Thanksgiving Let ms be thankful—not alone because Si*|Cc last our universal thanks were told Wc‘have grown greater in the world’s ap ■ p plduso. And fortune’s never .smiles surpass the old—'. But thankful for all things that come as alms From out the open hands of Providence:— The winter clouds and storms—the summer calms— The Sleepless dread—the drowse of in dolence. Let us be thankful—thankful for the prayers Whose gracious answers were long, long delayed, That they might fall upon us unawares. And bless us, as in greater need we prayed. * * * And let us, too, be thankful that the tears Of sorrow have not all been drained away, That through them still, for all the coming years, We may look on the dead face of Today. —JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY * Many Children Have No Shoes For School Wear Christinas Storking Fund Put Shoes On Numerous Shelby Children Soon. When you laced his shoes, button ed his coat, patted him on the head [ and started him to school this morn- 1 ing—that boy of yours—did it occur j to you that right here in Shelby are j numerous tots who have no shoes to . wear to school? The Star's Chrifcyjj^j^Stocking . fund, which will be openecHtlTLs week hopes to see that every child in Shelby has a comfortable pair of shoes to wear during the remaining winter months. And in homes where there is not enough money to buy shoes there seldom is enough money to buy flour and coal. The orphan ages and public institutions do not ; take care of all our pitiful cases. Many a mother with her fatherless ; children is too proud to ask for aid. but she would not feel any rebuff I if some kind Santa left for her chil dren the things she would like to ! give them but cannot. It will be an aimost universal prayer Christmas eve as little tots i the world over kneel and ask their Maker not to let Santa forget this | and that. Your children may kneel I in a steam-heated room and in the ! morning expect to find that for fwhtch they asked, yet except for the ' hope in the childish breasts the morning will bring little other than disappointment for a score of chil dren in Shelby unless you and others i nice you "chip in" on the fund that I will make it a city-wide Christmas in Shelby. Monday afternoon when The Star reaches your home will there be a list of givers to the fund in the pa per? If so, will your name be in the list? Your own boy will be glad to j know that his Santa was a real i Santa. Mrs. P. C. Graham Died At 1 Today Mother of Mrs. Florence Graham Phifer Died on Sumter Street Of Paralysis.

Ohw4ott*r bootleg- ! ger. charged with shooting Henry Mosley, Mecklenburg policeman, on September 26, but continued final action on the writ of habeas corpus until December at Charlotte. At that time, the court indicated, the mat ter will be determined very largely by the condition of Mosley. Dr. T. C. Bost, of the Presbyterian hospital, where Mosely is a patient, testified that the officer’s condition is serious with about an even chance for recovery or death. Acute nephri tis has developed as a condition re sultant from the v.ounds, said the doctor. Attorneys E. R. Preston and H. L. Strickland for Padgett requested that an outside physician be per mitted to examine Mosely. Judge Harding named Dr. John C. Mont gomery, his owfn family physician, to make such examinations as he might desire. Jimmy Reynolds To Succeed Mr. Pippin Lakeland.

McMurry and j May Washburn. Prv .byterilan Church So Have Only Uptown Service. Many Attend Football Games Indications here today were that j Shelby and the section would exper- : ience a rather quiet Thanksgiving ' tomorrow. So far as can be learned there ; will be only one uptown church ser vice. This will be at 10 o'clock at the Presbyterian church and will be conducted by Rev. H. N. McDiarmid. the pastor.

