Ami if Jimmy Walker is a big enough man for the jobwe’e inclined to think A1 is right in not running, for he isloo big a man for it. Ye Twinkler after watching a fellow parachute from an airplane here just to amuse a gathering of people finds himself unable to decide whether the fellow merely possesses a lot of nerve, or fails to possess a lot of something else. And then it may be sorter fifty-fifty, y’know. A Charlotte dispatch states that Anti-Smiths in North Carolina are doing a bit of watchful waiting in political mat ters. That same expression, as we see it, might be applied to any and all factions of the Democratic party now. These be tempestuous times for Democrats regardless of variety or labelling. SPEED UP MAIL IT IS AN INTERESTING news item that comes out of * Blacksburg stating that the airport there, an emergency field along the government air mail route, may become a stop for the mail planes. Shelby citizens are boosting the movement because it would mean faster mail service here in thatHfttere leaving here in the evening at 6 o’clock would be in New York by 6 o’clock in the following morning. This would speed up business for textile interests, sending samples to and fro, and for local business men in general. Such is the speed of the present day world that the early worm axiom ia more* to the point than ever before. Minutes mean dollars business* and even in love-making with lovelorn •heiks chasing their girls in airplanes, and even getting mar ried while coasting about in the clouds (We mean real clouds, not the clouds circumventing one in a mental daze). WHEREIN WE SUGGEST CENATOR PERSON introduced a bill in the State Senate to ^ make it a misdemeanor for movie fans to stick their toes into the forms of those in the seats just in front, but the MOMbaived Very little attention. However, down in Kinston tfH ^ty board IBlde.it a misdemeanor to place one’s knees on- the back of the seat occupied by those in front, be the chair in a movie, school auditorium or church. So far, so good. Now, since it’s getting near time for another city election in Shelby, we would suggest unto the present city board how they might be reelected—that is, if they care to be. And our suggestion is that prior to the May ballot battle that the city dads pass an ordinance mak ing it a misdemeanor, punishable by fine or imprisonment for any one to read the titles aloud in a movie in Shelby. P. S. It might be an even better idea if the fine part was left out with the dffense being punishable only by im prisonment. SHELBY’S GRANDDAUGHTER DEAD ’fO THIS SECTION the news of last Friday of the death of Miss Lesa R. Shelby, grand daughter of the Kings Moun tain battle hero for whom this town was named, was of con siderable interest^ First of all it is doubtful if many, or any, Shelby people knew that the grand daughter of the fa mous Revolutionary warrior was still living. That she was a short time before her death faced with financial distress we know was not known here, for considering the Revolu tionary history connected with this town, county and section, in-which nearly every town and street is named for some of Ole Kings Mountain heroes, we feel sure that local chapters <rf'the Daughters of the American Revolution would have gladly given her aid. Remembering bow near the grand daughter of Col. Isaac Shelby came to being buried in a pauper’s grave it might be well for the Daughters to get in touch with their historical dfStdfers-and find out if their descendants of Shelby are liv ing,'Aftd, if so, where. The information would be of general interest. Too, it would be none too much of a boost for rel atives of the man for whom a prosprous town was named to permit them to suffer from poverty. LINCOLN AND THE SOUTH TOjiORROW is the anniversary of the birth of the man who, to us, represents more the opportunity this country of owns? America, holds out to the oncoming generations than any other. Tomorrow is the birth anniversary of Abraham Lincoln. “Honest Abe,” the rail-splitter, who secured his education by the light from the fire in an open hearth, and moved on and on fighting the vicissitudes of life until he reached a peak occupied by few men. Due to the fact that he held the presidency when the want internal break in the history of America, the Civil war, came about Lincoln for years was not the idol in the South that h# la today. But as the years rolled by, and it in alwaya ao, the rugged honesty and the big heart of Lin coln, finally Wtta over the South. Today his anniversary is as fittingly remembered among us as among the people of his own north and east. The change in sentiment over the Qvfl war break is evidenced better in the showing of Uncle “ 1fcfn's€abln> the story which had much to do with starting the conflict, and was once lambasted all over the South for its unfairness to Southern interests. Despite the fact that George Eaton and other impartial writers have shown many untruths and errors in the story of Uncle Tom’s cabin the showing of the story in the movies draws cheers even in North Carolina. In its way what a masterpiece that story is, but the many ways thereof? tiEND A SHOULDER QLEVELAND county, and section adjoining, hardly knew what cash or a bit of surplus money meant until the monazite mining industry came along years ago. Then over a stretch of time the monazito industry brought an unfc&ld amount of money into the county and section. Nice, com fortable farm homes began to replace small log and frame houses, children began to receive better schooling advan tages, and business in general picked up for prosperity can not be where there is no circulation of money, and up to that time there had been little in this county. Now a movement is on foot to revive the monazite in dustry in the section, the industry having been idle for many j years due to a low, and later no tariff at all on outside mona zite coming to this country*- If the movement is successful, and enough cooperation