CLEVELAND STAR Shelby, N. C. % Wednesday and Friday Subscription Price MONDAY, APRIL 4, 1027. TWINKLES. season was once famous for its June brides, 12 divorces were granted here in two horns, soon be better known by its April divorces. ib no hint of a boom, but the observant wiil note leant places about Shelby are filling up. A big house, and a $40,000 business building announced in two Dr. Copeland, the senator and advisor, together with iers of the medical advisory realm* may now step aside for |newspaperman who apparently knows what he is talking Jt via experience, the best source of all for advice. B. Lowrance, field secretary of the North Carolina news rs* ppines: “I do not believe good food hurts anyone.” prelude to the opinion: “I certainly did eat a plenty. Did feel any worse on account of doing this.” A TIMELY SATURDAY Several Shelby merchants have through logical reason decided upon the “best trading Saturday” of the mouth Shelby. Taking the cue from observation it is our guess the last Saturday in each month, or the Saturday before well-known “first Monday”, is Shelby’s best trading day. If you noticed last Saturday, or any other similar Sat jy, there were numerous young ladies about the feminine and stores of Shelby. They were buying dresses, j, Easter bonnets, and other feminine apparel. The real et of the day is to be ascertained a few hours earlier in morning. The scene being that of the county superin ident’s office, where the teachers of the county get their achers, and the county treasurer’s office, where they get sir checks. It is a considerable sum of money these teach spend in Shelby on monthly pay-day Saturdays and wise chants are profiting by their reasoning through adver ing their heaviest near the end of the month when the cher who is to get her check within a few days begin to about for the articles she will be in need of. GROWING IN SPRINGTIME A lanky, half-grown boy with his feet spreading and his is lengthening may have the chickenpox, or any other of jpjrous youthful ailments, but nevertheless after the ail period passes the youth continues to grow. Such growth only natural. A town with steady payrolls, increasing financial inter and a growing population may have a winter slump, ring-up period, but let spring time come along and the ip disappears along with the biting winds. Although the tire country, especially that dependent, or semi-dependent, agricultural matters seems to have been slightly below mal for a period the so called business slow-up in this see w»s more a matter of psychology. And even that per ita'ge vof the mental bugaboo seems to be disappearing i days. Shelby merchants report better sales to date at the same period last year, several of these same mer »nts anticipating their best business year in 1927. Homes still going up and building and loan associations are mak loans for more homes. Several .new payrolls are being led to the town’s weekly income. What’s more the news lumns of this issue tell of another fine, new business ructure. The last issue of The Star told of a big dub se for Cleveland Springs. Indication enough that Shelby mid-May will reflect as much real activity as that of last CROWDED COURT DOCKETS It is an evident fact that (he Superior court dockets of rth Carolina arc jammed and packed. Such reports 1 an ate from all sections of the state. The emergency, or ro” judges together .with the recent legislative attempt increase judges and solicitors are results of this condition, many of the larger, or heavy populated counties it would ry near take a full time court to keep the docket clear. In pmerous other counties the Superior court grind is usually iy cases behind. The present day courts have more than can handle in the regular terms, and extra terms being Jotted by the governor do not seem entirely able to cope fch the situation. may be otherwise in some of the counties but in the inion of this paper crowded court dockets in Cleveland arc in part due to the lack of support given to minor ts. As the memory serves county recorder's court and other minor courts were created with one of the rea ssigned to the fact that there courts would alleviate “big court” jam. Have they? Otherwise counties have county court and city police and like Cleveland the cases going up to Sunerior are so numerous that the court finds itself unable to e-anything like the entire docket scheduled to be dis of. It is noted in open court here, and also by way of jversation with local barristers, that a large number of the iy cases on the Superior court dockets come as appeals the county court. Of course, many cases must come to Superior court from the county court after a prelim ry hearing because the charges are beyond the jurisdie of that court, but a goodly percentage of the case com r up do not come up for that reason. Instead many of "he' cases are appeals. Perhaps if there are some method of having the de S, of the county court stick up the Superior dockets of state would clear up about as readily as by the extra t,plan. Meaning that with less work to do extra courts extra judges would not be necessary. If the county are for the purpose of dealing with minor matters the ultimate aim of lightening the Superior court work there should be some method of having this purpose fht to realization. Let the county courts handle county cases and let that be the final handling. Of course, person brought into the courtroom charged with an of has the open privilege of an American citizen of ap I, and continuing to appeal, until there are no higher to which an appeal may be made. But somehow or y&y this increasing bugaboo or more court' work than handled must be met. This proposed solution of put i curb on minor appeals from county courts', that take liderable Superior court time, usually with very little in the sentence, is only one way of wondering how the situation might be alleviated. How the proposal cotlkl be made to work is a matter for the astute lawmakers or bar associations to figure out. But nevertheless the county courts seem to be failing in one of their prime purposes and the failure can hardly be credited directly to the working of the court, but rather to the many appeals and responsibility for such. _____ Facing The Setting Sun-Alone The tragedy of life is the tragedy of helpless old age—alone on the sunset slope with all the family gone on ahead. But there is a remedy—the guaranteed monthly income, through which love triumphs over death. There is always the possibility that a woman someday will be alone in the world. Husbands, sons and loving daughters taken away by death. When her hands are feeble and trembling with age—right then— Through the Monthly Income ser vice of the Security Life & Trust Co., the man who would have been glad to give his life to help her if death had not taken him first, can take her hand in his and say: “You are alone, but do not be afraid.