Scares of football fans will trek to various turkey day games. Trip Duke-Davidscn clash at Davidson, only one and one-half hour's drivel will likely draw the largest Shelby crowd, although many old grads left today for the Carolina-Virginia classic at Chapel Hill. Likewise many State college followers will be in South Carolina for the State South Carolina game, and many , Baptists will see the Wake Forest Mercer clash at Asheville. The game between Dick Gurley's Lenoir Rhyne eleven and Eion at Hickory will also draw a number. And’ of course there will be the usual rab bit-hunters. Otherwise a quiet day is in prospect. Dr. McBrayer To .luiniafctya- Clinic! The many friends in Shelby of i Dr. Reuben McBrayer will hear with ! pleasure of a recent promotion of • his in the medical profession but will regret that the step up will remove him from Shelby where he has practiced his profession for sev eral years. While at Rochester. 5 Minn., recently Dr. McBrayer re ceived an appointment to the med | ical staff of the Mayo clinic, per 'haps the best known clinic in Ameri j ca. The acceptance of the appeint ! ment means that Dr. McBrayer will ! have to be in Rochester by January I 1. to enter upon his duties with the j i new clinic." j Mrs McBrayer. w-ho has been iak I ing a rest treatment for some time (has returned to her home here1 | muchly improved in health and will ! accompany Dr. McBrayer, the exact ! date of their departure not having 1 been decided as yet. Already 51,000 Raised—Set Goal of $2,000 for Thomasville Orphanage. Already the congregation of the j First Baptist church has raised $1 ! 000 fcr the Thomasville Baptist ! Orphanage and it is expected with i in two weeks the fund will reach i $2,000. which includes approximately j $600 which is raised by collections | taken each first Sunday for the or I phans. A goal of $1,400 has been ! set as a special Thanksgiving offer ! ing and last Sunday the fund reach - | ed the $1,000 mark. If the $400 is j raised, the First church will have ! contributed $2,000 during the year to the orphanage which includes the $600 taken in during the year in the special collections on the fourth Sunday in each month. The First Baptist churcli is one of the largest contributors to the Thomasville orphanage. Last year the church was the second in the state. A few years ago it stood first in amount contributed. Local Bap tists have a particular fondness for the Thomasville orphans and have always been very generous to this cause. This is not only due to the fact the local Baptists have a soft spot in their hearts for the father less and motherless children, but because Mr. Fuller B. HamricK. a Shelby boy, is bursar of the institu tion and has given the better part of his life to the welfare of the or phans there. Mr. and Mrs. H. Y. Gold and Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Williamson, of Gas tonia. spent the day Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Pleas Cabiness near Zion. - ' PEOPLE SOON FORGET H ':i * W i*<lryr'*L •' '•"' 'V 'I Department Mailing 70,000 Auto Cards Per Day To Auto Owners For Tags. Raleigh. —Notification cards, bearing the name, address, license |nd motor number of every present pj to mobile owner in the state are , now going out at the rate of 70,000 a day to these automobile owners, in preparation for the sale of the 1028 automobile license plates, which begins December 1, according to Sprague Silver, chief of the auto motive division of the state depart ment of revenue. More than 400, 000 of these cards will be mailed out in the next eight days, and should reach every car owned by! December 1. ' We are expecting some com- j plaints, however, from those who1 do not receive these cards, owing j to cnange in address, although | these changes should have been re- . ported to the bureau,'’ Mr. Silver ' said. "Zut if those who do not re ceive their cards promptly, will .notify us and of any change of ad dress, we will send new cards at ) once." . The records of the automobile division this year are believed to be tnore complete and correct than at any time yet, since the law requires y.hat any change in the ownership of a car must be recorded immed iately upon its sale or resale. Where this has not been done, the trans fer fee must be paid and all the ;ecords brought up-to-date before a new license will be issued. The new licenses will go on sale December 1, and can tie obtained either at the department offices in j Raleigh, or at any of the 36 sub-, stations maintained by the Caro lina Motor club. All that is neces sary is to produce the notification card received in the mail, with a check, cash or money-order for the amount for the license, and the new license can be obtained. The cost of licenses this time will 1 be double what they cost in July, j since the new licenses will be for ' the entire year of 1928, instead of j lor only six months, and will range ! trom $12.50 for automobiles of 25 ‘ horsepower or less, to $40 for cars j of 35 horsepower or more, for pas i sehger cars, an $15 to $200 for j trucks, depending upon capacity I and weight. School District Boundary Given Some understanding has develop ed relative to the division by the school election to be held in No. 7 township on December 12. In or der that this may be made clear the following statement is made: According to the county-wide plan all the territory east of Sandy Run creek (Bridges Pork) is to be added to Lattimore. The territory west of this line will be added to Moo res - boro. SECT-. CO. BOARD. County Cotton Crop Far Ahead Of Last Year Now Report Shows 38,987 Bales Ginned Up to November 21. May Near Last Year. The optimists who made their guesses on this year’s cotton crop seem to have it on the pes simists. Up to November 21, ac cording to a report issued today by Miles Ware, special agent, ,M,' j 887 bales of cotton had been ginned in the county. Up to the same date last year only 34,033 bales had been gin ned, which is 4,954 bales ahead of last year.

"Then let the good old crops adorn The hills our lathers trod; Still let us for His golden corn Send up our thanks to God." True thanksgiving is the attitude of tlie soul. The Mississippi river always runs south, though it has many turns and curves. True grati tude is the flow of the soul God ward. The worries and cares of life make many eddies and turns; out flow on, O immortal soul, in the heavenly course. The Jews hung their untuned harps on the willow tree, whose mournful branches wept with them. Every great soul that battles for the right comes to such times and places. But the darkest night has a dawn. It is best for rainy days to come in our lives. Job had a sunny, glorious day, after midnight dark ness. "I thank Thee lor both smile ana frown. And for the gain and loss; I praise Thee for the future crown And for the present cross.” The Pilgrim fathers kept the first Thanksgiving at Plymoth Rock, at the gathering in of the first crops. Since 1863 the last Thursday in No vember has been designated as Na tional Thanksgiving day. David, the immortal harpist ooens and closes the Psalms w1th praise. The first word is Blessed. The last call is “Praise ye the Lord." In November the Harvests are gath ered. , Thanksgiving brings praise and good cheer; We thank the good Lord for the blessings He sends us all through the year.” “Ingratitude, thou marble-hearted fiend." Thus sang the myriad-minded poet, lor all hearts in all ages. Grati tude turns the soul of sunny spaces It tunes the heart to the Master's love. Grace and gratitude run through the Bible lilce golden threads. Like the angels on Jacob's ladder, as the Father's gifts (Some down, our gratitude should ascend to the Father of all good. "Count your many blessings, Name them one by one, And it will surprise you What the Lord hath done.” WIDOW, MOTHER OF 2 IS WED TO YOUTH, 16 Raleigh —With her two children one just learning to walk and ditch ing to her skirt, Mrs. Josie S.

Bub Kendrick Catches Jim Sargent' In No. 8 Township. Denies lie Hit Officer Here. An aftermath of the Dover - Schenck assault affair seems in prospects now that Jim Sargent, ne gro. is in the county Jail awaiting a hearing in his alleged hand in tjie affair.

Sargent was found picking cotton in No. 8 by Officer Kendrick* but when arrested denied that he nad anything to do with the attack on the policeman. Asked as to where he had been, the negro told the officer that he had been "around up In the mountains keeping out of sight,” adding that when he heard Schenck was assaulted by the officer he was afraid he would get the Same thing if found although he had nothing to do with the attack.
