FRIDAY, SKI T. 25. 1925.
America’s biggest extrav
gaftce these days is “court costs”
It may rain, but next week
will he Cleveland county’s be t
fair week.
*,ft'here there is a will there
is U will.” And Will Lovelace la I .
week forced his way into the
Cleveland county jail.
Now if the convict camp was
still down at Flat Rock we would
»*$ that tub of beer was for the
mHiions of mosquitoes to drink.,
"Prince of Wales Has Nanv .
Eicape,” reads a headline. We
suppose he had his trousers legs
widened some and couldn’t find
his feet.
The weather man says Fall is
here, but after his nrophes vine
of the summer we’ll wait until
Christmas before asking his
opinion!
It’ll take a big portion of the
fair grounds to house all the
dogs at the kennel show if
there’s a dog on hand for every
prize offered.
*The vanishing horse is to be
permitted one more bit of hey
day‘before giving a wav altogeth
er to the flivver. Shelby has
formed a riding chib.
North Carolina merchants
should not be criticised for going
outx>f the state to buy goods
when the prices are lower than
in.this state. The opinien being
b$s$d on the fact that the man
ager of the “Madc-ln-Carolinas"
etpbsition got his printing a lit
tie cheaper in Michigan.
Perhaps Max Gardner is right
about his declaration that bo\
should go off to college wPh on
ly a little money. Thevil get
along well enough under sta b
circumstances, but better N
they’re good football p’ayere.
“The other night in New V ’
a lovelorn swain had a ile >
his sweetie. He remained ' o t

home. The suggest ion Ml
then she handed him hi-, b
and he did not go. Fin.-d’v t tie
desperate girl had to cell a cep,
who drug the voting man out b\
the nape of his neck. That fel
low’ must have been from Tai
heelia. considering his sticking
qualities.
HE WHO TALKS
’One would thmk that Ex-Gov
crnor Cameron Morrison was gor
ing'to build the northern ex
tension of the Piedmont o!ec
trift railway from the talk 1 •
has had about the road. Mr.
Morrison has no officii.! cornier
tifft with the interbuiban, yet
he has announced that the ex
tension would be made if th >
citiaons in the towns along the
proposed route would show
enough interest. We hope the
roa3 will be built but no official
lufs'given the least bit of en
couragement. The talking has
bdfeO left entirely to Mr. Mm
risen who always enjoys talk
ing. If what he has promised is
backed bv the action on the
part of Mr. Duke it wrH reveal
that Mr. Morrison is very close
to the tobacco and electric power
interests in North Carolina.
WORKING THROUGH COL
" * LEGE
A group of university stu
dents were told last week by
Max Gardner that it is a great
blessing for a boy to have to
work his way through college.
And the statement is borne out
by facts instead of just being an
appealing thought to the pai
eifts back home.
It’s a proverb of experience,
that men enjoy more the things
jo life that havedo be struggled
for. Knowing the cost one :s
payrv likely to see that full value
is received. That's the best reas
on for a self-earned college edu
cation. Then in the pitfalls and
financial troubles of the business
i world it is good to have behind
some practical experience if*
I close management and “making
! ends meet", and the boy working
has way through college has that
'experience added to his diploma
when he graduates—-in a way it
is • qua! to the diploma.
The self-help students, who
are having a struggle to get by
arid almost feel that it’s hardly
wortji the effort, should paste
up ever their desk the following
from Gardner's statement:
• 'I lie (lorument; in my |msse.-sion in
whirl!'f have am t pt ide are two notes
rain ■(•Ill'll by the 1 niv« ndtv (if North
Car.dime \V' is a student lore I had
to borrow from the t '•.iverrity to hcip
defray part of my < xpenses .and one i I
the fii a tliint- I did after getting on
my feet in a financial way was to can
cel these nptc . This institution has
alwav- been ic friend "f the poor hoy.
It i- a dt mocratic institution and tre re
i,. no place in it for snobs. Reasonable;
imi\i a ld» -sing to any lioy whe
tr- through e.’ilege. Look-about yeti]
e!„| \ .a will find that practically ait!
the big men in the State were pom j
i>oy - when they Went through college.
I thank (i d flint 1 was a poor hoy]
while here.”
THESE MICHIGAN CARDS
Last work there wont an item
out of ShelBy tolling of Caroiinas
exposition cards with the signu
ture of a Michigan printing firm.
• Officials of the exposition in,
defending the printing in Michi-i
gan of cards boosting a “Made-1
in-Carolinas” show referred to j
‘ho item as a “news story”—get
the quotation marks—saying;
: that it was making a mountain ,;
of a molehill. It was such poor!
nows according to Mr. Patton
that ho belittled the value by
placing “quotes” around the two
words. However, newspaper edi
tors over the state must have
thought differently. It was
enough nows to seven or eight
papers that they commented on
the contents .editorially. Mr.
Patton further referred to the
Vinter of the item as a “kind
friend”—again using the (imi
tations—apparently trving to
| saddle off the aftermath on the
correspondent. Mavhans he was
a ‘kind friend’,, hut from the
notice that has been taken of
the item over the state we
would’nt sav that it was such a
dead story that quotation marks
need he used in mentioning it.
; The Salisbury Post thought it
this important;
•‘The Mado-In-Cnrolina Expose
lion is doing some very excellent ad
vertising with Made-in-Michigan
cards. We suppo e that in Charlotte,

