TWINKLES The silver lining in Shelby's school cloud is to be put there, as we Ret it. by the city aldermen, who are to produce the needed finance for the final school month. Another mystery, of considerably more importance here than any we can think of. is that of what has become of the pep and spirit once in city elections ? Edison is searching for some smart young fellow to carry on the great inventive work he has started. And wh* n Edisdh finds the lad he thinks capable of the heritage, we want to- see him. The American race is a hardy one and not overly afraid qf, punishment. We say that after reading that quite a num ber of school officials are seeking the criticism which goes along with the school job left vacant here by Supt. Griffin. Now that the Gaston jury failed to discover who wreck ed the headquarters of strikers we suppose that question Will be. North Carolina’s mystery along with that famous list, including the guy who hit Billy Patterson, the where abouts of the long-lost Charley lloss, and the identity of Airnold Uothstein’s slayer. Some expert came along and declared that ‘‘the hair is an excellent barometer of your physical condition," where upon The Greenville News queried: ‘‘And how do they rate bald men by that test?" The Greensboro News then topped it off by asking, “And how do they rate gals who last sum mer were brunettes and now are blondes?” And what rela tion, we ask, will that scientific discovery have upon the Kt that “gentlemen do,” or do not, “prefer blondes”? ILL AMERICA’S reign as the leading nation of the world come to an end because our people are killing themselves off by voluntary and careless suicides? The star of the empire switches from one country to an other every few' generations. The brilliance of Athens, the power and glory of Rome, the power in the vast ness of the English empire, the military foresight of Germany—they have all passed. The historians and the philosophers have an explanation for the downfall of each and the rise of an other. Now it is the wealth of America, and it may be that the speed of America will bring us to the end of our reign, fifteen, twenty, and even twenty-five killed in week-end ac cidents in automobiles and airplanes. Speed is back of it all, speed in living and in travelling. The fast life, sooner or later, leads nearly always to suicide or some other bad end, and foolish speed in the highway or in the air sooner or later leads to a mangled pile on the grade crossing, by the side of the highway, or under a mass in a field where the burning plane fell. LEFT HOLDING THE HAG ALTHOUGH this paper contends that the textile unrest in the South is not altogether to be blamed upon the work ers we do say that textile mill employees of this state are riot helping themselves by listening to and following the lead ership of such as Beal and Pershing. The recent happenings at the Pincville mill, as pictured below by The Salisbury Post, offer ample proof: ‘JThe Pincville mills near Charlotte opened for work again yesterday afternoon after being closed for three weeks on account of strikes, and, according to reports, the force of workers on band was 50 per cent greater than needed to operate the mill at capacity. It is also recorded that neither Beal, Pershing nor Sroka, nor any other of the leaders of the strike, and official organizers for the National Textile Work ers Union, showed up on the scene. The strikers there fur ther declared that about $150 had been spent by the union in the past three weeks in relief work among the 150 fam ilies or mol's represented in the strike. “That might have been expected. The communistic leaders did not plan to spend much money in aiding the strik ers when they organized and called the strike. They were wanting to line their own pockets with cash—and then do the fadeout. As usual, they left the strikers holding the bag, and the workers found out, to their grief, that the many promises were easily made, and not kept by their so-called leaders. The sooner mill workers learn that these high pres sure organizers and communistic leaders are in reality their worst enemies, and that their employers are their best friends, the better will be their condition.’’ SIMMONS AND BLAIR 'T'OM BOST, who usually manages to get a tasty political 4 morsel out of Raleigh at least once each week, now has any number of people talking about the next United States Senator from Eastern North Carolina. There are any num ber of people who are ready to tell you that it will not be Senator Furnifold M. Simmons, and there are quite a num ber willing to tell you that it will be Senator Simmons again, if he cares for the job. But along comes Tom and intimates that the next senator may be David H. Blair, Republican, and retiring head of the internal revenue department. Just what Host’s reason was we do not recall, hut there :m>, or could be, several angles. Blair due to his Washing ton connections should be a strong candidate, at least a bit stronger than the average Republican candidate in North Carolina (Mr. Hoover, understand, does not come within that classification). And behind the Blair prophecy there is the likelihood of a Democratic split, or rather the reopening of the split of last November. Should Mr. Simmons be the nominee of his party, there are a number of Democrats who have avowed that they will not vote for him again. Whether or not they vote at all that means more votes for the Repub lican candidate. And if Mr. Simmons is not the nominee, al though he seeks the nomination, it might be that his close followers, the anti-Smith Democrats, will not care to vote for the Democrat who beats him out of the nomination. And so on. I’reachor-prophct-philosopher Host should be able to get any number of delectable morsels out of the next senatorial election before it is over. THE “WIDOW’S MITE’’ -THE GASTON county, grand jury which set out to appre hend and bring action against the ruffians destroying the strikers’ headquarters near the Loray mill announces