MAR. 6. 1929 TWINKLES Many cigarette smokers have wondered many times if hey smoke more or less than the avearge cigarette smoker, decent statistics show that the average American smokes $22 cigarettes yearly. And now, as Mr. Brisbane might say, ret a pencil and figure your rating with the fags. Ex-President Coolidge, who said little while in office ind wrote, insofar as we know, little more than that famous ‘I don’t choose—” line and his signature, will write some books now that he has a bit of spare time. And if he is as hrief and as terse in his book writing as in his talking, won der if the foreword and the fly-leaf will not be the major part of each book? Johnston Avery, who is rated by The Star as one of the cleverest and most entertaining editorial writers in North Carolina, has severed his relations with The Hickory Daily Record and has purchased the Lenoir News-Topic from Fred H. May. Which means that Lenoir may expect a very lively semi-weekly, and perhaps more, and that Pub lisher Miller has a job on his hands of filling the vacant shoes. JUNKING AN ANTIQUE THE CHANGES proposed in the Shelby city charter by the 1 legislative bill now in Raleigh for action may not measure up in every instance, but most every change cited is really needed.^TAnd any. change is a move to bettering the situa tion, and with the interest shown by the move already made we may hope some day to see a modern, workable city charter instead of what a former alderman termed our present charter—“An elastic antique” FOUR YEARS FROM NOW? A LMOST unbelievable was the maner in which the entire nation heard the inaugural ceremonies in Washington Monday. Radio broadcasting mikes here, there and every where .. . More than a half hundred of them . . . One up in an airplane,, another at this street corner, and one at that, about the pavilions, stands, and everywhere. Not a move was made but what the so-called “great unseen, audience" was told about it. In the words of The Charlotte Observer, “Great isjtadjo!” And don’t forget that four years from now we’ll likely be seeing the inaugural ceremonies as well as hearing them here at home as we go about our daily routine. How the world moves. “ALTHOUGH A DEMOCRAT—”? * A LTHOUOH a Democrat,” reads a news dispatch, “Wil * ** u: liarri D. Mitchell, of Minnesota, has been named attor ney-general of the Hoover-cabinet.” For near a half year now this paper has been trying to set itself right on the true definition of a “Democrat,” and while we’re still wabbling about mentally along comes a news writer—many of them, in fact—to call Attorney General Mitchell a Democrat. Just why is he a Democrat? He hasn’t voted, the statistics have it, for a Democratic president in years, and according to Judge Clark, of the Greensboro News, he even voted for Hughes instead of Wilson back in 1916. If Mr. Mitchell is what might be called a Democrat, just what is a Democrat? OH, THANKS, SIR! A NENT SHELBY’S recent opening of the new Hot* Charles, the rebuilt business block, and The Star’s “com* back edition” several newspapers of the section have mad comment. Among the most pleasing—and we publish it be cause of general congratulations, of course, uh-huh—is th following by the Gastonia Gazette: “Celebrating the opening of Shelby’s modern fire-proo hostelry, the Hotel Charles, The Cleveland Star yesterday is sued a most attractive 24-page edition. It was an unusuall; splendid achievement for a thrice-a-week paper—in fact i surpassed in many respects similar attempts by man; dailies. But then it’s not often that you find as live a tear As Lee Weathers and Renn Drum Running a newspaper any Where outside a city. From the standpoint of mechanics makeup, live news, editorial and correspondence, this, issu <?f The fjtar is worthy of the highest commendation and w congratulate the publishers. II “Shelby is also to be congratulated on the opening o fhe new Hotet Charles. It occupies the same site as the ok hotel which burned a year or two ago with such tragic tol limian life. The new structure is fireproof and modem throughout. It has seventy rooms and a large dining room Jt will prove an asset to the town and The Star did a goo< piece of work in according it this elaborate line of publicity.1 THE GOVERNOR’S I.ADY DACK WHEN Governor Gardner and his lady moved down to Raleigh to start housekeeping in the executive man sion this paper remarked, in enthusiastic home-town fashion,! that ere the four year'administration was at end Mrs. Gard-1 her would come to be known as one of the most charming women ever to occupy the mansion. , Of course we h&j complimentary remarks to make about Governor Max, CH^rdinarily, you know, when a man j t gets married the bride gets all the attention and he is over looked in the detail. On the other hand when a man attains high office the flashlights of publicity play about him and divide very little time with the bride, who got all the at tention when they were married and nine times out of ten has been such a faithful partner in life’s climb that she should be given considerable credit for the heights attained. So, you see, we shoved our prophecies about the Gover nor’s lady into print, and furthermore dared the