miOlWHT AM) PRICES
The draught which has forced
the curtailment of cotton mills,
in the power district of the
South may prove a blessing t >j
'the mill men in that prices uill
he' boosted because of less pro
duct ion. Less goods are being
made and the stocks on hand
arc being absorbed faster than
new goods can be made, and as
a result, the Southern combed
yarn spinners are said to oc
cupy the strongest position since
the boom period of 1910. Partly
this is due to the result of vol
untary action among the spin
ners who declared last summer
that they would prevent accu
mulation of unsold stocks. The
doth manufacturers must be
somewhat in the seme position.
Certainly their stocks are low
er in Cleveland countv. We are
jtold that the bulk of the reduc
tion in the total taxable proper
ly in Cleveland county was
found to be among the cotton
I mills which had sold off their
big stocks at listing time this
| year. With the textile industry
; centering in the south, the mill
men seem to be gaining more
power in price-making and vee
hope the day will soon come
when they will net he at the
mercy of the brokers. 'the
drought which forced curtail
ment is bettering the price of
mill products and will in all prob
ability boost the price of cotton.
Indications are that the crop
will be much shorter than fore
cast by the government and as
the picking season progresses
and the shortage is revealed the
i
price gradually climbs higher.
It is true that there are sec
tions where the cotton crop i.u.
abnormally good. In the eastern
part of the belt North Georgia,
and Piedmont Carolines are near
the same condition Georgia \va
when the boll weevil was at its
worst. Misfortune has come our
way but we should not give up
in despair. When other sections
of the licit suffered, we profited
in the price of cotton at their
expense. Now our time has come
but with no such severity as :t
was in Georgia and South Car
olina or Texas in the boll weevil
years.
Judge Is Enraged
By Swimming Pool
Spartanburg, S. C.,—A scathing
denunciation of modern swimming
pools os breeding places of vice and
immodesty and as dangerous factors
in the destruction of civilization’s
very foundation, was issued by Judge
C. J. Ramage, presiding over a spe
cial term of sessions court, in urg
ing the Spartanburg grand jury to
throw some restraint about these
•'places of vice.”
Judge Ramage declared that be is
not surprised that God has visited a
calamity upon the country when
public swimming pools are permitted
to operate and to bring disgrace upon
the communities in which they flour
ish.
Charges Immorality.
Married men tire intimate vvitn
young girls, and married women dis
play marked preference for the so
ciety of boys and young unmarried
men at these resorts, the judge d •
elurcM jn denouncing public swim
ming places.
Judge Ramage, who is froth Sa
luda,1 8. stated that there ire no
public swimming places in hi; coun
ty, but that residents of tins section
of the state ride «0 miltin order to
visit one of the resort' which flourr
ish in to her sections. These people go
to swimming pools for other reasons
than to take a dip, declared the judge.
“The man who introduced a bill in
the state legislature to abed'. h j ublic
swimming pools," said Judge Rnfnage,
“was working along the right lines.”

-TESTIMONIAL
For many year.- I have used Texaco Gasoline, Oils
and Kerosene. They have always given entire satisfac
tion and I do not experiment with others. I get g >xl
mileage from the gas and the oil takes good care of my
motor.
I have a 50-gallon drum for my gas and I buy oil in
five-gallon lots. When it is running low I call
AREY BROS. OIL COMPANY
and have my vessels refilled. If I hint running low on a
long trip I look for the Green T Sign, which means
TEXACO
and drive in. I am a satisfied customer.
