learn in order to live.” 1 The Greensboro News says there is no west. If that be the case we want to know where Cleveland county farm ers buy their hay. The next time wo have anything to say about our ex-governor we’ll hesi tate a week and see if ,we’ll have to swallow what we had to say. We have the idea,that hereafter Mr Maxwell's opinions will he respected try what some people consider the in significant part of North Carolina— “the general public.” Wouldn't it be great to hear a con versation between (‘resident Coolidge and an Indian chief when a fellow does not know the meaning of silence and can’t understand Indian jabber. ... j According to the Raleigh corrcspon ;' , dots the legislators will begin to get started to do something during the re-' ' J nj»inder of the session, the first halt 'living devbted to finding out what to do. * For once we don’t believe statistics, '"Tw there’s something crooked going on.

It’s fur better to pro duce educated men and women than record cotton crops. S» ■ MM iKM A** ■ ,^3W *** <HV# pfi A TASK FOR K1WANIS. At Charlotte today a meeting wan hold at which representatives of the Charlotte chamber of commerce and of other nearby towns ami cities met to formulate plans and a campaign to { encourage industries to locate in the Piedmont, or the territory that ecu ! tralizes at Charlotte. Scores of largi manufacturing plants seeking expan sion for rapidly developing businesses are turning to the Southland with its vast resources and advantages for their expansion. And it might be said 5 are turning in nnnibers to North Car olina. New' manufacturers, and heaca of new industries have been in recent years and are seeking favorable and advantageous locations in this state 1 The meeting at Charlotte with prpo i ar spirit shown should mean some thing beneficial to the territory repre sented—for few sections appear more attractive when properly presented than Piedmont Carolina. Shelby is a part of Piedmont Caro plina, and offers the opportunities thai are offered by other towns of the sec tion. Shelby was not represented at *ihe meeting. Of course, Shelby has no chamber * of commerce and the Charlotte meet. ,j(ng was formally under that head. Yet, "riit recent months there has been some agitation here for encouraging the lo. cation in Shelby of outside industry. YVe have something to offer; Piedmont Carolina has something to offer, oi •r- tfce representatives who met at Char lotte would not have wasted time in 1&N* planing to present to the woMd some thing we do not have. But so far as it may he semi Shel by is no better known to the outside world than it wa six months ago. There has been no effort to attract outside industry or manufacture. These are days of advert!-mg, and there are many forms of advertising. Perhaps light here in Shelby we have a location that some big ,\orth< rn in dustry would eon idi r ideal for it branch plant or the establishment ot some ne.v industry. I> it it knows | not the town has such. a 1 .'ration how I can Shelby grow,' <r the town profit merely by having something that somebody would wan* if they knew tve bad it. Somethin s the raying "'that which is ever;, tm<o ' busmens is nobody’s Itusine. rings very ntai ; true. ’i he local K.avvni club meets the needs here of a chamber of commerce and other civic organisations devoted to the boosting and pi ogress of the town. Can the club keep Shelby in step? Or must we continue to be the “City of Springs,” attractive to Inane folks, unknown to outsiders? K-KKI'INtt’ i:.M ON THE FARM. “Mow You Gonna Keen 'Em Down on the Farm After They’ve Seen I’aie? .' " Th' \\ orl-l war ditty was just an age-old query e:.prcs;;cd in •the dialect of the times. That query, how to keip the young folks on the farm after they’ve witnessed the at tractions and conveniences of the city, ha:t been a pcrolexihg one for years.

Did you jump when you heard the big blast dow:> .■ i-.e rock quarry neai Shelby early Friday morning? Or wore you even interested or disturb ed in the prediction of the Rowenites that the end of the world was to come Friday? Suggesting a a scoffer we think the prediction would have had more eli'ect and carried more weight had the date of the milmnium been set for Friday of this week. For Fri day' isthe “l.'.th", and there are con siderably more people in this country who are superstitions than are ready to become frightened and terrified by the prophecies of a cult like the Row enites. Last Friday -according to Mrs. Mar garet Rowcn, housewife prophetess and u disciple or leader of the Rowen ites. formally known as the Reformed Adventist church, the war’d was to come to an end. Out on the hilltops in California disciple, of the cub' hud dled during the day and evening a wait ing the end. Up in New York a man sold his household goods and waited —he was a believer in part for he knew nothing could be taken with him, Here and there all over the country followers of the belief and the super stitious silently awaited the predicted ed. Hut it did not come. The housewife prophetess said that the finis to old Mother Earth would he one great cat^ aclasmie crash, but as the clocks toll ed midnight and a new day, Saturday, started to tick its way on the wings of time, the crash did not come. Oth er followers said that Friday would only see a “sign in the sky which would be evidence to the faithful that the world had entered its last lap” Perhaps some saw the sign, but the most of us were locked in the arms of Morpheus at midnigh ights^^^^^t listurb cd by nightmares brought about by the prediction. And with some we agree when in pessimistic moods that the “world grows worse”, but not bad enough to let an ignorant cult shake our belief in the Bible, in God. Had we been frightened by the Rowenite prophecy and made fearful by their expected millennium our faith in the Maker of all things and His handiwork could not have been the faith it should. Followers of the belief awaited the hour set by theli leader for the coming of Christ—yet no man knows “the hour of His com ing.” CLIPPED CUTS. It is easy to pick out the foreign born.

