With Otto Wood back in his cell the satirists have little left to harp about except the “bevo” judges. “Crowds Flock To Hear Ford Libel Action,” reads a headline. Yet we’ve seen many folks plug their ears when a flivver of that make was being slandered. Remarkable changes have come about in Cleveland coun ty of recent weeks. Boiling Springs merchants may now sell cigarettes, and visitors to the “big store" may smoke em. It was our opinion that the newspaper fad for publish ing tongue-twisters was a thing of the past, but along came this disturbance in China. ! ' The fellow who rolled his trunk in a wheelbarrow for a "distance of 10 miles to get out of Cleveland county apparent ly doesn’t endorse all the things the booster booklets say about the section. ' , Well, if there are two mayoralty races in Shelby this spring the candidates eliminated in the first contest will not Have any reason to feel bad along with the fellow who gets knocked cut in the final go. If the spring fever has entered your blood instead of drooping about the office during the afternoon just drop aver to the city ball park any of three afternoons this week and watch the Highs in their first home contests. A new Southern station for Shelby is planned, and keep it mum, but did you know that of the group of antique photos the Bookstore Sage has all the scenes have changed except the present depot ? Mothers used to warn their daughters about the dangers of auto riding at night. Now it seems like somebody should warn the boys and men. Enough of 'em seem to he gett ing bumped off on a little nocturnal motor excursion with the girls not following mother’s advice. SITI ORT THE BOYS. While Shelby is getting up interest in Boy Scout work— a fine thing to do—the athletics of the high school youngsters should not be overlooked. If one is to win the friendship and confidence of a boy and thereby help him along it is necessary to support the boy in his undertaking and play. 4 The Shelby High school athletic teams are known from ’one end of the state to the other and it's right discouraging to say that they are generally supported at home poorer than ..any school of similar reputation in the section. Shelby High | as opposition draws a good crowd in any town in the state! be it football, baseball, or basketball, but Shelby High at j home means a losing proposition in defraying the other: “team’s expenses ordinarily. That’s a poor come-off. "" For two years in the past Shelby has copped the state high baseball title and with a snapp.v-looking hunch of re cruits this year there is a possibility of repeating. At least a fine little team is assured. ' Why not get out and support the boys? They’ll have a little more faith and confidence in you if you stick to them. THIS MAYOR’S RACE. X The Union Republican just cannot overlook the fact that Shelby is a political town, where a political race is a real treat, but the paper does admit} that it’s “a powerful fine little city.” » Just why there are something like a half dozen candi dates for mayor The Star does not profess to know. Perhaps jt’s just because six men have decided they want to be mayor, or nave had their friends decide for them. But the Union Republican figures it out this way—bouquets and brickbats hieing duly appreciated: *2IT T!\e mayor’s office in Shelby ipust he exceed ngiy attractive. The election does not come off until May and already a half dozen willing patriots have shied their hats in the ring. Shelby is u powerful fine -Rule city and of course it is an honor to be mayor of it bu. it is rather ^>ut bf the usual order of things for so many to be wanting the place. Generally in a city the size of Shelby it is exceedingly difficult at times to get any ot.e to take the mayor’s job. But we forgot. Shelby ^as long been noted as the home of more would-be Democratic office holders than any city Us size in the State and perhaps some of these half dozen candidates are merely expecting to use this office an a stepping stone for higher honors. ^ PUBLISH THE AUDIT. |U The Star learns that the bill passing ihc recent legisla ture requiring an audit of Cleveland county offices does not dpequire that the audit bo published in a county newspaper. In the opinion of this paper the audit when completed should •%e so published. And the belief is not one of personal gain *ijpony. Jit’s in a way an obligation to tax payers. If the taxpayers of Cleveland county must pay for an /audit showing their affairs are being run in a correct man tier why/should they not be entitled to reading the outcome of the audit in a county paper? fe As The Star recalls there is a law requiring that annual audits of cities and municipalities be.published so that tax know just how things stand. Although not incorpor ated in the bill the same requirement should apply to the audit to be made hereafter of county affairs. Do you not think so? When the audit is completed will there be a mere an hpuqfcement that affairs are found to be in good shape, or 4iiat?they are not in good shape? Shouldn’t the taxpayers ho pay for the audit, and for whom the county government operated, have the privilege of knowing the details of the dit ? They should, The Star -believes. Of course, it will be ere on the record book for all to see, hut how much easier would be to publish the audit so that all might see it. As it is remembered here the petition