They're so plentiful now—and popular—that no one refers to t^em any more as “4dears.” Next we’d like to know iust who Cameron Morrison considers ''disaster croakers” ? In the days of the old West it took a dare-devil rider to lasso the long horns, but nowadays a flivver pilot can throw the bull. Ike, of Casar. wants to know from Dayton if Bryan had a glass of grape juice as often as Darrow lost his temper. It may be the sensible thing to to buy the winter supply »f oral now. but who has 'the pep this weather to give the ice man an order for coal ? ^Vender how Editor Galt Brax ton, of the Kinston Free Press, would define the word “normal aov” as it applies to North Car olina? ’ Eventually there’ll be no such t$fjng as news.

Y’know Floyd Qatlins came just before Dev ton. and as we recall “bananas" and the Teapot Dome were other pr< cedents. f We’re wondering now about the eyes of Editor A. C ,,IH' CMtt, of Stanley News-Hmu'V Who anent the talked of hand painted pictures on the k^es that have been bared bv rolled Hose says: “The presence of snanny hand-painted pirtfcreb would have a tendency to break the monotony of just a plain bate knee.” Whew: Monotony! • The Norfolk Virginian Pilot tays: “If Borirlum could live to the age of Mcthusaleh and have the unstinted support of .las. B. Duke, he might see the Chimney itoirk ioli thromrh. Without these essentials we fear the worst." Ifche same brand of Virginia on tjjjpism hailed North Carolina's highway system before it be dafne a reality. THROUGH SHELBY? if Duke extends the P. Si N. nhrtric railway to Snartanhurg. j Wjll it be bv way of Shelby? ' t)o the citizens of Shelby real- j ire just what it would mean to; “T$m City of Springs”? Kings Mountain. Blacksburg. Spartanburg. Gaffney and other} cities and towns along proposed routes of the extension are hold ing mass meetings, promising support, and guaranteeing a cer tain amount of freight business.) ShHbv is doing nothing Duke may be a philanthropist.: but he was first a business man —and is yet r YORK WEDDINGS A press dispatch informs the state that North Carolinians ate-spending $8,000 annualiv on York weddings: that Tar Heels refuse to pav the $5 license fee plus the charges for the phvsic iaT examination. The nature of t&e dispatch is to the effect that the increase in price of marriage license and the required physie jal examination are the reasons for ho many Tar Heel marriages in York. With the innuendo we wish to disagree. Our belief is that there are no more North Carolina folks being married in South Carolina since the passing of the eugenic law than before. Perhaps the number has increas ed, but the population of the state has also increased and there are more marriages tak ing place. It was a popular hab it of North Carolinian* to jour ney over into the neighboring state to get married in the days when the trips were made In horse-drawn vehicles. Still we’ve heard of no one get ting unmarried in South Caro line by a $5 license, eugenic law, or any other plan. PLAN FOR FEEDS If the rain Friday afternoon was general in the county, farm ers should plant something for hay and feed crops. The spring and summer have been so dry that we are about to face anoth er shortage rf forage and the consequent importation of a half million dollars worth of western hay, corn and oats such as we had last year. It is very natural to suppose that there will be more rain from now on and that any feed crop will have the eight season to grow. The late planting is highly important to the finan eial well-being of Cleveland coun ty and the matter cannot be stressed too much. Our boasted cotton crop becomes a sham when we have to feed ourselves and our beasts frem Western fields. TWO MORE MILLS. Two'more textile plants start ed the first cotton through the process of manufacture in Shel by within the past ten days. This gives two more whistles to blow pnd sound the note of progress and employment. Recently an anonymous letter was circulated in Shelby protesting against the blowing of whistles in the early morning. It disturbed the peace-s ful slumber of the author and he evidently thought industrial plants would suspend to conven ience him. Such a man is to be pitied. Industrial plants that give employment and livelihood to men and women are the life blood of any community and in stead of whistles-ceasing to blow, we hone ot her pUnts will go up and add to the early morning symphony. The Ora and the Shelby Cloth mills which have just started will employ around 300 workers, at that. These plants manufac ture specialties which require more skill than the average mill. This material shows the drift of Southern cotton mills from yarn and plain white cloths to mater ials r f a higher duality which are *"0"e in demand. Ging ham-* npd hose are being •—i dress ma tr ials r.r.d silk hose. * ___ no OWN YOURS? P f i '' T>a ism of the Uni* vr ritv i'.ici’l!y made the alarm ing st'lement a few days ago that there are a million and a ouniter citizens of North Caro lina who ‘do not own a single inch of ground they cultivate or a shingle of the roof over their heads." We have no successful way of controverting Dr. Bran son who probably has statistics to prove his assertion. But tak ing the whole population of the state, this seems to be a very large proportion. Such a propor tion certainly dees not obtain in Cleveland county, we are happy I to state. Building and loans and farm associations have eneour 1 <md home ownership in Cleve land and the number of town land farm tenants is gradually dl | minishing. Nothin}? docs more to make a people happy and contented and to encourage patriotism and loy alty than home ownership. The majority have the .home-owning instinct and strive to its attain ment. but there are others in whom this ideal is not grounded who prefer to squander their money on the pleasures of life rather than stint and save for home. We hope Mr. Branson.