- dfttlby Sidelights - AFTER READING OVER THE birth and death statistics for Cleve land county the colyum now under stands how these combination furn iture dealers and undertakers look ahead to future business, Every time they come back home and park the hearse after i funeral they go back in the store figuring on selling three baby car riages. Y’see more than three folks are born for every one that dies during the year in Cleveland county. EBELTOFT, THE BOOKSTORE uage, has unearthed an undent col lection of old Shelby pictures. Any body that takes a peep at those snapshots and then look about at the Shelby of today cannot help but be optomistic. One was a snow scene of the court square In the days of the old court house. The view was taken from about the present location of Pendleton’s and there was r well ■with old-fashioned windlass and bucket on each side of the square. However, the oldest looking part of the picture by present compari son was the street, a big rut of snow, mud and slush through which St would have taken a good team of horses to yank much of a load. There was another view of the square in which the present hitr trees were shown to be only small saplings. That was back in the day when dad went courting, or spark ing, in the buggy, and instead cf parking for a petting party he just dropped the lines over the dash board. • ANOTHER VIEW WAS THAT X of the home of Mr. George Blanton with a lattice fence and a big pine tree in the front yard. Still another picture war. that of the old South ern paaaenger station, and b’gosh, • cime to think about It, it is the only thing that has not changed | through the years. There were two view* of the old Cleveland Springs • hotel, the one that was burned, and f in one picture was a picknickin<{ *. group of young swains and their sweetie* of the dny. One of the young ladies in the group had on enough dress to clothe a present day dance hall full of flappers, with enough left over to make Re.', Cross bandages for a little war. The nearest thing the young men wore to balloon pants were balloon hats, and Jim Austell would hnve a heck of a time shaving the four young fellows in a week. A young ster of today looking at the group would term it a Bolshevik uprising. (We’re talking that way about them because any one in that gvoup must be to old by now to be a Jack Dempsey). Some folks In Shelby today call the town a city and aft er looking through those pictures we believe that if they lived in that day they have a right to do so. What’s more The Star intends with in a week or so to publish a few ot' those old pictures. The realty agents should do a big, business then, that is if Shelby can keen or growing like it has since those photos were made, into a booster booklet by McArthur. PRESENT DAY TENDENCIES have also changed the high peaks of a court srrind. Those interested •j| in approaching courts these days always ask “how many divorces are fe there on khe docket?” instead of $ the old question “are any murder § cases coming up?” n. muraer case ratKcn prenv goou fireside conversation, but for gos sip and real, interesting talk there’s nothing like a divorce case. And. b\ the way, the usual dozen or so will come up at the next court in March. In one or two davs th!s week one Shelby attorney filed no tice of three interruptions to the well-known “or forever hereafter hold your peace" contract. FIVE TEARS AGO OR MORE the daring young men attended basketball game* of the fnir sex, perhaps attracted by equally dar ing bloomers. However, with pres ent day street stylos those who at tend basketball games do so for love of the game. In that connec tion it should be added that the Shelby High has a nifty playing little team of girl players, and with their new gymnasium offering all conveniences Shelby folks shoo’d torn out for the games plavcd by them and the boys* team. There is no reason why basketball should not be a major sport in Shelby since it has a double-barrelled at traction in that the girls may also play. A FELLOW STOOD OUT IN front of the Cleveland drug store t'other day and twisted that ra’-t of a Ford which is known as n trunk on an elephant, and while getting his breath in between twists h« remarked to an onlooker: “Henry Ford may have had his uns, and downs in making all these mil lions, but he has given the rest of the world more than he ever had." BUT, OMEOMI, ONE OF OURt writing friends can tell a better joke than that. He Bays: HA lectur er calls Florida tha chin whiskers of Uncle Sam. That may explain why there’s been so much trimming going on down then'." Several Shel hy folks, as we remember, bad a close shave. THERE’S A SKIN OVER TO the postoffiee saying that, skating on the floor is forbidden. Some how we believe the painting of that i sign was useless. Nobody skates except children and who’s going tr | open those heavy swinging doors to let the young skaters in? NO DOUBT THE NEXT MAN who runs for mayor in Shelby could win on a platform that would call for nothing else than standing by those floors and opening them for the ladies of Shelby for a week. He'd get every so-called suffragette vote in Shelby. For the tip we’ll not charge Candidate VV. N. Dorsey a thing, but it’s the best present plan of electioneering. THE PALACE BARBER SHOP has a sign that rends “Meet your Friends Here.” A joky way of say i ing it would be like that old I'.fird style "Meet Meat the Palace." SO FAR THE COLVUM HAS not thought of anything funny to say nbout those street assessments the mayor spoke of, but that ad vertisement the city is running seems to av a plenty: “They must be Paid.’’ THAT’LL B’ALL. WE'LL HAVE > to get out and hunt ourn. Camp Call Items Of Personal Mention (Special to The Star) Our school is progressing nice ly under the able management of Prof. C. G.

