April 1, is still April 1. This county manager plan may not he so successful after all. Over in Iredell it is noted that the new manager is go ing over the old tax books with the set idea of having every body pay up. Shelby is getting sophisticated. Heretofore hereabouts one of the species was always referred to as a "storebreak er,” “robber,” or “thief,” but a nearby city credits us with havifig a “Yegg.” It is a little late to mention it but perhaps if this coun try could ship its Chinese tong wars back home some of the trouble over there might be automatically eliminated as well as a botherance over here. ..— ■ " * e J . Once was an epidemic of smallpox was the talk of a section. But the world moves along and it takes a real cala mity to butt in the daily conversation. Physicians say that practically every section of this county has its case, or cases, of smallpox yet one hears very little of it in the daily con versation. * , 1|- Watch out for another pessimistic suicide. A Baltimore writer gets sarcastic about the balmy springtime so many folks rave about. There's something wrong with a fellow Who does not enjoy a mild day and a night that is cool -enough to make the drawing up of a blanket a pleasure. Perhaps, though, all weather is not like that of Piedmont Carolina. A newspaper in recently trying to stir up baseball m its „town jpf publication spoke of the advertising qualities of summer baseball by referring to the days when Shelby and ’Kings Mountain, owing to their baseball activities, were the *fc»lk of Piedmont and Western Carolina, Shelby and Kings "Mountain again, however will not get enthused over having that kind of advertising. ANOTHER COUNTY PAPER The initial issue fo the Kings Mountain News, emanat ing from The Cleveland News formerly published here, com ing to this desk proves to be a real newsy newspaper, we1! *!ifranged, and neatly edited. Milton Tiddy, former publish of The Cleveland News here, is business manager, and . L. IJermlon is editor. The paper carries quite a quantity of Kings Mountain s and has a good run of advertisements. Generally king it is a creditable first issue. RUNNING THE COURTS. This paper has an .admiration for the manner in which kludge P. A. McElroy runs his courts. There is very littlej •play, grandstanding, and foolishness. Instead the court en it convenes gets down to business and sticks to it. judge McElroy disposes of cases much lik > Judge E. Y. Webb >f the Federal bench, and ther^ b'tt'e lo>t motion and very few needless words in Judge Webb’s court. N That’s the proper way to operate a court and it cuts n the expenses, clears the dockets and jails.' A little Rimor here and there ente'tains the gallery, but we have thows for entertainment and taxpayers who want to spend ||ejtr money for shows may not care to have it spent for a of wasted time in a court room. I E ACHES ANI) EDITORS At a distance one had gained the opinion that Editor 0. Honeycutt, of the Stanley News-Herald, liked to work ;ter than it is now revealed he does. Anyway, what about s editorial item in his paper: “Too bad. Peaches Browning who is now legally dc red separated from her millionaire husband, must go to rk for a living. That old girl had best have held on to a >d thing while she had it. for an affectionate old man with [lions beats working for a living.” An affectionate old man with millions beats working for iving in some cases perhaps, but much depends upon the 'eetionate old man and one’s attitude towards work. The ws-Herald editor we would wager could not be bought to !er newspaper publicity for |pme millionaire, but still Mid he consider it metter to press-agent a charitable, old [Uonaire than to get out and hustle for a bare living as >st of us newspaper folks do? Not hardly, we say, know r Mr. Honeycutt. The Peaches affair as he puts it is not so unlike the in lint cited. Of course, details may differ. For today’s Star we had just written an editorial on ttlng a railroad,” speaking of course of our prospects of a Motion with the Piedmont and Northern. Our hopes fcjligh and we had great confidence, but this confidence ijgbiicause us to let up in oar efforts to present our claims. SplJfcbefore the “getting a railroad” was in type, the sad ||foappointing news comes that it will not touch Shelby. $09. Yprit yesterday the officials voted to build south of Bunn line of the Southern. §Eruly it is disappoinment. A railroad is built so SipHjife feel that our chances for better facilities are van-' j|for a generation. We know some of the officials were ; japs to connect with Shelby, but the evidence was against i To come to Shelby would have necessitated the crossing J he Southern at Kings Mountain and again at Spartan-! gittldift was this that the builders wanted to avoid. They , Ipfiwff a big broad view of the matter and