''•'lion Dixon McNeil! writes in Sunday’s News and Observer ol ™ “North Carolina's only living e\ £ governor returning to a quiet b, life.” Ben Dixon could have writ * ten story on our opinion along * Tom Best’s style in only two C; Words: “It’s Time.” ^ __. _i_ A prominent visitor in Shelby " recently remarked: “I mtiee that Cleveland county has bee n £ termed North Oarclimi’s typical county in agricultural progress ” It might have been added I’mru my observation that 1 he p o gross of the state along indus H trial lines in recent vears is tvpi > tied in the remarkable.crow th of <*.

And it is. *Few * schools of like size have athletic records that excel ours and few schools of any size iri the state have turned out more star ath letes. But lest we forget, we aid *; have a school that turns out win ~ iters other than athletics and a schorl that turns out more than ;* athletes. For example take a * matter that is npw of public in * t.erest—the high school debaters. * For two straight years both - Shelby teams in t he state trian ... gular debate have won their way £ to the finals at Chapel Mil!-—and by a unanimous vote on both or ' easions. Cleveland county is not for the orators that call the *county home and from the pro .-jJilcts being turned out by the lo cal school will continue.to be so ♦ noted. It’s a credit to any school system that can train young bnvs and girls in such a manner that ^ they are enabled to win sectional honors two successive years ** without one dissenting vote! And due credit must be given th 'boys and girls, they » 'fleet h > -..or on themselves and th r schools.

LADIES^ The Superior court grand jury in their report to Judge Stack heartily barked up the movement of Shelby women to improve the appearance rf the county court house, which is located in the rente:’ of Shelby’s outstanding beaut:, spot. What’s more Judge Sunk added his endorsement in plain terms. The- report of the grand jury and the eriteistn of tin judge leaves nothing else to be done hut: improve the appear ance of trie county’s official home and the ladies should be on hand to see that the word is properly carried out. The “court square” is far fanted and whether or not so con sidered is one of the town’s big gest. asset's.- and from more standpoints than beauty. A lit tle cleaning up on the outside with thr shrubbery and flow •my* being planted will greatly remedy the exterior appearance. "1 he interior, however, presents the biggest problem and a wo man’s intuition and wisdom along such lines will come in handy in renovat ing the inside of the court house and making it what it should be, However, in agreeing with the grand jure that some clean ing up is in order we are not crit icising the commissioners or County officers. There has been no provision heretofore made for ore'-.erving the 1 ■ mty of the stately court square anil its buildings and as always is the case everybody's business is no th dv’i bq ditess, the appearance of the. building has suffered for lack of attention. Time of men is usually taken up in business, official and personal, arid it is us ually the women that clean up things and give a thought to beauty. And it’s mdst to the wo men of the county that t lu\v in tend to make their court house look bettor—for if you remem ber they are voters.now and may haw their say later if not when desired. ' THE LINDSAY CASE. Lindsay whc drew a ten year sentence for driving a ear which killed Farmer Harmon would have I a red natch better in court had he nol borne a reputation as a drinkinjf man. He certainly did not kill Mr Harmon on purpose. If was purely an accident and many citizens feel that he should not have been punished so se V"' ly for accidental murder, hut evidence tended to show that he was and has been since the fatal accident a :!• inking man and a v ,nVv.. preatest de > '< ‘o’! : ■ (-kea mw-a-days by - , dro-e-'s, Me one ’/ 1 :■’ '■ 1 —in behind a .the man " ' ■ ■ motor ve ■ hi" pussen hard for 1 1 - v ' fen years at ' an accidental hi irst accident ' ' 'oca htyond fifty [years with a la rye family, but! there was some evidence that Lindsay was drinking the night of the accident and that he had! been drinking since that time, so his case should serve as a warn- ! iny to drivers who are disposed I to drink. Had he borne a reputa tion for sobiety, his punishment certainly would have been much j lighter. Some of the sympathizers with I Lindsay contend that he is being j punished severely to make an ex-j ample, It should be a warning that there is a law against driv ing cars under the influence of liquor and that whenever a driv er is convicted in Judge Stack’s '•ourt, sure punishment is com ing. COURTS IN SHELISY. March has been a real court | I month in Shelby, Judge E, Y. Webb carro first with his second 'term of a Federal court and that I brought hundreds of people from the d’strict embracing four boun t iea. In three days he disposed ofi sixty odd cases, cleared no the leases ready for trial and adjourn 'ed. It was strictly business with him and not moment’s time was; lost. District Attorney Jonas re-j markod that Judge Webb is <he best student rf human nature he ever saw. He can read innocence o” guilt in a defendant’s face. Then. too. his memory is remark able. Back in his campaigns for Congress he cultivated the habit of remembering names and faces and perhaps knew more people personally than any mem-; her of tb<’ United States con-' I'ress. In his court duties he can always remember whether a de fendant has been before him or not and just what; sort of evi dence was introduced and what disposition was made of the case. It is a wonderful help to him in, -bowing merev for the fir,f rf fense and going the limit on re-; peaters.
