CONSIDER
Your Children’s
Eyes.
If a child's sight is imperfect,
glasses should be obtained im
mediately. If this is done the
child usually grows out of the
trouble.
Children who frown when
reading, who complain of head
ache, or whose eyes seem red or
inflamed, should be treated with
out delay. Let me examine your
child’s eyes and furnish glasses
If needed.

535.1 CIO
To Editor of The Star:
Last week I sent in report of a
gala occasion when Polkville Me
thodist church was dedicated in a
sermon of remarkable power and
discrimination by the old warhorse
of Methodism, Rev. R. M. Hoyle;
and another Methodist Boanerges,
Rev. J. A. Cook, who featured as a
church builder and organizer. Men
tion was made of the original frame
structure reared in 1893; and of the
neat, modem spacious brick building
that maintains a flourishing S. S.,
an Epworth league, and the mem
bership is conspicuous for its zeal
and devotion.
On yesterday, October 28. 1928, I
acted in the role of walking dele*
gate and visited Palm Tree Method
ist church, which has a modern
brick edifice almost completed; de
voted to Christian worship; which
should be a source of pride to any
town of 10,000 population in Cleve
land county. When completed and
dedicated, a write-up and picture
of building will be forthcoming.
Suffice it to say in this connection,
that the cost will exceed 835.000;
and a great deal of the labor and
material has been voluntary. A
good Sunday school is an evergreen
institution; as well as a good choir
and Epworth league of same var
iety. This is fifth church building
erected by the present generation
and their forbears.
The site of first temple of Chris
tianity for this body of believers,
was something near two hundred
yards from the splendid brick edi
fice that calls the reverent proselyte
of Methodism; as well as the way
faring man who makes no claim to
piety, to prayer. Palm Tree em
braces a history dating back to the
time when the martial circuit rider
was a man on horseback, who
preached the unsearchable riches
when bullies tried to stampede the
services by ruffianism and drunken
orgies; and the martial evangel of
good tidings was a true soldier of
the cross, who quelled the rebellious
sons of Belial by apostolic blows,
and would swim nis horse across a
raging river to fill an appointment.
His horse was his means of locomo
tion, and his headquarters were in
the saddle. Through perils of flood
and fever, in danger of robbers and
ruffians; these martial soldiers of
the Methodist and Baptist churches
fought the good fight of faith until
in the Valley of Shadow they saw
the dawning glories of the Celestial
city. Now, by the Eternal, they are
going to continue their warfare Jm
favor of righteousness, temperance
and judgment to come—and no man
shall gainsay that exalted, blood
brought privilege.

! Newspaper Makes
Attack On K.K.K.
: Says Ku Klnx Klan. Born Of Ignor- j
ance, Coils To Strike
Now.
Greensboro Record.
The United States of America!
; has reached something beyond a
1 mere deplorable state of mind, or j
! mental inertia, as one pleases, when j
! a wholly un-American organization
I in utter disregard, contempt and de
iiance of the constitution of these
same states which have builded the
1 greatest and most prosperous na
tion ever to exist upon the face of
the globe, can impudently and un
righteously flaunt its doctrine of
hate for no holier purpose than to
enrich itself’.
Such is the Ku Klux Klan.
Born of a union of ignorance,
credulity and intolerance, with that
filthy wanton, greed, this organiza
tion, speaking through Amos G.
Duncan, its grand dragon. dares
I again to lift its slimy, venomous
head in the great state of North
Carolina to tell her splendid and
chivalric citizenry how to vote that
the country may escape the clutches
of the Roman Catholic church. And
they want just a measly, trifling
eight thousand dollars to turn the
j virtuous trick.
Such is the Ku Klux Klan.
God can and will save these be
loved United States of America
from such un-Americanism.
Duncan rapes the truth ns only
ignorant intolerance can assault
that virtue, and then, with impar
tial madness of purpose, he be
comes a character assassin of so
mean a sort as almost to defy de
scription.
Such Is the Ku Klux Klan.
And now listen to what this paid
| ravisher of the constitutional
I rights of every citizen or the com
I monwealth has to say of you, if it
i happens you are not on the side of
j Hoover:
1 "America faces a serious crisis.
The constitution is assaulted. Every
wet, every criminal, every libertine,
every political Romanist, every for
eigner, and every traitor to Prot
estantism is marching with deadly
determined intent toward the White
House under the campaign flag of
"Alcohol" Smith . . . North Carolina
is mobilizing against the Tammany
crats gloriously and patriotically
But the best judgment of leading
citizens has decided that North
Carolina cannot be won by Hoover
unless the klan assumes a definite
daring, determined part in the bat
tle line. I believe you can be de
pended upon in this emergency
Therefore. I summon you to the
solemn sacrifices and heroic labors
necessary to the winning of the
fight."
sucn is me k.u tviux rvian.