® suggestion that home ownership be encouraged will he agitated in press and public forum until North Carolina will to pthe list as a home-owning state. High At $25. (From Statesville Daily.) The cost of the defense in the Scopes ease is estimated at $25,000*. If actual worth is considered the cost would be high at $25. But seeing that | this paper isn’t contributing it is not I concerned about the cost except to re mark that somebody got something out of it and whoever pays the bill lost out on the investment. Nowadays it’s palms across the sea. —Arkansas Gazette.1 FUVVER SAM , Motorist: That man I ran over this morning is the meanest man in town.” Friend: Why? Motorists: “He puts tacks in his pock | ets when he crosses the street. An optimist is a person who buys a Ford and then joins an automobile 1 club. Kven the most cool, self-possessed expert Ford driver says I’aul Webb is always getting rattled. Further Proof. "My love is like the red, red rose— Of this I’ve often sworn; And yesterday, in her coupe, I found she had a thorn. The two sure things, death and taxes, add detours. You may have the right of way but the doggone fool doesn't know it. Here lies the body of Guesso Rakes; He speeded up, then used the brakes. Speeding to the Hereafter. Just buy yourself a flivver, Chase, up and <Ttfwn the street, And run plumb into anything That you may chance to meet. Don’t blow your horn at crossings, Ignore the traffic cop; If a street car is approaching, Speed up—but never stop. At night drive to a roadhouse, Fill upon moonshine booze, And when you are returning. Take whatever side you choose. Never use your brakes at all— They’re of no earthly need To the average motorist (nowadays) Who is simply out for speed. Just follow these instructions Which I have outlined here above You’ll soon gaze on the angels And the pedestrians you shove. “Well”, as the heiress said when she slipped out of the back door and eloped with the hired man, “I have something to chauffeur my money anyway.” The high cost of flivvering is what keeps most people just a few jumps ahead of the poorhouse. Charlotte:—What kind of a car has Tom ? Martyne:—A pray-as-you-enter! It is proposed to establish junk shops near railroad crossings—due to supply of materials at these points. A knock on the automobile is worth two in it. Youth: How fast will she go? Age: How ure the brakes? The chief difference between buying a new ear and a used one is that when a new one goes on the bum, the owner hasn't the satisefaction of blaming someone else. Author On Seeing Book in Print Dies in Content i Waltham, Mass.—A reward that all men are not spared to receive—to | have an aim in life and to actually see! the fruits of years of labor before j death—came to Alexander Starbuck, - dean of Greater Boston newspaper-! men, who passed away at the age of 84 years. News stories of the death of the editor did not tell of the drama en acted at the bedside a few short hours' before the end. Fifty years ago Alexander Star buck wrote the first paragraph of aj history of Nantucket Island, the place1 of his birth. Chapter after chapter was added throughout the long years that follow ed. Innermost recesses of early Amor iean history were delved. The history was his supreme object in life. Re cently he retired from active news paper work to devote himself to con cluding the work. This year he wrote “finis” nt the end of 700 pages. The hook was sent to the printer. Then Starbuck was tak- ( cn sick. He rapidly became worse. In a voice just audible he gave Iris' last wish—to see his book before be died. Messengers were rushed to the1 printer. The work of typesetting and printing was speeded. Ag courier hur-i lied to the Starbuck death chamber! with the first copy, still wet with ink. The aged editor rose in his bed. lie glanced over the pages. Then he smil ed, sank hack on his pillow—and death came. The supreme penalty is called 'ff when the car carries no headlights and ! the driver is all lit up.—Syracuse Her ald. Our guess is that aviation will nev er be -thoroughly successful until the flviatoti' clan park in the sky.—Dallas News. CAN’T FIND ANY FAULT WITH HIS NEW CHEVROtET The following letter is from an old North Carolina boy who is now living in Lakeland, Florida, to whom we sold a Chevrolet Model K sometime ago: Ward H. Arey, Shelby, N. C. Dear Arey:— I guess you think I had forgotten to write you about my trip home. 1 had a nice trip and had no trouble whatever with my car with the exception of a little tire trouble. I like the car fine, really I was surprised, as while I had never owned a Chevrolet I had been rrtoreof less prejudic ed against them but I cannot say a word against the performance of mine. As above stated I was surprised at its wonderful operation and it is very light on gas and oil. I went 800 miles before changing oil and then had practically a a full gauge. I have never run a car that was as economical and the pulling power as great. I came back through Way cross. Jacksonville and St. Augustine and found awfully bad roads going through places where cars stuck in the mud without the least bit of trouble. I am satisfied with mine. *+ *+* Hi .fC$ If anyone comes down here from there tell them where I am and to come to see me but for Heaven’s sake tell them to come through Columbia, Augusta, Macon, Val dosta, Lake City and Ocala thence to the best town in Florida—Lakeland.
