Oirewn —SHELBY SIDELIGHTS— By Renn Drum. City official* deserve congratula tions for the purchase of a now fir., truck, according to general reports heard on the- street*-. Shelby hasn’t had any serious fires in several years, and ha« oft termed lucky for not having. But luck, if there be .such «. thing, is is more like the worm that turn than the worm itself. Some day—pessimism not included —Shelby is going to have fire by the law: of averages and not until then will -the citizens really feel grateful’ for the new truck—except they’ll wish it were two new trucks. Years ago Statesville, a town somewhat larger than Shelby, was about as poorly equipped as Shelby as a fire department goes. And then one day a costly portion of the t jwn liurned up. The lesson that fire taught was well received. Todiyi Statesville has one of the best equipped fire departments in the state, mu! a volunteer fire fighting force that holds several world records made in state fire tournaments. Which means that a fire there now would he fought on basis that would give the ownefs uf beautiful homes an equal chance. Up at Hickory, a* the colvurn esti mates, is the best equipped fire de partment for a small city n America. Hickory does riot hold the tournament records of the Statesville departrneiit because Hickory hasn’t been entering the tournaments so long as State-ville. imt in recent years that fir- depart-' rnent has cornered several honors at the annual fire races. Herman Eskridge and a local team of volunteers are now practicing reg ularly to represent Shelby in the next j tournament. They’ll not likely win first honors the Hrnt > eaU-winning chemieal arul hose- iw. e* -at .a sU I • tourmuneut like other tilings demands" practice and experience as well at nerve and ability. The team that re presents Statesville, and hold worlth honors for water and chemical time, j has changed very little in seven or i light years and members of the team hiivt> their bit down like machines. , . Wlth i: J ew truck and a team ftnat knows how to handle itself Shei hy will h« considerably safer in a month or so’ than ever before. I’fir which, we say, the city de serves to be congratulated and lire insurance agents should assist in the congratulating. ^ hen the sun beams down without m er ey ami riot u ra.n (loud in .'b;ri:', business is dull. , Kvon new?. A"d for proof. Eason;; over to El>;d t'di.si which is ns well known in Shelby as Elbert Hubbard was’in Ka Aurora, the colyuni encountered another specimen of the newspaper game.-—the i niy redheaded member of The Star staff—whereupon the un successful attempt was made to ex tract some news of any variety from the bookstore nape. who was busily enfiajjcd in reading “What comes down m.y c reek ’ a- seined up by Harry Stilweil. blindly the r.ujfgest'un was made that in order to ;;et a pood story that Mr. Khe)toft take his. shotgun and' shoot down the first half dosten folks to pass along' the street. After a bit of meditation the >aye gave he. answer: “There’:; only one objection, llu'.ines . is so dull that I can't afford to buy the ammunition.” (The story, understand, serves tv.o purposes: One to show the ever-pres ent wit of t hie eharuuLer at K bed to ft’s, and the othei- to fill space i.n this colyuni. I Horace fliigg, the ..'tew county superintend'nt of schools, has mon reason nowadays than ever before to believe that he n.ade a good move in accepting ih • ofi¥r of the board of edu< at ion. It’s this way: the office of the county superintendent on the second floor of the curt house, up where the brecst blow, amid the tree tops, is the coolest spot in Shelby—which is a good move for anyone to make in weather a. of recent weeks.

The eolyum recommends it from ' hearsay .never having been to the top rung of the blooming climb. "Politics came to the forefront again Saturday in Cleveland I county,’ is the opening sentence ' of the Star's primary report. “Again”? Some of us on the out i side had the impression that poli tics is always up and dressed i at the bead of the procession in Ben Cleveland’s county.—States ville l>aily. And in that paragraph the States ville writer summed up the general opinion of Cleveland county and poli ties. j Wherewith the colyum would despoil outside opinions in u ruthless man ner. Several years ago this colyum mi grated to Shelby for the first time and knew little of Shelby other than | that it was the home of Clyde H ey, Max Gardner and other statesmen. | And the colyum like unto other strangers had the settled op.nion | that there was a big room somewhere in Shelby whore all these fellows— i if they’ll pad on the name—gathered together and outlined political poli | ties and future campaigns. Fact is, j the colyum even dreamed of getting j i out ream after ream of political cor | rcspondence to the state papers ubout j the doings and comment of Gardner, : Hoey and the others on things poli tical. j Imagine the disappointment and (chagrin to lea:n that Gardner was' more irrterostsd in forming and build ing Shelby than in talking «f poli tics, and that Hoey devoted hi.s time to winning hit* law cases,' being' a friend to everybody and teaching his Bible class instead of seeking out a residence in Washington to -occupy when Senator Overman decided “Sal isbury was tiie Place” and moved back home. It was the. ruination of a dream. And now we Would leer to shreds the imagination of other outsiders, who feel sure that at primary time Stud by is uthrob with political plain and the like. Take the recnt pr mary for ex ample, Hoey and Gardner were seen and heard as much in the events as were two ordinary business men and citizens. Having been an outsider once it is easy to understand how an outsider believes that they spend u goodly portion of their eight hour— and plenty more—day “politicking.” In all frankness at far as this col yum can discern, and it i, heck in poking a iinose where it doesn’t be long, Hoey has never mentioned the United (States Senate and instead mitts to have the ambition, which it; about realized, of having the biggest men’s Bible class in North Carolina. And likewise Max Gardner is to all intents, more interested in getting a good stand of cotton out to “itlor poracrc" than in tfcu Cltjbpendaic chair in which Angus Wilt ah Melioan parks. Friends of the Out dele, it*.- a fun ny come-off, but it’s that wav. « ! Like the Statesville writer says “Cleveland may lie always dressed up at the head of the political proces FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH PICNIC EXCURSION TO THOMASVILLE, N. C., FRIDAY, JUNE 18TH, 1926.

My work was a great burden to me. I just hated to do up the dishes, even.

I began to improve at once. It was such a help that 1 continued It until after the baby’s birth. ‘‘I took eight bottles and 1 can certainly say that It helped me. it is a fine tonic. It built me up and seemed to. strengthen me. I grew less nervous and began to sleep better. ”1 cm certainly recommend Cardui to expectant lhothers, for to me it was a wonderful help. ...
