Yep, “See Shelby Spread" - since the candidate? arc strut ting. it’s a problem that fact1-. ;t Shelby boy these days: lie don’t know which to enter, real csiat > cr polities. One thing the “flu * has or, the Florida fever; the bock home doctors at least get part of the rake-off when it’s the “flu.” {’'stead of saying “like ;t sni v ball in Hades” Ike Of t'asar has a new way of describing things that disappear ouickly: “Like a French Cabinet." It is noticed tint H. It. H , the Prince of Wales, had an ear oner pticn. Must have landed ot- • where for once than on his e lsr-bcne. It is noticed that a wife stole h«r husband's micmoy and then eloped. She therely got things backwards and trot into the n vv ' papers. Uusually they elopeand then get the coin--by alimony. Old B *n Franklin didn’t hnvo ;* radio or he would never la ve had anything to «>\ about his “early to bed” and ”e:al\ tit rise” wisdom crop. tn childhood Ye Puvc.graplvr had ambitions of being a police man with shiny buttons on his coat—hut not. nrav a jrolieem a in Charlotte nowadays. It seems as it Khellv. North Carolina, is receiving almost as publicity from the Ross-T>'el]ii? ft; r affair as Shelby. Montana, from the I )em ps a v-(5 ibl ton ’ fight—minus the financial fiasco. N''"’ i’ e’1 i ’»'» <■■" U -. I *■ jrj Cleveland count - .••■•••emee a platform that will do srev'e 1 ■f’1 -■ public good perh. p -. ih r c primary after all in,"" -mmi something. That is if th candidate a'mpivr th * • ers really lays the planks of ids platform. Judge James Webb’s elan of taking an auto drive iwmit away from him for driving drunk is a good one. despite ad verse criticism. The Shelby jurist apparently looks at it, this v ay: If a fellow is going to en danger his own future by drink ing bad liquor it's a good idea to euaraptine him and keep death from spreading by speeding autos, The goose ihat lays tile golden' egg in the real estate business is confidence and local realty agents would do well to kc< p th ■ goose in good health. Hinder artists, by the way, might be r.ee idered a,; a scourge to the geese. , ..-- --- LET’S “FILLER” SOME— The bonded debt of North ( a - olio a i- S IS A(\ to - each >v,»'an>\ or so savs the News and Observ er. -• +1 ilighwavs are responsible for !h iria.il r part of the debt, and " *v’“ gasoline tax users of the highways are aiding greatly in! paying that debt. So there, let’s figure. If every person in the state owned an auto (They don’t, hut the is merely experimenting with figures) arid that auto used gasoline, and they all do that if, aching else, how long would ill take to pay off the entire bond d ’•< through the gasoline tax? Five \ears, perhaps a little .'•more. But it’s not so disrouva". in"- as some point it and still where it proves a good exampT f- >• - av (leorgia. Following the theory, if each auto owner eve ry person in the state, purchased seven gallcs of gasoline weekly-—some do, -•*> .- da not—it would take just five years. Seven gallons wi i'k]v is 27 gallons month]'-, :’i-1 trail'ms yearly, br 1.72 ' g 1 lons in five yrars. The th-roe.. emi tax per gallon on 1.720 gal-, Ions in five wars would amp” -'' •■> .. .1 dollars over the $48 30 1 tended debt per person. Therefore, v hen like this ar ticle. with noth'-mr els- tr do— ltuv gasoline and burn it. Note: This is not an adver tisement for anv gasoline com pany, but 'merely lei o -<> t>nv speculation in print, which in a newspaper shop is termed “spatc fining.” A 111 K1AI, AT SKA ’d'to1 ••••■ ntvs et : whirred and throhbed in more than a seor" of eladv newspaper off ices, reeling off miles and | miles of newsprint, the body of •> great publishm- was uuietlv , dr "nod over the shin of the | vacht Ohio and found its r->st I ;0 the bottom of the j An‘!nt;e •' few da”s ago. i Rwelard \V.
