Tnia will be strictly adhered to. FRIDAY, JULY 22, 1927. TWINKLES “Blood in Nicaragua," reads a headline—Sure, the ma rines are also there. ' Ford may have apologized to the Jews but what about all the other folks he has jolted up one road and down an other ? __ , V To the North Carolina “firsts” R. I). W. Connor adds one: “We are braggingest people- in the world.” And we even brug about that at times instead of deploring. “It sounds good to hear about 18-cent cotton,” remarks the Raleigh News & Observer, but how much nicer noise it would have been along about last fall. Birds have long been good indicators of approaching weather changes, and noting the luck that has followed Com mander Dick Byrd one would say that his coming would sug gest rain. President Coolidge apparently believes that Aunt Het’s , mother-in-law philosophy also works well w^th presidents. Aunt Het says: “It aint hard to be a good mother-in-law if you’ve ever had any practice keepin’ your mouth shut.” The Shelby man who talks across the sea by methods of ■ the dot and dash is in one respect like Lindbergh. He dash ed across, y’know. In this day of divorce courts it is easy to understand why a’.i^th«i novels end “and they were married and lived happily thereafter.” It would be hard to illustrate the happiness of the*-d(vorce mill. . * Hotel men are staging an attack on the dry laws, dis patoheg have it. Ye Paragrapher has the idea that the hotel owjwrs^are becoming jealous of the bell hops who are making more money than they. A Monday morning headline informs» “Family Wiped Out At (Trade Crossings:” If they had been at home wiping the Sunday dishes following attendance at church perhaps the dishes would have received all tiie wiping.' “Lost Money Recovered By Newspaper Advertising,” reads a headline, and that’s not all for many merchants could use the same advertising and get their fingers on money they’ve never known to be in existence. t Byrd says it will be 10 years before the average person | i may make comfortable flights over the Atlantic.. Always K * classed as an average, or below person Ye Paragrapher u know.s. one of the ilk that will not make a comfortable trip over jn the air for a 100 years or so yet. America, the statisticians have it, spends $3 for luxur ies for every $1 spent for education. In other words if costs , $1 to educate a child up to spending three times that much for foolishness. And timidly enough we say that many three dollars are spent by gay youths whose fathers believe them away getting an education for the four dollars. . TAKE TYPHOID VACCINE. Three separate innoculations of typhoid vaccine cost * - very little as money goes and every person in Cleveland coun - - ty who hasn’t been vaccinated in several years should be at oAce. A dollar or so, a little soreness in the arm, and a slight headache is a small price as compared with your life, your * eyes, or a limb. , Typhoid fever isn't anything to be laughed at. If it shouldn’t prove fatal remember that in many instances the “ effects may linger, damage your eyes or some other portion > of your body. Vaccine is too much of a surety and a safe * guard at a miner cost, for any one not.to avail himself of the . opportunity. Be vaccinated today. Tomorrow it is possible that you could have the fever. A VERY GOOD PLAN. Hereafter when a building is erected in Shelby it must * 'be inspected and come after a building permit is issued. At a recent meeting city officials appointed a building inspec tor and it is stated that a building and zoning code for Shel by is now being prepared. That, when you get below the sur face and think of the future of the city, is good news. Shelby v is Iksyond the stage when buildings should be erected in a haphazard manner and style. Property is too valuable to be injured by the wrong building in the wrong place, and the ' fire risk is too great for some supf.'vision not to be exercis v ed in assuring safe buildings. The price of inspection and permits should be money well spent. The earlier a town * starts building right and safely the better the town will be v in the future and in the present. |4: v MOUNTAIN DESTRUCTION. '*Gerald Johnson, North Carolina’s native son who does a « good bit of good newspapers for the, Baltimore denizens, re * icently had an article in The Sun depicting the changes that '•have taken place in the North Carolina mountains due to *^progress. How automobiles spread dust and noise amid and , pver scenes that were once beautiful and beautifully silent. and so on. A philosophical fellow who takes a jaunt fre v fluently into the hill country—not for the same reason now that' he once did—read the article and passes out the infor mation that Gerald overlooked one big change. In days gone by when North Carolina wasn’t so widely broadcasted as a state of “firsts” there was a first that was known the coun try over—pure North* Carolina mountain corn whiskey. In - those days a “toddy” of Carolina cawn was calculated tp cure the worst of ills. No medicine was more dependable. But * |he progress of time brought the bootlegger and the cheaper methods of making dangerous booze in the towns, and the * tnountaipeers, at lpast those of the old type, no longer make their runs near the spring house. What’s more they’ve about lost their faith, those mountain people, in the curative quali fies of whiskey. Thi^ fellow, who wanders occasionally back in the coves where people are still primitive, honest, and above board despite the destruction of progress as related by Johnson, tells of camping recently with several friends a mountain section. A mountaineer who helped about * the camp was proffered a sip of ‘‘good booze” and after one swallow the plain-talking fellow remarked “I spoae’n you meant all right, partner, but doan offer that stuff to a man who has known good likker. It’s pizen.” And that, if Johnson knew the old mountain country as some did, is about the last remnant of the change his argu ment upheld. — THIS’N THAT — From the news dispatches it is learned that Company K, Cleveland county’s soldier boys, are making a good record at Camj) Glenn. It isn’t any news here at home that the company is made up of a fine group of husky lads, neverthe less the honors coming to them ar6 well received by home folks. One thing: the boys ought to be exhibited more at home. The day isn’t past despite the aftermath of the World War when men in khaki drilling isn’t a sight to attract at tention. The Lattimore section of the county already ranks high in agriculture and if the youngsters up there keep on being helped along in systematic and practical agriculture the rank will be even higher. Few better lessons are learned -than than those of seeing how the other fellow does it. A group of Lattimore boys with their agricultural teacher have re turned from a tour that must have been beneficial as well as entertaining. Insurance salesmen once were considered pests, but one of the educating tasks of the modern world is the removal of prejudice against certain things. Insurance once consider ed hardly worthwhile is now termed a necessity, and it is noted of recent weeks through the papers that Shelby has several alert citizens in the insurance business. Within a period of a month or so representatives of at least four com panies here have been honored by their companies for the large ament of insurance written by them. It also speaks well for the- town generally for it means that the children will have a chance instead of being unfortunate as many were before the days of insurance.. Dr. “Sib” Dorton, Shelby’s human dynamo, who will rate with Mai Spangler and a half dozen other hustlers as the hardest workers to be found, has done many things of con sequence since adopting the county as his home, but at the outset it appears that this new abattoir and city slaughter house will be a paying monument to about the biggest thing Dorton has put over—unless it be the county fair.* Every person likes to see things done, but many have an unpleas ant habit of waiting for “George to do it.” Dr. Dorton is a good substitute for the proverbial George. In the lower section of the county things move on so steadily little is heard about them. However, Grover is to install a new Presbyterian pastor Sunday and let a contract for an improved School building Monday. Those things count most in a steady march forward. Wonder what became of the fellows who predicted a summerless summer, and a dry summer? . * _I___-M___ - . _' .. ■ AUDITOR’S REPORT FOR THE SECOND QUARTER 1927 Salary Fund—Receipts Register of Deeds_ __ Clai k of Court___ ___ Sheriff___i._....
