TWINKLES v The next occasion being that of Kris Kemeries corning ore wonders if the Southern would present Shtib.v with a new passenger station STILL UP LN AIR '' They’re still able to talk in big figures about Henderson ville. This time it is of a two million dollar suit. LASTED LONGER, MERLE There’s not so much tragedy in the Vanderbilt girls mar riage and annulment. Likely as not she would have divorced the American lover years ago, had jshe married her hearts desire. GET IN HEADLINES NOW , A lot of one horse politicians and office holders should have returned thanks yesterday for A1 Smith. Those of the type are able to get their speeches published now just because they denounce the New York man. JIM’S SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY Ye Twinkler’s idea of a good entertainment would have been the opportunity of listening in on J. D. Grist’s conversa tion with the New York World stuff writers about the South Carolina lynching. COTTON HONOR CHEAP NOW A few years back when Cleveland county stepped ahead of the cotton production of preceding years the fset was print ed on the stationery of local boosters. This year the crop bids fair to reach new marks, and one hears nothing of it. A NEW KIND OF SPEECH It is always a pleasure to report signs of progress. At a recent (Tinner in New York an innovation was presented in the.form of a "speechless” speech. There were four addresses, which, however, instead of being delivered by their authors, were distributed to the guests in-printed form. This is our idea of civilization of a high order. No stam mering words, no mutual patting of backs, no boring jokes and no oratory of a high order. What a feast it must have been. \ - FOR CONGRESS IN 1928 Those with an ear for political rumblings hear some talk these days of a warm congressional race in the offing. Op ponents are already being talked for Major A. L. Buhvipkle Among those named are Solicitor Jolm Gv Carpenter, of Gastonia, and Edgar W. Pharr, of Mecklenburg, ,Rumor has it that these two men are already in the race unofficially and, take it from us, others will enter once can didates begin to announce themselves. However, despite the known ability of the likely candidates it should be remember ed that with so many in the race it will not be an easy mat ter to dislodge the present Congressman. A split vote for the others would create a nice gift fpr the Major. Anyway it goes 19B8 is going to be an interesting year poli tically speaking. NOT FIGHTING GAFFNEY The secretary of the Gaffney Chamber of Commerce seems to think because Shelby is trying to get the P. and N that we are trying to deprive Gaffney of its connection. Shelby has never intimated which route it wants the P. and N. to take between Shelby and Spartanburg. It. would be un becoming for us to try to dictate that route to the P. and N. officials. What we-do want and are striving hard to get is a connection from Gastonia and Kings Mountain and if we accomplish this, we will be satisfied. The P. and N. is not a trunk line road. It is seeking to reach out and connect up with towns that give it the most freight and passenger traffic, therefore it is perfectly rea sonable to believe that it will seriously consider connections with both Shelby and Gaffney, even though the rail length might be a few miles further. We hope our Gaffney friends will forget the idea that Shelby is trying to fight Gaffney in order to get something for itself. ACTIVITY ON HIGHWAY 20 Those who observe the moving of traffic on highway channels will note with interest that State engineers will de finitely locate Highway 18 from Shelby to the South Caro liria line. This move heralds a hard surface r*md in the fu ture and brings thoughts of a new traffic arterv through Shelby. Hundreds of motorists coming South in the fall and win ter take what the North and East know as the Johnson City route- From that point their trip is, much a matter of tak ing the best offered. With the inviting stretch of the Central highway from Asheville to Morganton and Highwnv 18 ig good condition from Morganion to Shelby and from *Si&ielby southward this route would attract much of that Pn addition to that of sections near by. way 18 should mean considerable to Shelbv and nd county provided indications of future activities ilizo. Mayc QUESTIONS CIVIL AUTHORITY Tb$ people of America have read numerous tales of the warfare in Williamson county, Illinois. As a whole they |ye been reluctant to believe that the condition there baas bad as news dispatches indicate It seems that or gangs of criminals have developed a system of war similar to the tong warfare that periodically sweeps jh Chinatown. ' for McCormick, of Herrin, recently reported that the » have reach.ed such proportions that no sheriff can cope the situation, no prosecuting attorney can convict them i no citigea can safely testify against them. He suggests up of a military court, saying “there is no 'man in county who believes civil authority can ever the existing conditions.” don’t know much about the causes of the conditions oiB county, bijt we are of the opinion that the le citizena are entitled to some immediate relief. If of soldiers on a large scale is necessary then they are used to clean up this nest of gang crim better. Ladies Night At King's Mtn. Citsvar? Pleasing Program is Rendered, With Many (iood Stunts.