football fr-wn of the new governor to the extent that we ventured, •ilso, she would be one of the most handsome first ladies to grace the mansion. And somewhat naturally since that date we've been watching the Raleigh dispatches to see how the First Lady has been proving out almost as much as we have been keep ing check on the son of Shelby’s country doctor of the old days who is in Raleigh fighting to establish a clean election law for his party to support. Then last Sunday in the News & Observer we saw what we had been looking for in the column “Incidentally'’ written by Nell Battle Lewis, one of the most observant women who ever expressed an opinion about Raleigh events. And here is what “Incidentally” had to say about the Governor’s lady: “As I survey the contemporary scene, the thing which evokes my profoundest wonder and admiration is the social endurance of Mrs. Oliver Maxwell Gardner. The Governor’s lady is our most tireless hostess and guest of honor. It seems to be a mere matter of daily routine for Mrs. Gardner to depart from a luncheon in order to receive at a tea and to go thence to a dinner, followed by a reception in the eve ning. The strangest thing about it to me is that I believe she honestly likes it At least she seems to. Each function, apparently, is the one of all others which Mrs. Gardner has been longing to attend. “Will Mrs. Gardner help in receiving the delegates to some convention or other that is going to meet in Raleigh ? Why certainly, and not only that, but it will be a pleasure for her to entertain them at the Mansion. So it has gone, with scarcely a break, since Governor Gardner’s inaugura tion. For the first time in a number of years Raleigh has had what the society editors delight to call a “season” which has revolved around this cordial and hospitable person who has thrown the Mansion wide open and invited the state to come in. “I say I admire It. To me it seems phenomenal. If for) three days I had to do what Mrs. Gardner does steadily I should collapse and take to my bed.” I A mat told me not long ago how to remove * wart, and here’s bit remedy: Procure the liver of a freshly killed rabbit, carry It In your left hand till you see the new moon over your right shoul der, take a match stem and tickle the wart, then tickle tl)e liver In a like manner, and shut your eyes '■—walk backwards 9 steps till you butt Into a tree, then say: “Il ium, Did-lum. Dunum Dore: Leave Old Wart Forever More,” and the wart will fall off. Thla will also cure distemper, gum-bolls, mange, and fever blisters. I would like for the folks who don't like to read “Nobodys Business” to try this wonderful treatment. Uncle Joe Is the worst fellow to kick and complain I njpet ever saw. . He says that his radio la so no account that he can’t even time In on static half the time. He told me only last week that his mule walked so fast to the plow he’d have to sell her so’s he could get one that he could keep | up with. He insists that Aunt Mtnervy cooks too fast, and doesn’t give him time for his morning nap before breakfast. He believes his preacher ought to farm _ for a liv ing and preach for the sake of salvation. Nothing seems to suit him: he Raised aaiid last year be ’ cause his state and county taxes went from 43 cents to 44 cents. Cattcp Letter.

Alter I told him Just exactly what was wrong with me. he led me to a high barber chair, and a good-looking girl rushed up and wrapped a towel around my neck. Then the doctor opened a little cup-board and took out an alum inum biscuit pan lull ol tools, and sat them on the table, and then he piled out others things that looked like squirt guns and knit ting needles and button hooks ansolorth till the place smelt like a 10-cent store. The first thing that doctor did was push my head back between 3 little head-holders, then he took a long crochet hook and poked It up Into my nose, then he poked u a i'*He harder alter hunting around In there with It, and then ue po..ed It on thru my brain till it (evidently) protruded thru my skull, and then he stopped and sat down and asked me II it hurt, and I told him no, but it tickled like the dickens, and about that time, the nurse sat a pan in my lap to catch my tears—which were running down all over my clothes. Before I knew It, that doctor grabbed hold ol that crochet needle, twisted It to the right 4 times, and to the lelt 5 times, then whirled It around and around, and suddenly Jerked it out, and it had hair on It. . The pan had lllled up With tears by that time, so the nurse changed pans. Then the doctor put a bicycle pump stem up in my nose, and turned on 165 pounds, pressure. He blew some ol the tools : olf the table thru my ear. He took1 that instrument of torture out, and then squirted some stuff up niy nos trils. Before I knew it. he yanked my mouth open and swabbed my throat with a mess of something that looked like coal tar, but tasted like something else. I sneezed once and at least a pint ol brains came forth, then the doctor push ed me out ol the office and told me to come back tomorrow. It will take 8 sheriffs and 6 police men to get me within in 10 blocks of his office. I rather be deef than dead. You can barely hear it!
