For the satis faction, rather approval, of that particular writer we will attempt to answer the queries, not, how ever, to continue a discu ion, and in turn will ask one question. Shelby never considered it “an unethical and unsportsmanlike thing to investigate Caldwell s record.” However, such an inves tigation seems to have been un timely staged—after a club had won sectional honor.; and alter vain attempts had been made to have a game thrown out. After the game in question,-which i might be said was officiated oyer bv Gastonia athletes, and after the officials refused to; r hurt go their decisions that would have made the other club a winner then began a thorough invest iga tion of every player on the She by club, including one youth that celebrated his 15th birth annl- I versary the day before leaving) for Chapel Hill, Again we say the investigation was not con sidered unsportsmanlike but the time it took place was so consid ered. As to the "hullabaloo": No such disturbance was raised here Naturally the town stuck to the boy and hir version of his aye until there was reasonable proot that he wa swrong. (And a code of morals in our opinion also in eludes loyalty). Then on learn ing that unintentionally we viol ated the standards set down, the cup. tokens, and other honors were returned, and announce nient of the fact and the regret of the school and the town ex pressed in the press by Principal C.rigg. And by our code when you find that you are wrong, even unintentionally,' and admit it with regret there is nothing else to do but keep silent. But. what puzzles Shelby that those who intend' d , > “make North Carol in;* athb ■ - clean” halted their to!*■. v . once Shelby was put out cf . e running. Surely t here t o been other spots to which ' i t vestigaticn might have ! > e , ried. One of the leaders in ;h vestigatoin admitted in com tion with us that there were oth er teams in the state, especially one, where the rules and eligibil ity regulations were openly vio lated. These teams have never been publicly mentioned, but fot Overstepping a regulation un knowingly and with no intent of violation Shelby is soundly be rated. Why, please, did the investiga tion stop at Shelby, and with this one over-age player out of the lists has North Carolina ath letics been made clean? As a Davidson man we wonder if the slur packed in the last par agraph ef the Gazette editorial could have been written by one who so ably described "The Dav idson Spirit." We thought that with a man who so described that manly characteristic that has made Davidson teams fatuous that we could have safely left our reputation as sportsmen. Mayhaps we were disillusioned, and perhaps he judged before the entire story to him was re lated. OUR IDEAS CHANGE. My, how our ideas change. But the changes are not quite as rapid as the styles in wearing apparel, bid our out look toward public matters is al ways undergoing a change. Back a few years ago, under the ad ministrations of Aycock and Bickett. we boasted of building a school house a day in North Car olina. Now the decrease hi the number of schools is about as rapid as the increase was. It does not mean that we,are going out of the school business—simply consolidating in order that the rural communities might have the same advantages that are en joyed by the city schools. The slogan is fewer schools and bet tor schools. Hero in Cleveland, the program is for three run* consolidated school buildings this year. When t he program of con solidation is completed we will not hear of any more moving to town to set (letter school advan tages and when the rural light ing systi ms are all turned on, there will !>e no more moving to town to enjoy city conveniences. With the automobile, social ad vantages are the same, with con solidated ehools the educational onp-i-f uniti< i are the same and with the rural lighting system the convenience*.- are the same. A BALANCED GROWTH. During th past two years, Shelby has experienced a remark able growth. Along with the great number of homes, there have been a few manufacturing plants but practically all of these have provided homes for their employes-. At present there are still more homes under construe f tion and there seems to be a de mand t'.s all of them.'but unless there is employ then t to keep these workmen busy when our building ntbsides, there might be a slump in values and jobs. We are not pessimistic-ever the fu ture. but know that homes and business houses alette can't make a town. A feu- more industries. irnploying skilled labor, would help balance our grow!h as not h rng else will do. NOT QI H (i A ME. To \ ; : -of Shelby—Clreater Shelby: b uk in tile ila'ss vheji the pro phets fit' pi : • 1 puns, packed our p-s•verbs, th-Tv originated a re mark “that' all is fair in war and love.” and in the years that fol low, .1 d words'were added “and in p lit it s”. But t he three words art* sometimes construed to suit t he code of el hies of those playing the pa me. Even here in Shelby we have known two poll ticians of the same faith to puti different const met ions on the ad donda to the proverb in re poli ties. In (lie editorial columns of this paper, A. P. Weathers, an an nounced candidate for mayor was Riven a boost, and it was a boost without a knock or insinuation directed against any opponent. Insinuations, cloudy criticism and misinterpretation may win political olfi, es—and we might say. have but .such a victory eventually proves anything but a harbinger of happiness. Defeat can mean more than victory when the loser so plays the Rami1 that the manner of his playing is nave admired bv men than the laurels victory might have be et owed. A ml so, \vc frankly say, the plane on which the insinua i 'ny "cplv of the Cleveland News ■ • ."ell 'nwer than we care I :<v' to rii the;- ambitions for •*. In the past ' - i ■ !'■' Mack and news columns " 1 Tortes to each e 1 > announced for 1 1 be man who now ' be ' 'cc of the people * Vico All were made n, when!ribhtes wen* de • " ' 1 1 n.ren thought clearly and fai !y of their -fellow-man with no mingling <>f political heat, nor will wo in a political mud-.dinging, despite sneeringly unjust insinuation, retract a word of the .tributes. They were deserved and to every man his dues as men play with men. - But, for the sake of a man we respect and admire, one who is not seeking a political office, wo do have a word to say. Not directly or indirectly will we permit an unjust smirk at a man that all Shelby reposes confi dence in. That man is the present mayor of Shelby, W. Dick Lack ey, highly honored numerous times by his town and his coun tv. No seeker cl" office in this sec tion has ever received more loy al support from this paper; no office holder has received more of our co-operation and confi dence A statement regarding the health of one man was a state ment regarding the health of that man only. No other was thought of. We say frankly what we have to say and have no cause' to use insidious innuendoes. Our sympathy for Sheriff i jLackey was duly expressed at I tiie breaking by death of the ti< s ! that by God and man are consid ered the world’s tenderest and upon what our real civilization is) largely based. In the present mayor’s physical affliction The) Star concurs with the commun ity and county in extending a wish for the best and « speedy j recovery for the noble and up right citizen so afflicted. That his! name for the sake of a few votes' and to incur enmity against candidate was so thoughtlessly; and wantonly handled has brought protest after pretest to this office. Hut a reply in full, would necessitate one directed from the same level and such, we ; say. win or lose, is not our game. 1 “Hit Back” “Let Loose a Broad side" come the words of advice j that almost encourage our weaker selves so to do. But why?) Besmirch reputations, mar the! merriment of contented homes,! create strife in a happy, grow-j ing little town for the sake cf a: political victory that after such a battle might prove a victory not worth the price, by far. No! Never. However: Let’s hope our next) mayor from every angle is the equal of Dick Lackey. Says Ward Lints Are Divided by Center of Court House Running North, South, East, and West ro Editor of The Star There are quite a number of citi zens of tile Town of Shelby, living within the new incorporate limits that :io not understand as to lines of the several wards and that this matter may be understood, this statement is made.
