NERVOUSHEADACHE Kentuckian Tells How Taking Black-Draught Relieved His Fains and How Well He Feels Now. Waynesburg, Ky.—How a few Rioses of Thedford’s Black-Draught j brought relief to a man who had been suffering from frequent spells of severe headache, is told below in ■the statement of Mr. Charles F. Todd, of Estesburg, near this place. “I was suffering with nervous ■headaches. About once a week I would have these headaches, and have to quit work, and go to bed for | about twenty-four hours. I would i have pains in my neck, and right behind my right ear. ‘A merchant at Estesburg saw me one day when I was suffering, and told me to try taking Black Draught, wliich I did. T took a package home that Slight, and took a few doses. It relieved me. From that time on, 2 would take Black-Draught as soon us I felt like I was going to have one of Uiose headaches—and they Wouldn’t come on. ‘Every few weeks, I take three or four doses of Black-Draught, and I feel so well, and do my work, - and don't lose any more time with headache. ‘I haven't had a headache In six months,” POUTli EDITOR SPEEDS On Ministers (BY RF.NN DR I'M.1 SOME PEOPLE WONDER WHAT a newspaperman does, or does not do. when he gets into court. At least one newspaperman in this sec tion answers that question He pub lished what the court does to him just like he publishes what it dor's to the other fellow All of it is news. A recent issue of the Gastonia Gazette carried a headline: "Gas tonia Editor Fined For Speeding." The item opened "Jas. W Atkins, managing editor of The Gazette, was arrested in Forest City last Thursday and fined $10 and cos*. $26.05 for speeding. This colyum has always held Edi tor Atkins high in regard. And now the respect for his policy of pub lishing the news as it happens has decreased not a whit. RD— ANOTHER SHELBY SLOGAN — an adopted cne—isn't so bad! It's on the contractor's sign at the new hotel structure, and reads: "Stout Structures Stand." Mr. Stout by the way, is the contractor. Speaking of slogans some punster asked Dr. DeWitt Quinn recently it “just a whisper ..." Couldn't mean “speakeasy.” —RD— SOME WEEKS BACK A NEWS paper queried Shelby ministers as to their stand on A1 Smith, and the ministers replied, in meaning at least, that they were not politicians Since that time, so far as the public generally knows, local ministers have not been dragged into poli tics—for which many people are thankful; people who get disgust ingly'full of politics in six week days. However, our grapevine wireless— a thing in the sewing circles as "a little bird told me,” informs that one or two uptown ministers have been urged by some members to climb into the pulpit and literally “tear their shirts" in denouncing one, if not both, presidential candidates. Whether the ministers do sc, or not. is admittedly no business oi this, coiyum. Frankly, from the newspaper standpoint such a move would make first class "page one" news. And no newspaperman has been known to run away from that. IF they do or do not get into the political controversy it is the col vum's opinion, knowing them, that they will have taken the move they think best for the spiritual welfa-e of the community and not the poli tical welfare. Somehow, though, we cannot help but believe that if every person who figures on making Heaven in par really does so there will be a dozen or so folks who will want another dozen or so read out of the pearly gates because of a difference in political opinions down here in this wabbly world. —RD— IF THIS BESSEMER CITY minister, who collapsed in his pul pit, had been preaching for A1 Smith instead of against him won der if some folks ivouldn't have seen It as the Invisible Hand at work? —RD— IT IS A MATTER OF COMMON knowledge that more “dopes” ar° guzzled in Shelby than any other beverage—We refer, of course, to non-alcoholic refreshment. But what soda fountain drink is th.; second favorite? “Casey" Morris, the athletic fountain proprietor, says that chocolate milks rank second and the veteran soda slingers of the city agree with him for the most part. Someday, perhaps, the manufac turers of carbonated beverages and such will start a straw vote to de cide, but so far the “dope" is run ning ahead of the ticket and the colored lactus ranks second—and considering the number of “dopes ’ sold, a poor second —BO WMEN. OR BEFORE, L. C. BOST gets his new bakery into operation J. A. Wilson, who sojourned last winter in Cuba and Florida, intends to have the local baker try his hand at making a bread that will not mold or get musty. Not that Mr. Bost's better bread molds readily, but Mr. Wilson while in Havana purchased a loaf of white Cuban bread which he brought back homp. and although it has not been in a cool place since January 15, the bread, as far as being musty or muggy, is just as fresh as it was when baked. Housewives of Shelby will no doubt await the Bost-Cuban experiment with interest. —RD— SHELBY BOY SCOUTS WHO have been in encampment at the foot of the blue ridge mountain chain and by the rippling waters of Lake Lanier at Tryon have returned home husky, taned, strong-lunged, and clean both physically and morally. As far as the colyum knows every scout in Shelby may have already spent a week or so at the Tryon camp, but if there are those who have not it is our opinion that the Kiwanians and Rotarians of Shelby should see that those who haven’t been get to go. There may be quite a number of the boys who cannot even afford the small expenditure of a week in the summer scout camp, and it would be a mighty good investment in humanity for the booster clubs to get every scout I New Bethel Revival Meeting Clones Mrs. MeMurry III— Personal Items Lawndale.

Everything went off nicely If only the table had been 100 feet instead of 80 feet. There were plenty of food to have filled it and the crowd would not have bet n jammed so in eating However the food was eaten and enjoyed.