that it is “unable to secure sufficient evidence upon which to make a presentment to the court at this time as to the guilty per sons.” That, it seems to us, leaves it up to Governor Gardner, the State of North Carolina, or somebody to see that the mysterious attack is ferreted out and the proper persons punished. Another line in the report of the grand jury reads “. . . both buildings (strikers’ headquarters and relief store) be ing danuigcd to the extent of an AMOUNT NOT EXCEED ING $500.” (The emphasis upon the amount is placed there by The Star). Why was that line inserted? Drat the amount of dam age done, it is the principle involved that should count. The man who lives, or operates his business, in the humblest of shacks, shacks not worth even $500, has as much right to ex pect protection of law and society as does the multi-million aire for his mansion. Seems as if the Biblical story of the widow’s mite should linger on the memory to the extent of emphasizing that. It 18 the principle involved, the principle of justice and equal protection to all, that should cause the State of North Carolina to remain active after the Gaston grand jury gives up the task, “at this time,” to apprehend the guilty persons. North Carolina troops were in Gastonia when the buildings were damaged. They were there, we repeat a statement of a week ago, “to protect the interests of all concerned,” but nevertheless the damage was done and since the protection, insofar as the strikers were concerned, failed to protect, and now that the local law agencies, Gastonia and Gaston offi cers and the Gaston grand jury, find themselves stumped in securing enough evidence, it appears as if the only fair procedure is for the State to take it up and slay with it until someone is apprehended and punished. There is a saying that “murder will out” and it hardly seems possible that the ac tions and identity of 155 or 40 men, perhaps more, in a popu lated town for a few hours should remain a deep mystery always. 1 he Stars belief that the investigation should continue is not with the intention of “taking sides” with anyone. We were of the opinion at the time that troops should have been sent to Gastonia, because at the outset of the strike it ap peared as if troops would be needed for the safety of all concerned. That protection insofar as two buildings were concerned was not rendered. No doubt there are any num ber ot persons who would now gladly reimburse the damage ot $500, but that is not the idea. The time may come again when troops will be needed about the textile plants of North Carolina. Wfr hope not. but that’s why we say this myster ious attack should be ferreted out, because in time to come it will mean as much, if not more, to mill-owners as to mill workers, for the next time, if the inquiry into the Gastonia aft air is discontinued now, it will be hard to explain to strik ing workers that the soldiers are present "for the protection of all concerned.

The town of Hooper, Neb., has laid claim to the "Law Abiding Championship.” It is a town of 1,014 population, and during 1928 not a single arrest was made w’ithin its borders. All the people obeyed the law. At least none were caught disobeying it. William J. Dau, chairman of the board of trustees of that town, says that the churches are well attend ed, the schools are well filled, and that the people mostly "mind their own business.” That’s the valuable lesson that can be learned from the record of this model town. The people most ! !y '"mind their own business.’’ When people do that, there is very little chance of their breaking any of the laws. More than that, there is very little chance of the heartbreaking tragedies that hap pen mostly because people attend to other people's business. FOR ALDERMAN WARD 2 We hereby offer L. A.

Safety First is more than being Careful Veteran Virginia truckman gives personal testimony Cites need of good high-quality oil G. Mark Davidson of Lexington, Ya., is some thing more than a veteran truckman and a substantial citizen of his community. He uses his truck as a road testing laboratory for various kinds of lubricating oils. Profits in Good Oil Trucking is a keenly competitive business and the profits from a single trip may be the dif ference between using cheap oil or a good oil. The difference between no repairs and a day to a week of overhauling the motor. Mr. Davidson, realizing this fact, proceeded to find out for himself, in the most intelligent fashion, just which oils do stand up on the long, hard pulls in the Virginia hills, and which oils cannot stand the gaff of hill-climb ing, long distance heavy hauling. Mr. David son wanted only the best. After trying a wide variety of different motor oils, Mr. Davidson finally narrowed his choice down to three brands: “Standard,” and two others made by well-known companies. There seemed to be little or no choice as far as the specifications of the oils went. A road test alone would show up the difference, and this Mr. Davidson proceeded to make. „ -— . .. G. Mark Davidson Tests Motor Oils Read liis own story: “On a recent 600-mile trip I used five quarts of a competitor’s oil. Later with another oil I used three quarts. Then I decided to drain my oil and fill up with ‘Standard’ Motor Oil Heavy, and ‘Standard’ Gasoline. On the same trip under the same running conditions, I used only one quart of oil. That proved to me the superior quality' of ‘Standard’ Motor Oil. I do not hesitate to tell my friends that it is the best oil I have ever used.” Convinced by Oilier Oil Like millions of other motorists, Mr. David son discovered that “Standard” Motor Oil is that o-i-l-i-e-r oil. Especially processed from choice crudes, and guaranteed tostandup and everlastingly fight friction. Seals in compress ion too. Allows the motor to utilize more combustion power and show greater mileage per gasoline gallon. It’s the original quality oil at no higher price. Insist upon “Standard.” On sale everywhere you see the “Standard” Motor Oil sign.
