FIiumyTaPRH, 12, 1920. TWINKLES If a calm necessarily precedes a political storm, wonder what’s in the air in Shelby’s mayoralty campaign? We haven't such a laugh on Mexico alter all. They •hoot their governmental leaders, while we impeach ours. Wonder If there were any mothers hereabouts pestered with the apeed of their flapper daughters who could have misread that headline in Wednesday’s Star: “Expert Advice On Proper Care of Young Chicks.’' Gee McGee, who writes a feature for The Star, promis ed a friend he would quit writing about short dresses, but we notice that he could not resist asking, "but reckon how much thinner they are going to get?” Western films may be losing their popularity with the atre fans, as a Hollywood dispatch says, but what do you suppose causes all the boys in Shelby to jam the doorway of local theatres on Saturday when Hoot Gibson and the other hard riders are billed for the day? After the way Tom Heflin’s boy cut up in New York it appears as if the senior Heflin might have done more for the country if he had remained at home and properly dis ciplined his own son instead of gallivanting about the coun try ranting about anything that assured his name getting in the headlines. Once the light rates are adjusted the matter of finding parking space in Shelby on Saturdays may be the next big problem. Qnly nine of the 100 counties in North Carolina have more automobiles than Cleveland, and about 6,000 of the 6,725 in the county may be found in Shelby on Satur day afternoons. The talk is that “Casey” Morris will be coaching col lege athletes next year instead of high school boys, but the manner in which his Shelby high baseball squad is winning games is ample proof that right now he is giving his full time to reminding Shelby fans that he coached a winning state championship squad here and may produce another this year. Music lovers of Shelby should by all means find it con venient to attend the high school concert tonight at the school auditorium. Those who do attend are assured a musical program unexcelled by youngsters anywhere, ami many should attend if for nothing else than to express their admiration of the pluck of the young musicians in attempt ing to defray their own expenses to the state-wide contests at Greensboro by staging a big concert for the homefolks. j — MERCHANTS AND DOLLAR DAY AS THE STAR looks at it the announcement in Wednes day’s paper of the organization of a merchants associa tion Jhere and the planning of two dollar days for this month In Shelby will be received with double interest throughout the county. The cooperation of merchants in combining with each other, rather than fighting each other, to build the in terest of all and advance Shelby as a trading center was a move worthwhile and should mean much to the future of the city. And for years the query has been often heard as, to why Shelby never haa a dollar day occasion. Nearly every’ I shopping center of any consequence anywhere has such an ; event, and to the shopping public the announcement that Shelby is to have a big bargain festival April 25-26 must be classed as big news. Needless to say that the merchants will do their beat to make the first dollar day festival a real event, for upon the success of the first one and its ap peal to the buying public rests the future of the event which is planned now as an annual occasion. DIRTY PROPAGANDA WITHOUT doubt the denunciation of Governor Max Gard ner by the communistic strike agitators at Gastonia did their cause more harm than anything they could have done, especially go in this immediate section where the Gardner record is an open book, to mill employes as well as to other citizens. In saying this, The Star does not attempt to uphold the cause of either the mill interests of the striking workers. This paper is not, and has never been, adverse to real organ ized labor. There are occasions when properly accredited, worthwhile unions have meant much to the laboring class, and likely will do so again. But, as it must be plain to all by now, the agitators of the strike at Gastonia, which is lead ing to trouble in sections adjoining the big textile county, are not even recognized by the American Federation of La bor, nor do they recognize the American form of govern ment, going back in their loyalty to the communism and Bolshevism of Russia. In view of which the statements of Pershing, Beal and Weisbord, strike agitators at Gastonia, about Governor Gardner utterly sicken us, and we believe other law-abiding citizens, in terming Governor Gardner a "a millowning, ( slave-driving, capitalist” interested in holding textile work-! ers in virtual slavery. We venture the assertion here, and are prepured to i stand to it if someone desires to prove otherwise, that there' is not a person as high in official life as Governor Gardner, or as financially independent as he is who has done more for, or has shown more interest in the laboring class, be it in the textile plants or elsewhere, Governor Gardner is head of the Cleveland Cloth Mill in Shelby and it is doubtful if the hours are shorter or tin pay higher in any textile plant in the two Carolinas. Throughout, his mill village living conditions are excellent and as a result the employees are of a high class. An illus tration of the fact that there is no oppression in Gardner’s .own plant is that one of the weave room employees is rank ed as one of the best golfers in Shelby. It isn’t an odd sight on a Saturday in Shelby to see the secretary-treas urer of the Gardner mill, the superintendent, and the of fice manager on the Cleveland Springs golf course playing with employees of the plant. To go hack a few years more, in the days when the1 Gardner law practice was one of the largest in this section it is a matter of record on the court books that, Governor Gardner represented more plaintiffs in suits against textile j mills and corporations than any other lawyer hereabouts. The Bolshevic agitators at Gastonia may cause some few there who do not know to believe that, the Shelby man is “a slave driver” but in Shelby where it is known that the wage scale runs up to $30 to $40 per week for both men and women in the Gardner mill such statements are im mediately branded as “dirty propaganda.” If every textile plant and industry in America were operated with as much consideration to employees as is the Gardner plant in Shel by, there would never arise an occasion which would give an opening for the communistic harangues of such as Beal, Pershing, and Weisbord.

