World Slow to Hail Genius of Hawthorne Some of us know that great as Nathaniel Hawthorne was, it was not until 1887 that through tlie per suasion of his friends he allowed himself to publish some of his stories In hook form under the title. “Twice Told Tales," sttys Dr. Frank II. Vizetell.v. The taies were re ceived coldly and proved that their author could not live upon Ids lit erary earnings. At Mowdoin he wrote ‘ Seven Tales of My Native !-nnd," a manuscript which, ufter many journeys to publishers, was consigned to the flames. After that he wrote ills first novel, “Fau shawe," published In 1.8-8, but it received chilly reception. In 18-5 he Joined his mother and sister at Salem, where the ladles lived in seclusion. Here Hawthorne led the lift* of a recluse, seeing little of the mem bers of his family, having most of his meals served alone and rarely taking exercise save after dark. He wrote once to a friend: "We do not live at our house.” then an nounced Ids Intention of taking up literature as a profession. A sec ond series of "Twice Told Tides” and "Mosses From an Old Manse” obtained small profit for their au thor, who In 1851 complained that lor many years he was "the obscur est man of letters In America.” This was the author of that im mortal work, “The Scarlet Fetter;” which he published In 1850, and fol lowed with “The House of the Seven Gables,” and "'The Blythe dule Itomnnce,” three books that are universally acknowledged rank ing among the literary masterpieces of tlie world. Popular Johnny Cake Traced to Skatvneet It has been generally claimed by students (»( words Hint "Johnny cake" Is a corruption of "Journey cake.’’ Apparently there Is no evi dence to support the theory. Will II. Lowderiiillk. In his History of Cumberland, has advanced a theory which seems to he more plausible. A favorite article of diet nmong the Shawnee Indians who lived in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Ohio was a cake made of corn beaten as tine ns (lie means at com mand would permit. This was mixed with water and baked on a tint stone which had been previous ly heated in the lire. The early hunters and trappers in this re gion followed the example of the Indians in milking these cakes, which they called “Shawnee cakes, ’ after the tribe. After the lapse of a few years “Shawnee cake" was corrupted by those who did not know Its origin Into “Johnny cake." Noiteless Auction A noiseless auction Is the latest boon to mankind that has come out of Holland. It nurnla Impossible, but the scheme Is simple. livery body who attends the auction and wants to hid Is provided with a seat. Each chair Is numbered, and connected with wires to a big dial on the auctioneer’s platform. On the dial are numbers representing prices from the lowest to the high est amounts. When I he sale begins, the auc tioneer describes his wares, and then calls for bids. The hand ou the dial on the platform starts to move tip the range of prices, and whenever any bidder wants to drop out, he signals such by pressing the button on Ids chair. When all have dropped out but one, a hell rings and a light Hash 's on the dial hoard, and the highest hid Is tlfhs ascertained without any noise or confusion. Tibetan Customs In Tibet it is the custom of the natives when meeting friends to stick out their tongues as a mark of respect. A peasant who would accost a person of higher caste without doing litis would be re garded its grossly discourteous. Another custom Is the "scarf of welcome." When calling upon a Tibetan gentleman It Is necessary to send a servant in advance with a white scarf wldeh is presented to the host, and he then presents a similar one to the guest. The scarf the visitor takes away lie presents to another ofHcial on his next visit. Much social visits always entail tea drinking as well, no mutter what time of day It Is. Tea in Tibet is emulsified with butter llu vored with soda, so that It is really more like soup tlnjn tea.—F. K. Ward, in the Wide World. Oh, Because A little boy, seeing a glass ey In a shop window, asked what It was. and, being told, inquired if people could see with false eyes, lie was told that they couldn't. A day or two later he wished to know whether people could eat with false teeth, and was told that they could. “Then, if people can eat with false teeth." lie said, "why can’t they see with false eyes?”—Loudon Tit-Bits.

