Cherokee county officers captured eight stills in the vicinity of the battleground in one week recently. » i _ Charlotte is to have the city manager form of govern ment, and we’re wondering when the change takes place how the Charlotte dailies will fill the gaps in their local news pages formerly plugged with the wrangles of the commis sioners. “A boy,” comments the Raleigh News and Observer, *‘was hanged in Liverpool who is said to have had a hun dred sweethearts. He was some hypnotizer.” Ferhaps he was, but our idea is that the hanging was the last necking party he will participate in in this wor^l. There is a little irony in the fact that along about the tim^ Shelby is boasting of rising again from the ashes ot a sejrjeg of disasters the announcement comes that the city schools, due to a defeat of an educational tax measure, will close « month early and thus go off the accredited list of high schools. I If Shelby’s antique city charter could live up to its out of.daU provisions and the mayor could and desired to pre scribe, and secure, whiskey for his citizens at his discretion, as the charter provides, then there would be little doubt but what the incumbent could keep office just as long as he de sired, or the whiskey lasted. A progressive little city of more than 10,000 people is being operated under a charter wHhih would1 look aged in comparison with a 1914 flivver. Mr. Hoover, says a Washington correspondenct, will give no jobs to Hoover-Democrats. Perhaps they don’t want ’cm( A#*w« recall the campaign talk the only aim the Hoo ver-Democrats had in their switched support was to save the country from the Catholics, the bartenders, and no tell ing what else. And now that they’ve saved it perhaps they’re not hankering after anything else. But it does seem as if it would be only fair for Mr. Hoover to make a courtly bow in their direction occasionally. The country might need sav ing*-again four years from now. JUST A SUGGESTION •THIS PAPER has no idea, nor is it any of our particular business, what arrangements the Shelby civic club com mittees will make at their meeting Monday for getting all tha Cortferedate veterans of Cleveland county to the Char lotte reunion, but it seems to us as if it would be mighty nice to have all the noble old fellows go down together. There would be an item of cost, of course, to employing two or three buses to haul them down in a body, but we believe the citizens of Shelby and the county would gladly chip in to glVte the veterans such a treat. It would not be necessary tdJceep the buses in Charlotte during the reunion as they could be secured only for the trip down and back. M* HURTING OUR SCHOOLS •yHIS YEAR and last there were numerous rural or consoli dated high schools in Cleveland county which did not have, according to committeemen and patrons, enough teach ers to handle the pupils enrolled. But there was and is a cry against taxes and the county board of necessity had to refuse additional teachers. Then eyes were cast hopefully to the legislature now in session for some relief as to the crowded schools with not enough teachers to properly instruct pupils in attendance. Perhaps some means would be provided to secure the needed teachers—.— « And now the Hancock bill seems to be the accepted school measure of the present legislature, and the Hancock bill, if you've kept up with it, cuts down the number of .teachers in rural high schools rather than adds teachers actually needed. Which is to say that in several rural and small town high schools in Cleveland county the‘total num ber of teachers in each school, where there are four teach ers now, will be cut down to three. And four teachers, committeemen, patrons and school officials agree, were not enough* but now these schools must “make out” in some manner with three. Such is the economic foresight of our legislature! WILL ROGERS AND AL pUJ TT DOWN now as an actual fact that Will Rogers, the fpo^rboy comedian, is a better known person over Amer ica than A1 Smith, the brown derby wearer. But, of course, the incidents upon which we base the foregoing opinion may have been brought about as a matter of spite. Anyway, we recall that some months back a North Caro linian wrote a letter to Will Rogers but did not know the humorist’s address. He did nothing more than cut a photo oflftiU out of the paper, pasted it on the address side of an envelope, wrote under it “The Lord knows where,” or something to that effect, and then mailed it. Will, out on * vaudeville tour somewhere in the Middle West, received the letter. The postal clerks naturally recognized the photu im mediately upon peering at the envelope and they kept it go ing until it reached the wise-cracker who packs a lot of wis dom in his wise-cracks. More recently than the above happening a Danville, Virginia, man sent a telegram to Alfred E. Smith and the only address he placed upon it was “New York.” The tele gram was returned because of “insufficient address.” Rogers will get a good joke and many a chuckle out of that, but he no doubt will admit that the telegraph clerks are not as well posted on present day events as are the postal clerks who saw to it that he got his mail. NOW. THE OTHER SIDE? |7 X-PRESIDENT Coolidge’s first magazine article appeared in the Cosmopolitan, and the last line in the article read,.