WEATHERS —— President RENN DRUM __- Local Editor Entered as second class matter January 1, 1906, ut the postoflfige at '.helby, North Carolina, under tbc Act of Congress, March 3, 187SC We wish to call your attention to the fact that it is, and has been our custom to charge five cents per line for resolutions of respect, cards Of thanks and obituary notices, after one death notice has been published. This will be strictly -dhered to. FRIDAY. MAY 22, 1925. We wonder if these chain sales are links to more business? There are a lot of people who will defend the youth of today. Mostly lawyers, a contemporary remarks. Saying hat the fair this year will be better than the first fair last year is ft "mouthful” fair of ficials might be reminded Nov it seems that Glenn Young has a shooting successor in this Federal agent. Pearson, who packs a deadly automatic. The doctor that opined ’ hat cross-word puzzles have reunited ma 'V families should have added that many of the separations were also caused by cross words. It’s about time Henry Ford was entering Wall stre et. He has about cornered all the parking space on the other streets. The man who does not take chances never errors, hut as would be the lingo in baseball “he vemains forever in the minors.” There must tie something en ticing lifter pll at f-Ke Atlanta Penitentiary. Gaston Means non wants to go there. T good wavs to judge if the g) ’ of a town is substantial — n ■; ->nd loops and church' s. Ar<> you still watching Shelby grow? vneer up: iuni eiurhhi that man will eventually live to be 200 years old. and statistics say that eggs once sold for three cents per dozen. Two different ages, it might be said, split by an extract era. It appears as if Three County Corners is continuing to feature in prohibition courts, or the offi cers must have a “hankering” to stage the majority of their ar rests there. “Editor DeCamp Says Shelby Crows East.” Which is evidence aplenty that a cordial inter-city relation prevails between the neighboring towns in t wo states. We might add that Gaffney is stepping along at a progressive pace that would make us think the coming Cherokee city is in North Carolina. These Mecklenburg folks have a way of putting things over. They thrilled the South with the Spredws'* races. Now a newspa per headliner sav “The Mecklen burg Pageant is Declared Sirmvv Wonderful. Magnificent.” It’ll take a word artisl to describe the doings there ere long. Just as there is a Snird of America there is a “Spirit of the South.” Would it not have been erand to stand on the streets in Pallas. Texas, this week and hear the silver-haired Confederate vets not 1o “Turkev in tbo Straw’ and “Billy in the Low Ground.” or °f'i‘ their shoulders straighten to the immortal air “Dixie”? Secretary of State Everett «•' Vs he sees no reason why North Carolinians should ho dis couraged. Why should M> Ever cu disoonvnere us by telling up we should not be discouraged when there is not the slightest evidence that we are discouraged. Now if the word were “distrust ed.” A nossimist obont town savs that Shelbv will win no more hiirh school c row ns soon. The «f.iont'«t »nvs the world will last a hundred million years ”et. So why worrv, we have already won more than some schools will at the end of that time, and ma^be we’ll annex another one by that time. All who have reached the ago of discretion rj« not discreet. r il K UIKTUIS f LIIl 711,1,1-—. TWO “Ps.” For several runs of the moon we have been telling ourselves, and incidentally ethers, that this North Carolina of ours is a reg ular streak when it conies to pro gress and prosperity; we’ve told it so much we believe it for e’en the statistics and tax collectors say it is true. Yet we knew not the scope of it. so it seems, until Monday of this week, and we’re still trying to improve our knowledge. Uh. huh! The Char lotte Observer's mammoth Pro gress and Prosperity edition, rightlv called “momr.nental” by The Greensboro News. So mon umental it appears to publishers of weeklies and semi-weeklies that we have to curtail our fav orite serial stories thus giving our readers all the spare time possible to peruse the 256 pages of photographs, lures. boosts, ! achievenufits and aims. As a publicity issue for the State the Observer gets the rib bon. It covered the state in all forms from the chickens of (Cherokee to the bass of Bruns wick; from the creameries of I Cleveland to the apples of Ahe ghan.v and from the mills of Mecklenburg to the beauties of Buncombe—all Carolina was in the issue in artistic array. It must have been a vast under taking to tell of all the advance , ment of Carolina in recent years, iyet it was successfully—yes, even wonderfully—handled. Our only objection would be the space it took for the job. but as Tar Heels we then wonder how it w’as so subdued and minimized that 256 pages would contain it all. Congratulations to the Ob server enterprise, and to the state for the service. GAS—JAZZ—DRESS. “Sodom and Gomorrah were swept from the face of the earth by the hand of the Almighty for less offense than eroes on every day in Miami, Florida,” said a prominent traveling salesman who has just returned from a business trip to that land of flow ers, sunshine and sin. A young ster seemed to challenge the stat( ment hut anv wayward is naturally disposed to uphold his weakness. If there were no more evidence that beset this country, the! courts of justice alone would con-i vince us that thinking men andi high minded women don’t know which way to turn. Preachersj discourse on the subject, news- ■ papers write and light thinking people hold up their hands in holy horror, but what reform do their efforts accomplish ? Judge Lane who has spent 20 vears at the bar. 15 years on the bench made a diagnosis of the situation this week when he dealt out a .sentence to a man named) Griffin, charged with criminal; assault on a Charlotte school | girl. He said “ten years ago, wo-j men did not come into court.] Such as had to come as witness-) es, gave their testimony and hur-' ried away, but the times have changed and women today almost j fight for seats where there is a; scandal coming to light—yes. women of refinement and cul ture.” What applies to Mecklenburg, anplies equally as well to Clev eland. You recall the Philbeck-j Frances case that drew a packed court room, many of whom were women of refinement and school, girls who played “hnokie” to! hear of immoral relations be-; tween a married man and a mar ried woman. Commenting on the Griffin case. Junge Lane said: “This trial just closing involves ail three of the greatest evil \ in my opin ion of our civilization—the automo manner of dressing. “No curse that ever cam'' to man kind so lends itself to crime and to the escape therefrom as does the au tomobile. For every blessing the au tomobile brings, I verily believe, it • rings 10 curses to mankind. “If I was asked tonight to do some thing that would remove another ter i iblc menace, and had the power, 1 would by one stroke reform women’s dress, and restore style and mode that look more to modesty among the fe male sex, I believe that would be the greatest service to humanity that I could render. “There was a time when there was a form of dance that appeared to bo modest and refined. I haven’t seen one of the modern dances exceDt in pass ing hotel ball rooms. What I have seen leads me to believe that the modern dance is almost a fatal menace. The danee is the most alarming symptom of our times, I think. A woman’s club leader justifies men in seeking divorce from "delicatessen wives.” Wives of this type need not be urorized if the wurst overtakes them. — Norfolk Virginian-Pilot. I i J. C.
