There have been those who esV "Why does Secretary Itoiion bring back to the fair the same show that performed there last year ? ” The answer is easy. It’s the cleanest show of the type, espec ially considering size, that has ever played this section. Devoid of the sexual lures and the customary risque performances the Nat Reiss ! shows are nevertheless onUirtain | irg. Sufficient proof Is to remem ber that last year they entertain ed 70,000 people here and not a kick was heard. The Free-Lance Star of Fred ericksburg, Va., commenting on the recent fair there had the following to aay of the Nat Reiss shows. While it is difficult to single out any special feature In such a variety of good attractions, it was a matter of universal comment that the midway this year was made up of shows, rides and concessions of a very superior order. The Nat Reiss Shows, without doubt the larg est organization ever secured for the local fair, consisted of clean shows, courteous attend ants and a well managed per sonnel. Many objectionable features sometimes found on the midway were conspicuous this year by their absence and the public was pleased at the high class of the Reiss organi zation. f A PERSONAL Ql ERY. This is going to he rather per sonal. It will start off with the query, What was it you thought of the fellow who hid back in the moun tains during the World wnr ntul, failed to show up, shoulder a gun, and rnureh away with the rest ot the boys ? After answering the question ns your conscience and memory guide! think along the same line and • what is it you think of those wh > : show no interest in contributing anything to a memorial for the boys who did go—and never came back ? Apply the question especially to those who declared then: “They are fine fellows, 1 wmild do most anything for them; nothing is too, good for them.” There is a slight difference in the two comparisons: The fellow! who hid back in the hills did so fearing the physical destruction of his life. The other fellow thinks! more of his shekels, some of which i may have Come from war profit*, j than of the memory of those whoj lest their lives. Which is plain talk. But had you noticed that The Star’s fund to establish a memo rial to the World war dead of this county is growing none too fast Think it over. If the conviction you reach is that you shouldn’t give to the fund, don’t do it. The memorial should never be bdilt wtih coin coming that way. WITH JOHN ROBINSON S CIRCUS. « She has danced her way around the world, before crowned heads In Java, Siam, Japan, China and Asi atic and European countries, os j well as rulers and presidents in I many other lands. The Charleston, the fox-trot, the one-step, the waltz the cake-walk and other nvodei r«: and classic steps farm the basis of the sensational routine, performed on the tight wire by Miss Karolhie Eddy. Miss Eddy is one of the featur ed wire artists with John Robin son's Circus, coming to Shelby f©» afternoon and night performances on Tuesday October 5, The daugh ter of a former star of the circus world, Miss Eddy is upholding the honor of the family, and every day adds additional glory and laurels o the name of Eddy. ! Simultaneously with the dances of Miss Eddy on the silver thread, her brother, Phillip Eddy, per forms a series of somersaults and flip-flaps on another wire. Young Eddy is the originator of the som ersault on the tight wire. During the past few years many otheri have attempted this feat, but with varying success. —Let Scoggins Weld it— —Let Scoggins Weld it— GHOST WALKS IN J/TIL DE CLARES RED ROW SLAYER (Continued Prom Page 1) In her continued conversation along the topic she displayed i knowledge of having; heard of Nellie Freeman era! Iier razor. “Why, down in South Carolina when a man pesters - won,an they turn her lose if she has to kill him. My sister-in-law shot a man and they cleared her.*' Nevertheless Euzclia says Gaines her vitcim, has inaftlwo calls and ■she is positive about that. “If yu hat seed him yo wouldn’t have tor as,k if Ah was dreamin." she re plied when queried as to' whether or not her imagination had not been playing pranks. “Ah’ve seen enough ghosts to know, cept they uint ghosts. They’s just whoever they are ;uul arc dead folks.” Her ghostly caller by night hasn’t said anything to her yet. she says, and the fact that he might ask her how she is going to wipe his death blood off her hands doesn’t seem to worry her. However, she’d ^kc to htrs*‘ a Bible to put under her head. May Have Been Husband A report has coine from the colored denizens that Gaines might have been a former hi sband of the woman. Thin she denies ve j hemently, declaring that she had never si en the negro before the night she killed him—"and Ah wouldn't have killed him hadn’t Ah thought he was go in to kill me,” she says. Recent, visitors here from her ! former home at Clinton, S. C., said something about another hus band besides Kd .Junes, who lives at Double Shodls, and rumors sifting about the alleys where th colored folk i other tu night have it that the slain negro was about the size of the alleged fii-st husband arid that th-y might have been one and the same. Kuzelia declares she would like to get hold of whoever said she had more than one husband, adding that she married Jones before she was sixteen and had never thought of marrying another man. <k Max Gardner, it is sale, has been secured as counsel for the woman of Red Row. who declares t he’ll never go back to the scene of the killing even if she is ac quitted. “Ah’m n’goin back to South Carolina and when Ah cross water Ah’m gona leave dat dead nigger behind me.” The moral, be there any, should be plain: If you believe in ghosts don't send someone on to the spirit world to make oner—that Is, unless you’re no more afraid than Euzellu, or have some water to cross, or a Bible to open. No other jail inmates can con firm the woman slayer’s story. If iho ghost has been paying visits to her cell they know nothing ubout it. Thinking- Over i Next Legislature Much Depends On (lord Sense Of Next General Assembly. Aus tralian Ballet Likely Charity & Children. Much depends on tlfc good sense of the General Assembly to con vene next January. Many grave (VJestiors of vital importance to the state arc to be considered. The question of lcngeT terms for th" public schools is one that will call for all the wisdom our solor.s can command. Publ’* school -foods are unequally distributed. Urban children have better advantages than those living in rural dis tricts. They have longer terms and better teachers. Every child in ! the state is entitled to an eight 1 months term. But the'question is I flow can this be done? Must we issue more bonds? We are already taxed to death. Another bond is sue will increase our tax burden already as heavy as we can bear. This is one of the great questions, perhaps the greatest, the Legisla i ture will have to face. A better i election law must be provided. ! The Australian ballot ought to be J adopted. But our law makers, if i they give us this law which aJ I'ready prevails in every enlightened | state in tile Union, must do so over j the protest and bitter opposition I of many of our strongest political j leaders, who do not want the deo il.on law changed, because as it j “fund;, now it suits their purposes to a dot. Jt will take courage to pass this law in the faee of this powerful political pressure brought to bear against it, but) a legislator without courage is not fit to hold nublic office. The endorsement of Hon. Max Gardner and of the good women of the state ought to he a mighty stimulus to the weak and wavering. Happily the religious controversy that has raged for the past year or two will not cut much iee in the proceedings of the Legislature. Mr. Poole may intro duce the bill agair.st the teaching of evolution in the schools of the state, but it is not likely to arouse very much feeling ifWiong 'the brethren. Most of the people of \oi\h Carolina believe the Bible 'roil first to last, and their faith in it is so strong they do not think •hat ;t need: to be propped up by the Legislature. Owing to the wis dom of Governor McLean in hi:: handling of the financial situation this vexed problem which so har asses the average Legislature, will give von little trouble this time. Many of the season im ruber. will return and this will main much to the harmony and cff. ektuy of the session. ’ The Report of Fool-bra inch dims Kinston Free-Press.
