Around Our Town - Shelly Sidelights - || —-- \\ith Kenn Drum •**■■■ '■ -■■ ■ ~ WITH ALL OP ITS EXFEH ; icnce In being North Carolina's "junior capital'’ tor eight years Shelby is a bit unsophisticated as yet. politically speaking, and refer ring, of cct’rsc. to the town gen erally. Which is to say that echoes from Saturday right’s banquet, attended by several score legislators and other state notables, brought shock ed glances to the face's of numer ous home-town people this week when they beard the report that about lobby comers and remote hallways there was some demand— the report doesn't say how much— for "short” pints, not particularly short ones, but pints. Apparently a big part of the local citirenship didn’t fall for that story of Spencer Murphy's some months back, in which It was stated that the bootleg market in Raleigh was at its best when the general as sembly was In session. ANYWAY, IT WASNT A TY pical Raleigh gathering, as Murphy depleted such, In that respect. There weie too many judges, fed eral, state end otherwise, about; and those who dole out such had not anticipated any extra demand, if there was any extra demand, this department carrying no furth er along than to pass on the re port. IN MONDAY'S "SIZING UP" OP notables In general at the banquet colyum inadverently, as erring newspapers say, forgot to make mention of the Andy Oump type. The class could be easily picked out at the Klwanis' farewell for there were no "Mins'* present to restrain them. I THE NEXT TIME A SHELBY or Cleveland county citiz:n gets the swelled head and starts telling any one from the neighboring counties of Gaston, Rutherford, Lincoln. Catawba and Burke how much more cotton we make than they do he may be cut down by the neigh bor with a remark; “We make more money than you at that.” j And he will be right. More people Ill pa vrpvt vswaa W yw^iumwwil pBJ come tax In the counties named above than in this county. In Cleveland county there are , 200 income taxpayers. New York has its social "Four Hundred,” and Cleveland has her financial two1 T huflSrJfll. Wow will some one please name the 200 income taxpayers of the county? A "PENNY COLUMN” AD IN The Star Informs: ‘Tor Cash You Can Secure Shelby’s Biggest Bar gains in Furniture.” We don’t doubt that, but what we want to inow is: How much cash? ANOTHER THINO ABOUT this early closing of the Shelby schools is that some of the young men of the town, who always wait for that spring urge tc become j sentimental, may find that the teachers have locked shop and gone home before the feeling ar rives. SOME PEOPLE HAVE ODD ideas about what they place among j their souvenirs. One Shelby man journeyed over to Gaston county on the last week-end. raked around1 in the ashes at the Vanderburg farm and brought hoirte a couple, pieces of charred human bones, i THE GOOD YEAR 1929 DID not make its debut in Shelby with quite as much whoopee as did the) gray-haired old fellow, 1928, who l passed out Monday night. Before the first day of 1928 was| very old Shelby had been heard of in every city and hamlet in Amer ica. As a contrast 1929 slipped into] Shelby as quietly as a half-sous ed husband coming home from a poker party and hoping the wife will not hear his fumbles with the | key. What's more very few Shelby people will lament the lack of ad vertiaing this year. Such being the case the outlook I seems good for Shelby during the i year. Perhaps it was because 1928 j rode into town on the sizzling end of a firecracker that so many dis asters and bad breaks hit the town last year. A YEAR AGO THIS DEPART ment suggested a textile basketball league for .Shelby. Had there been any interest shown we hoped to re-1 vive the talk this year, but there wasn't Still, we contend, a basketball league among the various mils of the city would afford good amuse ment during the remaining win ter months, would make more con tented workers of the textile plant young fellows, adding to their health meantime. | But for 1929 the department re solved to make no suggestions un less they Just slipped out. That one slipped. . J WHEN jyDGE FALLS PRE slded over county court it didn't take the boys long to give him a nick-name, and the same applied to Judge John Mull. Now wt’r.e won dering what kind monicker they’ll hang on Judge Horace Kennedy, "ho took office this week? While the campaign was on over zealotw friends of the present su perintendent of the State prison tried to pledge Mr. Oardner to re nppoint him. Mr. Oardner very properly refused to pledge. Since the election the pressure for the reappointment of Superintendent Pou has been renewed. Governor Oardner can name his prison su perintendent without any advice from this quarter. But we are ex pressing the hope that he will not allow himself to be clubbed into making this or any other appoint ment not Approved by hi* own judg ment. Governors and all others in public place are under obligations to friends who helped them attain their objective. The friends have the privilege to offer advice and it is natural for them to expect con sideration. But since the governor, or whoever it is that is dispensing, has the responsibility, the account I ability, he should not allow htm I self to be dragooned into doing something that his Judgment dis approves. And friends of the right sort will not trespass on the claims of friendship to that extent. They I are asking too much when they de mand that their judgment govern rather than the judgment of the responsible head. . Whoever Oovernor Gardner does) I or does not appoint to any place! ; we hope he, will uae his own di.v 1 cretlon and that he will not be moved by the people who try to force him. He should do that be cause he and not the self-appoint ed guardians who seek favors is the trustee of the people; and he should act on his own In spite of the pressure of tk»e selfish, cygn ; though they call JUnv the '’unfriend ly governor," Instead of the "frlend ! ly governor,” as he craves to be known.
