TWINKLES.
A monopoly on mysteries
Shelby had here this w> ek with,
two Charlie Rosses in town.
It was fitting that the man
first to fly over the North Pole
was a Byrd.
June 5 is drawing nearer and
as yet Cleveland county docs not
have quite one hundred candi
dates.
One swallow may not mule
spring, but one swallow some
times indicates that something
has been sprung.
A business survey in a New
York journal says every 3,000
population demands cue modern
apartment house. Which means
at least three should be in Shel
by right now.
True to form it rained again
this year just after the Char
lotte Speedway races, but here
abouts there’s no desire for ihe
entire season of last year to be
repeated.
Ye Paragrapher notes that a
tin mine will begin operating m
Lincoln. Now perhaps Ford will
move one of his flivver plants
near to the production center of
materials.
Wonder if there’ll be any dis
appointments in June outside of
defeated politicians? Y’knovv it’s
also the month of June brides- -
and by necessity where t hero's
a bride there also a groom.
Charles lloss, assistant attor
ney general, says $12,000 has
been spent in trying to locate
Highway It) by New ten. And we
add that several dozen columns
of newspaper space have also
been spent.
If the British dr:i, > would
spread all over l’urov perhaps
it would tench somv of tier
countries to coase sending tips'
labor agitato's over tr ArrerAu
to stir up strikes.
The best way to be Mire V, v.v,
many of the candidates will lie
successful in the coming primary
is to wait until June t>. Vih.cn mI
not any information, but is just:
as safe as predictions and more!
likely to be light.
Ye I aragrapher wonders why
someone didn’t lake the highway
commissioners here Monday out
for a jaunt along some of our
detours. A wrangle may have
held up the Newton road, but
we’ve heard < f nothing to slow!
up Highway 20 to the westward. |
To the delight of kidhood Babe ,
Ruth has staged a come-back in
basez ill and today he’s receiving
the compliments of the fans of
the world’s greatest pastime.
Compliments that overshadow
those paid Johnson, the old
master who never weakened,
and Jess Petty, who forgo* he
was gassed in France, and still
cuts them down from the mound.
-M-,
Viewing the Newton highway
tangle as an uninterested by
stander, it stems as if tjje Ca
tawba town is morally right and
, the highway commission techni
cally right. Which is neither
here nor there. It does seem that
fyom a matter of justice the high
way should go through iho car
ter of Newton, but then there's
that precedent of crossing the
* road commission that may prove
dangerous in the future.
SEEING A PUBLICITY MAN.
Scores of curious people gave
ihe man believed to be Charlie
Ross the “rnee-over” when he
visited Shelby this week.
Speaking in the terms of pub
licity, Shelby made Ross, or Del •
j linger, and Dellinger gave Shelby
j a big share of publicity. Yet this
I week was the tirst time in years
ihat the two had gotten to
j get her.
Wherein we are reminded of
the prominent Gastonia citizen s
I prize for North Carolina news
paper service during 1U2G.
If Dellinger proves to be Ross
! what newspaper feat of the year
: would surpass the uncovering of
America’s greatest kidnapping
I mystery ?
Which is getting mighty close
to personal boosting.
COUNTY POLITICS.
m today's issue The Star car
a brief survey of the county
floptical sit nation.
The season of the year with
the primary demands it—not
anv political heat that has
arisen.
All of which should he re
ecu nd with remieing by Cleye
b’rul county folks. Shirs and bad
ly ennduoted campaigns bringing
in bitterne,.vs anil hard words
‘mem to have had their day. Al
I bought t’.he county has a great
army of candidates no -knowl
edge comes to this paper of any
thing other than above-boatd
•amnrtigns. Candidates are pre
en tine their strong points and
an not hurling bitter statements
at opposing candidates.
I here may be a small amount
cf petty differences, but no is
sues have arisen so far that
would have a lasting ill effect.
And it is the hope of this miner
that the campaigns will cen
time' so. C!< only conducted poli
tical campaigns do not hurt a
community, and th > opposite
type of campaign doesn’t carry
enough good with it to be worth
while.
With the nearing of primary
dav it is our urge that you tm
out and vote. Vote for the candi
date yen believe will best, serve
vmir interests end the interests
of the county. Let no personal
views havg too much to do with
your vote.
I!ut, above all, vote on that
(lay. And veto for the candidate
j of your choice, not the candidate
: of persuasion.