Rickard’s Snorts Pay Million Year Former Caftlcjnqgp Promoter Of Greatest Indoor Sports Arena ]hx . ro>t‘»ry New York.—The man called “goofy” by New York sport ex perts when he leased the old Mad ison Square Garden at $15,000 a night seven years ago is dividing a million dollar profit among the backers of his 'new Madison Soiinre Garden this month. He is, of course, Tex Rickard, promoter of life greatest indoor sports arena in history, formal town marshal in Texas, ex-wood chopper, and gold miner in Alaska, once cattleman in South America. How Rickard enlisted the con servative capital of Wali Street in [ his latest promotion venture and | returned to it a profit of approxi j mutely 1,1 per cent on a $7,000,000 ! investment within a year, is told in | an interview in Success Maga i cine. The million dollar earnings of the new Garden do not include the $400,0C0 profi, of the Tunney Dempsey heavyweight champion ship at Philadelphia, promoted by Rickard, but represent the minor events of his sports calendar, bus c.tbnll frames, hockey matches, ix-day bicycle races, do* shows, horse show.;, swimming meets and track meets. Rickard’s formula for promotion of success is simple. The average American is the greatest sport lover in the world, he believes, and all that ho demands of his 'pe-t is that it i>e fair. “You can’t always be sure of putting on a good fight,’’ he says, ‘Though I’ve been lucky that way most of ihe time—but ypu can treat your crowds fair. They’ll treat you right if you treat them right.” Shrewd but honest, as he is char acterised. he believes in the hon esty of those with whom he deals. “I whs middle aged,” he says, “before I ever met a dishonest man.” Stockholders Meeting. ~ b’ Notice is hereby given that the annual meeting of the sharehold ers of the Cleveland Building *ncl Loan Association will be held in i he directors room of the Cleveland Bank and Trust company on Thurs day February 10th at 4 o’clock p. m.

Farmers & Planters Hardware Co. Gastonia Gazette. Ai d now it turns out that the cotton crop may not be os large as has been predicted by t he gov o^nmeni. agricultural authorities. There has been much well ground ed criticism of the way in which the forecasters have boosted the cotton crop and it now looks as if the —~w"re ground for sonic of the chare' \ According to the ginning report of yesterday, some 10.000.000 bales have been ginned. leaving something like two million to he ginned if the crop ir. to reach the 18,000,000 mark set by the gov ernment. It is the belief of many J that two million bales will never be picked from the fields this win ! ter. This is n matter of comment by the New York Cotton Exchange and is quoted by The Charlotte Observer. Most of the cotton that has not yef been ginned doubtless remain", in the fields. It has been subject ed to the rain and cold of win ter, to the winds and the sunshine. In winter time cotton in the field deteriorates rapidly. So that what cottor has not been ginned yet is of very low grade and cannot bring anything like the price of middling. Aside from all this, cotton (pick ing is not a winter activity. Jan uary and February ordinarily are the coldest months of the year. In really cold weather, it is well nigh impossible for women and children to pick cotton, because their hands become numbed and retain sick ing does not require or permit sufficient bodily exercise to keep one from suffering from the cold. Again, the seed cotton is no much lighter at this time of year that the best piker can gather hardly more than half the weight of the staple in one of these short win ter days that he could pick in the longer and milder fall days. Con sequently, a cotton picker can hardly make “salt,” comparatively speaking, gathering what remains of the 1926 crop. I These facts and others justify; the belief that a goodly portion of j the two mil1 ion bales lacking to1 make good the government’s osti-1 mate of 18,618,000 1 bales will j never be picked. Much of the two million bale;;, in all probability, j will be plowed into the ground be- j fore another crop is planted. Much j "of the sixteen and a half million i hales already ginned doubtless is] of low grade and all that is gin- ; ned hereafter will be just as low ; or lower. In the final round-up of the i 1020 crop, it may he found that while the government estimated I more than eighteen and a half i million bales and the price has , been based largely on that esti- 1 mate for several months, the ac tual marketable crop will ft.1! far ] below that figure, anywhere from one to two million bales short of the forecast. We may see a substantial ad vance in the price as spring ap proaches—after the most of the crop lias passed out of the hands of ,he farmers.