No greater insult has ever beer
offered the Intelligent people of fchi;
state. It is difficult to imagine an;
type of North Carolina citizenry re
sponding to such a hymn of hat
and intolerance as this man Dun
j can sends out from his Rutherfor
| county home. While it is true tha
! some men are swayed to unright
| eousness by unreasoning passior
i and uncontrolled prejudice, Th
Record is not ready to believe that
such moral rottenness as tha
preached by the Ku Klux Klan's
grand dragon will be tamely ac
i cepted and swallowed by klan
i draftsmen, and certainly not by the
far outnumbering upright men whe
never had and never will have aught
to do with such a thing.
Such is the Ku Klux Klan.
Duncan's disregard of truth anf
common honesty is further reflect
ed when he says: "We are no.
fighting the Democratic party—wc
are fighting A1 Smith, who is
neither a Democrat, Republican or
good American." The grand dragon
speaks falsely, and it is with knav
ish malice that he does so. It is
' doubtless true, as has been claimed
that the Ku Klux Klan has among
its membership many worthy men,
but such men as Duncan have made
the organization a stench in the
nostrils of decency, and its name
anathema to honest Americans.
Claiming exclusive right to true
Americanism, it gives the constitu
tion over which it so loudly claims
protectorate rights the He when it
denies the constitutional right of
every man to worship God in his
own way.
Such is the Ku Klux Klan.
It coils to strike—as does the
snake.
Merchant* Asked To
Sweep Up Saturdays
Mayor Dorsey says he is striving
for a clean town and wants the co
operation of the merchants to the
extent of sweeping their sidewalks
late Saturday night. He asks that
all trash be placed in cans or con
tainers on the sidewalks and to the
rear of stores. Unless this is done
the wind blows the trash over the
streets and makes an unsightly ap
pearance on “Sundays when the
city should look its best," says the
mayor. Two trucks are on duty
early each Sunday morning taking
away the trash, but it mast be put
in containers and not left in piles
for the wind to blow' about.
Tailors arc planning on making
men’s styles include shorter coats,
is probably due to the fact that
most of us are wearing patches.
Evidence that the auto is trying
to replace the horse comes out every
time a fellow' cranks one of the
things that flares back with a kick,
breaking his arm.
County Pride Is
A County Man Is
Gardner’s Pull
>lr. Baird. Now In Ohio Praises
County For Friendship And Loy
alty. Reasons For Gardner
Editor The Star:
In reading the Oct. 15th issue oi
The Star I saw the print oi a let
ter I had written to my friend Mr. i
Jas A. Wilson of Shelby. If I had
written that letter for publication
I would have been more careful in
its preparation, but as it has been 1
published I wish to be permitted to
go a little more into detail as to
just why I would work and vote for |
Mr. Gardner.
First.—Everything rise being
equal, we should give our totes to
the one we know personally. I am
sure most of the voters in Cleveland
county know Mr. Gardner in this
way. or know of him in a way that
assures them of his force cl char
acter. of his personal interest in
Cleveland county and in the things
closest to the hearts of Us people,
Second Mr. Gardner is of a cal
iber that assures his especial fit
ness for the office he seeks.
Third.—It would be a signal hon
or to have a man from Cleveland
county occupy the governor's chair..
Fourth Mr. Gardner's well
known interest in agriculture will
have inestimable value in promoting
the financial interest of the farmers
and this in an indirect way will pro- j
mate the Interest of every one else
in the state.
The farmers dig out of the ground
(figuratively speaking) every thing
we have or list'. For without food
every thing else would be vanity.
With the fanners comfortable and
contented, it is evident that other
lines of endeavor will have plenty.
Fifth—Cleveland county is in a
way just a great big family, every
one knows every one else.
When Cleveland county goes to j
the polls on Nov. ti it should vote i
as one man for O M. Gardner for j
governor.
First.—He has been tried in pub- j
tic office and not been hwnd want- j
ing.
Second,—There are no' groat state
issues to be decided by changing
the political beliefs of the governor |
so every one can vote for the home
folks.
Third —There is personal pride,
civic pride, county and state pride,
and pride of country (patriotism).
The small boy is proud of his red
top boots. We nre all proud when
our city leads in civic beauty or in
any other way; \ye are all proud
when our county has a great fair;
excels in good roads or in any way
and so on up the Itne.
Every one in Cleveland county will
have commendable pride m having
O. Max Gardner of Cleveland coun
ty as Governor of North Carolina,
but how great a day It would be
for Cleveland county if it would
vote unanimously for Mr. Gardner
for governor. Every voter would
feel that they had had a part in
showing this token of respect, of ap
predation of endless services ren
dered and nil would be glad that
they had helped to show this well
deserved honor to a neighbor.
And from another view point
Cleveland county would receive a
large amount of national advertis
ing if it would give Mr. Gardner
a unanimous vote. This would have
a value no one can estimate in call
ing to the attention of the country
to the fine spirit of cooperation, ex
isting and this would bring to the
borders of Cleveland county others
who would like to live in such a
county, and industrial plants to lo
cate in its manufacturing centers.
