Blanton Mistaken
On Schools, Says
Mr. Editor:
Upon investigation 1 iind that I
was mistaken In one statement, 1
made in the last issue of Tin Star'.
The donations made by the mills to
the South Shelby school were made
before the local tax was levied. The
mills used to extend the school be
yond the six months term each
year. The mills did piovlde the
buildings for the school without
expense to the school and there was
a deficit oi $1,500.00 when the Shel
by school board took over the
schools, which had accumulated
from year to year.
Respectfully,
. HERBERT BLANTON.
Raleigh Man Wants
Gardner To Dodge
“Swell Head” Disease
To the Editor of The Star:
Our new Governor has brought* to
his job the poise of the cxperieiiroci
executive, the sagacity and discre
tion of the finished politician and
the wisdom of the statesman. Hi.
Independence and deliberation in
action is a delight to his friend
and the despair of those seeking
favors at his hands.
The gubernatorial bridegroom is
still riding the crest ol the wave
of popularity, whether this will con
tinue after he has disposed of the
famished pack of patronage seek
ers now yelping at his heels re
mains to be seen. Tf he i • at .all
conclous of the terrible anguish ot
this crowd he has shown no sign.
He goes serenely along’his way ap
parently enjoying his daily contact
with hi;, Raleigh friends and neigh
bors and living up to his reputa
tion as the genial Shelby gentle
man.
He has proved himself to be a
very good listener but his actions
subsequently have not indicated his
belief in or acceptance of the ad
vice he has been overwhelmed with
since taking office Not even Trank
Page, who has developed oim of the
most, tremendou- superiorifv com
plexes, by reason of the adulation
and flattery heaped upon him the
past ten years, and who honestly
believes he is the first cousin to
God Almighty, could convince Max
that the great highway department
could run itself without a head.
The governors inaugural address,
was chock, lull ot good recommen
dations and.it, was well received by j
the legislators and the people at
large. If he succeeds in trails-j
fating his wise recommendations tn
to laws that do not contain to many j
loopholes his success as governor;
will he of greater magnitude, than
any of his immediate predecessors i
has been.
No ruler ever came into his king- i
dom with the afiectionaie sym
pathy and regard of a greater num
ber of his subjects then Max Gard
ner. The people of North Carolina
irrespective of party wish him well ■
and will uphold him loyally as long
as he remains true to the ideals he .
has always championed.
It- would be a good plan if he |
would go over to the state labora- ■
tory and have Dr. Shore vaccinate j
him against that dread malady.!
known as exaggerated ego and!
swelled head, his two immrdiate
predecessors were so terribly afflict
ed with before he is exposed to the
germ of this disease, The wolves;
of privilege are on his track and if j
he escapes them it will not be their
fault.
Very truly yours,
