T'ji. | anil be strictly rdbered to. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 11. 1926 TWINKLES We knew things were getting hot around the Stole prison, hilt no one thought of a fire at the State hospital. Where there’s a will there may be a way, but where then is a Wills there is n > way t > get Dempsey to fight. Learning, an educational ar ticle says, once centered around , the “Three R’s but not now adays.” No,* No It’s the “Three ! C’s” now—Charleston, Cigar ettes and Cabarets. A Washington dispatch says the best clock in thy world is off one second every-Wdays. Now, lessee, how far dawn the list : would Shelby’s antique town clock rate? “Millions of fish for the back j waters of the Citawna,” re nls j a In tdlir.e. And from t h e rmeunt of development adver tising around Ca.law’ i waters they’re needed. The oldest organisation in Shelby will continue t > func tion it is sunn Ned by the : Chamber of Comm rev. The slogan of the organization re ferred to is: "Let George Do It.” When Tom Dixon spoke in Shelby as a bov the scene of his forensic efforts was down in an old pine field. Thursday j night Ik’ll speak in the center of a hustling little city. And it is fitting that the • • 1 >i« t will be “The Rising South,” Politically speaking, 'as.we get it, the Carolina iiidcpe'vdent is supportng B vb Re> Molds and the Union P. publican is ;till at target pracV'c?. Naturally the; lattur shou'd have r.o o', a hit when it took a pot ■’ > at a1 groJP of 15 can ml :t: in thin county. V'H AT H,ypw * v •. TAN LEARNED Brisbane, r.peaknv: of By. an shortly after the Cr vt G >m moner’s death, said that if Bry an could come back for 80 min utes and tell \vh:*t he had seen and heard along the star-lit way that it would 1 c tic mv-t intvi* eating speech to the world Brv. nn ever made. Mayhaps it w is a thrust at the Christiai religion the noble Nebrask tn advocated. Perhaps under the same light it would he interesting to hear Luther Burbank, self declared infidel, relate his experiences since last Sunday. But. according ’ to th» pi wizards pre-death statement, he hasn’t heard or seen any thing. It was his idea that there was no hereafter. By hi- own mind he’s where all good, and bad, animals go. Just dead. Maybe! GIVE THREE FOR JO Joseph us Danii l is deserv ing of 15 rahs, emphatic, exult ant rahs, by the reading public of America. At last there come a! mg a man who says that Wo tdrow Wilson was a real president, a great man. Woodrow him self mind you. Not Daniels and Wil son; just Wilson. Private friends a. d ea >mct members during the Wilson ad ministration have beet? re«« ing In'gobs their memoirs and disr ie» touching upon the official life of Wilson. Good read;ug 1 hey were, but most, oi the writers forgot the subject and wrote of tbeir own greatness instead Wilson. , '‘That’s why jo. Daniels i.- rv fjD i bt 4T Speaking at Memphis Daniel declared Wilson conceived and] executed great policies. What’s m >n he added: “When my new hook of the doings of the ad ministration of Wood tow Wil son appears those who do me the honor to read it will lay it down with the knowledge that i dm ing those crucial days that a I man by the name of Woodrow j Wilson was president.” thank goodness. From other I articles and hooks on the admin- j istration of Wilson we’re he-] ginning to feel a bit shaky in | confiding to the youngsters, j that. Wilson was our War Pre sident. There were times when we had a hunch maybe it was Col. House, sorm cabinet mem - j her, or Bugs Baer. Daniel's book, we hope will come nearer dealing with facts! than some of the others. At; least, it will go better with the I public generally than those con-j tributions to journalism and! mythical history that tell of how j “Betsy and I"—‘Betsy’ in low-' cas e—-ran the government dur- J ing the war. Without yet seeing Daniel’s I book, we say again, let’s give 15 | rabs for Josephus. The others I wr; ' ■ gob:; about themselves j and sold it with a Wilson title. ^ Dame's handled the “gobs” well during the conflict and really tells of Wilson. WHAT SOME FOLKS KNOW j During the Tony Poreelli af fair an editor of foreign lies- i cent who has found a friendly [ homo in Virginia c ut loose a ni'u 1st:;!m at Shelby “down ini Simmon’s kluxcry state.” It I was a withering attack. There! was only one thing wrong with I it. Outside of being based on something the writer knew no thing about it was a'l right. It’s funny how such mistakes i will be made. The News & ■ Observer in; “Views and Observations” says) it about like v.v understand it. I "When 1 heard that Anna) (Vise, the singer, had bought a* ticket to the wrong Greenville.! I was reminded of a story I j read about nine years ago,” re- j marked Dr. G. M. Cooper, act ing St vte Health Officer, yes terday in commenting upon Miss C i: e’s recent tv mole in arriving at the Greenville, in Pitt Coun ty. “Dr. Rankin and I,” said Dr. Cooper,'were attending a meet ing of thi American Child Hy giene Association in Albany, N. Y„ in 1917, just after America! declared war on Germany. The. government was placing a num- j her of training camps in the South and a number of the Northern papers were raising an awful howl about it. ‘The day we left, 1 glanced at the editorial page of the Albany Knickerbocker-Press, and there. I saw one of the most sarcastic editorials I ever read. It seem ed that the editor of the paper had gotten mixed up, like Miss Case did on the two Greenvilles — Greenville, N. C„ and Green dle. P. C.. and hr believed that (' 11 • rs that hr had placed p . irr at Greenville, N. \Vril. that. edit >r seemed to thi; that the late Claude; Kitchen was responsible for the whole affair, and he priv et (led to write a column about Mr. Kitchen and the South. “He cus-rd out the South in general and Mr. Kitchen in par ticular. He inferred that Mr. Kitchen had been instrumental in having the camp located at Greenville, N. C., so that he and his constituents might haul vegetables across the river from Scotland Neck and thereby reap a fortune. “But” concluded Dr. -Cooper, chuckling over the affair.” 1 oppose that editor got a shock when he found out that there are more than one Greenville. Finds Old Fashioned Way Good for Yams .Andrew J- Klliott who lives oui. in No. r» township contends that the old IT Unioned way of keeping: sweet pota toes through the winter is good enough fi r him. He has a potato house at ihi l ac of the large chimney where he keeps them warm during the winter. He brought The Star a tew samnles tl.e other day from his bed of 100 i hets.

In the forenoon the exercises were bj the second and third grades under di rect on of Mrs. Gold and Mrs, I.atti niere. These little folks, well trained, furnished an enjoyable program. A bountiful dinner was served or. the ground. All enjoyed a social hoU’ together, then heard declamations aia readings in the afternoon. Mr. J. A.
