Objects To Salary Of Mayor In New Charter Bill Move To The Editor: I note there has been dratted and sent to Representative O. M. Mull some amendments to the city charter. I do not think that the mayor's salary should be over dou ble the amount of the aldermen when the mayor does not care to give his full time. To pay the mayor $100 per month and a city manager $250 per month would add quite a lot to the city payroll. I think that $200 per month for a full time mayor or a city manager would get a competent person to fill either place for the time being. To pay an honorary mayor $100 per month and a city manager $250 per month would add most too much for one step and a little hem'and there added will cause our taxes to be raised upward instead of down ward. Wire or write Representative Mull. C. H. atlUHARDT. March 5. 1829. At The Theatres The groat dramtlc picture ‘'In terference," the first "all talkie' ever run In Shelby, is on for th« final showing tonight. The picture is a marvel of dramatic power, pre sented by a cast of unusual merit See it by all means.

And another all-talkie Is due Friday—"The Lone Wolfs Daugh ter,” a picture now playing in New York and packing ’em in. Reginald Denny, prince of come dians, in “The Night Bird." is to day's attraction at the Webb. It's a comedy by Universal. It is a story with a New York night club back ground, one scene including the Beaux Arts Artists' ball—also a thrilling prize light is featured. It is a crack picture. Tomorrow the "Loves of Casa nova” Is the headliner, a Metro Goldwyn-Mayer. A galaxy of beau tiful women in the cast. A dressed up picture of the romantic type. The story is in reality the life his tory of the beautiful heroine. Shelby Route Two Items Of Interest (Special to The Star t Shelby R. 2 — Mr. B. M. Jenkins of New House visited our Sunday school Sunday morning. He made a very interesting talk and assisted in making a check on the work of the school.

Monazite Industry Here In The Past Depicted In Brief Around 1,000 People Worked With Monazite Throughout This Section. A copy of the brief filed before the ways and means committee of congress, asking for a tariff on monazite so that the industry may be revived here, is now in the hands of Dr. S. 8. Royster, one of those supporting the movement, and gives the following tariff schedule for monazite and monazite products: Finished gas mantles, $50 per 1, 000 thorium, $2.50 per pound; gas mantles ash or scrap, $2.50 per pound; thorium nitrate, $2.50 per pound; thorium oxide $2.50 per pound; monazite sand, 15 cents per pound; and all other thorium bearing materials or products, $2.50 per pound. A short history advanced by the brief says that until the tariffs of 1909 and 1913 were made effective, from 750 to 1,000 people in North and South Carolina, particularly in Cherokee and Cleveland counties, engaged in mining monazite. There were five cleaning plants employing about 50 people. One buyer alone purchased from $50,000 to $60,000 worth of sand per month, and the total sales were placed at double these figures. During the World war thorium products were used extensively in the manufacture of “star shells,” the brief sets forth, so the adequate de velopment of the industry may prop erly be regarded as needed for es sential protection during time of war. New Beauty Parlor In Charles Building Mrs. S. B. Knight, of Chatta nooga, Tenn., assisted by Miss An drews, of Providence, R. I, has opened a beauty parlor In the Hotel Charles building, entrance three doors to the left of the Warren street lobby. The new parlor is to be known as the “Knightengale.’' and It will be opened for public in spection from 1 in the afternoon un til 8 Thursday evening and re freshments will be served during the inspection hours. •efiind die Scene :'!TOTl Miss M. G. Shatter of Newark, N. J. writes that she used to be lone some but, one day, she went to an orphan asylum and became inter ested In the babies. She fell in love with one little kid. She is no loitfer lonesome. A man with an undecipherable signature writes, also from New Jersey, that he used to play pool to relieve his lonesomeness hot. after marrying and settling In life, realizes that If he had gone to a night school and had studied some thing worth while, he would not only NOT have been lonesome but would have acquired something worth while. Both of these letters present something to think about. Are lonesome people really lone some because they cannot find contact with those activities of life that Interest the vast majority of the human race? Or are they lone some because they cannot gratify some particular desire or instinct they possess? One sympathizes with true lone somcness. But there are selfish forms of lonesomeness which are not so appealing. A lone Temple, in a strange town, bemoans her lcnesomenesa because she knows no attractive male who will take her out Tor dinner or call upon her and talk to her. This to not true loncsomeness. It. to mere* ly a thwarted romantic desire. Perfectly natural and proper. Noth ing to be ashamed of. Many women, In that same town, know many men and have many In vitations. But are Just as lonesome because they have not met the right man. And lone males are in the same boat. To be alone, day after day, and not know whither to turn, in order to meet decent people with whom to talk, to truly a deplorable con dition. But does this condition ex ist upon any wide scale? Are there not societies, clubs, churches, schools, musical and literary cen ters that afford abundant oppor tunities for making acquaintances and even friends? I Of course, thesa opportunities may be confined to meeting those of the same sex. But even that to sufficient to dispel lonesomeness. When the feeling of Icnesome ness arises from lack of acquain tance with those of the opposite I sex, It presents a different problem Matrimonial burraua aro out ol fashion. No one has yet devised a •satisfactory clearing-house for the yearnings of unattached males and females. “I really do not know what to do In this matter,” wrote a clergyman, recently. “A woman came to me and told me that her daughter was terribly lonesome because she knew no young men. She said the girl was charming, but shy. I went out of my way to have this girl meet a score of nice boys. And now she is Just as lonesome as ever. There was nothing about her that ap pealed to the boys, neither her looks, her manners, her conversa tion nor her personality.” It would be difficult to overcome that kind of lonesomeness. Yet. probably, that la the commonest kind. It does not depend upon social conditions so much as upon laws of nature. Sooner or later, Johnny and Jenny find each oth er, even If they have never been Introduced. There are such things as beauty, charm, affinity, physical and mental attraction, which know no barriers of custom. Their pos sessors are never lonesome. But there la no agency that can supply those qualities to those who do not possess them. “Fotched-on Folks.” (Columbia State.) Horace Kepbart, when he settled in the depths of the Oreat Smokies "out back of beyond,” inquired one day of a mountain Solomon— "What do you call folks that live some distance away, for example, over at Murphy?” "Why, wa call ’em furrlners. of course." "And suppose they live still fur ther away, say down at Knoxville?’ "Oh, them's the outlandish I” Expressions heard of late In South Carolina regarding the "Im porting" of trained Intelligence for "special Jobs quaintly recall the mountain prejudice against “fotch ed-on” preachers, teachers and phy sicians.