sent to Raleigh ng for the audit bill to be passed also included a clause ing for publication of the audit. The bill was passed, but was said about publication. Should not the county commissioners see that the audit is published in some county paper—according to their se lection ? A LITTLE SHOP TALK. Herewith comes a little shop talk to readers and writers of the news that appears in The Star, but likewise it should be interesting to those who use the advertising columns of The Star. , The Star goes out on every mail route in Cleveland coun iy and into practically every mail box on these routes— that's the part advertisers should be interested in—and in obligation to these many mail boxes where the paper is de posited three times each week it is nothing but fair that the paper should carry to every one of these boxes the news and community events of the community in which the boxes are located, the Star tries to fulfill this obligation. Correspond ents now write from practically every section of the county. However, there are one or two exceptions and readers in communities where the events are not recorded in the county paper are urged to inform the paper as to how a correspond ent in their communities may be secured. If there is a community wherein there is a story of in terest, about a man, business, or anything else, why not see that it is written up and forwarded to The Star? Or if such is not possible, why not tip a Star writer off to the story? Readers of the paper wmuld enjoy it and The Star would ap preciate presenting it. I)o not say some weeks after things happen, I did not see it in The Star.” Instead let The Star know that it hap pened and it will appear in the news columns. Every effort on the part of readers to improve the news columns of the paper will be appreciated. The Star today has one of the largest circulations outside of the daily field in this section of the South, and the paper is egotistical enough to believe that it publishes as much local and com munity news as any paper outside the daily field. Help us out, and make The'Star a paper that publishes more home news than any other in the Carolinas. And the advertiser can hardly overlook the fact that his bargains will be read about at practically every rural mail box in the county. f45 Year Old Turk Outlives Three Wives; Now Has Trouble With Third Set Of Teeth (Ry International News Service;) | Constantinople. — Aghn Zaro, j age one hundred and forty-five, is in trouble. He has just lost his third set of teeth—developed after | the decay of the second set about forty years ago. Zaro, who was a tall, sinewy frame of phenomenal strength, was born in Kurdistan and, in 1808 during the reign of Selim III, be came a sergeant in the guards. Since then he remembers the, reigns of Mahmud II, Mejid IV, Asia I.. Murad V., Abdul Hamid II, Rasad V., and some Caliphs whom he dismisses as of little conse quence because they only reigned a few years. Married three times. Zaro com plains that all his wives were short-lived. The first wSfe suc cumbed after thirty-two years of Connubial bliss, the second after twenty-eight, and the third after forty-two. His eldest son, a porter well known in Constantinople, d:ed a few years ago at the age of one hundred and ten. In grief at his death, Zaro set out to travel i around the world, but, on his ar rival in Italy, his digestion be came disturbed owing to the “ig norance about cooking,” displayed in that country and he returned to Constantinople. The Government granted him a I small house and a pension of about $20 weekly, and this permits him j to spend his days in a tiny cafe, ! where lie has been a regular cus-. | I omer for over one hundred years, Being a good Mussulman, Zaro i has never tasted alcohol. He dees not smoke, eats little meat, but consumes many pints of sour milk daily, and the doctors say he is in perfect physical condition, SCHOOL GIS I# TEXB MIKE HITS j ( Ry International News Service) San Antonio, Texas.—Indivi duality and frugality are the rea sons given by girl students of Brackenridge hiph scnool here for the decision to make their own chapeaux for the comihr season. Miss Elsie Jonas, who has charge of the sewing class, said that the girls arp going to devote their spare time to designing and mak ing their own hats this year. The great problem confronting the girls of today, according to Miss Elsie Jonas, sewing teacher, is the difficulty experienced in buying ready-made hats that are adapted to one’s personality and ; the contour of the head and face. “It is almost impossible to .buy a standard pattern in a hat to fit perfectly the contour and com plexion of the individual, and that | is where the girls who make theif * own hats have it over other girls,” Miss Jonas said. MOSCOW CELEBRATES DEATH OF CZAR’S CHIEF HANGMAN (By International News Service) Moscow.—Revolutionists of Mos cow are celebrating the death of the chief hangman of the Czar, Ivan Jabin, credited with having | presided at the execution of1 500 persons during his twenty years at the post of hangman under the old regime. Jabin wras awaiting trial under the retroactive clause of the Soviet law against counter revolution when he died. He had been confined in Butirka prison for several years. Butirka prison, by the irony of fate, was Jabin’s headquarters dur ing the last five years of his serv ice under the Czar.