April 11—On receipt of news from the department of agriculture that 3 boll weevils got drowned In the recent floods in Alabama. July sold off 19 points, which May slumped in sympathy for Liverpool. More rain is predict ed in Texas later on. but the Farm Relief bill now before congress, will adjust tills to suit the bears so we thuik holding is in order if you are about to fail.

He has been reported to the school of ex termination along with the sharp shooter which lias never been lo cated. I was called on to make a 10 mlnute speech the other night at a school entertainment. The shock hit me right in the center of my di aphragm, and my head began to swim, and my mouth Rot so dry I couldn't wiggle my tongue, and my stummick grew' week forcing me into a sudden nausea, and my knees trembled so my supporters fell off, and by the time I got fix ed “to say a few words." everybody had done left the building. I have sworn off again, making the filth time for this month. Prohibition is the biggest Joke pulled olf since Moses turned the frogs loose on Pharoah. But as poor as the effort to enforce it, it keeps the majority of the folks sober, and reaches everybody ex cept Washington diplomats. Uncle Joe's boy, Sammie. still goes bare-headed. He says he was the first young man to discover the popularity of this "no-hit” style in his town, and he insists that he's going to be the last one to return to sensibility. A Michigan man has invented a compact which weighs only 5 ounces, fully loaded, and it is so arranged that a separate compart ment is arranged for the following flapper requirements: 1 quid of chewing gum, 1 lip-stick. 1 bathing suit, 2 powder puffs, 1 nail scraper, 1 eye-brow smearing brush. 1 dime, 2 pairs teddies, and a few other items common to the traveling pa raphernalia of the younger gener ation. A poltceman shot a man in the rumble seat the other night, and when it began to leak, he knew for a fact that the said man was a bootlegger. Rumble seats are al so used for folks to ride in that don't care much about their com fort and general surroundings. The average rumble seat will ho«4 36 quarts, or 3 weak-minded young persons. A prisoner in the Punkvllle jail took one of his collars that he had just received from the laundry, and sawed his way out through the bars. Now the law Is alter that laundry for aiding and abetting. That's go ing to be a stiff fight. Cotton Letter. Now York.

I had tried several doctors, but they only relieved me for a few days and the misery would return again. "I am very glad I ran into a demonstration of Munyou's l’aw t’aw Tonic one Saturday night in Portland. For that was when I began to get better. 1 have taken altogether seven bottles of the Paw Paw Tonic, and for weeks I have not felt a single pain. "My wife joins me heartily in my praise for your wonderful rem edy. She, too, has benefited by its helpful effects." Paxv-Paw Tonic adds to the joy of living because it aids digestion, builds up the blood, cleanses the system, thus making you eat bet ter. sleep better and feel better tn every way.