FALLS, Commissioner. 4-3< OPINIONS -OF OTHERS The Stage in Reals (From Charlotte News.) A frozen mining town in far North ern Alaska. Hemmed in by ice-capped peaks and snow-covered trails, it lies powerless in the grip of a terrible epidemic. Already some have died, many are sick and the whole population is threatened. The lone doctor, his anti toxins exhausted, battles desperately to stave off the horrible death that is certain to sweep down upon the lit tle town unless help arrives quickly. Over the hill the loader of a dog team, his tongue out and his huge shoulders foaming even in the icy air, breaks through the ice-blocked trail and speeds with his trusty mates toward the little plague-swept town. Hanging on to the hack of the slfcd or running beside it to urge his dogs | along faster comes a hardy son of the | Northland. * "ere is a trroater on^er nv. the I waiting town discovers that help has at last arrived. Leonard Seppalla, champion dog “musher” of the North, has broken his own record to bring diptheria antitoxin to his stricken peop'e of Nome. This ik not the nolt of a Jack Lon don short, story. It might well be. thoueh. It would rival “The Call of the Wild’ or any of the other famous London yarns of the frozen North. This is a true story. It has just happened. All the world has been in terested in the race of the champion dog driver and his picked team of huskips against the death that lurk ed in those ice-ribbed hills of Nome, Tho world, is after all, a stage. Ev ery day in some corner of that stage is being acted a tense drama, a highly thrilling melodrama, a comedy, a tragedy, that rivals the wildest dreams of a wr'ter of fiction. Scnpalla carrying serum to Nome j on a dog sled ns a dying t wn hreath | lessly awaits the life-mving fluid—it j is nothing if rot melodramatic. And isn't there sorr'thing almost comically incongruous in the story? A dog team, a most elemental meth od of travel, carries diphtheria anti oxine, one ,of the latest products of rnedwal science, to an ice-bound town in tlie throes of a terrible epidemic, while the telegram and the wi reless keep the who’e worl'd in touch with every step of {he unfolding drama.

The last refinement of modern medi cine. horn and Derfected in the very citadels of covilization, is being rush ed by the most ancient and crudest method of transportation to a ronimun ity locked by a frozen arm of Behring sea against anv other contact with Hie outside world. In Nome are COO or 700 persons; in the hack country are some 11,000 more. They are all depen. dent, upon one physician.

A strange mixture of modern science and age-old humanity is in volved in this struggle. In the end it is the man and the beast that must meet the test. Cotton And Counties. (From Charlotte Obserer.) Robeson County, whose cotton crop' the past year was less than half what' it was in 192a. has lost its place of leadership among North Carolina cot ♦ on growing counties to Johnston and five other counties, according to the preliminary report of the department of commerce, issued through the bu reau of the census on cotton ginned by counties in the state, crops of 1923 and 1924. , For vears#Robeson led all other North Carolina counties in thy produc. titfa of cotton, producing a number o* bales eoual to its nopillat’ around 60.000 To p "r-d,,. ■ «t 58,231 hales rtl'i .T-.ti-i.-tnr. nred n <.<! 61,558. The w-‘ - Johnston drop- i ped about 10,000 balgs to 51,852, but Robeson suffered the severe reverse of producing less than half the crop it produced in 1928, dropping to 28,721 lies. The past year six counties out classed Robeson in cotton production, as follows: Cleveland with 40,536, be ing a slight increase over 1923 pro duction; Halifax, with 30,609 bales, a decrease of more than one-third from the 1923 crop; Harnett, with 35, 135 bales, a slight increase over 1923 Johnston, with a decrease of about 10,000 bales from the record of year before last; Nash, with 41,949 bales, a decrease of nearly 6,000 from 1923, and Wake, with 34,670 bales, a de crease of more than 5,000 bales from 1923. In 1923 Johnston led all other counties, but Robeson was a close second, the latter out-distancing all other counties by more than 10,000 bales. The total production for the state ip 1924, as grinned prior to January 23, was 822,086 bales, as compared with the 1923 crop of 1,028,138 bales. The greatest decreases were in some of the great eastern cotton ‘growing coun ties. Numbers of the more westernly counties increased their production; others showed a slight decrease, as did Mecklenburg, which declined from 19,581 to 18,190. Anson showed a decrease from 23, 565 to 21,444. Cabarrus increased from 11,992 to 12.832, while