own —SlII'l BY SIDELIGHTS— liy Renn Drum. America is a great country, ye-, Rut if Chris Columbus had rot wan dered over here, or as it were misread a detour sign and came here by mis take, where would America be t day It’s not the fact that a tiling is that brakes if go. Instead, it’s how many people know the thing is good. Get us ? Well, Shelby backed by the Clev i land Springs of the future is a fine ter ter for investment. Thousand-' <f hard-earned simoleons should be ev < y.-duy figures in realty trading y,hen the resort boom really gets up stv am in Western Carolina. And a head of steam is already thing. Carolina will soon be coining into its own. And as was said one paragraph back, Shelby should double during the course of the next few years if. the business of doubling is taken up in a business-like way. But will it? Many people ask that question: Y. hat will , this real estate boom a.eaVi to Shelby? Will it really bit Shelby ? Answer that, if you please! According to the? pro v r.i run rf things the colyum's answer to the double-',;.; "died question would be: : tiiin”! No! Sounds ;or.iewh;it cruel after the way we have been boost ing real estate • but .there’:; a reason. If Coumbus had s ot heard about the beauties of the rnknown land to the west and around 1 e order of the setting sun, lots in i f'.rida would never have been worth over- ten cents each, much less in h'hclby. The Indians would s till be the s sle owners of this America, known the home of the dry and reformed, and ail the Indians would care about sub-divisions would be a place to hunt. Shelby has enough natural advan tages that the coming boom should mean much to the town, and here abouts are wonderful pr; spects fer mi king it strike locally. But— Shelby folks have homes of their own. They re not going out to C'.eve 11. <i nd surrounding hills and build rummer residences. ! If don't wfeo 'will? There's jivOr A THING being done to bring I11*’ °r even attract., outsiders. ! s-dT>at true, and it’s not half as Pa<l now as it will be next spring and jMiinnicr when the Florida tans begin i li,>cking to the towns and sections I nbout us with never a glance at She! | by and her advantages. I "hot you start on a trip to New ! ',,rk a"<) a friend tells you in advance I which i* the best show to see, then you’re going to that show, not the tirst one you stumble upon. The sa me , thing applies to Shelby. They’re j (meaning thousands) are coming to (Western Carolina in droves next sum. aur from I'iorkla, the North and elsewhere, and they’re coming to the ,’owns and resort they have heard about and seen advertised. No one can blame them if they do rot Stop in Shelby. If you were going to Atlantic City for your vaca i ;i°t’ you wouldn’t likely stop at some ft sort nearby that you bad never i'eaid of, would you? __ ! The- blame lies right here in Shell y. -It s as easy seen as the un; ightly u< •,oui- sign on the main business street. All of which, meaning the rambling paragraphs to the rear, is to call at tention to the 1 act that February !5, mxt month, the. Charlotte Observer will carry the . tory of; Carolina’s op portunities into Florida. Dozens of towns and resort centers in this sec tion will boost their advantage- in that edition. Put among the towns and center 1 listed so far docs not appear the name of Shelby. Some of you who roa■ i this would argue all day with an outsider before admitting the opport une tie.; in hi? t-’.v,. were better than those offered here. The hl.ivid’ans and other•. will hear about the other town's ndrur. t'geo t,;s wonders of their re sorts. Shelby and Cleveland Springs ■’.ill be talked about just as much as. the prime minister and war secreteiy < f Cxeeho-Slavakia—they’re all un known away front home. Hereabout? Shelby citizens meet each other on the street and ask: "■Baught a Cleveland lot, yet?" and let it go.- at that. They're expecting fS-s-h it's a secrett to rarp up summer. But Vvhc’n heck : re' they gonna mop up? It's plain saying, this, but do you rupose the other towns who are hold ing out an invitation to Florida will add a line to their advertising ar.d say: "Now if you're looking for a real place to spend the summer, the f ntire year in iact. try Fhcdly and ' Cleveland Springs,'' i es. they'll <lo that just like this c-.lyurn will pay a bigger income lax jE'is fall than Henry Ford.' Anything is applesauce if not ad vertised. Draw your own conclusions. i l nti! there’s more leisure for add ling unto this the colyum refers the i matter to the Kiwanis club, an or anization having the motto: ‘‘We Build.” There was an old saying, yes, that a goodly built mouse trap would tit tract the crowds, or something to Jthat effect. You know how it is. Per haps we have the mousetrap here, but the other fellow with an inferior Iran ay get ihe mice with his trap prop erly advertised. Ho we ll park around and sleep over another winter and spring and by on-" other year or so we’ll be spending our vacation with the crowds at a nearby town that has- been properly adver tised. (’has. Iloey—y’know him. He does rot know the sell newspapers—sells automobiles and does not have any license to be justice of eace still ho mars ies people. Every man working for the Hoo.v Motor company of which (’has. is high mogul and with his pipe the board of directors, has been married since en tering the employ of that firm. There i something about working for Hoev that just makes- a girl stick out the ring-finger for the diamond. Think it over. There’s Ten 0« borne, Carlos, Self, Tracy McGinnis and Paul Turner. All married since they became a part of the super-six * bi'vvrooms. The dusky maidens also f.l! for that mysterious lure of the lioev place. Geo. Hue hie McDowell end Sam Wilson, colored assistants in the hop, have also taken unto them • 1 • c.< a i nidi better 50 per cent. We’ll have to write a letter, we sup pose, to some of these love exerts who conduct newspaper columns oh romance, and have their, find out v.ilat the attraction is. . Little Dog Burned in Williams House Fire (Special to The Star.) Kings Mountain, R-4 , Jan. 18.—Mr Charlie Pryor had the misfortune to vet his head and face painfully bruis !;! on last Friday He was helping to move a well digging outfit from one house to another when it caught on a free and was thrown from the wagon r,rrying him with it.
