Around Our TOWN Shelby SIDELIGHTS By RENN DRUM This news announcement that W. J. Cash, known among his col lege chums as “Sleepy,” will have an article in the July number of American Mercury with Senator Furnifold Simmons as the topic is of more interest to us than any announcement we’ve seen in some time. And we believe the same will apply to any number of Shelby and Cleveland county people who are readers of the Mercury, Plain Talk, and other magazines much of the same type And then, of course. mere are other reasons. Very little soft soap and taffy arc used in Mercury articles, but instead the views expressed are often so sharp that they give one the idea that a razor blade is being used to slowly slit the skin from the victim, or the subject of the ar ticle. Furthermore, Senator Simmons Is always a good topic in North Carolina, and since last fall he has been much of a national topic, be cause lie has his enemies and hi: friends and both are usually ex treme in their views: to some peo ple the senator is nothing less than a saint in the guise of a Demo rratis (?) politician, while to oth ers he is the opposite, and then some, to the saint, and the fill-in may be left to the individual imag ination. To top that off this col yum, along with numerous others hereabouts and elsewhere, has been I of the opinion that young Cash I would scoie and score heavily ere ! many years in the fields of higher | writing. Readers of The Cleveland | Press, late of Shelby, which he j edited for some time, will recall that ! his editorials were of a type not exceeded by the most literary and philosophical editorial pages of the larger papers. In fact, and we say it as a compliment, his philosophy in comment upen and in observance of current events was a bit more of the thoughtful magazine type than of the newspaper type. We await the July issue of the Mercury with interest, and it is our opinion that many copies of the issue will be read in this section despite our frequent inclination to term Dr. Mencken, the editor, a sour-grape critic with a brilliant but a diseased brain.

Let Everybody Come For Big Time. line in a recent issue of The Star stating that the new city admin istration might put an end to the sounding of the fire siren at noon each day lias caused any amount of conversation about town. Quite ft number of folks, by the talk heard, endorsed 'he likelihood the moment they read about it, while others were not so hot for it seeing as how they've been setting their watches and clocks thereby. The outcome of the report will be interesting, and we say that not giving a tin ker's tink whether it is stopped or not. At first it gave us a shiver dowm the spine but we’ve become ! accustomed to it. HOW MANY THINGS ARE blamed unon tlie mayor of a city concerning which he has nothing to do? About the only way to an swer the question presumably is to run for the office, win if possible, and find out. Often this depart ment finds it a struggle to fill up, but just the other day Mayor Dor sey handed us a bit of verse from the Municipal magazine anent the subject. It will not be of much benefit to me now but with the best wishes for my successor perhaps it will cause some of the people some of the time to be a bit more lenient with Mr. McMurry after he takes office," he said. And that expres sion, if you analyze it, indicates that Mayor Dorsey knows how to lose and lose with a smile—which, incidentally, never lowers the rating of a man with his fellow-citizens. But here come the verses, entitled "Blame The Mayor!" Herb Gee wrote 'em. If you're “stuck up" with a gun, Blame the Mayor! If the street cars do not run, Blame the Mayor! If you sewer is not laid If your taxes are not paid. If the trees give off no shade. Blame the Mayor! If you’re sore at all mankind, Blame the Mayor! If your pants are patched behind, Blame the Mayor! ir the motorists all speed And no traffic signs they heed— Wrecking humans 'til they bleed— Blame the Mayor! If the street lamps do not light, Blame the Mayor! If the crossings are a fright, Blame the Mayor! If the water mains run dry. Don’t give forth a Justy cry— Step right up and biack the eye Of the Mayor! If the weeds grow in your lawn, Blame the Mayor! If your savings cash is gone, Blame the Mayor! If your Jersey cow dries up. If you lose your pointer pup, Do not drop tears in a cup Blame the Mayor! If we never bridge the bay. Blame the Mayor! If it rains 'most ev'rv day, Blame the Mayor! If your false teeth break in two So that food you cannot chew. There is just one thing to do— Blame the Mayor! If your hens refuse to lay, Blame the Mayor! If you fail to draw your pay, Blame the Mayor! If the streets all need new pave, If your soul you cannot save. Do not spout and rant, and rave— Blame the Mayor! If bootleggers ne'er are fined, Blame the Mayor! If the “cops" are never kind. Blame the Mayor! If the poison that you drink Puts your thinktank on the blink Makes your feet, a skating rink— Blame the Mayor! it in gratitude you lark, Blame the Mayor! And your civic duties slack. Blame the Mayor! If this City—by—the Gate Has a fame both wide and great; Equaled nowhere—in no state— BLAME THE MAYOR! NOTICE. North Carolina, Cleveland County. In Superior Court W A. Beam.

HAMRTCK, C)»rk Superior Court nevtnn McSwaln ^iv THE EIDERS "Say Not Thou that the former days were better than these,” we read in Ecclesiastes 7:10; but there are always the wobegone who wail that the church Is failing, that the good old days of piety, faith, hope, and charity are gone from the earth. J, W. Memlnger answers this particular brand of defeatism in the Reformed Church Messenger with some pungency, which he addressed primarily to those of his own faith, may well apply to the wallers of other churches. "You could say,” he writes, "the church was being destroyed when Taul was in the Mamertine prison and the Chris tians were being butchered in the Coliseum at Rome.” ‘ You could say it when John Chrysostom was banished io the desert to die, when Savonarola aft- ] er thundering against the sins of i his day in the old Duomo died in the public square in the city of Florence. You could say it when Zwingli in Switzerland, the Gospel of Christ and warning their people against the sins, not only of the world, but also of the church. Whitefield and Wesley flamed out again in what seemed to be an in different and decadent age. We re member Moody with plain sermon and Gospel hymns bringing thou sands to make a profession of their faith in Christ, and we remember how he was criticized and his Gos pel hymns ridiculed by seminary professors and prominent ministers in the reformed church. “We looked wise, boasted of our theology and our peculiar philosopy. We sat around splitting hairs and chanting our prayers, talking high church and lowr church while thou sands of people hungry for the Gos pel of Christ were seeking church homes in other denominations. “But the church is not failing. As I go in to scores of pulpits, East and West, and look into the faces of splendid congregations, I am ready to declare that we have higher av erage intelligence and finer spirit of fellowship, a better appreciation of the church and what the church stands for. than in any period of the past. Of course we have our backward congregations; we have here and there a preacher who is a parasite, preaching for what he can get out of it, ignoring the larger work of the Kingdom. But with all that and in spite of all that, the moral and spiritual standing of our membership in the Reformed church is higher than at any time in the past. “Our oldest members can remem ber when our elders drank whisky and our deacons drank beer and the members drank hooch. We will not mention the ministers. But drunk enness, profanity ' an<J attending sins were all too common. All that has passed away', We h^ve come to a new and better day;*'1 Commissioner’s Sale Of hand By virtue of the autffflttty invested in me by decree made in the Su perior court of Cleveland county in Special proceeding entitled "Alice Canady and husband.