Catawba drop ped from 12,268 to 11,660. Cumberland adjoining Robeson, dropped from 22, 100 to 16.226, while Scotland, also ad joining Robeson, dropped nearly 50 per cent, from 30,771 to 16,786, and Scotland formerly had the reputation of being the greatest cotton produc ing county in the South in proportion to its area. It is a very small county. Davidson showed a very slight de crease, from 2,171 to 2,107 bales. Da | vie jumped its production nearly 50 per cent, from 3,294 to 4,270 bales. . Gaston showed a slight decrease, from 9,906 to 9,718. Iredell decreased | from 17,494 to 14,102 bales; likewise Lincoln showed a decrease from 12,802 to 11,483, Richmond dropped from i 20,277 to 44,097, while Rowan increas : ed its crop from 11,063 to 13,236 bales. Rutherford showed a very slight de crease, from 14,612 ot 13,416. Stanly ; made a slight gain, from 8,481 to 8, 747 bales. Union dropped from 26, 651 to 23,812 bales. No Cause For Alarm. (From Statesville Da iy.) Always open season for political speculation. Washington, given to pulling bon.heads with reference to S-ate polities, puts out the word that Mrs. Palmer Jerman, of Raleigh, prominen' clubwoman, may enter the gubernatorial race in 1928. Thereup on Mu's Julia Alexander, legislative r. nn tentative from Mecklenburg, vol *red the information that she be in the race herself. Some talk about, but Max Gardner I ,, , a. ..it for alarm—not yet. Sime Difference,. (From N. C. Christian Advocate.) Dis atisfact'on with present attain ments is a primal characteristic of man. The robb.n, the wren and all God’s feathered creatures are content "'Ah the nests and the songs of a} thousand generations. The centuries j come and go, but the squirrel is st 11 , satisfied with his storehouse of nuts. ' Cut the history of the human race is ; altogether a different story. One 1 generation is but a stepping stone to something h ghcr. The tug is out of the unattained and the unknown. Neither has any bird or animal shown an interest in the worship of God. The beaver builds dams, but builds r.o temples. Man, on the contrary, de mands as a necessary part of his life a place to worship his duty. It Reminds Hickory. (From Hickory Record.) Wouldn’t you walk miles to hear a joint debate between Cam Morrison ] and Josephus Daniels on the fiscal j cordition of the State? Governor Morrison has again broken silence and says the New* and Observer is! ’o'. fa’Vto him or his administration! anent the much talked deficit, and challenges Mr. Daniels to one or more | joint debates. Daniels replies that I Morrison should challenge Governor! McLean who “is compelled to find a way to meet this large deficit.” Reminds us of Max Gardner's re rly to. our townsman A. A. Whito'er iir carnpa'gn last year, when Whi'e i er challenged Gardner for joint de bn o Gardner replied that Whitener “h d his wires crossed,” that he should challenge Col. Mcekins, re P'.'.Micar, candidate for governor. I’ut we sure would like to hear i ] Lam and Joe in joint debate. Get A License, tI*rom News and Observer.) A special from Concord yesterday the people of Gaston Means’ na tive town cannot understand why Gaston is both fined and sentenced ;° ja I while his co-defendant, Felder, ■s only sentenced to pay a fine. The answer is easy. Gaston Means sinned as a j inner. Felder sinned as a law yer. The “benefit of clergy” nearly always goes to lawyers because they allege they acted as attorneys and not as principals. Moral—If you wish to escape full punishment, get license to practice! law. One Ear Of Corn. (From Charlotte Observer.) A mail-order house in Chicago is ge a National Good Corn Show, n March 2, and end the 7th. It nown as “seed corn test j ‘ ■•K. tla: object being to impress ! j n oa t .e agricultural interests the j vak.e of selecting good seed, in which J direction, under promotion of the I county agents, much progress has been f made in North Carolina. The point of « interest is that the farmers of this I 1 State, who have made specialties of fine corn at the various county fairs, might take some of their exhibits to Chicago and bring home cash prizes to the possible extent of $2,500. In fame and reputation, however, it would be worth much more. The farm er who shows the best ear will get $5. The farmer whose ear of corn is adjudged to bo the best in the Na tion, will get $1,000. The community showing the largest number of ears will get a similar cash prize. Here is where the No"th Carolina county agents could come in. They might se lect the best in their respective coun ties, club the lot and send it to Chi cago. A North Carolina county fair consolidated exhibit would be likely to take the prize anywhere. The Carolina Newsboy. (From N. C. Christian Advocate.) “O. O. McIntyre, one of the very best among syndicated writers, is in vading the South. Glad he is. Writers, ;is a rule, are strangely ignorant of the meaning of the South to this na tion. Its racial solidarity will yet be our salvation.. Mr. McIntyre had an experience that illustrates this. Leav ing New York, he says, he handed out half a dollar through a car win ! dew for a newspaper. The newsboy ! set thumb to nose, twiddled his fing | era and made off with the change. At I a station in North Carolina, Mr. Mc ' intyre tried the same experiment. The boy handed back the correct I change and said ‘Thank you.’ The I exnlanation is simnle. The North I Carolina boy was an American; the ! New York boy was not. It is good, ■once in a while, for dwellers i:i Man i hattan’s foreign isle to make a trip • into the United States.” It's really refreshing to hear some body adrfi.t that, as a rule, writers arc ignorant of the South, as the Dearborn Independent does in the foregoing. It must be the first in- j stance on record. Most of these Pull-j man car window experts can in one ; trip learn more abotu Dixie than the! oldest inhabitants ever dreamed of. ] Mr. McIntyre, however, got his facts j straight. The newsboys of North Carolina are both honest and polittJ Not all men in North Carolina will do j to trust, but you can trust the news--] boys on the streets. They have not yet gotten away from their mother’s ] teaching and learned the ways of dis- ] honest and dishonorable men. Our hat ;s orf to the boy who is out at daylight to earn honest pennies ar.u nickels by selling papers. Whom God Hath Joined. (From Charlotte Observer.) The laws of South Carolina do not recognize divorce. In that state, whom God hath joined together man i will not put asunder. Giddy youth! from Georgia and North Carolina! slip into the Palmetto Commonwealth 1 to get their knots properly tied, and j after a while slip back again to get' them untangled. South Carolina will | rot permit the legal sundering of mar- | rags tics, but in North Carolnia a! bi 1 is pending to make divorce auto- ! matic when there is no issue after ■ two years of marriage. It is a pre„ dizzy world in which we live . have our being. In other states the divorce court grind and grind. People arc marrj, and given in marriage, and someth es the knot holds, and often it ^ not. Courts have patted themselvi on the back for their proficiency; granting so many divorces in so rnas minutes. Marriage has come to be ri garded more in the light of an periment than as a life-time job. j you do not like it you swing c-onia and change partners—and there y. are. There are as many grounds f, divorce as there are people seek* them. Dislike of the color of a mari necktie is sufficient to give a gir! right to try, try again. Marriage as they would have a is no longer a solemn obligation.] you do not like it, you do not ha, to stay married—unless you happg to live in South Carolina, And if do live in South Carolina ami an willing to take a little journey ijj another State, all will be well, preacher propounds, “Whom God hal joined together,” pockets his fee at turns the couple over to the coud to grind again into a state of *;.r| blessedness. Sometimes they arc mat. ried so many times that they canto remember all of the names to whit they have responded. Sometimes the get so confused that they even mart their own husbands arid wives oyg again. The old world gets crazier aj crazier all the time. But perhaps after all, South Cars lina has the best of it. She is plod d'ng along in the exact middle of th road. Whom God hath joined togeti er she will not put asunder, brn sin will not stop ’em if they wish to leavi her portals long enough to carry ;’nej grist to some other State’s mill. Then is nothing sacred any more. Homes merely a place to go when you ban nowhere else to go. Family life s America is hanging by its eyebrow over the dizzy brink. Youth is darn ing on the edge of the precipice. Ms and women come and go—but the di vorce courts go on forever. Only in South Carolina they do no recognize the right of people to man and then repent of it. Down there the; still regard marriage as a sacred ob ligation. If two people have made mistake in choosing their life part ners—that is their affair; when man has made his bed he must pel force lie on it. At least they will no put asunder when God hath joined to gether. The burden of responsibilit for that is left with neighborin states. Heavy Fire Losses. Fire losses in North Carolina dui in? the month of January amounte to $700,000 with only 4 per cent cov ered by insurance. In one small tow the loss was 100,000 with only S2.O0 insurance.
