The trading fever that has in fested Shelby for sohne time seems to have wandered into the blood of the Stanleys at Fall ston. See the cold drink stands up and down the Shelby streets op erated by small 1 «>ys7 From such as these grow our mer chant princes. *————— There’s one thing certain when Henry Ford goes to mak ing airplanes there won’t be any boats advertised without start ers. Along about now the brilliant graduate is learning that the world isn't’ such a hot-shot af ter all, hut a cold business prop osition. v There’s no reason for t he men getting so blue because the word "obey” is beir\g ruled out of the ! cpremony, for a court has ruled j that whatever a wife has saved belongs to her husband, e’en be *; there a split-up. The hardy guy who used to! curl up the corner of his mouth and declare that he was from "Chi” must've been right. Five .Chicago policemen have been *" Ttfurdered in daylight within two weeks. - Now isn’t it a pity that the noble old Spaniard, l’onee De Leon, did not live in 1925. He might not have located his foun * 1 tain of youth, but he would have found that which brings joy to the hurhan*—boom and gold.

Cracker we’ll say that the crowd attending the Moiling Springs «. • trial that was nol prosseil Wed ncsclay equalled his estimate of Josiah William Bailey’s aud ience;” "Over 3,000 attend 15 Bap tist Sunday Schools of County.” Mayhaps that’s one reason why Cleveland is considered an out standing church county. Such an attendance during the hot sum mer months is unusual and worthy of note. TWO OF I S. In the Anderson Mail recently Gee McGee- rerates a story as press agents would say with a moral. McGee’s relation is one of these "Between-you-and-mo” affairs and wanders not from the point as it goes: * Mr. Blank owned a house in An deraon in 1920. He owed only $2,000 on it. He was offered $5,500 for it in the fall of 1920, but did not sell it, tout instead—he Rave a second mort gage on it for $1,240. “Mr. Blank also was the husband and daddy of a nice family, and like all families, they wanted to ride, so he bought a pretty blue, six-cylindei tar, and they rode. “Mr. Blank is a hard worker, and an honest man, but he had his hands full when he found himself burdened with an automobile and one wife and five children and two mortgages.-He tried to win, but he failed "He paid his 1922 taxes without much trouble, but he needed a new car, and as a new car was necessary lie bought it und gave the old ear . •• • ?,<• also gave a rn«M|-••<({<• • ' ' h* • < w car.

S. K. Cjdney, a native of Shel by now living in Muskogee, Oklahoma, sends The Star clip ping.- from papers in his town which discuss a very five ques tion, Prof. Dyer of Vanderbilt L'niv< rsity speaking before the Rotary Club of that city declar ed that capital is drifting to the states where it has freedom to operate, just as the individual does. It leaves those place- where it is restricted and harassed by legislation and public acclaim and seeks those sections where it is free from such emharass ment.s. Hays the Times-Democrat of Muskogee, Okla.: ‘That is the reason North Carolina has in t lie past til toon years I income the foremost sec tion in the United Spates for improvement and development. It has welcomed capital. It has recognized its possibilities, its requirements and its desires. North Carolina does not send to itj legislature men who listen to the cry of the dom igogue. It docs riot pass laws to choke the industries that are building the state. And because of that, North Carolina is regarded to day as one of the foremost stat es in the union in its school sys tem, its road system its farming development and its increasing industries. “Florida is another state that is h< nefitting in the same way though from a different angle. Florida is seeking and securing capital to develop its resources and make its properties valuable by a system of laws that makes the . t d< attractive to men of • . *.C . !’ I afs an inheritance ta.' am. a s'.'i * income tax.

Next to Florida, North Caro lina is the most lenient state in the matter of taxing wealth and these two states are the most prosperous in the country as a result. North Carolina has in heritance and income* taxes, but If sufficient rdvenue could be raised otherwise consideration should be given to the Florida methods of attracting and hold ing more wealth. Now that judgegships arc be ing considered it is timely to note that in Germany the judges are allowed to sleep when bored. Now that they say Max Gard ner's popularity is being tested we’re inclined to wonder how it would test out with Gam Morri son’s temper. There are very few county fairs that are compelled to en large their conveniences the sec ond year and those who talk of “hard times" in the offing should note that fair officials expect not less than 75,000 folks at Cleveland’s second fair this fall. Negro Didn’t Want To Fight In War Charlotte News. A reverberation from the war days when every, newspaper was replete witli letters of human interest bear ing on the world-embracing incident of conflict comes from a letter writ ten by a Georgia negro, intended for the perusal of Ftcsident Wilson and preserved by D.
