Smith Means G.O.P. Aid.
Charlotte. Sept. 5.—In a state
ment issued here tonight
Frank R. McNinch, anti-Smith
leader announced: "Senator
Simmons has just authorized me
to say for him that he has no
purpose or plans to take the
stump against Governor Smith
and had not authorized anyone

Greensboro. Sept 5.—Assurance
that Senator F. M. Simmons will
make "a few speeches at strategic
points in the state' i* his efforts
to detcat Governor Alfred E. Smith,
Democratic presidential candidate,
was given last week to W. M. Tye,
of Greensboro, editor of the Broad
Axe, anti-Smith weekly published
in this city, Mr. Tye stated follow
ing his return home front New Bern
where he conferred with North
Carolina’s senior senator.
While in New Bern the editor of
the Broad-Axe was a guest of the
senator and they conferred at
length regarding the political sit
uation. As a matter of fact, the
Greensboro man was the senator s
(tinner guest last Friday evening at
Simmons home, 72 F^ont street, and
toe returned to this city obviously
much pleased with the emphatic
stand which his host is taking in
the campaign to encompass defeat
of the Democratic nominee for the
presidency.
When the senator begins his
speaking campaign he will be un
equivocal in his platform stand of
opposition to the New' York gover
nor, it is stated. So far as can be
learned here, no definite speaking
engagements for Mr. Simmons have
yet been made, but confidence that
he will carry his views to the voters
is being expressed here.
While in conference with Sena
tor Simmons in New Bern Mr. Tye
was much impressed by the "splen
did health” of his host. "He is in
better health than at any previous
time in 20 years,” said the editor
of the “Democraic Broad-Axe.” It
was indicated that the senator will
be in fine fettle for vigorous at
tacks on Governor Smith.

Speaking Postponed
In South Shelby
The political speaking by Major
A. L. Bulwinkle, Peyton McSwain,
and Horace Kennedy scheduled to
take place in South Shelby Friday
night of this week has been post
poned for a week, according to an
nouncement by Chairman B. T.
Falls of the county Democratic ex
ecutive committee. The postpone
ment has come about because of re
vival meetings under v/ay in South
Shelby and an enlistment cam
paign. The speakings will be held
on Friday night of next wee-.:, how
ever, says Mr. Falls and Tic ether
engagements in the county will be
filled as scheduled.
Receives Scores Of Telegrams.
County Candidates En
dorse Stand
O. Max Gardner s stand an the
candidacy of Gov. A1 Smith and
his loyal support of the entire Dem
ocratic ticket, as set forth in his
opening address at Boone MonSay,
has met wide approval not only over
the state but in his home county.
County political leaders, county
candidates and party nominees yes
terday declared that they heartily
endorsed his liberal attitude. Some
of them, of course, were original
Smith men, but others in the coun
ty lists did not favor his nomina
tion, but are now like Mr. Gard
ner in standing to the ticket on
which they themselves are candi
dates. Along with Mr. Gardner
some of the county officials do not
agree with Smith on all of his per
sonal views, but the man’s clear
cut honesty and sincerity together
with the fact that he heads the
party for the interests rathg: than
the party of privilege draws their
support.
Many Messages
The Gardner office yesterday and
today was flooded with telegrams
from all sections of the states. They
came from Smith supporters, so-call
ed "State Democrats," and num
erous original anti-Smiths.
The following telegram from a
prominent North Carolina Demo
crat gives one of the best interca
lations of the reception of the
speech: “You have cleared the
way by your broad-minded, liberal,
yet firm position. You have not of
fended the fair and just element
of the anti-Smith faction and yet
have justified the faith of your
friends in Democracy and your
leadership. Every county, district
and state officer can find in your
speech high ground and broad base
for common acceptance. The
Democracy of North Carolina from
this date will go forward with de
termination to a great victory.”
Goes To Statesville
Hiursday night Mr. Gardner goes
to Statesville, one of the outsand
ing political centers of the state,
for his second campaign speech.
County To Sell
$25)000 In Notes
In this issue of The Star the
county is advertising the sale of
$25,000 revenue anticipation notes at
public or private sale. Bids will be
opened at 10 o’clock September 10
in the court house. These will be
short term notes in anticipation of
tax revenue to be collected this
fall. Of this amount $20,000 is for
schools and $5,000 is for No. 6 town
ship roads.
While the annual statement of
the county showed a surplus, none
of this money is available, because
it belongs to various road districts
or funds and is set aside to take
care of interest, bond due, main
tenance, etc.
Gcv. A1 Smith scoffed at reports
that although Kew Ycrh state would
vote for him for governor it would
not do so for President. Smith told
reporters that it was the claiming
season cf the year and Republicans
would claim everything.