But think how many more numerals would be called into use if they had to list all the overdrafts? A friend o’ ourn who always doles out his wit incognito disa grees with the statement in The Star that only eight of the Shelby teachers are used as instructors in local night schools. "At least a dozen of them,” he added, “are teaching college boys every night of the r eek, and for once the pupils seem to enjoy their schooling. It is just like a real school, too, for the boys try to out do each other in presenting the best candy or nicest flowers—much to the jo yof Bill Riviere, Frank Hoey and Herb Champion." It could be perh. ps that our friend may be right. Despite Gary Smart’s fondness for II. L. Mencken the colyurn be lieves that Shelby’s best read citi zen will now agree that either Mencken or about 75 per cent, of the male population are fools. The critical writer stated last week, you’ll remember, that “no sensible man wants two girlv.*’ This Colyurn is just one sport5 observer among many others, but it welcomes this opportunity of nam ing little Tommy Kerr for a berth on an All-time Shelby High school eleven. Since the first pigskin rolled lop sided down a Shelby field football followers here have never cheered a youth who puts more of his soul in the game. And on actual playing ability the greatest of Shelby hacks were never in Tommy’s class back ing up a line. A few weeks back a former well-known football star remarked after a game: “That Kerr boy is 50 pc reent. of the Shelby line.’’ Some folks couldn’t under stand the statement since Tommy is the team’s field general and nm bles about the hackfitld. What the old football player meant was that Kerr backing up the line stopped more opposing drives by himseif than half of the forward wall, and he didn’t miss teling the truth by any great amount. Rabid Shelby fans after local de-' feats this year have received then biggest joy by watching the i stumpy youngster stop a plunging back, 40 and 50 pounds heavier,! after he came through the line and shove him back down the fielo. Take it from us pad Kerr speed and build equal to his grit and fighting qualities he would be in' All-American. As it is ho possess-, es enough of the never-glve-up spirit and hoadwork to carry him quite n distance in the footbnll l world should lie get the opportuu-j ity. Which brings us to Thomas Kerri the boy instead of Tommy Kerr the; football player. Perhaps the ma-1 jority of Shelby folks know noth ing more about Tommy other than! that his defensive play has been: responsible for three out of foui; opposing fumbles .‘nis year and that1 he has recovered three out of four| fumbles on the local field. (Proof! enough to the man who watches I technical football that Kerr never stops playing between whistles). But there’s a lot more to the boy than that. Manv beys work their way through college, hut not so many have to struggle to secure a high school education. Tommy is one cf the not-so-many. Moreover he is not one of the “working ringers”. Tommy lives in South Shelby and early in life he set the same determ i nation that marks his gridiron play towards an education. Money just wasn’t plentiful enough to buy balloon trousers and the long list of accessories most high school boys have, but that meant little to Tommy. Through the years he has been sticking and should nothing amiss happen he will re caive his diploma this spring as an honor student. Wind that up and digest it with the information that the di ploma cam.ot be listed as a gift to him. There’s a lot to any hoy. de spite circumstances, who’ll get up in the morning, go to school, he the most popular and polite stu dent with his instructors and make the hoc,or roll most every month. But Tommy’s day did not end there. When school was out for the day he journeyed to the football field and near worked himself to physical exhaustion. The majority of his teammates journeyed home seeking a welcome bed after Casey Moris’ grind, but not Tommy. It was home to him and then to work in the mill, many nights until midnight. In gaps between that long grind he found time to study enough to be an honor student. In concluding the information remember that a boy who is wilU inp to “put out” will after he leaves high school. And the tip might be passed along that some wealthy alumnus of a North Carolina col lege could send a good football player to his favorite college next year and help a youngster who is J more willing to help himself get ' an education, and leave a monu ment that will have a whole lot more life about it than a granite slab. Sure, we nominate Tommy for the All-Time eleven just on his football merit, but Tommy the boy is up in a class by himself. It’s a Ion? stretch of coni scut tles and coal bills between Novem ber and the merry month of May, but during the intervening stretch Shclbv already has the opportun ity of discussing the likely next , Lord Mayor of the City of : Springs. | W. N. Dorsey has already tossed i his hat in the ring even before the style sheets have recorded just what kind of bonnets mayors will be wearing next spring. At that it’s a pretty good hat and worn by an equally good man. The big question now is. how many hats will be scampering abou! the ring with Mr. Dorsey before May does get merry? “Uncle Pink,” Shelby’s building mayor, says tis will not be in the bunch, and it’s a cinch that this col-,.urn needs its headgear too much to throw the turban any where. And that’s that. Article In Newspaper Gets Landlord In Had Increases Ilog Census Coleman, Texas.