no doubt have §|$pr connection with the Pennsylvania at Winston |£tnd another line in Georgia or Florida which will give rattrunk road from the North to the Florida peninsular. fflp. counteract our los» in this railroad connection, we ■pSeuble our efforts for more state paved highways. toy aside all modesty, forget political aspirations ■nMjfo/knd with every ounce of influence that we possess LOSING A RAILROAD. ys Nos. 18, 205 and 206 be paved their full s we are entitled to receive and have a better ect it because our money builds highways and sy builds railroads. GETTING JOSEPHUS WRWONG. Somewhere the wires must be crossed. And the result may be that Josephus Daniels, former secretary of the navy, | will have himself minconstrued in one way or another. During the past week-end and into this week news dis patches over this state, travelling under a question mark, J wonder if Mr. Daniels isn’t working for a place on a wet ticket along with A1 Smith. He isn’t acting so dry as he once did, the dispatches add, and editorials from another Raleigh oaper other than that published by Daniels are cited to show that some such is up. Meanwhile the Hearsts papers up in New York came out; last week with a secondary streamer head saying as how members of the old Woodrow Wilson cabinet were at war with each other. And therein comes the contrast of these odd dispatches: Daniels was reported to be at odds with Burle son because Burleson was showing too many wet tendencies contrary to the peace of the departed Wilson and the re maining cabinet members. That’s odd. The wires, as we said before, must be | crossed, and Daniels is getting the static in the neck. Maybe some of it is because a lot of other editors never became ' secretary of the navy and have very little likelihood of get | ting on a presidential ticket in any form. Developments on one side or the other are awaited with j ! interest. EASY TO DIE HERE Shelby is an easy town to die in. Not that the writer has ever experienced that final thrill, but still there are occa sions when death approaches one that a goodly percentage of the public seems to want to get the job over speedily and turn to something else. In recent weeks several citizens of the town have been seriously ill. Some have died and others are living as yet, but more than likely every one of the lot has been reported dead. It would be a great benefit to the general public .if someone would run down the origin of such misrepresenta tive rumors in Shelby and see that the perpetrator is justly punished. Not long since it was reported about town that a citizen, then sick, had died or was near death. Apparently the next person told it that the citizen was dead. The next fellow told it to a half dozen or more and they in turn spread it to their families and business associates. Within a few* hours everybody in towrn practically knew the citizen to be dead except the citizen himself and his family. Newspaper queries brought the information that the death report was erroneous yet those on the streets could hardly believe it after hearing otherwise. Yes, Shelby is an easy town to die in. A few minutes before you kick off—that may not be a correct term but Webster now says bump off is—someone may come in and report to you that you are already dead, or may as well be for everybody uptown thinks you are. The occasion may come when you are the one about whom reports are circulated, or perhaps a vrgnber of your family. Rcmomber that and the next report you hear try to verify it before passing it along as a fact. Shelby is too good a town to live in to have death passed around so lightly. Gaffney, Mar. 20.—The protest of Ed II. DeCamp, editor of the Gaffney Ledger, was dismissed by Cherokee county election commis sioners today oil the ground that the body was without jurisdiction i i asmuch as Dr. Hamrick, had al ready been issued a certificate of election as senator from this coun ty. No testimony was taken, al though a stenographer was present for that purpose'. Mr. DeCamp was represented hv hv J. S. Verner, of Columbia: R. B. Banon, of Union, and T. K.

INVENTOR OK OCARINA FALLS 40 FEET TO DEATH (By International News Service)' Rome.—Luigi Silvestri, the irrj ventor of the ocarina, the humble pear-shaped instrument which has j delighted or distracted so many ! thousands of people, has just died at Camisano di Vicenza in tragic! circumstances. Silvestri, who was 87, was calk ed to the balcony of his hou^e on the last day of the Carnival by an admiring crowd of fellow citizens, many of whom were playing the i instrument which made him rich and famous. ; While acknowledging the greet-1 ings of the crowd he lost his bal-j ance and fell forty feet into the j street, dying immediately , ---- The combination of materials afford a now note in the spring costumes.