ID TO CONVICT
BOOTLEGGER. SI
Quite A Task To Get Goods On
One, Local Officers Say.
Buyers Mum.
Catching a man with whisky and
connoting him of selling it are two
entirely separate tasks, according to
local officers and rum sleuths.
Known Bootleggers.
Discussing the whisky problem,
and the fact that many men prac
tically known to be bootleggers are
convicted only of possession, local
officers declared recently that the
odds are against them.
According to them a bootlegger
must be caught in the actual act
of making a sale cr t,he odds will
favor the bootlegger as far as con
viction for selling whisky is con
cerned when the case goes before
a Jury.
“A man who buys whisky is not
going to tell about it if he cai help
it, and that's what makes convic
tion hard,” they said.
Several times, they declared,
they have caught men, known to
them as bootleggers, with whisky
on their premises, but when it
comes to court the whisky is always
for home use unless an actual sale
can be shown.

Republican Machines Can Say
Nothing About Tammany Hall
Pots Can Hardly Call Kettles
Black. Some Have
Tammany Beat
Washington.—One of the things
that now seems pretty obvious in
this presidential campaign is that
the professionals are going to keep
away from the Tammany issue.
It's all right for the guerillas,
the camp followers and the unoffi
cial spokesmen to yell blue mur- j
der because the Democratic candi
date is a grand sachem of Tam
many Hall, but the boys who oc
cupy official positions of responsibil
ity will find other subjects to dis
cuss.
Apparently there is something
almost like a gentleman's agree
ment in effect, based on the the
ory that pots which live in black
houses shouldn't call kettles black.
For the sad truth is that de
spite the unquestionable probity
of the two presidential candidates !
and despite the undeniable noble ;
sentiments expressed in both ma- !
jor party platforms, both tickets'
must depend very importantly on
the support of political machines
which, if they are not corrupt, are
vinced of the wickedness of Tam
commonly supposed to be.
However firmly they may be ccn
many, the Republican campaigners
are faced by the painful fact that,
in recent years it has been the
wickedness of Republican machines
in big cities which has been getting j
all the publicity.
It is quite true that one can- !
not go many years back into Tam
many history without being forced
to call for oxygen tanks, but it is
also true that Tammany m recent
years has kept its face waslred
regardless of what anyone might
suggest about its neck.
One hears seme funny things
about Tammany’s habits in presi
dential years, about the late George ,
Brennan's tactics in Chicago, about:
Tom Taggart in Indiana and about
the Democrats in Boston, but it has
remained for the Republican ma
chines to prove themselves definite
ly as bad as painted.
All this, of course, dees not in
dicate any downright iniquity on
the part of the national political
organizations, nor does it mean
that the candidates are responsi- j
ble for the nature of the support
they have to have. But it does
show why the Republicans prob
ably will continue to go light on
| Tammany Hall and why the Demo
| crats, in turn, will not go publicly
poking into the sewers of its
rivals.
Both candidates are on record
against some of the worst features
which figure in the strength cf their
own parties. Governor A1 Smith, if
he has not completely renovated
Tammany, has at least been given
credit for fearless measures which
have wiped off considerable mud
and Svrcngvhencd its self-respect.
For many decades Tammany en
gaged in an unholy alliance with
the Few York silicons. but now
Smhh has come out ir.C: emphat
| ically against a return oi the sa
loon under any condition.
Hoover, meanwhile, is reported
to have decided to clean up the
scandalous state of the Republican
party in the South, which lives on
ly on patronage—bought and sold
—and is useful only to supply del
egates of more or less easy virtue
for manipulation at national con
ventions.
New Equipment Is Set In Motion
For Larger And Better
Newspaper Here.
Today's Star is printed for the
first time on a Goss rotary, 24-page
press which has a capacity of 20,
000 paper an hour up to 12 pages
andlO.OOO an hour up to 24 pages.
For four weeks Mr. John MacDon
ald of the Duplex factory has been
engaged with a number of other
men in erecting the new press and
Mr. Ksnnell of the Certified Dry
Mat Corporation in New York is
here for the week teaching the me
chanical department force in the
operation of the stereotype depart
ment.
Today's Star is 12 pages with
many features that have not been
carried before, such as “Gus and
Gussie”, one cf the best comic strips
available, a sport feature, spot news
photographs and fashion, with other
features to be added later. The
print may not be as clear as it will
be later when all the adjustments
are made on the press.
Changing from printing direct
from type to printing the paper
frem stereotype plates has involved
no little work and worry. It will be
a week or two before the mechani
cal department gets into the swing
of handling the new system.
In addition to the press, The Star
has finished a building to the rear
of its building to house the printing
and stereotype equipment with a
basement underneath where a car
load of paper is kept in storage. The
press is driven by a 25 horsepower
metor.
A Ludlow typesetting machine
was also recently installed -which
sets large type for news headings
and advertisements. The two lino
types are not displaced, being used
just the same as usual, operating
day end night to give The Star sub
scribers the "best paper in North
Carolina outside the daily field."

