What the country really needs is the Coolidge economy policy tried out on the Charleston. The railroad grade crossings of North Carolina is being close ly rivalled recently by razors, shotguns and pistols. A newspaper contains the world’s greatest extremes: The society column where a name m print is sought, and the police court column—. The editor of the Gastonia Gazette is no ignoramus. The news articles out of Gastonia telling of a bank and a textile plant there fail to show any thing that resembles even the be ginning of “hard times”. __—.— --— _ , Several of the Shelby me; chants were seen playing the role of a gardener and lawn sprinkler last Thursday after noon. Could that be the reason some trouble was experienced in making the half holiday a real ity? ■w •' An angle of the Aimee Mc " Pherson story has shifted to — North Carolina bringing more publicity, the Greensboro News *"■*—hints, to realty development centers of the state. Ere long at the present rate the next Balkan I war should be fought in Carolina. 9 ---; Men, whose dark blots of char * acter were generally broadcast I about rne month ago, will for the next two years, as has been the custom, try to live as real gentle men. Then there’ll be another primary. If St. Peter should hear all the reports circulated at. primary, and election time above, men there would be a shortage of population at the place where he serves as gatekeeper Cleveland count v thought ' Sib Dortm ws iu- t dr.' >mi v when he told of his plans f r iH< first fair. Since that time they have learned he has a way of ac complishing his plan, even though they be dreams at the start. And it may be added, for the sake of future observation, that the fair secretary isn’t sat isfied as it is with the biggest county fair in the state. MAKING THK “RAZOR GIRL” A man of the street, one who takes a decided interest in news papers, says that Charlotte’s “Razor Curl” slayer would hard ly have been known out of the » confines of Mecklenburg county had her crime been committed three to five years ago. Accord ing to his views his philosophy is sound. Newspaper rivalry among the Charlotte dailies has taken the t sordid story of the husband killer into practically all the * homes of the state and into many newspapers ov<>r the nation. In * other words the two Charlotte * newspapers are complimented: they are making newsy news and covering the Queen City and its * environs well. Or so seems to be jj the ooinion of the man on the ¥. street. j* Several vears it was the style 5 of North Carolina newsnapers to J headline wire news on the front page with local news briefb- re lated on an inside page. Time •was when a Chicago, or Buffalo £ murder has 'been given a big * h°ad on the fr^nt pages of C» - J olina dailies, while on an inside I page an equally interesting ( ?) i murder committed reaver homo, r wtuere the principals were known to manv readers, was i sparingly detailed. Ore reason - for the difference in display was that the color of the wire mur-i der was “played up” in the story and only the mere details in the local story. Those days are gone forever. North Carolina newspapers, ■xemphlied in the two Charlotte papers, are now employing effi-' cient reportorial staffs—writers that are on the alert for every particle of news, news that is1 more interesting than wire' news. And there is about the j same intriguing interest to one story as there is to another, pro-1 vided the news hound has a prop' erfy developed “sniffer” and in these days Charlotte reporters apnarently get the scent well. Newspaper readers are being educated as well as reporters. Most any man would rather read Mi(' interesting details of a sto-v ; about which he may know noth ing more than the street on which it happened .than to read I the details of a similar store, oming over the wire from Tim-1 h net oo. The day l as been when many. North Carolina newspapers car ried lit Up else than outside news —readable yarns, freak stories, human interest angles, and, crime details from other sec-! lions. The newspaper reader of today perhaps can remember the time in his youth when his grand father remarked after reading of, a freak: “Well those things al-j ways happen afar off where me doesn’t have the chance to' check up on the newspaner.” I Granddad could “mosey” across a county or two, or per haps across the street, nowadays and see fo~ himself. It’s just Uke realtors sometimes warn their homo prospects: “Fields always look greener at a dis tance.’’ Except that it is revers ed. AH of which.