and fight could make it so, it would mean much to Cleveland county and the section adjoining. Another meeting in the interest of the movement is to be held in the court house here Saturday afternoon. Attend that meeting! The return of monazite mining to this county on a profitable basis will bring a prosperity, which added to our agricultural advance of recent years, never before known. And prosperity in a section effects not just one group, but all regardless of business and occupation. Business men, bankers, professional men, manufacturers, and farmers should attend Saturday’s meeting as well as those directly (interested in reviving monazite. Be there! COUNTY EXPENSES AND TAXES A WEAKNESS controlling practically every man is the habit of complaining about expenses at tax-paying time and then forgetting the matter for the rest of the year, or until an election comes along when such-and-such officials may be knifed as revenge for the increasing taxes. Those who think taxes are high should keep the thought on their mind the entire year, for taxes a£e high when pub lic money is being spent for this and that. When the spend ing is going on is the time to yell—not after it is spent when the taves are already boosted automatically. Every time there is a change in method of government, or anything of that nature is the time to be on the alert, right when the spending stax*ts. For which reason The Sar is inclined to JthTnk well of such discussions as that between Mr. Harris of Mooresboro and County Business Manager Cline. The latter bucked at one legislative bill now proposed because until it was further explained to him he was of the opinion that it might cost the county quite a bit of money, and Mr. Cline is in position to kngw that every time a county spends a little more money it means a little more taxes for the taxpayers to pay. Mr. Harris in reply wanted to know just how the proposed leg ation might prove expensive. Such discussions do good, far m *3 good than angered discussion after money is spent and there is talk of raising taxes. The average citizen noting a little added cost to this and that department may not con sider the small sum of any consequence and therefore not stop to think that over a year’s period even small sums mount up, and it .doesn’t take much mounting up of expense to cause the tax rate to climb. Do your investigating before the spending not after wards when you go to pay your taxes, and you will see that better results will be forthcoming. Something To Think About Touching On Success By Bruno Lessing | Harvard university has sent out! questionnariee to U.000 business men In an attempt to ascertain the reasons for their success.. The In quiry according to the Associated Press, “seeks to obtain first-hand information regarding to social classes from which business lead ers arc recruited, the extent of their education and training and the cir cumstances surrounding their early business careers.” It seems a rather curious, half baked inquiry for an institution of learning to undertake. One can not help wondering' what the an swers will bo and what deductions the university will make from them. Supposing most successful busi ness men reply that they ran away from home at an early age and en joyed no school teaching, will the university decide that, In order to be successful in business, boys must run away from home and keep away from school? ' Would it not have been better to institute an Inquiry as to what constitutes a successful life? That , is a much broader field, and a vastly more Important one. One I hardly expects a great institution 'of learning to waste its time and energy upon that limited field of success in which men struggle to build up a business and make money. .Once-there was a poor boy who. without much education, went into the steel business. He built up a < powerful factor In the Industrial 1 world. Then he abandoned the woman whom he had married in his youth and took up a young chorus (girl. 1 t His friends were ashamed. He lost caste. His business associates abandoned him. He had to retire from his organization. He went to Europe to live. He is still a multi-millionaire. But has he been "successful?” Then there was a boy, whom this writer also knows, who went to school and to college and acquired and developed a fine sense of taste In books and art and music and living. He marlred a wonderful girl and they settled down In the city of Chicago. They have four children. And this chap has worked steadily and conscientiously as a newspa per man for thirty-five years. He has absolutely no ability to accu mulate money. Whenever he makes a little extra money he feels it a duty to “blow it In" upon some gift that will please his wile or iris chil dren. His family are devoted to him. His friends love him. He holds his head high because he has never done evil and, to the extent of his ability, he has helped all who have come to him. He Is perfectly hap py Has he been ••suoceeslul?” The whole trend of these days, and their spirit, is money, money, money. It Is natural. Con sidering that we live In the great est period of material construction and of economic organization that the world has ever seen, it Is per fectly natural that men’s minds should dwell more upon money, which Is the reward of materialism, then upon the finer things of life. But as long as the finer things “Nobody’s Business” - BY GEE McGEE - (Exclusive In The Star In This Section;) Various & Sundry. The biggest lie: “Easy Payments.” Next to the biggest lie: "I will be detained at the office tonight.” The longest day In the year is the day before your mother-in-law starts for her own home. The shortest day in the year Is the day before the second payment falls due»*«Kt-you ain't got a cent. ThewtSest man in the world is the man who talks but little and writes not at all. The oftenest told lie of modem times Is—“I’ll pay you next week.’ The meanest man in town is the guy that beats you to the last parking space. The prettiest girl in the com munity has her picture taken in a 1-piece ba*.hlng suit so’s she can prove it. The strangest man tn the whole county is '.he man that attends strictly to his own business and lets other peoples busirtss alone. The finest boy In college is the best forwara pass°r who made 45 on geography and 25 on spelling ' and flunked on all nls other stud ies. The best cook in town is the per son who can keep her hair out of the dumplings and not let the bis cuits bum while she’s at the telephone. (It Is harder for a wo I man to leave a telephone than for the proverbial camel to back thru a needle’s eye.) It cost the Democrats $4,543,256 78 to defeat A1 Smith, meaning which: If they had nominated A1 and kept him at home, and refus ed him the privilege of expatia I lng his views as a "wet.” and de nied him the right to explain his strong love for the Pope, and sav ed their money for other purposes, why, he’d have been elected as sure as the Tea Pot Dome. The highway commissions all over the south are demanding that all of the money derived from gasoline taxes be turned over to them ta.be used as they see lit Irom time to time. Just as I ex pected 4 years ago. They’ve got 2 feet in the trough already, and now they want to put their other a feet in. I am of the opinion that a little bit of the tax money should be given to each county for use by the folks who pay it. Highway commissions are developing into octopuses, and 10 years from now, a guy will have to get a permit from the department before he can cut sprouts within 1,000 yards of the public road. Cotton Letter. New York, Feb. 11—Rain In Texas night before last, and dew in Georgia today—put spots down 26 points, and the farmers had the losses to pay. Bombay opened with a jump and a spurt, while Liverpool reacted on call, the bears are riding In Umoslnes, but South ern selling and straddling and boll weevil news—made the mills set up and take notice, but the longs and the outa—regard .farm relief as a mere poultice. We advise holding and scrimping and saving—and be lieve In a higher price—but we must not forget for all time to come— that the speculator holds the dice. (N. B.—This Is poetry). I heard TJncle Joe giving a tourist some directions as to how he might get to the next town, and here’s what he said: "Now, say, looky here: You fellers Just keep the straight road till you turn off, and veer to the right, and when you come to old man Brown’s house, and see soma dogs a-barking, take your left, but don’t turn off too soon, and there’s 3 or 4 lefts down there, and then change your course kinder to-ards the north till you come to a fork, and take it and go 0 miles, and then you’ll be In sight of where yo seem to be go ing. You can’t get lost if you fol low them directions." I asked a dairyman the other day If his milk was pasteurized, and he said, "Yes sir, I’ve got a big pasture, and my cows stays out in it all day long.” He claimed that his milk was over half butter fat, and I Just bether it was till he got to the branch. 666 Is A r .script!on For Colds, Grippe, Flo, Dengue, Bilious Fever and Malaria.

Charleston News and Courier. Out of North Carolina came a citizen into Horry county where he bought a truck load of hogs from a widow, issuing a check of $55 in payment. That persons in Horry have hogs to sell is an excellent sign, but this was a case of bad selling because the check was bad. | The badness of the check Is ac- j counted for by the drawer of it by "mean whisk that he got hold of after he left South Carolina.” His good intention had been to sell the hogp and make a deposit to meet the check, but having drunk of the liquor he 60ld the hogs for little or nothing and was separated from his truck besides. He is now, it seems! languishing in Jail in Con way, awaiting trial, having been extradited from North Carolina 'where mean whisky prevents men from selling hogs at a profit and creating a bank balance to pay cnecas aireuay iaoucu. There is an unpopular theory that the drawing of checks upon non-ex istent bank balances even by tee totallers is a wrongful practice, es pecially when possession of wid ow’s property is gained in that manner, but we suspect that the theory more widely prevailing in this part of the world is that the badness of most bad checks is due to the meanness of most mean whisky. Check-flashers are the unfortunate victims of bootleg gers and deserve the smypathy of the benevolent classes. We believe in Santa Claus all right, but we often wish he would cultivate a little quieter taste in neckties.—Ohio State Journal. Gee, it's a wonderful relief to be living in a world that is absolutely pledged not to resort to war, unless it feels like it.—Ohio State Journal. Cut bananas lengthwise in half, j sprinkle with nuts and serve on lettuce leaf with mayonnaise dress-j ing. i Forbid Pldcng Of Knees In Char Back Kinston—The legislature may not have taken seriously Senator Willie Person's bill to stop the sticking of knees in the backs of i theatre chairs, but the bill gave members of the Kinston city coun cil an idea. An ordinance propos ed here would make t a misde meanor, punishable by fine or im prisonment or what you have, to put either or both of one's knees in the back of a theatre, church or auditorium chair occupied by another. Hundreds of show-goers here have the habit. -The same ordinance would make it a misdemeanor to stick chewing gum on the seat or sides of a chair in a public place. If the measure gets to the coun cil it will probably be sharply de bated. Some of the members will . want to know how the authorities can deal with the chewing gum “stickers,' most of whom are Juve niles too young to know better. The ' mayor will disapprove the ordi nance, it is understood. The senate asks for suggestions for making military aviation safer. Congress might again begin to fur nish those war-time contract plants that couldn’t get off the ground.— San Diego Union.