“It costs a lot to be President” Anent which F. P. A. in his New York Wolrd column commented as follow's: “And this ought to give some magazine editor an idea. How about a piece by Mr. Alfred E. Smith, or even by Mr. John W. Davis, with the title, ‘it costs a lot not to be president’ ”? Somehow we’ve been waiting on F. P. A.’s comment ever since we read Coolidge’s debut as a mazine contributor. Among other things we considered the article “too magaziney” to resemble the natural expression of the man who wrote “I do not choose to run.” F. P. A. apparently has similar views. Anyway, the columnist’s comment upon the article follows: 1 “‘Bosh!’ says the Cosmopolitan advertisement, ‘Calvin Coolidge enjoys a joke as much as you do.’ Bosh yourself! We don’t believe it. Not the same joke, at any rate. We doubt whether we would enjoy the jokes that Calvin Cool idge enjoys, and we feel certain that he wouldn’t like the ones that arouse our reluctant laughter, “It is difficult for us to believe that the Coolidge copy ran in the Cosmopolitan exactly as Mr. Coolidge wrote it. We do believe that every worn that he wrote was printed, and that the magazine printed every word that he wrote. But the paragraphing, which to us seems exaggerated, looks more like the way the Cosmopolitan and Liberty, to name two, paragraph articles than the way authors—with the slightest sense of style—would do it. It makes, to us old Addisonians, for choppy reading. We should like to hear from Mr. Ray Long, whose journalistic ability in getting Mr. Coolidge’s articles we commend highly, whether the maga zine followed copy in every possible way.” “Nobody’s Business” - BY GEE McGEE - (Exclusive In The Star In This Section.) Now And Then. Eve.—We will use this part of the garden in the late evenings, and the opposite corner will suit for the living room, and I believe I will place the zither over there next to those large palms and the parlor furniture will show off bet ter when, properly arranged right over there. We will clean off this plot here for the front yard, and you must fix a place tomorrow for the cows, goats, ansoforth. Don't you think these plans are ideal. Adam.—Uh-huh. Eve.—Get busy at once, and pre pare a suitable place for my harp, and don't step on my gladiolas, anyway—I think you should stop dragging your feet. Bring some sand for little Cain and Abel's play-yard. Tie the horse to that other tree in the oat-field and do hurry. We will be late for lunch. The milk and honey are no doubt already coid. Are you coming? Adam.—Uh huh. Eve.—Don't sit there In that draft. Do you want to catch your death of cold? A few more palm-leaves should be put on the roof. Don't sit there and look like a mummy. Get busy. We'll all be drowned if It rains tonight with that big leak in the sleeping porch. Got a pain in your head? Well those bananas and guavas. I wouldn't be surprised tc see you tumble over with acute indiges tion. Call the children in it's get ting dark. Do you hear? Adam.—Uh-huh. Eve.—Try this apple that the snake just handed me. Ain't It grand tho? Ouch, what’s hap pened? Fetch me some tig leaves at once. Don't look at me that way. I told you to stay away from that apple tree. Now you've ruint us tor life. O, why did X ever marry you any how. Are you get ting those leaves? Adam.—Uh-huh. (And there’s been no changes of any conse quence In the household since the Fall). The Gold Dust Twins. I believe Ood made everything in the world except gossippers and rats. The devil evidently put in his handiwork on these two crea tions of a halitosis reputation, and he needs nothing more to make his kingdom complete tn all its stench and rottenness than these. We will finish with rats first. They are sneaking varmlts that do nothing but stink and destroy. They are useless for all purposes in the world except for cat food, and a cat can find things more de cent to devour If str* would look I around more in day-Ujht, and quit sitting up so late at night. Rats! The creeping scum of civilization in the lower animal world. Gossippers are all more or less possessed of a rat disposition. I am referring to chonic gossippers. The kind that enjoy defaming a character. The kind that never waits to verify a statement he or she might hear; provided, of course, it is so bad that it becomes a sweet worsel while a-boring. The kind that is jealous and en vious and spiteful and newsy. And they are legion. We are all more or less care less In our daily walk and con versation. and especially our con versation. And then, eo we have been informed, all men are liars. And you know—man embraces wo man. But it looks like it should be easier to forgive a man or a woman than to cast the first stone. The truth is bad enough some times, but gcwstppers do not always need a-truth to run through their loud-speakers. A report of a dirty tendency makes so much noise that veracity is drowned out. Nobody is perfect—not even you. Thousands of good men and good women are talked about ma liciously every day. And thou sands of bad men and women are talked about maliciously every day, but the gossipper never cares whether a man is a good man or a woman a bad woman when it comes to spreading the “glad news” that “They say," and “she” ought to know, for “her husband’-’ saw them, they were seen togeth er at that place several times recently. “Everybody” is talking, according to a gossipper. We are all human and fall short of perfection. We make mis takes. We do wrong frequently, for our short-comings when we have fallen by the way-side, but it Is real punishment, and a horri ble experience to have to suffer the mortification that folks circu late about one another, especially when it is all more or less fabri cated, distorted, venomous gos sip. And I ain't talking about anybody* in particular in this item either. Matrimonial Troubles. Chicago—Harry Molr, jr„ son of the owner of the Hotel Morrison, makes $15 a week as an assistant banquet manager, but has an air plane and an automobile, it has been testified.