Gladys says thnt the dumbest girl she knows is the one who told her that a coupe is an inferior type of car, because every time she went out into the country the roads were lined' with those that had stalled. Joe Canon And Overcoat Buying Washington, Nov. 15.—Of the i thousand and one stories told by ' or about Uncle Joe Cannon there j never was one to compare with the 1 oven oat story. It was a classic. | tl happened a good long time ago when Uncle Joe was vigorous and when he invariably walked from | his home to the capitol, turning into Pennsylvania avenue at the j treasury and trudging down ^he i famous thoroughfare at a pace which made many a younger man I lag behind. Uncle Joe’s companion I on most of these walks at the | time the story opens was “Jim” Watson, of Indiana, now a senator, | hut then a. member of the house. Compire Against Him Uncle Joe never was much for I dressing up. In fact, he often would let himself get rather seedy, ill's daughter Miss Helen Cannon, j tried in vain to get her father to buy a new overcoat. His old one | was slick in several places. But : Uncle Joe liked it and said he | didn’t have time to buy a new one. ! Miss Cannon enlisted the friend j ly services of Jim Watson, ^she j asked him to inveigle Uncle Joe into a clothing store along Penn sylvania avenue some morning and make him buy a new coat. The high strategy was successful. Uncle Joe began to try on several i overcoats. At last he struck one which met his fancy. It was a | beautiful garment and Uncle Joe rather strutted in front of the long mirror, cigar cocked, as usual, out of the left corner of hie mouth. Sold! “i’ll take it,” he said; “how much?” “Fifty dolars,” replied the clerk. Uncle Joe gave a start, then, quick as a flash, ripned the coat from his back, threw it on the floor and stamped out of the place. “Hell,” he said. “I wouldn’t pay more than $25 for any man’s over coat.” That evening Jim Watson report ed the failure of the quest to Miss Canon. For a time she was down hearted. Then she thought of a scheme and unfolded it to her com panion in “crime.” She would go to The store, pay the extra $25 her se'lf and then Uncle Joe was to be once more inveigled into the insti tution and told there was a fire sa'e or something. It was not so easy to get Uncle .Too in the stove again. He shied at every suggestion. At last, how ever, he was induced. The clerk had liocn posted. He brought out the favorite overcoat and after a sufficient amount of bargaining, knocked it down to the gentleman from Illinois for $25. Proud as Peacock I Uncle Joe was proud as a pea cock: proud of the way he looked in the new garment and proud of the bargain he had made. When he reached the cloak rooms of the house the new garment was a sen sation. It was a riot. Uncle Joe put it on and took it off many; times fov his admirers. Eventually one of his colleagues askcd.Uncle Joe what he paid for the coat. “Twenty-five dollars,” said Uncle Joe. “I’ll give you thirty-five fov it,” offered his friend. “Sold,” said Uncle Joe. When he told Miss Cannon that evening of the big deal he had put over, the daughter collapsed. Uncle | Joe wove his old slick coat fo r» : long time thereafter, and never | ceased to tell of how he made $10 ; in the trade. Millioniare Buys More Mountain Land Thermal City.—From a reliable source of information it was learn ed here today that Mr. E. W. Grove, the millionaire of Grove Park, , Asheville, and Mr. W. R. Ellerson, 1 of Hot Springs, about forty miles from Asheville on French Broad liver, had options on land amount ing to between one hundred and fifty and two hundred acres, on the Second Broad river, between the C. C. and O. and Southern raijways for an approximate distance of two I miles. Part of the properties owned by Mr. A. F. Weaver and Mr. M; V, Bottles is r.ow being surveyed. This work began eavly today and it is believed that another property will also be surveyed as it is the wish of the purchasers to include it in the land they will buy. The titles were examined and fount* to be satisfac - tovy. When the surveys arc com ! pleted it is understood cash pay ments will be made and the deeds recorded by the company now or about to be formed. Thread three times as strong ns that of ordinary cotton is manufac tured from bark of the Mexican can Jews. A great many sweeping victor ies promised in the late campaign failed to arrive due to broom trou ble. When a married man does not get last word it generally, is ‘Well, j I did the best I could under the circumstances.” The horse and buggy just natur ally had to pass out. It wap slow— seldom ever ran over anybody or into anything. The health columns in the daily newspapers notwithstanding, it has been found that pie and of&f are still the most popular food% in. America. St. Johnsbury, Vt.—Every manj [for his trade and every trade for! | it:; tracks. So say the rum-runners j who take it upon themselves to] | supply the parched throats in the* j i United States who still desire! j Canadian liquor though Volstead land others have decreed against1 it. A trick is a trick, though in the | process of deception, it may nrove i ftatal to ihc rum-running business.’ To the rum-runers who originate I the tricks of that business, the adage of “all is fair in love and war,” must have been broadened in] ; its interpretation to include rum- j running. At any rate the hoys who bring the stimulant over the border are j resorting to all means, whether fair or foul, t oaeeomplish their purpose The latest trick which has caus ed serious injuries to several po licemen and may yet cause fatali ties is commonly known as the “smoke screen.” ! As the name implies, that’s ! whht it is—a smoke screen. All j 'kerosene, a hot exhaust pipe on a] | liquor laden automobile, and a po-; I lice officer in pursuit. Then the i smoke-screen goes into action. Not until he is about to he over taken and all hopes of escape are abandoned does the rum-runner put this trick into action. He has the gallon can of kerosene attach ed to his car, so connected that a ] pull of. a wire open a c;vp and al- j lows the kerosene to fall drop by1 droD onto the hot exhaut pipe, j Without igniting, the kerosene j evaporates, throwing off a heavy i i white smoke. Within a few minutes i i the automobile has every appear- ] l ance of being on fire. So heavy ] does -the smoke become, that it obliterates the view of the pimsu-1 ing officer and he has to slow down or come to a stop, otherwise he is very liable to come to a dis astrous ending. Usually this novel stunt is with- j held by the rum-runner until he j reaches a cross road or a sharp j curve. The result is envious On the" curve the officer is liable to con-1 tinue straightahead piling up on r.n enbankment or some similiar ob stacle. Or he may drop into a road side gully. This has occurred sev eral times. At a cros-road the rum runner simply throw's out his1 screen and thus causes the offi cer to lose valuable minutes as he tries to figure out which of three possible roads his quarry may have taken. So dangerous to police has this weapon of the rum-runners be come that one; the smoke screen is j thrown out, none hut the nerviest! and best riders dare to follow : closely. Football Threatened The New York World sees in the Princeton-Harvard break over football the first sign of an im pending dethronement of King Football from his pedestal in America^ colleges. The breaks that have come be- j tween the otherwise pleasant te- < lations of many colleges this fall canot be attributed to anything i else than the power of football unbridled and uncontrolled. It is! running away with our schools and colleges. It has come to"pass 1 that a college is not considered j anything unless it has a winning football team. Nothing else counts for much in the eyes of the alum ni and undergraduates. The New York paper- expresses the hope that the Harvard-Prince ton break “is the first sign of a debacle whereby football will fall of its own weight.” The World con- : tends that “it now looks as though we have neither college nor uni versities but simply rival football! clubs,” and while admitting that glasses go on and other activities are reported says the defenders of the present system “will hardly deny that football is now the chief campus activity; that its coaches are paid more than professors; that its budget is larger than the budget for anything else; that it is almost the sole interest of the alumni and that any president who dares flout that interest would lose his job so quickly he would not know what happened to him. In short, football comes first, and all else second.” There is much truth in these \ statements. We are giving too! much thought to football. In many [ institutions football players have all kinds of advantages and are not required to pass their work. In other fords the system of opera tion at many institutions now de- i pends upon the effect it will havej on the football team. Again The World says: “The time must come, and come fairly soon, when the country real ires it is absurd. Does the Har vard Princeton rumpus aid the realization? Theh let us have more such rumpuses, and the more idiotic the better. If some college stadium were ever rented to} Bungling Brothers circus that he a redr letter day for American education.’’-.Gastonia Gazette. t LOOK FOR THE YELLOW FRONTS ECONOMY LANE — LEADS TO THE YEI LOW FRONT STORES SUNMAID RAISINS, Puffed Ami Seedless, Pkg. !2£c LIFEBUOY SOAP, 3 Cakes .:. .20c -'r\\r x. j-*.* o^-w tur <*«"** tt* w».fttra# u»»i tv#'* VAN CAMP’S BEANS, Large Can.8c RICE, Fancy Blue Rose, Whole Head,-2 lbs.15c | |ft^^in»-»M««v««J-'«"xjafli.tJ'AJtLtrKUJrJMgtil'U,fXkff U# r »*T' ^V|ff%r,^VVX'WXj7 >^T<WW W V>WUr, CITRON, Fancy Candied, lb.’. 50c j ww^m****^ VWJWT •*.-.- vur-^jr-vyiaj^ur-c-t ^ xt» k#-«v# tv. \_* 'v>«.T<in#w’'tfu«r^s#bruw«ru wwtu v««# | APPLE SAUCE, Ready for Use, Large Can.11c | wwv wv^fUM’VJJu«ruVM(Ml'tkr>«r&r .jrm7-»jr**w^r**Turvur\n»'*v#'«#r\A**^#*^r**«»->v*m*Tv#tt#-r j D.