UNHEARD OF BEFORE. It would seem that the mil lenium is near at hand when representative business men hold a praise meeting for public officials. This is what took place Thursday night of last week. The Kiwanis club cemmendeo <h city administration as the “p-if-e r»~p«»rn..«ive in years.” so-vi1 b■ > citizens of Shelhv in a most satisfactory manner. The . ,v. Rvrrd of Mdermen ’’’d ro‘ hejn but feel nroud of , Hv"' > wo"d - Public officials are • o- ''!(>mn i evtfry turn, i hone'1 the praise meeting was all j ’ ho op)' (> unusual. Each speaker i 'o th > ivog-’m was frank to say i t hat the officials readily give in fo- na*ion when it is asked for and always have a valid reason why some of the demands that are m»de upon them are not granted. ! The information imparted by i' i wiiis members bearing on the I city’s business a''fairs was most interesting to the public. While this administration is spending $525,000 bond money for water improvement, school buildings, street and sidewalk improvements, it is driving good bargains and giving the people an economic administration. Dr. Dorton pointed out that the pres nit street improvement project is being done at 40 cents per yard less than previous projects, that city bonds brought the high est premium on record for Shel by securities, and that in build mg the new water station, the; city fathers would reduce the size of a water main called for in the engineer's plans, saved the city $35,000 and provided for the use of the ten-inch main to the old station which will give two mains, this reducing the rate for fire insurance on city property. All nublic officials are human And where theer is a spirit of co-operation and understanding between tax payers and officials, the results are always more sat isfactory. Bouquets are always more effective than brickbats. TAKES TWO TO MAKE ONE. Did it take over two pounds of fertilizer in Cleveland county to produce a pound of'cotton in Cleveland county last year? The Soil Improvement Committee of j the National Fertilizer associa tion savs in its pamphlet on North Carolina agriculture that Cleveland used «n average of 468 pounds of fertilizer on cotton last v'-nr and the yield was 204 pounds of cotton per acre. We are not in a position to contro vert the statement as the fertili zer association is in position to have the facts and the statistics, on other counties are about the same. It impresses all the more the argument that it costs monev to raise cotton and at the present price it is profitable in this countrv where it can’t he produced without commercial fertilizer. A KIND OF BOOST. • 1 Cleveland countv has receiv'd no hotter, or more broadcast boost in manv years than the' recent advertisement of the rount.v appearing in the Manu facturers Ttccorrl through the nourtesv of the Seaboard Air Lino railway. The advertisement, alluring in display and matter, tells of the county’s cotton nrowess. re markable creameries rural light inc program, and other thing-.l Tp ”o{p-n ir js generally hop d bevo*iboots that the advertise r"|pv’t y.ill result in more Cleve land oountr farm products pass in"' 'town the Seaboard to the outside buyer. In foot the word hope is too mild. Present pro gress indicates that such will'be the case. Dr. Wall Begins A Meeting At Lattimare (Special to The Star.) Lattimore R-l.

Harrill, native of Cleveland county, club lead er. “Those who say them stated that they were the finest looking group of young people ever assembled in the state. They were healthy, vigorous, well dressed and well trained. They had a desire to learn and were inter ested in the courses of study as well as in the recreation activities that the extension leaders had to offer.” Mr. Harrill stated that all the vis itors had a lively curiosity. They were attracted by the looms in the textile plant as well as by the new cooking apparatus and the machinery in the power plants and workshops. The tour of the city of Raleigh under the direction of Col. Fred A. Olds was one of the recreation treats. Col, Olds had the club members visit the State peni tentiary, the State hospital, the State museum, the Capitol, and site of the other state buil lings with the trip terminat ng in a reception by Gov ernor McLean at the Mansion. Base ball games and swimming events at tracted many sport lovers and the plays and songs of the evening ses ; ions were enjoyable to all. “Best of all,” says Mr. Harrill, “the young folks carried back to their homes and fellow club workers a greater knowledge of club work and a higher determination to go forward in rural leadership.” A Friend In Need Hardware Man: Yes, Summers'is a good friend of mine.
