Shelby real estate may not be as active as some, but one local development sold an aver age of 10 lots daily last week .and that without operating louases or hich-pressure tactics.

SIDETR ACK C M I FI) “PERJURY.” Sometime back—no doubt v. eryone is aeuuainted with the story—Ear] Carroll. New York theatrical producer. steered a party, the “bathtub party”, you know. In th<> weeks that have fol lowed America Ins heard much of that partv and now America learns how the cards are dealt in such affairs. In the maze of color about the story of the party the story seems to be that Carroll invited a select prang and nave them what other than New Toilers would consider an indecent show. A bathtub was placed on a 9§| starre. and a young <dih entirely nude it seem A bathed therein. In the bathtub was oingerale. chamnairne, or “something or other". From all reports it must have been some show. Reports of the party reached the grand ji,vv and Carrol] was ouestioned T7e denied that the tub was filled with alcoholic hev rrage cf any vanetv and that the girl was completely undress ed. and several other things. Then came his au-ost and i; i:d for perjury. And he was found guilty of nerjurv in that ho told the grand jury that no one oc cupied a bathtub at his party Somehow—and it is under stood—most of the witnesses couldn't forget what did occupy the tub, and thus his conviction.1 But so far as is known he v a ; * nofc, and has not been convicted of presenting an indecent scene, I or of getting a roung girl dun k and have her display her body to his guests. ' Yet one hears reports from! New York as to how indecent! shows are being censored and barred. Instead of a trial. v\e would! term it a sidetrack. FLOWERS TO THE LIVING. It happens even in Shelby. J Not long since an ex-service man died in a section of North Carolina. Following his funeral there wore many beautifu.1 tri butes to his life, and many peo ple spoke of his duty to his coun try back wheri “doughboys” were : Imost idols. And a man, who observed closely, took no tice of the tributes and remem bered that the young fellow fol lowing his discharge after the war had made a desperate strug gle to make things go. Married to the girl who waited through the war he t’aceTi added respon sibilities Then his health <r ve way and somehow the folks who were willing to give any thing for one of “the boys” nev er noticed. And he battled on with little help or encourage ment . Then he died. And then came the (lowers. It is an old harping—that of rflustinf a world that hands out :'s I lowers to those that can no longer appreciate them—but whv can men not understand? One kind word to a living man or woman may equal a packed church of tributes to the dead; one r; se planted where there is a breath of life may equal an en tire flower- garden that decorates the final sleeping place. heigh M. Hughes in Capper’s Weekly explains why: Closed eyes can't sec the white roses. Cold hands can’t hold them, you know. Breath that is stilled cannot gather The odors that sweet from them blow. Death, with a peace beyond dreaming, Its children of earth doth endow; Lift* is the time we can hold them, So give them the flowers now! Just a kind word or a greeting; Just a warm grasp or A smile— They are the flowers that will light; n rl he burden for many a mile. Wi rds cannot tell what n measure Of blessing such gifts will allow To dwell in the lives of many. So give them the flowers now. POULTRY IN CLEVELAND. Tlu* poultry aide-crop for Clev eland county is becoming a re nlitv. and a helpful one at that. Which should prove a matter of c-atifnation to Rev. John W. Settle and hs few co-workevs who have labored long and faith fully in convincing the people of the county the advantages in a poultry side-line. Former county agent R. E. Lawrence advanced the poultry game a step or so by his endeavor while here, and Ids successor, Mr. Hardin, has mov ed it on another step. Assisting ; them have been such men as Rev. Mr. Suttle, P. L. Hennessa ; vnd other- who realize just how. — p h poeb’ v will help the ■fait':’ of the county—help in ways. Wot on!'- In* In? poultry crop < - t- -4..1 m this county, * i ’ uvr ’"Miidily oil over \ -i ■ i7ilc following • u tule-fc i'"n Raleigh re 1 '’os in :■ i extent the impor 11 vnee poultry is now held in over I the state: The importance of poultry raising as a real money-maker for the farm er is being demonstrated in the High schools over the state through the vocational agrieultral extension work being conducted by the State college here. As a result oT these vocational courses, which are open to boys of school age and adults as well, chick en rais:ng on a large and systematic scale is being undertaken in more sections, and in every case, with good profit. In Orange county last year, the farmers cleared more from their eggs and poultry than from their to bacco crop, they told a representative of the State college vocational de partment, and this year are enlarg ing their, poultry houses with a view to a bigger “chicken year” than last. One farmer has a well-kept flock < f some 80 to 85 hens, and has been gathering consistently around <>o eggs a day all Spring. But the watch word for him, as well as for all of those who have succeeded has been ‘keep clean,” preached constantly iti the classes of the department. “Chick ens cannot be raised in insanitaiy buildings and surroundings. Clean liness is paramount in successful poul try culture,” they are tol 1. An example of whai is being ac complished all over the state in poultry raising, as sponsored by the department of vocational education is shown by what is