—An article appearing recently in the Coleman Democrat-Voice telling of the ouur dition on the W, C. Jones planta tion near Shield, where tenants have more automobiles than hogs, and not enough chickens to flag ,a hawk got Mr. Jones in bad. bv*t started some thinking that has re sulted in an increased hog popula tion in Coleman county. A , flpw days after tho article appeared Ma jorca had occasion to visit hjs farms and the tenants “jumped him right now.” “We do not get our eggs from town,” they told Mr. Jones. “I thought you did be cause you never have any when I am here.” With this the conversa tion terminated, but thinking about hogs continued. Mr. Jones says that night be thought seriously of the article and tbe ridiculousness of a farm without hogs or ch^kens, and when he got up the next morning he went to Gorman and purchased 50 hogs that are now on feed at his place consuming the big feed crop harvested, and he expects to pay more attention to such things in the future. A farm without chickens and hogs and a small garden, he thinks, is like an automobile with out wheels—neither can get very far. Therefore, Own n Little Dirt Stanley News-Herald. Writing in the University Ncwe Letter on “Landlessness and Crime,” Dr. E. C. Branson gives out some startling figures Which would indicate that land owner ship may have a wholesome effect on the citizen. Says Dr. Branson: “In round numbers, eighty per cent of all the crime in our rural regions is committed by tenants end renters, and even a larger proportion of city crime is com mitted by these landless, homeless, restless, roving multitudes. They are 1,700.000 in North Carolina, black and white, town and county, ard 56,000,000 in the United States. “It is a great American problem this nroblem of home ownership. Civilization is no, longer based on the wide-spread ownership of homes and farms, but on wages, profits and interests, official sal aries and the like sources of in come .The shift is from the own ership of land to the ownership of secondary wealth—stocks, bonds, and other instruments of credit. It is safe to say that the share of stock has changed and the essen tial nature of human nature as fundamentally as any other inven tion of modern times.” Evening Dress Has Train The latest evening dress as ex emplified by a woman at the Kit Cat club, carried a little train at the back. It was so tiny it ap peared^ to be trying very hard to reach th» floor. It was a plain sheaf affair of silver gauze, with a square neck and a back that broke into a little pointed train covered with flat flowers of apple green chiffon. A single flower worn on the left shoulder repealed the scheme in front. Compliments Court Freedom Of Girl Davidson County Paper Notes Di vorce Given Young Couple Here. May do Good Lexingtoti Dispatch. Children who run away to South Carolina where marriage is easy and divorce is impossible may find themselves checkmated! if others follow the course pursued by a Cleveland county mother, whose daughter was divorced last week after the young man who married the child had been forbidden by court decree to live with her. No girl under sixteen years of age can he legally married in North Carolina. No girl under eighteen years of age can be married with put the consent of her parents or duly appointed guardian. But a girl child under sixteen can be married in South Carolina; and the laws of North Carolina for many yenrs have been flouted by those who have taken advantage of the laxity in a sister state. The court action in Cleveland, however, may put a check to this piartice. A superior court judge acted promptly, and probaWy very wisely, in granting an injunction against this marriage. The judge probably used good law in doing as he did. The jury certainly must have thought he used eminently good sense. The rights of the parents and the protection against hasty and ill advised marriages provided by the statutes of North Carolina are indeed of no avail without the benefit of such action as was tak en in the Cleveland county case. ’hslby Merchants Place ‘Ads’ There Fprost City Courier. Mr. J. C. McNccly, of the .T. C. McNeely Co., and Mr. II. A. Mill?, of the Kelly Clothing Co., of Shel by, were visitors to The Couri r office Tuesday morning, when bo^h left copy for ads in this paper. Mr. McNeely, acting spokesman, sa:d that their motive for placing this advertising in Rutherford county’s leading newspaper was not to j take trade away from the mer chants of this county but he thought that in view cf the ope!- 1 ing of the paved road to Shelby,( they possibly could attract trade that was going to other .cities out side the county—some of it pass ing through Shelby en route. There is always more or less trad i ing away from home, mostly by the ladies—and for purely femin I ine reasons—and it is this class of trade they seek according to Mr. McNeely. He also expressed his pleasure at the growth of Forest j City and said that as each city ' progressed the other would bene fit. Year Round Rabbits Domestic rabbits Reserve to be better known as an article of food, says the United States department of agriculture. The meat is very delicious, tasting more like chick en than that of wild rabbits, al though these arc good, too, in then season. Domestic rabbits have no special season, but may be eaten the year around, whenever those who raise them put them on the market. Domestic rabbits are rais ed in hutches where they have only limited exercise and where they can be properly fed. They arc cleanly in habits, and their diet, consisting chiefly of oats, barley, and alfalfa hay, makes the meat sweet, tender, and excellently flavored. Housekeepers will do well to acquaint themselves with the domestic rabbits as an addition to their tables. The gamy flavor of wild rabbits is liked my many per sons, but to others it is not so ac ceptable, and consequently the do mestic rabbit is scarcely known by these people.
