CLOVER MILLS CO. Clover, S. C. * SPECIAL TODAY AT PRINCESS THEATRE ' ‘ * l *' - —SIIKLBY SIDELIGHTS— — R. D. — “Will the stores of Shelby close one afternoon in tlic week (luring this summer, and will Shelby have a base ball ('Ufa?'' were two questions in one asked us by a prominent busi ness mail this week. Will they? And will they? It’s up to someone else to I answer. Perhaps the Kiwanis club I will reach the half-holiday per week j query soon, and as for the baseball —enthusiasm in the diamond snort seems to be running at low ebb re cently in the “City of Spring's.'' The half holiday plan was tried last year in Shelby and apparently was suc cessful. Employees were pleased with the little vacation and no doubt the employers received better service thereby. You know it was some an cient Greek runner like Nurmi, or famous Roman gladiator like Von Hindenburg that said “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy” (ot course, not Jack Dempsey.) The serr j t intent about town seems to be for the half-holiday. Perhaps We have | talked to more employes than om I ploycrs, but don’t for a minute let it. ! circulate in your cranium that the “bosses” themselves do not like a holiday. The majority of them bate like blue blazes or an August day to lose gtme-half day's business, but when they like a holiday and a breath ing, spell as well as anyone else and are tne most enthusiastic of all over the weekly vacation when they know their rivals are also taking the af ternoon off. So, as one black cat’s kitten said to the other: “Who’ll start the ball rolling?" But, of all things, if the half holiday is decided upon, don’t make it Thursday again. That’s the day the galley slaves call “press day,” when all the minor constella tions are pressed together making The Star, and on that day there is no hope Whatsoever for one who la bors about a newspaper plant. And thinking it over Shelby wiil likely Ih> in a baseball circuit this year, but the league will be known us the “Safety Coach Line,” and | Shelby fans will journey galore down to Charlotte and Spartanburg, and up to Asheville. Which makes us think that the five leading hitters among the fans about Shelby asked that it lie announced that Johnny Hudson has not yet appeared in the Knov v He, Sally league line-up, because he sprained his ankle in an exhibition game Saturday before the league -opened. In between games commuted to and fro on the Yellow Busses Shel by fans might remember that “Casey Morris’ Highs are playing for anoth er championship—and that the state «t large’-is considering the- Shelby High as title-holders and wondering what we’ll do this year. There’s game Tuesday. If you’re inclined to believe that Shelby is not a leading center in mo tor travel listen to this: Saturday three cars were parked in front of the Confederate monument on the court Square. One bore a Florida li cense tag—from "the land of eternal sunshine;” another was from Cali fornia—^‘‘Spring-time the year-round,” and the one in the center carried a Pinehursl plate—“the world’s play ground.” There’s a reason why three cars from three of the most attrac' ive points in America should be park i d in Shelby. That reason is Western North Carolina, the peer of the lot. One thing to be gained by ex- j tension of the city limits is that now ; e-tills may be captured 'within the city limits. 4 In Clyde Hocy Shelby claims a dis tinguished, man that hold’s a world’s record—that or being the only con gressman to ever resign from the big body of lawmakers. Wo "alius” won dered how the legal lights upstairs ■ managed to tell the speaker of the.! house that “I’m goin’ home and aint j a’cowin’ back,” and since Senator Tom ! Heflin has visited Shelby we’re won dering moro’n ever at the will power of Mr. Hoey. For Mr. Heflin during the eiurge of his speech hero raid that when ho heard the Shelby man was going to resign that he personal ly went to hint and begged him to reconsider. Now, whr.t caused us to wonder is how any man could get around the pleading of that Alabaman. Honestly he could within,five minutes have the Pope of Rome and an Eng lish clergyman hugging each other. In tfcc next breath Heflin said that from the gossip he had ben hearing over North Carolina that Max Gard ner Would be "forced to be the next governor”—and at the end of the statement Max looked over at a friend, winked and whispered: “Yea, forced.” . Then Heflin added that one of best friends in congress was Yates Webb and that Ire was glad ko hear that, his former friend was now serving so Well on the Federal benfeh, and with the statement we noticed a retired bootlegger squirm. So yon see, that Alabaman must be a wonder and the best description of him that' we heard was from “Golly" McBraycr, who said: “That fellow would have made a black-face comedian that would make A1 Fields weep with Cnvy.” | If you forgot to register last week (you sure nre lucky. Now you cun tell jail three of the candidates for mayor ! that you won’t vote for them, and not hurt their feelings, i - ■Friday we saw an aged lady rest j ing on a bench on the court square I ioider the shade of the study green trees. With her ‘specs” properly ad ! justed she was scanning the columns of a newspaper and on passing we heard the remade: “It’s got so that you cr.n't believe a thing you see in these newspapers.” Walking back by we noticed the item she had been reading, and silently we agreed with her verdict. The article was about s x feet of snow somewhere, but thank Saint Patrick and his garden snakes the paper wasn’t The Star and ] lh-' snow was nowhere near here, j Was it? And it was a grand day for “Red” Newman to : tage his opening of Rack’:; Fountain. He could have sold cold hr. tbs as easily as cold drinks. The*day was so hot the court .square fountains were pasteurized. If Howell didn't sell lumber we wonder if Arrowood? . “Granny” Ratehfnrd Dies Afler Pass, ing Century Mark.

This will be a great improvement for the second speed classic in Charlotte. Score hoard improvements are also being worked out.