being done in the Apex school, in Wake county. There "are 24 toys and 17 adults in the voca tional class, who are having great suc cess in raising 10,250 chicks for broilers anel layers. Ninety-two per cent have been raised to broiler age —from 10 t * 15 weeks. In addition t > the 24 boys studying poultry raising, 31 more are taking a course in gen eral crops and this year are produej ing 39 acres of tobacco and twenty acres of cotton in connection with their course,' Sentiment for flleSwain Grows Strong As the People Realize Why His Opponent Was Hrought Out. Peyton MeSwain has mark* no ef fort to make a personal canvass < ! the county. He doesn’t think that this is necessary. The people of Cleveland county are of sufficient intelligence, to know how to vote when ihc frets are presented to them. The two prin-.j clple questions to decide in the selee- ; tion of a State Senator are first, the j ability < f the candidate to represent the people; and second, his position on the issues before the public. As to the superior ability and quali f!'-*,ion of Peyton MeSwain for fh's office there can be no question ;.f; doubt. If by chance any voter in Cleveland county should vote against MeSwain, he will do so with his con s' dance ringing in his ears that he is voting against the one man in the race that really deserves the honor of the office and the one man in the race that really has the ability Lo repre sent this county and district in the -•state Scnaa1. Should any candidate expect the’in telligent citizenship of any commute ! ity to vote for him to represent their interests in the State senate unless he is willing to state his position on all j the questions of the day, and let the folks know just what he purposes to do if electid ? It was looking upon -he rights of the citizerfsbip of this county and state from that point of view that prompted Peyton MeSwain to publish and outline his platform in the newspapers, several weeks ago, stating fully his position on all the issues, in order that everybody might know just where he stood before ask j ing them to support him >n this elec tion. Peyton M-cSv:a<:i has an opponent in this race who has the temerity to ask the good people of this county to vote for him for the office of State Senator. Yet he has been as silent as the tonib, and as dumb as an by .stir in seven languages. No on ■ knows why he wants to go to the State Senate, what he expects to do if elected, cr his position on any public question; save and except that little coterie of friends and backers who induced him to run, and promised to see him eie-: •d. For them he would make an ideal senator. He would fit like water, any where they oour him. If that is the kind of Senator the people of tb s ounty want, they will have the op portunity to vote for him in the pi i ru>v, June 5th. Peyton MeSwain announced seveinl months ago that he wouki he a can iliilato for tho office of State Senator. | And the general opinion over thei1 county was that ho would have no opposition. Why was it necessary dm- 1 ing the closing hours of the cam- I pai.gn to bring out this “silent can- ! jidate” from Kings Mountain? There was no demand for him by the peo ple. There is not a half dozen people in the county that ever considered him as a possible candidate for the State Senate. These are some of the ques tions that the people are beginning to' ask. each other. And the more they talk, the larger McSwain’s majority j grows. 1 eytort McS'vain has conducts 1 a ! titan and open campaign. lie has j made no personal attack upon any , one. Me has simply made an effort t to get the truth before the public. 1 And by the truth he is willing to stand 1 or fall. McSwain has never voted] against any Democrat from Cleve land county for any district or stale office. His loyalty in that respect can not be questioned. He made his fust political spceen in. 1916 when Wood row Wiison was a candidate for Pi ev ident. At that time he was scarcely -i years of age. Since then he lias been active in every campaign, and has proclaimed the principles of demo cracy from qn.' end of the county to the other. Therefore his loyalty, fi delity, and service to the party can hot be denied. Does not his record i f service entitle him to some prefer ence 'u the ranks of the party. If any of the political leaders in this county should oppose McSwain it will be be (arise of some sinister motive and it t for any justifiable cause. How many speeches has McSwain’s silent op ponent” ever made in behalf of the jjsrly, or what has he ever done that would entitle him to any considera tion at the hands of the voters for this office to which he aspires? There can be no denial of the fad that Peyton McSwain deserves ‘.he honor of the'office more than ary ! other candidate in the race; and that ' in the State Senate he would bo in ! position to do more for th ; people of j Cleveland county and the state of j North Carolina than any other canto- ( date in the race. These facts, togeth er with the’ universal desire to lend ] a helping hand to a worthy yourg i man. cause the friends of Peyton Mo- j Swain to feel confident that he wiil j be nominated in the Primary Jure! nth, by a handsome majority over both his opponents.—Political Adv, Th<> 1925 contest far the prize in meddling was very keen, and the judges have pot yet chosen the win ner. Home food would taste as fancy, if you’d put enough sauce on it to make you guess what it is. Ah. well, sop; rt few years fr m now the price of steak will seem more! important than algebra, anyway. -WEBB THEATRE PROGRAM —TONIGHT— Franklin Farnum in “COURAGE” A Western Thriller.
