It was a most enjoyable meeting where frnternalism and fellowship prevailed. The State president H. B. Koontz, of Lexing ton, delivered an inspiring address on what the order mear.s to the nation, what it means to the state and what the local camp means to Shelby. Following President Koontz, W. Z.

(Special to The Star.) South Shelby, Sept. 29.—Rev. H. N. McDiarmid pastor of the Pres ! byterian church was with us T'huro | day morning at which ume he | brought us u helpful and worth while message. After reeding the ■ scripture lesson Mr. McDiarmid talked to the boys and girls as rr in bled about thg “Habits of Life” and told them that they were now forming habits in their lives and ! urged them to form the habit of ! obedience, regular attendance at | school, kindness te others and clear, j speech habit. K is just as easy Mr. ; McDiarmid says to form1 a good habit as a bad one and it is the habits of life that make our eharar ! ter. The knitting together of good habits when we are young will make us stronger end ihese good habits will be hard to break when fwe get older said Mr. McDiarmid. j Miss Ann Adams who leads our chapel music is teaching us two new, song “Loch Lomond” a Scotch; melody and a “Cradle Song” which is a good song for our little lolks.; Miss Ruth Howie teacher of the! third grade section A played the1 pipe organ at .the First Baptist church Sunday morning. Miss Howie plays delightfully. Miss Margaret Pritchard one of our fourth grade teachers spent the week end in Charlotte. The pupils of the South Shelby school were given u holiday yester day in order to attend the fair. Free tickets were given to all chil dren in our school. During the re mainder of the week our school j will be on a one sesston schedule for those who wish to attend the fair in the afternoon. The following teachers reported "no tardies” for, their rooms last* week: Misses Nora Cornwell, Ade line Bostic, Ann Adams, Margaret: Pritchard; Ruth Howie, Ruth Rob-! erts, Irene Chandler, Selma Webb and Yates Blanton. Ten new pupils were enrolled ! Monday.

Hard is the Jife of a political i newspaper reporter in South Car olina, especially in the Democratic i campaign years such as this year. Nomination on the Democratic party is equivalent to election. Take for instance the ease of : James D. >Grist, of Yorkville En quirer, published in York. ; He received the following letter | from a defeated candidate, (inci ; dentally a minister) who Was beat en in his race for the state legis lature. “You defeated me for the legis lature through your newspaper ar ticles. Unless you pay my campaign expenses, which are $250, and two year’s salary as a member of the : house at $-100 a year, 1 am going ! to sue you for damages in the sum | of $25,000.'’ The poor scribe wonders where he would get judgment before a i petit jury. Another candidate, “sore” over i his defeat and laying it to an ar ! tide of the paper written by the young scribe, writes: “I*m going to shoot you On sight.” Several other letters, threatening* everything from death to torture, have also been received.

Oldest Salt Mine Discloses Home of An Ancient People Reno, Nevada.—Announcement that they had discovered the old* est salt mine in America and had come upon evidences of an ancient people was made here recently hy representatives cf the Hele Foun dation museum of i,he American In dian, just returned from an ex ploration trip through southeast, ern Nevada. The party brought with them prehistoric remnants such ns stone hammers and picks, pieces of grass, woven sandals, digging sticks, fiber strings and dried corn. Both the mine and the specimen* were discovered in the Virgin river valley, southeastern Nevada. The people who once used those specimens, according to members of the exploration party, were more ancient than the Pueblo Indians, whose ruins have been excavated ai Pueblo Grande de Nevada. The earlier tribe were so crude they hewed their hammers and picks from solid rocks, without Droviding notches or grooves for handles. They apparently had no knowledge of pottery, as no exam ples of the art were found in the ancient mine—____ Discovery of both mine and pre historic remnants was mgde about sixteen miles from St. Thomas, six miles above the junction of the Virgin and Colorado rivers. Fur ther excavations nre proceeding under supervision of Dr. M. It.! Harrington, noted archailogist. A Poet Malapropos News & Observer. Calling Kipling “A Poet Mala propos,” the New York Times re ferring to America as the laggard who demanded the same pay as the earlier toilers, quotes these lines and says: “Swiftly made his own Those lost spoils we had not won.” "This may be good taunting verse, but it is grossly perverted fact. The United States asks no war indemnity and gets no terri tory. If it is a question of re crimination between countries, what did England get? In the course of the war her Prime Min ister, Mr. Lloyd George, solemnly protested that Great Britain did not want and would not take an inch of land away from her ene mies. To this the savage retort was later made in our Senate that the English did not, in fact, take an inch, because they took hun dreds of thousands of square miles.” The Times thinks that Mr. Kiplirg "his eye in a fine frenzy rollir.g” forgets these things. It says it is wrong for newspapers or speakers to “exacerbrate minds that ought to be seeking a basis 1 of understanding and co-operation.’ It thinks it still worse for a poet, j Believes Missing ’ Link Discovered Batavia, Javn, Sept. 28.—Pro. feasor Heberlin of the Netherlands Government medical service has discovered in Trinil, in Central Java, a complete skull of the pre historic ape-like creature termed by some the “missing link,” and by science, “‘pithecathropus erec tus.” The skull was found at the same place where Professor Eugene Du DuBois of Amsterdam university discovered in 1892 the upper part of a skull, two teeth and a thigh bone, from which was reconstruct, ed the previously unknown ane like human designated as pithe canthropus eroctus. Professor Herberlin’s specimen which is complete and sound, will he kept in Dutch East India, as the exportation of such relics is prohibited. States Cotton Crop Better Than Believed Raleigh, Sept. 28.—“North Carolina has a better cotton crop than the average farmer believes and yet much worse boll weevil damage than he appreciates.” This was the statement issued here today by Frank Parker, State crop statistician. Crop investigations made in 16 North Carolina counties, all lo cated in the cotton growing belt, indicated 7.9 infested bolls per running foot, according to Park er. The average weight per hun dred bolls picked was over 20 ounces seed cotton, Parker satid. The survey was made in the following counties Wake, Chatham, Lee, Moorrt, Richmond, Scotland, Hoke, Cumberland, Harnett, Johnson, Wayne, Nash, Edge combe, Halifax and Northhamp ton.