Mrs. Hamrick joined the church
while young and was a consistent,
faithful member, and very kind and
loyal in serving her church and her
community during her 77 years. She
had been seriously sick for only
about one week although due to her
age she had been in failing health
for several years. Her husband died

three daughters— R. H., Claude F.,
and G. R. Hamrick, of Jefferson
ville, Ga., and T. G. Hamrick with
whom she lived, Mrs. H. N. Smith
and Mrs. B. M. Proctor, of Shelby,
and Mrs. Ora Bowen, of the Sharon
Section. Six children are dead.
Surviving also are 35 grand chil
dren and 14 grgat grand children.
Officers Get Two
In Raid At Night
Odell Grigg And Jess Green, Blind
Man, Arrested On Liquor
Charge.
About 3 o'clock Tuesday raorn
ing Policeman McBride Poston and
Rufus Sparks halted beside a park
ed auto at the bridge on highway 20,
east of Shelby near Kings filling
station, and found there, they say,
Jess Green, blind man, of Eastside,
in the car under the influence of
an intoxicant.
Secreting themselves nearby the
officers waited a time until two
others appeared on the scene. One
of the two, said to be an escaped
convict, made h.s geiavway but the
other, Odell Grigg was captured.
A quart of whiskey was nabbed in
the haul.
Grigg, who has quite an exten
sive court record, was tried before
j Judge John P. Mull Thursday
: morning, just a few hours after his
capture, and given six months on
the gang. Green asked that his
' case be continued for a few days.
Distaster Injured
Improving, Stated
The five people who remain in
the hospital as the result of injur
ies sustained in the building collapse
here a week ago yesterday con
tinue to improve, according to re
ports from the hospital at 1 o’clock
t this afternoon.
j “All are getting along as nicely
as could be expected, although with
j some of them improvement is neces
| sarily slow,” it was stated.
The hats worn by Mrs, Hoover
end Mrs. Smith Will probably in
fluence the woman vote more than
the speeches of the two candidates.
-Louisville Times
r»as Man To Head County’* Firsi
Junior College. Big En
rollment Already.
Dr. J. B. Davis, of Cleburne.
Texas, has been selected presi
dent of Bolling Springs junior
college, it was announced yes
terday following a meeting of
the board of trustees of the
new Baptist college in the
county.
Dr. Davis, who will report at the
:ollege next week, graduated at
Mars Hill, took his A. B. degree at
Wake Forest, his M. A. at the Uni
versity of North Carolina, end will
get his doctor’s degree next year
from the Southwestern Theological
seminary, and has already com
pleted his residential work for his
doctor of philosophy degree.
Tbgpight Good Pick.
Trustees of the school and prom*
inent Baptists of the section are
highly pleased with the choice and
it is thought that the first presi
dent of Boiling Springs will meet
with the general approval of ths
Baptists of the section who are
supporting the new college.
Opened Today.
Boiling Springs junior college
opened its doors for its first year's
work as a college today. The open
ing address was made by Dr. Zeno
Wall, pastor of the Shelby iHrst
Baptist church.
Already it is said the enrollment
has reached the quota required to
make of the school a standard jun
ior college. Officials of the board
and others interested in the school
say that the prospects are fine for
one of the best junior colleges in
America, considering that for the
Baptist denomination the college
could not have been located at a
more favorable point than amid this
strong Baptist section where scores
of boy* and girl* complete high
school work each year.
What? Reward
For Honesty?
Ebeitoft, Who Trusts Others, Is
Rewarded. First Experience
To Him.
Ebeitoft, the bookstore proprietor,
has for years trusted Shelby end
Cleveland county people. Fra: years
untold people well acquainted witn
him have passed behind the count
er, picked out their own Tn«gajtn«g
and papers, and on occasions hay*
made their own change.
But this week fra: the first time
in his several score years of busi
ness here Ebeltoft’s own honesty
was rewarded. Occasionally he has
made mistakes in sending reporta
to the book and magazine agencies
he serves, and quite often they-have
made mistakes in checking him up,
but always when the mistake be
came evident Ebeitoft would write
them, whether the mistake was his
way or their way. Last week several
numbers of a certain magazine
were not sold and as is customary
the bookstore man sent out the
covers back so that he might be
credited with unsold copies. The
covers sent back totalled only three,
according to his records, but
shortly later there came a message
from the magazine publishers that
he had been credited with 10 cov
ers instead of three. Whereupon
Ebeitoft again wrote them that it
was only three. Then came thefinal
letter. “As a manifestation of our
appreciation for your Integrity,” the
letter read, "we are giving you
credit for the 10 covers as we
corded it instead of the three covers
your records show.”
Grading Finished
On Highway No. 206
Grading of highway No. 206 from
the Mike Borders home on the
Cleveland Springs road through
Waco in the direction of Cherry
ville cn the Gaston county line, has
been finished, except for some
bridge approaches and abutments,
it is understood from highway en
I gineers. Top soil has been put down
| in places and local travel turned
on but no through travel has been
' permitted to go through as yet. It
will be some time before the
bridges are completed and the en
tire road is top sailed. The new roqg
follows a different route from the
old road and eliminates the rail
road crossings.
Misses Ruth and Mary Hunter at
Charlotte have been spending some
j time here with Mrs. U C. Panose.
