—SHELBY SIDELIGHTS— By Renn Drum. The Utopia dream of man in now a realization. SJiijlby is the answer. With' thr> thermometer hanging around 100 rt-hte summer don’t worry about freezjpg next winter—that is, if you K&vt>,thfe6 cents and live in Shelby. For three cents, reads the wad" of a local merchant, one can buy a pair of hose and one pair of SHOES. ' With prices like that the flopping French franc would go a long ways towards furnishing a home, , Twelve-year-olds in Shelby spent their happiest week-end Saturday and i Sunday. The impossible happened to them. Not an ear not many, anyway— Was scrubbed Saturday night, and twelve-year-olds hate nothing worse | than the customary weekly scrubbing, tn fact, it’s the greatest hoodoo of. their young lives, the only consola tion being that a “funny paper" al ways comes on the day after the Scrubbing. The lack of baths came about Sat urday night through the mpiest of I the city that water be used as spar ingly as possible. And never before have the boys been so patriotic. When motors grabbed an ear and headed j for the bathroom with the remark that a little water won’t be missed, the youngsters started screaming their loyalty to the city. Just think, mother, a lire migm start and the water you use on me might save somebody’s home.” Tlie before-Sunday ear-scrubbing is just as popular with the kiddies as small pox is with the grownups and i two Shelby boys have already ex pressed their wish that the mayor would call up their mothers every Saturday night and say that water couldn't be used for anything except to drink. It’s an ill-wind, sure enough, that doesn't blow a little good to somebody. . Forrest McGill, former Shelby boy now living in Florida, stated while visiting here last week that one hears almost as much of Shelby in Florida as is heard of Asheville. Which is passed along as a kind of tonic to a dozen or more Shelby renl estate agents who felt like leaving last week ffir the North Pole. , According to Sheriff Hugh Logan pnd O. M. Suttle, county and city tax Collectors, nobody suffered a sun-r stroke during the hot spell -tost week" while trying, to rush in and pay tfreii t#»xes. And a wag about town passes the tip that all taxes should be tagged like automobiles, meaning that the man who hasn’t paid his last years taxes should promenade about town wearing a last years tag about his neck. Seriously, though, we doubt if that would help as embarrassing us it tjpight seem, for years ago folks got nvor the idea that it was a disgrace not to pay one’s taxes. The youngsters out for the Shelby football team this fall may expect some more strenuous exercise. Last year Coach “Casey” Morris almost \yore his boys down trying to make them keep up with him, hit the dummy as havd as he did and cover ground with his siieed. That's “Casey’s” way of getting results and it is a good 2ne. Some of the bovs had an idea [int all a coach should do was to pass nut advice and park in the shade— liut ere the end of the season they had other ideas. Which ns also merely passed along in the form of n tip to the youngsters who ore hanging about the drug stores and want “to make the team.” It’ll take a tough youngster to stand t> under Morris’ grind in September. le Shelby coach is playing baseball ih sunkisged Alabama every day and (IP his return this fall will be in his usual “hard-as-rfails” condition and prepared to make life hard for some «f the curbstone cowboys whose sole exercise during the summer has been received while draping balloon trous ers in front of soda fountains. or flipping the Charleston at intervals. ' “Red Buck” Bryant, Washington xg'W spa perm an and a native of this slate, has broadcast the fact that liorth Carolina corn liquor is the pur est in existence. Indication enough that “Red Buck’’ hasn’t been on a visit home lately. Practically all of the old-time blockaders are going out of business due to patent medicine and extract competition.

A recent, starch of the waterfront here l'or \he chanteys of a former day brought so poor a result that search ers went scurrying to other ports with little better effect. The search was in connection with a motion picture production. Its object proved T^Thusicul Blue Bird— found perching right on the motion picture set. “Bit of Rum" Inducement The investigators found a few old sailors among the 1,300 gathered for sea battle scenes in “Old Ironsides”— the story of the frigate Constitution— the best authorities. “It’s the grog,’’ explained an old British seadog. “You see, most of the chanteys said something about a bit of rum. A right good pull in the old days on the sailing ships was re warded." In justification of his theory the old fellow brought forth "Whiskey Johnnie,” which manages to steer a middle course on the liquor question. It opens with this philosophy: Whiskey is the life of man, Whiskey, Johnnie, Oh. I’ll drink me whiskey while I can. Whiskey, Johnnie, Oh. Oh Whiskey straight and whiskey strong Whiskey, Johnnie, Oh. Give me whiskey and I’ll sing my song. Whiskey for my Johnnie. "Antis” Sung ’Km Down Here the anti-liquor forces sank their opponents in a flood of lung power, with the Whiskey Johnnie re frain at. the end of each line: Oh, Whiskey makes me wear old clothes. j Whiskey gave me a Drwen nose. Whiskey killed my poor old dad. Whiskey drove my moth* r mad. And sr on for innumerable stanzas. Short-Drag Chantey One of the pnrliest of the short drag chanteys. “Haul Away Joe,” is just a step removed from the “Yo lieave-boimr” origin of chanteys. It rolloeked through manv stanzas of Irish girls, who are cnlled fat and lazy, and off English girls, beginning: Oh, once I had an Irish girl, but she was fat and lazy. And then I had a yeller girl, and she night druv me crazy.

C. * FIGHT ON TO SAVE CANADIAN 111 F M(Vermont On Foot To Save Emily Spraque; To Die October 15. Ottawa, Can.—Will Canada hang a ! woman for murder as they do in Eng- j land ? Scores of women’s organizations J have sturted a movement to save the] life of Emily Sprague, found guilty of the murder of her husband, Abra ham Gallop, and sentenced to die on the gallows at Roberval, Quebec, on October 15. At the same time other organisa tions of women announce that with J women of Canada seeking equal rights with men the law should apply whether it is a man or a woman who takes a human life. War On Death Penalty The issue has also brought to the front a campaign for the abolishment of capital punishment in Canada. Al ready a great petition is being circul ated asking that the woman's sen tence he commuted for life imprison ment. Abraham Gallop, an employe of the Duke Prince company, was a native of Kingsfield, N, B. He died under mysterious circumstances. He was buried, but later the body was ex humed. The result of an examination showed that the stomach had contain ed “enough strychnine to kill.” Mrs. Gallop was arrested and charged with the murder. It was brought out that strychnine had been bought by Gallop, who in tended to employ it in hunting foxes, and it wras also stated tiiat a bottle of strychnine, the contents of which were undisturbed, had been sent by Gallop to a friend. "Other Man” Testifies Tlie principal witness for the pro secution was Walter Simpson, who boarded with the Gallops. He swore that the convicted woman had told him that she did not love her hus htind. He swore that Mrs. Gallop confess ed to him, that she poisoned her hus band with strychnine. Mrs. Gallop then, according to Simpson had asked him to marry her. lie refused. Mrs. Gallop denied all allegations. The jury rendered its verdict after de liberating three hours. Women of many organizations im mediately took up the case. While thousands are now battling to have the death sentence commuted, others are upholding the sentence on the ■ plea of “a life for a life.” She shows absolutely no interest’ in the outcome of the sentence, and /fftfu&vi mak®, a statement of any kind.
