FEEDING GRETNA GREEN The marrying- magistrates and parsons of border counties in North Carolina are justly entitl ed to a grouch against the state legislature that boosted the price of marriage license to $f> i with the additional fees lor med ical examination. The revenue brought in by the increased price of marriage license may make up for those who are married in other states, but it is doubtful. Lest some might think from the above paragraph that The Star is criticising the required medical examination, it might be added that in many instances the required examinaton is proving only a formality. However, the law requiring the examination is a good one and one of the best moves for the welfare of the state that has passed through the legislative grind in many years. But it should be strictly enforced—at it goes now, ac cording to our opinion, it is noth ing more than a formality that costs the prospective groom one, two, or three dollars additional, according to the charges of the examining physician. It may be that there are no teeth in the requirements of the examination, and it is unfair to place the blame upon examining physicians. Nevertheless, from our observation, the required ex amination has been so far en tirely worthless to the future health and welfare of the state. Recently a marrying magistrate was explaining to the writer the big decrease in marriages in this county brought on by $5-license and the nearness of the South Carolina border. He ended his narrative by describing a couple of near half-wits married bv him a few days prior. From his de scription that marriage was crime against marriage laws. Useless, tho, was his observa tion for they presented a did' signed medical certificate signed bv a physician r.ssurinv tKa» they were both mentally m • physically fit, or whatever i is required by the blanks tluu formality must fill out. Those who boosted the lav should investigate its enforer ment before they bo'st* further. It will be a far better day fur North Carolina when the price of marriage license drops back to $1 and the $4 passed to the ex amination expense to see that it is followed to the letter. Other wise numerous state institutions will continue to be occupied. STANFORD’S DEPARTURE Not only the congregation ot Central Methodist church but the people generally of Shelby , regret to give up Rev. A. L. Stanford who has been sent to a Charlotte oharge by the confer ence which met last week in Statesville. Brother Stanford was universally loved in Shelby and we had hooed that he might v serve out his four years on tins charge, but he is such a fine builder that he is used in the Western North Carolina Confei ence as a “building pastor.” Be has built Shelby, now he gees to Charlotte where his talent is more needed. In thm1 years he has encouraged his Shelby con gregation to build a new parson age and a new church, forming -one of the finest plants in the state of North Carolina. Method ism is to be congratulated on having a man with such a knack at building but his gift is rot only in building material things but in building un the spiritual interest and life of a church, and Central church has never had such a fine spiritual atmosphere as prevails now after three vears ministry by our good friend Mr. Stanford. _ Those who believe the Lord had anything to do with the Cole case must class Brocks and Pou fig angels. SAUNDERS COMICS HACK. As a boy we looked ahead to many things higher than the edi torship of a small paper. Who in his boyhood did not vision him self in the grown-up role of an engineer, policeman or president. But after the visionary age it seems as if environment plays about as much on the imagina tion as the gloss of the position. W. O. Saunders, of Elizabeth jCitv. has returned to the state 'and taken up his duties as editor |of the Elizabeth City Independ ent—and “purfy independent” at that—after serving for a short period as associate editor of Col liers. His last assignment might be rated as one of the peaks of prominence for a writer, yet Saunders returned and gladly it seems. Was the call of North Carolina too much for the the lure of the great closed spaces? Or is a Tar Heel a Tar Heel only in North Carolina? Now that Saunders is back It. R. Clark will have a companion in saying what he thinks. THE STATE’S IMPROVE MENT. North Carolinians of recent years, at least some of their, have a habit of telling outsiders of the state’s remarkable pro gress and crediting the awaken ing to better roads and schools. In boosting the educational pro gress some of the boosters may plunge into a snag. Much pro gress has been made, wonderful advancement, but there seems to be room for improvement yet. The old-timer who balks at improved school measures by tell ing how much better present-day schools are than those of his day should peruse tv." J’-”'"*-ing “Did You Know ?’’ of the North Caro lina Teacher: That North Carolina had a shorter school term than either South Carolina, Tennessee, or Virginia? That the nation as a whole spends about twice as much mo ney on each child as North Car olina spends? That some counties have to pay 400 ney cent more than oth ers for the same school privi leges ? That we still have 1,595 poor ly equipped one teacher schools in the state? t That nearly half a million North Carolina boys and gills get less than seven months schooling everv year? That these boys and girls, when grown, will have to com pete with men and women from other states which provide muen better school advantages? That about 15,000 white teach era attended summer schools this year? That for the first time in the history of the profession a ina ioritv of the teachers in North Carolina last year held better than an Elementary A certifi cate?

VYivt’5’. i he u«e of having our lew r'.uuema study law any more ? Rufe Clark, Robert; Quillen and W. 0. Saunders may not bo able to thrill audiences orally, but they sure can insert the tremble on a typewriter. Ben Dixon McNeill after hear ing a speaking program of IS speeches at Chapel Hill is strong for an eight-hour law for audi ences. Ben Dixon, we believe, would enjoy a speaking program on which Robert Quillen is billed. i Our appreciation goes out to Query and the Atkins, of the Gastonia Gazette, for the comp limentary remarks about the tri weekly Star. The best compensa tion we know for their praise would be to say that it seems as | if we were following in the foot steps of the Gazette, Faded is the fiction of a prom inent newspaper writer several years back. North Carolina’s Mrs. Vanderbilt has married a Rhode Island senator. At least she’s more modern than her daughter—-She married a New Englander, while Cecil is a pro duct of old England. Charity and Children speaks of the Statesville Ledger’s un complimentary report of the Methodist conference. Tn the next paragraph Mr. Johnson says Thomasville Baptists were put in the wrong light by a re porter of the public press. May haps ther» might have been some error in the Statesville re port since there have been sev eral versions of the muchh talk ed article. I FIRST NEW MODEL FORD SOLD HERE Cleopus Hamrick, well known farmer of Cleveland was the first to purchase a new model Ford from Chas. L. Eskridge. When the new models were announced there was keen interest in what changes had been made. While Mr. Hamrick who is shown on the back side of the car in the picture was the first to get a delivery, Knox Hardin was the first salesman io sell one lor Mr. Eskridge. Since then they have been going as fast as the Ford plants could make deliveries. FOR YOU A MONEY MAKING PROPOSITION! WOULD YOU I EF.D A CAR LOAD OF SHORT HORN STEER CATTLE FOR 30 DAYS FOR — $1,000?
