Fellow cam'1 into my office on a recent day and said he was going to stop the paper. 1 had said somethin’ or rutbnr that didn’t exactly agree with his clear and unclouded vision of matters mundane, or mayhap it was of things tgirestial—that and nothing more— but-he-waK-agwino-to-stop-the-paper! Well, sirs. I liked to have jumped out of my chair and clear over the desk. Going to stop the paper wouldn’t let the big press run no more—-Jumpin' Ju-peter—how’n Sam hill was I goin’ to make a livin’ if the fellow reallv could do what he sa:d? Wouldn’t let me nrint no mn--' ketch-ell kolumns; couldn’t tell all about his girl gettin’ married, or his boy acceptin’ of a good job, write obituaries when any of his folks died, couldn’t even tell of his friends week-endin’ with him, r.or when he and his good wife Sundayed and paid ’em back a visit, et cetery, and so forth and so on. But at last in talking to the guy I found out he was only stoppin’ his own paper—his subscription- -and not a-goin’ to prevent me from send in’ it to you—and you—and you. Then I felt better. And when at who had come in during the day and eventide I counted those good friends said, “Please send me your paper,” I was content, went home in my little lizzie limousine to my six-room-and a-bawth mansion on Riverside Drive on historic Old B’arskin Crick—and called it a day. Guilty Parents. (From Monroe Enquirer.) A young boy, recently arrested and sent to the juvenile court on charges of incorrigibility, told the officers that in his fifteen years of living he had never been to church and to school only two or three days. The youngster ran away from a step father. We don’t blame him. As far as we can see the proper solution of such problems depends upon the ar rest of the parents concerned, not the boy. Any father willing for his boy to grow up in ignorance of education and religion, is unfit to have a son. If he is so depraved that he doesn’t care the state ought to put him in the peniten tiary until he learns better, and while the process is going on take his earn ings for the proper support of his off spring.

Monument 21 Feet Might to Kd Price. i (Special to The Star.) Lattimore, Feb. 21.—On Tuesday niji-ht a pa/sorby would not have re cognized Lattimore had he not been familiar with the progress that is be ing made in otir little city. The streets wore made to shin • like new money. The enstallment of the electric lights is one among many of the improve ments that is being made. Within the next decade we hope to see the streets paved and many branches of industriy rise up. The lit tie town is flourishing ) and we hope for it a more speedy de- i velopmont than ever. A beautiful marble monument has been erected on our campus in memory of Private Ed Price, the only boy of! our community to make the supreme! sacrifice in the \\ orhl war. The monu ment is about 21 feet high and is er ected in front of the schol building. It adds greatly to the apnearnnee of our school ground.

The score was tied up in the first, third, and fourth quarter and the two teams play ed a five minute extry period to de cide who would be winner. The Gaff ney boys shot a field goal and a foul before the Lattimore boys raised their score, but Farris and Champion cag ed a field goal each. And the guards did not let the Gaffney boys shoot any more, so the Lattimore boys crawled out one point a head 32-31 the Latti more boys have 829 points to their op ponents 280 points this season, this made their 26th game. The fast five of Gaffney is the strongest team we have met this sea son. Webbs Hear From Harold Himself The black dot that indicates Shelby on the map may now be made a little larger. Harold Lloyd, the prince of merrymakers, the fellow with the dumb look on his face that just makes people laugh, knows the whereabouts of Shelby and that the town has a new theatre. What more could Shelby ask from the bashful boy? Right in the midst of showing their opening picture Thursday, Harold Lloyd in “Girl Shy” the Webbs, J. E. and Claude, received a telegram, and despite the rush of seating an open ing day crowd they just had to read it. The telegram, which was signed by Harold Lloyd read as follows: “Con gratulations on the opening of your new theatre with “Girl Shy.” You have my best wishes for your success. Harold Lloyd.” The theatre manage ment also received telegram from the Pathe exchange and other movie firms.

EXTENSION CESTJUK BT ID OE WEEK Shelby Will Be Official Little City By “Bath-time" Saturday Nitfht Along about Friday of this week Shelby, the same old home town, will have undergone a change. In a way it will just bo the same place, the wmc people and the same spirit that Inis marked such wonderful progress 'n recent years, but formally it will bo twice, or almost twice, as large as it now is. Officially, the Shelby of today has only a little more than 5, 000 inhabitants. Friday the official population should be near 10,000. Tlie bill providing for the extension of the city limits of the -own passed" its second rending Saturday and the third Monday before the house and passed on to the senate for further favorable progress, and in ail likeli hood by the end of the week official North Carolina will recognize Shel by as a town with a radius of one and a one half miles. Those who are familiar with lawmaking and such say that the extension will ma terialize, or should by Friday arid although there will be little visible outward change the Greater Shelby will have been created. With the bill passed extending the limits the next step will be the employment of an engineer to survey and make out the new boundaries of the town. Everything Favorable The committee that went to Ral eigh, O. Max Gardner, Clyde R Hoey and O. M. Mull, upon their return stated that the complete passage was favorable-pin fact, certain. The trio visited the house committee where the bill received unanimous approval, and consulted others regarding the matter. Representative B. T. Falls following the last and apparently final compromise received a protest it is said and in turn notified those opposing the compromise that he would give them a hearing along with the proponents of extension, but nothing further developed in opposi tion, the returning committee reports. ! The committee in the senate will 1 favor the bill also, according to the i returned delegation and Senator I Roach, of this district, will aid in I its passage, which makes the exten sion seem a cejtainty. The exact population of the town will probbably be determined immed iately following the survey to be made and announcement made of the population of the Greater Shelby. Ex tension takes effect on the day the measure passes the senate and the survey will follow immediately. Although there was some little dissati faction following the com promise it seems to have practical ly disappeared with the realization that the move was best for the town and community in general and indi cations are that everyone will work in harmony for a more progressive little city.' Local Talent Play / At Central School “In Wrong—So Long” a local talent musical comedy will be presented at the Central school auditorium here Friday evening at 8 o’clock.