Ill, NO. 5 Virgin »a-Carol ina (jbfinicjl Corporation Copyright All From Lintcrs Twenty yean ago they thought they were lucky to have found how to use cotton lintcrs for filling mat treaecs and making batting. Then the chemists got on the job, and now we get celluloee from lintcrs; and with celluloee they make high explosives, surgical dressings, new ■kin, artificial leather, sausage cas ings, roofings, floor coverings, wear ing apparel, lacquers, varnishes, photographic films, toilet, articles and billiard balls. What will be next—just from cotton lintcrs/ Nobody knows! Music, maybe. -v-c “I used 75 tons of V-C on 230 acres and marketed 240 bales averaging 500 pounds of cotton. I intend to use MORE next spring.” —John Glass, Campton, Ga. -V-C "The average man learns from his own experience. The wise man learns from the experience of others.”—Quoted. ' “We remove from the soil' each year nearly five hundred million dollars’worth jrf plant food more than we restore, and erosion and other factors rob it annually of a sum vastly in excess of this.”— The Fertilizer , Review. -v-c ... V-C of Course! M. F. Sulser, of Smith County, Texas, grew 6,234 pounds of lint and 12,018 pounds of seed on 5 acres—and won the state prir.e given by the Dallas News. The value of the crop was SI ,594 and the cost of the fertiliser was S104. Counting labor and everything, his whole cost per pound of lint was only 5.4 cents. “What fertilizer did he use?” Don’t make ua bashful! -v-C “To KEEP PROSPEROUS AND HAPPT people earning their living from the soil, farming interests must be con sidered educationally, economically, and socially,” says the Yearbook of Agriculture. “Modem farm ers desire and are entitled to spend a part of their time in the realm of thought outside their vocation.” The farmer who starves hi* cotton is pretty apt to go hungry himself. There* hardly a living in poor cotton even when price* are high. Feed your cotton V'-C . . . and your cotton will feed you! Back Up the Scientists Everybody can cat just so much and put on so many clothes—and he rant eat or wear any more, no matter how rich he is. Hut, on other things his pocketbook is the only limit. The job is to learn how farm prod ucts can be used in making these other things too. They hold big op portunities. Cotton »eed used to be a big nuisance around gins, form stance. Now it is worth real mon ey, thanks to the scientists. Scien tific research must stay on its job of hunting for new values in old farm products. There ought to be a good use—besides just eating it or wear ing it—for EVERY crop a farmer ran grow. Let's back up the scien tists wit h encouragement and money —and they’ll dig up hidden market* all around us. -V-C IT TAKES jut*l about at much work to raiae an acre of acrab rotton or aorrr tobacco aa it does to raiao au acre of good crop. The difference io what you % cl brgina with th« teed and the aoil and the fertiliser. -V-C “On one special three-acre plot I used 450 pounds of V-C per acre, and have picked five bales to date and expect to get another.”—IF. C. McGinnis, Cave Spring, Ga. Il'Ao'x been using V-C the, longest? The company would appreciate letters. -V-C “Last te ar I used 300 pounds of V-C Special Formula 3-S-5 per acre, with h yield of approximately one bale to the acre. This was not on a test plot brut was the average yield on one of my farms of about 300 acres.” —Howell Porter, Pinchurst, Ga. The Fourth Ingredient Along with tbeir ammoniates and potash and superphosphates, V-C' Fertilizers always contain a fourth ingredient. This is not a substance at all, yet it makes the whole mixture good as to sources and blend, as to contents and condition. V-C Fertilizers would not be the same without it. This Fourth Ingredient, found tn no other fer tilizcr but V-C, is a priceless one. It ia—V-C’* good name, -v-c Cotton is the third largest agri cultural crop in the United Statea, and the cotton industry is seventh in value of manufactured products. -V-C Effects of Independence "Farmers are more independent than any other group,—yet this has tended to make them slower to or ganize within their own group, slower to cooperate with other groups; slower—but not entirely without the impulse which is grow ing of late among men.”—U.S. De partment of the Interior. “EIToctiTe fertilization i» not merely an agricultural require ment but a national necessity.”— American Trust Co.
