-By Renn Drum THIS COLYUM ALONG WITH f other imaginative souls has lotjg la I bored under the belief that Shelby ; has within the city limits a person i age who has all the qualifications ol ! a movie star. Now that "Mote" Car 1 penter has attained the headlines , and a bit of limelight owing to the 'unfortunate discharge of a gun. it is to be hoped that some movie mag ! nate may hear of him and immedi , ately sign up the best natural ap pearing actor in existence. I "Mote's" peg-leg, his heavy eye brows. and his general appearance would take readily on the screen or we do not know our cinema gallic. John Barrymore in his best attempt, or loft Chaney with all his disguise and make-up would never equal "Mote” in playing a swashbuckling pirate role. If you’re not inclined to agree with us Just picture in your mind “Mote” with a long keeu bladed knife held between his teeth, n red bandana 'kerchief twined about his head, and the wooden leg ' pounding the wooden deck in a I frenzy. Buck Hardin lias so labored under the same impression that on one occasion lie persuaded Mote to put the knife between his teeth and look fierce. Shades of Long John j Silver! This, of course, is offered as a compliment to Mote and with the j hope that he can finally gain the eye of the movie makers and realize on a "natural-born” appearance that would do justice to any man who ever sailed on a treasure hunt. There is no desire to have another gun go off accidentally. HUMOR CREEPS IN MOST every incident. A local punster call ed up the other day and remarked . “About this recall business—I don't know whether I'm for it or against it. but I do want to know if they're planning to recall that dinner horn or. the city water tank? If they are I’m strong against it. My clock in the store stopped about the time the new administration got into office and I haven't needed one since be cause I’ve been feeding my face by the siren." / OSCAR CO Fit', WHO WR1TEC the “Shucks and Nubbins" colyum in the Greensboro News, will some of these days be crowned the classi cal jokester of the state. If the cor onation ceremonies are put oft for any length of time it will be because tho e Is usually a pLint to his puns. In a recent issue he urges that all get, M’eir seats early ioi Ule tag loot ball ga»ie of the year. The game is entitled "Civic Righteousness vs. Gov.

So far ns the coiyum has been able to observe the stove:; are itt demand very little. Report is that in Shelby the same stove received with the first shipment by one store is still in stock while goodness knows how J many shipments of the caned pro- ; duct nave been sold. Perhaps Coun ty Judge John Mull keeps the best record of sales. The cost of canned I heat usually is 20 cents per can plus a $10 fine and the court costs. Even tually It may sink in that it is as expensive ns bootleg. That is, if the j sinking in comes before the trip to the asylum. i THE WORLD PROGRESSES from the view point of the Afro American. There are four days of the Cleveland county fair and each day is set apart as special day, yet there Is no “Razor day.” Bob /iendriek is operating one of the to vis to and from the fair ground*. Sheriff Logan is proprietor of Bob's bus station. But, believe it or not, Bob says the colored folks at fair time behave as good as, or i better than the white folks.

One of the coinpletest wildcat, dis tilleries taken in this section n a long time was captured Sunday night by Prohibition Agent Evans I., Houser, assisted by Deputy Sner iff.s Clay Kiser. Sunnyside and,John Hord, of Waco. It consisted of a cap and ccpper worm, doubler, furnace and all the appurtenances requisite to a full-fledged whiskey-making ; plant In addition to the distiller itseU, , which was destroyed, there war. found also 350 gallons of beer and , eight gallons of liquor, which was also destroyed by the officers. This still was found in an aband oned dwelling on a place belonging to J. C. Grissom near the Gaston Cleveland line north of kings Mountain. Agent Houser slates, however, that the officers are con fident that Mr. Grissom, who is, a highly esteemed citizen of that sec-1 tion, had nothing to do with the still and had no knowledge of its existence. It had been in operation shortly before It was taken but the operator escaped. If there was ever a place that had to make hay while the sun shone, it is a summer resort. 1.
