Years Of Wandering Winns

(By TED LEAGUE.)
Well, since these girls were so
entertaining and apparently pleas
ed with my style of dancing. I tried
to make myself as gracious as pos
sible.
But at eleven thirty when the
time for good night came, 1 told one
of them that it would be good night
and good bye also, and t lie fellows
that came over were good enough to
Invite me to spend the night with
them, which I did. They carried me
to their home, gave me a bed and
breakfast and carried me to the
next town the next morning.
In this town I saw an ad for a
“short order cook" and applied for
the Job and got it. That afternoon.

EDGWOOD Shingles
are cut edge-grain and
permit a 577 exposure to
the weather for 16"
shingles, and 5)" for
18"ehingles. They have
greater covering cap

no more than the ordi

In fact, they cost a
whole lot less, when you
realize that you have a

I started out on the road again,
ted and found once more.
I looked again for Jerry but
without a sign of him and thought
of going to the post officp Found a
.otter lnun him e.:pU ining lhat his
grandmother had been sen <usly
hurt in an auto accident and that
he must go to Omnho. Nebr. Im
mediately. He also told me (hut he
would come to South - Carolina as
scon as he could do so
T lilt the highway t gain and got
a ride with a tourist headed lor
Chicago with a full load. He car
ried me to the outskirts of Mem
phis, Tenn. just at sundown one
Sunday afternoon. It began to rain
and I bad no place to go, no place
to eat or sleep I asked several
farmers If 1 might occupy their
barn but to no avail and decided
the best thing I could do would be
to go to the saw mill and gel, un
der the shed. The saw mill happen
ed to be just off the highway and
about three o'clock In the morn
ing I heard voices. Negroes were
coming down the highway and X
didn't want them to disturb me or
think I was hurting anything by
being there so I took a white shirt
out of my suit case, put it over my
head and when they were abreast
the saw mill I raised up and hol
lered just as loud as I could One
of the negroes said "What's dat?"

and I have never heard the answer
tie got.
Got a good ride next, morning into
Memphis, fixed a Ford car for a
man in trouble, made two dollars
on the deal, fed my face and start
ed to Nashville, knowing that It
couldn't be very far to Shelby and
and a fair was being held and I
got a job there ns a bally hound, I
was one of those fierce South Sea
Islanders with a ring in each ear
and one in my nose. I was painted
up all black with a white skin
tight, suit on and carried a long
wicked looking knife. My job was to
attract and held a crowd while the
"barker” told them about the won
derful attractions on the Inside.
Made $2 50 per day and board on
(he job. It lasted a week and the
carnival went south.
I went on to Knoxville, encoun
tered a friend of mine from Green
ville, S. C. and rode all the way
home with him. I learned that he
was connected with the federal
prohibition department and he of
fered me some very interesting
work. That of going into the moun
tains, getting acquainted with the
moonshiners, getting their confid
ence, making liquor with them if
necessary, and letting him knew
whore they worked. The remunera
tion was very good. For the sake of
a Job I took it, lived with my folks
for two months and then the fun
began. At the present time, there is
not a single moonshiner in those
mountains and they don't know that
their friend and co-worker was re
sponsible for the deluge of officers
and raiding parties.
That was a lot of fun though.
Working at n distillery and making
believe that I was a real moonshin
er. It certainly took some clever
acting on my part to be a moun
taineer with them iPlea.se remem
ber that I haven't said which
mountain I was in.)
Jerry arrived on the scene a few
weeks after I did. and I didn't even
let him in on the secret. He inform
ed me that his grandmother had
died, leaving him ten thousand in
(Slid cash, to be his when he be
came thirty-one years of age. If he
had received it then we would have
probably gone places, seen things
and done those tilings you read
about in fairy tales but. poor Jerry,
his mania for booze got the best of
him and he drank Just too much of
it, got in Jail had to pay a heavy
fine. After that he returned to Cali
fornla.
After leaving the mountains, I
came directly to other small places
in North Carolina continuing the
work I had started in South Caro
lina. That was completed several
weeks ago and I resigned from my
• position" ns a spotter.
Too many people have the im
pression that the famous 18th
amendment was made only to be
broken and is not. a friend of those
engaged in the legitimate practice of
helping to enforce that law. How
ever that is all passed but 1 cer
tainly had a lot of fun while it
lasted
Shelby is a fine place, growing
every day, Inhabited by people that
believe In progress and have mod
ern ideas. I have made numerous
friends in Shelby and hope to re
main here for some time, but I can
not remain here merely as a waiter
In a leading cafe. I have hcpes of
making a connection with a grow
ing concern where I will have a
chance for advancement.
To ramble is all right; to see the
places you have dreamed about in
your childhood is also o. k.; but
when one comes to the realization
that he is nothing but a wanderer,
a floater, a ne'er do well, etc., it is
high time to consider settling down
to something worthwhile.
The urge to wander on to other
places comes to me often. The
longing for the open road or for the
salt tinged air of the sea is so
strong at times until I can hardly
repress the desire to drop every
thing and go to sea again, but aft
er fighting that urge for so long it
now seems like one long, pleasant
dream to think of those places I
I have been to.
j Hire's hoping that Shelby will
i offer some opportunity, whereby 1
| can remain with all of you and
grew with you. prosper with you
and be one of you. Adios.
The beginning—(of a settled
down life.)

sews, cleans, and does all the work

Coi bett Family To
Shelby From Graham
(Special to The Star.)
Graham. N. C., April 27.—To the
regret of their many friends the
family of Mr. J. O. Corbett have
moved to Shelby where they will
make their home. Mr. Corbett since
the first of the year hits held the
position of auditor with thf Cleve
land Cloth mills, a place he is emi
nently fitted by reason of long
training. For twenty-five years Mr.
Corbett was. bookkeeper and head of
the office at Saxaphaw Cotton mill
When that business failed he be
came county accountant until the
change of administration due to the
returns lrom the election last Nov
ember. The Presbyterian church
sustains a great loss in the removal
of the Corbett family. Every
branch of the church had some
member of the family among its
workers and the Sunday school was
ably superintended and managed by
Mr. Corbett for eight years , and
lor five years he was an elder in the
church. We wish them happiness
in their new home.

\rkan*an Convinced Since Hit
Childhood That “Black
Draught Can’t Be
Beaten” For It.
West Helena, Ark.—“I am flfty
vo years ol age, and I have taken
Hack-Draught, when needed, all my
life,” writes Mr. G. L. Smith, of 253
North Third Street, this city.
‘‘When I was just a child, my
mother made Black-Draught tea,
and gave it to me for colds and
biliousness. It was a family medi
cine with us.
‘‘After I was grown and went out
on the farm, working hard, I would
?et a dull, tired feeling and a bad
taste in my mouth. I would know
then, that I was bilious. I would
take a few doses of Black-Draught,
and soon feel good as new.
“In later years, I have taken
Black-Draught and it has helped
me for constipation and biliousness,
and I am still of the same belief, as
when a child, that Black-Draught
can’t be beaten."
Thousands of men and women
rind Black-Draught of gTeat help in
relieving the common ailments, due
to constipation, biliousness and in
digestion.
Black-Draught is prepared from
selected medicinal herbs and roots.
