MONDAY, NOV. 8, 1926. TWINKLES ' "Where there is a will there is always a Cousin Will. Today’s puzzle: Do more folks go to church in Shelby than really own th^ir own car? 11 so, what percentage in each group? November 11. Remember what a day it was eight years ago. Will you let it pass without giving something to a World War Memorial for Cleveland? “ " Af Smith may be a wonder up in ‘Noo Ark,’ but we’ll bet him a ten-spot he couldn’t carry the Democratic ticket through to a victory at Casar. Why not celebrate Armistie Bnv by turning over a contri bution to the fund to create a World War Memorial? Wouldn’t the boys appreciate that more than anything else? Ye Paragrapher has a likely solution of the English Chan nel’s defeat by women- Perhaps all the dear girls who have conquered the Channel received their training by walking home from automobile rides. It is noted that the county board intends to improve the standard of school teachers in Cleveland, which it might be added is not a hint to Supt. Griffin that he is lagging i in mairying off the town teachers. • y « , -• Queen Marie’s entrance to the United States was at least different from shiploads of other notable women who have arrived. The queen didn’t show why hosiery shops prosper in Paree. PUT THE SI H E IN H. Clay Cox, Republican chairman, talking anent the recent ! political doing remarks that “Dcm 0. Crat” writing in The Star prior to the election said that “Cox, an extract-sales man thinks that it is time to extract a Democrat from office.” ! Whereupon Mr. Cox adds that the writer failed to mention that he also sold spice,, and numerous other commodities. That was a “bone” in old *Dem O. Crat’ sure enough. AC- I Cox, or somebody did add “spice" to the campaign even though ~no e xtracting was done. Without those muchly- j talked ballots no telling how small a vote might have been i cast. £»r*’ PULLING FOR WINGS MOUNTAIN *w"Hereabouts there is considerable interest in football, es pecially that played in high schools, and Shelby followers of tfih game are of late pulling for the Kings Mountain High eleven to win. It’s a new come-off. that spirit. Several years back, and j “pardon us for Illustrating bv it, Shelby fans never pulled for ■ Kings Mountain to win in athletics and Kings Mountain fans never thought of doing such for Shelby. But the) dav so^m to be happily a part of the past. Shelby had a fair football eleven this year and Kings Mountain has the best she ever put forth. They met in Shelby and played to a deadlock. It became necessary then to draw for a winner and Kings «Mountain won. That’s the background of the Shelby support 'fbr'tKe' Kings Mountain team. Inst. Friday Kimr* Mountain met another eleven in the state race and Coach Morris and Jiis'Shelby eleven journeyed over to see the east county team 'tvih.' * For several vears Cleveland county has been proud of her youths on Shelby and college football elevens and this year With Kings Mountain in the outstanding role it is fitting that the general support of the county is behind that team. Inci •afoiiadly1 such friendship in sport bids fair to cementing a closer relationship between the two leading towns of the county. Cleveland co mty has a future, that is understood, but the brightness of that future depends on how the lead in- populated centers work together. Let’s hope that the stick-to-the-best. whichever it is, iinues. con GET THAT F. & N. ROAD rv Railroads are not built every day; (hat is, real worthwhile ’fifes. . generation sc’dcm sees more than one railroad built 'through it. The present Shelby generation has not witnessed is rail epic, but the ^whispering has il that it mtv, provided it gets busy. The Piedmont & Northern is to be extended from Gastonia to Spartanburg, and from Charlotte to Durham. With the >cwnpletion of the extension program the P & N will traverse lltlfe of the richest belts of the South. As we see it the matter whether or not Shelby is on that extension is up to Shelby. “The proposed extension from Gastonia to Spartanburg men tions two likely route* The one by Shelby is spoken of as a route would open up ‘"a fertile territory not abundantly sun plied with railroads.” * That definition is erreet. Shell>v by rens^' of its location ,*nd surrounding has all the requisites to grow into a city— . except for adequate railroad facilities. Shelby and this section feels that it is, a fertile territory 'Tld that the P & N from a money-making standnoint alone puld do well to extend the route by Shelby, but the big idea to show F & N officials that such is the case. The man jth brains who idles daily on fnc street corner may know t he has brains, but when he keens them to himself and Street corner no one will profit thereby. The same ap to Shelby’s railroad problem. The Shelby Chamber of Commerce and other civic organ itions could do the work of 10 years in one by showing in authority that the road should be built this way. foolishness to pass over the opportunity with the idea t P & N authorities know what they are about and will by Shelby any way. There are other towns on the other route. They too realize that railroads are not built day, and they realize also that, althought the railroad well underway, railroads bring more of civilization and nity to grow. Consequently they will be busy. ,t has Shelby and this section to offer the P & N? ,t to make P & N officials see that the rdad should come w»y? There are plenty of legitimate, reasonable an to both queries. The big idea now is getting them told, go. \ Gastonia Talks OTP*&NRoute G-vto’iia Gazette. It iR interesting to speculate on the possibilities of the extension nf th» P. and N; southward. Take, for 'nsf'ance. the Linwood proper ty. How will it fare in the devel opmerts that will necessarily fol low in the w-ike of the building of the new road? It. is almost an as sured fact that the new line will run clos" hy or through the Lin wood college pfaperty and o^ not te-vard Kings Mountain by the Mountain view,.jflill site. It means hicr thicv or not. The Cleve land folks have long been waiting the P. and N. and now is th-dr chance. Incidentally, a day or two ago, there was a rumor afloat around Shelby that the Southern might abandon its Saluda-Asho v'lle line a -d pu, its Spartanburg trains hy Blaeksburg and Shelby to Marion and thence over the main line. The extension of the P. and N. as we have nlready observed, is the biggest thing that has come to this section since the war.
